== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, [[Usor:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:EPIC|disputatio]]) 22:22, 22 Februarii 2025 (UTC)
== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)
:@[[Usor:Ser be etre shi|Ser be etre shi]] Are you able to help with this? Ping in case so. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:27, 3 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:@[[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] Just checking these look like quite a small number of changes, is that right? It may be easiest to do these manually. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:38, 24 Octobris 2025 (UTC)

I am writing to you to let you know that [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Annual_review/Proposed_Changes|proposed changes]] to the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_guidelines|Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Charter|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) Charter]] are open for review. '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Annual_review/Proposed_Changes|You can provide feedback on suggested changes]]''' through the [[d:Q614092|end of day]] on Tuesday, 18 March 2025. This is the second step in the annual review process, the final step will be community voting on the proposed changes.
[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Annual_review|Read more information and find relevant links about the process on the UCoC annual review page on Meta]].
The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee]] (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC.

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|OrbiliusMagister}} as the only active magister! --[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:16, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective. However I think it is useful tobe able to see and use the originals for some people, eg those practicing reading Renaissance scans etc; or researchers or academics looking to use source texts.

[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:02, 17 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
:::::@[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] I have made a very basic template for flexible character switching at [[Formula:Scr]]; this returns the first entry on the book page, and the second in main space, eg <nowiki>{{scr|qꝫ|que}}</nowiki> would work the same as <nowiki>{{que}}</nowiki>.
:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:
::::::# Installed the font Garamontio, as it has the qꝫ character, and all the possible ligatures
::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here).

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.
You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]].

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:50, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]].

I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:31, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::@[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] I think the Portal namespace and some modules need setting up which require admin permissions, I will dig a bit further and come back to you. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 20:01, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].
Thank you, - [[m:User:Danny_Benjafield_(WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] on behalf of the Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects Team. [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 12:46, 14 Iulii 2025 (UTC)

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/FAQ|our FAQ]] – you will find many useful answers there. You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

:::So there are two reasons it would be helpful for me to be an admin; one is if we carry on with the approval system (it looks like we will not) and the other is around updating or adding certain components, modules for example.

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-09-24|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-09-24T15:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-09-24T15:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
You can contribute to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=Centralnotice-tgroup-read_only_banner&task=view&language=&filter=&action=translate translation or proofreading] of this banner text.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-09-24|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

== Copying some templates from the English Wikisource ==
Hello,
Would someone please be able to help me get [[s:en:Template:ppoem|en:Template:ppoem]], [[s:en:blackletter|en:blackletter]], [[s:en:Template:he|en:Template:he]], and [[s:en:Template:grc|en:Template:grc]] available to use on this Wikisource, so I can utilize them here? For the blackletter, I've tried [[Formula:Gothica|Gothica]], but that doesn't seem to be rendering properly.

::Hi! @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]], thanks! Just for clarification, do I need to make the template pages in Latin, or is it alright to copy them in English? Also, @[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]], I mentioned this above, but for some reason, the Gothica template isn't working for me. See [[Pagina:Polygamia Triumphatrix.pdf/15]], for example.

:::@[[Usor:Erblanchard57|Erblanchard57]] This wiki lacks proper guidelines and recommendations, I would prefer if you translated the template's name, e.g., [[Formula:spatium]] rather than [[Formula:spatio]] but given the international nature of the project (nobody's mother tongue is Latin) best practice should be to add translated names as shortcuts/redirects. Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]). I took a quick look and it seems the fonts used by the blackletter template are not installed on the wiki; the same template does not seem to work on the French Wikisource either.

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?
Gratias vobis ago pro consiliis vestris. [[Usor:Sakvaka|Sakvaka]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Sakvaka|disputatio]]) 09:16, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)
:Of course, this is acceptable; the texts there are of very different quality. Besides, transclusion slightly increases the chances that someone will find it for re-examination. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 20:40, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

[[Usor:Saumache]] paginam “[[Metamorphoses (Apuleius)/Psyche et Cupido]]” [[Specialis:Diff/86153/253177|ad deletionem celerem proposuit]], sed scriptum mihi videtur ex alia editione ortum esse atque ideo non esse delendum. Pittacium idcirco e pagina detraxi. --[[Usor:Grufo|Grufo]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Grufo|disputatio]]) 20:50, 9 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective. However I think it is useful tobe able to see and use the originals for some people, eg those practicing reading Renaissance scans etc; or researchers or academics looking to use source texts.

:::::@[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] I have made a very basic template for flexible character switching at [[Formula:Scr]]; this returns the first entry on the book page, and the second in main space, eg <nowiki>{{scr|qꝫ|que}}</nowiki> would work the same as <nowiki>{{que}}</nowiki>.
:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:
::::::# Installed the font Garamontio, as it has the qꝫ character, and all the possible ligatures
::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
:::::::@[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]], reading this I wanted to tell you that you could apply styles to a index page, but I see you have already figured it out. Kudos on your progress. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 09:56, 9 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
::::::::Thanks @[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]]; my list of scribal transformations has got quite long tho. And I need to check on the possible logic of it, some needs to hide and unhide, rather than search and replace.

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Administrator backlog? ==
Hi there,
I am noticing a lot of pages that say that the current version is not checked; and versions I have amended are not (apparently) displayed because they need approval. Am I right in assuming this is due to a lack of (active) administrator time? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:53, 30 Maii 2025 (UTC)

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:50, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]].

== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:31, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/FAQ|our FAQ]] – you will find many useful answers there. You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

:::So there are two reasons it would be helpful for me to be an admin; one is if we carry on with the approval system (it looks like we will not) and the other is around updating or adding certain components, modules for example.

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

== Missal transcription: ℣ and ℟ , and ✠ ==
Hi there, @[[Usor:Laura1822|Laura1822]] is transcribing [[Liber:Missale Romanum 1862.djvu]], and needs the characters ℣ and ℟ , and ✠ to display for users, when these are in mainspace. We think it may be necessary to use a special / embedded font to do this, as I think was meant for <nowiki>{{blackletter}}</nowiki> ({{blackletter|exempli gratia}}; see [[Formula:Blackletter/styles.css]], although this does not seem to be calling a font at the moment). Does anyone have any advice about how we would add a webfont to LAWS's CSS, particularly for ℣ and ℟ ; or if there is a way to use an existing webfont with these characters that might be available to us? (Or if there is some other workable solution). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:58, 24 Octobris 2025 (UTC)

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]).

'''Legal & Safety Contacts'''
Hello community, the Wikimedia Foundation has provided a [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation Legal and Safety Contact Information|single legal and safety contact page]], to be linked in the footer of your wiki, to ensure access to accurate legal information. This is a regulatory requirement. We have already rolled out links to English, German, Italian, Spanish and other wikis and we will deploy to your wiki soon. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Legal_and_Safety_Contacts_FAQ|Please read more on the project page]] and leave any comments in this thread or on the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Legal and Safety Contacts FAQ|talk page]].

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?
Gratias vobis ago pro consiliis vestris. [[Usor:Sakvaka|Sakvaka]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Sakvaka|disputatio]]) 09:16, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)
:Of course, this is acceptable; the texts there are of very different quality. Besides, transclusion slightly increases the chances that someone will find it for re-examination. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 20:40, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Metamorphoses (Apuleius)/Psyche et Cupido ==
[[Usor:Saumache]] paginam “[[Metamorphoses (Apuleius)/Psyche et Cupido]]” [[Specialis:Diff/86153/253177|ad deletionem celerem proposuit]], sed scriptum mihi videtur ex alia editione ortum esse atque ideo non esse delendum. Pittacium idcirco e pagina detraxi. --[[Usor:Grufo|Grufo]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Grufo|disputatio]]) 20:50, 9 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
:Nam eaedem quidem editiones sunt, quibusdam minusculis in maiusculas versis litteris formaque apostropharum solum differunt. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 21:08, 9 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
:I lacked the rights to have it be toggled on and off through a gadget, we should ask interface administrators to do it, that should be the best way about it. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 22:45, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

::I consent to the proposal, though I am not sure about the translation 'Portus'. I think that 'Aditus' would better suit this usecase, since from portals users will be able to 'adire' the relevant pages. P.S. Out of curiosity I have checked the dictionary of A. Perugini, and he translates 'portale' as 'porta principalis. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 16:31, 20 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, [[Usor:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:EPIC|disputatio]]) 22:22, 22 Februarii 2025 (UTC)
== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective. However I think it is useful tobe able to see and use the originals for some people, eg those practicing reading Renaissance scans etc; or researchers or academics looking to use source texts.

:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:
::::::# Installed the font Garamontio, as it has the qꝫ character, and all the possible ligatures
::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:50, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]]. It seems to work very well and is extremely labour saving! [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 22:59, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:31, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::@[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] I think the Portal namespace and some modules need setting up which require admin permissions, I will dig a bit further and come back to you. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 20:01, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].
Thank you, - [[m:User:Danny_Benjafield_(WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] on behalf of the Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects Team. [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 12:46, 14 Iulii 2025 (UTC)

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/FAQ|our FAQ]] – you will find many useful answers there. You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

::::::I see... I had a quick look and all changes seem good. Do we even need this extension on Wikisource?

::Of course, the request needs to be supported; without active administrators it is very inconvenient. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:21, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::What do you need us to do? BTW, it would be great to know why edits require administrator approvals. Sorry, but I‘m afraid this makes contributing almost pointless. Many thanks for your help, --[[Usor:Ousia|Ousia]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Ousia|disputatio]]) 14:15, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-09-24|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-09-24T15:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-09-24T15:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.

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.

Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]).

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

:@[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] I think it would be best to take inspiration from [[:w:la]], at least for the vocabulary. This would:
:* provide a vocabulary and structure people may be well accointed with already
:* facilitate our work, not having to find the proper terms for ourselves
:* have some sort of continuity between Latin projects

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, [[Usor:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:EPIC|disputatio]]) 22:22, 22 Februarii 2025 (UTC)
== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective. However I think it is useful tobe able to see and use the originals for some people, eg those practicing reading Renaissance scans etc; or researchers or academics looking to use source texts.

:::::@[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] I have made a very basic template for flexible character switching at [[Formula:Scr]]; this returns the first entry on the book page, and the second in main space, eg <nowiki>{{scr|qꝫ|que}}</nowiki> would work the same as <nowiki>{{que}}</nowiki>.
:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:
::::::# Installed the font Garamontio, as it has the qꝫ character, and all the possible ligatures
::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works.

:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]]. It seems to work very well and is extremely labour saving! [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 22:59, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:31, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::@[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] I think the Portal namespace and some modules need setting up which require admin permissions, I will dig a bit further and come back to you. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 20:01, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/FAQ|our FAQ]] – you will find many useful answers there. You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

:::So there are two reasons it would be helpful for me to be an admin; one is if we carry on with the approval system (it looks like we will not) and the other is around updating or adding certain components, modules for example.

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...

:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-09-24|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-09-24T15:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-09-24T15:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
You can contribute to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=Centralnotice-tgroup-read_only_banner&task=view&language=&filter=&action=translate translation or proofreading] of this banner text.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-09-24|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

:::@[[Usor:Erblanchard57|Erblanchard57]] This wiki lacks proper guidelines and recommendations, I would prefer if you translated the template's name, e.g., [[Formula:spatium]] rather than [[Formula:spatio]] but given the international nature of the project (nobody's mother tongue is Latin) best practice should be to add translated names as shortcuts/redirects. Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]). I took a quick look and it seems the fonts used by the blackletter template are not installed on the wiki; the same template does not seem to work on the French Wikisource either.

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?
Gratias vobis ago pro consiliis vestris. [[Usor:Sakvaka|Sakvaka]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Sakvaka|disputatio]]) 09:16, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

[[Usor:Saumache]] paginam “[[Metamorphoses (Apuleius)/Psyche et Cupido]]” [[Specialis:Diff/86153/253177|ad deletionem celerem proposuit]], sed scriptum mihi videtur ex alia editione ortum esse atque ideo non esse delendum.

== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
:I lacked the rights to have it be toggled on and off through a gadget, we should ask interface administrators to do it, that should be the best way about it. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 22:45, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

::I consent to the proposal, though I am not sure about the translation 'Portus'.

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective. However I think it is useful tobe able to see and use the originals for some people, eg those practicing reading Renaissance scans etc; or researchers or academics looking to use source texts.

[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:02, 17 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
:::::@[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] I have made a very basic template for flexible character switching at [[Formula:Scr]]; this returns the first entry on the book page, and the second in main space, eg <nowiki>{{scr|qꝫ|que}}</nowiki> would work the same as <nowiki>{{que}}</nowiki>.
:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:
::::::# Installed the font Garamontio, as it has the qꝫ character, and all the possible ligatures
::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
:::::::@[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]], reading this I wanted to tell you that you could apply styles to a index page, but I see you have already figured it out. Kudos on your progress. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 09:56, 9 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
::::::::Thanks @[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]]; my list of scribal transformations has got quite long tho. And I need to check on the possible logic of it, some needs to hide and unhide, rather than search and replace.

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

Hi there,
I am noticing a lot of pages that say that the current version is not checked; and versions I have amended are not (apparently) displayed because they need approval.

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works.

:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]].

== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins).

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

{{int:Hello}}. Please help pick a name for the new Abstract Wikipedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki that will enable users to combine functions from [[:f:|Wikifunctions]] and data from Wikidata in order to generate natural language sentences in any supported languages. These sentences can then be used by any Wikipedia (or elsewhere).
There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with votes beginning on 20 October and 17 November 2025. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on mid-December 2025.

== Missal transcription: ℣ and ℟ , and ✠ ==
Hi there, @[[Usor:Laura1822|Laura1822]] is transcribing [[Liber:Missale Romanum 1862.djvu]], and needs the characters ℣ and ℟ , and ✠ to display for users, when these are in mainspace. We think it may be necessary to use a special / embedded font to do this, as I think was meant for <nowiki>{{blackletter}}</nowiki> ({{blackletter|exempli gratia}}; see [[Formula:Blackletter/styles.css]], although this does not seem to be calling a font at the moment). Does anyone have any advice about how we would add a webfont to LAWS's CSS, particularly for ℣ and ℟ ; or if there is a way to use an existing webfont with these characters that might be available to us? (Or if there is some other workable solution). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:58, 24 Octobris 2025 (UTC)

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]).

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?
Gratias vobis ago pro consiliis vestris. [[Usor:Sakvaka|Sakvaka]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Sakvaka|disputatio]]) 09:16, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)
:Of course, this is acceptable; the texts there are of very different quality. Besides, transclusion slightly increases the chances that someone will find it for re-examination. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 20:40, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Metamorphoses (Apuleius)/Psyche et Cupido ==
[[Usor:Saumache]] paginam “[[Metamorphoses (Apuleius)/Psyche et Cupido]]” [[Specialis:Diff/86153/253177|ad deletionem celerem proposuit]], sed scriptum mihi videtur ex alia editione ortum esse atque ideo non esse delendum. Pittacium idcirco e pagina detraxi. --[[Usor:Grufo|Grufo]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Grufo|disputatio]]) 20:50, 9 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
:Nam eaedem quidem editiones sunt, quibusdam minusculis in maiusculas versis litteris formaque apostropharum solum differunt. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 21:08, 9 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
:I lacked the rights to have it be toggled on and off through a gadget, we should ask interface administrators to do it, that should be the best way about it. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 22:45, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

::I consent to the proposal, though I am not sure about the translation 'Portus'. I think that 'Aditus' would better suit this usecase, since from portals users will be able to 'adire' the relevant pages. P.S. Out of curiosity I have checked the dictionary of A. Perugini, and he translates 'portale' as 'porta principalis. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 16:31, 20 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective. However I think it is useful tobe able to see and use the originals for some people, eg those practicing reading Renaissance scans etc; or researchers or academics looking to use source texts.

:::::@[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] I have made a very basic template for flexible character switching at [[Formula:Scr]]; this returns the first entry on the book page, and the second in main space, eg <nowiki>{{scr|qꝫ|que}}</nowiki> would work the same as <nowiki>{{que}}</nowiki>.
:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:
::::::# Installed the font Garamontio, as it has the qꝫ character, and all the possible ligatures
::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

''(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)''
Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.
You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]].

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:50, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]]. It seems to work very well and is extremely labour saving! [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 22:59, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:31, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::@[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] I think the Portal namespace and some modules need setting up which require admin permissions, I will dig a bit further and come back to you. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 20:01, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/FAQ|our FAQ]] – you will find many useful answers there. You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

Hi all, given that we have quite a lot of admin requests (mostly relating to "pending" changes), I would like to request administrator status so that some of these can be cleared. If anyone else wants to step up to help out, that would also be welcome. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 17:23, 1 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:57, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::Hi {{U|JimKillock}},
::I apparently missed it, where do we have « a lot of admin requests » ?
::That said, one more admin is always good, so create the request and I'll support it.
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:34, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:::Hi @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]],
:::Thank you! On the admin requests, on this page, here are these
:::* [[#All pages in Athanasius Kircher - Turris Babel - 1679 are in Categoria:Formulae]]
:::* [[#It would be nice to have automatic headers for the Liber: namespace]] (which you have replied to)
:::* [[#Navigation and validation]]
:::* [[#Administrator backlog?]]
:::* [[#Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s)]] (altho this has been worked around and may not be needed)
:::Most of these relate to the ''Pending changes'' backlog in various ways; two are requests for new features / modules to be ported across. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 09:01, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::::{{ping|JimKillock}} thanks, I see. It doesn't look like a lot to me, I'll try to deal with it today. Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:27, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:::::Thank you @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] :) You could also take a look at the pending changes on [[Formula:Pagina_prima/Novae_Aetatis]] and [[Moriae encomium]]. The really big job is going through [[Specialis:PendingChanges|pending changes]] altogether - I understand there is a five year backlog. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 09:36, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::::::I see... I had a quick look and all changes seem good. Do we even need this extension on Wikisource? Also, if we keep it, I guess we need more reviewers rather than admins (more admins would be useful too, but that's a separate point). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 10:35, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::Of course, the request needs to be supported; without active administrators it is very inconvenient. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:21, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::What do you need us to do? BTW, it would be great to know why edits require administrator approvals. Sorry, but I‘m afraid this makes contributing almost pointless. Many thanks for your help, --[[Usor:Ousia|Ousia]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Ousia|disputatio]]) 14:15, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:::So there are two reasons it would be helpful for me to be an admin; one is if we carry on with the approval system (it looks like we will not) and the other is around updating or adding certain components, modules for example. There may be other tasks I am not aware of that I could help with, but these are the ones I know about. Implementing Portal pages for example needs some work by an admin AIUI.
:::@[[Usor:Ousia|Ousia]] your question re edits needing approval is [[#Do_we_need_to_approve_changes_to_pages|addressed below, here]].
:::In terms of what you / others need to do, it seems that if there is a consensus to allow me administrator permissions, then a bueaucrat user would implement it (I mistakenly opening a request at meta, and they referred me back here); so we just need to have your views, yes, no, maybe, etc. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 17:01, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

:::::Thanks, it seems editable now so I [[Vicifons:Magistratus#Petitio_magistratus|added my request there]], if anyone wants to support it. Regarding ''grapheocrates -ae'', how is this declined? Is it otherwise treated as a masculine first declension? Thinking it ought to be added to Wiktionary as it is missing from there.

It would require someone with interface admin status to create [[MediaWiki:Proofreadpage index data config.json]] to replace the current index form parameters ([[MediaWiki:Proofreadpage index attributes|very old system]]) with special care to not mass delete information by unadvertedly changing some parameter's name.

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

:::@[[Usor:Erblanchard57|Erblanchard57]] This wiki lacks proper guidelines and recommendations, I would prefer if you translated the template's name, e.g., [[Formula:spatium]] rather than [[Formula:spatio]] but given the international nature of the project (nobody's mother tongue is Latin) best practice should be to add translated names as shortcuts/redirects. Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]). I took a quick look and it seems the fonts used by the blackletter template are not installed on the wiki; the same template does not seem to work on the French Wikisource either.

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
:I lacked the rights to have it be toggled on and off through a gadget, we should ask interface administrators to do it, that should be the best way about it. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 22:45, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

::I consent to the proposal, though I am not sure about the translation 'Portus'. I think that 'Aditus' would better suit this usecase, since from portals users will be able to 'adire' the relevant pages. P.S. Out of curiosity I have checked the dictionary of A. Perugini, and he translates 'portale' as 'porta principalis. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 16:31, 20 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

:@[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] I think it would be best to take inspiration from [[:w:la]], at least for the vocabulary. This would:
:* provide a vocabulary and structure people may be well acquainted with already
:* facilitate our work, not having to find the proper terms for ourselves
:* have some sort of continuity between Latin projects

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, [[Usor:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:EPIC|disputatio]]) 22:22, 22 Februarii 2025 (UTC)
== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented.

:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.

::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:

::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:50, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]]. It seems to work very well and is extremely labour saving! [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 22:59, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:31, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::@[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] I think the Portal namespace and some modules need setting up which require admin permissions, I will dig a bit further and come back to you. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 20:01, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].
Thank you, - [[m:User:Danny_Benjafield_(WMDE)|Danny Benjafield (WMDE)]] on behalf of the Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects Team. [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 12:46, 14 Iulii 2025 (UTC)

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/FAQ|our FAQ]] – you will find many useful answers there. You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

:::So there are two reasons it would be helpful for me to be an admin; one is if we carry on with the approval system (it looks like we will not) and the other is around updating or adding certain components, modules for example.

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).
:Many thanks for your help and your project, --[[Usor:Ousia|Ousia]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Ousia|disputatio]]) 17:15, 4 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-09-24|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-09-24T15:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-09-24T15:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.

*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]). I took a quick look and it seems the fonts used by the blackletter template are not installed on the wiki; the same template does not seem to work on the French Wikisource either.

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, [[Usor:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:EPIC|disputatio]]) 22:22, 22 Februarii 2025 (UTC)
== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective. However I think it is useful tobe able to see and use the originals for some people, eg those practicing reading Renaissance scans etc; or researchers or academics looking to use source texts.

:::::@[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] I have made a very basic template for flexible character switching at [[Formula:Scr]]; this returns the first entry on the book page, and the second in main space, eg <nowiki>{{scr|qꝫ|que}}</nowiki> would work the same as <nowiki>{{que}}</nowiki>.
:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:
::::::# Installed the font Garamontio, as it has the qꝫ character, and all the possible ligatures
::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
:::::::@[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]], reading this I wanted to tell you that you could apply styles to a index page, but I see you have already figured it out. Kudos on your progress. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 09:56, 9 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
::::::::Thanks @[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]]; my list of scribal transformations has got quite long tho.

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.

''(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)''
Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.
You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]].

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works.

:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]].

== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins).

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.

You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

::::::I see... I had a quick look and all changes seem good. Do we even need this extension on Wikisource?

:::So there are two reasons it would be helpful for me to be an admin; one is if we carry on with the approval system (it looks like we will not) and the other is around updating or adding certain components, modules for example. There may be other tasks I am not aware of that I could help with, but these are the ones I know about. Implementing Portal pages for example needs some work by an admin AIUI.
:::@[[Usor:Ousia|Ousia]] your question re edits needing approval is [[#Do_we_need_to_approve_changes_to_pages|addressed below, here]].
:::In terms of what you / others need to do, it seems that if there is a consensus to allow me administrator permissions, then a bueaucrat user would implement it (I mistakenly opening a request at meta, and they referred me back here); so we just need to have your views, yes, no, maybe, etc. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 17:01, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-09-24|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-09-24T15:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-09-24T15:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
You can contribute to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=Centralnotice-tgroup-read_only_banner&task=view&language=&filter=&action=translate translation or proofreading] of this banner text.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-09-24|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

Hi there, @[[Usor:Laura1822|Laura1822]] is transcribing [[Liber:Missale Romanum 1862.djvu]], and needs the characters ℣ and ℟ , and ✠ to display for users, when these are in mainspace. We think it may be necessary to use a special / embedded font to do this, as I think was meant for <nowiki>{{blackletter}}</nowiki> ({{blackletter|exempli gratia}}; see [[Formula:Blackletter/styles.css]], although this does not seem to be calling a font at the moment). Does anyone have any advice about how we would add a webfont to LAWS's CSS, particularly for ℣ and ℟ ; or if there is a way to use an existing webfont with these characters that might be available to us?

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

For the blackletter, I've tried [[Formula:Gothica|Gothica]], but that doesn't seem to be rendering properly.
Thanks, [[Usor:Erblanchard57|Erblanchard57]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Erblanchard57|disputatio]]) 00:04, 14 Iunii 2026 (UTC)

::Hi! @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]], thanks! Just for clarification, do I need to make the template pages in Latin, or is it alright to copy them in English? Also, @[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]], I mentioned this above, but for some reason, the Gothica template isn't working for me. See [[Pagina:Polygamia Triumphatrix.pdf/15]], for example. Any idea why that might be the case? [[Usor:Erblanchard57|Erblanchard57]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Erblanchard57|disputatio]]) 16:16, 14 Iunii 2026 (UTC)
:::@[[Usor:Erblanchard57|Erblanchard57]] This wiki lacks proper guidelines and recommendations, I would prefer if you translated the template's name, e.g., [[Formula:spatium]] rather than [[Formula:spatio]] but given the international nature of the project (nobody's mother tongue is Latin) best practice should be to add translated names as shortcuts/redirects. Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]). I took a quick look and it seems the fonts used by the blackletter template are not installed on the wiki; the same template does not seem to work on the French Wikisource either.

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?
Gratias vobis ago pro consiliis vestris. [[Usor:Sakvaka|Sakvaka]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Sakvaka|disputatio]]) 09:16, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)
:Of course, this is acceptable; the texts there are of very different quality. Besides, transclusion slightly increases the chances that someone will find it for re-examination. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 20:40, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Metamorphoses (Apuleius)/Psyche et Cupido ==
[[Usor:Saumache]] paginam “[[Metamorphoses (Apuleius)/Psyche et Cupido]]” [[Specialis:Diff/86153/253177|ad deletionem celerem proposuit]], sed scriptum mihi videtur ex alia editione ortum esse atque ideo non esse delendum. Pittacium idcirco e pagina detraxi. --[[Usor:Grufo|Grufo]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Grufo|disputatio]]) 20:50, 9 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
:Nam eaedem quidem editiones sunt, quibusdam minusculis in maiusculas versis litteris formaque apostropharum solum differunt. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 21:08, 9 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
:I lacked the rights to have it be toggled on and off through a gadget, we should ask interface administrators to do it, that should be the best way about it. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 22:45, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

::I consent to the proposal, though I am not sure about the translation 'Portus'. I think that 'Aditus' would better suit this usecase, since from portals users will be able to 'adire' the relevant pages. P.S. Out of curiosity I have checked the dictionary of A. Perugini, and he translates 'portale' as 'porta principalis. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 16:31, 20 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective. However I think it is useful tobe able to see and use the originals for some people, eg those practicing reading Renaissance scans etc; or researchers or academics looking to use source texts.

:::::@[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] I have made a very basic template for flexible character switching at [[Formula:Scr]]; this returns the first entry on the book page, and the second in main space, eg <nowiki>{{scr|qꝫ|que}}</nowiki> would work the same as <nowiki>{{que}}</nowiki>.
:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:
::::::# Installed the font Garamontio, as it has the qꝫ character, and all the possible ligatures
::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
:::::::@[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]], reading this I wanted to tell you that you could apply styles to a index page, but I see you have already figured it out. Kudos on your progress. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 09:56, 9 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
::::::::Thanks @[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]]; my list of scribal transformations has got quite long tho. And I need to check on the possible logic of it, some needs to hide and unhide, rather than search and replace.

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision.

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Administrator backlog? ==
Hi there,
I am noticing a lot of pages that say that the current version is not checked; and versions I have amended are not (apparently) displayed because they need approval. Am I right in assuming this is due to a lack of (active) administrator time? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:53, 30 Maii 2025 (UTC)

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:50, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]].

== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:31, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/FAQ|our FAQ]] – you will find many useful answers there. You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

:::So there are two reasons it would be helpful for me to be an admin; one is if we carry on with the approval system (it looks like we will not) and the other is around updating or adding certain components, modules for example.

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

== Missal transcription: ℣ and ℟ , and ✠ ==
Hi there, @[[Usor:Laura1822|Laura1822]] is transcribing [[Liber:Missale Romanum 1862.djvu]], and needs the characters ℣ and ℟ , and ✠ to display for users, when these are in mainspace. We think it may be necessary to use a special / embedded font to do this, as I think was meant for <nowiki>{{blackletter}}</nowiki> ({{blackletter|exempli gratia}}; see [[Formula:Blackletter/styles.css]], although this does not seem to be calling a font at the moment). Does anyone have any advice about how we would add a webfont to LAWS's CSS, particularly for ℣ and ℟ ; or if there is a way to use an existing webfont with these characters that might be available to us? (Or if there is some other workable solution). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:58, 24 Octobris 2025 (UTC)

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]).

'''Legal & Safety Contacts'''
Hello community, the Wikimedia Foundation has provided a [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation Legal and Safety Contact Information|single legal and safety contact page]], to be linked in the footer of your wiki, to ensure access to accurate legal information. This is a regulatory requirement. We have already rolled out links to English, German, Italian, Spanish and other wikis and we will deploy to your wiki soon. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Legal_and_Safety_Contacts_FAQ|Please read more on the project page]] and leave any comments in this thread or on the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Legal and Safety Contacts FAQ|talk page]].

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?
Gratias vobis ago pro consiliis vestris. [[Usor:Sakvaka|Sakvaka]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Sakvaka|disputatio]]) 09:16, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)
:Of course, this is acceptable; the texts there are of very different quality. Besides, transclusion slightly increases the chances that someone will find it for re-examination. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 20:40, 25 Iulii 2026 (UTC)

<section begin="announcement-content" />
<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Metamorphoses (Apuleius)/Psyche et Cupido ==
[[Usor:Saumache]] paginam “[[Metamorphoses (Apuleius)/Psyche et Cupido]]” [[Specialis:Diff/86153/253177|ad deletionem celerem proposuit]], sed scriptum mihi videtur ex alia editione ortum esse atque ideo non esse delendum. Pittacium idcirco e pagina detraxi. --[[Usor:Grufo|Grufo]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Grufo|disputatio]]) 20:50, 9 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
:Nam eaedem quidem editiones sunt, quibusdam minusculis in maiusculas versis litteris formaque apostropharum solum differunt. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 21:08, 9 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
:I lacked the rights to have it be toggled on and off through a gadget, we should ask interface administrators to do it, that should be the best way about it. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 22:45, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)
== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

::I consent to the proposal, though I am not sure about the translation 'Portus'. I think that 'Aditus' would better suit this usecase, since from portals users will be able to 'adire' the relevant pages. P.S. Out of curiosity I have checked the dictionary of A. Perugini, and he translates 'portale' as 'porta principalis. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 16:31, 20 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

:@[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] I think it would be best to take inspiration from [[:w:la]], at least for the vocabulary. This would:
:* provide a vocabulary and structure people may be well acquainted with already
:* facilitate our work, not having to find the proper terms for ourselves
:* have some sort of continuity between Latin projects
:I had started doing this for documentation templates, as they where copied as is from [[:en:Wikisource]]. [[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Saumache|disputatio]]) 20:50, 20 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective. However I think it is useful tobe able to see and use the originals for some people, eg those practicing reading Renaissance scans etc; or researchers or academics looking to use source texts.

:::::@[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] I have made a very basic template for flexible character switching at [[Formula:Scr]]; this returns the first entry on the book page, and the second in main space, eg <nowiki>{{scr|qꝫ|que}}</nowiki> would work the same as <nowiki>{{que}}</nowiki>.
:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:
::::::# Installed the font Garamontio, as it has the qꝫ character, and all the possible ligatures
::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:50, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]]. It seems to work very well and is extremely labour saving! [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 22:59, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:31, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::@[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] I think the Portal namespace and some modules need setting up which require admin permissions, I will dig a bit further and come back to you. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 20:01, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/FAQ|our FAQ]] – you will find many useful answers there. You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

:::@[[Usor:Erblanchard57|Erblanchard57]] This wiki lacks proper guidelines and recommendations, I would prefer if you translated the template's name, e.g., [[Formula:spatium]] rather than [[Formula:spatio]] but given the international nature of the project (nobody's mother tongue is Latin) best practice should be to add translated names as shortcuts/redirects. Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]). I took a quick look and it seems the fonts used by the blackletter template are not installed on the wiki; the same template does not seem to work on the French Wikisource either.

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

::I consent to the proposal, though I am not sure about the translation 'Portus'. I think that 'Aditus' would better suit this usecase, since from portals users will be able to 'adire' the relevant pages. P.S. Out of curiosity I have checked the dictionary of A. Perugini, and he translates 'portale' as 'porta principalis. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 16:31, 20 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

:@[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] I think it would be best to take inspiration from [[:w:la]], at least for the vocabulary. This would:

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, [[Usor:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:EPIC|disputatio]]) 22:22, 22 Februarii 2025 (UTC)
== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective.

:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:

::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works.

:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]]. It seems to work very well and is extremely labour saving! [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 22:59, 1 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins). Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 09:31, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
To learn more about the project, check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/FAQ|our FAQ]] – you will find many useful answers there. You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).
:Many thanks for your help and your project, --[[Usor:Ousia|Ousia]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Ousia|disputatio]]) 17:15, 4 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-09-24|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-09-24T15:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-09-24T15:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.

*You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-09-24|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]).

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

::I consent to the proposal, though I am not sure about the translation 'Portus'.

== IMPORTANT: Admin activity review ==
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|stewards]] are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the [[:m:Admin activity review|admin activity review]].
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):
# [[User:Barbaking]] (bureaucrat, administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, [[Usor:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:EPIC|disputatio]]) 22:22, 22 Februarii 2025 (UTC)
== Request for updating the text of the Clementine Bible ==
Two months ago, at [[Disputatio:Vulgata Clementina#The Clementine Vulgate Project dead?]] I noted that the links related to ''The Clementine Vulgate Project'', the main source used for the text of the [[Vulgata Clementina]], were dead.
Fortunately, the list of changes made since the import of on Wikisource can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20240122025223/https://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/clemtext.rss here]. There is also [https://bitbucket.org/clementinetextproject/text/downloads/ a repository] (although I am not sure if it is up to date).
I have no experience in programming or making imports. So, could someone please update the text of [[Vulgata Clementina]] of Wikisource to use the latest version of ''The Clementine Vulgate Project''? [[Usor:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Veverve|disputatio]]) 10:01, 23 Februarii 2025 (UTC)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-03-19|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-03-19T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-03-19T14:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-03-19|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

== Toggling special characters such as ſ (long s) ==
On EN wikisource, they have a template <nowiki>{{longs}}</nowiki> to produce ''ſ'' on the transcription page, and by default, ''s'' on the ebook page. users on EN WS can toggle these on and off.
In this book, [[:la:Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']], there are a number of unusual characters that could do with toggling: ''ſ (s); ß (ss); ẽ (en / em) ũ (un / um) æ (ae) ę (ae) õ (on / om) ã (an / am) œ (oe)''. ([[:formula:ls]] already exists here for ſ, and some other characters semi-implemented at [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]] but the toggling is not switched on.)
In order to implement this:
(1) What would LA WiCategoria:Formulae litterarumkisource need to enable for user toggling of special characters?
(2) Who would I contact (assuming this is an admin task)? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 10:06, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
:It looks like it would need this installing, as a start: [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js|MediaWiki:Gadget-Visibility.js]] [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 11:13, 29 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|SZC 03}} in case you have an opinion (you made changes at the De Pricipia transcription project which we could implement better with this toggle feature). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 07:31, 30 Aprilis 2025 (UTC)
::I would like to point out that not all of the listed characters are of the same kind:
::* ſ is a variant of s;
::* ß, æ and œ are [[:w:en:Ligature (writing)|ligatures]] of ſs, ae and oe respectively ([[:w:en:E caudata|ę]] can represent both ae or oe);
::* ã, ẽ, õ, ũ are used to indicate [[:w:en:Scribal abbreviation|abbreviations]].
::Personally I think it would be somewhat useful to implement the toggle feature only for æ and œ, since of all the ligatures they are the only ones that carry some meaning (that ae or oe in that word is a diphthong) and the only ones that easily show up in search results and correctly displayed in web-browsers.
::Note that both English and Italian wikisources in their transcription guidelines take in consideration the ability of both modern readers and search engines to correctly interpret the character shown (see [[:en:Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Convenzioni di trascrizione]]). Though it would be useful to write rules specific to the Latin wikisource.
::I hope these considerations were of any help. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 07:58, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
::In regards to the [[Liber:Nicolaus Machiavellus De Principe.pdf|''De principe'']] it would be appropriate to encode the text in a way that we do not lose your work of accurately transcribing the above characters, while still showing to the end user a normalized form. My edit was trying to achieve this with the templates currently in wikisource.
::From a technical standpoint, it would be useful to have a general template not specific to any character that could be used both in ''ad hoc'' situations, and in creating other templates.
::Also if such a template is created for abbreviations it should behave differently from the long s and ligatures, since 1) the text displayed is context dependent, and 2) it is common use in diplomatic transcriptions to show the abbreviated characters in parentheses (so I were taught in paleography class).
::To give an example of point 2 from the text ([[Pagina:Nicolaus_Machiavellus_De_Principe.pdf/69|page 45]], line 11):
::Original text: Iãq́ꝫ
::Diplomatic transcription: Ia(m)q(ue)
::Standard transcription: Iamque
::I’m sorry for the lengthy comments. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 11:02, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I agree something adhoc would be helpful. The template would need to specify
:::* the text as-is and
:::* the modernised version
:::and hopefully there would be a system to pick up which to display.
:::In terms of the display: this could be the js system, perhaps adapted, that we have on en.ws, or possibly it could be an adjustment to the page templates set up, to allow two different books, or sets of pages, to be presented. This would have the advantage that exports would facilitate both (IDK but suspect that exports support the default rather than user choice). [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 15:48, 3 Maii 2025 (UTC)
:::I have set out this information in a [[Usor:JimKillock/Orthography|table]] including information about dictionary lookups and likely search engine issues. In short, from a user perspective, all the characters can be problematic, but æ and œ work within Alpheios for dictionary lookups, so are a bit more tolerable than the others from a default perspective. However I think it is useful tobe able to see and use the originals for some people, eg those practicing reading Renaissance scans etc; or researchers or academics looking to use source texts.

:::::@[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] I have made a very basic template for flexible character switching at [[Formula:Scr]]; this returns the first entry on the book page, and the second in main space, eg <nowiki>{{scr|qꝫ|que}}</nowiki> would work the same as <nowiki>{{que}}</nowiki>.
:::::However there is advice on ENWS not to use characters but use HTML entities for CSS reasons, so it is probably better for users to use specific templates. For example, I also created <nowiki>{{po}}</nowiki> which allows a user to decide what it might best represent, eg <nowiki>{{po|;}} or {{po|?}}</nowiki>.
:::::In general, using set templates like <nowiki>{{que}}, {{em}}, {{um}}, {{etc}}</nowiki> is much easier for proofing, so I think I will continue to add these where it seems useful. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:29, 24 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
::::::Hi folks, so that you know, I have made something of a workaround to be able to enable these features, which works well enough for me. I will perhaps add some guidance somewhere. What I have done:
::::::# Installed the font Garamontio, as it has the qꝫ character, and all the possible ligatures
::::::# Created custom css to apply Garamontio to Wikisource as a whole; at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.css]]; and
::::::# Created (vibecoded) custom javascript at [[Usor:JimKillock/common.js]]
::::::The second script looks for the various spans with the css style typographic-long-s, and replaces the characters as appropriate. This seems to work surprisingly well, Garamontio does all of the discretionary ligatures etc, and is a very well designed font (fork of EB Garamond, with some extra touches useful here). The issue is of course that this applies to the whole of Latin Wikisource all of the time. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 18:35, 25 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
:::::::@[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]], reading this I wanted to tell you that you could apply styles to a index page, but I see you have already figured it out. Kudos on your progress. [[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:SZC 03|disputatio]]) 09:56, 9 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
::::::::Thanks @[[Usor:SZC 03|SZC 03]]; my list of scribal transformations has got quite long tho.

== We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon! ==
''(Apologies for posting in English)''
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]].
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread.

''(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)''
Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.
You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]].

:''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2025/Announcement/Selection announcement|{{int:interlanguage-link-mul}}]] • [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-{{urlencode:Wikimedia Foundation elections/2025/Announcement/Selection announcement}}&language=&action=page&filter= {{int:please-translate}}]''
Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].
'''Call for Questions'''
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]
'''Election Volunteers'''
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== Mnemonics Book in Latin ==
Dear all,
Over the past month, with the help of others, I’ve been compiling a list of older and often overlooked books on mnemonic techniques available on [[:en:Portal:Mnemonics|Wikisource English]]. Many of these works—some dating back decades or even centuries—offer fascinating insights into how memory has been understood, trained, and improved across different cultures and time periods.
I've recently added a new section to the portal: "Multilingual Works on Mnemonic Techniques." This is in part because several of the English-language texts reference related works in other languages, particularly Latin.
Unfortunately, many of these referenced works are written in Classical Latin, and my ability to work with them is quite limited—I’ve done what I can, but they remain largely inaccessible to me.
If anyone has expertise in Classical Latin and might be willing to help with these texts, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Dear Wikimedia Community,
The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]] of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].
A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
=== Wikispore ===
The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
=== Wikinews ===
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>].
[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
=== Feedback and next steps ===
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Latin incunabula and other early books ==
Expanding a bit on what I mentioned above, re character toggling, and also working on the books [[Foenix]] and [[Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae]]
* the Transkribus Latin Incunabula scan does a great job on the heavy gothic style print
* I will see how it does with more Garamond-style texts, in case it works with these
* I have developed a fairly full set of templates for scribal characters, see [[:Categoria:Formulae litterarum]]
* I am thinking about using a bot to wholesale search and replace long s, and other scribal characters mapped there
Between these things, the work to transcribe and correct early printed Latin books should be very much reduced. If anyone feels like helping test this out, do give me shout. Meantime I will run tests on Congestorium Artificiosae Memoriae to check how well the bot system works.

