Μετάφραση

Στιγμιότυπο οθόνης της συμπτυγμένης λίστας των γλωσσικών συνδέσεων.

Γεια σας, θα ήθελα να σας προϊδεάσω σχετικά με ένα επερχόμενο εργαλείο για τη Βικιπαίδεια που ίσως ήδη να έχετε δει στο Tech News.Compact Language Links καθώς είναι διαθέσιμο στη Βήτα έκδοσή του σε όλα τα wikis της Wikimedia από το 2014. Όταν η επιλογή σύμπτυξης της λίστας των γλωσσικών συνδέσμων είναι ενεργοποιημένη, οι χρήστες βλέπουν έναν πολύ μικρότερο κατάλογο των γλωσσών στην συγκεκριμένη ενότητα του λήμματος (δείτε την εικόνα). Αυτό θα είναι διαθέσιμο ως επιλογή για όλους τους χρήστες την ερχόμενη εβδομάδα, το οποίο θα μπορεί να ενεργοποιηθεί ή να απενεργοποιηθεί κατά προτίμηση. Ανυπομονούμε για τα σχόλιά σας και θα σας παρακαλούσαμε να μας ενημερώσετε σχετικά με οποιαδήποτε απορία σας. Λεπτομέρειες σχετικά με τη σύμπτυξη των γλωσσικών συνδέσμων μπορείτε να διαβάσετε στην τεκμηρίωση του έργου.

Λόγω της μεγάλης κλίμακας ενεργοποίησης αυτής της δυνατότητας, αναγκαστήκαμε να στείλουμε μαζικά αυτό το μήνυμα και ως εκ τούτου είναι γραμμένο μόνο στα αγγλικά. Θα εκτιμούσαμε ιδιαίτερα εάν το μήνυμα αυτό μπορούσε να μεταφραστεί για τους χρήστες της Βικιπαίδειας. Η βασική αυτή ανακοίνωση μπορεί επίσης να μεταφραστεί σε αυτή τη σελίδα. Σας ευχαριστώ. Εκ μέρους της ομάδας γλωσσικών ζητημάτων του Wikimedia. -- :) Ευχαριστίες στον Ανώνυμο Βικιπαιδιστή για τη μετάφραση. Nataly8 ^{συζήτηση} 18:22, 1 Ιουλίου 2016 (EEST)

Πύλη

Έχω μερικές ιδέες!

1. Η πύλη να μετονομασθεί σε πρωτοσέλιδο.
2. Το πρωτοσέλιδο να είναι-εμφανίζεται ως εξής

          Ελληνικά Βικινέα
     Τετάρτη 24 Αυγούστου 2016
Να γράφονται τα 5 σημαντικότερα γεγονότα της ημέρας με συνδέσμους και οι αρθογράφοι π.χ.

Την Τετάρτη η ανακοίνωση των βάσεων στις σχολές ΑΕΙ και ΤΕΙ από τον Βικιδημοσιογράφο

Επίθεση σε σχολείο της Αυστραλίας με χρήση κροκοδείλων από τον Nataly8

Καλή ιδέα; Περιμένω την έγκριση της κοινότητας. Μπορούμε να προσθέσουμε και άλλα πράγματα στο πρωτοσέλιδο.--Βικιδημοσιογράφος (συζήτηση) 00:15, 24 Αυγούστου 2016 (EEST)

Αν θέλεις, μπορείς να προχωρήσεις σε δοκιμές στο πρόχειρό σου. Πρώτον, λέγεται Κύρια Σελίδα, όχι Πύλη. Δεύτερον, όσον αφορά τα 5 άρθρα, κανένα πρόβλημα, αλλά στο μέλλον, όταν θα έχουμε σίγουρα αρκετά άρθρα για να βάζουμε (δηλαδή θα έχουμε περισσότερα από 1 άρθρο κάθε μέρα). Τρίτον, νομίζω τα άρθρα στην Κύρια Σελίδα πρέπει να εμφανίζονται όπως τώρα, δηλαδή τίτλος και μικρή περίληψη και όχι απλά ο τίτλος και το όνομα εκείνου που το δημιούργησε. Αλλά, όπως είπα και στην αρχή, μπορείς να πειραματιστείς σε μια πρόχειρη σελίδα. Nataly8 ^{συζήτηση} 11:32, 24 Αυγούστου 2016 (EEST)

