DEFAULTSORT to alphabetize biography pages dezie

Greetings, Tochi Precious! I noticed the pages created for the Wikipedia Igbo Women Edit-a-thon, many by you. I did notice one thing irregular when these pages appear in categories: many are in the alphabetical letter of their first name. This is because:

  • All biography page names (in many WP language projects, including IG and EN) have the first name first.
  • However, in a category we want the pages to display in alphabetical order by the surname (family name).

Now, as I don't know the Igbo language, I help in this Wikipedia by organizing content. You may have seen my edit summaries in July, almost all with DEFAULTSORT. A page name is sorted (in top-to-bottom order) in a category by its first letter - this is the default when nothing else is specified. So for a biography page, we want the first letter of the surname. To do this in Edit mode:

  • Above the first category, add {{DEFAULTSORT:Surname, Name1 Name2}}, where Name1 is the first name (given name) and for some people, Name2 follows Name1. (But see below: three or more names)
  • Note the spacing and punctuation! No space between the colon mark (:) and the Surname. Comma and space after the Surname. A single space between Name1 and Name2 (if any), then no space before the pair of right-hand brackets.
  • If a person has three or more names, and you don't know whether the middle one is part of a double surname or just a second given name (Name2):
    • Look at the DEFAULTSORT as it appears in the Edit version of the person's page in a major language (EN, DE, etc.)
    • Copy it complete with both left-hand and right-hand sets of brackets, then paste it on the Igbo WP page as above.

I hope these explanations are helpful to you! Feel free to ask me anything else, and of course to share this with your sister and brother IG WP editors. -- Deborahjay (talk) 11:49, 12 Ọnwaàsaà 2018 (UTC)

Greetings Deborahjay, thank you very much for this. Your input is greatly appreciated. I usually do not make changes to the Names while translating. Please I would like to understand if you mean I should change the position of the names using surnames first instead of leaving it the way it usually is? Thank you very much. Tochi Precious (talk) 18:26, 12 Ọnwaàsaà 2018 (UTC)
The use of names is fine the way you've written them. The addition of the DEFAULTSORT template is only for the purpose of establishing the display in categories according to the spelling of the person's surname (family name). Take a look at the 65 (!) page names in the category (Òtù) Wikipedia Igbo Women Edit-a-thon: initial letters A-E and S have all been corrected, but F and P-R have not. For each of the women whose names are alphabetical in the category by surname, look in Edit view above the category and you'll see the DEFAULTSORT template. Also, do you know how to look at another editor's changes in Lèe ita by comparing two versions (Sikwu orü áká di)? That will show exactly what I did. I'm glad to be of help! -- Deborahjay (talk) 19:49, 12 Ọnwaàsaà 2018 (UTC)
Well noted, thank you.

References section heading dezie

Greetings, dear Tochi Precious! I've come back to the Igbo WP to make what improvements I can without knowing Asụ̀sụ̀ Ìgbò. Here's something that needs your confirmation: When I open a biography page to make it sort alphabetically by surname (Template:DEFAULTSORT) - I see many pages use the section heading References in English. May I replace it with Nrụtụaka - or what's correct? -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 20:30, 20 Ọnwaàtọ 2020 (UTC)

Greetings great Deborahjay Thanks so much for coming back to Igbo WP. Yes please kindly replace with Nrụtụaka it's very correct. Kind regards Tochiprecious (talk) 22:49, 20 Ọnwaàtọ 2020 (WAT)

Translation request dezie

Hi, could you please translate this article to Igbo?

Vicente Costalago is a philologist, author and writer in the artificial language Interlingue. He is the main writer in that language. He published the first original novel in Lingua Franca Nova, entitled "La xerca per Pahoa". His second publication was written in Interlingue. Entitled "Li sercha in li castelle Dewahl e altri racontas", it is an original book. It was followed by "Antologie hispan", a compilation of texts from the Spanish literature translated to Interlingue. His third book, also in Interlingue, was "Fabules, racontas e mites".

Thanks for your help. --Caro de Segeda (kwuo) 09:26, 18 Ọnwa mbụ 2022 (UTC)

Campaigns Product Update #3 dezie

Hello Campaigns Product Newsletter subscribers!

We are excited to share our updates:

  • Proposal to create new namespaces: We have proposed to create two namespaces, which are “Event” and “Event talk.” This way, we can easily create an Event Center that pulls data from event pages. This Event Center may include tools to create event pages with registration support, a calendar of events, and event statistics, among other features. More importantly, the Event Center will highlight organizing as an essential part of the Wikimedia movement. Please give us feedback on Phabricator or Meta about our proposal to create two new namespaces.
  • Engineering updates: We are excited that we have finished hiring for our engineering team! Three engineers and an engineering manager have joined our team since our last update. In the last few months, they have conducted technical planning and launched the building phase of the project. They are now building the registration tool. You can see the updated team on meta.
  • Design updates: We conducted usability tests with a small group of testers for early feedback on the desktop wireframes. After collecting this feedback, we have developed a new version for desktop wireframes, which will be ready to share in the next few weeks. These desktop wireframes display the user flow of two experiences: one for organizers who want to add registration to their event pages, and another for participants who want to register for an event. Additionally, the design team is also currently working on the first version of mobile wireframes, which will be shared during the next office hour.
1. View the latest desktop wireframes in Figma for Campaign Organizer Prototype and Participant Registration Prototype.
2. Leave us some feedback on the desktop wireframes. Note that we haven’t posted the newest version of the desktop wireframes on the project page yet, but we will soon (and you can feel free to add feedback on any version you have seen).
  • Ambassador updates: Three product ambassadors for the Arabic, French and Swahili communities have now joined our team! They will help us collect feedback from Wikimedia communities about the project and understand the needs of organizers, through gathering first-hand information. These ambassadors are immersed as actual members of these communities, so they will also help us identify the needs of the organizers in our pilot communities. The ambassadors are: M. Bachounda for Arabic communities, Georges Fodouop for French communities, and Antoni Mtavangu for Swahili communities.