:The folks at Wikisource helped create a JS solution for this, see [[Usor:JimKillock/incunabula.js]]. The script does a search and replace for what is needed, on the '''first save of a new book page'''; these are the settings for the Incunabula style section of [[Liber:Foenix. Domini Petri Ravennatis memoriae magistri - (Petrus) (IA hin-wel-all-00002799-001).pdf|this scan, p 52 onwards]] for [[Congestorium Artificiose Memorie]].

== Navigation and validation ==
Hi there,
I would like to do some work on navigation, to provide some "portal" pages similar to EN Wikisource. For example, this would help with learner texts a lot 9I often get asked how to find these texts, I point to the category pages, but these are very basic.
I would also like to know what we should do about page validation. Some really necessary changes are currently languishing in the backlog. This is an admin only task: should we asking for more administrators, or is this something existing admins here can take on? [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 14:08, 13 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|JimKillock}} good idea, don't hesitate to start and/or ask for help. That said, I'm not sure to see why this is an admin task (even if, yes, the underlying point is true, we need more admins).

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==
''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''
Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
* '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
* '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you! <section end="message"/>

== <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon</span> ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
<section begin="body"/>
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.
Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate.
'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''
Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect.
Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.
'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.
'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''
'''For logged-out editors'''
* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.
'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''
* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.
'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''
* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.
'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''
* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.

::::::I see... I had a quick look and all changes seem good. Do we even need this extension on Wikisource?

:::So there are two reasons it would be helpful for me to be an admin; one is if we carry on with the approval system (it looks like we will not) and the other is around updating or adding certain components, modules for example. There may be other tasks I am not aware of that I could help with, but these are the ones I know about. Implementing Portal pages for example needs some work by an admin AIUI.
:::@[[Usor:Ousia|Ousia]] your question re edits needing approval is [[#Do_we_need_to_approve_changes_to_pages|addressed below, here]].
:::In terms of what you / others need to do, it seems that if there is a consensus to allow me administrator permissions, then a bueaucrat user would implement it (I mistakenly opening a request at meta, and they referred me back here); so we just need to have your views, yes, no, maybe, etc. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 17:01, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)

== Do we need to approve changes to pages ==
Hi all,
Moving the discussion regarding the backlog at [[Specialis:PendingChanges]]: @[[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] asks whether we need to have this feature. I suspect it was switched on because of spam, vandalism, or some other similar issue. Without it we might need to be keeping an eye on recent changes. I am not sure how the proteccted changes permissions works, or whether permissions to make approvals to changes can be delegated more widely. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 19:56, 2 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:Changes to pages affecting project *function* must be controlled. But it seems that Pending Changes doesn't actually stop changes to something like a template/formula from having effect? See my report about <nowiki>Formula:Sidenotes begin</nowiki> above.
:And checking a couple of the other initial items in [[Specialis:PendingChanges]], it seems that all pending changes are actually immediately applied to active, visible pages.
:So Pending Changes <u>does not prevent damage</u> to the project. It is <u>merely a tracking and notification method?</u>
:That can be useful, but requires a set of people to be change reviewers. And changes to subject matter would seem to require reviewers knowledgeable about the subject?
:And when changes affect *function*, like templates, who can review and approve those? I'd think only admins.
:The link to monitoring Recent Changes is undeniable. I monitor Recent Changes often at Spanish Wikisource because I've seen the random damage people can do. That is the only way to react quickly to damage. (?) But then that assumes people are checking lists frequently, at least daily.
:Neither Pending Changes or monitoring Recent Changes prevent damage. They can be only part of a solution to damage. I don't know what to think about Pending Changes ''in isolation''. [[Usor:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Shenme|disputatio]]) 03:48, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} I've got mainly two points :
::* vandlism is low to inexistant on la.ws (and it's already low on most Wikisources), making this extension useless and even problematic. Because it doesn't prevent changes but it prevents them to be effective.
::** Apparently the reason to install is [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_VII#protection_of_completed_works_-_Flagged_Revisions_as_an_alternative?]]
::* this extension is actually caleld [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs]] and it's deprecated for years (see [[Vicifons:Scriptorium/Vetera_XI#Futrue_of_FlaggedRevs_(Pending_Changes)_extension]] or the warning on the extension itself « Flagged Revisions is complex, poorly documented, very clunky, and not recommended for production use »). Also, people on Wikisource don't seem to really master or even using it (including the reviewers rights). Maybe it's aan opportunity to list exactly what we need and find a new extension that fit these needs.
::In the end, I see a lot of cons and only a few pros...
::Cheers, [[Usor:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:VIGNERON|disputatio]]) 07:35, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:I haven't seen any vandalism here in years. But if you fix the errors, the "Pending Changes" status means that the fixes will only be visible to registered users. [[Usor:Demetrius Talpa|Demetrius Talpa]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Demetrius Talpa|disputatio]]) 12:10, 3 Septembris 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|JimKillock|Shenme}} many thanks for your replies. I must admit that I’m an occasional Wikisource (or even Wikipedia contributor). I essentially (or exclusively) contribute corrections.
:Some days ago, I wanted to download an ePub file for the [[Noctes Atticae]] (to do some regexp searches), but the export was wrong. I tried to modify the code (which I have done successfully for the Greek Wikisource many times) and I found out that I needed a ''nihil obstat'' (I’m afraid this would be way to name it).
:Of course, I’m the least interested in vandalism (either contributing it myself, or being any collaborative project being infested/polluted by it). But I think there should be a way of distinguishing between vandalism and non-hardcore (or occasional) contributors.
:I don’t know any perfect system, but it should be worth considering a mixed approach. Approval could be required for: already flagged users (for vandalism) and recent users (how about a five-year publishing embargo?).
:Only to mention a case, my [https://el.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Συμπόσιον_(Πλάτων)&diff=prev&oldid=49677 first contribution to the Greek Wiksource] was in 2012. I don’t know for how long I have been registered in Wikimedia (I guess this was before 2010).
:This isn’t about myself, the issue here is that Wikisource needs contributions to even exist (not to mention for its growth). If no regular user is allowed to contribute without approval, cooperation is basically non-existing.
:Even with approval, the reply times are incredibly slow (because of the system). It is not that attention spans are getting shorter, time is the most scarce resource we all are (and I don’t have weeks or months to see whether I’m allowed to have [[Noctes Atticae]] as ePub).
:Sorry, the sentence in parentheses isn’t a complaint. Please, do as you please, but my contribution is: consider that you might be making contributions way harder, project growth way slower and administrators’ roles way more complicated (probably, than they could and should be).

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2025-09-24|en}}'''. The switch will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2025-09-24T15:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2025-09-24T15:00}}]'''.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
You can contribute to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=Centralnotice-tgroup-read_only_banner&task=view&language=&filter=&action=translate translation or proofreading] of this banner text.
'''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 {{#time:l j xg Y|2025-09-24|en}}.
*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.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

Does anyone have any advice about how we would add a webfont to LAWS's CSS, particularly for ℣ and ℟ ; or if there is a way to use an existing webfont with these characters that might be available to us?

== Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) ==
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).
'''The Change:'''<br />
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''.
'''What You Need To Do:'''<br />
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
'''Deadline:'''<br />
We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! [[User:ZI Jony|ZI Jony]] using [[Usor:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:MediaWiki message delivery|disputatio]]) 17:11, 3 Aprilis 2026 (UTC)

::Hi! @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]], thanks! Just for clarification, do I need to make the template pages in Latin, or is it alright to copy them in English? Also, @[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]], I mentioned this above, but for some reason, the Gothica template isn't working for me. See [[Pagina:Polygamia Triumphatrix.pdf/15]], for example.

:::@[[Usor:Erblanchard57|Erblanchard57]] This wiki lacks proper guidelines and recommendations, I would prefer if you translated the template's name, e.g., [[Formula:spatium]] rather than [[Formula:spatio]] but given the international nature of the project (nobody's mother tongue is Latin) best practice should be to add translated names as shortcuts/redirects. Beware adding templates that are already on the wiki under a different name ([[Formula:grc]] was already at [[Formula:Graeca]]). I took a quick look and it seems the fonts used by the blackletter template are not installed on the wiki; the same template does not seem to work on the French Wikisource either.

== De transclusione libri nondum bis perlecti ==
Salvete omnes, I finished the first proofreading pass of Michael Praetorius's [[Liber:PRAETORIUS,_Michael_-_Syntagma_musicum_1.djvu|''Syntagma musicum'' (volume 1)]]. Every page now has the "Proofread" status, except that a few are also "Validated". I expect it will take quite a while before the whole book gets that second read, if it ever will.
My question: is it already acceptable to transclude the text into the main namespace at this stage, even though most pages are only single-proofread rather than validated? Or is there a convention on this Wikisource that a work should be fully validated before merging onto the mainspace?

<em>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Parsoid Read Views/Read View Announcement|Read this in another language]]</em>
Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.
If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation.
There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.
To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]].

== Formula:Littera s longa: on or off by default ==
Hi @[[Usor:Saumache|Saumache]] and others, I noticed that [[:Formula:Littera s longa]] has been changed so that <nowiki>{{s}}</nowiki> produces ſ rather than s by default. This is in contrast to for example English Wikipedia which allows it as a user option, but assumes it is "s" by default.
For other formulae, eg {{um}}, {{us}}, {{que}}, etc these are "off" by default. Likewise {{ae}}, {{oe}} I believe are off by default currently.
There various ways that this can work, for example:
* we could provide a user switch for either state per symbol, etc (with JS, as per EN.WS)
* we can provide advice about applying fonts, etc, that can set ſ, ae/oe ligatures, etc, through css preferences
* CSS can specify some of this per book (not all ligatures, eg {{que}} can be applied through CSS, and it depends on installed fonts in some cases)
* we ''might'' be able to apply a default javascript switch behaviour per book rather than sitewide
I don't have a massive preference for s over ſ, or ae / oe over or æ / œ ; but we should I think at least allow users to easily switch, especially re ſ if it is the default.
Just throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the general feeling / preference would be. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 16:40, 16 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

== Portal pages ==
Hi all,
I'd like to suggest we create a few "Portal" pages for some key topics, so we can detail what is good and why rather than just provide category pages. There's a need for a page for introductory Latin, for example, which could explain levels of suitability of texts. See also [[#Navigation and validation]] above
To do this, we need community consensus to add a namespace, and then, it is done through a request at Phabricator. The namespace would define what this group of pages were called eg [[Portus:Index]] and also the name of the "Disputatio" (discussion) pages.
Please let me know if you agree with this proposal or not, so we can demonstrate consensus for the change to be made. [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 06:50, 19 Augusti 2026 (UTC)

::I consent to the proposal, though I am not sure about the translation 'Portus'.

Iis igitur respondebo <non>chrusea chalkeion (sic enim postulas) nec oikonomian meam instituam, sed ordinem conservabo tuum. recentissimas a Cybistris te meas litteras habere ais a. d. xi Kalendas Octobris datas et scire vis tuas ego quas acceperim. omnis fere quas commemoras, praeter eas quas scribis Lentuli pueris et Equotutico et Brundisio datas. qua re non oichetai tua industria quod vereris sed praeclare ponitur, si quidem id egisti ut ego delectarer. nam nulla re sum delectatus magis.
{{pn|1.2|2}}quod meam bathuteta in Appio tibi, liberalitatem etiam in Bruto probo, vehementer gaudeo; ac putaram paulo secus. Appius enim ad me ex itinere bis terve hupomempsimoirous litteras miserat quod quaedam a se constituta rescinderem. Vt si medicus, cum aegrotus alii medico traditus sit, irasci velit ei medico qui sibi successerit si quae ipse in curando constituerit mutet ille, sic Appius, cum ex aphaireseos provinciam curarit, sanguinem miserit, quicquid potuit detraxerit, mihi tradiderit enectam, prosanatrephomenen eam a me non libenter videt sed modo suscenset, modo gratias agit. nihil enim a me fit cum ulla illius contumelia; tantum modo dissimilitudo meae rationis offendit hominem. quid enim potest esse tam dissimile quam illo imperante exhaustam esse sumptibus et iacturis provinciam, nobis eam obtinentibus nummum nullum esse erogatum nec privatim nec publice? quid dicam de illius praefectis, comitibus, legatis etiam? de rapinis, de libidinibus, de contumeliis? nunc autem domus me hercule nulla tanto consilio aut tanta disciplina gubernatur aut tam modesta est quam nostra tota provincia. haec non nulli amici Appi ridicule interpretantur qui me idcirco putent bene audire velle ut ille male audiat, et recte facere non meae laudis sed illius contumeliae causa. sin Appius, ut Bruti litterae quas ad te misit significabant, gratias nobis agit non moleste fero, sed tamen eo ipso die quo haec ante lucem scribebam, cogitabam eius multa inique constituta et acta tollere.
{{pn|1.3|3}}nunc venio ad Brutum quem ego omni studio te auctore sum complexus, quem etiam amare coeperam; sed ilico me revocavi, ne te offenderem. noli enim putare me quicquam maluisse quam ut mandatis satis facerem nec ulla de re plus laborasse. mandatorum autem mihi libellum dedit, isdemque de rebus tu mecum egeras. omnia sum diligentissime persecutus. primum ab Ariobarzane sic contendi ut talenta quae mihi pollicebatur illi daret. quoad mecum rex fuit, perbono loco res erat; post a Pompei procuratoribus sescentis premi coeptus est. Pompeius autem quom ob ceteras causas plus potest unus quam ceteri omnes, tum quod putatur ad bellum Parthicum esse venturus. ei tamen sic nunc solvitur, tricesimo quoque die talenta Attica xxxiii et hoc ex tributis. nec inde satis efficitur in usuram menstruam. sed Gnaeus noster clementer id fert; sorte caret, usura nec ea solida contentus est. Alii neque solvit cuiquam nec potest solvere; nullum enim aerarium, nullum vectigal habet. Appi instituto tributa imperat. ea vix in faenus Pompei quod satis sit efficiunt. amici regis duo tresve perdivites sunt sed ii suum tam diligenter tenent quam ego aut tu. equidem non desino tamen per litteras rogare, suadere, accusare regem.
{{pn|1.4|4}}Deiotarus etiam mihi narravit se ad eum legatos misisse de re Bruti; eos sibi responsum rettulisse illum non habere. et me hercule ego ita iudico, nihil illo regno spoliatius, nihil rege egentius. itaque aut tutela cogito me abdicare aut ut pro Glabrione Scaevola faenus et impendium recusare. ego tamen quas per te Bruto promiseram praefecturas, M. Scaptio, L. Gavio, qui in regno rem Bruti procurabant, detuli; nec enim in provincia mea negotiabantur. tu autem meministi nos sic agere ut quot vellet praefecturas sumeret, dum ne negotiatori. itaque duas ei praeterea dederam. sed ii quibus petierat de provincia decesserant.
{{pn|1.5|5}}nunc cognosce de Salaminiis, quod video tibi etiam novum accidisse tamquam mihi. numquam enim ex illo audivi illam pecuniam esse suam; quin etiam libellum ipsius habeo, in quo est, 'Salaminii pecuniam debent M. Scaptio et P. Matinio, familiaribus meis.' Eos mihi commendat; adscribit etiam et quasi calcar admovet intercessisse se pro iis magnam pecuniam. confeceram ut solverent centesimis bienni ductis cum renovatione singulorum annorum. at Scaptius quaternas postulabat. metui, si impetrasset, ne tu ipse me amare desineres; nam ab edicto meo recessissem et civitatem in Catonis et in ipsius Bruti fide locatam meisque beneficiis ornatam funditus perdidissem.
{{pn|1.6|6}}atque hoc tempore ipso impingit mihi epistulam Scaptius Bruti rem illam suo periculo esse, quod nec mihi umquam Brutus dixerat nec tibi, etiam ut praefecturam Scaptio deferrem. id vero per te exceperamus <ne> negotiatori; quod si cuiquam, huic tamen non. fuerat enim praefectus Appio et quidem habuerat turmas equitum quibus inclusum in curia senatum Salamine obsederat, ut fame senatores quinque morerentur. itaque ego, quo die tetigi provinciam, cum mihi Cyprii legati Ephesum obviam venissent, litteras misi ut equites ex insula statim decederent. his de causis credo Scaptium iniquius de me aliquid ad Brutum scripsisse. sed tamen hoc sum animo. si Brutus putabit me quaternas centesimas oportuisse decernere, cum tota provincia singulas observarem itaque edixissem idque etiam acerbissimis faeneratoribus probaretur, si praefecturam negotiatori denegatam queretur, quod ego Torquato nostro in tuo Laenio, Pompeio ipsi in Sex.

{{pn|2.1|1}}Cum Philogenes libertus tuus Laodiceam ad me salutandi causa venisset et se statim ad te navigaturum esse diceret, has ei litteras dedi quibus ad eas rescripsi quas acceperam a Bruti tabellario. et respondebo primum postremae tuae paginae quae mihi magnae molestiae fuit quod ad te scriptum est a Cincio de Stati sermone; in quo hoc molestissimum est, Statium dicere a me quoque id consilium probari. <probari> autem? de isto hactenus dixerim, me vel plurima vincla tecum summae coniunctionis optare, etsi sunt amoris artissima; tantum abest ut ego ex eo quo astricti sumus laxari aliquid velim.
{{pn|2.2|2}}illum autem multa de istis rebus asperius solete loqui saepe sum expertus, saepe etiam lenivi iratum. id scire te arbitror. in hac autem peregrinatione militiave nostra saepe incensum ira vidi, saepe placatum. quid ad Statium scripserit nescio. quicquid acturus de tali re fuit, scribendum tamen ad libertum non fuit. mihi autem erit maximae curae ne quid fiat secus quam volumus quamque oportet. nec satis est in eius modi re se quemque praestare ac maximae partes istius offici sunt pueri Ciceronis sive iam adulescentis; quod quidem illum soleo hortari. ac mihi videtur matrem valde, ut debet, amare teque mirifice. sed est magnum illud quidem verum tamen multiplex pueri ingenium; quo ego regendo habeo negoti satis.
{{pn|2.3|3}}quoniam respondi postremae tuae paginae prima mea, nunc ad primam revertar tuam. Peloponnesias civitates omnis maritimas esse hominis non nequam sed etiam tuo iudicio probati Dicaearchi tabulis credidi. is multis nominibus in Trophoniana Chaeronis narratione Graecos in eo reprendit quod mare tantum secuti sint nec ullum in Peloponneso locum excipit. quom mihi auctor placeret (etenim erat historikotatos et vixerat in Peloponneso), admirabar tamen et vix adcredens communicavi cum Dionysio. atque is primo est commotus, deinde, quod de [deo cum] isto Dicaearcho non minus bene existimabat quam tu de C. Vestorio, ego de M. Cluvio, non dubitabat quin ei crederemus. Arcadiae censebat esse Lepreon quoddam maritimum; Tenea autem et Aliphera et Tritia neoktista ei videbantur, idque toi ton neon katalogoi confirmabat ubi mentio non fit istorum. itaque istum ego locum totidem verbis a Dicaearcho transtuli. 'Phliasios' autem dici sciebam et ita fac ut habeas; nos quidem sic habemus. sed primo me analogia deceperat, Phlious, Opous, Sipous, quod Opountioi, Sipountioi. sed hoc continuo correximus.
{{pn|2.4|4}}laetari te nostra moderatione et continentia video. tum id magis faceres, si adesses. atque hoc foro quod egi ex Idibus Februarus Laodiceae ad Kal. Maias omnium dioecesium praeter Ciliciae mirabilia quaedam effecimus. ita multae civitates omni aere alieno liberatae, multae valde levatae sunt, omnes suis legibus et iudiciis usae autonomian adeptae revixerunt. his ego duobus generibus facultatem ad se aere alieno liberandas aut levandas dedi, uno quod omnino nullus in imperio meo sumptus factus est (nullum cum dico non loquor huperbolikos), nullus inquam, ne terruncius quidem.
{{pn|2.5|5}}hac autem re incredibile est quantum civitates emerserint. accessit altera. mira erant in civitatibus ipsorum furta Graecorum quae magistratus sui fecerant. quaesivi ipse de iis qui annis decem proximis magistratum gesserant. aperte fatebantur. itaque sine ulla ignominia suis umeris pecunias populis rettulerunt. populi autem nullo gemitu publicanis quibus hoc ipso lustro nihil solverant etiam superioris lustri <reliqua> reddiderunt. itaque publicanis in oculis sumus. 'gratis' inquis viris. sensimus. iam cetera iuris dictio nec imperita et clemens cum admirabili facilitate; aditus autem ad me minime provinciales; nihil per cubicularium; ante lucem inambulabam domi ut olim candidatus. grata haec et magna mihique nondum laboriosa ex illa vetere militia.
{{pn|2.6|6}}Nonis Maiis in Ciliciam cogitabam. ibi cum Iunium mensem consumpsissem (atque utinam in pace! magnum enim bellum impendet a Parthis), Quintilem in reditu ponere. annuae enim mihi operae a. d. iii Kal. Sextil. emerentur. Magna autem in spe sum mihi nihil temporis prorogatum iri. habebam acta urbana usque ad Nonas Martias; e quibus intellegebam Curionis nostri constantia omnia potius actum iri quam de provinciis. ergo, ut spero, prope diem te videbo.
{{pn|2.7|7}}venio ad Brutum tuum, immo nostrum, sic enim mavis. equidem omnia feci quae potui aut in mea provincia perficere aut in regno experiri. omni igitur modo egi cum rege et ago cotidie per litteras scilicet. ipsum enim triduum quadriduumve mecum habui turbulentis in rebus quibus eum liberavi. sed et tum praesens et postea creberrimis litteris non destiti rogare et petere mea causa; suadere et hortari sua. multum profeci sed quantum non plane, quia longe absum, scio. Salaminios autem (hos enim poteram coercere) adduxi ut totum nomen Scaptio vellent solvere sed centesimis ductis a proxima quidem syngrapha nec perpetuis sed renovatis quotannis. numerabantur nummi; noluit Scaptius. tu qui ais Brutum cupere aliquid perdere? Quaternas habebat in syngrapha. fieri non poterat nec, si posset, ego pati possem. audio omnino Scaptium paenitere. nam quod senatus consultum esse dicebat ut ius ex syngrapha diceretur, eo consilio factum est quod pecuniam Salaminii contra legem Gabiniam sumpserant. vetabat autem Auli lex ius dici de ita sumpta pecunia. decrevit igitur senatus ut ius diceretur ex ista syngrapha. nunc ista habet iuris idem quod ceterae, nihil praecipui.
{{pn|2.8|8}}haec a me ordine facta puto me Bruto probaturum, tibi nescio, Catoni certe probabo. sed iam ad te ipsum revertor. ain tandem, Attice, laudator integritatis et elegantiae nostrae, ausus es hoc ex ore tuo— — inquit Ennius, ut equites Scaptio ad pecuniam cogendam darem me rogare? an tu si mecum esses qui scribis morderi te interdum quod non simul sis, paterere me id facere si vellem? 'non amplius' inquis 'quinquaginta.' Cum Spartaco minus multi primo fuerunt. quid tandem isti mali in tam tenera insula non fecissent? non fecissent autem? immo quid ante adventum meum non fecerunt? inclusum in curia senatum habuerunt Salaminium ita multos dies ut interierint non nulli fame. erat enim praefactus Appi Scaptius et habebat turmas ab Appio. id me igitur tu cuius me hercule os mihi ante oculos solet versari cum de aliquo officio ac laude cogito, tu me inquam rogas praefectus ut Scaptius sit? Alias hoc statueramus ut negotiatorem neminem idque Bruto probaramus. habeat is turmas? cur potius quam cohortis? sumptu iam nepos evadit Scaptius.
{{pn|2.9|9}}'volunt' inquit 'principes.' scio; nam ad me Ephesum usque venerunt flentesque equitum scelera et miserias suas detulerunt. itaque statim dedi litteras ut ex Cypro equites ante certam diem decederent, ob eamque causam tum ob ceteras Salaminii nos in caelum decretis suis sustulerunt. sed iam quid opus equitatu? solvunt enim Salaminii; nisi forte id volumus armis efficere ut faenus quaternis centesimis ducant. et ego audebo legere umquam aut attingere eos libros quos tu dilaudas, si tale quid fecero? nimis inquam in isto Brutum amasti, dulcissime Attice, nos vereor ne parum. atque haec scripsi ego ad Brutum scripsisse te ad me.
{{pn|2.10|10}}cognosce nunc cetera. pro Appio nos hic omnia facimus honeste tamen sed plane libenter. nec enim ipsum odimus et Brutum amamus et Pompeius mirifice a me contendit quem me hercule plus plusque in dies diligo. C. Coelium quaestorem huc venire audisti. nescio quid sit hominis. sed Pammenia illa mihi non placent. ego me spero Athenis fore mense Septembri. tuorum itinerum tempora scire sane velim. euetheian Semproni Rufi cognovi ex epistula tua Corcyraea. quid quaeris? invideo potentiae Vestori. cupiebam etiam nunc plura garrire sed lucet; urget turba, festinat Philogenes. valebis igitur et valere Piliam et Caeciliam nostram iubebis litteris et salvebis a meo Cicerone.

{{pn|3.1|1}}Etsi nil sane habebam novi quod post accidisset quam dedissem ad te Philogeni liberto tuo litteras, tamen cum Philotimum Romam remitterem, scribendum aliquid ad te fuit. ac primum illud quod me maxime angebat—non quo me aliquid iuvare posses; quippe; res enim est in manibus, tu autem abes longe gentium; polla d' en metaichmioi notos kulindei kumat' eureies halos.— obrepit dies, ut vides (mihi enim a. d. iii Kal. Sextil. de provincia decedendum est), nec succeditur. quem relinquam qui provinciae praesit? ratio quidem et opinio hominum postulat fratrem, primum quod videtur esse honos, nemo igitur potior; deinde quod solum habeo praetorium. Pomptinus enim ex pacto et convento (nam ea lege exierat) iam a me discesserat; quaestorem nemo dignum putat; etenim est 'levis, libidinosus, tagax.'
{{pn|3.2|2}}de fratre autem primum illud est: persuaderi ei non posse arbitror; odit enim provinciam, et hercule nihil odiosius, nihil molestius. deinde ut mihi nolit negare, quidnam mei sit offici? cum bellum esse in Syria magnum putetur, id videatur in hanc provinciam erupturum, hic praesidi nihil sit, sumptus annuus decretus sit, videaturne aut pietatis esse meae fratrem relinquere aut diligentiae nugarum aliquid relinquere? Magna igitur, ut vides, sollicitudine adficior, magna inopia consili. quid quaeris? toto negotio nobis opus non fuit. quanto tua provincia melior! decedes cum voles, nisi forte iam decessisti; quem videbitur praeficies Thesprotiae et Chaoniae. necdum tamen ego Quintum conveneram, ut iam, si id placeret, scirem possetne ab eo impetrari; nec tamen, si posset, quid vellem habebam.
{{pn|3.3|3}}hoc est igitur eius modi. reliqua plena adhuc et laudis et gratiae, digna iis libris quos dilaudas, conservatae civitates, cumulate publicanis satis factum, offensus contumelia nemo, decreto iusto et severo perpauci nec tamen quisquam ut queri audeat, res gestae dignae triumpho; de quo ipso nihil cupide agemus, sine tuo quidem consilio certe nihil. clausula est difficilis in tradenda provincia. sed haec deus aliquis gubernabit.
{{pn|3.4|4}}de urbanis rebus scilicet plura tu scis; saepius et certiora audis; equidem doleo non me tuis litteris certiorem fieri. huc enim odiosa adferebantur de Curione, de Paulo; non quo ullum periculum videam stante Pompeio vel etiam sedente, valeat modo; sed me hercule Curionis et Pauli meorum familiarium vicem doleo. formam igitur mihi totius rei publicae, si iam es Romae aut cum eris, velim mittas quae mihi obviam veniat ex qua me fingere possim et praemeditari quo animo accedam ad urbem. est enim quiddam advenientem non esse peregrinum atque hospitem.
{{pn|3.5|5}}et quod paene praeterii, Bruti tui causa, ut saepe ad te scripsi, feci omnia. Cyprii numerabant; sed Scaptius centesimis renovato in singulos annos faenore contentus non fuit. Ariobarzanes non in Pompeium prolixior per ipsum quam per me in Brutum. quem tamen ego praestare non poteram; erat enim rex perpauper aberamque ab eo ita longe ut nihil possem nisi litteris; quibus pugnare non destiti. summa haec est. pro ratione pecuniae liber alius est Brutus tractatus quam Pompeius. Bruto curata hoc anno talenta circiter c, Pompeio in sex mensibus promissa cc. iam in Appi negotio quantum tribuerim Bruto dici vix potest. quid est igitur quod laborem? amicos habet meras nugas, Matinium, Scaptium. qui quia non habuit a me turmas equitum quibus Cyprum vexaret, ut ante me fecerat, fortasse suscenset, aut quia praefectus non est, quod ego nemini tribui negotiatori, non C. Vennonio meo familiari, non tuo M. Laenio, et quod tibi Romae ostenderam me servaturum; in quo perseveravi. sed quid poterit queri is qui auferre pecuniam cum posset noluit? [aut Scaptius] qui in Cappadocia fuit, puto esse satis factum. is a me tribunatum cum accepisset quem ego ex Bruti litteris ei detulissem, postea scripsit ad me se uti nolle eo tribunatu.
{{pn|3.6|6}}Gavius est quidam cui cum praefecturam detulissem Bruti rogatu multa et dixit et fecit cum quadam mea contumelia, P. Clodi canis. is me nec proficiscentem Apameam prosecutus est nec, cum postea in castra venisset atque inde discederet, num quid vellem rogavit et fuit aperte mihi nescio qua re non amicus. hunc ego si in praefectis habuissem, quem tu me hominem putares? qui, ut scis, potentissimorum hominum contumaciam numquam tulerim, ferrem huius adseculae? etsi hoc plus est quam ferre, tribuere etiam aliquid benefici et honoris. is igitur Gavius, cum Apameae me nuper vidisset Romam proficiscens, me ita appellavit <ut&t; Culleolum vix auderem, 'Vnde' inquit me iubes petere cibaria praefecti?' respondi lenius quam putabant oportuisse qui aderant me non instituisse iis dare cibaria quorum opera non essem usus. abiit iratus.
{{pn|3.7|7}}huius nebulonis oratione si Brutus moveri potest, licebit eum solus ames, me aemulum non habebis. sed illum eum futurum esse puto qui esse debet. tibi tamen causam notam esse volui et ad ipsum haec perscripsi diligentissime. omnino (soli enim sumus) nullas umquam ad me litteras misit Brutus, ne proxime quidem de Appio, in quibus non inesset adrogans, akoinonoeton aliquid. tibi autem valde solet in ore esse Granius autem non contemnere se et reges odisse superbos. in quo tamen ille mihi risum magis quam stomachum movere solet. sed plane parum cogitat quid scribat aut ad quem.
{{pn|3.8|8}}Q. Cicero puer legit, ut opinor, et certe, epistulam inscriptam patri suo. solet enim aperire idque de meo consilio, si quid forte sit quod opus sit sciri. in ea autem epistula erat idem illud de sorore quod ad me. mirifice conturbatum vidi puerum. lacrimans mecum est questus. quid quaeris? miram in eo pietatem suavitatem humanitatemque perspexi. quo maiorem spem habeo nihil fore aliter ac deceat. id te igitur scire volui.

==Observationes praeviae.==
133.0979A| Plures Wilfridum, eo nomine primum Eboracensem episcopum, scriptis suis celebravere auctores. In primis Beda Venerabilis res ab eo gestas describit in variis Historiae suae locis, maxime in lib. III, cap. 25, et lib. V, cap. 20. Bedae aequalis accedit Eddi seu Heddius, cognomento Stephanus, qui librum de Vita sancti Wilfridi composuisse fertur apud Joannem Pitseum aliosque recentiores. « Is fuit invitatus de Cantia a reverendissimo viro Wilfrido, ut primus post Jacobum cantandi magister Nortanhumbrorum Ecclesiis esset, » teste Beda in Historiae lib. IV, cap. 2; qua ex consuetudine Wilfridi gesta certo rescire potuit. Post Heddium occurrit Fridegodus, cui Odo Cantuariensis episcopus Vitam ejusdem sancti heroico metro texere praecepit. Legerat Willelmus Malmesburiae monachus eam Fridegodi scriptionem, de qua hoc profert judicium in lib. I de Pontificibus Cantuariensibus: « Exsecutus est id munus Fridegodus quidam versibus non improbandis: 133.0979B| nisi quod latinitatem perosus, graecitatem amat, Graecula verba frequentat, ut merito dictis ejus aptetur illud Plautinum:
Haec quidem praeter Sybillam leget nemo. Huic lucubrationi manum admovit Fridegodus statim post Wilfridi reliquiarum translationem in Ecclesiam Cantuariensem. Ipse etiam Odo, qui Ecclesiae Cantuariensi praefuit ab anno 834 in annos quatuor et viginti, Wilfridi gesta descripsisse perhibetur ab Eadmero. Eadmerus vero seu Edmerus monachus, Anselmo Cantuariensi pontifici a secretis, id postea praestitit anno 1121. Sic enim praefixa habet inscriptio codicis manu exarati bibliothecae Cottonianae: Vita sancti Wilfridi archiepiscopi per Eadmerum Cantuariensem anno MCXXI. Res ab se descriptas in exordio et in fine approbat « auctoritate venerabilium virorum Odonis archiepiscopi et Bedae 133.0980A| presbyteri » , nulla Heddii aut Fridegodi mentione facta, tametsi Fridegodi ipsissima verba non raro usurpat. Unde suspicio injicitur num Fridegodi fetum Odoni, qui hortator operis fuit, supponat. Sed tamen ex prologo ipsius Odonis, quem Eadmerus in fine Vitae ab se compositae citat, aliam Odonis a Fridegodi lucubratione fuisse conjectura est. Eadmeri fragmentum de translatione corporis sancti Wilfridi recitat Gervasius Dorobernensis monachus in libro De combustione et reparatione Dorobernensis ecclesiae; quod fragmentum ex alio Eadmeri opere desumptum est. Eadmeri aequalis fuit Willelmus Malmesburiae monachus, qui itidem facta sancti Wilfridi recantavit in libro secundo de Pontificibus Anglorum, ubi de episcopis Eboracensibus. Post eos omnes Petrus Blesensis, archidiaconus Bathoniensis, librum de Vita sancti Wilfridi composuit, eumque Galfrido Eboracensi archiepiscopo dedicavit, uti legitur in Monastico anglicano, pag. 172, ubi fragmentum 133.0980B| ex eodem Petro adducitur. His omnibus annumerandi sunt Anglorum scriptores, in his Thomas Stubbesius in libro de Episcopis Eboracensibus, quorum catalogus vetustus exstat apud Labbeum in tomo I Bibliothecae novae, pag. 322. Ex praedictis auctoribus obvii quibusque sunt Beda et Willelmus.

Wilfridi diem natalem exprimunt tum Martyrologia recentiora, tum vulgata Bedae historia IV Idus Octobris; tametsi haec verba intrusa sunt in textum Bedae, quae apud Abrahamum Whelocum intra parenthesim conclusa, desunt in exemplari nostro Germanensi, uti et in Aluredi versione Saxonica. Dies certe praedictus est translationis, quo teste Eadmero corpus sancti Wilfridi decentiori loco repositus a Lanfranco est. At quo tandem die vir sanctus ad superos migravit, silent Vitae scriptores omnes, unus inter vetustos fastorum sacrorum conditores designat diem VIII Kal. Maii, is nempe qui 133.0981A| nomine Bedae vulgatus est metrici Martyrologii auctor in tomo X Spicilegii, his versibus:
<poem>
Egbertus, digna virtutum laude coruscus,
Astrigerum octavis veneranter scandit olympum,
Quoque die praesul penetravit Wilfridus alma,
Angelico vectus coetu trans sidera coeli.
</poem>
Celebrior tamen videtur fuisse solemnitas translationis IV Idus Octob., ut patet ex titulo quem Eadmerus post Prologum Vitae praeposuit.

Monachi vitam ab anno aetatis quarto decimo egit Wilfridus, et regulam sancti Benedicti mirifice propagavit. Quo vero in loco monasticum susceperit habitum, non ita liquet. Et primo quidem annos natus quatuordecim apud Lindisfarnenses monachos diligenter « ea quae monasticae castitatis ac pietatis erant, et discere curabat et agere » inquit Beda in lib. V cap. 19: « Necdum quidem attonsus, verum eis qui tonsura majores sunt virtutibus, humilitatis et obedientiae, non mediocriter insignitus. In quo 133.0981B| monasterio cum aliquot annos Deo serviret animadvertit minime perfectam esse virtutis viam, quae tradebatur a Scotis: proposuitque animo venire Romam, et qui ad sedem apostolicam ritus ecclesiastici sive monasteriales servarentur, videre. » Illic perfectam vitae monasticae, hoc est Benedictinae, adeptus normam, reversus Lugdunum a Dalfino seu Annemundo loci episcopo tonsus est. Postea Alchfridus, Oswii Nortanhumbrorum regis filius. Wilfridum in Britanniam regressum « virum, ait Beda, doctissimum, magistrum habuit eruditionis Christianae. Hujus doctrinam omnibus Scotorum traditionibus jure praeferendam sciebat: unde ei etiam donaverat monasterium quadraginta familiarum in loco qui dicitur in HRipum. » Haec Beda in lib. III cap. 25, ubi Wilfridum abbatem consequenter appellat, ut proinde monastica insignia eo in monasterio suscepisse dicendus sit; paulo post ab Agilberto Gallo, occidentalium Saxonum episcopo, in praefato suo monasterio 133.0981C| presbyter factus rogatu Alchfridi. Scotis in synodo Streaneshalensi confutatis, in monasterium Lindisfarnense, ubi Scoti monachi degebant, monachos nostros induxit. Unde ipse apud Willelmum gloriatur, quod primus in Nortanhumbria « verum Pascha Scotis ejectis docuerit, et sanctissimi Benedicti regulam a monachis observari jusserit. » Complura aedificavit coenobia, « HRipense, Hagustaldense » in suo ipsius episcopatu; alia in Cantuariensi; Seleseiense apud australes Anglos, et alia in regno Merciorum. Huc spectant epitaphii ejus hi versus:
<poem>
Inque locis istis monachorum examina crebra
Colligit, ac monitis cavit quae Regula Patrum
</poem>
Sedulus instituit. Quo in loco regula sancti Benedicti, quam Wilfridus tum in Britannia, tum Romae didicit et excoluit, Regula Patrum appellatur, uti et diserte apud Ambrosium Autpertum in libro De Vita sancti Paldonis abbatis et successorum. 133.0981D|

Ad seriem gestorum Wilfridi quod attinet, natus est anno 634 aut insequenti siquidem obiit anno 709, annos natus septuaginta quinque. Adolescens annorum quatuordecim Lindisfarnense monasterium petiit, ibi aliquot annos moraturus. Inde Romam petiit anno circa 653, paulo ante aut certe paulo post mortem Honorii Cantuariensis episcopi, quam eo anno reponit Beda in lib. III cap. 20. Annis fere 133.0982A| quatuor tum in Lugduni mora, tum Romae exactis, reversus in Britanniam HRipense monasterium aedificat et abbatis nomine administrat. Anno prope 660 Colmannum, Scotorum antesignanum, refutat in synodo Streaneshalensi, tametsi Beda in lib. III cap. 26 signat annum 664. Verum Beda non satis sibi constat, dum eo loci scribit Agilbertum episcopum Gallum huic synodo interfuisse, ejusque jussu Wilfridum, adhuc presbyterum Colmanno restitisse; et tamen Wilfridum episcopum ordinatum esse anno ipso 664 Compendii in Gallia, ex cap. 28, ab Agilberto jam Parisiorum episcopo, qui finita ac soluta concione domum, id est in proprium episcopatum, quem apud occidentales Saxones obtinebat, rediisse dicitur cap. 26. Certe in Epitome Saxonica, Bedae Historiae subjecta, Agilbertus « anno 660 abiisse a Kenwalchio, et Parisiorum episcopatum in Galliis ad Sequanam flumen suscepisse » perhibetur. Wilfridus anno 664 ordinatus 133.0982B| episcopus Eboracensis, cum ex Gallia reversus didicisset Ceaddam Ecclesiae suae consecratum episcopum, secessit in HRipense monasterium. Dein a Wlfario Merciorum rege accitus, postea venit in Cantiam, ibique « presbyteros et diaconos ordinavit, usquedum Theodorus adveniret, » ex Bedae lib. III cap. 28, et lib. IV cap. 2, a quo Ceadda Eboraco pulsus, et Wilfridus in sede sua institutus. Anno 670 Oswius rex Nortanhumbrorum cum Romam ire vellet, Wilfridum itineris ducem sibi fieri rogaverat; sed re infecta moritur, apud Bedam in lib. IV cap. 5. « Anno 673 » Wilfridus concilio Heorutfordensi, Theodoro praesidente, « per proprios legatarios adfuisse » membratur ibidem. « Anno 677 orta inter ipsum et Egfridum regem dissensione, pulsus idem antistes a sede sui episcopatus, et duo in locum ejus substituti episcopi, Bosa, qui Deirorum, et Eata, qui Berniciorum provinciam gubernaret, » cap. 12. Interim Wilfridus post biennium Romam pergit causam dicturus. Confecta re provinciam australium 133.0982C| Saxonum convertit ad Christum, ac Seleseiense monasterium aedificavit, favente Edilwacho rege: ac Ceadwala itidem conspirante Vectae insulae populum Christianis institutis imbuit cap. 16. Anno 687, post mortem Cuthberti Lindisfarnensis episcopi, episcopatum Ecclesiae « illius anno uno servabat venerabilis antistes Wilfridus, donec eligeretur qui pro Cuthberto antistes ordinari deberet, » cap. 29. « Post longum exsilium, » annorum videlicet amplius decem, « in episcopatum Hagustaldensis Ecclesiae receptus » est ex lib. V cap. 3. « Anno secundo ( malim duodecimo) Aldfridi, qui post Egfridum regnavit, » alius ab Alchfrido, id est anno 697, « sedem suam et episcopatum, ipso rege invitante, recepit. Sed post quinque annos denuo accusatus ab eodem ipso rege et plurimis episcopis, praesulatu pulsus est, veniensque Romam » anno circa 703, a Joanne papa absolutus repedavit in Galliam. Meldis ad extrema vitae redactus, inducias annorum quinque 133.0982D| a Deo meruit. Postea in concilio Niddensi restitutus principio regni Ofredi Aldfridi filii, id est anno 705, mortuus est anno ejusdem Ofredi regis quarto, « post quadraginta et quinque annos episcopatus. » teste Beda in lib. V cap. 20, et quidem VIII Kal. Maii anni 709 ineuntis. Certe « quindecies ternos episcopus annos egisse » perhibetur in epitaphio suo apud Bedam relato.
INCIPIT PRAEFATIO.