Nataly8, μπορείς την ημερομηνία να τη βάλεις κάτω από τον τίτλο και να σβήσεις τα -, από το Πρότυπο:Πρωτοσέλιδο; Επιπλέον μπορείς το πρότυπο να το ταιριάξεις μαζί με αυτο Κύρια Σελίδα/header;--Βικιδημοσιογράφος (συζήτηση) 16:44, 24 Αυγούστου 2016 (EEST)

Πράξε όπως νομίζεις. Για την πρόταση της ονομασίας δε τοποθετήθηκες. Πες τη γνώμη σου.--Βικιδημοσιογράφος (συζήτηση) 17:03, 24 Αυγούστου 2016 (EEST)

Έσβησα τις παύλες από το πρότυπο, αλλά δεν ξέρω πως ακριβώς θέλεις να το ταιριάξω στην επικεφαλίδα της Κύριας Σελίδας - μπορείς να δοκιμάσεις στο πρόχειρό σου. Τώρα, όσον αφορά την ονομασία, είναι κοινός κανόνας στα εγχειρήματα της Wikimedia να λέγεται Κύρια Σελίδα. Nataly8 ^{συζήτηση} 18:35, 24 Αυγούστου 2016 (EEST)

H έλειξε.--Βικιδημοσιογράφος (συζήτηση) 18:48, 25 Αυγούστου 2016 (EEST)

Νέα σελίδα πρόχειρο

Καλησπέρα! Σήμερα δημιούργησα το πρόχειρο των βικινέων. Βικινέα:Πρόχειρο. Τώρα θα μπορούμε να πειραματιζόμαστε εκεί.--Βικιδημοσιογράφος (συζήτηση) 16:23, 24 Αυγούστου 2016 (EEST)

Πρότυπο

Σε θα 'πρεπε να υπάρχει πρότυπο για τη βόρεια Κύπρο;

24 Οκτωβρίου 2013 Πρότυπο:Βόρεια Κύπρος --Βικιδημοσιογράφος (συζήτηση) 17:30, 24 Αυγούστου 2016 (EEST)

Όχι, η ΤΔΒΚ δεν είναι αναγνωρισμένο κράτος, οπότε δεν έχει κάποιο νόημα το εν λόγω πρότυπο. Τα άρθρα για γεγονότα που θα λάβουν χώρα στη βόρεια Κύπρο συμπεριλαμβάνονται στο πρότυπο Κύπρος. Nataly8 ^{συζήτηση} 18:17, 24 Αυγούστου 2016 (EEST)

ΣΗΜΑΝΤΙΚΟ: Επιθεώρηση δραστηριότητας διαχειριστών

Χαίρετε! Μία πολιτική για την αφαίρεση «ανώτερων δικαιωμάτων» (διαχειριστής, γραφειοκράτης, κτλ) υιοθετήθηκε με συναίνεση της παγκόσμιας κοινότητας το 2013. Σύμφωνα με αυτή την πολιτική, οι επίτροποι επιθεωρούν την δραστηριότητα των διαχειριστών σε όλα τα wiki του ιδρύματος Wikimedia που δεν έχουν τοπική πολιτική για τους αδρανείς διαχειριστές. Σύμφωνα με όσα γνωρίζουμε, το wiki σας δεν διαθέτει επίσημη διαδικασία για την αφαίρεση «ανωτέρων δικαιωμάτων» από ανενεργούς λογαριασμούς. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι οι επίτροποι θα δράσουν σύμφωνα με την επιθεώρηση δραστηριότητας διαχειριστών.

