I have proposed a lecture about Wikivoyage, although it's a bit technical.
It will be about our experiences of Wikidata usage. We use Wikidata
intensively (up to 300 information accesses per article on voy/de).
I also offered to be around the Wikivoyage desk all the remaining time
during the conference
See you there, Fussi
Hi Folks,
We encourage each and everyone of you to create a program submission. You can submit an interactive workshop or panel, a lecture, a short lighting talk or a poster for our dedicated poster session. Submissions are catered to both onsite and online (live or pre-recorded) or a hybrid combination. We at the Core Organizing Team would like to see a program submission related to Wikivoyage.
The theme for this year's Wikimania is Diversity, Collaboration, Future. Topics that strengthen collaboration on Wikivoyage are topics we like to see this year. These include photography outreach (photo walks, teaching participants on Urban Landscape Photography or Nature Photography), editathon on various travel destinations in the Asia-Pacific region. Singapore is one of a few countries where Freedom of Panorama exists. It is great way to collaborate with each other. There is also a spacious Wikimania Expo space where interactive activities such as editathon can happen.
For participants joining virtually, we also have allocated online hours for you too to allow you to participate & present.
Session submissions for Wikimania 2023 are open until 28 March.

Hi, I have been updating project portals
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T273179> (e.g. www.wiktionary.org) to
the new coding infrastructure to avoid storing them in pages in meta (
m:Www.wikivoyage.org_template
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wikivoyage.org_template>) among other
reasons including better search experience, consistent design, better look,
etc. Now every project has been migrated except wikivoyage because its
portal is completely different (the picture of sunset).
I have been wondering if this is okay to change it to the standard portal
design (like wikipedia.org) because:
- This is not accessible, the contrast of the text is too low (because
of the background image) for people with visual impairments.
- The design is not following the Wikimedia standard (
https://design.wikimedia.org/style-guide) for example the blue is not
#36c
- The general look doesn't follow the standard all other projects
follow, that's part of the movement's brand.
- The current design doesn't really take into account that we might have
more wikivoyage languages in the future, doesn't have proper space for them
(unlike the standard design)
- The current design is completely broken on mobile.
I mentioned this in meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Www.wikivoyage.org_template> but
didn't get any response. So I thought I bring it up here. Fixing this would
take care of a lot of legacy infrastructure we have. Thanks!
Best

Do you create interactive maps with Kartographer [1] (mapframe)? If your
answer is yes, we would like to hear from you. Where do you run into
problems using it? Which new features would you like to see?
Please take part in our survey:
https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/Kartographer-Workflows-EN/
- The survey is open until March 31.
- It takes 10-15 minutes to complete.
- The survey is anonymous. You don't need to register, and we will not
store any personal data which identifies you, such as your name or IP
address.
Language:
Unfortunately, the survey is only available in English, but we have tried
our best to use simple English and to add visual examples. If English is
not your native language, it might help to use a translation tool in your
browser.
Project background:
Wikimedia Germany's Technical Wishes team [2] is currently working on
the Kartographer
extension [1]. Over the last few months, we have been working on a solution
to make this software usable on wikis where it isn’t available yet [3]. In
the next phase of the project, we are planning to improve Kartographer
itself. More information on our work with Kartographer and the focus area
of Geoinformation can be found on our project page [4].
Thank you for your help!

[To all Wikimedia projects, minus mailing lists with an active
discussion already.]
On August 2020, the Wikimedia Foundation board of trustees may decide a
rename to "Wikipedia Foundation" and various other things.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/Boar…>
Following a community meeting, a proposed open letter was written:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_open_letter_on_renaming>
«We ask the Wikimedia Foundation to pause or stop its current movement
renaming activities, due to persistent shortcomings in the current
rebranding process. Future work should be restarted only in a way that
ensures equitable decision-making.»