Inscius aegregios aegris conatibus actus
Ordior en, mutilum quo fert fiducia sensum.
Ausibus infidis aderit sed calculus ignis,
Forcipe vatidicum solitus purgare labellum.
133.0982D| Cunctipotens opifex, arcani pandulus index,
Spiritus internis animans dulcoribus antra,
Cordis amara mei, ne quid displodat inepti
Lingua tenax justi, quo non fervente serenas
Efficit haud Phoebus taedas aut Cynthia parcas.
133.0983A| Saecla priora quidem, lubrico phantasmate lusa,
Excoluere suos vano terrore tyrannos.
At postquam summi voluit regnator Olympi,
Virginis intactae talamos invisere gratis;
Dissepsit varios eliso principe lurcos,
Perque crucis lignum legis solvit maledictum.
Astriferas ubi glorificus recucurrit ad arces,
Praesens ipse suis jugiter cultoribus almum
Nubibus e summis direxit splendide Flatum.
Isque quater ternos ignita luce clientes
Imbuit et dignis numerum successibus auxit.
133.0984A| Hujus inexhaustae praedulcia pocula venae
Sensit Wilfridus fama super ardua notus:
Est votum nobis, si suppetat auctor herilis,
Nomen et elatas cujus depromere palmas.
Huc ades, o formose, Dei per climata testis.
Namque, fatebor enim, tua me pellexit honestas,
Scilicet indulcanda modis odisque canoris:
Coelo vita micans, terris oratio praestans.
Ergo age deciduas precibus suppleto loquelas,
Affer praesidium, ne sit sub falce ruendum.
INCIPIT VITA.

Coelitus enituit. Vicinia protinus omnis
Praepete concurrit nutanti pectore gressu,
Ignis edax socii subeat ne culmina tecti.
Haerent immoti, nondum miracula Christi
Amplexare cati [ i. e. docti], cum non stupuere cremari.
Est, aiunt, papae! divini numinis omen.
133.0983C| Interea taciti muliebri murmure discunt
Fortunata viri, quoniam nascentis imago
Tali promeruit donari forte sacello.
Hac face laetiferas pepulit puer iste tenebras
Cordibus e multis, gliscens virtutibus almis.

==II. Pie institutus, noverca relicta, palatium petit, dein monasterium sub Cudda.==
<poem>
Jam quia mellito dulcescit nectare guttur,
Prosequar arguta juvenem modulando cicuta.
Hic membris etenim comto glaucomate firmis,
Aequaevos habitu studuit superare venusto,
Nil puerile gerens: facundae munia linguae
Aspirante Deo gestis explebat apertis.
At perfecta virum postquam perfecerat aetas,
Natales statuit functa genitrice penates
133.0983D| Linquere et assiduis Domino famuliarier horis.
Quartum post decimum jamjam transegerat annum,
Immitis furias malens vitare novercae,
Cum sociis cessit sueta comitate decoris
Armatus properans juvenis, ceu nobile germen
Nobilium: sed operta fides umbone latebat.
Inde patris dextra pie commendatus avita,
Aulica perspicuis penetravit pergama plantis,
Insignis populi qua tempestate regebat
Dux praeclara nimis Aeonfled cognomine habenas.
133.0984B| Hujus magnificis actutum vultibus almus
Offertur multoque dehinc lepore beatur,
Acceptus cunctis fidei pollebat in actis.
Ac tum fortuitu memorandae Cudda senectae,
Vir probus ingenio, regum meritoque satelles,
Lubrica coenosi postponens gaudia saecli,
Maluit angustae certamen inire palaestrae,
Normalis sese dedans sub regimine vitae.
Is juvenem sacro suscepit amore docendum.
Exin tiro Dei fultus fervore fidei,
Ut verus Samuhel servabat jura magistri,
Fratribus aequali cunctis subjectus amore.
</poem>
==III. Romam peregrinatur; ab Ercomberto detinetur quadriennio.==
<poem>
Jam gravis electam purgarat sarcina mentem,
133.0984C| Excoctumque diu solito flagramine pectus
Concipit internas Jesu spirante salebras.
A virtute volens virtutis in alta migrare,
Romuleum statuit concurrere gratis ad altar,
Scilicet ut veteris lustraret busta piacli,
Augmentumque suis quiret conquirere votis
Haec pia praefato narravit sensa magistro.
Archades hinc ambo voto statuere sub uno,
Culmen apostolicum peteret, creperumque piaret.
Et regina quidem faustum conferre levamen
Praetaxata volens, regi mandata propinquo
Dirigit ac Domini placidum committit alumnum.
Erchumbertus erat, plebis qui sceptra tenebat.
Hic sine fraude virum coluit, sine peste refecit.
Tandem triquadro postquam servaverat anno,
133.0984D| Pluribus emisit sociis fretum duce quodam,
Barbaries Biscop Baducing quem inculta vocabat.
Prospera flabra virum litus jecere sub aptum.
Gallica rura petit, Lugduni culmina scandit.
Mox juga corripuit, comitum deliquia sensit,
A duce deseritur, Christi tamen ore locatur.
</poem>
==IV. Lugduni a Dalwino.==
<poem>
Tibia veriloquo cecinit miracula plectro:
Vis tamen innatae reticet haud mystica musae
133.0985A| Pangere magnificas athletae nobilis odas.
Moenia praefatae praesul memorabilis urbis
Christicolamque gregem septis servabat amoenis,
Francorum Dalwinus adeps: qui sicuti furvas
Pallenti lychino depellit rite tenebras.
Postquam fama volans pulsavit praesulis aures,
Accit continuo, praebens solamina justo,
Excipit hospitio, dapibus fovet oreque mulcet.
Praesensit quippe praecordia casta juventae,
Illustrisque viri faciem perfecte micantem.
Heus, inquit, hospes, mecum sis perpete sospes.
Dum juvat, uberibus pro votis utere glebis,
Farris et excreti communis copia vini.
Si vero consueta placent connubia forte,
Ne differre pares: generosi sanguinis altam
133.0985B| Immensis opibus cognatam trado puellam;
Meque patrem tibimet, temet mihi dedico prolem.
Haec placidus heros exprompserat ore jocundo.
Tiro dehinc agilis voti non immemor infit:
Ardent excoctis fibrarum omenta laternis,
Abdita conceptis dum detrahor, optime, votis.
Tethys cur tumidas Zephyro minitante salivas
Expetii? Frustra me saeva salacia pressit,
Cosmica si spreto repetam contagia Christo.
Sedis apostolicae viso primum cliothetro,
Aeria merear si longule vescier aura,
Te, pater, ex animo soboles devota videbo.
His ita compactis, opibus pro velle paratis,
Praesulis auxilio perrexit calle secundo.
</poem>
==V. Romam tamen peraccedit, ubi a Bonifacio edoctus, papae donariis honoratus, Lugdunum revertitur.==
<poem>
133.0985C|
Quamvis informi Terpsicore paucula versu
Luserit, ardet amor quo pluscula cara superstes
Expediat, famulumque Dei super aethera tollat.
Namque iteris longos explevit honeste meatus,
Optatamque diu Petri properavit in aulam,
Tripudians pandis callido sub pectore venis.
Praeterea Andreae germana diaulia sancti
Ingressus, dictu mirabile! poplite cosso ( sic ),
Ingentes animos labiis patefecit apertis.
En ego commissis veniam deposco piaclis,
Inquit et excelsi testor per sceptra Tonantis,
Solve meae precibus molimina tarda loquelae,
Si quid habes fidei, pie doctor, apostole Christi.
133.0985D| Haec mox explicuit, non serius edita sumpsit,
Ingenium fandi capiens pariterque legendi.
Anglicus indicio superest adhuc quoque clerus,
Divinas pangens Latiis sermonibus odas.
Ille vaporatis afflatus haustibus erga
Auctorata volans altaria, liba piarum
Fundere jure precum studio satagebat inormi.
Unde sibi praeceptorem lucratus ad unguem,
133.0986A| Bis didicit bini pia dogmata docte fluenti,
Ritus paschales, varium lunaeque recursum,
Ignarasque suis latiatim sane rubricas.
Nomen erat tanto Bonifacius huic pedagogo,
Profuit iste viro nimium, quem glorificandum
Sub sacris papae venerabilis abdidit alis,
Exponens longos animi ferventis agones.
Quique fidem cernens, dextram praetendit, et ipsum
Liberius lata perfudit blande charita ( sic ).
Fultus sic pretiis sanctorum ex artubus almis
Relliquiis, pernix reduces supra memorati
Convertit gressus cara ad habitacula patris.
Commode cuncta meat, Lugduni celsa subintrat.

==VI. Post annos tres tondetur. Dalphino caeso, Britanniam repetit.==
<poem>
133.0986B| Quid narrem lacrymas alterna fronte profusas?
Gaudebant ambo, Wilfridus amore paterno,
Nec minus ipse pater dilecto pignore viso:
Quemque prius animo moerens laxarat amaro,
Permulcet, blandis dans basia casta lacertis.
Nunc singillatim modo miscent laeta vicissim.
Sero quidem rediit, verum tria lustra peregit
Hospite cum prisco, discens examine multo,
Abdita multimodae scrutarier antra sophiae.
Urit amor juvenem, nec tardat grata cupido,
Occuluit quod tecta pio synthemate virtus
Prodere. Nam crines summo de vertice passos
Pontificis dextra primum titulante recidit,
Optans vivificae sustollere stigma coronae.
Archipater gaudet heredem nactus opimum,
133.0986C| Cui queat eudoxas moriens committere caulas.
Arbiter ast rerum praesciverat hunc aliorsum
Vomere salvifico sulcare novalia Christo.
Francorum tum forte scelus vastissima pestis
Augebat, Balthild reginae nomine pistrix,
Olla velut fervens stygia fuligine tosta
Instabat laceris agios laniare creagris.
Non nostrum facinus metro discludere tantum.
Ecclesiae novem violaverat ense patronos [episcopos],
His licet exceptis, quos non capit ars numeralis.
Horum praefatus sine casu criminis unus,
Dalwinus fuerat verbo, re, speque beatus,
Quem fera multatrix lictoribus impietatis
Addixit saevas mucronis pendere poenas.
133.0986D| Hi mox arcessunt crudelia jura furentis,
Multivolae Domini beluae, quam jura tueri.
Ergo petens diri praefixum scamma duelli,
Accepit socium, quem fecerat ante propinquum.
Rennuit ipse tamen, huic ne foret exitus idem.
Sic Pater aeternam sumsit moriendo coronam,
Filius et fortes vixit tolerando labores,
Cum moerore gravi condivit funera caesi.
Protinus ipse parans reddi natalibus oris,
133.0987A| Caeruleum rapidis sulcabat Nerea [mare] remis.
Littora felici patuere salubria cursu.

==VII. Regiam adit. A rege praedia accipit et II Ripense monasterium.==
<poem>
Fasces imperii reges tum forte gemelli,
Alfridus imperitans, una genitor simul Oswiu,
Foedere consorti servabant scitaque vulgi,
Ardentes animis subdi coelestibus orgiis [ i. e. mysteriis].
Nec potuit latebris abdi fax missa nefandis.
Mox proceres inter rumusculus exiit aulae,
Scilicet adventasse virum virtute vigetum,
Optima clavigeris qui fatur dogmata coeli.
Regalis sane subiit proscenia fundi,
Pax domui tunc, infit, huic, captimque loquelas
Tractat evangelicas, quas indice discere Christo
133.0987B| Promeruit, latae penetrans gymnasia Romae,
Quaeque sub argutis congesserat optima Gallis.
Attonitus stupidis princeps sermonibus ultro,
Non puduit glauco telluri sternier ostro,
Ore petens agii confestim se benedici.
Explevit. Cum rege manens, sat multa benigno
Obtinuit merito pecuaria, praedia, census,
Atque monasterium vulgari nomine HRipis.
Qui non aeratas instabat condere gazas,
Dapsilis ast cunctis, dedans hermenia vitae,
Pauperibus largas praebebat sedulus escas,
Exemplo pendens cogitet quid spiritus ardens.
</poem>
==VIII. Ab Aegilberto Gallo episcopo presbyter ordinatur.==
<poem>
Materiem fandi dabit amodo gratia tanti.
Interea Boreae praesul defertur ab oris.
133.0987C| Aegilbertus erat, doctrinae robore mactus,
Astabat ducibus, suadens quae mandat Jesus.
Is mox Wilfridi vitam meritumque notavit
Praecipuum. Sermone ducis sententia fertur,
Utile personam gradibus donando beari
Divinis, quam non hebetet censura palustris.
Allegat praesul facilis: verum ille juventae
Excursus trepidat, ne forsan mobilis aetas
Praecipitem pravae retrahat per competa sectae.
Tandem colla jugo subdens delecta petito,
Ordinis aptatur caelebs in honore secundi [ i. e. sacerdotii].
Tum magis atque magis fructu meliore gravescens,
Sufficiebat ovans cunctis documenta salutis.
</poem>
==IX. Schismate exhorto de Paschate, Wilfridus Scotos revincit.==
<poem>
133.0987D|
Orta dehinc pestis geminum discludit in orbem
Unicolam verae fidei sat morbide plebem.
Dumque tremunt bifido corruptae schismate partes,
Eoo coiere simul, gelida sed et Arcto,
133.0988A| Scottica plebs, et Picta cohors, vulgusque Britannum.
Hinc regale decus, ephoeborumque manipli,
Turba senum, praesul violento deditus Euro.
Stant acies dubio certatim fine retentae,
Publica declivae fiunt divortia lunae.
Inde loquax positae Colmanus episcopus umbrae,
Dat praecepta prior subito lapsura fragore.
Nos seriem patriam, non frivola scripta tenemus,
Discipulo Eusebii Polycarpo dante Joannis.
Ille etenim bis septenae sub tempore phoebae,
Sanctum praefixit nobis fore Pascha colendum:
Atque nefas dixit, si quis contraria sentit.
Docte quidem morem narrans depromsit avitum,
Utpote praeteritae recolens choragia zoae [vitae].
Sed non aequatis appendit lancibus aequi
133.0988B| Testamenta Dei, veris aequata chylindris.
Condoluere Patres, caeco quia numine fratres
Nituntur validis tabularia menda tueri,
Obicibus faciles nec cedunt posse refelli.
Heroum jussu clivosi tramitis atqu
Anfractus lubricae prudenter devia sectae
Wilfridus legitur spermologus arte sagaci
Pellere, nota peregrinae cui famina glossae.
Hinc dubios inter cuneos orator adorsus:
Ter centum memini ter senos atque gerontas,
Limpida collectim Nicaeae exempla tulisse.
Quae si perspiciant, mox eluctabitur omnis
Desidiae scabies, torvis illata chelydris.
Metarunt etenim ter seni themata cycli
In sese refluos juncto monade recursus.
133.0988C| Hic tenet: ignorat sed hunc gens indiga veri,
Caecutiens lippis quid differt discere ocellis.
Dixerat, effertur legionum valde favore.
Addit praeterea plano sermone profatus:
Haec immota manent cunctos oracula soles.
Stirps quaecumque volet fixos obvertere fines,
Tartara flammiferis sudibus sub acerba rotetur.
Quo dicto siluit Princeps, canique sequaces
Frigida convulsis vexabant pectora pugnis.
Solvitur in tenerum confestim concio luctum.
Dulcia post modicum rex mitis protulit ora:
Condecet eniti poenis Acherontis adusti,
Exemptas justis mentes miscere suadelis,
Dicite, quaeso, Patres [ f. fidei] fervore calentes,
133.0988D| Numquid olympiaca Petro quis major in aula?
Quem nos et prisci dudum legere tyranni.
An Columchilla quo plebs infausta superbit?
Synodus elata respondit voce beata:
Petrus ab altithrono donatus desmate Jesu,
Difficit ignavae torquentia lora senectae,
133.0989A| Suscipit elisiis justum spiramina zetis [mansionibus],
Utpote coelestes retinens pro munere claves.
Hunc, inquit, plebes, hunc amplexemur et omnes,
Ne non vitalis pandatur regia templi.
Rex ait, et victi cesserunt improbe Picti,
Colmanusque suas inglorius abjicit arces,
Malens Ausonias victus dissolvere leges.
</poem>
==X. Eboraci designatur episcopus. In Gallia vult ordinari.==
<poem>
Auxit rorigeri per quem micat astrea coeli
Victoris specimen, quem jam transvexerat Alpem.
Nam postquam dicto sedes viduata patrono;
Consulto Regis, necnon hortamine plebis,
Lactea suspensis qui praebeat ubera mandris,
133.0989B| Wilfridum patria creverunt voce legendum,
Lilia suppressis et norit comere lappis.
Territus ipse quidem viridis pro tempore succi,
Mille movens animo balearica tela nefandi
Hostis, et ignotas aegrotis sensibus auras.
Sed ne blasphemae ruat in praerupta catervae,
Aut vitet sceleris madidas lustrare lacunas;
Suscepit humilis quid fors jubet imperialis.
Ergo manet solitus succincto sudor alumno,
Emicuit quamvis genialis flamine vertex.
Convenere dies graduum, quibus ardua moles
Excipienda viro. Tunc fatur regibus ultro:
Inconcussa, duces, vestri sententia, quaeso,
Si fortunatis agitat mea dogmata fatis,
Primum praeteriti fas est meminisse laboris.
133.0989C| Nam superest recidiva lues dum lisque veterna,
Monstris haud patiar maculatis colla beari.
Gallica non paucis pavit me glarea aristis [annis],
Hesperiumque decus laribus servatur in illis.
Illac commissi properans sandalia juris
Accipiam, pontus ni forte repagula nostris
Classibus opponat, valido turbone coactus.
Indulgent proceres, magnates, necne calones.
</poem>
==XI. Fretum trajicit. Consecratur.==
<poem>
Mox rebus gestis ornatur regia classis,
Coelicolae socias laeta exceptura phalanges.
Navita felicis defixit stigmata clavi.
Multiplices nectens malo trutinante rudentes.
Solvitur, et laxis fastigia spumea verrunt
133.0989D| Ocius antemnis pelagi, nec inepta capessunt
Littora, gratanti subeunt et pectore portum.
Interea placidi patuit legatio nautae.
Pontifices coeunt alacres, ut nota voluntas
In conventiculis adsumitur immaculatis,
Pertonuitque tubis aedes pretiosa beatis.
Stat duodena cohors multis stipata columnis,
Exsultant jubilo miscentes organa sistro,
Mystica veriloquo traduntur et arma ministro.
Occiput effuso gratis pinguescit olivo,
133.0990A| Candiduli primum renitent ornacula lini,
Aurifluae rutilant serrano murice zonae,
Comuntur roseo candentia podere colla,
Gemmata vehitur archontum more curuli,
Induit ormiscum subiit hoc schemate templum.
Postquam signa tulit multo radiata metallo,
Astitit, eucharis [eucharistia] libamina consecrat aris,
Omnibus expletis remeat, navemque subintrat.
</poem>
==XII. Rediens tempestate jactatur. A praedonibus impetitur. Victor portum attingit.==
<poem>
Sed quia felices tentatio comprobat omnes
Indivisa comes; dum tensis alta pererrant
Marmora Psalmigraphi recolentes orgia velis
Ecce repentinis pontus fundotenus undis
Infremuit, casus agitans artemo minaces
133.0990B| Longe sub ignotis minitat labentia ripis
Agmina dira pati vicinae impendia mortis.
Incumbunt remis, vexatur languida puppis.
Cruribus ipse Pater navalia procubus arma
Confirmat positis, intentans lumina coelis.
Ecce sub infausti contraria littora portus
Gens effera suis casum spectabat in armis,
Praedari fragilem captiva plebe carinam.
Quos Pater intuitus, humili sermone precatus:
Naufragium servatis, ait, sed sponte mearum
Grandia contribuam, resipiscite, munera rerum.
Nos equidem gravis afflictat violentia ponti:
Sed velox aderit, fateor, miseratio Christi.
Stans volucres augur solitus servare sinistras,
133.0990C| Despumat tumidis oracula saeva labellis:
Eumenides furias vocitat sub murmure Parcas,
Manibus infernis ut fortis mandat Erinis [Erinnys]
Expedit admisso plebs cara cruore litari.
Hoc ait, et properans bellum ferale perurget.
Praesul item sanctas tendens ad sidera palmas,
Invocat auxilium divinitus adfore magnum.
Haec inter tereti juvenis scutale lapillo
Ornat, et infandi torquens per inania vatis,
Figens sincipiti trajecit in antra cerebri.
Corruit utque vafer, clamoribus aestuat aether
Cara dehinc recolit pastor miracula David:
Incubat ipse magis, avertitur impia pestis.
Conclamant acies truculento marte ruentes,
Vocibus infestis concursant agmina regis.
133.0990D| Quid plura? quoties crudelia bella lacessunt,
Excipiunt ictus Jesu vigilante cruentos.
Unde quater victi remeant, victorque sereno
Evehitur pelago, frustratus remige quino,
Optatumque tenent repetito limite portum.
</poem>
==XII. Ceadda Eboraci substituto, in HRipense monasterium secedit. A Volfario rege Merciorum expetitur. Cantiae ministros ordinat, monasteria construit.==
<poem>
Hi quoque quos pridem regalis concio victos
133.0991A| Expulerat, fraude tantum potuere mereri.
Gallica detentus ponto dum rura vagatus,
Temperiem lente speraret adesse jocundam,
Mutavit malefida locum defectio regis.
Constituunt etenim perverso canone Coeddam,
Moribus acclinem, doctrinae robore fortem,
Praesulis eximii servare cubilia: sicque
Audacter vivo sponsam rapuere marito.
Obvia turba Patri luctu quatiente revelat,
Divertitque humilis sub nota mapalia HRipis.
Usque adeon, potuit quisquam nescire moveri?
Non hunc subreptae tanto discrimine sedes,
Non illum sumti multo luctamine fasces,
Aut labor, aut tumidi conterruit ira profundi:
Spe meliore manet latebris contectus in illis.
133.0991B| Saepe licet proprias videtur pascere ovillas,
Nulla datur requies, vicino urgente colono.
Quaeritur a ducibus, quorum Wlfarius unus,
Nobilibus pollens per Mercica regna triumphis;
Vix potuit fato pastorem efferre locello.
Qui postquam meruit tanto doctore potiri,
Affectu coluit, terris et honore ditavit.
Ekbertus vero, quem Cantia rura timebant,
Dum pastore caret, flexo rogitamine poscit,
Ordinet ut sacros decreto more ministros.
His ita digestis, natales prospere fines
Asseculis fultus repetit fastu sine multis.
Plures instituit normali tramite cellas.
Vitam privato servare monebat asylo.
Se quoque continuis ter ducti solibus anni
133.0991C| Accinxit solitis fidei pugnacibus armis:
Nec cessit diri spolians capitolia furis.

==XIV. A Theodoro sedi restituitur.==
<poem>
Emensis igitur praedicti temporis annis,
Mittitur Ausoniis pastorum praesul ab oris
Cultor justitiae Theodorus ac pietatis.
Comperit ut justum collata sede revulsum,
In commune dolet violatae foedera legis.
Mox foribus raptis Coeddam dimovit, et apte
Praefecit sedi longum pastore vacanti,
Wilfridumque suis redimivit protinus aulis.
Sic patiens meruit collato jure pacisci.
</poem>
==XV. Templum resarcit. H Ripensem basilicam sacrat.==
<poem>
133.0991D| Redditus ergo suis, instabat promtius illis.
Ecclesiae vero fundamina cassa vetustae,

Humida contrito stillabant assere tecta:
Livida nudato suggrundia pariete passa
Imbricibus nullis: pluviae quacunque vagantur.
Pendula discissis fluitant laquearia tignis,
133.0992A| Fornice marcebant cataractae dilapidato.
His ita contuitis, exhorruit ilicet alti

Incumbunt fessi vasto sudore latomi,
Nec minus approperant opicizi ( sic ) emblemata proni
Arcus incultos hyalino [vitreo] claudere velo.
Pondus et informes atlantes [columnas] ferre priores
Jussit et expletum: lymphis perfunditur absis,
Albanturque suis lustrata altaria peplis.
Exin glorifico persolvit munia Christo.
Crescit summa viri, crescit dilectio sancti,
Virtutum genitrix almorum florida nutrix.
Non igitur coeptum dissolvit dexia [ i. e. prosperitas] votum,
Picria neve tulit. Seu dissologia [discordia] rupit,
133.0992B| Theosopho spirans animo cognata synergus
Oppida diffuso HRipis amplificare colurno.
Illic planata decusatim vomere terra,
Symmetriis perpendiculo perfecte libratis,

Tandem post paucas ornatis rebus imeras.
Convenere duces, necnon basileia pubes,
Tristatae comites, vulgi promiscua strages,
Ecclesiae proceres aedem pro more beantes,
Ornarunt altare Petri sub honore canori.
Stans in cancellis dat cunctis sperma salutis,
Regibus edixit, repetitaque rura recepit,
Verbo necne cibo triduo turbam satiavit.
Optima quaeque dedit libens exenia miris
133.0992C| Deflorata modis, capsacibus [atque gemellis (gemmulis)

Auctus ( sic ) evangelicum servans in corpore textum.
Cumque benignivolo persolveret omnia corde,
Inflatur nullo Jesu moderamine typho.
Quapropter merita donatus digne chorea
Floruit, ut quondam Moysi sub tempore lampas,
Pandens aeternae callem patriamque quietis,
Atque domos sibimet superae religionis amicas.

==XVI. Baptizatos confirmat. Puerum mortuum suscitat, eumque baptizat et Deo sacrat.==