Διαπιστώσαμε ότι οι ακόλουθοι χρήστες πληρούν τα κριτήρια αδράνειας (καμία επεξεργασία και καμία διαχειριστική δραστηριότητα για πάνω από 2 χρόνια):

1. User:Patriot8790

Αυτοί οι χρήστες θα λάβουν σύντομα ειδοποίηση, που θα τους ζητά να αρχίσουν μία συζήτηση στην κοινότητα για το άν θέλουν να κρατήσουν κάποια ή όλα τα δικαιώματά τους. Αν οι χρήστες δεν ανταποκριθούν, τότε τα ανώτερα δικαιώματά τους θα αφαιρεθούν από τους επιτρόπους.

Ωστόσο, αν εσείς ως κοινότητα θέλετε να φτιάξετε τη δική σας διαδικασία επιθεώρησης δραστηριότητας που να υπερκαλύπτει την παγκόσμια, θέλετε να πάρετε άλλη απόφαση σχετικά με τους ανενεργούς κατόχους αυτών των δικαιωμάτων, ή έχετε ήδη αντίστοιχη πολιτική που την παραβλέψαμε, παρακαλούμε ειδοποιήστε τους επιτρόπους στο Meta-Wiki, έτσι ώστε να γνωρίζουμε να μην προχωρήσουμε με την επιθεώρηση δικαιωμάτων στο wiki σας. Ευχαριστούμε, --MarcoAurelio (συζήτηση) 01:04, 17 Απριλίου 2018 (EEST)

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally

Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

Hello everyone,

I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.

This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like WP:NPOV, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.

As far as I can see, Βικινέα currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.

I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this proposal.

Best regards,
--Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:12, 18 Φεβρουαρίου 2021 (EET)

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its project page.

Drafting Committee: Call for applications

The Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.

To apply and learn more about the process, see Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee.

2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators

From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.

To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.

Global bot policy changes

Γεια σας!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας. According to the list, your wiki project is currently opted in to the global bot policy. As such, I want to let you know about some changes that were made after the global RfC was closed.

• Global bots are now subject to a 2 week discussion, and it'll be publicized via a MassMessage list, available at Bot policy/New global bot discussion on Meta. Please subscribe yourself or your wiki if you are interested in new global bots proposals.
• For a bot to be considered for approval, it must demonstrate it is welcomed in multiple projects, and a good way to do that is to have the bot flag on at least 5 wikis for a single task.
• The bot operator should make sure to adhere to the wiki's preference as related to the use of the bot flag (i.e., if a wiki doesn't want a bot to use the flag as it edits, that should be followed).

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
—Thanks for the fish! ^{talk•contribs} 21:48, 6 Απριλίου 2021 (EEST)

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis

Παράδειγμα

Από τις 15 Απριλίου, μπορείτε να ενεργοποιήσετε την αρίθμηση γραμμής σε ορισμένους συντάκτες wikitext - προς το παρόν στο χώρο ονομάτων προτύπων, σύντομα θα έρθουμε σε περισσότερους χώρους ονομάτων. Αυτό θα διευκολύνει τον εντοπισμό αλλαγών γραμμής και την αναφορά σε μια συγκεκριμένη γραμμή στις συζητήσεις. Αυτοί οι αριθμοί θα εμφανιστούν εάν ενεργοποιήσετε τη δυνατότητα επισήμανσης σύνταξης (επέκταση CodeMirror), η οποία υποστηρίζεται στους συντάκτες wikitext 2010 και 2017.

Περισσότερες πληροφορίες μπορείτε να βρείτε σε αυτή τη σελίδα του έργου. Ο καθένας καλείται να δοκιμάσει τη λειτουργία και να δώσει σχόλια σε αυτήν τη σελίδα.

Suggested Values

From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.

More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Below are some links to guide you through;

• Program Submissions
• Session Submission Guidelines
• FAQ

Please note that the deadline for submission is 18th June 2021.

Announcements- To keep up to date with the developments around Wikimania, the COT sends out weekly updates. You can view them in the Announcement section here.