What is next?

Next Office Hour: We will be holding an office hour on March 31, 2022 at 15:00 UTC, which will be conducted via Zoom. We invite everyone to attend, and we really hope to see you! The focus will be on the Registration Tool. The team will also be providing community updates on the usability test findings and design highlights for the wireframes. We will also share our current Project timeline and answer any questions you may have. Join us and share your thoughts on these developments!
In a few months, we are expecting to have the early testable version of the tool. By then, the team will be doing the first round of general testing and gathering feedback. We are looking forward to adding more features on the tool such as communication support, potentially by the end of this year. If you know other organizers that might be interested in following these developments, please recommend that they subscribe to the newsletter. We want to receive as much feedback as we can.

Thank you!

Campaigns Product Update #4 dezie

Hello Campaigns Product Newsletter subscribers!

We are excited to share our updates:

  • Event Registration v0
We have successfully launched Event Registration tool V0 on beta cluster and collected feedback from the first batch of testers. This tool is part of a more comprehensive organizing solution, the Event Center, which hopes to support movement organizers. Through this registration solution, organizers can collect useful data on campaign participants and their needs while respecting participant privacy.
Testing update. In our first round of feedback collection, testers were composed of different types of organizers around the movement with a language focus on Arabic, French, English, and Swahili communities. Most of the testers successfully created their test event registrations and signed up for a test event registration created by other organizers. Simple, easy to use, and aids in managing event participants were the common feedback we received from first-time users. In contrast, access and proper localization of the tool were the points for improvement identified. We are working on V1, which will include communication support and integration with the Programs and Event Dashboard. This will be released on Meta-Wiki soon. We hope to address accessibility during this launch and improve localization problems once the tool has been deployed in local wikiprojects.
The tool is still available for testing on the beta cluster. Feel free to leave feedback on our project talk page or this form.
  • Organizer Lab
    Looking for a way to learn how to effectively organize around sustainability? Join the beta version of the Organizer Lab on WikiLearn to understand how to effectively organize a global campaign around sustainability and climate change! Applications are open from September 22 - October 19, 2022. The Organizer Lab will be a 9-week online learning experience from the end of October until mid December that prepares participants to obtain knowledge about the topics that they wish to create, a call to action for strategic knowledge gaps, as well as more generalized Wikimedia organizing and campaign/event design skills.
Read more about the program!


What's Next:

  • Organizer User Rights. We are reaching out to a pool of administrators from Arabic, French and Swahili communities to collect feedback on what is the best way to define organizer user rights, what privileges to give to community organizers, and what are the limitations of these privileges. Feel free to reach out to our product ambassadors or send an email to ibrazal-ctr@wikimedia.org if you are interested to be part of these conversations.



Community Feedback:

"Participants have been always asking the organizers are asked by participants whether they are registered, now participants will just look directly if they are registered, Thank you for creating the system"
- French Organizer

“I think that the platform will facilitate the process of promoting events and searching for participants”
- Arabic Organizer

Templates dezie

Good day Tochi, My name is Reading Beans and I edit majorly at the English Wikipedia. I recently brought en:Igbo literature (an article I started from scratch) to good article status. I have a native understanding of Igbo language (because I am Igbo too) and I had to translate it to Igbo. But, I do have a problem; most templates for referencing in the English Wikipedia does not exist here. And so, I was wondering if you could make a request at meta for the creation of these templates. I'm talking about templates such as [1] or Àtụ:Efn, but most importantly sfn. Best, Reading Beans (ṅkátá) 11:00, 10 Ọktoba 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Reading Beans thank you so much for this. Yes, we struggle with those templates in the Igbo Wikipedia. I'm happy to make a request for the creation of these templates but I'm not sure how to. Should I start a new page with the title as requesting for templates or is there a specific place I can make the request on meta? Thanks again and looking to hear from you. Tochiprecious (ṅkátá) 09:04, 11 Ọktoba 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Ọbanife:Tochiprecious, I was thinking that the committee that approved the Igbo Wikipedia could help. Anyways, check out Phabricator and make your request. Best, Reading Beans (ṅkátá) 05:02, 12 Ọktoba 2023 (UTC)Reply
If I should do it myself, I think I'll need to be an administrator to be able to do it. See this guide here. Best, Reading Beans (ṅkátá) 05:10, 12 Ọktoba 2023 (UTC)Reply