Quid? loquar an sileam? verbi da, Christe, lucernam.
Exiguum dixi, liceat jam rumpere longas
133.0992D| Inscitia cogente moras, ne lingua pudorem
Praesumtrix tulerit. Neque enim modo sufficit ulla
Virtutum pelagus percurrere rite tuarum,
Quas meruere tui per te complere coloni.
E numero quorum Wilfridus marchio summus,
Nobiliter superae ducens per pascua vitae
Pastor alebat oves: ut propulit eminus hostes,
133.0993A| Monstrabat liquidis salvandos tinguere lymphis
In Patris et Nati necnon et Flaminis almi
Nomine, chrismales adhibens Pater ipse fluores.
Quem populi pulcra medium cinxere corona.
Ecce per offusas denso tamen agmine turmas
Plena metu mulier, defunctae funera prolis,
Sandapilam fugiens, fessis ostentat in ulnis.
Stat turbis immista fides, terrorque gementem
Afflictant tacitis circum praecordia flagris.
Tum Pater accessit, mox pallida conspicit ora.
Obstipuit, haesitque loco temeraria latrix,
Pronior incubuit, luctum singultibus auxit.
O Pater, elatam noli deponere dextram.
Orbatam nato matrem cur despicis uno?
En qui confirmas Christum fore [esse] cunctipotentem,
133.0993B| Imple fidem gestis, miserae da pignus alumnae.
Ingeminat querulas instanti murmure voces.
Concio concurrit gemitu collecta misellae.
Fit plangor grandis. Tandem compassus herilis
Praesul, agit tacitas sancto sub pectore grates,
Perfida quod novit Jesum rogitare caterva.
Moxque solo fixus claros in corde meatus
Tunc reserat, faciem lacrymis et corcula palmis
Afficit, Adonaique pio clamore citavit.
Consurgens autem praesensit adesse salutem.
Timpora cumque manu palpasset frigida; functus
Caesariem movit, vitali redditus aura.
Vulgus inexpletas confusis vocibus odas,
Haec ubi sunt patrata, dedit: puer illico sacris
133.0993C| Baptizatur aquis, miserae dans gaudia matri.
Protinus acceptum secum portavit alendum,
Jussa patri post septenos ut redderet annos.
Ast cogente fero contemsit dicta marito,
Exsul ad externos fugiens cum prole Britannos.
Nec multum latuit. Posthaec non sponte reduxit
Praefectus puerum quidam Patris in dominatum,
Exin divinis illum famulatibus addit.
Pluribus exemplo puer isdem profuit almo.
Tunc fax emicuit, quae inter crepitacula fulsit.
</poem>
==XVII. Angliae felix status. Egfridus rex Nortanhumbrorum Pictos rebelles perdomat Wilfridi meritis.==
<poem>
Anglum tum gemina fulgebat lampade regnum.
Pontifices regis consulto digna gerebant,
Rex quoque praesulibus latria servibat honora.
133.0993D| Summa quies plebi legalia jura tenenti.
Frugiferis gravida gaudebant horrea glebis,
Epibatae [nautae] faciles ausu sprevere latrones.
Classica dira silent, nec formidatur egestas:
133.0994A| Promicat Ecclesia pacato foedere nexa.
Laetifer invidit, conamina mille reclusit,
Rumperet ut sanctam perverso schismate pacem.
Aggeribus crassis nisa est gens Picta rebellis,
Anglorum solitas jam tunc non ferre catenas.
Egfridus imperii largas retinebat habenas.
Conjunx alma viro Edildrid, famosa virago,
Addita conjugio vixit castissima virgo.
Princeps ergo leves animo flammante cohortes
Admovet, indomitoque reos mucrone trucidat.
Exclusere duos caesis ex hostibus amnes,
Manubiis fratri regis venere manipli,
Dant stragem late, redeunt in colla catenae:
Perfruitur magno rex victor longe triumpho.
Non armis etenim raro cum milite vicit:
133.0994B| Sed virtute Dei, meritis et praesulis almi,
Obtinuit gentes vacuo turgore minaces.
</poem>
==XVIII. Mercii quoque perdomantur.==
<poem>
Nec minus innumeras, dum Mercica regna tumerent,
Cuspide confossas stravit rex iste catervas.
Quorum dux cessit fugiens, aevoque sequenti
Addidit Arctois borealia sceptra triumphis,
Fultus magnifico Wilfridi plane rogatu.
</poem>
==XIX. Wilfridus pie vivit.==
<poem>
Virtus ergo viri nullo sudore remitti,
Neve supercilio subrectis nisibus extra
Justitiae verum diduci quibat oestrum [stimulum].
Sane per ignotas instanter mente pererrans,
Divinae gentes sationis tempore passim
Dilatans, exercitium non segne gerebat.
133.0994C| Excubiis pernox gaudens instare secretis,
Corpus perspicuis castum purgat in undis.
Ingeniti fervore laris ne torreat ustum.
Non ardor Phoebi, non algida tempora brumae
Dulcia conceptae rupere volumina curae:
Donec apostolicis jamjam defecta senectus
Praeceptis tanto meruit squalore resolvi.
Nec solus poti scyphum consumere rivi
Fas fore decrevit: jejunia laeta luebat,
Subjectosque viam praecurrens duxit in artam.
Conflua turba ducum soboles conferre sub ipsum
Gaudebat, mirata piam morum probitatem,
Seu servire Deo, seu nosse palatia justo.
Haec quoque falsiloquis praebebant jura linguis,
Ast athleta Dei contectus vellere pacis,
133.0994D| Obsequium mitis odiis suffibat acerbis.
</poem>
==XX. S. Andreae basilicam condit. Elisum sospitati redintegrat.==
<poem>
Praeterea templum caesis instaurat arenis,
133.0995A| Circumdans caecis sinuato fornice cryptis,
Lenibus obductas pingens flavoribus aulas.
Mox recolit tardae collata juvamina linguae,
Andreaeque pii vocitamen contulit arae.
Invidia mortiferi non defuit aura chelydri.
Trullissant etenim muri dum futilis alta,
Corruit in praeceps colliso corpore frater.
Cruscula gressuros non norunt solvere tractus,
Elisisque tori [colli] marcescunt horride fibris.
Ultima cum timidae traheret suspiria vitae,
Concurrunt tristes ad haec funebria plebes.
Praescia mens Patris statim cognovit in antris.
Extimplo lacrymis puro de pectore fusis,
Hortatur reliquos Dominum obsecrare dolentes,
Ut reparet laesam pastor supremus ovillam.
133.0995B| Adfuit, et properam sumserunt membra salutem,
Erubuit laetum vita mediante repulsum.
Quapropter magni laudarunt munera Christi.
</poem>
==XXI. Ermemburgae reginae impulsu Egifridus rex. Theodori consensu, Wilfridis dioecesim in tres partitur. Romam appellat Wilfridus. Insectantium poenas praedicit.==
<poem>
Daemonis ira fremens tantam vult subdole gnosiu
Fallere, delecto quo primum milite caeso
Invalidi fragiles perterreat agminis hastas.
Plurima maturans antiqua recurrit ad arma,
Corrupitque levem regis morbose jugalem.
Haec virosa malae jaciens tum tela pharetrae,
Corcula strophoso violavit vulnere regis,
Rancidulis infesta modis, ceu garrula perdix,
133.0995C| Culpabat justum collatis rebus abuti.
Gloria namque viro totis a partibus orbis,
Agricolae plures, fecundae gramina terrae,
Procurvi proceres, juvenum fetura locuples,
Insuper aethereae monachorum concio vitae.
Postquam pestiferum penetravit corda venenum,
Adscivere suis deceptum prone loquelis
Veri doctorem, justi quoque pene sequacem
Theodorum, supra cecinit quem rustica musa.
Annuit ipse quidem regalibus improbe coeptis,
Substituens ternos sub nomine praesulis intra
Contiguos Patri fines illo usque monarchas (episcopos).
Audiit Eutyches quid rex sibi contrahat, imas
Percontare volens naevo sine criminis iras,
133.0995D| Alta petit lento triclinia opipare gressu.
133.0996A| Ecce faces tanti stimulatoresque pericli
Obriguere metu, commentaturque maligna.
Cur laedor, Pater, inquit, ab his, quos nulla fatigat
Nostrarum, fateor, impune molestia legum?
Nos, aiunt, facinus quamvis cogente senatu
Ponimus, haud quodquam nefas decreta refelli.
Sic testes scelerum firi [fieri] potuere suorum.
Antistes vero nollens desistere coepto,
Quidquid ei pravum pseudo-theosebia nectit,
Romuleo sanxit voto fore discutiendum.
Intuitus quosdam foedo insultare cachinno:
O utinam laetos pueri feliciter annos
Ducatis! sed gaudia sors infesta resolvet.
Nec prius in refluos venient haec tempora soles,
Immatura nimis quam tristia fata luatis.
133.0996B| Haec ait, et sobrio compressit verba palato.
Alfwine post jugulum populi luxere profatum,
Inferias caeso dantes moerendo Clitoni
Cujus post tumulum fratris victoria fluxit.
</poem>
==XXII. Mare transmisso ad Fresones deportatus verbum Dei praedicat.==
<poem>
His ita compertis rediit, laetoque negatas
Corde revisit oves, arentia pectora blandis
Paulatim reparat solamina dando loquelis.
Interea pernix obliquo littore celox [scapha]
Solvitur, aequoreos pertentatura meatus.
Quam circum monachi, dextra laevaque relicti,
Fausta patri pariter lacrymosis questibus orant.
Tunc inimica seges igni tradenda perenni,
Non contenta suae virus fudisse kakiae [malitiae,]
133.0996C| Legatos regi Francorum dirigit, atque
Oeconomum Domini praedati impune petivit.
Sed superi pietate ducis conamina falsa
Macario nullas quibant inferre ruinas.
Laetiferas vero scrobibus versute latentes
Decipulas sensit Winfridus praesul, eisdem
Perditus insidiis, tantum monogrammate lusus.
Praeterea flabris aliorsum prospere versis,
Freisonum laetis portum percepit in oris.
Gentiles stupuere nimis, sed summa mekotes ( sic )
Regem cum ducibus placatos reddidit omnes.
Categorans [praedicans] ergo divinum sperma popello,
Aperuit dulces in falsis rupibus amnes.
Tum pecudum fetura habilis, tum semen in arvis
133.0996D| Crevit, et exsultant sollemniter opiliones.
133.0997A| Post modicum multis tribuit baptisma salutis,
Et fundavit eas Wilbrordus quas habet arces,
Aequiparans tantum fidei fervore magistrum.
</poem>
==XXIII. Frisonum regem in Wilfridum accendere nititur Ebroinus.==
<poem>
Nec tutela ducem, quem multae copia gazae
Francorum rupit, furiis accendit acerbis.
Syngraphidem sculpsit, munus venale notavit,
Quiret Adalgisum collatis subdole regem
Implanare opibus Efruinus [Ebroinus] philocompos
Legati properant, paraphrastica jussa revelant.
Rex vero phronymus scindens ferale volumen,
Aspernatus eos, flammis projecit in altis.
Imprecor aeterno pereat sic caumate, quisquis
Compactae quaerit fidei dissolvere nodos,
133.0997B| Infit: et infestos jussit remeare sodales.
Haud dubium quin lustratus fulgore superno,
Ad cunas agii quondam qui luxit ab alto.
</poem>
==XXIV. Apostrophe ad reginam.==
<poem>
Imprudens mulier, justum furialibus armis.
Cur stimulas? sat erat patria expunxisse beatum.
Quid mare sollicitas? quid casses abde charybdi?
Num tibi quadripatens obedit machina ruris?
Tene jubente poli rutilabit dextimus axis?
Siste, capesse fidem, dynami capieris eadem,
Ocius amisso mutaberis ipsa marito,
Grassatrix scelerum fies inimica luporum,
Christi candidulos pasces modo mitior agnos.
Quem nunc persequeris, posthac devota sequeris,
133.0997C| Multa dehinc populis adhibens monimenta salutis.
Ista per ecstasin scalpello lusimus unco.
Coepta libet solito nunc insanire cothurno.
</poem>
==XXV. Wilfridus ad Dagobertum se recipit.==
<poem>
Ver gelidos tepidis jam solverat aestibus Alpes,
Viribus adsumtis cum praesul laetus ab illis
Gallica rura petens exivit finibus, atque
Nota subit fidens Dagoberti moenia regis.
Is equidem merito, venturus ut adseret ordo,
Publica suscepto praebebat laeta patrono.
Perditus, ut nostis, inquit, popularibus alis,
Excepi moestas tenero olim somate erumnas.
Adscendi tremulum non multo remige lembum,
Pulsus ad ignavos adulescens exsul Hibernos.
133.0997D| En vobis, cujus merui tutamine reddi;
Per me, perque tuam, miles delecte, salutem,
Si qua fides animo, tantum servemus amicum.
133.0998A| Exsultant proceres: neque enim leve principis extra
Praecipuum fas est subjectos velle meare.
Obtulit egregias immenso oromate sedes,
Ire catillatum nec vult rex ultra beatum
Friguttire, petit vetitas alacrior arces.
Magnanimus vero votis regalibus heros.
Non cessit: verum rebus sociisque levatus,
Quin etiam sumto Deodato praesule pergit.
Rursus ab objecto properans sibi rege paratum
Vadit ad hospitium. Bertherus namque patentes
Imperitans terras multo terrore regebat.
Ipse pio solans justum suscepit amore.
Post epulas et post grati carchesia bacchi,
Rex coepit narrare Patri, qui livida civis
Viderit orsa mali sese violare volentis.
133.0998B| Ast ego praeteriti memor, inquit, sancte, pericli,
Ut quondam tellure mea privatus, amaras
Externo sub rege degens sensi cicatrices.
Foedere sed multo quamvis servatus ab humo,
Evasi saevos discedens liber amicos.
Me quoque muneribus voluerunt fallere latis,
Quo te deciperent glauci lacerando Britanni.
Quod si me fidei gentilis amore tenacis
Vendere despexit, te nec minus ipse fovebo.
Claxendix tonuit, comites rex promtulus auxit.
Sic Romana petunt pernicibus atria plantis.
</poem>
==XXVI. Ipso praesente Romae synodus convocatur, in qua restituitur Wilfridus.==
<poem>
Cursores sed jam praemiserat archipolites
Theodorus. Tum Wilfridi pia fama beati
133.0998C| Ausonias notis penetravit nutibus aulas.
Euge ciunt cives certatim protinus omnes.
Exterit abiegnas Petri dignissime valvas.
Agatho apostolicas decorabat praesul habenas,
Justitia simplex, aequi non marcidus auspex.
Edictum posuit, patrium syntagma gregavit,
Atque quater duodena Patrum, nectente diade
Agmina conduxit, communi famine dixit:
Cultus et Ecclesiae fucatur sanctio priscae,
Ni coquat emersas calor ecclesiasticus herbas.
Anglica comperimus vexari pessime regna,
Dum praeter fixos fiunt discidia fines.
Arguto fratres fratrum discrimine clades.
Pendite ne rudibus pereant antiqua bilibris.
133.0998D| Primores Itali trutina pietatis adulti,
Talia doctiloquo retulerunt fata magistro:
Incipe, pastor, habes veterum decreta virorum.
133.0999A| Nunc illos admitte, placet, quos multa fatigant
Instigante fide spatiosae incommoda terrae.
Decernes sermone pio, quid subditus ordo,
Et quid quaeque colant, seu quid vitare jubentur
Ecclesiae, scelus hoc pacto vacuabitur omne.
Allusit: statimque sacras Wilfridus in aedes
Cogitur ipse suas jussus narrare querelas.
Obtulit expressum Patribus diploma legendum,
Ut patriae curas ovium ceu lucra piarum
Sedulus obsequio tractaverit, utque dicatas
Invidia cogente fores suspenderit, atque
Eheu pontificum fraudes qui more procorum
Ornatam proprio sponsam invasere patrono.
Non ego criminibus quemquam depravo peractis.
Praestolor Hesperia qui judicer, inquit, ab aula,
133.0999B| Omnia versifico longum exanthlare relatu.
Alternae perhibent sincera oracula partes
Expromisisse virum: prorsus hunc esse legendum,
Cujus apostolico solidandae robore vires,
Hoc virus ne serpat, et incautos malesano
Inficiat succo, dum Justum pessimat atrox.
Annuit, et scriptis legalibus archierarchus [papa]
Theodoro regique jubet sancita notari.
Ni pietate pari conservent jussa magistri,
Judicio Domini cunctos anathemate plecti,
Quaerentes animam sine re damnare beati.
</poem>
==XXVII. Dagoberto bello impetito et caeso Wilfridus ob ipsum servatum convicio appetitur.==
<poem>
His ita fundatis, ne sicut apostata vilis,
Aut legum profugus sola quaerat perdere nota;
133.0999C| Limitibus planis excessit finibus illis.
Uritur infestus humanae prolis amicus,
Commaculare bonum perquirens livide votum.
Nam properans patuli dum verreret aequora campi,
Conglomerata suis furunt collegia signis
Noxia, regali, ceu fertur, sanguine fuso.
Civiles etenim Dagobertus Marchio dextras
Senserat, et rigidum capulotenus inguine ferrum.
Praelia vibratis intentant comminus hastis.
Arduus excusso quorum convicia telo
Unus pontifici foedo sic ingerit ore:
Delator patriae petulans, moribunde viator,
Gallica tu pridem violasti sceptra, relato,
Qui periit caesus, quem jure sequere, tyranno.
An pravum gessi, regem dum forte remisi?
133.0999D| Inquit, et opto pati gaudens pro nomine Christi.
Mox truculenta ruunt hastilia: deinde remissis
Acclines rogitant ancilibus ut benedicat.
Crediderim rutilo perculsi fulminis igne,
Quod patuit mundo, dum matris fluxit ab alvo.
</poem>
==XXVIII. In Angliam reversus litteras exhibet pontificias.==
<poem>
Nil metuens ergo pertransit gramina tuto,
Securusque cavas intrat velociter alnos [naves].
133.1000A| Multivido fratrum post haec oramine fultus,
Auctorata ferens Petri vexilla beati,
Regales adiit, dans rectis gaudia, postes.
Bullatas offert signato cortice chartas.
Confestim doctae pariter coiere catervae,
Quid narret Romanus apex, audire paratae.
Archistrateios solio prospectat ab alto,
Jus crudele sacris ausus dictare loquelis.
</poem>
==XXIX. Quibus spretis, ipse in carcerem conjicitur.==
<poem>
Post evangelicum catorthoma, post recitatas
Sedis apostolicae causas, indigne ferebant
Oppositi quidam raptam persolvere praedam.
Urgebantur acri furioso pectore bile:
Permulcentque, nefas: perverso fasmate [famine] regem
133.1000B| Spernere syngraphas furtivis rebus adeptas:
Symmystenque Dei gaudent sychophanta notari.
Tandem semoto Patrem trusere locello,
Blanda retractantem regis promissa superni,
Olim qui dixit, qui vos hic, me quoque spernit.
Tum regina gravis hujusce schismatis auctrix,
Praesumsit pretias [pretiosas] sancto divellere capsas,
Non impune sibi tantam sociata rapinam.
</poem>
==XXX. Oratio ipsius ad suos.==
<poem>
Ergo opibus sociis pessumdatus inclytus heros,
Famina mirifico fratribus depromsit ab ore.
Gloria multa, loquens, multo captanda labore.
Cana Patrum series, longos experta dolores,
133.1000C| Vincere multiplices meruit divinitus hostes.
Heroum duodenus apex patiendo beatas
Sidereumque decus Jesu tribuente coronas
Excepit, multum modico lucratur ab ipso.
Nostra licet duram patiantur corpora sortem,
Mentes triticeo coelis indentur acervo,
Quo fruges animae capientur mox locupletes.
Praemia non quaerat, ni qui tolerando triumphat.
Dixit, et actutum lictorum torva vorago
Obstitit, et raptum tenebroso vinxit in antro.
</poem>
==XXXI. In carcere illustratur luce superna.==
<poem>
Qualem te, pastor, laetum tristemve fatebor?
Laetabare quidem te Christi post fore risten ( sic );
Flebas damna gregis pastorum verbere laesi.
Actu coenoso dum stringeris undique vallo,
133.1000D| Num solito non quivisti fulgore potiri?
Exacuere leves inimici frustra ligones,
Nequiquam ancipites inspicant acrius enses.
Tempestiva tibi funduntur lumina coelis,
Inviso properat consueta porismate [meatu] lampas,
Pervigil excubias Jesu dum solvis amatas.
Testis adest custos, ergastula saeva serenis
Inspiciens radiare focis in tempore noctis.
133.1001A| Quid minus a Petro, cui lumen fulserat arto?
Digne quidem parili posthac donabere serto,
Quem voto sequeris, quem tormentis imitaris.
Et ne desperes, aequo splendore nitescis.
</poem>
==XXXII. Pontificias litteras violari non patitur.==
<poem>
Interea multis vexatur fraudibus almos
Exsecrare apices, actusque probare feroces.
Vertex si capulo, dixit, caedatur acerbo,
Aut terebrent costas instantia pila tenellas;
Unum iota meo nunquam frustrabitur astu,
Quae sanxere Patres Petri documenta sequentes.
Sic legit fuscos primatum offendere vultus
Non et apostolicos consensit fallere ritus.
</poem>
==XXXIII. Praesidis uxorem pene exanimem sanat.==
<poem>
133.1001B| Carpitur inde gravi conjunx dilecta veterno
Praesidis, infaustas ha ha! procurantis habenas.
Corpore contrito, compagibus atque solutis,
Mortua contractis fluitabant viscera nervis.
Sensu pene carens, extis jam condolomatis
Grande viro scrupulum congesserat, extima vitae
Spectanti, dum praeteritae spiramina reddat.
Protrahit illa moras: tandem velociter artas
Vir supplex satagit sancto reserare catenas.
Fletibus haud modicis deposcit opem medicantis.
Ergo Pater, solito pietatis munere fisus,
Passibus approperat conferre juvamen anhelis.
Adfuit, et turbas removeri jussit adactas.
Hinc precibus fusis, perfudit viscera lymphis:
Mox rediit priscos vitalis fervor in artus.
133.1001C| Nil nocuere virum crudelia lora beatum:
Quin alacri vultu lucum remeavit in ipsum,
Nec puduit tetras iterum curare cavernas.
Praefecto cognomen erat quem diximus Osferd ( al. Osfred,)
Conjugis ereptae vocitamen dicitur Ebbae,
Post modicum sacro gaudebat condita velo.
</poem>
==XXXIV. Artius religatur, sed frustra. Solvitur.==
<poem>
At Praeses timidus, rerumque stupore coactus,
Malle pati propriae dixit dispendia vitae
Intimat, et saevo quam justum prodere regi
Isque tumens nimium praecipit acerbius illum
Compedibus rigidi damnatum carcere ferri
Stringere, mutata custodis sorte prioris.
Urgentur chalybes furcos aptare bicornes,
133.1001D| Et sterili funes nexare labore trilices,
Quis terrere queant athletae corda ligati.
Sed quo suppliciis animo mordacius instant,
Prorsus eo minimum se profecisse stupebant.
Nam quaecunque sacris nectebant vincula membris;
Aut diffusa cadunt, aut forte incongrua fiunt:
Artubus innocuis libertas cessit herilis.
O crudele genus! frustra contunditur incus.
O scelerata manus! quid prodest laedere corpus?
Non metuit jugulum, quem contremit indere lorum.
Digne satis gressus tremulae fugere catenae,
133.1002A| Pacifice qui currebant per competa vitae.
Ergo alacres pastor curans mitissimus agnos,
Lingua perdocuit, manibus baptismate tinxit.
</poem>
==XXXV. Regina ob sublatum reliquiarium punitur. Wilfrido liberato convalescit.==
<poem>
Oppida commissi verum dum marchio regni
Permeat, illecebras explens pompose caducas,
Ecce repentino turbantur gaudia casu.
Dum raptis etenim conjunx regalis abuti
Audet relliquiis, spirans typho impietatis;
Vindex ira subit, satan per viscera gannit:
Quem coluit petulans, hujus sit hospita bacchans.
Talibus attonitis accessit regia nutrix
Anne patent, inquit, veteris commissa piacli?
Extera Wilfridum violant ergastula justum:
133.1002B| At tua terrifico quatiuntur daemone membra.
Sprevisti emeritas Petri de culmine chartas:
Excipis en dignas irato judice poenas.
Capsaces [phylacteria] collo demsisti immunda verendo:
Nunc moribunda Baal vinciris et ipsa veruto.
Naribus immanes ceu fundens torridus ignes,
Rex aderat, quem sic genitrix affatur honesta:
Jam memor esto tui, loetargum subrue, fili,
Ultio dilectam profligat summa jugalem.
Sed tu sceptrigeram si vis augescere dextram,
Vincula solve viri, quoquam sine crimine nexi:
Et si fers animo, jubeas discedere regno.
Annuit invitus, patuit mox carcer apertus,
Reddidit et claram nubes densissima stellam.
133.1002C| Protinus immeritam sensit regina medelam.
</poem>
==XXXVI. Wilfridus liber deserit patriam. Palabundus adversariorum factione.==
<poem>
Excedens igitur patriam cognataque rura
Deserit, australesque petit velut advena terras.
Nobilis expulsum per devia quaeque viator
Obvius excepit, mundi quia summa potestas
Indefinito praefixerat omnia verbo,
Defore nil justis spondens pro se tribulatis.
Regia progenies Berthwaldus munere dives
Nec latuit: statimque furor hostilis inarsit.
Sed Pater a solito nunquam sudore fatiscens,
Instruxit gregibus monastica jura fugatis.
Jam fati tellure viri tunc invida pestis
Corda ducis zabuli praestrinxit hospitis apti,
133.1002D| Fratris Edilredi per Mercica regna decori,
Cujus in obsequio conjunx inimica manebat,
Ekfridi germana trucis tumidique tyranni.
Hi pulsare virum multo terrore serenum
Haud cessant, coguntque datam molimine pravo
Degenerare fidem. Sic compulit ire carentem
Hospitis auxilio, comitatum praeduce Christo.
Profecto alterius susceptus regis in aulis,
Femineas patitur instinctu daemonis iras.
Ermenburgis enim totius criminis altrix,
Cladibus, ut cecinit praemisso musa tenore,
133.1003A| Multimodis torsit tantum furibunda patronum:
Saeva soror cujus Centwine regia conjunx
Expulit indemnem nullum servata [servando] pudorem.
</poem>
==XXXVII. Ad Australes Saxones se recipit. Regem Edilwalk cum suis Christo lucratur. Coenobia construit.==
<poem>
Quid strides, peritura seges, aut sulfure averni
Perpete torreris? en aspernata probabis.
Ipse sibi patriam praesul non longe jacentem
Adquiret, nondum divino vomere scissam.
Non licuit cultis committere semina sulcis.
Anne vacat saltem steriles invertere glebas?
Non timet exsilium qui gestat pectore Christum.
Gens igitur quaedam, scopulosis indita terris,
133.1003B| Saltibus incultis, et densis consita dumis,
Non facilem propriis aditum praebebat in arvis:
Gens ignara Dei, simulacris dedita vanis.
Hanc adit intrepidus, sincero dogmate fretus,
Adsistensque duci, pertractat munia Christi.
Foedere complacito statim captatur ab ipso,
Non auri pretio, ferro non hostis avaro:
Juravit pactos nunquam dissolvere nodos.
Hinc passim sacris permulcet corcula verbis,
Lucratusque ducem feliciter, atque jugalem,
Emicuit mediis fax indefessa tenebris.
Delubra contritis pereunt velocius aris.
Nec doluit madidas subvertens augur acerras.
Dulcia divino funduntur mella canistro,
Tinguntur plebes sanctum baptisma petentes.
133.1003C| Rex quoque vivifica perfusus nobilis unda,
Praedia delegat, coenobia praesul adornat.
Edilwalch princeps vocitatus dicitur iste,
Wilfridi meritis qui novit coelica tempe.
</poem>
==XXXVIII. A Cedwala in regnum restituto excipitur in Westsaxoniam.==
<poem>
Teque canam, fugitive puer Cedvalla, negatis
Quem fudit sceptris nemoroso Ciltena [Westsaxonia] luco.
Audacem quippe Wilfrido subdere mentem,
Ut quires redhibere tui diademata regni,
Magnorum quaerens evadere fata malorum;
Crevisti patiens, rex fortis, ab exsule pasci.
Tempus post modicum fidei capis incrementum.
Nam vertex tremula quem dudum foverat ulva,
133.1003D| Praesulis auxilio rutilat cingente corona.
Tu quoque pontificem multa tellure ditasti.
Felix exsilium, quod poscit purpura regum!
Immo Pater felix, exsul pro foedere pacis!
</poem>
==XXXIX. Egfrido mortuo, redit in gratiam cum Theodoro.==
<poem>
Rumor tunc prodit, quia bello plura cruento
Agmina corruerant alterna caede vorata:
Ekfridusque feri percussus cuspide Picti,
Exsilio sanctos desivit trudere pravo.
Praeterea pastor Dorobernica claustra gubernans
Theodorus, damnare nefas in praesule quondam
133.1004A| Commissum cupiens, jamjam vergente senecta
Expetiit revocare virum sat inepte repulsum.
Ergo redit humilis, implens exacta prioris.
Hos inter praesul Erchenwaldus venerandus.
Accedunt terni verae funabula lucis,
Exorsusque dehinc senior Theodorus infit:
Poenitet en, Fili, quia tot tormenta subisti.
Ultima porro meae properant confinia vitae:
Tu quocunque modo deliqui, quaeso, remitte.
Terruerant animum Wilfridi gesta beatum.
Tum coelis oculos attollens, brachia terris,
Indulsit facinus, sicut praecepit Iesus.
Ergo solo strati, poscunt miseramina Christi.
Inque vicem culpis perfecto corde remissis,
Gaudebant lacrymis sobria de fronte profusis.

==XL. Aldfrido et aliis commendatur.==
<poem>
133.1004B|
Jam fasces regni, jam publica sceptra peremti
Sumserat Aldfridus. Mox pastor scripsit eous
Sedibus abreptis reddi debere beatum
Christi mathiten post tanta pericula sennem:
Ne contingat huic moriens quod pertulit Ekfrid,
Qui voluit dictum primus spoliare patronum.
Hoc et idem cunctis statim designat amicis
Aelflede, quae virgineo succincta pudore
Pascebat nitidas Jesu prudenter ovillas.
Tuque clientelae, princeps, memor esto cupitae.
Scripsit Edilredo cognato morte sopito,
Qui studuit toto Wilfridum pellere mundo.
Nunc age, communi si vivas optime voto,
133.1004C| Saepe meis, fateor, parebas phronyme [prudenter] dictis.
Jam quoque Pastoris extremos crede rogatus,
Ut tua praecluibus gliscens cuprepia [excellentia] sceptris,
Ardua Romulei servet praecepta vigoris,
Quae statuere Patres Petri vectigal alentes,
Agatho praecipuus, Benedictus, Sergius atque.
Dux etiam monitis arrisit protinus istis,
Summo ceu decuit servans in honore magistrum,
Usque sub extremam vitae frustrabilis horam.
</poem>
==XLI. Ab Aldfrido revocatur.==
<poem>
His ita consertis, Aldfridus stemmata regni
Non obscura gerens, Christi revocavit alumnum.
Certatim priscas possedit deinde casellas.
133.1004D| Pelluntur moechi, sedes vacuata patrono
Redditur: applaudunt cives felicia fantes.
Lucidus Ewroica [Eboraca] resplenduit axis in aula.
</poem>
==XLII. Aldfrido iterum vexante, rursus confugit ad Edilredum.==
<poem>
Felices populi tanto pastore potiti!
Vix tamen exiguo manserunt gaudia lustro.
Nam modicum trita viguit perversius hydra.
Ardescunt veteres crebris pulsatibus ignes,
Ecclesiae puppis vexatur dire procellis,
Cogitur et rursum nauclerus mittere clavum,
Anchora ni firma primum solidetur arena.
133.1005A| Rex etenim dictus, ligurum [ligurionum] ferrugine tinctus,
Distendit variis veracia stamina pullis,
Alternando vices; nunc Patris subditus alis,
Nunc mendosorum credens inventa virorum.
Ni fallor, fida titubans statione carebat.
Ast pater immotam quaerens servare carinam,
Maluit elatum regis differe tumorem.
Idcirco cessit, divisaque rura reliquit,
Impatiens sanctam scindi se praesule normam,
Arvaque commissis monachis collata revelli,
Nec metuens magni praeferre oracula Petri.
Mox Aedilredi repetens solium memorati,
Acceptus colitur placida sub rege quiete,
Explens officium multa pietate supernum.
</poem>
==XLIII. In concilium vocatus, paratas technas eludit.==
<poem>
133.1005B| Tantos post strepitus, quem non quivere molesta
Exsuperare fuga, nituntur fallere techna.
Denique collectim censura urgente ducali [regia]
Synodus astruitur, legatio menda jubetur
Caelibis accessum festino cogere gressu.
Concurrit facilis. Fratum tum saeva simultas
Undique stipatum fictis agitare querelis.
Machina non solido, sed mox interlita limo
Corruit, haud patiens vatem prognostica fantem
Lincea namque viro fuerant oculamino tanto:
Immo prophetales ad hoc potaverat haustus,
Internos etiam quo posset cernere nisus.
Tandem vafrinos blandis suggestibus astus
Increpitans, Italas suadebat credere chartas.
Ethnica sed nullis molliri corda lagonis [ sic ]
133.1005C| Cedebant, virusque tegunt sub mente nocivum.
</poem>
==XLIV. Non vult sponte pontificatum abdicare. Romam iterum appellat.==
<poem>
Praeterea juvenis divini fautor honesti,
Expertus causas in sanctum aptare sinistras,
Accessit, regis dirum patefecit amentum,
Toxica letiferae volitant quo tela pharetrae.
Nec etenim puduit dicacem audire fidelem,
Qui mox exposuit, celer intra palatia repsit.
Summi stans igitur ducis inter castra perennis
Excipit horrisonas illaeso parmate fundas,
Nec potuit validis penetrari pelta sagittis.
Instabant etenim violento famine agentes,
Se Pater ut proprio vellet dispungere voto,
133.1005D| Indignumque sacris se judicet esse gerendis.
O malesuada cohors! o fraus! o sanctio discors!
Non eris immunis poenae, non criminis exsors.
Ipse quidem solitos gaudet perferre labores:
Tu Phlegeton subies, Erebum manesque pavesces.
Insignita piis tunc aperit ora loquelis.
Ecce quaterdenos, dicens, vexilla per annos
Intemerata tuli verae per cuncta Fidei,
Barrida [procacia] pravicolae quis stravi examina turbae,
Inclyta censurae servans invictus eoae
Famina, non falso ceu garrit pollice sculpta,
Mens inimica suo mox defectura veneno.
Nunc quia compellor, Petri discrimine purgor.
133.1006A| Non formido minas, exenia nulla capesso:
Meque meo nunquam vobis mucrone litabo.
Haec Pater oravit, plebeium jusque refellit.
</poem>
==XLV. Ad Edilredum redit.==
<poem>
Solvitur infandum Jesu vincente coagmen,
Enituitque bonum praestantis praesulis omen.
Sic Aedilredi valvas repetivit hiantes,
Explanatque duci sceleris commenta maligni.
Isque benignivolam firmans in praesule curam,
Edixit priscum nullo frustramine foedus
Vellere, apostolica donec remearet ab aula.
</poem>
==XLVI. Romam revisit.==
<poem>
Verum discordes flagrant ardentius irae.
Et quas Christicolis pastor fundaverat aedes,
Nisibus efferis averruncare parabant.
133.1006B| Extorres stavunt [ an statuunt] agio incassum palinodo,
Quos sacer electis gradibus formarat adelphos,
Dulsos coenosi lychinos audititi destos.
At pia ventilabro Christi sententia justo
Efflavit paleas, cocyti ardore cremandas,
Condivitque bonam coeli per horrea frugem.
Nam pater ipse greges et ovilia cara revisens
Ingemit, et precibus Domino commendat anhelis.
Aggressusque dehinc Romani pervia callis,
Ingreditur partas opulento remige lintres.
Carpebant placida libratis aequora velis,
Figitur et notis vehemens lautomia arenis.
Oblitas igitur peragrantes commode terras,
Divino comites potabat fonte fideles.
133.1006C| Non errare licet, non manticulare necesse est,
Gratia quos tanti servat ductoris opima.
Is etenim largas, quamvis devotus egeret,
Impensas eleis [liberalibus] palmis fundebat apertis.
Quapropter, ceu praecinuit Davitica psaltes,
Justa manebit ei vitae farrago perennis.
Transmissis tandem Jovialibus aeque cavernis,
Macarii penetrant rutilantia dindyma Petri,
Qua renitebat ovans summa virtute Joannes.
Affines moti festinant Euge per urbem.
Astipulant modulis comto sistemate, cerus [sacer]
Aedituusque graves oppandit agillimus aedes.
Introiit praesul testudine fultus opaca,
Qui tellure cubans unca suffragine suda [flexo poplite]
Mille piis instillat aquis, vi denique sancta
133.1006D| Coelica summorum reseravit claustra polorum.
Indidit aequisonas divinis auribus odas.
Oratu surgens, famulantum rite catervis
Ambitur, siccatque genas, suspiria pressat.
Ast ubi complacuit, sacra archisteria [templum] scandit.
Pontificum praesul, necnon et concio gaudet
Pistica [fidelis], Tarpeioque ruens de colle senectus.
Intestina Pater postquam dyrrachia [discidia] planxit,
Ad vicina redit lentis habitacula plantis.
</poem>
==XLVII. Causam agit apud Papam, prolatis litteris apostolicis.==
<poem>
Interea scriptis legatio cassa modernis.
133.1007A| Berthwaldi de sorte ruit, puerile volumen
Opponens tanto nequiquam certe Patrono.
Ausoniae coeunt Graiae, mox atque soritae
Vestibulo cursim priscorum scita revolvunt.
Protinus admisso micuit syntagma berillo.
Ut jubar introiit, jubaris ceu nectar opimi
Protulit effevum ( sic ) liquido flavore libellum
Hisce characteribus. Christi tunc inquit alumnus:
Nulla damus patriae, fateor, discidia nostrae.
Non reges, non tristatas, regumve clientes,
Matris ad eximiae gremium concurrere gratis.
Elegi collata prius mihi jura probare.
Non ignota cano, vobis praecognita narro,
Jura dedere Patres Romanum stemma regentes.
Testis adest hujus sanctae periergia sedis,
133.1007B| Haec quia non sprevi, nam nec spernenda putavi.
Collatis carui crebris populatibus agris.
En qui me sensu graviter lymphante sequuntur,
Norunt si qua meo vitiamine rupta vicissim
Objectare queunt, vestro lustrabor ab ore.
Non ego pompisonis adii pretiosa lupatis [frenis]
Moenia, nec gilvis phalerato stromate mannis (equis tolutaribus:
Prosequor at nudus nudi vestigia Petri.
Posteritas sancite quibus subsistat amica
Legibus, et priscas nolite revellere chartas.
Obstipuere ( sic ) Patres haec sic fore [esse] comminiscentes.
Hac dixere pharo mundi rudis arsit origo,
Rabula nec deerit quo mens veneranda nitebit
133.1007C| Talia labentis patiuntur spargana vitae
Aemula, nec tardat spiris agitare malignis
Actio pravorum vitam moresque proborum.
Conquirenda tamen hujusce refragia sectae.
Et quamvis odiis proscriptus physiculatis [naturalibus]
Protinus arbitrio, Wilfride, piabere nostro.
Nec Romana prius falsi pilotria ( sic ) testes
Excedent, justas donec pro crimine poenas
Jure luant, discantque viro deferre probato.
Iste quidem Latias olim lallando papillas,
Pavit Christicolas multo dulcore catervas.
Oravere Patres: testatur et ipse Joannes (papa),
Haec dicens: Nullo morietur lampada fungo.
Insidiae veteres dormiscant ocius omnes.
Desipiunt hebetes tetrico moerore furentes.
133.1007D| Wilfridum damnare nefas: qui, sicuti torris,
Ereptus magno manet incombustus ab igne.
Ut petrus Christi, sic hic vestigia Petri
Percolit, aequoreis nunquam timefactus in undis.
Degeneres populi quid prodest velle beari?
Virtus si qua placet, patriis pepulistis ab oris.
En rutilum liquido summae virtutis agalma.
Sint rata quae sanxit, non haec obliteret usquam
Aut regalis apex, aut ecclesiasticus ordo.
Nobiscum sapiat, qui Christi stigmata gestat,
Ne ferale chaos evitandamque mephitim
133.1008A| Sentiscat rigidi retrusus in ima barathri.
Quidquid neutericis confinxit apocrypha biblis,
Cassetur priscis legatio censeo dictis.
Quis duo-quindecies, denos pariter quoque quinos,
Elogio archontes queat infamare maligno?
His coram fidei vir hic confessus honorem,
Extunc vitali merito craxatus [inscriptus] in albo,
Certis exspectat coelestia dona diebus,
Ut re percipiat, quod spe patienter et optat.
Huic qui dissentit, nimis, inquam, prorsus ineptit.
'' ( Sequentia, quae in ms. codice Corbeiensi desunt ex codice Cottonianae bibliothecae supplevit Mabillonius. )''
Haec eadem sacris jusserunt indere libris,
More cleanteo solitis bullata sigillis,
Regibus et clero mittentes, atque popello,
133.1008B| Ut dirimant odii crudelia jurgia prisci.
Et dixere Patri post oscula frontis aquosae:
Pacificus redeas; subjectis gaudia reddas;
Terris atque polis Jesu cleronomus [haeres] esto.
</poem>
==XLVIII.==
<poem>
Devictis igitur falsi latoribus astus,
Pignere sanctorum multa quoque glore venustus,
Deserit Ausonias multis comitantibus oras.
Alpinosque petit, quo Celtica permeet arva.
Praeteriens notos pedetentim transit Alanos:
Tandem pacatos devenit ad usque Sicambros.
Hinc vexatur acri per singula membra veterno:
Nec quibat metas pedibus tranare cupitas.
Fertur equo primum; post haec gestamine fratrum,
Vocibus et toto pastorum corde dolentum;
133.1008C| Muratamque vehunt dilectum pondus ad urbem
Semianimem insueto componunt debite stratu:
Perculsique metu, quidnam contingat in actu
Exspectare timent, mortis formidine pressi.
Octonis etenim bis forte quaterque vigenis
Decubuit horis, pastus fraglamine mentis
Corporis aut escis, aut qualibet arte liquoris.
Demum cum quinti spirarent lumina solis,
Mittitur e summo (dictu mirabile!) coelo
Archanus Michael, nitido lampabilis ore;
Quem Pater intendens, non ut fantasma repellens,
Ceu stilbonta [splendentem], novum lumen, veneratur amicum.
Surgito concivis, nostri non portio vilis:
133.1008D| Et licei astricolas inter numerere catervas,
Inquit, ab orbatis jam nunc revocaberis agnis.
Postquam bis binis fratres solidaveris annis;
Cum mercede bona temet revocabo, sed insta
Christotochae dignas aedes fabricare Mariae:
Cujus amore tibi cumulantur certius anni.
Novit quid Petro, Petri quid solvis adelpho.
Continuo sanctos subiit vigor integer artus:
Angelicum superam numen recucurrit ad aethram.
Surgitur, et tristes renovantur digne sodales.
O defesse, sagax curat quem coelica pinax:
133.1009A| Et quia pellacis vitasti gaudia saecli,
Cum numero vitae meruisti praemia summae.
</poem>
==XLIX.==
<poem>
Oceani tumidas exhinc remeavit ad undas,
Gurgitis et vasti circumflua terga repressit.
Cantia complacito patuerunt litora rastro.
Jussit apostolicum Berthwaldo ferre libellum,
Suscipit, ut decuit; Patris praecepta peregit.
Hinc divi [ f., divus] petiit, supra quem musa revolvit,
Laetus Edilredi petulas fidentius aulas.
Cui retulit cessim: laetantur et ambo vicissim.
</poem>
==L.==
<poem>
Approperans ergo, laesus cunctamine nullo,
Aldfrido regi direxit epistile [epistolam] Petri.
133.1009B| Illicitum sapuit, non hoc sat juste recepit
Protulit ambages, sicut fecere priores:
Nolens directis veneramen ferre loquelis.
Quocirca meritum tulit immature periclum.
Ultrices etenim patiens in corpore poenas,
Cernere collibuit, quem dudum languide sprevit
Multaque conjiciens obiit, male gesta recensens
Testibus adhibitis se reddere velle negatis,
Si Domini auxilium vitae daret accumulatum.
Suscepit vacuas Aedwilf virosus habenas,
In sanctum furias exercens immoderatas:
Inque brevi periit, violento cive repulsus.
</poem>
==LI.==
<poem>
Ut patriae curam susceptet rite tuendam,
Filius ascitur Alhdfridi saepe relati.
133.1009C| Qui gravitate proba, Wilfridi subditus ala,
Dilexit nimium, quia noverat esse beatum;
Is jussit proprii quantum tenet orbita regni;
Et coiere simul, Berthwaldo jure calante [vocante]
Tunc Patris alloquio rex censuit, omnis et ordo,
Servent ut pariter Wilfridi dogma verenter:
Pacis et Angligenae firmantur foedere gentes.
</poem>
==LII.==
<poem>
Ex hinc convaluere nimis diorismata [definitiones] fortis
Athletae, pereuntque mali sophismata civis;
Germinis hydrei penitus tenuata cicatrix;
Additur atque bonis virtus apodictica (demonstrativa) victrix.
133.1009D| Ipse per obliquas pastor gradiens regiones,
Ut mater dociles doctrino lacte refovit;
Ut pater ignaros sobria succensuit [increpavit] ira
Ad lucis patriam cunctos metaliter hortans.
Praescivit porro Michaelis adesse profatum:
Optabatque gravem Silicernius adfore mortem.
Corruit, et subitus perclusit limmata [consilia] morbus
Agmina pullatis coeunt vernacula birris;
Commeat et toto vulgus miserabile ciclo.
Fit formido gravis, ne forte recedat ab illis.
133.1010A| Fratribus at plaudas Jesu recinentibus odas,
Substitit, et laeta sospes perfunditur aura.
</poem>
==LIII.==
<poem>
Hactenus excolicum quanto sudore sacellum
Emerit exposui; numnam miracula quibo?
Ennea si melico chelim mihi carmine tangant,
Septenasque jugem [geminem] ciclico dulcore sorores
Aut sim magniloqui multus sectator Homeri;
Non plane absolvam: dictis jam cedo quibusdam.
Quos etenim daemon rabida possederat ira,
Effusis precibus fidei virtute resolvit:
Et queis debilitas artus devinxerat atra;
Aut oculo frustrans, aut linguae murmure damnans;
Aut gressus prohibens, aut reumate pectora stringens;
133.1010B| Et sensu demtos, et morbi tabe peraesos.
Ut frater congrex, scelerum, sicut patet, offex (impeditor),
Circumfusa means docet agmina Christicolarum,
Vivifici tetra plastica dat theoremata verbi,
Noviter increpitans pigrum decus Archiliorum [tribunos].
Haec ita sollerti perfecerat undique cura.
Sensit olympiadam dudum finirier auctam,
Et metamorphosin praesagit adesse cupitam.
Nec minus ipse tamen refovens normaliter omnes.
Aethralem vitam testatur jure sequendam.
Quid tricor dictis? dabitur nunc his quoque finis
Credo quidem scriptis: ut mors, dilectio fortis.
</poem>
==LIV.==
<poem>
Crebis ergo virum febribus pulsatibus almum,
133.1010C| Concurrunt monachi virtutum munere macti:
Agmine pastorem tantum cinxere globoso.
His ita consaeptus, caput extulit, atque ita dixit:
Pullulet in vobis divini gratia roris.
Vos equidem, fratres, pridem revocatis euntem.
Parcite jam, quaeso, superum jam scandere regnum
Me juvat, et fragili praejudico carne resolvi.
Non vobis ultra forma conjungar in ista,
Donec mundanas turbent elementa tenebras.
Visibus et Domini praesens sit machina mundi.
Muscipulos nostis quos obicit aemulus hostis,
Illicibus quaerens animos vitiare figuris.
Ingerit incestos lascivis spebus amores.
Tunc oculos pulcris vanos illudit idaeis,
133.1010D| Aures et blandis demulget saepius arpis.
Ut fraudem doceat, largissima lucra ministrat.
Haec monui semper, haec vobis ipse frequenter
Opposui, nolite moras inferre migranti.
Urgeor, o defungar, et, o fratres, vigilate,
Pyr Flegeton calida ne vos absorbeat unda.
Haec ait, et durae constravit membra quieti.
Spiritus ergo viri Michael repetente beati,
Vimineo condens corpus Kyriale canistro
Exhausit vitro vitalem digne cruorem,
133.1011A| Inter moerentes, orantes, opperientes
Evasit volucer, carnis ceromate [visco] liber.
</poem>
==LV.==
<poem>
Postquam membra sacro tumularunt sacra sepulcro,
Indusias sumsere sibi fratres venerandi:
Interulamque puer sancti sudore madentem
Corripuit, normatrici [abbatissae] tulit atque beatae,
Quam sibi flamineo [velo] sociaverat apte verendo
Egregius heros, redimitam castificando.
Hanc adit organico membris deserta vigore
Clinica, suppliciter poscens se tangere posse.
Pavit secretum depromere virgo fidele.
Tandem compatiens miserae subnixe petenti,
Vinxit aquis vestem, meruit quibus illa salutem.
133.1011B| Post haec bachantes dementi pectore quidam,
Vulcanum [ignem] tecto, quo transiit ille, adhibebant.
Sed vis defuncti viventem terruit ignem:
Saevos mitificans, virtutis et omina monstrans.
Annua bis senos confecerat orbita menses,
133.1012A| Subsidibus patris ex omni regione coactis,
Cum miranda nimis fulserunt signa sub astris.
Quaerebant etenim quis tot pastore vacantes
Excipiat caulas, et ovilia tanta reservet.
Hesperus aeriis sed jam densaverat umbras,
Pernox cura fratrum cum coelum respicit altum.
Emicuit cyclus tenebrosa per astra coruscus
Ceu matutinos igniret Phosphorus ortus.
Canduit hic radius monachum coenobia circum
Officiose, vias visus liquisse polinas.
Hinc patuit, Domini quia constat vinea firmis
Oratu Wilfridi aevum stabilita gigantis.
Mox apopempaeo grates persolvere summo
Accelerant, nomenque Patris constanter honorant.
Fistula rurestris cecinit prothemata cavis,
133.1012B| Callosas cani Meligor velut excola sannas,
Enervi trutinans exotica docmina [dogmata] plectro.
Nunc oleate mihi faveas industrius Odo.
Ut natum retuli stemma tum maxime clusi.
Non epistasin capit, ecstasinque veretur.
Pagina, Lector, ave: tibi caetera carpe tuapte.

==Observationes praeviae.==
133.0979A| Plures Wilfridum, eo nomine primum Eboracensem episcopum, scriptis suis celebravere auctores. In primis Beda Venerabilis res ab eo gestas describit in variis Historiae suae locis, maxime in lib. III, cap. 25, et lib. V, cap. 20. Bedae aequalis accedit Eddi seu Heddius, cognomento Stephanus, qui librum de Vita sancti Wilfridi composuisse fertur apud Joannem Pitseum aliosque recentiores. « Is fuit invitatus de Cantia a reverendissimo viro Wilfrido, ut primus post Jacobum cantandi magister Nortanhumbrorum Ecclesiis esset, » teste Beda in Historiae lib. IV, cap. 2; qua ex consuetudine Wilfridi gesta certo rescire potuit. Post Heddium occurrit Fridegodus, cui Odo Cantuariensis episcopus Vitam ejusdem sancti heroico metro texere praecepit. Legerat Willelmus Malmesburiae monachus eam Fridegodi scriptionem, de qua hoc profert judicium in lib. I de Pontificibus Cantuariensibus: « Exsecutus est id munus Fridegodus quidam versibus non improbandis: 133.0979B| nisi quod latinitatem perosus, graecitatem amat, Graecula verba frequentat, ut merito dictis ejus aptetur illud Plautinum:
Haec quidem praeter Sybillam leget nemo. Huic lucubrationi manum admovit Fridegodus statim post Wilfridi reliquiarum translationem in Ecclesiam Cantuariensem. Ipse etiam Odo, qui Ecclesiae Cantuariensi praefuit ab anno 834 in annos quatuor et viginti, Wilfridi gesta descripsisse perhibetur ab Eadmero. Eadmerus vero seu Edmerus monachus, Anselmo Cantuariensi pontifici a secretis, id postea praestitit anno 1121. Sic enim praefixa habet inscriptio codicis manu exarati bibliothecae Cottonianae: Vita sancti Wilfridi archiepiscopi per Eadmerum Cantuariensem anno MCXXI. Res ab se descriptas in exordio et in fine approbat « auctoritate venerabilium virorum Odonis archiepiscopi et Bedae 133.0980A| presbyteri » , nulla Heddii aut Fridegodi mentione facta, tametsi Fridegodi ipsissima verba non raro usurpat. Unde suspicio injicitur num Fridegodi fetum Odoni, qui hortator operis fuit, supponat. Sed tamen ex prologo ipsius Odonis, quem Eadmerus in fine Vitae ab se compositae citat, aliam Odonis a Fridegodi lucubratione fuisse conjectura est. Eadmeri fragmentum de translatione corporis sancti Wilfridi recitat Gervasius Dorobernensis monachus in libro De combustione et reparatione Dorobernensis ecclesiae; quod fragmentum ex alio Eadmeri opere desumptum est. Eadmeri aequalis fuit Willelmus Malmesburiae monachus, qui itidem facta sancti Wilfridi recantavit in libro secundo de Pontificibus Anglorum, ubi de episcopis Eboracensibus. Post eos omnes Petrus Blesensis, archidiaconus Bathoniensis, librum de Vita sancti Wilfridi composuit, eumque Galfrido Eboracensi archiepiscopo dedicavit, uti legitur in Monastico anglicano, pag. 172, ubi fragmentum 133.0980B| ex eodem Petro adducitur. His omnibus annumerandi sunt Anglorum scriptores, in his Thomas Stubbesius in libro de Episcopis Eboracensibus, quorum catalogus vetustus exstat apud Labbeum in tomo I Bibliothecae novae, pag. 322. Ex praedictis auctoribus obvii quibusque sunt Beda et Willelmus.

Wilfridi diem natalem exprimunt tum Martyrologia recentiora, tum vulgata Bedae historia IV Idus Octobris; tametsi haec verba intrusa sunt in textum Bedae, quae apud Abrahamum Whelocum intra parenthesim conclusa, desunt in exemplari nostro Germanensi, uti et in Aluredi versione Saxonica. Dies certe praedictus est translationis, quo teste Eadmero corpus sancti Wilfridi decentiori loco repositus a Lanfranco est. At quo tandem die vir sanctus ad superos migravit, silent Vitae scriptores omnes, unus inter vetustos fastorum sacrorum conditores designat diem VIII Kal. Maii, is nempe qui 133.0981A| nomine Bedae vulgatus est metrici Martyrologii auctor in tomo X Spicilegii, his versibus:

Astrigerum octavis veneranter scandit olympum,
Quoque die praesul penetravit Wilfridus alma,
Angelico vectus coetu trans sidera coeli.