Office Hour - If you are left with questions, the COT will be hosting some office hours (in multiple languages), in multiple time-zones, to answer any programming questions that you might have. Details can be found here.

Editing news 2021 #2

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (Source)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:

• Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
• The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Εργαλεία συζήτησης" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Server switch

Read this message in another language • Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, 29 June 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday 30 June).
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• There will be code freezes for the week of June 28. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end

Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the Elections Committee completes their review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.

6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the election.

Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees election will be even better.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January

Hello everyone,

We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.

Summary:

We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.

Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year

In the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.

However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.

We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.

Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities

We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.

A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet

We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.

We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!

Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase

If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!

Feedback

• What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
• How would you like to use our new sandbox?
• What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
• What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?

Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

We are looking for people who have some of the following skills:

• Know how to write collaboratively. (demonstrated experience is a plus)
• Are ready to find compromises.
• Focus on inclusion and diversity.
• Have knowledge of community consultations.
• Have intercultural communication experience.
• Have governance or organization experience in non-profits or communities.
• Have experience negotiating with different parties.

The Committee is expected to start with 15 people. If there are 20 or more candidates, a mixed election and selection process will happen. If there are 19 or fewer candidates, then the process of selection without election takes place.

Server switch

Read this message in another language • Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, 14 September 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday, 15 September).
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Περισσότερες γλώσσες • Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

• What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?

• What involvement should candidates have during the election?

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?

Contact the Movement Strategy and Governance team on Meta, on Telegram, or via email at msgwikimedia.org.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

ΣΗΜΑΝΤΙΚΟ: Επιθεώρηση δραστηριότητας διαχειριστών

Χαίρετε! Μία πολιτική για την αφαίρεση «ανώτερων δικαιωμάτων» (διαχειριστής, γραφειοκράτης, κτλ) υιοθετήθηκε με συναίνεση της παγκόσμιας κοινότητας το 2013. Σύμφωνα με αυτή την πολιτική, οι επίτροποι επιθεωρούν την δραστηριότητα των διαχειριστών σε όλα τα wiki του ιδρύματος Wikimedia που δεν έχουν τοπική πολιτική για τους αδρανείς διαχειριστές. Σύμφωνα με όσα γνωρίζουμε, το wiki σας δεν διαθέτει επίσημη διαδικασία για την αφαίρεση «ανωτέρων δικαιωμάτων» από ανενεργούς λογαριασμούς. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι οι επίτροποι θα δράσουν σύμφωνα με την επιθεώρηση δραστηριότητας διαχειριστών.

Διαπιστώσαμε ότι οι ακόλουθοι χρήστες πληρούν τα κριτήρια αδράνειας (καμία επεξεργασία και καμία διαχειριστική δραστηριότητα για πάνω από 2 χρόνια):

1. Glavkos (διαχειριστής)

Αυτοί οι χρήστες θα λάβουν σύντομα ειδοποίηση, που θα τους ζητά να αρχίσουν μία συζήτηση στην κοινότητα για το άν θέλουν να κρατήσουν κάποια ή όλα τα δικαιώματά τους. Αν οι χρήστες δεν ανταποκριθούν, τότε τα ανώτερα δικαιώματά τους θα αφαιρεθούν από τους επιτρόπους.

Ωστόσο, αν εσείς ως κοινότητα θέλετε να φτιάξετε τη δική σας διαδικασία επιθεώρησης δραστηριότητας που να υπερκαλύπτει την παγκόσμια, θέλετε να πάρετε άλλη απόφαση σχετικά με τους ανενεργούς κατόχους αυτών των δικαιωμάτων, ή έχετε ήδη αντίστοιχη πολιτική που την παραβλέψαμε, παρακαλούμε ειδοποιήστε τους επιτρόπους στο Meta-Wiki, έτσι ώστε να γνωρίζουμε να μην προχωρήσουμε με την επιθεώρηση δικαιωμάτων στο wiki σας. Ευχαριστούμε, Stanglavine (συζήτηση) 19:48, 11 Ιανουαρίου 2022 (EET)