Celebrior tamen videtur fuisse solemnitas translationis IV Idus Octob., ut patet ex titulo quem Eadmerus post Prologum Vitae praeposuit.

Monachi vitam ab anno aetatis quarto decimo egit Wilfridus, et regulam sancti Benedicti mirifice propagavit. Quo vero in loco monasticum susceperit habitum, non ita liquet. Et primo quidem annos natus quatuordecim apud Lindisfarnenses monachos diligenter « ea quae monasticae castitatis ac pietatis erant, et discere curabat et agere » inquit Beda in lib. V cap. 19: « Necdum quidem attonsus, verum eis qui tonsura majores sunt virtutibus, humilitatis et obedientiae, non mediocriter insignitus. In quo 133.0981B| monasterio cum aliquot annos Deo serviret animadvertit minime perfectam esse virtutis viam, quae tradebatur a Scotis: proposuitque animo venire Romam, et qui ad sedem apostolicam ritus ecclesiastici sive monasteriales servarentur, videre. » Illic perfectam vitae monasticae, hoc est Benedictinae, adeptus normam, reversus Lugdunum a Dalfino seu Annemundo loci episcopo tonsus est. Postea Alchfridus, Oswii Nortanhumbrorum regis filius. Wilfridum in Britanniam regressum « virum, ait Beda, doctissimum, magistrum habuit eruditionis Christianae. Hujus doctrinam omnibus Scotorum traditionibus jure praeferendam sciebat: unde ei etiam donaverat monasterium quadraginta familiarum in loco qui dicitur in HRipum. » Haec Beda in lib. III cap. 25, ubi Wilfridum abbatem consequenter appellat, ut proinde monastica insignia eo in monasterio suscepisse dicendus sit; paulo post ab Agilberto Gallo, occidentalium Saxonum episcopo, in praefato suo monasterio 133.0981C| presbyter factus rogatu Alchfridi. Scotis in synodo Streaneshalensi confutatis, in monasterium Lindisfarnense, ubi Scoti monachi degebant, monachos nostros induxit. Unde ipse apud Willelmum gloriatur, quod primus in Nortanhumbria « verum Pascha Scotis ejectis docuerit, et sanctissimi Benedicti regulam a monachis observari jusserit. » Complura aedificavit coenobia, « HRipense, Hagustaldense » in suo ipsius episcopatu; alia in Cantuariensi; Seleseiense apud australes Anglos, et alia in regno Merciorum. Huc spectant epitaphii ejus hi versus:

Inque locis istis monachorum examina crebra

Sedulus instituit. Quo in loco regula sancti Benedicti, quam Wilfridus tum in Britannia, tum Romae didicit et excoluit, Regula Patrum appellatur, uti et diserte apud Ambrosium Autpertum in libro De Vita sancti Paldonis abbatis et successorum. 133.0981D|

Ad seriem gestorum Wilfridi quod attinet, natus est anno 634 aut insequenti siquidem obiit anno 709, annos natus septuaginta quinque. Adolescens annorum quatuordecim Lindisfarnense monasterium petiit, ibi aliquot annos moraturus. Inde Romam petiit anno circa 653, paulo ante aut certe paulo post mortem Honorii Cantuariensis episcopi, quam eo anno reponit Beda in lib. III cap. 20. Annis fere 133.0982A| quatuor tum in Lugduni mora, tum Romae exactis, reversus in Britanniam HRipense monasterium aedificat et abbatis nomine administrat. Anno prope 660 Colmannum, Scotorum antesignanum, refutat in synodo Streaneshalensi, tametsi Beda in lib. III cap. 26 signat annum 664. Verum Beda non satis sibi constat, dum eo loci scribit Agilbertum episcopum Gallum huic synodo interfuisse, ejusque jussu Wilfridum, adhuc presbyterum Colmanno restitisse; et tamen Wilfridum episcopum ordinatum esse anno ipso 664 Compendii in Gallia, ex cap. 28, ab Agilberto jam Parisiorum episcopo, qui finita ac soluta concione domum, id est in proprium episcopatum, quem apud occidentales Saxones obtinebat, rediisse dicitur cap. 26. Certe in Epitome Saxonica, Bedae Historiae subjecta, Agilbertus « anno 660 abiisse a Kenwalchio, et Parisiorum episcopatum in Galliis ad Sequanam flumen suscepisse » perhibetur. Wilfridus anno 664 ordinatus 133.0982B| episcopus Eboracensis, cum ex Gallia reversus didicisset Ceaddam Ecclesiae suae consecratum episcopum, secessit in HRipense monasterium. Dein a Wlfario Merciorum rege accitus, postea venit in Cantiam, ibique « presbyteros et diaconos ordinavit, usquedum Theodorus adveniret, » ex Bedae lib. III cap. 28, et lib. IV cap. 2, a quo Ceadda Eboraco pulsus, et Wilfridus in sede sua institutus. Anno 670 Oswius rex Nortanhumbrorum cum Romam ire vellet, Wilfridum itineris ducem sibi fieri rogaverat; sed re infecta moritur, apud Bedam in lib. IV cap. 5. « Anno 673 » Wilfridus concilio Heorutfordensi, Theodoro praesidente, « per proprios legatarios adfuisse » membratur ibidem. « Anno 677 orta inter ipsum et Egfridum regem dissensione, pulsus idem antistes a sede sui episcopatus, et duo in locum ejus substituti episcopi, Bosa, qui Deirorum, et Eata, qui Berniciorum provinciam gubernaret, » cap. 12. Interim Wilfridus post biennium Romam pergit causam dicturus. Confecta re provinciam australium 133.0982C| Saxonum convertit ad Christum, ac Seleseiense monasterium aedificavit, favente Edilwacho rege: ac Ceadwala itidem conspirante Vectae insulae populum Christianis institutis imbuit cap. 16. Anno 687, post mortem Cuthberti Lindisfarnensis episcopi, episcopatum Ecclesiae « illius anno uno servabat venerabilis antistes Wilfridus, donec eligeretur qui pro Cuthberto antistes ordinari deberet, » cap. 29. « Post longum exsilium, » annorum videlicet amplius decem, « in episcopatum Hagustaldensis Ecclesiae receptus » est ex lib. V cap. 3. « Anno secundo ( malim duodecimo) Aldfridi, qui post Egfridum regnavit, » alius ab Alchfrido, id est anno 697, « sedem suam et episcopatum, ipso rege invitante, recepit. Sed post quinque annos denuo accusatus ab eodem ipso rege et plurimis episcopis, praesulatu pulsus est, veniensque Romam » anno circa 703, a Joanne papa absolutus repedavit in Galliam. Meldis ad extrema vitae redactus, inducias annorum quinque 133.0982D| a Deo meruit. Postea in concilio Niddensi restitutus principio regni Ofredi Aldfridi filii, id est anno 705, mortuus est anno ejusdem Ofredi regis quarto, « post quadraginta et quinque annos episcopatus. » teste Beda in lib. V cap. 20, et quidem VIII Kal. Maii anni 709 ineuntis. Certe « quindecies ternos episcopus annos egisse » perhibetur in epitaphio suo apud Bedam relato.
INCIPIT PRAEFATIO.
==Praefatio.==

<poem>
Inscius aegregios aegris conatibus actus
Ordior en, mutilum quo fert fiducia sensum.
Ausibus infidis aderit sed calculus ignis,
Forcipe vatidicum solitus purgare labellum.
133.0982D| Cunctipotens opifex, arcani pandulus index,
Spiritus internis animans dulcoribus antra,
Cordis amara mei, ne quid displodat inepti
Lingua tenax justi, quo non fervente serenas
Efficit haud Phoebus taedas aut Cynthia parcas.
133.0983A| Saecla priora quidem, lubrico phantasmate lusa,
Excoluere suos vano terrore tyrannos.
At postquam summi voluit regnator Olympi,
Virginis intactae talamos invisere gratis;
Dissepsit varios eliso principe lurcos,
Perque crucis lignum legis solvit maledictum.
Astriferas ubi glorificus recucurrit ad arces,
Praesens ipse suis jugiter cultoribus almum
Nubibus e summis direxit splendide Flatum.
Isque quater ternos ignita luce clientes
Imbuit et dignis numerum successibus auxit.
133.0984A| Hujus inexhaustae praedulcia pocula venae
Sensit Wilfridus fama super ardua notus:
Est votum nobis, si suppetat auctor herilis,
Nomen et elatas cujus depromere palmas.
Huc ades, o formose, Dei per climata testis.
Namque, fatebor enim, tua me pellexit honestas,
Scilicet indulcanda modis odisque canoris:
Coelo vita micans, terris oratio praestans.
Ergo age deciduas precibus suppleto loquelas,
Affer praesidium, ne sit sub falce ruendum.
INCIPIT VITA.

Tellus aequoreis circum gyratur ab undis,
Multipetax olim scelerum cultrixque deorum,
Anglicus extruso colit hanc anhleta [ an athleta] Britanno.
Hujus in occiduis convexi partibus orbis
Naturae solitum Wilfridus pertulit ortum.
Anxia dum genitrix parit hunc connixa sub umbris,
Flammivomis lampas radiis praesaga futuri
Coelitus enituit. Vicinia protinus omnis
Praepete concurrit nutanti pectore gressu,
Ignis edax socii subeat ne culmina tecti.
Haerent immoti, nondum miracula Christi
Amplexare cati [ i. e. docti], cum non stupuere cremari.
Est, aiunt, papae! divini numinis omen.
133.0983C| Interea taciti muliebri murmure discunt
Fortunata viri, quoniam nascentis imago
Tali promeruit donari forte sacello.
Hac face laetiferas pepulit puer iste tenebras
Cordibus e multis, gliscens virtutibus almis.
</poem>
==II. Pie institutus, noverca relicta, palatium petit, dein monasterium sub Cudda.==
<poem>
Jam quia mellito dulcescit nectare guttur,
Prosequar arguta juvenem modulando cicuta.
Hic membris etenim comto glaucomate firmis,
Aequaevos habitu studuit superare venusto,
Nil puerile gerens: facundae munia linguae
Aspirante Deo gestis explebat apertis.
At perfecta virum postquam perfecerat aetas,
Natales statuit functa genitrice penates
133.0983D| Linquere et assiduis Domino famuliarier horis.
Quartum post decimum jamjam transegerat annum,
Immitis furias malens vitare novercae,
Cum sociis cessit sueta comitate decoris
Armatus properans juvenis, ceu nobile germen
Nobilium: sed operta fides umbone latebat.
Inde patris dextra pie commendatus avita,
Aulica perspicuis penetravit pergama plantis,
Insignis populi qua tempestate regebat
Dux praeclara nimis Aeonfled cognomine habenas.
133.0984B| Hujus magnificis actutum vultibus almus
Offertur multoque dehinc lepore beatur,
Acceptus cunctis fidei pollebat in actis.
Ac tum fortuitu memorandae Cudda senectae,
Vir probus ingenio, regum meritoque satelles,
Lubrica coenosi postponens gaudia saecli,
Maluit angustae certamen inire palaestrae,
Normalis sese dedans sub regimine vitae.
Is juvenem sacro suscepit amore docendum.
Exin tiro Dei fultus fervore fidei,
Ut verus Samuhel servabat jura magistri,
Fratribus aequali cunctis subjectus amore.

==III. Romam peregrinatur; ab Ercomberto detinetur quadriennio.==
<poem>
Jam gravis electam purgarat sarcina mentem,
133.0984C| Excoctumque diu solito flagramine pectus
Concipit internas Jesu spirante salebras.
A virtute volens virtutis in alta migrare,
Romuleum statuit concurrere gratis ad altar,
Scilicet ut veteris lustraret busta piacli,
Augmentumque suis quiret conquirere votis
Haec pia praefato narravit sensa magistro.
Archades hinc ambo voto statuere sub uno,
Culmen apostolicum peteret, creperumque piaret.
Et regina quidem faustum conferre levamen
Praetaxata volens, regi mandata propinquo
Dirigit ac Domini placidum committit alumnum.
Erchumbertus erat, plebis qui sceptra tenebat.
Hic sine fraude virum coluit, sine peste refecit.
Tandem triquadro postquam servaverat anno,
133.0984D| Pluribus emisit sociis fretum duce quodam,
Barbaries Biscop Baducing quem inculta vocabat.
Prospera flabra virum litus jecere sub aptum.
Gallica rura petit, Lugduni culmina scandit.
Mox juga corripuit, comitum deliquia sensit,
A duce deseritur, Christi tamen ore locatur.
</poem>
==IV. Lugduni a Dalwino.==
<poem>
Tibia veriloquo cecinit miracula plectro:
Vis tamen innatae reticet haud mystica musae
133.0985A| Pangere magnificas athletae nobilis odas.
Moenia praefatae praesul memorabilis urbis
Christicolamque gregem septis servabat amoenis,
Francorum Dalwinus adeps: qui sicuti furvas
Pallenti lychino depellit rite tenebras.
Postquam fama volans pulsavit praesulis aures,
Accit continuo, praebens solamina justo,
Excipit hospitio, dapibus fovet oreque mulcet.
Praesensit quippe praecordia casta juventae,
Illustrisque viri faciem perfecte micantem.
Heus, inquit, hospes, mecum sis perpete sospes.
Dum juvat, uberibus pro votis utere glebis,
Farris et excreti communis copia vini.
Si vero consueta placent connubia forte,
Ne differre pares: generosi sanguinis altam
133.0985B| Immensis opibus cognatam trado puellam;
Meque patrem tibimet, temet mihi dedico prolem.
Haec placidus heros exprompserat ore jocundo.
Tiro dehinc agilis voti non immemor infit:
Ardent excoctis fibrarum omenta laternis,
Abdita conceptis dum detrahor, optime, votis.
Tethys cur tumidas Zephyro minitante salivas
Expetii? Frustra me saeva salacia pressit,
Cosmica si spreto repetam contagia Christo.
Sedis apostolicae viso primum cliothetro,
Aeria merear si longule vescier aura,
Te, pater, ex animo soboles devota videbo.
His ita compactis, opibus pro velle paratis,
Praesulis auxilio perrexit calle secundo.

<poem>

Quamvis informi Terpsicore paucula versu
Luserit, ardet amor quo pluscula cara superstes
Expediat, famulumque Dei super aethera tollat.
Namque iteris longos explevit honeste meatus,
Optatamque diu Petri properavit in aulam,
Tripudians pandis callido sub pectore venis.
Praeterea Andreae germana diaulia sancti
Ingressus, dictu mirabile! poplite cosso ( sic ),
Ingentes animos labiis patefecit apertis.
En ego commissis veniam deposco piaclis,
Inquit et excelsi testor per sceptra Tonantis,
Solve meae precibus molimina tarda loquelae,
Si quid habes fidei, pie doctor, apostole Christi.
133.0985D| Haec mox explicuit, non serius edita sumpsit,
Ingenium fandi capiens pariterque legendi.
Anglicus indicio superest adhuc quoque clerus,
Divinas pangens Latiis sermonibus odas.
Ille vaporatis afflatus haustibus erga
Auctorata volans altaria, liba piarum
Fundere jure precum studio satagebat inormi.
Unde sibi praeceptorem lucratus ad unguem,
133.0986A| Bis didicit bini pia dogmata docte fluenti,
Ritus paschales, varium lunaeque recursum,
Ignarasque suis latiatim sane rubricas.
Nomen erat tanto Bonifacius huic pedagogo,
Profuit iste viro nimium, quem glorificandum
Sub sacris papae venerabilis abdidit alis,
Exponens longos animi ferventis agones.
Quique fidem cernens, dextram praetendit, et ipsum
Liberius lata perfudit blande charita ( sic ).
Fultus sic pretiis sanctorum ex artubus almis
Relliquiis, pernix reduces supra memorati
Convertit gressus cara ad habitacula patris.

<poem>
133.0986B| Quid narrem lacrymas alterna fronte profusas?
Gaudebant ambo, Wilfridus amore paterno,
Nec minus ipse pater dilecto pignore viso:
Quemque prius animo moerens laxarat amaro,
Permulcet, blandis dans basia casta lacertis.
Nunc singillatim modo miscent laeta vicissim.
Sero quidem rediit, verum tria lustra peregit
Hospite cum prisco, discens examine multo,
Abdita multimodae scrutarier antra sophiae.
Urit amor juvenem, nec tardat grata cupido,
Occuluit quod tecta pio synthemate virtus
Prodere. Nam crines summo de vertice passos
Pontificis dextra primum titulante recidit,
Optans vivificae sustollere stigma coronae.
Archipater gaudet heredem nactus opimum,
133.0986C| Cui queat eudoxas moriens committere caulas.
Arbiter ast rerum praesciverat hunc aliorsum
Vomere salvifico sulcare novalia Christo.
Francorum tum forte scelus vastissima pestis
Augebat, Balthild reginae nomine pistrix,
Olla velut fervens stygia fuligine tosta
Instabat laceris agios laniare creagris.
Non nostrum facinus metro discludere tantum.
Ecclesiae novem violaverat ense patronos [episcopos],
His licet exceptis, quos non capit ars numeralis.
Horum praefatus sine casu criminis unus,
Dalwinus fuerat verbo, re, speque beatus,
Quem fera multatrix lictoribus impietatis
Addixit saevas mucronis pendere poenas.
133.0986D| Hi mox arcessunt crudelia jura furentis,
Multivolae Domini beluae, quam jura tueri.
Ergo petens diri praefixum scamma duelli,
Accepit socium, quem fecerat ante propinquum.
Rennuit ipse tamen, huic ne foret exitus idem.
Sic Pater aeternam sumsit moriendo coronam,
Filius et fortes vixit tolerando labores,
Cum moerore gravi condivit funera caesi.

Ardentes animis subdi coelestibus orgiis [ i. e. mysteriis].
Nec potuit latebris abdi fax missa nefandis.
Mox proceres inter rumusculus exiit aulae,
Scilicet adventasse virum virtute vigetum,
Optima clavigeris qui fatur dogmata coeli.
Regalis sane subiit proscenia fundi,
Pax domui tunc, infit, huic, captimque loquelas

133.0987B| Promeruit, latae penetrans gymnasia Romae,
Quaeque sub argutis congesserat optima Gallis.
Attonitus stupidis princeps sermonibus ultro,
Non puduit glauco telluri sternier ostro,
Ore petens agii confestim se benedici.
Explevit. Cum rege manens, sat multa benigno
Obtinuit merito pecuaria, praedia, census,
Atque monasterium vulgari nomine HRipis.

Astabat ducibus, suadens quae mandat Jesus.
Is mox Wilfridi vitam meritumque notavit
Praecipuum. Sermone ducis sententia fertur,
Utile personam gradibus donando beari
Divinis, quam non hebetet censura palustris.
Allegat praesul facilis: verum ille juventae
Excursus trepidat, ne forsan mobilis aetas
Praecipitem pravae retrahat per competa sectae.
Tandem colla jugo subdens delecta petito,

Quo dicto siluit Princeps, canique sequaces
Frigida convulsis vexabant pectora pugnis.
Solvitur in tenerum confestim concio luctum.
Dulcia post modicum rex mitis protulit ora:

Quem nos et prisci dudum legere tyranni.
An Columchilla quo plebs infausta superbit?

Difficit ignavae torquentia lora senectae,
133.0989A| Suscipit elisiis justum spiramina zetis [mansionibus],
Utpote coelestes retinens pro munere claves.
Hunc, inquit, plebes, hunc amplexemur et omnes,

Confirmat positis, intentans lumina coelis.
Ecce sub infausti contraria littora portus
Gens effera suis casum spectabat in armis,
Praedari fragilem captiva plebe carinam.
Quos Pater intuitus, humili sermone precatus:
Naufragium servatis, ait, sed sponte mearum
Grandia contribuam, resipiscite, munera rerum.
Nos equidem gravis afflictat violentia ponti:
Sed velox aderit, fateor, miseratio Christi.
Stans volucres augur solitus servare sinistras,
133.0990C| Despumat tumidis oracula saeva labellis:
Eumenides furias vocitat sub murmure Parcas,
Manibus infernis ut fortis mandat Erinis [Erinnys]
Expedit admisso plebs cara cruore litari.
Hoc ait, et properans bellum ferale perurget.
Praesul item sanctas tendens ad sidera palmas,
Invocat auxilium divinitus adfore magnum.
Haec inter tereti juvenis scutale lapillo
Ornat, et infandi torquens per inania vatis,
Figens sincipiti trajecit in antra cerebri.
Corruit utque vafer, clamoribus aestuat aether
Cara dehinc recolit pastor miracula David:
Incubat ipse magis, avertitur impia pestis.
Conclamant acies truculento marte ruentes,
Vocibus infestis concursant agmina regis.
133.0990D| Quid plura? quoties crudelia bella lacessunt,
Excipiunt ictus Jesu vigilante cruentos.
Unde quater victi remeant, victorque sereno
Evehitur pelago, frustratus remige quino,
Optatumque tenent repetito limite portum.

==XII. Ceadda Eboraci substituto, in HRipense monasterium secedit. A Volfario rege Merciorum expetitur. Cantiae ministros ordinat, monasteria construit.==
<poem>
Hi quoque quos pridem regalis concio victos
133.0991A| Expulerat, fraude tantum potuere mereri.
Gallica detentus ponto dum rura vagatus,
Temperiem lente speraret adesse jocundam,
Mutavit malefida locum defectio regis.
Constituunt etenim perverso canone Coeddam,
Moribus acclinem, doctrinae robore fortem,
Praesulis eximii servare cubilia: sicque
Audacter vivo sponsam rapuere marito.
Obvia turba Patri luctu quatiente revelat,
Divertitque humilis sub nota mapalia HRipis.
Usque adeon, potuit quisquam nescire moveri?
Non hunc subreptae tanto discrimine sedes,
Non illum sumti multo luctamine fasces,
Aut labor, aut tumidi conterruit ira profundi:
Spe meliore manet latebris contectus in illis.
133.0991B| Saepe licet proprias videtur pascere ovillas,
Nulla datur requies, vicino urgente colono.
Quaeritur a ducibus, quorum Wlfarius unus,
Nobilibus pollens per Mercica regna triumphis;
Vix potuit fato pastorem efferre locello.
Qui postquam meruit tanto doctore potiri,
Affectu coluit, terris et honore ditavit.
Ekbertus vero, quem Cantia rura timebant,
Dum pastore caret, flexo rogitamine poscit,
Ordinet ut sacros decreto more ministros.
His ita digestis, natales prospere fines
Asseculis fultus repetit fastu sine multis.
Plures instituit normali tramite cellas.
Vitam privato servare monebat asylo.
Se quoque continuis ter ducti solibus anni
133.0991C| Accinxit solitis fidei pugnacibus armis:
Nec cessit diri spolians capitolia furis.
</poem>
==XIV. A Theodoro sedi restituitur.==
<poem>
Emensis igitur praedicti temporis annis,
Mittitur Ausoniis pastorum praesul ab oris
Cultor justitiae Theodorus ac pietatis.
Comperit ut justum collata sede revulsum,
In commune dolet violatae foedera legis.
Mox foribus raptis Coeddam dimovit, et apte
Praefecit sedi longum pastore vacanti,
Wilfridumque suis redimivit protinus aulis.
Sic patiens meruit collato jure pacisci.
</poem>
==XV. Templum resarcit. H Ripensem basilicam sacrat.==
<poem>
133.0991D| Redditus ergo suis, instabat promtius illis.
Ecclesiae vero fundamina cassa vetustae,
Culmina dissuto violabant trabe palumbes.
Humida contrito stillabant assere tecta:
Livida nudato suggrundia pariete passa
Imbricibus nullis: pluviae quacunque vagantur.
Pendula discissis fluitant laquearia tignis,
133.0992A| Fornice marcebant cataractae dilapidato.
His ita contuitis, exhorruit ilicet alti
Viribus ingenii reparare peribula templi.
Incumbunt fessi vasto sudore latomi,
Nec minus approperant opicizi ( sic ) emblemata proni
Arcus incultos hyalino [vitreo] claudere velo.
Pondus et informes atlantes [columnas] ferre priores
Jussit et expletum: lymphis perfunditur absis,
Albanturque suis lustrata altaria peplis.
Exin glorifico persolvit munia Christo.
Crescit summa viri, crescit dilectio sancti,
Virtutum genitrix almorum florida nutrix.
Non igitur coeptum dissolvit dexia [ i. e. prosperitas] votum,
Picria neve tulit. Seu dissologia [discordia] rupit,
133.0992B| Theosopho spirans animo cognata synergus
Oppida diffuso HRipis amplificare colurno.
Illic planata decusatim vomere terra,
Symmetriis perpendiculo perfecte libratis,
Ecclesiam statuit, talamum Christoque dicavit,
Tandem post paucas ornatis rebus imeras.
Convenere duces, necnon basileia pubes,
Tristatae comites, vulgi promiscua strages,
Ecclesiae proceres aedem pro more beantes,
Ornarunt altare Petri sub honore canori.
Stans in cancellis dat cunctis sperma salutis,
Regibus edixit, repetitaque rura recepit,
Verbo necne cibo triduo turbam satiavit.
Optima quaeque dedit libens exenia miris
133.0992C| Deflorata modis, capsacibus [atque gemellis (gemmulis)
Codex aurato conseptus grammate scriptus,
Auctus ( sic ) evangelicum servans in corpore textum.
Cumque benignivolo persolveret omnia corde,
Inflatur nullo Jesu moderamine typho.
Quapropter merita donatus digne chorea
Floruit, ut quondam Moysi sub tempore lampas,
Pandens aeternae callem patriamque quietis,
Atque domos sibimet superae religionis amicas.
</poem>
==XVI. Baptizatos confirmat. Puerum mortuum suscitat, eumque baptizat et Deo sacrat.==
<poem>
Quid? loquar an sileam? verbi da, Christe, lucernam.
Exiguum dixi, liceat jam rumpere longas
133.0992D| Inscitia cogente moras, ne lingua pudorem
Praesumtrix tulerit. Neque enim modo sufficit ulla
Virtutum pelagus percurrere rite tuarum,
Quas meruere tui per te complere coloni.
E numero quorum Wilfridus marchio summus,
Nobiliter superae ducens per pascua vitae
Pastor alebat oves: ut propulit eminus hostes,
133.0993A| Monstrabat liquidis salvandos tinguere lymphis
In Patris et Nati necnon et Flaminis almi
Nomine, chrismales adhibens Pater ipse fluores.
Quem populi pulcra medium cinxere corona.
Ecce per offusas denso tamen agmine turmas
Plena metu mulier, defunctae funera prolis,
Sandapilam fugiens, fessis ostentat in ulnis.
Stat turbis immista fides, terrorque gementem
Afflictant tacitis circum praecordia flagris.
Tum Pater accessit, mox pallida conspicit ora.
Obstipuit, haesitque loco temeraria latrix,
Pronior incubuit, luctum singultibus auxit.
O Pater, elatam noli deponere dextram.
Orbatam nato matrem cur despicis uno?
En qui confirmas Christum fore [esse] cunctipotentem,
133.0993B| Imple fidem gestis, miserae da pignus alumnae.
Ingeminat querulas instanti murmure voces.
Concio concurrit gemitu collecta misellae.
Fit plangor grandis. Tandem compassus herilis
Praesul, agit tacitas sancto sub pectore grates,
Perfida quod novit Jesum rogitare caterva.
Moxque solo fixus claros in corde meatus
Tunc reserat, faciem lacrymis et corcula palmis
Afficit, Adonaique pio clamore citavit.
Consurgens autem praesensit adesse salutem.
Timpora cumque manu palpasset frigida; functus
Caesariem movit, vitali redditus aura.
Vulgus inexpletas confusis vocibus odas,
Haec ubi sunt patrata, dedit: puer illico sacris
133.0993C| Baptizatur aquis, miserae dans gaudia matri.
Protinus acceptum secum portavit alendum,
Jussa patri post septenos ut redderet annos.
Ast cogente fero contemsit dicta marito,
Exsul ad externos fugiens cum prole Britannos.
Nec multum latuit. Posthaec non sponte reduxit
Praefectus puerum quidam Patris in dominatum,
Exin divinis illum famulatibus addit.
Pluribus exemplo puer isdem profuit almo.
Tunc fax emicuit, quae inter crepitacula fulsit.
</poem>
==XVII. Angliae felix status. Egfridus rex Nortanhumbrorum Pictos rebelles perdomat Wilfridi meritis.==
<poem>
Anglum tum gemina fulgebat lampade regnum.
Pontifices regis consulto digna gerebant,
Rex quoque praesulibus latria servibat honora.
133.0993D| Summa quies plebi legalia jura tenenti.
Frugiferis gravida gaudebant horrea glebis,
Epibatae [nautae] faciles ausu sprevere latrones.
Classica dira silent, nec formidatur egestas:
133.0994A| Promicat Ecclesia pacato foedere nexa.
Laetifer invidit, conamina mille reclusit,
Rumperet ut sanctam perverso schismate pacem.
Aggeribus crassis nisa est gens Picta rebellis,
Anglorum solitas jam tunc non ferre catenas.
Egfridus imperii largas retinebat habenas.
Conjunx alma viro Edildrid, famosa virago,
Addita conjugio vixit castissima virgo.
Princeps ergo leves animo flammante cohortes
Admovet, indomitoque reos mucrone trucidat.
Exclusere duos caesis ex hostibus amnes,
Manubiis fratri regis venere manipli,
Dant stragem late, redeunt in colla catenae:
Perfruitur magno rex victor longe triumpho.
Non armis etenim raro cum milite vicit:
133.0994B| Sed virtute Dei, meritis et praesulis almi,
Obtinuit gentes vacuo turgore minaces.
</poem>
==XVIII. Mercii quoque perdomantur.==
<poem>
Nec minus innumeras, dum Mercica regna tumerent,
Cuspide confossas stravit rex iste catervas.
Quorum dux cessit fugiens, aevoque sequenti
Addidit Arctois borealia sceptra triumphis,
Fultus magnifico Wilfridi plane rogatu.
</poem>
==XIX. Wilfridus pie vivit.==
<poem>
Virtus ergo viri nullo sudore remitti,
Neve supercilio subrectis nisibus extra
Justitiae verum diduci quibat oestrum [stimulum].
Sane per ignotas instanter mente pererrans,
Divinae gentes sationis tempore passim
Dilatans, exercitium non segne gerebat.
133.0994C| Excubiis pernox gaudens instare secretis,
Corpus perspicuis castum purgat in undis.
Ingeniti fervore laris ne torreat ustum.
Non ardor Phoebi, non algida tempora brumae
Dulcia conceptae rupere volumina curae:
Donec apostolicis jamjam defecta senectus
Praeceptis tanto meruit squalore resolvi.
Nec solus poti scyphum consumere rivi
Fas fore decrevit: jejunia laeta luebat,
Subjectosque viam praecurrens duxit in artam.
Conflua turba ducum soboles conferre sub ipsum
Gaudebat, mirata piam morum probitatem,
Seu servire Deo, seu nosse palatia justo.
Haec quoque falsiloquis praebebant jura linguis,
Ast athleta Dei contectus vellere pacis,
133.0994D| Obsequium mitis odiis suffibat acerbis.
</poem>
==XX. S. Andreae basilicam condit. Elisum sospitati redintegrat.==
<poem>
Praeterea templum caesis instaurat arenis,
133.0995A| Circumdans caecis sinuato fornice cryptis,
Lenibus obductas pingens flavoribus aulas.
Mox recolit tardae collata juvamina linguae,
Andreaeque pii vocitamen contulit arae.
Invidia mortiferi non defuit aura chelydri.
Trullissant etenim muri dum futilis alta,
Corruit in praeceps colliso corpore frater.
Cruscula gressuros non norunt solvere tractus,
Elisisque tori [colli] marcescunt horride fibris.
Ultima cum timidae traheret suspiria vitae,
Concurrunt tristes ad haec funebria plebes.
Praescia mens Patris statim cognovit in antris.
Extimplo lacrymis puro de pectore fusis,
Hortatur reliquos Dominum obsecrare dolentes,
Ut reparet laesam pastor supremus ovillam.
133.0995B| Adfuit, et properam sumserunt membra salutem,
Erubuit laetum vita mediante repulsum.
Quapropter magni laudarunt munera Christi.
</poem>
==XXI. Ermemburgae reginae impulsu Egifridus rex. Theodori consensu, Wilfridis dioecesim in tres partitur. Romam appellat Wilfridus. Insectantium poenas praedicit.==
<poem>
Daemonis ira fremens tantam vult subdole gnosiu
Fallere, delecto quo primum milite caeso
Invalidi fragiles perterreat agminis hastas.
Plurima maturans antiqua recurrit ad arma,
Corrupitque levem regis morbose jugalem.
Haec virosa malae jaciens tum tela pharetrae,
Corcula strophoso violavit vulnere regis,
Rancidulis infesta modis, ceu garrula perdix,
133.0995C| Culpabat justum collatis rebus abuti.
Gloria namque viro totis a partibus orbis,
Agricolae plures, fecundae gramina terrae,
Procurvi proceres, juvenum fetura locuples,
Insuper aethereae monachorum concio vitae.
Postquam pestiferum penetravit corda venenum,
Adscivere suis deceptum prone loquelis
Veri doctorem, justi quoque pene sequacem
Theodorum, supra cecinit quem rustica musa.
Annuit ipse quidem regalibus improbe coeptis,
Substituens ternos sub nomine praesulis intra
Contiguos Patri fines illo usque monarchas (episcopos).
Audiit Eutyches quid rex sibi contrahat, imas
Percontare volens naevo sine criminis iras,
133.0995D| Alta petit lento triclinia opipare gressu.
133.0996A| Ecce faces tanti stimulatoresque pericli
Obriguere metu, commentaturque maligna.
Cur laedor, Pater, inquit, ab his, quos nulla fatigat
Nostrarum, fateor, impune molestia legum?
Nos, aiunt, facinus quamvis cogente senatu
Ponimus, haud quodquam nefas decreta refelli.
Sic testes scelerum firi [fieri] potuere suorum.
Antistes vero nollens desistere coepto,
Quidquid ei pravum pseudo-theosebia nectit,
Romuleo sanxit voto fore discutiendum.
Intuitus quosdam foedo insultare cachinno:
O utinam laetos pueri feliciter annos
Ducatis! sed gaudia sors infesta resolvet.
Nec prius in refluos venient haec tempora soles,
Immatura nimis quam tristia fata luatis.
133.0996B| Haec ait, et sobrio compressit verba palato.
Alfwine post jugulum populi luxere profatum,
Inferias caeso dantes moerendo Clitoni
Cujus post tumulum fratris victoria fluxit.
</poem>
==XXII. Mare transmisso ad Fresones deportatus verbum Dei praedicat.==
<poem>
His ita compertis rediit, laetoque negatas
Corde revisit oves, arentia pectora blandis
Paulatim reparat solamina dando loquelis.
Interea pernix obliquo littore celox [scapha]
Solvitur, aequoreos pertentatura meatus.
Quam circum monachi, dextra laevaque relicti,
Fausta patri pariter lacrymosis questibus orant.
Tunc inimica seges igni tradenda perenni,
Non contenta suae virus fudisse kakiae [malitiae,]
133.0996C| Legatos regi Francorum dirigit, atque
Oeconomum Domini praedati impune petivit.
Sed superi pietate ducis conamina falsa
Macario nullas quibant inferre ruinas.
Laetiferas vero scrobibus versute latentes
Decipulas sensit Winfridus praesul, eisdem
Perditus insidiis, tantum monogrammate lusus.
Praeterea flabris aliorsum prospere versis,
Freisonum laetis portum percepit in oris.
Gentiles stupuere nimis, sed summa mekotes ( sic )
Regem cum ducibus placatos reddidit omnes.
Categorans [praedicans] ergo divinum sperma popello,
Aperuit dulces in falsis rupibus amnes.
Tum pecudum fetura habilis, tum semen in arvis
133.0996D| Crevit, et exsultant sollemniter opiliones.
133.0997A| Post modicum multis tribuit baptisma salutis,
Et fundavit eas Wilbrordus quas habet arces,
Aequiparans tantum fidei fervore magistrum.
</poem>
==XXIII. Frisonum regem in Wilfridum accendere nititur Ebroinus.==
<poem>
Nec tutela ducem, quem multae copia gazae
Francorum rupit, furiis accendit acerbis.
Syngraphidem sculpsit, munus venale notavit,
Quiret Adalgisum collatis subdole regem
Implanare opibus Efruinus [Ebroinus] philocompos
Legati properant, paraphrastica jussa revelant.
Rex vero phronymus scindens ferale volumen,
Aspernatus eos, flammis projecit in altis.
Imprecor aeterno pereat sic caumate, quisquis
Compactae quaerit fidei dissolvere nodos,
133.0997B| Infit: et infestos jussit remeare sodales.
Haud dubium quin lustratus fulgore superno,
Ad cunas agii quondam qui luxit ab alto.
</poem>
==XXIV. Apostrophe ad reginam.==
<poem>
Imprudens mulier, justum furialibus armis.
Cur stimulas? sat erat patria expunxisse beatum.
Quid mare sollicitas? quid casses abde charybdi?
Num tibi quadripatens obedit machina ruris?
Tene jubente poli rutilabit dextimus axis?
Siste, capesse fidem, dynami capieris eadem,
Ocius amisso mutaberis ipsa marito,
Grassatrix scelerum fies inimica luporum,
Christi candidulos pasces modo mitior agnos.
Quem nunc persequeris, posthac devota sequeris,
133.0997C| Multa dehinc populis adhibens monimenta salutis.
Ista per ecstasin scalpello lusimus unco.
Coepta libet solito nunc insanire cothurno.
</poem>
==XXV. Wilfridus ad Dagobertum se recipit.==
<poem>
Ver gelidos tepidis jam solverat aestibus Alpes,
Viribus adsumtis cum praesul laetus ab illis
Gallica rura petens exivit finibus, atque
Nota subit fidens Dagoberti moenia regis.
Is equidem merito, venturus ut adseret ordo,
Publica suscepto praebebat laeta patrono.
Perditus, ut nostis, inquit, popularibus alis,
Excepi moestas tenero olim somate erumnas.
Adscendi tremulum non multo remige lembum,
Pulsus ad ignavos adulescens exsul Hibernos.
133.0997D| En vobis, cujus merui tutamine reddi;
Per me, perque tuam, miles delecte, salutem,
Si qua fides animo, tantum servemus amicum.
133.0998A| Exsultant proceres: neque enim leve principis extra
Praecipuum fas est subjectos velle meare.
Obtulit egregias immenso oromate sedes,
Ire catillatum nec vult rex ultra beatum
Friguttire, petit vetitas alacrior arces.
Magnanimus vero votis regalibus heros.
Non cessit: verum rebus sociisque levatus,
Quin etiam sumto Deodato praesule pergit.
Rursus ab objecto properans sibi rege paratum
Vadit ad hospitium. Bertherus namque patentes
Imperitans terras multo terrore regebat.
Ipse pio solans justum suscepit amore.
Post epulas et post grati carchesia bacchi,
Rex coepit narrare Patri, qui livida civis
Viderit orsa mali sese violare volentis.
133.0998B| Ast ego praeteriti memor, inquit, sancte, pericli,
Ut quondam tellure mea privatus, amaras
Externo sub rege degens sensi cicatrices.
Foedere sed multo quamvis servatus ab humo,
Evasi saevos discedens liber amicos.
Me quoque muneribus voluerunt fallere latis,
Quo te deciperent glauci lacerando Britanni.
Quod si me fidei gentilis amore tenacis
Vendere despexit, te nec minus ipse fovebo.
Claxendix tonuit, comites rex promtulus auxit.
Sic Romana petunt pernicibus atria plantis.
</poem>
==XXVI. Ipso praesente Romae synodus convocatur, in qua restituitur Wilfridus.==
<poem>
Cursores sed jam praemiserat archipolites
Theodorus. Tum Wilfridi pia fama beati
133.0998C| Ausonias notis penetravit nutibus aulas.
Euge ciunt cives certatim protinus omnes.
Exterit abiegnas Petri dignissime valvas.
Agatho apostolicas decorabat praesul habenas,
Justitia simplex, aequi non marcidus auspex.
Edictum posuit, patrium syntagma gregavit,
Atque quater duodena Patrum, nectente diade
Agmina conduxit, communi famine dixit:
Cultus et Ecclesiae fucatur sanctio priscae,
Ni coquat emersas calor ecclesiasticus herbas.
Anglica comperimus vexari pessime regna,
Dum praeter fixos fiunt discidia fines.
Arguto fratres fratrum discrimine clades.
Pendite ne rudibus pereant antiqua bilibris.
133.0998D| Primores Itali trutina pietatis adulti,
Talia doctiloquo retulerunt fata magistro:
Incipe, pastor, habes veterum decreta virorum.
133.0999A| Nunc illos admitte, placet, quos multa fatigant
Instigante fide spatiosae incommoda terrae.
Decernes sermone pio, quid subditus ordo,
Et quid quaeque colant, seu quid vitare jubentur
Ecclesiae, scelus hoc pacto vacuabitur omne.
Allusit: statimque sacras Wilfridus in aedes
Cogitur ipse suas jussus narrare querelas.
Obtulit expressum Patribus diploma legendum,
Ut patriae curas ovium ceu lucra piarum
Sedulus obsequio tractaverit, utque dicatas
Invidia cogente fores suspenderit, atque
Eheu pontificum fraudes qui more procorum
Ornatam proprio sponsam invasere patrono.
Non ego criminibus quemquam depravo peractis.
Praestolor Hesperia qui judicer, inquit, ab aula,
133.0999B| Omnia versifico longum exanthlare relatu.
Alternae perhibent sincera oracula partes
Expromisisse virum: prorsus hunc esse legendum,
Cujus apostolico solidandae robore vires,
Hoc virus ne serpat, et incautos malesano
Inficiat succo, dum Justum pessimat atrox.
Annuit, et scriptis legalibus archierarchus [papa]
Theodoro regique jubet sancita notari.
Ni pietate pari conservent jussa magistri,
Judicio Domini cunctos anathemate plecti,
Quaerentes animam sine re damnare beati.
</poem>
==XXVII. Dagoberto bello impetito et caeso Wilfridus ob ipsum servatum convicio appetitur.==
<poem>
His ita fundatis, ne sicut apostata vilis,
Aut legum profugus sola quaerat perdere nota;
133.0999C| Limitibus planis excessit finibus illis.
Uritur infestus humanae prolis amicus,
Commaculare bonum perquirens livide votum.
Nam properans patuli dum verreret aequora campi,
Conglomerata suis furunt collegia signis
Noxia, regali, ceu fertur, sanguine fuso.
Civiles etenim Dagobertus Marchio dextras
Senserat, et rigidum capulotenus inguine ferrum.
Praelia vibratis intentant comminus hastis.
Arduus excusso quorum convicia telo
Unus pontifici foedo sic ingerit ore:
Delator patriae petulans, moribunde viator,
Gallica tu pridem violasti sceptra, relato,
Qui periit caesus, quem jure sequere, tyranno.
An pravum gessi, regem dum forte remisi?
133.0999D| Inquit, et opto pati gaudens pro nomine Christi.
Mox truculenta ruunt hastilia: deinde remissis
Acclines rogitant ancilibus ut benedicat.
Crediderim rutilo perculsi fulminis igne,
Quod patuit mundo, dum matris fluxit ab alvo.
</poem>
==XXVIII. In Angliam reversus litteras exhibet pontificias.==
<poem>
Nil metuens ergo pertransit gramina tuto,
Securusque cavas intrat velociter alnos [naves].
133.1000A| Multivido fratrum post haec oramine fultus,
Auctorata ferens Petri vexilla beati,
Regales adiit, dans rectis gaudia, postes.
Bullatas offert signato cortice chartas.
Confestim doctae pariter coiere catervae,
Quid narret Romanus apex, audire paratae.
Archistrateios solio prospectat ab alto,
Jus crudele sacris ausus dictare loquelis.
</poem>
==XXIX. Quibus spretis, ipse in carcerem conjicitur.==
<poem>
Post evangelicum catorthoma, post recitatas
Sedis apostolicae causas, indigne ferebant
Oppositi quidam raptam persolvere praedam.
Urgebantur acri furioso pectore bile:
Permulcentque, nefas: perverso fasmate [famine] regem
133.1000B| Spernere syngraphas furtivis rebus adeptas:
Symmystenque Dei gaudent sychophanta notari.
Tandem semoto Patrem trusere locello,
Blanda retractantem regis promissa superni,
Olim qui dixit, qui vos hic, me quoque spernit.
Tum regina gravis hujusce schismatis auctrix,
Praesumsit pretias [pretiosas] sancto divellere capsas,
Non impune sibi tantam sociata rapinam.
</poem>
==XXX. Oratio ipsius ad suos.==
<poem>
Ergo opibus sociis pessumdatus inclytus heros,
Famina mirifico fratribus depromsit ab ore.
Gloria multa, loquens, multo captanda labore.
Cana Patrum series, longos experta dolores,
133.1000C| Vincere multiplices meruit divinitus hostes.
Heroum duodenus apex patiendo beatas
Sidereumque decus Jesu tribuente coronas
Excepit, multum modico lucratur ab ipso.
Nostra licet duram patiantur corpora sortem,
Mentes triticeo coelis indentur acervo,
Quo fruges animae capientur mox locupletes.
Praemia non quaerat, ni qui tolerando triumphat.
Dixit, et actutum lictorum torva vorago
Obstitit, et raptum tenebroso vinxit in antro.
</poem>
==XXXI. In carcere illustratur luce superna.==
<poem>
Qualem te, pastor, laetum tristemve fatebor?
Laetabare quidem te Christi post fore risten ( sic );
Flebas damna gregis pastorum verbere laesi.
Actu coenoso dum stringeris undique vallo,
133.1000D| Num solito non quivisti fulgore potiri?
Exacuere leves inimici frustra ligones,
Nequiquam ancipites inspicant acrius enses.
Tempestiva tibi funduntur lumina coelis,
Inviso properat consueta porismate [meatu] lampas,
Pervigil excubias Jesu dum solvis amatas.
Testis adest custos, ergastula saeva serenis
Inspiciens radiare focis in tempore noctis.
133.1001A| Quid minus a Petro, cui lumen fulserat arto?
Digne quidem parili posthac donabere serto,
Quem voto sequeris, quem tormentis imitaris.
Et ne desperes, aequo splendore nitescis.
</poem>
==XXXII. Pontificias litteras violari non patitur.==
<poem>
Interea multis vexatur fraudibus almos
Exsecrare apices, actusque probare feroces.
Vertex si capulo, dixit, caedatur acerbo,
Aut terebrent costas instantia pila tenellas;
Unum iota meo nunquam frustrabitur astu,
Quae sanxere Patres Petri documenta sequentes.
Sic legit fuscos primatum offendere vultus
Non et apostolicos consensit fallere ritus.
</poem>
==XXXIII. Praesidis uxorem pene exanimem sanat.==
<poem>
133.1001B| Carpitur inde gravi conjunx dilecta veterno
Praesidis, infaustas ha ha! procurantis habenas.
Corpore contrito, compagibus atque solutis,
Mortua contractis fluitabant viscera nervis.
Sensu pene carens, extis jam condolomatis
Grande viro scrupulum congesserat, extima vitae
Spectanti, dum praeteritae spiramina reddat.
Protrahit illa moras: tandem velociter artas
Vir supplex satagit sancto reserare catenas.
Fletibus haud modicis deposcit opem medicantis.
Ergo Pater, solito pietatis munere fisus,
Passibus approperat conferre juvamen anhelis.
Adfuit, et turbas removeri jussit adactas.
Hinc precibus fusis, perfudit viscera lymphis:
Mox rediit priscos vitalis fervor in artus.
133.1001C| Nil nocuere virum crudelia lora beatum:
Quin alacri vultu lucum remeavit in ipsum,
Nec puduit tetras iterum curare cavernas.
Praefecto cognomen erat quem diximus Osferd ( al. Osfred,)
Conjugis ereptae vocitamen dicitur Ebbae,
Post modicum sacro gaudebat condita velo.
</poem>
==XXXIV. Artius religatur, sed frustra. Solvitur.==
<poem>
At Praeses timidus, rerumque stupore coactus,
Malle pati propriae dixit dispendia vitae
Intimat, et saevo quam justum prodere regi
Isque tumens nimium praecipit acerbius illum
Compedibus rigidi damnatum carcere ferri
Stringere, mutata custodis sorte prioris.
Urgentur chalybes furcos aptare bicornes,
133.1001D| Et sterili funes nexare labore trilices,
Quis terrere queant athletae corda ligati.
Sed quo suppliciis animo mordacius instant,
Prorsus eo minimum se profecisse stupebant.
Nam quaecunque sacris nectebant vincula membris;
Aut diffusa cadunt, aut forte incongrua fiunt:
Artubus innocuis libertas cessit herilis.
O crudele genus! frustra contunditur incus.
O scelerata manus! quid prodest laedere corpus?
Non metuit jugulum, quem contremit indere lorum.
Digne satis gressus tremulae fugere catenae,
133.1002A| Pacifice qui currebant per competa vitae.
Ergo alacres pastor curans mitissimus agnos,
Lingua perdocuit, manibus baptismate tinxit.
</poem>
==XXXV. Regina ob sublatum reliquiarium punitur. Wilfrido liberato convalescit.==
<poem>
Oppida commissi verum dum marchio regni
Permeat, illecebras explens pompose caducas,
Ecce repentino turbantur gaudia casu.
Dum raptis etenim conjunx regalis abuti
Audet relliquiis, spirans typho impietatis;
Vindex ira subit, satan per viscera gannit:
Quem coluit petulans, hujus sit hospita bacchans.
Talibus attonitis accessit regia nutrix
Anne patent, inquit, veteris commissa piacli?
Extera Wilfridum violant ergastula justum:
133.1002B| At tua terrifico quatiuntur daemone membra.
Sprevisti emeritas Petri de culmine chartas:
Excipis en dignas irato judice poenas.
Capsaces [phylacteria] collo demsisti immunda verendo:
Nunc moribunda Baal vinciris et ipsa veruto.
Naribus immanes ceu fundens torridus ignes,
Rex aderat, quem sic genitrix affatur honesta:
Jam memor esto tui, loetargum subrue, fili,
Ultio dilectam profligat summa jugalem.
Sed tu sceptrigeram si vis augescere dextram,
Vincula solve viri, quoquam sine crimine nexi:
Et si fers animo, jubeas discedere regno.
Annuit invitus, patuit mox carcer apertus,
Reddidit et claram nubes densissima stellam.
133.1002C| Protinus immeritam sensit regina medelam.
</poem>
==XXXVI. Wilfridus liber deserit patriam. Palabundus adversariorum factione.==
<poem>
Excedens igitur patriam cognataque rura
Deserit, australesque petit velut advena terras.
Nobilis expulsum per devia quaeque viator
Obvius excepit, mundi quia summa potestas
Indefinito praefixerat omnia verbo,
Defore nil justis spondens pro se tribulatis.
Regia progenies Berthwaldus munere dives
Nec latuit: statimque furor hostilis inarsit.
Sed Pater a solito nunquam sudore fatiscens,
Instruxit gregibus monastica jura fugatis.
Jam fati tellure viri tunc invida pestis
Corda ducis zabuli praestrinxit hospitis apti,
133.1002D| Fratris Edilredi per Mercica regna decori,
Cujus in obsequio conjunx inimica manebat,
Ekfridi germana trucis tumidique tyranni.
Hi pulsare virum multo terrore serenum
Haud cessant, coguntque datam molimine pravo
Degenerare fidem. Sic compulit ire carentem
Hospitis auxilio, comitatum praeduce Christo.
Profecto alterius susceptus regis in aulis,
Femineas patitur instinctu daemonis iras.
Ermenburgis enim totius criminis altrix,
Cladibus, ut cecinit praemisso musa tenore,
133.1003A| Multimodis torsit tantum furibunda patronum:
Saeva soror cujus Centwine regia conjunx
Expulit indemnem nullum servata [servando] pudorem.
</poem>
==XXXVII. Ad Australes Saxones se recipit. Regem Edilwalk cum suis Christo lucratur. Coenobia construit.==
<poem>
Quid strides, peritura seges, aut sulfure averni
Perpete torreris? en aspernata probabis.
Ipse sibi patriam praesul non longe jacentem
Adquiret, nondum divino vomere scissam.
Non licuit cultis committere semina sulcis.
Anne vacat saltem steriles invertere glebas?
Non timet exsilium qui gestat pectore Christum.
Gens igitur quaedam, scopulosis indita terris,
133.1003B| Saltibus incultis, et densis consita dumis,
Non facilem propriis aditum praebebat in arvis:
Gens ignara Dei, simulacris dedita vanis.
Hanc adit intrepidus, sincero dogmate fretus,
Adsistensque duci, pertractat munia Christi.
Foedere complacito statim captatur ab ipso,
Non auri pretio, ferro non hostis avaro:
Juravit pactos nunquam dissolvere nodos.
Hinc passim sacris permulcet corcula verbis,
Lucratusque ducem feliciter, atque jugalem,
Emicuit mediis fax indefessa tenebris.
Delubra contritis pereunt velocius aris.
Nec doluit madidas subvertens augur acerras.
Dulcia divino funduntur mella canistro,
Tinguntur plebes sanctum baptisma petentes.
133.1003C| Rex quoque vivifica perfusus nobilis unda,
Praedia delegat, coenobia praesul adornat.
Edilwalch princeps vocitatus dicitur iste,
Wilfridi meritis qui novit coelica tempe.
</poem>
==XXXVIII. A Cedwala in regnum restituto excipitur in Westsaxoniam.==
<poem>
Teque canam, fugitive puer Cedvalla, negatis
Quem fudit sceptris nemoroso Ciltena [Westsaxonia] luco.
Audacem quippe Wilfrido subdere mentem,
Ut quires redhibere tui diademata regni,
Magnorum quaerens evadere fata malorum;
Crevisti patiens, rex fortis, ab exsule pasci.
Tempus post modicum fidei capis incrementum.
Nam vertex tremula quem dudum foverat ulva,
133.1003D| Praesulis auxilio rutilat cingente corona.
Tu quoque pontificem multa tellure ditasti.
Felix exsilium, quod poscit purpura regum!
Immo Pater felix, exsul pro foedere pacis!
</poem>
==XXXIX. Egfrido mortuo, redit in gratiam cum Theodoro.==
<poem>
Rumor tunc prodit, quia bello plura cruento
Agmina corruerant alterna caede vorata:
Ekfridusque feri percussus cuspide Picti,
Exsilio sanctos desivit trudere pravo.
Praeterea pastor Dorobernica claustra gubernans
Theodorus, damnare nefas in praesule quondam
133.1004A| Commissum cupiens, jamjam vergente senecta
Expetiit revocare virum sat inepte repulsum.
Ergo redit humilis, implens exacta prioris.
Hos inter praesul Erchenwaldus venerandus.
Accedunt terni verae funabula lucis,
Exorsusque dehinc senior Theodorus infit:
Poenitet en, Fili, quia tot tormenta subisti.
Ultima porro meae properant confinia vitae:
Tu quocunque modo deliqui, quaeso, remitte.
Terruerant animum Wilfridi gesta beatum.
Tum coelis oculos attollens, brachia terris,
Indulsit facinus, sicut praecepit Iesus.
Ergo solo strati, poscunt miseramina Christi.
Inque vicem culpis perfecto corde remissis,
Gaudebant lacrymis sobria de fronte profusis.
</poem>
==XL. Aldfrido et aliis commendatur.==
<poem>
133.1004B|
Jam fasces regni, jam publica sceptra peremti
Sumserat Aldfridus. Mox pastor scripsit eous
Sedibus abreptis reddi debere beatum
Christi mathiten post tanta pericula sennem:
Ne contingat huic moriens quod pertulit Ekfrid,
Qui voluit dictum primus spoliare patronum.
Hoc et idem cunctis statim designat amicis
Aelflede, quae virgineo succincta pudore
Pascebat nitidas Jesu prudenter ovillas.
Tuque clientelae, princeps, memor esto cupitae.
Scripsit Edilredo cognato morte sopito,
Qui studuit toto Wilfridum pellere mundo.
Nunc age, communi si vivas optime voto,
133.1004C| Saepe meis, fateor, parebas phronyme [prudenter] dictis.
Jam quoque Pastoris extremos crede rogatus,
Ut tua praecluibus gliscens cuprepia [excellentia] sceptris,
Ardua Romulei servet praecepta vigoris,
Quae statuere Patres Petri vectigal alentes,
Agatho praecipuus, Benedictus, Sergius atque.
Dux etiam monitis arrisit protinus istis,
Summo ceu decuit servans in honore magistrum,
Usque sub extremam vitae frustrabilis horam.
</poem>
==XLI. Ab Aldfrido revocatur.==
<poem>
His ita consertis, Aldfridus stemmata regni
Non obscura gerens, Christi revocavit alumnum.
Certatim priscas possedit deinde casellas.
133.1004D| Pelluntur moechi, sedes vacuata patrono
Redditur: applaudunt cives felicia fantes.
Lucidus Ewroica [Eboraca] resplenduit axis in aula.
</poem>
==XLII. Aldfrido iterum vexante, rursus confugit ad Edilredum.==
<poem>
Felices populi tanto pastore potiti!
Vix tamen exiguo manserunt gaudia lustro.
Nam modicum trita viguit perversius hydra.
Ardescunt veteres crebris pulsatibus ignes,
Ecclesiae puppis vexatur dire procellis,
Cogitur et rursum nauclerus mittere clavum,
Anchora ni firma primum solidetur arena.
133.1005A| Rex etenim dictus, ligurum [ligurionum] ferrugine tinctus,
Distendit variis veracia stamina pullis,
Alternando vices; nunc Patris subditus alis,
Nunc mendosorum credens inventa virorum.
Ni fallor, fida titubans statione carebat.
Ast pater immotam quaerens servare carinam,
Maluit elatum regis differe tumorem.
Idcirco cessit, divisaque rura reliquit,
Impatiens sanctam scindi se praesule normam,
Arvaque commissis monachis collata revelli,
Nec metuens magni praeferre oracula Petri.
Mox Aedilredi repetens solium memorati,
Acceptus colitur placida sub rege quiete,
Explens officium multa pietate supernum.
</poem>
==XLIII. In concilium vocatus, paratas technas eludit.==
<poem>
133.1005B| Tantos post strepitus, quem non quivere molesta
Exsuperare fuga, nituntur fallere techna.
Denique collectim censura urgente ducali [regia]
Synodus astruitur, legatio menda jubetur
Caelibis accessum festino cogere gressu.
Concurrit facilis. Fratum tum saeva simultas
Undique stipatum fictis agitare querelis.
Machina non solido, sed mox interlita limo
Corruit, haud patiens vatem prognostica fantem
Lincea namque viro fuerant oculamino tanto:
Immo prophetales ad hoc potaverat haustus,
Internos etiam quo posset cernere nisus.
Tandem vafrinos blandis suggestibus astus
Increpitans, Italas suadebat credere chartas.
Ethnica sed nullis molliri corda lagonis [ sic ]
133.1005C| Cedebant, virusque tegunt sub mente nocivum.
</poem>
==XLIV. Non vult sponte pontificatum abdicare. Romam iterum appellat.==
<poem>
Praeterea juvenis divini fautor honesti,
Expertus causas in sanctum aptare sinistras,
Accessit, regis dirum patefecit amentum,
Toxica letiferae volitant quo tela pharetrae.
Nec etenim puduit dicacem audire fidelem,
Qui mox exposuit, celer intra palatia repsit.
Summi stans igitur ducis inter castra perennis
Excipit horrisonas illaeso parmate fundas,
Nec potuit validis penetrari pelta sagittis.
Instabant etenim violento famine agentes,
Se Pater ut proprio vellet dispungere voto,
133.1005D| Indignumque sacris se judicet esse gerendis.
O malesuada cohors! o fraus! o sanctio discors!
Non eris immunis poenae, non criminis exsors.
Ipse quidem solitos gaudet perferre labores:
Tu Phlegeton subies, Erebum manesque pavesces.
Insignita piis tunc aperit ora loquelis.
Ecce quaterdenos, dicens, vexilla per annos
Intemerata tuli verae per cuncta Fidei,
Barrida [procacia] pravicolae quis stravi examina turbae,
Inclyta censurae servans invictus eoae
Famina, non falso ceu garrit pollice sculpta,
Mens inimica suo mox defectura veneno.
Nunc quia compellor, Petri discrimine purgor.
133.1006A| Non formido minas, exenia nulla capesso:
Meque meo nunquam vobis mucrone litabo.
Haec Pater oravit, plebeium jusque refellit.
</poem>
==XLV. Ad Edilredum redit.==
<poem>
Solvitur infandum Jesu vincente coagmen,
Enituitque bonum praestantis praesulis omen.
Sic Aedilredi valvas repetivit hiantes,
Explanatque duci sceleris commenta maligni.
Isque benignivolam firmans in praesule curam,
Edixit priscum nullo frustramine foedus
Vellere, apostolica donec remearet ab aula.
</poem>
==XLVI. Romam revisit.==
<poem>
Verum discordes flagrant ardentius irae.
Et quas Christicolis pastor fundaverat aedes,
Nisibus efferis averruncare parabant.
133.1006B| Extorres stavunt [ an statuunt] agio incassum palinodo,
Quos sacer electis gradibus formarat adelphos,
Dulsos coenosi lychinos audititi destos.
At pia ventilabro Christi sententia justo
Efflavit paleas, cocyti ardore cremandas,
Condivitque bonam coeli per horrea frugem.
Nam pater ipse greges et ovilia cara revisens
Ingemit, et precibus Domino commendat anhelis.
Aggressusque dehinc Romani pervia callis,
Ingreditur partas opulento remige lintres.
Carpebant placida libratis aequora velis,
Figitur et notis vehemens lautomia arenis.
Oblitas igitur peragrantes commode terras,
Divino comites potabat fonte fideles.
133.1006C| Non errare licet, non manticulare necesse est,
Gratia quos tanti servat ductoris opima.
Is etenim largas, quamvis devotus egeret,
Impensas eleis [liberalibus] palmis fundebat apertis.
Quapropter, ceu praecinuit Davitica psaltes,
Justa manebit ei vitae farrago perennis.
Transmissis tandem Jovialibus aeque cavernis,
Macarii penetrant rutilantia dindyma Petri,
Qua renitebat ovans summa virtute Joannes.
Affines moti festinant Euge per urbem.
Astipulant modulis comto sistemate, cerus [sacer]
Aedituusque graves oppandit agillimus aedes.
Introiit praesul testudine fultus opaca,
Qui tellure cubans unca suffragine suda [flexo poplite]
Mille piis instillat aquis, vi denique sancta
133.1006D| Coelica summorum reseravit claustra polorum.
Indidit aequisonas divinis auribus odas.
Oratu surgens, famulantum rite catervis
Ambitur, siccatque genas, suspiria pressat.
Ast ubi complacuit, sacra archisteria [templum] scandit.
Pontificum praesul, necnon et concio gaudet
Pistica [fidelis], Tarpeioque ruens de colle senectus.
Intestina Pater postquam dyrrachia [discidia] planxit,
Ad vicina redit lentis habitacula plantis.
</poem>
==XLVII. Causam agit apud Papam, prolatis litteris apostolicis.==
<poem>
Interea scriptis legatio cassa modernis.
133.1007A| Berthwaldi de sorte ruit, puerile volumen
Opponens tanto nequiquam certe Patrono.
Ausoniae coeunt Graiae, mox atque soritae
Vestibulo cursim priscorum scita revolvunt.
Protinus admisso micuit syntagma berillo.
Ut jubar introiit, jubaris ceu nectar opimi
Protulit effevum ( sic ) liquido flavore libellum
Hisce characteribus. Christi tunc inquit alumnus:
Nulla damus patriae, fateor, discidia nostrae.
Non reges, non tristatas, regumve clientes,
Matris ad eximiae gremium concurrere gratis.
Elegi collata prius mihi jura probare.
Non ignota cano, vobis praecognita narro,
Jura dedere Patres Romanum stemma regentes.
Testis adest hujus sanctae periergia sedis,
133.1007B| Haec quia non sprevi, nam nec spernenda putavi.
Collatis carui crebris populatibus agris.
En qui me sensu graviter lymphante sequuntur,
Norunt si qua meo vitiamine rupta vicissim
Objectare queunt, vestro lustrabor ab ore.
Non ego pompisonis adii pretiosa lupatis [frenis]
Moenia, nec gilvis phalerato stromate mannis (equis tolutaribus:
Prosequor at nudus nudi vestigia Petri.
Posteritas sancite quibus subsistat amica
Legibus, et priscas nolite revellere chartas.
Obstipuere ( sic ) Patres haec sic fore [esse] comminiscentes.
Hac dixere pharo mundi rudis arsit origo,
Rabula nec deerit quo mens veneranda nitebit
133.1007C| Talia labentis patiuntur spargana vitae
Aemula, nec tardat spiris agitare malignis
Actio pravorum vitam moresque proborum.
Conquirenda tamen hujusce refragia sectae.
Et quamvis odiis proscriptus physiculatis [naturalibus]
Protinus arbitrio, Wilfride, piabere nostro.
Nec Romana prius falsi pilotria ( sic ) testes
Excedent, justas donec pro crimine poenas
Jure luant, discantque viro deferre probato.
Iste quidem Latias olim lallando papillas,
Pavit Christicolas multo dulcore catervas.
Oravere Patres: testatur et ipse Joannes (papa),
Haec dicens: Nullo morietur lampada fungo.
Insidiae veteres dormiscant ocius omnes.
Desipiunt hebetes tetrico moerore furentes.
133.1007D| Wilfridum damnare nefas: qui, sicuti torris,
Ereptus magno manet incombustus ab igne.
Ut petrus Christi, sic hic vestigia Petri
Percolit, aequoreis nunquam timefactus in undis.
Degeneres populi quid prodest velle beari?
Virtus si qua placet, patriis pepulistis ab oris.
En rutilum liquido summae virtutis agalma.
Sint rata quae sanxit, non haec obliteret usquam
Aut regalis apex, aut ecclesiasticus ordo.
Nobiscum sapiat, qui Christi stigmata gestat,
Ne ferale chaos evitandamque mephitim
133.1008A| Sentiscat rigidi retrusus in ima barathri.
Quidquid neutericis confinxit apocrypha biblis,
Cassetur priscis legatio censeo dictis.
Quis duo-quindecies, denos pariter quoque quinos,
Elogio archontes queat infamare maligno?
His coram fidei vir hic confessus honorem,
Extunc vitali merito craxatus [inscriptus] in albo,
Certis exspectat coelestia dona diebus,
Ut re percipiat, quod spe patienter et optat.
Huic qui dissentit, nimis, inquam, prorsus ineptit.
'' ( Sequentia, quae in ms. codice Corbeiensi desunt ex codice Cottonianae bibliothecae supplevit Mabillonius. )''
Haec eadem sacris jusserunt indere libris,
More cleanteo solitis bullata sigillis,
Regibus et clero mittentes, atque popello,
133.1008B| Ut dirimant odii crudelia jurgia prisci.
Et dixere Patri post oscula frontis aquosae:
Pacificus redeas; subjectis gaudia reddas;
Terris atque polis Jesu cleronomus [haeres] esto.

==XLVIII.==
<poem>
Devictis igitur falsi latoribus astus,
Pignere sanctorum multa quoque glore venustus,
Deserit Ausonias multis comitantibus oras.
Alpinosque petit, quo Celtica permeet arva.
Praeteriens notos pedetentim transit Alanos:
Tandem pacatos devenit ad usque Sicambros.
Hinc vexatur acri per singula membra veterno:
Nec quibat metas pedibus tranare cupitas.
Fertur equo primum; post haec gestamine fratrum,
Vocibus et toto pastorum corde dolentum;

Semianimem insueto componunt debite stratu:
Perculsique metu, quidnam contingat in actu
Exspectare timent, mortis formidine pressi.
Octonis etenim bis forte quaterque vigenis
Decubuit horis, pastus fraglamine mentis
Corporis aut escis, aut qualibet arte liquoris.
Demum cum quinti spirarent lumina solis,
Mittitur e summo (dictu mirabile!) coelo
Archanus Michael, nitido lampabilis ore;
Quem Pater intendens, non ut fantasma repellens,
Ceu stilbonta [splendentem], novum lumen, veneratur amicum.
Surgito concivis, nostri non portio vilis:
133.1008D| Et licei astricolas inter numerere catervas,
Inquit, ab orbatis jam nunc revocaberis agnis.
Postquam bis binis fratres solidaveris annis;
Cum mercede bona temet revocabo, sed insta
Christotochae dignas aedes fabricare Mariae:
Cujus amore tibi cumulantur certius anni.
Novit quid Petro, Petri quid solvis adelpho.
Continuo sanctos subiit vigor integer artus:
Angelicum superam numen recucurrit ad aethram.
Surgitur, et tristes renovantur digne sodales.
O defesse, sagax curat quem coelica pinax:
133.1009A| Et quia pellacis vitasti gaudia saecli,
Cum numero vitae meruisti praemia summae.

==XLIX.==
<poem>
Oceani tumidas exhinc remeavit ad undas,
Gurgitis et vasti circumflua terga repressit.

Approperans ergo, laesus cunctamine nullo,
Aldfrido regi direxit epistile [epistolam] Petri.
133.1009B| Illicitum sapuit, non hoc sat juste recepit
Protulit ambages, sicut fecere priores:
Nolens directis veneramen ferre loquelis.
Quocirca meritum tulit immature periclum.
Ultrices etenim patiens in corpore poenas,
Cernere collibuit, quem dudum languide sprevit
Multaque conjiciens obiit, male gesta recensens
Testibus adhibitis se reddere velle negatis,
Si Domini auxilium vitae daret accumulatum.
Suscepit vacuas Aedwilf virosus habenas,
In sanctum furias exercens immoderatas:
Inque brevi periit, violento cive repulsus.

Ex hinc convaluere nimis diorismata [definitiones] fortis

Ut frater congrex, scelerum, sicut patet, offex (impeditor),
Circumfusa means docet agmina Christicolarum,
Vivifici tetra plastica dat theoremata verbi,
Noviter increpitans pigrum decus Archiliorum [tribunos].
Haec ita sollerti perfecerat undique cura.
Sensit olympiadam dudum finirier auctam,
Et metamorphosin praesagit adesse cupitam.
Nec minus ipse tamen refovens normaliter omnes.
Aethralem vitam testatur jure sequendam.
Quid tricor dictis? dabitur nunc his quoque finis
Credo quidem scriptis: ut mors, dilectio fortis.

<poem>
Crebis ergo virum febribus pulsatibus almum,
133.1010C| Concurrunt monachi virtutum munere macti:
Agmine pastorem tantum cinxere globoso.
His ita consaeptus, caput extulit, atque ita dixit:
Pullulet in vobis divini gratia roris.
Vos equidem, fratres, pridem revocatis euntem.
Parcite jam, quaeso, superum jam scandere regnum
Me juvat, et fragili praejudico carne resolvi.
Non vobis ultra forma conjungar in ista,
Donec mundanas turbent elementa tenebras.
Visibus et Domini praesens sit machina mundi.
Muscipulos nostis quos obicit aemulus hostis,
Illicibus quaerens animos vitiare figuris.
Ingerit incestos lascivis spebus amores.
Tunc oculos pulcris vanos illudit idaeis,
133.1010D| Aures et blandis demulget saepius arpis.
Ut fraudem doceat, largissima lucra ministrat.
Haec monui semper, haec vobis ipse frequenter
Opposui, nolite moras inferre migranti.
Urgeor, o defungar, et, o fratres, vigilate,
Pyr Flegeton calida ne vos absorbeat unda.
Haec ait, et durae constravit membra quieti.
Spiritus ergo viri Michael repetente beati,
Vimineo condens corpus Kyriale canistro
Exhausit vitro vitalem digne cruorem,
133.1011A| Inter moerentes, orantes, opperientes
Evasit volucer, carnis ceromate [visco] liber.
</poem>
==LV.==
<poem>
Postquam membra sacro tumularunt sacra sepulcro,
Indusias sumsere sibi fratres venerandi:
Interulamque puer sancti sudore madentem
Corripuit, normatrici [abbatissae] tulit atque beatae,
Quam sibi flamineo [velo] sociaverat apte verendo
Egregius heros, redimitam castificando.
Hanc adit organico membris deserta vigore
Clinica, suppliciter poscens se tangere posse.
Pavit secretum depromere virgo fidele.
Tandem compatiens miserae subnixe petenti,
Vinxit aquis vestem, meruit quibus illa salutem.
133.1011B| Post haec bachantes dementi pectore quidam,
Vulcanum [ignem] tecto, quo transiit ille, adhibebant.
Sed vis defuncti viventem terruit ignem:
Saevos mitificans, virtutis et omina monstrans.
Annua bis senos confecerat orbita menses,
133.1012A| Subsidibus patris ex omni regione coactis,
Cum miranda nimis fulserunt signa sub astris.
Quaerebant etenim quis tot pastore vacantes
Excipiat caulas, et ovilia tanta reservet.
Hesperus aeriis sed jam densaverat umbras,
Pernox cura fratrum cum coelum respicit altum.
Emicuit cyclus tenebrosa per astra coruscus
Ceu matutinos igniret Phosphorus ortus.
Canduit hic radius monachum coenobia circum
Officiose, vias visus liquisse polinas.
Hinc patuit, Domini quia constat vinea firmis
Oratu Wilfridi aevum stabilita gigantis.
Mox apopempaeo grates persolvere summo
Accelerant, nomenque Patris constanter honorant.
Fistula rurestris cecinit prothemata cavis,
133.1012B| Callosas cani Meligor velut excola sannas,
Enervi trutinans exotica docmina [dogmata] plectro.
Nunc oleate mihi faveas industrius Odo.
Ut natum retuli stemma tum maxime clusi.
Non epistasin capit, ecstasinque veretur.
Pagina, Lector, ave: tibi caetera carpe tuapte.

==Observationes praeviae.==
133.0979A| Plures Wilfridum, eo nomine primum Eboracensem episcopum, scriptis suis celebravere auctores. In primis Beda Venerabilis res ab eo gestas describit in variis Historiae suae locis, maxime in lib. III, cap. 25, et lib. V, cap. 20. Bedae aequalis accedit Eddi seu Heddius, cognomento Stephanus, qui librum de Vita sancti Wilfridi composuisse fertur apud Joannem Pitseum aliosque recentiores. « Is fuit invitatus de Cantia a reverendissimo viro Wilfrido, ut primus post Jacobum cantandi magister Nortanhumbrorum Ecclesiis esset, » teste Beda in Historiae lib. IV, cap. 2; qua ex consuetudine Wilfridi gesta certo rescire potuit. Post Heddium occurrit Fridegodus, cui Odo Cantuariensis episcopus Vitam ejusdem sancti heroico metro texere praecepit. Legerat Willelmus Malmesburiae monachus eam Fridegodi scriptionem, de qua hoc profert judicium in lib. I de Pontificibus Cantuariensibus: « Exsecutus est id munus Fridegodus quidam versibus non improbandis: 133.0979B| nisi quod latinitatem perosus, graecitatem amat, Graecula verba frequentat, ut merito dictis ejus aptetur illud Plautinum:
Haec quidem praeter Sybillam leget nemo. Huic lucubrationi manum admovit Fridegodus statim post Wilfridi reliquiarum translationem in Ecclesiam Cantuariensem. Ipse etiam Odo, qui Ecclesiae Cantuariensi praefuit ab anno 834 in annos quatuor et viginti, Wilfridi gesta descripsisse perhibetur ab Eadmero. Eadmerus vero seu Edmerus monachus, Anselmo Cantuariensi pontifici a secretis, id postea praestitit anno 1121. Sic enim praefixa habet inscriptio codicis manu exarati bibliothecae Cottonianae: Vita sancti Wilfridi archiepiscopi per Eadmerum Cantuariensem anno MCXXI. Res ab se descriptas in exordio et in fine approbat « auctoritate venerabilium virorum Odonis archiepiscopi et Bedae 133.0980A| presbyteri » , nulla Heddii aut Fridegodi mentione facta, tametsi Fridegodi ipsissima verba non raro usurpat. Unde suspicio injicitur num Fridegodi fetum Odoni, qui hortator operis fuit, supponat. Sed tamen ex prologo ipsius Odonis, quem Eadmerus in fine Vitae ab se compositae citat, aliam Odonis a Fridegodi lucubratione fuisse conjectura est. Eadmeri fragmentum de translatione corporis sancti Wilfridi recitat Gervasius Dorobernensis monachus in libro De combustione et reparatione Dorobernensis ecclesiae; quod fragmentum ex alio Eadmeri opere desumptum est. Eadmeri aequalis fuit Willelmus Malmesburiae monachus, qui itidem facta sancti Wilfridi recantavit in libro secundo de Pontificibus Anglorum, ubi de episcopis Eboracensibus. Post eos omnes Petrus Blesensis, archidiaconus Bathoniensis, librum de Vita sancti Wilfridi composuit, eumque Galfrido Eboracensi archiepiscopo dedicavit, uti legitur in Monastico anglicano, pag. 172, ubi fragmentum 133.0980B| ex eodem Petro adducitur. His omnibus annumerandi sunt Anglorum scriptores, in his Thomas Stubbesius in libro de Episcopis Eboracensibus, quorum catalogus vetustus exstat apud Labbeum in tomo I Bibliothecae novae, pag. 322. Ex praedictis auctoribus obvii quibusque sunt Beda et Willelmus.

Wilfridi diem natalem exprimunt tum Martyrologia recentiora, tum vulgata Bedae historia IV Idus Octobris; tametsi haec verba intrusa sunt in textum Bedae, quae apud Abrahamum Whelocum intra parenthesim conclusa, desunt in exemplari nostro Germanensi, uti et in Aluredi versione Saxonica. Dies certe praedictus est translationis, quo teste Eadmero corpus sancti Wilfridi decentiori loco repositus a Lanfranco est. At quo tandem die vir sanctus ad superos migravit, silent Vitae scriptores omnes, unus inter vetustos fastorum sacrorum conditores designat diem VIII Kal. Maii, is nempe qui 133.0981A| nomine Bedae vulgatus est metrici Martyrologii auctor in tomo X Spicilegii, his versibus:
<poem>
Egbertus, digna virtutum laude coruscus,
Astrigerum octavis veneranter scandit olympum,
Quoque die praesul penetravit Wilfridus alma,
Angelico vectus coetu trans sidera coeli.
</poem>
Celebrior tamen videtur fuisse solemnitas translationis IV Idus Octob., ut patet ex titulo quem Eadmerus post Prologum Vitae praeposuit.

Monachi vitam ab anno aetatis quarto decimo egit Wilfridus, et regulam sancti Benedicti mirifice propagavit. Quo vero in loco monasticum susceperit habitum, non ita liquet. Et primo quidem annos natus quatuordecim apud Lindisfarnenses monachos diligenter « ea quae monasticae castitatis ac pietatis erant, et discere curabat et agere » inquit Beda in lib. V cap. 19: « Necdum quidem attonsus, verum eis qui tonsura majores sunt virtutibus, humilitatis et obedientiae, non mediocriter insignitus. In quo 133.0981B| monasterio cum aliquot annos Deo serviret animadvertit minime perfectam esse virtutis viam, quae tradebatur a Scotis: proposuitque animo venire Romam, et qui ad sedem apostolicam ritus ecclesiastici sive monasteriales servarentur, videre. » Illic perfectam vitae monasticae, hoc est Benedictinae, adeptus normam, reversus Lugdunum a Dalfino seu Annemundo loci episcopo tonsus est. Postea Alchfridus, Oswii Nortanhumbrorum regis filius. Wilfridum in Britanniam regressum « virum, ait Beda, doctissimum, magistrum habuit eruditionis Christianae. Hujus doctrinam omnibus Scotorum traditionibus jure praeferendam sciebat: unde ei etiam donaverat monasterium quadraginta familiarum in loco qui dicitur in HRipum. » Haec Beda in lib. III cap. 25, ubi Wilfridum abbatem consequenter appellat, ut proinde monastica insignia eo in monasterio suscepisse dicendus sit; paulo post ab Agilberto Gallo, occidentalium Saxonum episcopo, in praefato suo monasterio 133.0981C| presbyter factus rogatu Alchfridi. Scotis in synodo Streaneshalensi confutatis, in monasterium Lindisfarnense, ubi Scoti monachi degebant, monachos nostros induxit. Unde ipse apud Willelmum gloriatur, quod primus in Nortanhumbria « verum Pascha Scotis ejectis docuerit, et sanctissimi Benedicti regulam a monachis observari jusserit. » Complura aedificavit coenobia, « HRipense, Hagustaldense » in suo ipsius episcopatu; alia in Cantuariensi; Seleseiense apud australes Anglos, et alia in regno Merciorum. Huc spectant epitaphii ejus hi versus:
<poem>
Inque locis istis monachorum examina crebra
Colligit, ac monitis cavit quae Regula Patrum
</poem>
Sedulus instituit. Quo in loco regula sancti Benedicti, quam Wilfridus tum in Britannia, tum Romae didicit et excoluit, Regula Patrum appellatur, uti et diserte apud Ambrosium Autpertum in libro De Vita sancti Paldonis abbatis et successorum. 133.0981D|

Ad seriem gestorum Wilfridi quod attinet, natus est anno 634 aut insequenti siquidem obiit anno 709, annos natus septuaginta quinque. Adolescens annorum quatuordecim Lindisfarnense monasterium petiit, ibi aliquot annos moraturus. Inde Romam petiit anno circa 653, paulo ante aut certe paulo post mortem Honorii Cantuariensis episcopi, quam eo anno reponit Beda in lib. III cap. 20. Annis fere 133.0982A| quatuor tum in Lugduni mora, tum Romae exactis, reversus in Britanniam HRipense monasterium aedificat et abbatis nomine administrat. Anno prope 660 Colmannum, Scotorum antesignanum, refutat in synodo Streaneshalensi, tametsi Beda in lib. III cap. 26 signat annum 664. Verum Beda non satis sibi constat, dum eo loci scribit Agilbertum episcopum Gallum huic synodo interfuisse, ejusque jussu Wilfridum, adhuc presbyterum Colmanno restitisse; et tamen Wilfridum episcopum ordinatum esse anno ipso 664 Compendii in Gallia, ex cap. 28, ab Agilberto jam Parisiorum episcopo, qui finita ac soluta concione domum, id est in proprium episcopatum, quem apud occidentales Saxones obtinebat, rediisse dicitur cap. 26. Certe in Epitome Saxonica, Bedae Historiae subjecta, Agilbertus « anno 660 abiisse a Kenwalchio, et Parisiorum episcopatum in Galliis ad Sequanam flumen suscepisse » perhibetur. Wilfridus anno 664 ordinatus 133.0982B| episcopus Eboracensis, cum ex Gallia reversus didicisset Ceaddam Ecclesiae suae consecratum episcopum, secessit in HRipense monasterium. Dein a Wlfario Merciorum rege accitus, postea venit in Cantiam, ibique « presbyteros et diaconos ordinavit, usquedum Theodorus adveniret, » ex Bedae lib. III cap. 28, et lib. IV cap. 2, a quo Ceadda Eboraco pulsus, et Wilfridus in sede sua institutus. Anno 670 Oswius rex Nortanhumbrorum cum Romam ire vellet, Wilfridum itineris ducem sibi fieri rogaverat; sed re infecta moritur, apud Bedam in lib. IV cap. 5. « Anno 673 » Wilfridus concilio Heorutfordensi, Theodoro praesidente, « per proprios legatarios adfuisse » membratur ibidem. « Anno 677 orta inter ipsum et Egfridum regem dissensione, pulsus idem antistes a sede sui episcopatus, et duo in locum ejus substituti episcopi, Bosa, qui Deirorum, et Eata, qui Berniciorum provinciam gubernaret, » cap. 12. Interim Wilfridus post biennium Romam pergit causam dicturus. Confecta re provinciam australium 133.0982C| Saxonum convertit ad Christum, ac Seleseiense monasterium aedificavit, favente Edilwacho rege: ac Ceadwala itidem conspirante Vectae insulae populum Christianis institutis imbuit cap. 16. Anno 687, post mortem Cuthberti Lindisfarnensis episcopi, episcopatum Ecclesiae « illius anno uno servabat venerabilis antistes Wilfridus, donec eligeretur qui pro Cuthberto antistes ordinari deberet, » cap. 29. « Post longum exsilium, » annorum videlicet amplius decem, « in episcopatum Hagustaldensis Ecclesiae receptus » est ex lib. V cap. 3. « Anno secundo ( malim duodecimo) Aldfridi, qui post Egfridum regnavit, » alius ab Alchfrido, id est anno 697, « sedem suam et episcopatum, ipso rege invitante, recepit. Sed post quinque annos denuo accusatus ab eodem ipso rege et plurimis episcopis, praesulatu pulsus est, veniensque Romam » anno circa 703, a Joanne papa absolutus repedavit in Galliam. Meldis ad extrema vitae redactus, inducias annorum quinque 133.0982D| a Deo meruit. Postea in concilio Niddensi restitutus principio regni Ofredi Aldfridi filii, id est anno 705, mortuus est anno ejusdem Ofredi regis quarto, « post quadraginta et quinque annos episcopatus. » teste Beda in lib. V cap. 20, et quidem VIII Kal. Maii anni 709 ineuntis. Certe « quindecies ternos episcopus annos egisse » perhibetur in epitaphio suo apud Bedam relato.
INCIPIT PRAEFATIO.
==Praefatio.==
133.0981D|
<poem>
Inscius aegregios aegris conatibus actus
Ordior en, mutilum quo fert fiducia sensum.
Ausibus infidis aderit sed calculus ignis,
Forcipe vatidicum solitus purgare labellum.
133.0982D| Cunctipotens opifex, arcani pandulus index,
Spiritus internis animans dulcoribus antra,
Cordis amara mei, ne quid displodat inepti
Lingua tenax justi, quo non fervente serenas
Efficit haud Phoebus taedas aut Cynthia parcas.
133.0983A| Saecla priora quidem, lubrico phantasmate lusa,
Excoluere suos vano terrore tyrannos.
At postquam summi voluit regnator Olympi,
Virginis intactae talamos invisere gratis;
Dissepsit varios eliso principe lurcos,
Perque crucis lignum legis solvit maledictum.
Astriferas ubi glorificus recucurrit ad arces,
Praesens ipse suis jugiter cultoribus almum
Nubibus e summis direxit splendide Flatum.
Isque quater ternos ignita luce clientes
Imbuit et dignis numerum successibus auxit.
133.0984A| Hujus inexhaustae praedulcia pocula venae
Sensit Wilfridus fama super ardua notus:
Est votum nobis, si suppetat auctor herilis,
Nomen et elatas cujus depromere palmas.
Huc ades, o formose, Dei per climata testis.
Namque, fatebor enim, tua me pellexit honestas,
Scilicet indulcanda modis odisque canoris:
Coelo vita micans, terris oratio praestans.
Ergo age deciduas precibus suppleto loquelas,
Affer praesidium, ne sit sub falce ruendum.
INCIPIT VITA.

Tellus aequoreis circum gyratur ab undis,
Multipetax olim scelerum cultrixque deorum,
Anglicus extruso colit hanc anhleta [ an athleta] Britanno.
Hujus in occiduis convexi partibus orbis
Naturae solitum Wilfridus pertulit ortum.
Anxia dum genitrix parit hunc connixa sub umbris,
Flammivomis lampas radiis praesaga futuri
Coelitus enituit. Vicinia protinus omnis
Praepete concurrit nutanti pectore gressu,
Ignis edax socii subeat ne culmina tecti.
Haerent immoti, nondum miracula Christi
Amplexare cati [ i. e. docti], cum non stupuere cremari.
Est, aiunt, papae! divini numinis omen.
133.0983C| Interea taciti muliebri murmure discunt
Fortunata viri, quoniam nascentis imago
Tali promeruit donari forte sacello.
Hac face laetiferas pepulit puer iste tenebras
Cordibus e multis, gliscens virtutibus almis.

==II. Pie institutus, noverca relicta, palatium petit, dein monasterium sub Cudda.==
<poem>
Jam quia mellito dulcescit nectare guttur,
Prosequar arguta juvenem modulando cicuta.
Hic membris etenim comto glaucomate firmis,
Aequaevos habitu studuit superare venusto,
Nil puerile gerens: facundae munia linguae
Aspirante Deo gestis explebat apertis.
At perfecta virum postquam perfecerat aetas,
Natales statuit functa genitrice penates
133.0983D| Linquere et assiduis Domino famuliarier horis.
Quartum post decimum jamjam transegerat annum,
Immitis furias malens vitare novercae,
Cum sociis cessit sueta comitate decoris
Armatus properans juvenis, ceu nobile germen
Nobilium: sed operta fides umbone latebat.
Inde patris dextra pie commendatus avita,
Aulica perspicuis penetravit pergama plantis,
Insignis populi qua tempestate regebat
Dux praeclara nimis Aeonfled cognomine habenas.
133.0984B| Hujus magnificis actutum vultibus almus
Offertur multoque dehinc lepore beatur,
Acceptus cunctis fidei pollebat in actis.
Ac tum fortuitu memorandae Cudda senectae,
Vir probus ingenio, regum meritoque satelles,
Lubrica coenosi postponens gaudia saecli,
Maluit angustae certamen inire palaestrae,
Normalis sese dedans sub regimine vitae.
Is juvenem sacro suscepit amore docendum.
Exin tiro Dei fultus fervore fidei,
Ut verus Samuhel servabat jura magistri,
Fratribus aequali cunctis subjectus amore.
</poem>
==III. Romam peregrinatur; ab Ercomberto detinetur quadriennio.==
<poem>
Jam gravis electam purgarat sarcina mentem,
133.0984C| Excoctumque diu solito flagramine pectus
Concipit internas Jesu spirante salebras.
A virtute volens virtutis in alta migrare,
Romuleum statuit concurrere gratis ad altar,
Scilicet ut veteris lustraret busta piacli,
Augmentumque suis quiret conquirere votis
Haec pia praefato narravit sensa magistro.
Archades hinc ambo voto statuere sub uno,
Culmen apostolicum peteret, creperumque piaret.
Et regina quidem faustum conferre levamen
Praetaxata volens, regi mandata propinquo
Dirigit ac Domini placidum committit alumnum.
Erchumbertus erat, plebis qui sceptra tenebat.
Hic sine fraude virum coluit, sine peste refecit.
Tandem triquadro postquam servaverat anno,
133.0984D| Pluribus emisit sociis fretum duce quodam,
Barbaries Biscop Baducing quem inculta vocabat.
Prospera flabra virum litus jecere sub aptum.
Gallica rura petit, Lugduni culmina scandit.
Mox juga corripuit, comitum deliquia sensit,
A duce deseritur, Christi tamen ore locatur.
</poem>
==IV. Lugduni a Dalwino.==
<poem>
Tibia veriloquo cecinit miracula plectro:
Vis tamen innatae reticet haud mystica musae
133.0985A| Pangere magnificas athletae nobilis odas.
Moenia praefatae praesul memorabilis urbis
Christicolamque gregem septis servabat amoenis,
Francorum Dalwinus adeps: qui sicuti furvas
Pallenti lychino depellit rite tenebras.
Postquam fama volans pulsavit praesulis aures,
Accit continuo, praebens solamina justo,
Excipit hospitio, dapibus fovet oreque mulcet.
Praesensit quippe praecordia casta juventae,
Illustrisque viri faciem perfecte micantem.
Heus, inquit, hospes, mecum sis perpete sospes.
Dum juvat, uberibus pro votis utere glebis,
Farris et excreti communis copia vini.
Si vero consueta placent connubia forte,
Ne differre pares: generosi sanguinis altam
133.0985B| Immensis opibus cognatam trado puellam;
Meque patrem tibimet, temet mihi dedico prolem.
Haec placidus heros exprompserat ore jocundo.
Tiro dehinc agilis voti non immemor infit:
Ardent excoctis fibrarum omenta laternis,
Abdita conceptis dum detrahor, optime, votis.
Tethys cur tumidas Zephyro minitante salivas
Expetii? Frustra me saeva salacia pressit,
Cosmica si spreto repetam contagia Christo.
Sedis apostolicae viso primum cliothetro,
Aeria merear si longule vescier aura,
Te, pater, ex animo soboles devota videbo.
His ita compactis, opibus pro velle paratis,
Praesulis auxilio perrexit calle secundo.

==V. Romam tamen peraccedit, ubi a Bonifacio edoctus, papae donariis honoratus, Lugdunum revertitur.==
<poem>
133.0985C|
Quamvis informi Terpsicore paucula versu
Luserit, ardet amor quo pluscula cara superstes
Expediat, famulumque Dei super aethera tollat.
Namque iteris longos explevit honeste meatus,
Optatamque diu Petri properavit in aulam,
Tripudians pandis callido sub pectore venis.
Praeterea Andreae germana diaulia sancti
Ingressus, dictu mirabile! poplite cosso ( sic ),
Ingentes animos labiis patefecit apertis.
En ego commissis veniam deposco piaclis,
Inquit et excelsi testor per sceptra Tonantis,
Solve meae precibus molimina tarda loquelae,
Si quid habes fidei, pie doctor, apostole Christi.
133.0985D| Haec mox explicuit, non serius edita sumpsit,
Ingenium fandi capiens pariterque legendi.
Anglicus indicio superest adhuc quoque clerus,
Divinas pangens Latiis sermonibus odas.
Ille vaporatis afflatus haustibus erga
Auctorata volans altaria, liba piarum
Fundere jure precum studio satagebat inormi.
Unde sibi praeceptorem lucratus ad unguem,
133.0986A| Bis didicit bini pia dogmata docte fluenti,
Ritus paschales, varium lunaeque recursum,
Ignarasque suis latiatim sane rubricas.
Nomen erat tanto Bonifacius huic pedagogo,
Profuit iste viro nimium, quem glorificandum
Sub sacris papae venerabilis abdidit alis,
Exponens longos animi ferventis agones.
Quique fidem cernens, dextram praetendit, et ipsum
Liberius lata perfudit blande charita ( sic ).
Fultus sic pretiis sanctorum ex artubus almis
Relliquiis, pernix reduces supra memorati
Convertit gressus cara ad habitacula patris.
Commode cuncta meat, Lugduni celsa subintrat.

==VI. Post annos tres tondetur. Dalphino caeso, Britanniam repetit.==
<poem>
133.0986B| Quid narrem lacrymas alterna fronte profusas?
Gaudebant ambo, Wilfridus amore paterno,
Nec minus ipse pater dilecto pignore viso:
Quemque prius animo moerens laxarat amaro,
Permulcet, blandis dans basia casta lacertis.
Nunc singillatim modo miscent laeta vicissim.
Sero quidem rediit, verum tria lustra peregit
Hospite cum prisco, discens examine multo,
Abdita multimodae scrutarier antra sophiae.
Urit amor juvenem, nec tardat grata cupido,
Occuluit quod tecta pio synthemate virtus
Prodere. Nam crines summo de vertice passos
Pontificis dextra primum titulante recidit,
Optans vivificae sustollere stigma coronae.
Archipater gaudet heredem nactus opimum,
133.0986C| Cui queat eudoxas moriens committere caulas.
Arbiter ast rerum praesciverat hunc aliorsum
Vomere salvifico sulcare novalia Christo.
Francorum tum forte scelus vastissima pestis
Augebat, Balthild reginae nomine pistrix,
Olla velut fervens stygia fuligine tosta
Instabat laceris agios laniare creagris.
Non nostrum facinus metro discludere tantum.
Ecclesiae novem violaverat ense patronos [episcopos],
His licet exceptis, quos non capit ars numeralis.
Horum praefatus sine casu criminis unus,
Dalwinus fuerat verbo, re, speque beatus,
Quem fera multatrix lictoribus impietatis
Addixit saevas mucronis pendere poenas.
133.0986D| Hi mox arcessunt crudelia jura furentis,
Multivolae Domini beluae, quam jura tueri.
Ergo petens diri praefixum scamma duelli,
Accepit socium, quem fecerat ante propinquum.
Rennuit ipse tamen, huic ne foret exitus idem.
Sic Pater aeternam sumsit moriendo coronam,
Filius et fortes vixit tolerando labores,
Cum moerore gravi condivit funera caesi.
Protinus ipse parans reddi natalibus oris,
133.0987A| Caeruleum rapidis sulcabat Nerea [mare] remis.
Littora felici patuere salubria cursu.
</poem>
==VII. Regiam adit. A rege praedia accipit et II Ripense monasterium.==
<poem>
Fasces imperii reges tum forte gemelli,
Alfridus imperitans, una genitor simul Oswiu,
Foedere consorti servabant scitaque vulgi,
Ardentes animis subdi coelestibus orgiis [ i. e. mysteriis].
Nec potuit latebris abdi fax missa nefandis.
Mox proceres inter rumusculus exiit aulae,
Scilicet adventasse virum virtute vigetum,
Optima clavigeris qui fatur dogmata coeli.
Regalis sane subiit proscenia fundi,
Pax domui tunc, infit, huic, captimque loquelas
Tractat evangelicas, quas indice discere Christo
133.0987B| Promeruit, latae penetrans gymnasia Romae,
Quaeque sub argutis congesserat optima Gallis.
Attonitus stupidis princeps sermonibus ultro,
Non puduit glauco telluri sternier ostro,
Ore petens agii confestim se benedici.
Explevit. Cum rege manens, sat multa benigno
Obtinuit merito pecuaria, praedia, census,
Atque monasterium vulgari nomine HRipis.
Qui non aeratas instabat condere gazas,
Dapsilis ast cunctis, dedans hermenia vitae,
Pauperibus largas praebebat sedulus escas,
Exemplo pendens cogitet quid spiritus ardens.
</poem>
==VIII. Ab Aegilberto Gallo episcopo presbyter ordinatur.==
<poem>
Materiem fandi dabit amodo gratia tanti.
Interea Boreae praesul defertur ab oris.
133.0987C| Aegilbertus erat, doctrinae robore mactus,
Astabat ducibus, suadens quae mandat Jesus.
Is mox Wilfridi vitam meritumque notavit
Praecipuum. Sermone ducis sententia fertur,
Utile personam gradibus donando beari
Divinis, quam non hebetet censura palustris.
Allegat praesul facilis: verum ille juventae
Excursus trepidat, ne forsan mobilis aetas
Praecipitem pravae retrahat per competa sectae.
Tandem colla jugo subdens delecta petito,
Ordinis aptatur caelebs in honore secundi [ i. e. sacerdotii].
Tum magis atque magis fructu meliore gravescens,
Sufficiebat ovans cunctis documenta salutis.
</poem>
==IX. Schismate exhorto de Paschate, Wilfridus Scotos revincit.==
<poem>
133.0987D|
Orta dehinc pestis geminum discludit in orbem
Unicolam verae fidei sat morbide plebem.
Dumque tremunt bifido corruptae schismate partes,
Eoo coiere simul, gelida sed et Arcto,
133.0988A| Scottica plebs, et Picta cohors, vulgusque Britannum.
Hinc regale decus, ephoeborumque manipli,
Turba senum, praesul violento deditus Euro.
Stant acies dubio certatim fine retentae,
Publica declivae fiunt divortia lunae.
Inde loquax positae Colmanus episcopus umbrae,
Dat praecepta prior subito lapsura fragore.
Nos seriem patriam, non frivola scripta tenemus,
Discipulo Eusebii Polycarpo dante Joannis.
Ille etenim bis septenae sub tempore phoebae,
Sanctum praefixit nobis fore Pascha colendum:
Atque nefas dixit, si quis contraria sentit.
Docte quidem morem narrans depromsit avitum,
Utpote praeteritae recolens choragia zoae [vitae].
Sed non aequatis appendit lancibus aequi
133.0988B| Testamenta Dei, veris aequata chylindris.
Condoluere Patres, caeco quia numine fratres
Nituntur validis tabularia menda tueri,
Obicibus faciles nec cedunt posse refelli.
Heroum jussu clivosi tramitis atqu
Anfractus lubricae prudenter devia sectae
Wilfridus legitur spermologus arte sagaci
Pellere, nota peregrinae cui famina glossae.
Hinc dubios inter cuneos orator adorsus:
Ter centum memini ter senos atque gerontas,
Limpida collectim Nicaeae exempla tulisse.
Quae si perspiciant, mox eluctabitur omnis
Desidiae scabies, torvis illata chelydris.
Metarunt etenim ter seni themata cycli
In sese refluos juncto monade recursus.
133.0988C| Hic tenet: ignorat sed hunc gens indiga veri,
Caecutiens lippis quid differt discere ocellis.
Dixerat, effertur legionum valde favore.
Addit praeterea plano sermone profatus:
Haec immota manent cunctos oracula soles.
Stirps quaecumque volet fixos obvertere fines,
Tartara flammiferis sudibus sub acerba rotetur.
Quo dicto siluit Princeps, canique sequaces
Frigida convulsis vexabant pectora pugnis.
Solvitur in tenerum confestim concio luctum.
Dulcia post modicum rex mitis protulit ora:
Condecet eniti poenis Acherontis adusti,
Exemptas justis mentes miscere suadelis,
Dicite, quaeso, Patres [ f. fidei] fervore calentes,
133.0988D| Numquid olympiaca Petro quis major in aula?
Quem nos et prisci dudum legere tyranni.
An Columchilla quo plebs infausta superbit?
Synodus elata respondit voce beata:
Petrus ab altithrono donatus desmate Jesu,
Difficit ignavae torquentia lora senectae,
133.0989A| Suscipit elisiis justum spiramina zetis [mansionibus],
Utpote coelestes retinens pro munere claves.
Hunc, inquit, plebes, hunc amplexemur et omnes,
Ne non vitalis pandatur regia templi.
Rex ait, et victi cesserunt improbe Picti,
Colmanusque suas inglorius abjicit arces,
Malens Ausonias victus dissolvere leges.
</poem>
==X. Eboraci designatur episcopus. In Gallia vult ordinari.==
<poem>
Auxit rorigeri per quem micat astrea coeli
Victoris specimen, quem jam transvexerat Alpem.
Nam postquam dicto sedes viduata patrono;
Consulto Regis, necnon hortamine plebis,
Lactea suspensis qui praebeat ubera mandris,
133.0989B| Wilfridum patria creverunt voce legendum,
Lilia suppressis et norit comere lappis.
Territus ipse quidem viridis pro tempore succi,
Mille movens animo balearica tela nefandi
Hostis, et ignotas aegrotis sensibus auras.
Sed ne blasphemae ruat in praerupta catervae,
Aut vitet sceleris madidas lustrare lacunas;
Suscepit humilis quid fors jubet imperialis.
Ergo manet solitus succincto sudor alumno,
Emicuit quamvis genialis flamine vertex.
Convenere dies graduum, quibus ardua moles
Excipienda viro. Tunc fatur regibus ultro:
Inconcussa, duces, vestri sententia, quaeso,
Si fortunatis agitat mea dogmata fatis,
Primum praeteriti fas est meminisse laboris.
133.0989C| Nam superest recidiva lues dum lisque veterna,
Monstris haud patiar maculatis colla beari.
Gallica non paucis pavit me glarea aristis [annis],
Hesperiumque decus laribus servatur in illis.
Illac commissi properans sandalia juris
Accipiam, pontus ni forte repagula nostris
Classibus opponat, valido turbone coactus.
Indulgent proceres, magnates, necne calones.
</poem>
==XI. Fretum trajicit. Consecratur.==
<poem>
Mox rebus gestis ornatur regia classis,
Coelicolae socias laeta exceptura phalanges.
Navita felicis defixit stigmata clavi.
Multiplices nectens malo trutinante rudentes.
Solvitur, et laxis fastigia spumea verrunt
133.0989D| Ocius antemnis pelagi, nec inepta capessunt
Littora, gratanti subeunt et pectore portum.
Interea placidi patuit legatio nautae.
Pontifices coeunt alacres, ut nota voluntas
In conventiculis adsumitur immaculatis,
Pertonuitque tubis aedes pretiosa beatis.
Stat duodena cohors multis stipata columnis,
Exsultant jubilo miscentes organa sistro,
Mystica veriloquo traduntur et arma ministro.
Occiput effuso gratis pinguescit olivo,
133.0990A| Candiduli primum renitent ornacula lini,
Aurifluae rutilant serrano murice zonae,
Comuntur roseo candentia podere colla,
Gemmata vehitur archontum more curuli,
Induit ormiscum subiit hoc schemate templum.
Postquam signa tulit multo radiata metallo,
Astitit, eucharis [eucharistia] libamina consecrat aris,
Omnibus expletis remeat, navemque subintrat.
</poem>
==XII. Rediens tempestate jactatur. A praedonibus impetitur. Victor portum attingit.==
<poem>
Sed quia felices tentatio comprobat omnes
Indivisa comes; dum tensis alta pererrant
Marmora Psalmigraphi recolentes orgia velis
Ecce repentinis pontus fundotenus undis
Infremuit, casus agitans artemo minaces
133.0990B| Longe sub ignotis minitat labentia ripis
Agmina dira pati vicinae impendia mortis.
Incumbunt remis, vexatur languida puppis.
Cruribus ipse Pater navalia procubus arma
Confirmat positis, intentans lumina coelis.
Ecce sub infausti contraria littora portus
Gens effera suis casum spectabat in armis,
Praedari fragilem captiva plebe carinam.
Quos Pater intuitus, humili sermone precatus:
Naufragium servatis, ait, sed sponte mearum
Grandia contribuam, resipiscite, munera rerum.
Nos equidem gravis afflictat violentia ponti:
Sed velox aderit, fateor, miseratio Christi.
Stans volucres augur solitus servare sinistras,
133.0990C| Despumat tumidis oracula saeva labellis:
Eumenides furias vocitat sub murmure Parcas,
Manibus infernis ut fortis mandat Erinis [Erinnys]
Expedit admisso plebs cara cruore litari.
Hoc ait, et properans bellum ferale perurget.
Praesul item sanctas tendens ad sidera palmas,
Invocat auxilium divinitus adfore magnum.
Haec inter tereti juvenis scutale lapillo
Ornat, et infandi torquens per inania vatis,
Figens sincipiti trajecit in antra cerebri.
Corruit utque vafer, clamoribus aestuat aether
Cara dehinc recolit pastor miracula David:
Incubat ipse magis, avertitur impia pestis.
Conclamant acies truculento marte ruentes,
Vocibus infestis concursant agmina regis.
133.0990D| Quid plura? quoties crudelia bella lacessunt,
Excipiunt ictus Jesu vigilante cruentos.
Unde quater victi remeant, victorque sereno
Evehitur pelago, frustratus remige quino,
Optatumque tenent repetito limite portum.
</poem>
==XII. Ceadda Eboraci substituto, in HRipense monasterium secedit. A Volfario rege Merciorum expetitur. Cantiae ministros ordinat, monasteria construit.==
<poem>
Hi quoque quos pridem regalis concio victos
133.0991A| Expulerat, fraude tantum potuere mereri.
Gallica detentus ponto dum rura vagatus,
Temperiem lente speraret adesse jocundam,
Mutavit malefida locum defectio regis.
Constituunt etenim perverso canone Coeddam,
Moribus acclinem, doctrinae robore fortem,
Praesulis eximii servare cubilia: sicque
Audacter vivo sponsam rapuere marito.
Obvia turba Patri luctu quatiente revelat,
Divertitque humilis sub nota mapalia HRipis.
Usque adeon, potuit quisquam nescire moveri?
Non hunc subreptae tanto discrimine sedes,
Non illum sumti multo luctamine fasces,
Aut labor, aut tumidi conterruit ira profundi:
Spe meliore manet latebris contectus in illis.
133.0991B| Saepe licet proprias videtur pascere ovillas,
Nulla datur requies, vicino urgente colono.
Quaeritur a ducibus, quorum Wlfarius unus,
Nobilibus pollens per Mercica regna triumphis;
Vix potuit fato pastorem efferre locello.
Qui postquam meruit tanto doctore potiri,
Affectu coluit, terris et honore ditavit.
Ekbertus vero, quem Cantia rura timebant,
Dum pastore caret, flexo rogitamine poscit,
Ordinet ut sacros decreto more ministros.
His ita digestis, natales prospere fines
Asseculis fultus repetit fastu sine multis.
Plures instituit normali tramite cellas.
Vitam privato servare monebat asylo.
Se quoque continuis ter ducti solibus anni
133.0991C| Accinxit solitis fidei pugnacibus armis:
Nec cessit diri spolians capitolia furis.
</poem>
==XIV. A Theodoro sedi restituitur.==
<poem>
Emensis igitur praedicti temporis annis,
Mittitur Ausoniis pastorum praesul ab oris
Cultor justitiae Theodorus ac pietatis.
Comperit ut justum collata sede revulsum,
In commune dolet violatae foedera legis.
Mox foribus raptis Coeddam dimovit, et apte
Praefecit sedi longum pastore vacanti,
Wilfridumque suis redimivit protinus aulis.
Sic patiens meruit collato jure pacisci.
</poem>
==XV. Templum resarcit. H Ripensem basilicam sacrat.==
<poem>
133.0991D| Redditus ergo suis, instabat promtius illis.
Ecclesiae vero fundamina cassa vetustae,
Culmina dissuto violabant trabe palumbes.
Humida contrito stillabant assere tecta:
Livida nudato suggrundia pariete passa
Imbricibus nullis: pluviae quacunque vagantur.
Pendula discissis fluitant laquearia tignis,
133.0992A| Fornice marcebant cataractae dilapidato.
His ita contuitis, exhorruit ilicet alti
Viribus ingenii reparare peribula templi.
Incumbunt fessi vasto sudore latomi,
Nec minus approperant opicizi ( sic ) emblemata proni
Arcus incultos hyalino [vitreo] claudere velo.
Pondus et informes atlantes [columnas] ferre priores
Jussit et expletum: lymphis perfunditur absis,
Albanturque suis lustrata altaria peplis.
Exin glorifico persolvit munia Christo.
Crescit summa viri, crescit dilectio sancti,
Virtutum genitrix almorum florida nutrix.
Non igitur coeptum dissolvit dexia [ i. e. prosperitas] votum,
Picria neve tulit. Seu dissologia [discordia] rupit,
133.0992B| Theosopho spirans animo cognata synergus
Oppida diffuso HRipis amplificare colurno.
Illic planata decusatim vomere terra,
Symmetriis perpendiculo perfecte libratis,
Ecclesiam statuit, talamum Christoque dicavit,
Tandem post paucas ornatis rebus imeras.
Convenere duces, necnon basileia pubes,
Tristatae comites, vulgi promiscua strages,
Ecclesiae proceres aedem pro more beantes,
Ornarunt altare Petri sub honore canori.
Stans in cancellis dat cunctis sperma salutis,
Regibus edixit, repetitaque rura recepit,
Verbo necne cibo triduo turbam satiavit.
Optima quaeque dedit libens exenia miris
133.0992C| Deflorata modis, capsacibus [atque gemellis (gemmulis)
Codex aurato conseptus grammate scriptus,
Auctus ( sic ) evangelicum servans in corpore textum.
Cumque benignivolo persolveret omnia corde,
Inflatur nullo Jesu moderamine typho.
Quapropter merita donatus digne chorea
Floruit, ut quondam Moysi sub tempore lampas,
Pandens aeternae callem patriamque quietis,
Atque domos sibimet superae religionis amicas.
</poem>
==XVI. Baptizatos confirmat. Puerum mortuum suscitat, eumque baptizat et Deo sacrat.==
<poem>
Quid? loquar an sileam? verbi da, Christe, lucernam.
Exiguum dixi, liceat jam rumpere longas
133.0992D| Inscitia cogente moras, ne lingua pudorem
Praesumtrix tulerit. Neque enim modo sufficit ulla
Virtutum pelagus percurrere rite tuarum,
Quas meruere tui per te complere coloni.
E numero quorum Wilfridus marchio summus,
Nobiliter superae ducens per pascua vitae
Pastor alebat oves: ut propulit eminus hostes,
133.0993A| Monstrabat liquidis salvandos tinguere lymphis
In Patris et Nati necnon et Flaminis almi
Nomine, chrismales adhibens Pater ipse fluores.
Quem populi pulcra medium cinxere corona.
Ecce per offusas denso tamen agmine turmas
Plena metu mulier, defunctae funera prolis,
Sandapilam fugiens, fessis ostentat in ulnis.
Stat turbis immista fides, terrorque gementem
Afflictant tacitis circum praecordia flagris.
Tum Pater accessit, mox pallida conspicit ora.
Obstipuit, haesitque loco temeraria latrix,
Pronior incubuit, luctum singultibus auxit.
O Pater, elatam noli deponere dextram.
Orbatam nato matrem cur despicis uno?
En qui confirmas Christum fore [esse] cunctipotentem,
133.0993B| Imple fidem gestis, miserae da pignus alumnae.
Ingeminat querulas instanti murmure voces.
Concio concurrit gemitu collecta misellae.
Fit plangor grandis. Tandem compassus herilis
Praesul, agit tacitas sancto sub pectore grates,
Perfida quod novit Jesum rogitare caterva.
Moxque solo fixus claros in corde meatus
Tunc reserat, faciem lacrymis et corcula palmis
Afficit, Adonaique pio clamore citavit.
Consurgens autem praesensit adesse salutem.
Timpora cumque manu palpasset frigida; functus
Caesariem movit, vitali redditus aura.
Vulgus inexpletas confusis vocibus odas,
Haec ubi sunt patrata, dedit: puer illico sacris
133.0993C| Baptizatur aquis, miserae dans gaudia matri.
Protinus acceptum secum portavit alendum,
Jussa patri post septenos ut redderet annos.
Ast cogente fero contemsit dicta marito,
Exsul ad externos fugiens cum prole Britannos.
Nec multum latuit. Posthaec non sponte reduxit
Praefectus puerum quidam Patris in dominatum,
Exin divinis illum famulatibus addit.
Pluribus exemplo puer isdem profuit almo.
Tunc fax emicuit, quae inter crepitacula fulsit.
</poem>
==XVII. Angliae felix status. Egfridus rex Nortanhumbrorum Pictos rebelles perdomat Wilfridi meritis.==
<poem>
Anglum tum gemina fulgebat lampade regnum.
Pontifices regis consulto digna gerebant,
Rex quoque praesulibus latria servibat honora.
133.0993D| Summa quies plebi legalia jura tenenti.
Frugiferis gravida gaudebant horrea glebis,
Epibatae [nautae] faciles ausu sprevere latrones.
Classica dira silent, nec formidatur egestas:
133.0994A| Promicat Ecclesia pacato foedere nexa.
Laetifer invidit, conamina mille reclusit,
Rumperet ut sanctam perverso schismate pacem.
Aggeribus crassis nisa est gens Picta rebellis,
Anglorum solitas jam tunc non ferre catenas.
Egfridus imperii largas retinebat habenas.
Conjunx alma viro Edildrid, famosa virago,
Addita conjugio vixit castissima virgo.
Princeps ergo leves animo flammante cohortes
Admovet, indomitoque reos mucrone trucidat.
Exclusere duos caesis ex hostibus amnes,
Manubiis fratri regis venere manipli,
Dant stragem late, redeunt in colla catenae:
Perfruitur magno rex victor longe triumpho.
Non armis etenim raro cum milite vicit:
133.0994B| Sed virtute Dei, meritis et praesulis almi,
Obtinuit gentes vacuo turgore minaces.
</poem>
==XVIII. Mercii quoque perdomantur.==
<poem>
Nec minus innumeras, dum Mercica regna tumerent,
Cuspide confossas stravit rex iste catervas.
Quorum dux cessit fugiens, aevoque sequenti
Addidit Arctois borealia sceptra triumphis,
Fultus magnifico Wilfridi plane rogatu.
</poem>
==XIX. Wilfridus pie vivit.==
<poem>
Virtus ergo viri nullo sudore remitti,
Neve supercilio subrectis nisibus extra
Justitiae verum diduci quibat oestrum [stimulum].
Sane per ignotas instanter mente pererrans,
Divinae gentes sationis tempore passim
Dilatans, exercitium non segne gerebat.
133.0994C| Excubiis pernox gaudens instare secretis,
Corpus perspicuis castum purgat in undis.
Ingeniti fervore laris ne torreat ustum.
Non ardor Phoebi, non algida tempora brumae
Dulcia conceptae rupere volumina curae:
Donec apostolicis jamjam defecta senectus
Praeceptis tanto meruit squalore resolvi.
Nec solus poti scyphum consumere rivi
Fas fore decrevit: jejunia laeta luebat,
Subjectosque viam praecurrens duxit in artam.
Conflua turba ducum soboles conferre sub ipsum
Gaudebat, mirata piam morum probitatem,
Seu servire Deo, seu nosse palatia justo.
Haec quoque falsiloquis praebebant jura linguis,
Ast athleta Dei contectus vellere pacis,
133.0994D| Obsequium mitis odiis suffibat acerbis.
</poem>
==XX. S. Andreae basilicam condit. Elisum sospitati redintegrat.==
<poem>
Praeterea templum caesis instaurat arenis,
133.0995A| Circumdans caecis sinuato fornice cryptis,
Lenibus obductas pingens flavoribus aulas.
Mox recolit tardae collata juvamina linguae,
Andreaeque pii vocitamen contulit arae.
Invidia mortiferi non defuit aura chelydri.
Trullissant etenim muri dum futilis alta,
Corruit in praeceps colliso corpore frater.
Cruscula gressuros non norunt solvere tractus,
Elisisque tori [colli] marcescunt horride fibris.
Ultima cum timidae traheret suspiria vitae,
Concurrunt tristes ad haec funebria plebes.
Praescia mens Patris statim cognovit in antris.
Extimplo lacrymis puro de pectore fusis,
Hortatur reliquos Dominum obsecrare dolentes,
Ut reparet laesam pastor supremus ovillam.
133.0995B| Adfuit, et properam sumserunt membra salutem,
Erubuit laetum vita mediante repulsum.
Quapropter magni laudarunt munera Christi.
</poem>
==XXI. Ermemburgae reginae impulsu Egifridus rex. Theodori consensu, Wilfridis dioecesim in tres partitur. Romam appellat Wilfridus. Insectantium poenas praedicit.==
<poem>
Daemonis ira fremens tantam vult subdole gnosiu
Fallere, delecto quo primum milite caeso
Invalidi fragiles perterreat agminis hastas.
Plurima maturans antiqua recurrit ad arma,
Corrupitque levem regis morbose jugalem.
Haec virosa malae jaciens tum tela pharetrae,
Corcula strophoso violavit vulnere regis,
Rancidulis infesta modis, ceu garrula perdix,
133.0995C| Culpabat justum collatis rebus abuti.
Gloria namque viro totis a partibus orbis,
Agricolae plures, fecundae gramina terrae,
Procurvi proceres, juvenum fetura locuples,
Insuper aethereae monachorum concio vitae.
Postquam pestiferum penetravit corda venenum,
Adscivere suis deceptum prone loquelis
Veri doctorem, justi quoque pene sequacem
Theodorum, supra cecinit quem rustica musa.
Annuit ipse quidem regalibus improbe coeptis,
Substituens ternos sub nomine praesulis intra
Contiguos Patri fines illo usque monarchas (episcopos).
Audiit Eutyches quid rex sibi contrahat, imas
Percontare volens naevo sine criminis iras,
133.0995D| Alta petit lento triclinia opipare gressu.
133.0996A| Ecce faces tanti stimulatoresque pericli
Obriguere metu, commentaturque maligna.
Cur laedor, Pater, inquit, ab his, quos nulla fatigat
Nostrarum, fateor, impune molestia legum?
Nos, aiunt, facinus quamvis cogente senatu
Ponimus, haud quodquam nefas decreta refelli.
Sic testes scelerum firi [fieri] potuere suorum.
Antistes vero nollens desistere coepto,
Quidquid ei pravum pseudo-theosebia nectit,
Romuleo sanxit voto fore discutiendum.
Intuitus quosdam foedo insultare cachinno:
O utinam laetos pueri feliciter annos
Ducatis! sed gaudia sors infesta resolvet.
Nec prius in refluos venient haec tempora soles,
Immatura nimis quam tristia fata luatis.
133.0996B| Haec ait, et sobrio compressit verba palato.
Alfwine post jugulum populi luxere profatum,
Inferias caeso dantes moerendo Clitoni
Cujus post tumulum fratris victoria fluxit.
</poem>
==XXII. Mare transmisso ad Fresones deportatus verbum Dei praedicat.==
<poem>
His ita compertis rediit, laetoque negatas
Corde revisit oves, arentia pectora blandis
Paulatim reparat solamina dando loquelis.
Interea pernix obliquo littore celox [scapha]
Solvitur, aequoreos pertentatura meatus.
Quam circum monachi, dextra laevaque relicti,
Fausta patri pariter lacrymosis questibus orant.
Tunc inimica seges igni tradenda perenni,
Non contenta suae virus fudisse kakiae [malitiae,]
133.0996C| Legatos regi Francorum dirigit, atque
Oeconomum Domini praedati impune petivit.
Sed superi pietate ducis conamina falsa
Macario nullas quibant inferre ruinas.
Laetiferas vero scrobibus versute latentes
Decipulas sensit Winfridus praesul, eisdem
Perditus insidiis, tantum monogrammate lusus.
Praeterea flabris aliorsum prospere versis,
Freisonum laetis portum percepit in oris.
Gentiles stupuere nimis, sed summa mekotes ( sic )
Regem cum ducibus placatos reddidit omnes.
Categorans [praedicans] ergo divinum sperma popello,
Aperuit dulces in falsis rupibus amnes.
Tum pecudum fetura habilis, tum semen in arvis
133.0996D| Crevit, et exsultant sollemniter opiliones.
133.0997A| Post modicum multis tribuit baptisma salutis,
Et fundavit eas Wilbrordus quas habet arces,
Aequiparans tantum fidei fervore magistrum.
</poem>
==XXIII. Frisonum regem in Wilfridum accendere nititur Ebroinus.==
<poem>
Nec tutela ducem, quem multae copia gazae
Francorum rupit, furiis accendit acerbis.
Syngraphidem sculpsit, munus venale notavit,
Quiret Adalgisum collatis subdole regem
Implanare opibus Efruinus [Ebroinus] philocompos
Legati properant, paraphrastica jussa revelant.
Rex vero phronymus scindens ferale volumen,
Aspernatus eos, flammis projecit in altis.
Imprecor aeterno pereat sic caumate, quisquis
Compactae quaerit fidei dissolvere nodos,
133.0997B| Infit: et infestos jussit remeare sodales.
Haud dubium quin lustratus fulgore superno,
Ad cunas agii quondam qui luxit ab alto.
</poem>
==XXIV. Apostrophe ad reginam.==
<poem>
Imprudens mulier, justum furialibus armis.
Cur stimulas? sat erat patria expunxisse beatum.
Quid mare sollicitas? quid casses abde charybdi?
Num tibi quadripatens obedit machina ruris?
Tene jubente poli rutilabit dextimus axis?
Siste, capesse fidem, dynami capieris eadem,
Ocius amisso mutaberis ipsa marito,
Grassatrix scelerum fies inimica luporum,
Christi candidulos pasces modo mitior agnos.
Quem nunc persequeris, posthac devota sequeris,
133.0997C| Multa dehinc populis adhibens monimenta salutis.
Ista per ecstasin scalpello lusimus unco.
Coepta libet solito nunc insanire cothurno.
</poem>
==XXV. Wilfridus ad Dagobertum se recipit.==
<poem>
Ver gelidos tepidis jam solverat aestibus Alpes,
Viribus adsumtis cum praesul laetus ab illis
Gallica rura petens exivit finibus, atque
Nota subit fidens Dagoberti moenia regis.
Is equidem merito, venturus ut adseret ordo,
Publica suscepto praebebat laeta patrono.
Perditus, ut nostis, inquit, popularibus alis,
Excepi moestas tenero olim somate erumnas.
Adscendi tremulum non multo remige lembum,
Pulsus ad ignavos adulescens exsul Hibernos.
133.0997D| En vobis, cujus merui tutamine reddi;
Per me, perque tuam, miles delecte, salutem,
Si qua fides animo, tantum servemus amicum.
133.0998A| Exsultant proceres: neque enim leve principis extra
Praecipuum fas est subjectos velle meare.
Obtulit egregias immenso oromate sedes,
Ire catillatum nec vult rex ultra beatum
Friguttire, petit vetitas alacrior arces.
Magnanimus vero votis regalibus heros.
Non cessit: verum rebus sociisque levatus,
Quin etiam sumto Deodato praesule pergit.
Rursus ab objecto properans sibi rege paratum
Vadit ad hospitium. Bertherus namque patentes
Imperitans terras multo terrore regebat.
Ipse pio solans justum suscepit amore.
Post epulas et post grati carchesia bacchi,
Rex coepit narrare Patri, qui livida civis
Viderit orsa mali sese violare volentis.
133.0998B| Ast ego praeteriti memor, inquit, sancte, pericli,
Ut quondam tellure mea privatus, amaras
Externo sub rege degens sensi cicatrices.
Foedere sed multo quamvis servatus ab humo,
Evasi saevos discedens liber amicos.
Me quoque muneribus voluerunt fallere latis,
Quo te deciperent glauci lacerando Britanni.
Quod si me fidei gentilis amore tenacis
Vendere despexit, te nec minus ipse fovebo.
Claxendix tonuit, comites rex promtulus auxit.
Sic Romana petunt pernicibus atria plantis.
</poem>
==XXVI. Ipso praesente Romae synodus convocatur, in qua restituitur Wilfridus.==
<poem>
Cursores sed jam praemiserat archipolites
Theodorus. Tum Wilfridi pia fama beati
133.0998C| Ausonias notis penetravit nutibus aulas.
Euge ciunt cives certatim protinus omnes.
Exterit abiegnas Petri dignissime valvas.
Agatho apostolicas decorabat praesul habenas,
Justitia simplex, aequi non marcidus auspex.
Edictum posuit, patrium syntagma gregavit,
Atque quater duodena Patrum, nectente diade
Agmina conduxit, communi famine dixit:
Cultus et Ecclesiae fucatur sanctio priscae,
Ni coquat emersas calor ecclesiasticus herbas.
Anglica comperimus vexari pessime regna,
Dum praeter fixos fiunt discidia fines.
Arguto fratres fratrum discrimine clades.
Pendite ne rudibus pereant antiqua bilibris.
133.0998D| Primores Itali trutina pietatis adulti,
Talia doctiloquo retulerunt fata magistro:
Incipe, pastor, habes veterum decreta virorum.
133.0999A| Nunc illos admitte, placet, quos multa fatigant
Instigante fide spatiosae incommoda terrae.
Decernes sermone pio, quid subditus ordo,
Et quid quaeque colant, seu quid vitare jubentur
Ecclesiae, scelus hoc pacto vacuabitur omne.
Allusit: statimque sacras Wilfridus in aedes
Cogitur ipse suas jussus narrare querelas.
Obtulit expressum Patribus diploma legendum,
Ut patriae curas ovium ceu lucra piarum
Sedulus obsequio tractaverit, utque dicatas
Invidia cogente fores suspenderit, atque
Eheu pontificum fraudes qui more procorum
Ornatam proprio sponsam invasere patrono.
Non ego criminibus quemquam depravo peractis.
Praestolor Hesperia qui judicer, inquit, ab aula,
133.0999B| Omnia versifico longum exanthlare relatu.
Alternae perhibent sincera oracula partes
Expromisisse virum: prorsus hunc esse legendum,
Cujus apostolico solidandae robore vires,
Hoc virus ne serpat, et incautos malesano
Inficiat succo, dum Justum pessimat atrox.
Annuit, et scriptis legalibus archierarchus [papa]
Theodoro regique jubet sancita notari.
Ni pietate pari conservent jussa magistri,
Judicio Domini cunctos anathemate plecti,
Quaerentes animam sine re damnare beati.
</poem>
==XXVII. Dagoberto bello impetito et caeso Wilfridus ob ipsum servatum convicio appetitur.==
<poem>
His ita fundatis, ne sicut apostata vilis,
Aut legum profugus sola quaerat perdere nota;
133.0999C| Limitibus planis excessit finibus illis.
Uritur infestus humanae prolis amicus,
Commaculare bonum perquirens livide votum.
Nam properans patuli dum verreret aequora campi,
Conglomerata suis furunt collegia signis
Noxia, regali, ceu fertur, sanguine fuso.
Civiles etenim Dagobertus Marchio dextras
Senserat, et rigidum capulotenus inguine ferrum.
Praelia vibratis intentant comminus hastis.
Arduus excusso quorum convicia telo
Unus pontifici foedo sic ingerit ore:
Delator patriae petulans, moribunde viator,
Gallica tu pridem violasti sceptra, relato,
Qui periit caesus, quem jure sequere, tyranno.
An pravum gessi, regem dum forte remisi?
133.0999D| Inquit, et opto pati gaudens pro nomine Christi.
Mox truculenta ruunt hastilia: deinde remissis
Acclines rogitant ancilibus ut benedicat.
Crediderim rutilo perculsi fulminis igne,
Quod patuit mundo, dum matris fluxit ab alvo.
</poem>
==XXVIII. In Angliam reversus litteras exhibet pontificias.==
<poem>
Nil metuens ergo pertransit gramina tuto,
Securusque cavas intrat velociter alnos [naves].
133.1000A| Multivido fratrum post haec oramine fultus,
Auctorata ferens Petri vexilla beati,
Regales adiit, dans rectis gaudia, postes.
Bullatas offert signato cortice chartas.
Confestim doctae pariter coiere catervae,
Quid narret Romanus apex, audire paratae.
Archistrateios solio prospectat ab alto,
Jus crudele sacris ausus dictare loquelis.
</poem>
==XXIX. Quibus spretis, ipse in carcerem conjicitur.==
<poem>
Post evangelicum catorthoma, post recitatas
Sedis apostolicae causas, indigne ferebant
Oppositi quidam raptam persolvere praedam.
Urgebantur acri furioso pectore bile:
Permulcentque, nefas: perverso fasmate [famine] regem
133.1000B| Spernere syngraphas furtivis rebus adeptas:
Symmystenque Dei gaudent sychophanta notari.
Tandem semoto Patrem trusere locello,
Blanda retractantem regis promissa superni,
Olim qui dixit, qui vos hic, me quoque spernit.
Tum regina gravis hujusce schismatis auctrix,
Praesumsit pretias [pretiosas] sancto divellere capsas,
Non impune sibi tantam sociata rapinam.
</poem>
==XXX. Oratio ipsius ad suos.==
<poem>
Ergo opibus sociis pessumdatus inclytus heros,
Famina mirifico fratribus depromsit ab ore.
Gloria multa, loquens, multo captanda labore.
Cana Patrum series, longos experta dolores,
133.1000C| Vincere multiplices meruit divinitus hostes.
Heroum duodenus apex patiendo beatas
Sidereumque decus Jesu tribuente coronas
Excepit, multum modico lucratur ab ipso.
Nostra licet duram patiantur corpora sortem,
Mentes triticeo coelis indentur acervo,
Quo fruges animae capientur mox locupletes.
Praemia non quaerat, ni qui tolerando triumphat.
Dixit, et actutum lictorum torva vorago
Obstitit, et raptum tenebroso vinxit in antro.
</poem>
==XXXI. In carcere illustratur luce superna.==
<poem>
Qualem te, pastor, laetum tristemve fatebor?
Laetabare quidem te Christi post fore risten ( sic );
Flebas damna gregis pastorum verbere laesi.
Actu coenoso dum stringeris undique vallo,
133.1000D| Num solito non quivisti fulgore potiri?
Exacuere leves inimici frustra ligones,
Nequiquam ancipites inspicant acrius enses.
Tempestiva tibi funduntur lumina coelis,
Inviso properat consueta porismate [meatu] lampas,
Pervigil excubias Jesu dum solvis amatas.
Testis adest custos, ergastula saeva serenis
Inspiciens radiare focis in tempore noctis.
133.1001A| Quid minus a Petro, cui lumen fulserat arto?
Digne quidem parili posthac donabere serto,
Quem voto sequeris, quem tormentis imitaris.
Et ne desperes, aequo splendore nitescis.
</poem>
==XXXII. Pontificias litteras violari non patitur.==
<poem>
Interea multis vexatur fraudibus almos
Exsecrare apices, actusque probare feroces.
Vertex si capulo, dixit, caedatur acerbo,
Aut terebrent costas instantia pila tenellas;
Unum iota meo nunquam frustrabitur astu,
Quae sanxere Patres Petri documenta sequentes.
Sic legit fuscos primatum offendere vultus
Non et apostolicos consensit fallere ritus.
</poem>
==XXXIII. Praesidis uxorem pene exanimem sanat.==
<poem>
133.1001B| Carpitur inde gravi conjunx dilecta veterno
Praesidis, infaustas ha ha! procurantis habenas.
Corpore contrito, compagibus atque solutis,
Mortua contractis fluitabant viscera nervis.
Sensu pene carens, extis jam condolomatis
Grande viro scrupulum congesserat, extima vitae
Spectanti, dum praeteritae spiramina reddat.
Protrahit illa moras: tandem velociter artas
Vir supplex satagit sancto reserare catenas.
Fletibus haud modicis deposcit opem medicantis.
Ergo Pater, solito pietatis munere fisus,
Passibus approperat conferre juvamen anhelis.
Adfuit, et turbas removeri jussit adactas.
Hinc precibus fusis, perfudit viscera lymphis:
Mox rediit priscos vitalis fervor in artus.
133.1001C| Nil nocuere virum crudelia lora beatum:
Quin alacri vultu lucum remeavit in ipsum,
Nec puduit tetras iterum curare cavernas.
Praefecto cognomen erat quem diximus Osferd ( al. Osfred,)
Conjugis ereptae vocitamen dicitur Ebbae,
Post modicum sacro gaudebat condita velo.
</poem>
==XXXIV. Artius religatur, sed frustra. Solvitur.==
<poem>
At Praeses timidus, rerumque stupore coactus,
Malle pati propriae dixit dispendia vitae
Intimat, et saevo quam justum prodere regi
Isque tumens nimium praecipit acerbius illum
Compedibus rigidi damnatum carcere ferri
Stringere, mutata custodis sorte prioris.
Urgentur chalybes furcos aptare bicornes,
133.1001D| Et sterili funes nexare labore trilices,
Quis terrere queant athletae corda ligati.
Sed quo suppliciis animo mordacius instant,
Prorsus eo minimum se profecisse stupebant.
Nam quaecunque sacris nectebant vincula membris;
Aut diffusa cadunt, aut forte incongrua fiunt:
Artubus innocuis libertas cessit herilis.
O crudele genus! frustra contunditur incus.
O scelerata manus! quid prodest laedere corpus?
Non metuit jugulum, quem contremit indere lorum.
Digne satis gressus tremulae fugere catenae,
133.1002A| Pacifice qui currebant per competa vitae.
Ergo alacres pastor curans mitissimus agnos,
Lingua perdocuit, manibus baptismate tinxit.
</poem>
==XXXV. Regina ob sublatum reliquiarium punitur. Wilfrido liberato convalescit.==
<poem>
Oppida commissi verum dum marchio regni
Permeat, illecebras explens pompose caducas,
Ecce repentino turbantur gaudia casu.
Dum raptis etenim conjunx regalis abuti
Audet relliquiis, spirans typho impietatis;
Vindex ira subit, satan per viscera gannit:
Quem coluit petulans, hujus sit hospita bacchans.
Talibus attonitis accessit regia nutrix
Anne patent, inquit, veteris commissa piacli?
Extera Wilfridum violant ergastula justum:
133.1002B| At tua terrifico quatiuntur daemone membra.
Sprevisti emeritas Petri de culmine chartas:
Excipis en dignas irato judice poenas.
Capsaces [phylacteria] collo demsisti immunda verendo:
Nunc moribunda Baal vinciris et ipsa veruto.
Naribus immanes ceu fundens torridus ignes,
Rex aderat, quem sic genitrix affatur honesta:
Jam memor esto tui, loetargum subrue, fili,
Ultio dilectam profligat summa jugalem.
Sed tu sceptrigeram si vis augescere dextram,
Vincula solve viri, quoquam sine crimine nexi:
Et si fers animo, jubeas discedere regno.
Annuit invitus, patuit mox carcer apertus,
Reddidit et claram nubes densissima stellam.
133.1002C| Protinus immeritam sensit regina medelam.
</poem>
==XXXVI. Wilfridus liber deserit patriam. Palabundus adversariorum factione.==
<poem>
Excedens igitur patriam cognataque rura
Deserit, australesque petit velut advena terras.
Nobilis expulsum per devia quaeque viator
Obvius excepit, mundi quia summa potestas
Indefinito praefixerat omnia verbo,
Defore nil justis spondens pro se tribulatis.
Regia progenies Berthwaldus munere dives
Nec latuit: statimque furor hostilis inarsit.
Sed Pater a solito nunquam sudore fatiscens,
Instruxit gregibus monastica jura fugatis.
Jam fati tellure viri tunc invida pestis
Corda ducis zabuli praestrinxit hospitis apti,
133.1002D| Fratris Edilredi per Mercica regna decori,
Cujus in obsequio conjunx inimica manebat,
Ekfridi germana trucis tumidique tyranni.
Hi pulsare virum multo terrore serenum
Haud cessant, coguntque datam molimine pravo
Degenerare fidem. Sic compulit ire carentem
Hospitis auxilio, comitatum praeduce Christo.
Profecto alterius susceptus regis in aulis,
Femineas patitur instinctu daemonis iras.
Ermenburgis enim totius criminis altrix,
Cladibus, ut cecinit praemisso musa tenore,
133.1003A| Multimodis torsit tantum furibunda patronum:
Saeva soror cujus Centwine regia conjunx
Expulit indemnem nullum servata [servando] pudorem.
</poem>
==XXXVII. Ad Australes Saxones se recipit. Regem Edilwalk cum suis Christo lucratur. Coenobia construit.==
<poem>
Quid strides, peritura seges, aut sulfure averni
Perpete torreris? en aspernata probabis.
Ipse sibi patriam praesul non longe jacentem
Adquiret, nondum divino vomere scissam.
Non licuit cultis committere semina sulcis.
Anne vacat saltem steriles invertere glebas?
Non timet exsilium qui gestat pectore Christum.
Gens igitur quaedam, scopulosis indita terris,
133.1003B| Saltibus incultis, et densis consita dumis,
Non facilem propriis aditum praebebat in arvis:
Gens ignara Dei, simulacris dedita vanis.
Hanc adit intrepidus, sincero dogmate fretus,
Adsistensque duci, pertractat munia Christi.
Foedere complacito statim captatur ab ipso,
Non auri pretio, ferro non hostis avaro:
Juravit pactos nunquam dissolvere nodos.
Hinc passim sacris permulcet corcula verbis,
Lucratusque ducem feliciter, atque jugalem,
Emicuit mediis fax indefessa tenebris.
Delubra contritis pereunt velocius aris.
Nec doluit madidas subvertens augur acerras.
Dulcia divino funduntur mella canistro,
Tinguntur plebes sanctum baptisma petentes.
133.1003C| Rex quoque vivifica perfusus nobilis unda,
Praedia delegat, coenobia praesul adornat.
Edilwalch princeps vocitatus dicitur iste,
Wilfridi meritis qui novit coelica tempe.
</poem>
==XXXVIII. A Cedwala in regnum restituto excipitur in Westsaxoniam.==
<poem>
Teque canam, fugitive puer Cedvalla, negatis
Quem fudit sceptris nemoroso Ciltena [Westsaxonia] luco.
Audacem quippe Wilfrido subdere mentem,
Ut quires redhibere tui diademata regni,
Magnorum quaerens evadere fata malorum;
Crevisti patiens, rex fortis, ab exsule pasci.
Tempus post modicum fidei capis incrementum.
Nam vertex tremula quem dudum foverat ulva,
133.1003D| Praesulis auxilio rutilat cingente corona.
Tu quoque pontificem multa tellure ditasti.
Felix exsilium, quod poscit purpura regum!
Immo Pater felix, exsul pro foedere pacis!
</poem>
==XXXIX. Egfrido mortuo, redit in gratiam cum Theodoro.==
<poem>
Rumor tunc prodit, quia bello plura cruento
Agmina corruerant alterna caede vorata:
Ekfridusque feri percussus cuspide Picti,
Exsilio sanctos desivit trudere pravo.
Praeterea pastor Dorobernica claustra gubernans
Theodorus, damnare nefas in praesule quondam
133.1004A| Commissum cupiens, jamjam vergente senecta
Expetiit revocare virum sat inepte repulsum.
Ergo redit humilis, implens exacta prioris.
Hos inter praesul Erchenwaldus venerandus.
Accedunt terni verae funabula lucis,
Exorsusque dehinc senior Theodorus infit:
Poenitet en, Fili, quia tot tormenta subisti.
Ultima porro meae properant confinia vitae:
Tu quocunque modo deliqui, quaeso, remitte.
Terruerant animum Wilfridi gesta beatum.
Tum coelis oculos attollens, brachia terris,
Indulsit facinus, sicut praecepit Iesus.
Ergo solo strati, poscunt miseramina Christi.
Inque vicem culpis perfecto corde remissis,
Gaudebant lacrymis sobria de fronte profusis.
</poem>
==XL. Aldfrido et aliis commendatur.==
<poem>
133.1004B|
Jam fasces regni, jam publica sceptra peremti
Sumserat Aldfridus. Mox pastor scripsit eous
Sedibus abreptis reddi debere beatum
Christi mathiten post tanta pericula sennem:
Ne contingat huic moriens quod pertulit Ekfrid,
Qui voluit dictum primus spoliare patronum.
Hoc et idem cunctis statim designat amicis
Aelflede, quae virgineo succincta pudore
Pascebat nitidas Jesu prudenter ovillas.
Tuque clientelae, princeps, memor esto cupitae.
Scripsit Edilredo cognato morte sopito,
Qui studuit toto Wilfridum pellere mundo.
Nunc age, communi si vivas optime voto,
133.1004C| Saepe meis, fateor, parebas phronyme [prudenter] dictis.
Jam quoque Pastoris extremos crede rogatus,
Ut tua praecluibus gliscens cuprepia [excellentia] sceptris,
Ardua Romulei servet praecepta vigoris,
Quae statuere Patres Petri vectigal alentes,
Agatho praecipuus, Benedictus, Sergius atque.
Dux etiam monitis arrisit protinus istis,
Summo ceu decuit servans in honore magistrum,
Usque sub extremam vitae frustrabilis horam.
</poem>
==XLI. Ab Aldfrido revocatur.==
<poem>
His ita consertis, Aldfridus stemmata regni
Non obscura gerens, Christi revocavit alumnum.
Certatim priscas possedit deinde casellas.
133.1004D| Pelluntur moechi, sedes vacuata patrono
Redditur: applaudunt cives felicia fantes.
Lucidus Ewroica [Eboraca] resplenduit axis in aula.
</poem>
==XLII. Aldfrido iterum vexante, rursus confugit ad Edilredum.==
<poem>
Felices populi tanto pastore potiti!
Vix tamen exiguo manserunt gaudia lustro.
Nam modicum trita viguit perversius hydra.
Ardescunt veteres crebris pulsatibus ignes,
Ecclesiae puppis vexatur dire procellis,
Cogitur et rursum nauclerus mittere clavum,
Anchora ni firma primum solidetur arena.
133.1005A| Rex etenim dictus, ligurum [ligurionum] ferrugine tinctus,
Distendit variis veracia stamina pullis,
Alternando vices; nunc Patris subditus alis,
Nunc mendosorum credens inventa virorum.
Ni fallor, fida titubans statione carebat.
Ast pater immotam quaerens servare carinam,
Maluit elatum regis differe tumorem.
Idcirco cessit, divisaque rura reliquit,
Impatiens sanctam scindi se praesule normam,
Arvaque commissis monachis collata revelli,
Nec metuens magni praeferre oracula Petri.
Mox Aedilredi repetens solium memorati,
Acceptus colitur placida sub rege quiete,
Explens officium multa pietate supernum.
</poem>
==XLIII. In concilium vocatus, paratas technas eludit.==
<poem>
133.1005B| Tantos post strepitus, quem non quivere molesta
Exsuperare fuga, nituntur fallere techna.
Denique collectim censura urgente ducali [regia]
Synodus astruitur, legatio menda jubetur
Caelibis accessum festino cogere gressu.
Concurrit facilis. Fratum tum saeva simultas
Undique stipatum fictis agitare querelis.
Machina non solido, sed mox interlita limo
Corruit, haud patiens vatem prognostica fantem
Lincea namque viro fuerant oculamino tanto:
Immo prophetales ad hoc potaverat haustus,
Internos etiam quo posset cernere nisus.
Tandem vafrinos blandis suggestibus astus
Increpitans, Italas suadebat credere chartas.
Ethnica sed nullis molliri corda lagonis [ sic ]
133.1005C| Cedebant, virusque tegunt sub mente nocivum.
</poem>
==XLIV. Non vult sponte pontificatum abdicare. Romam iterum appellat.==
<poem>
Praeterea juvenis divini fautor honesti,
Expertus causas in sanctum aptare sinistras,
Accessit, regis dirum patefecit amentum,
Toxica letiferae volitant quo tela pharetrae.
Nec etenim puduit dicacem audire fidelem,
Qui mox exposuit, celer intra palatia repsit.
Summi stans igitur ducis inter castra perennis
Excipit horrisonas illaeso parmate fundas,
Nec potuit validis penetrari pelta sagittis.
Instabant etenim violento famine agentes,
Se Pater ut proprio vellet dispungere voto,
133.1005D| Indignumque sacris se judicet esse gerendis.
O malesuada cohors! o fraus! o sanctio discors!
Non eris immunis poenae, non criminis exsors.
Ipse quidem solitos gaudet perferre labores:
Tu Phlegeton subies, Erebum manesque pavesces.
Insignita piis tunc aperit ora loquelis.
Ecce quaterdenos, dicens, vexilla per annos
Intemerata tuli verae per cuncta Fidei,
Barrida [procacia] pravicolae quis stravi examina turbae,
Inclyta censurae servans invictus eoae
Famina, non falso ceu garrit pollice sculpta,
Mens inimica suo mox defectura veneno.
Nunc quia compellor, Petri discrimine purgor.
133.1006A| Non formido minas, exenia nulla capesso:
Meque meo nunquam vobis mucrone litabo.
Haec Pater oravit, plebeium jusque refellit.
</poem>
==XLV. Ad Edilredum redit.==
<poem>
Solvitur infandum Jesu vincente coagmen,
Enituitque bonum praestantis praesulis omen.
Sic Aedilredi valvas repetivit hiantes,
Explanatque duci sceleris commenta maligni.
Isque benignivolam firmans in praesule curam,
Edixit priscum nullo frustramine foedus
Vellere, apostolica donec remearet ab aula.
</poem>
==XLVI. Romam revisit.==
<poem>
Verum discordes flagrant ardentius irae.
Et quas Christicolis pastor fundaverat aedes,
Nisibus efferis averruncare parabant.
133.1006B| Extorres stavunt [ an statuunt] agio incassum palinodo,
Quos sacer electis gradibus formarat adelphos,
Dulsos coenosi lychinos audititi destos.
At pia ventilabro Christi sententia justo
Efflavit paleas, cocyti ardore cremandas,
Condivitque bonam coeli per horrea frugem.
Nam pater ipse greges et ovilia cara revisens
Ingemit, et precibus Domino commendat anhelis.
Aggressusque dehinc Romani pervia callis,
Ingreditur partas opulento remige lintres.
Carpebant placida libratis aequora velis,
Figitur et notis vehemens lautomia arenis.
Oblitas igitur peragrantes commode terras,
Divino comites potabat fonte fideles.
133.1006C| Non errare licet, non manticulare necesse est,
Gratia quos tanti servat ductoris opima.
Is etenim largas, quamvis devotus egeret,
Impensas eleis [liberalibus] palmis fundebat apertis.
Quapropter, ceu praecinuit Davitica psaltes,
Justa manebit ei vitae farrago perennis.
Transmissis tandem Jovialibus aeque cavernis,
Macarii penetrant rutilantia dindyma Petri,
Qua renitebat ovans summa virtute Joannes.
Affines moti festinant Euge per urbem.
Astipulant modulis comto sistemate, cerus [sacer]
Aedituusque graves oppandit agillimus aedes.
Introiit praesul testudine fultus opaca,
Qui tellure cubans unca suffragine suda [flexo poplite]
Mille piis instillat aquis, vi denique sancta
133.1006D| Coelica summorum reseravit claustra polorum.
Indidit aequisonas divinis auribus odas.
Oratu surgens, famulantum rite catervis
Ambitur, siccatque genas, suspiria pressat.
Ast ubi complacuit, sacra archisteria [templum] scandit.
Pontificum praesul, necnon et concio gaudet
Pistica [fidelis], Tarpeioque ruens de colle senectus.
Intestina Pater postquam dyrrachia [discidia] planxit,
Ad vicina redit lentis habitacula plantis.
</poem>
==XLVII. Causam agit apud Papam, prolatis litteris apostolicis.==
<poem>
Interea scriptis legatio cassa modernis.
133.1007A| Berthwaldi de sorte ruit, puerile volumen
Opponens tanto nequiquam certe Patrono.
Ausoniae coeunt Graiae, mox atque soritae
Vestibulo cursim priscorum scita revolvunt.
Protinus admisso micuit syntagma berillo.
Ut jubar introiit, jubaris ceu nectar opimi
Protulit effevum ( sic ) liquido flavore libellum
Hisce characteribus. Christi tunc inquit alumnus:
Nulla damus patriae, fateor, discidia nostrae.
Non reges, non tristatas, regumve clientes,
Matris ad eximiae gremium concurrere gratis.
Elegi collata prius mihi jura probare.
Non ignota cano, vobis praecognita narro,
Jura dedere Patres Romanum stemma regentes.
Testis adest hujus sanctae periergia sedis,
133.1007B| Haec quia non sprevi, nam nec spernenda putavi.
Collatis carui crebris populatibus agris.
En qui me sensu graviter lymphante sequuntur,
Norunt si qua meo vitiamine rupta vicissim
Objectare queunt, vestro lustrabor ab ore.
Non ego pompisonis adii pretiosa lupatis [frenis]
Moenia, nec gilvis phalerato stromate mannis (equis tolutaribus:
Prosequor at nudus nudi vestigia Petri.
Posteritas sancite quibus subsistat amica
Legibus, et priscas nolite revellere chartas.
Obstipuere ( sic ) Patres haec sic fore [esse] comminiscentes.
Hac dixere pharo mundi rudis arsit origo,
Rabula nec deerit quo mens veneranda nitebit
133.1007C| Talia labentis patiuntur spargana vitae
Aemula, nec tardat spiris agitare malignis
Actio pravorum vitam moresque proborum.
Conquirenda tamen hujusce refragia sectae.
Et quamvis odiis proscriptus physiculatis [naturalibus]
Protinus arbitrio, Wilfride, piabere nostro.
Nec Romana prius falsi pilotria ( sic ) testes
Excedent, justas donec pro crimine poenas
Jure luant, discantque viro deferre probato.
Iste quidem Latias olim lallando papillas,
Pavit Christicolas multo dulcore catervas.
Oravere Patres: testatur et ipse Joannes (papa),
Haec dicens: Nullo morietur lampada fungo.
Insidiae veteres dormiscant ocius omnes.
Desipiunt hebetes tetrico moerore furentes.
133.1007D| Wilfridum damnare nefas: qui, sicuti torris,
Ereptus magno manet incombustus ab igne.
Ut petrus Christi, sic hic vestigia Petri
Percolit, aequoreis nunquam timefactus in undis.
Degeneres populi quid prodest velle beari?
Virtus si qua placet, patriis pepulistis ab oris.
En rutilum liquido summae virtutis agalma.
Sint rata quae sanxit, non haec obliteret usquam
Aut regalis apex, aut ecclesiasticus ordo.
Nobiscum sapiat, qui Christi stigmata gestat,
Ne ferale chaos evitandamque mephitim
133.1008A| Sentiscat rigidi retrusus in ima barathri.
Quidquid neutericis confinxit apocrypha biblis,
Cassetur priscis legatio censeo dictis.
Quis duo-quindecies, denos pariter quoque quinos,
Elogio archontes queat infamare maligno?
His coram fidei vir hic confessus honorem,
Extunc vitali merito craxatus [inscriptus] in albo,
Certis exspectat coelestia dona diebus,
Ut re percipiat, quod spe patienter et optat.
Huic qui dissentit, nimis, inquam, prorsus ineptit.
'' ( Sequentia, quae in ms. codice Corbeiensi desunt ex codice Cottonianae bibliothecae supplevit Mabillonius. )''
Haec eadem sacris jusserunt indere libris,
More cleanteo solitis bullata sigillis,
Regibus et clero mittentes, atque popello,
133.1008B| Ut dirimant odii crudelia jurgia prisci.
Et dixere Patri post oscula frontis aquosae:
Pacificus redeas; subjectis gaudia reddas;
Terris atque polis Jesu cleronomus [haeres] esto.
</poem>
==XLVIII.==
<poem>
Devictis igitur falsi latoribus astus,
Pignere sanctorum multa quoque glore venustus,
Deserit Ausonias multis comitantibus oras.
Alpinosque petit, quo Celtica permeet arva.
Praeteriens notos pedetentim transit Alanos:
Tandem pacatos devenit ad usque Sicambros.
Hinc vexatur acri per singula membra veterno:
Nec quibat metas pedibus tranare cupitas.
Fertur equo primum; post haec gestamine fratrum,
Vocibus et toto pastorum corde dolentum;
133.1008C| Muratamque vehunt dilectum pondus ad urbem
Semianimem insueto componunt debite stratu:
Perculsique metu, quidnam contingat in actu
Exspectare timent, mortis formidine pressi.
Octonis etenim bis forte quaterque vigenis
Decubuit horis, pastus fraglamine mentis
Corporis aut escis, aut qualibet arte liquoris.
Demum cum quinti spirarent lumina solis,
Mittitur e summo (dictu mirabile!) coelo
Archanus Michael, nitido lampabilis ore;
Quem Pater intendens, non ut fantasma repellens,
Ceu stilbonta [splendentem], novum lumen, veneratur amicum.
Surgito concivis, nostri non portio vilis:
133.1008D| Et licei astricolas inter numerere catervas,
Inquit, ab orbatis jam nunc revocaberis agnis.
Postquam bis binis fratres solidaveris annis;
Cum mercede bona temet revocabo, sed insta
Christotochae dignas aedes fabricare Mariae:
Cujus amore tibi cumulantur certius anni.
Novit quid Petro, Petri quid solvis adelpho.
Continuo sanctos subiit vigor integer artus:
Angelicum superam numen recucurrit ad aethram.
Surgitur, et tristes renovantur digne sodales.
O defesse, sagax curat quem coelica pinax:
133.1009A| Et quia pellacis vitasti gaudia saecli,
Cum numero vitae meruisti praemia summae.
</poem>
==XLIX.==
<poem>
Oceani tumidas exhinc remeavit ad undas,
Gurgitis et vasti circumflua terga repressit.
Cantia complacito patuerunt litora rastro.
Jussit apostolicum Berthwaldo ferre libellum,
Suscipit, ut decuit; Patris praecepta peregit.
Hinc divi [ f., divus] petiit, supra quem musa revolvit,
Laetus Edilredi petulas fidentius aulas.
Cui retulit cessim: laetantur et ambo vicissim.
</poem>
==L.==
<poem>
Approperans ergo, laesus cunctamine nullo,
Aldfrido regi direxit epistile [epistolam] Petri.
133.1009B| Illicitum sapuit, non hoc sat juste recepit
Protulit ambages, sicut fecere priores:
Nolens directis veneramen ferre loquelis.
Quocirca meritum tulit immature periclum.
Ultrices etenim patiens in corpore poenas,
Cernere collibuit, quem dudum languide sprevit
Multaque conjiciens obiit, male gesta recensens
Testibus adhibitis se reddere velle negatis,
Si Domini auxilium vitae daret accumulatum.
Suscepit vacuas Aedwilf virosus habenas,
In sanctum furias exercens immoderatas:
Inque brevi periit, violento cive repulsus.
</poem>
==LI.==
<poem>
Ut patriae curam susceptet rite tuendam,
Filius ascitur Alhdfridi saepe relati.
133.1009C| Qui gravitate proba, Wilfridi subditus ala,
Dilexit nimium, quia noverat esse beatum;
Is jussit proprii quantum tenet orbita regni;
Et coiere simul, Berthwaldo jure calante [vocante]
Tunc Patris alloquio rex censuit, omnis et ordo,
Servent ut pariter Wilfridi dogma verenter:
Pacis et Angligenae firmantur foedere gentes.
</poem>
==LII.==
<poem>
Ex hinc convaluere nimis diorismata [definitiones] fortis
Athletae, pereuntque mali sophismata civis;
Germinis hydrei penitus tenuata cicatrix;
Additur atque bonis virtus apodictica (demonstrativa) victrix.
133.1009D| Ipse per obliquas pastor gradiens regiones,
Ut mater dociles doctrino lacte refovit;
Ut pater ignaros sobria succensuit [increpavit] ira
Ad lucis patriam cunctos metaliter hortans.
Praescivit porro Michaelis adesse profatum:
Optabatque gravem Silicernius adfore mortem.
Corruit, et subitus perclusit limmata [consilia] morbus
Agmina pullatis coeunt vernacula birris;
Commeat et toto vulgus miserabile ciclo.
Fit formido gravis, ne forte recedat ab illis.
133.1010A| Fratribus at plaudas Jesu recinentibus odas,
Substitit, et laeta sospes perfunditur aura.
</poem>
==LIII.==
<poem>
Hactenus excolicum quanto sudore sacellum
Emerit exposui; numnam miracula quibo?
Ennea si melico chelim mihi carmine tangant,
Septenasque jugem [geminem] ciclico dulcore sorores
Aut sim magniloqui multus sectator Homeri;
Non plane absolvam: dictis jam cedo quibusdam.
Quos etenim daemon rabida possederat ira,
Effusis precibus fidei virtute resolvit:
Et queis debilitas artus devinxerat atra;
Aut oculo frustrans, aut linguae murmure damnans;
Aut gressus prohibens, aut reumate pectora stringens;
133.1010B| Et sensu demtos, et morbi tabe peraesos.
Ut frater congrex, scelerum, sicut patet, offex (impeditor),
Circumfusa means docet agmina Christicolarum,
Vivifici tetra plastica dat theoremata verbi,
Noviter increpitans pigrum decus Archiliorum [tribunos].
Haec ita sollerti perfecerat undique cura.
Sensit olympiadam dudum finirier auctam,
Et metamorphosin praesagit adesse cupitam.
Nec minus ipse tamen refovens normaliter omnes.
Aethralem vitam testatur jure sequendam.
Quid tricor dictis? dabitur nunc his quoque finis
Credo quidem scriptis: ut mors, dilectio fortis.
</poem>
==LIV.==
<poem>
Crebis ergo virum febribus pulsatibus almum,
133.1010C| Concurrunt monachi virtutum munere macti:
Agmine pastorem tantum cinxere globoso.
His ita consaeptus, caput extulit, atque ita dixit:
Pullulet in vobis divini gratia roris.
Vos equidem, fratres, pridem revocatis euntem.
Parcite jam, quaeso, superum jam scandere regnum
Me juvat, et fragili praejudico carne resolvi.
Non vobis ultra forma conjungar in ista,
Donec mundanas turbent elementa tenebras.
Visibus et Domini praesens sit machina mundi.
Muscipulos nostis quos obicit aemulus hostis,
Illicibus quaerens animos vitiare figuris.
Ingerit incestos lascivis spebus amores.
Tunc oculos pulcris vanos illudit idaeis,
133.1010D| Aures et blandis demulget saepius arpis.
Ut fraudem doceat, largissima lucra ministrat.
Haec monui semper, haec vobis ipse frequenter
Opposui, nolite moras inferre migranti.
Urgeor, o defungar, et, o fratres, vigilate,
Pyr Flegeton calida ne vos absorbeat unda.
Haec ait, et durae constravit membra quieti.
Spiritus ergo viri Michael repetente beati,
Vimineo condens corpus Kyriale canistro
Exhausit vitro vitalem digne cruorem,
133.1011A| Inter moerentes, orantes, opperientes
Evasit volucer, carnis ceromate [visco] liber.
</poem>
==LV.==
<poem>
Postquam membra sacro tumularunt sacra sepulcro,
Indusias sumsere sibi fratres venerandi:
Interulamque puer sancti sudore madentem
Corripuit, normatrici [abbatissae] tulit atque beatae,
Quam sibi flamineo [velo] sociaverat apte verendo
Egregius heros, redimitam castificando.
Hanc adit organico membris deserta vigore
Clinica, suppliciter poscens se tangere posse.
Pavit secretum depromere virgo fidele.
Tandem compatiens miserae subnixe petenti,
Vinxit aquis vestem, meruit quibus illa salutem.
133.1011B| Post haec bachantes dementi pectore quidam,
Vulcanum [ignem] tecto, quo transiit ille, adhibebant.
Sed vis defuncti viventem terruit ignem:
Saevos mitificans, virtutis et omina monstrans.
Annua bis senos confecerat orbita menses,
133.1012A| Subsidibus patris ex omni regione coactis,
Cum miranda nimis fulserunt signa sub astris.
Quaerebant etenim quis tot pastore vacantes
Excipiat caulas, et ovilia tanta reservet.
Hesperus aeriis sed jam densaverat umbras,
Pernox cura fratrum cum coelum respicit altum.
Emicuit cyclus tenebrosa per astra coruscus
Ceu matutinos igniret Phosphorus ortus.
Canduit hic radius monachum coenobia circum
Officiose, vias visus liquisse polinas.
Hinc patuit, Domini quia constat vinea firmis
Oratu Wilfridi aevum stabilita gigantis.
Mox apopempaeo grates persolvere summo
Accelerant, nomenque Patris constanter honorant.
Fistula rurestris cecinit prothemata cavis,
133.1012B| Callosas cani Meligor velut excola sannas,
Enervi trutinans exotica docmina [dogmata] plectro.
Nunc oleate mihi faveas industrius Odo.
Ut natum retuli stemma tum maxime clusi.
Non epistasin capit, ecstasinque veretur.
Pagina, Lector, ave: tibi caetera carpe tuapte.

136 Erat tum diaconus, qui modo Theadelphici throni gubernacula suscepit, domnus Thomas d, in quem ægrotantium in urbe cura incumbebat: quippe qui medicus esset dexterrimus, eruditione pariter & experientiâ clarus, vitamque sanctorum Cosmæ ac Damiani disciplinæ æmulam instituens. Huic igitur beatissimo præstantissimoque viro confisus, quæ habebam consilia exposui, amitaque meâ in extremis relicta periculis, noctu Lauram repetii. Cum istuc horâ circiter diei secundâ advenissem, recto cursu ad Magistrum meum contendi, amitæ causâ admodum festinus. Hesychaterium ut attigi, ac signum, ut moris erat, exiguo lapillo ter dedi, aperit mihi Senex, & manu januam tenens, antequam omnino quidquam locutus ego essem, ait mihi: Optimè veneris, ô fili mi, optimè veneris: noli te cruciare; non enim ex hac infirmitate morietur amita tua. Ego verò: Hoc ipsum, dicebam, ut ex te intelligam modo adveni, ô pater. {{left sidenote|'''B'''}}Subjecit ille: Scio enimvero, scio ea causa te advenisse. Itaque pro certo noveris, fili, hoc morbo nequaquam illam extinctum iri. Vide ergo, animos ne despondeas, neque te aut luctu, aut sollicitudine, aut stulta anxietate divexes. Quod cum tertiò dixisset, priusquam fecissem ego verbum unum, orsus est recitare Pater Noster, & precatione completa, benigne atque amice me admisit.

Unde, cum jam ter audissem è Sene non esse morituram, non acquievi tamen; sed, ut certitudinem summam solidamque nanciscerer, iterum sciscitatus sum, dicens: Ne graveris, mi pater, id mihi apertè pronuntiare, morbum hunc amitæ meæ non esse fatalem: nam non ego dumtaxat illam depositam dixi, & sensi; sed alii complures. Tum verò ille: Etiam hoc rogitas, modicæ fidei? Non id asserui tibi satis, ut fidem habeas? Non sæpe, adductis Doctorum exemplis, tecum egi vel maximè de incredulitate; quæ ex his duobus existat, ex rerum videlicet inscitia, atque ex segnitie, cogitationes suggerente perpetuo hoste nequissimo, & puro semini impura inserente zizania? {{left sidenote|'''C'''}}Quapropter ut remedium tardæ tuæ fidei afferatur, abi ad pistorem, eumque roga, ut hostiam tibi unam conficiat; quia nullam habet paratam; cum dies hæc sit quarta hebdomadæ {{left sidenote|''e''}}e.

Excute igitur aliquando ex animo obstinatam omnem in credendo duritiem, & opinionem, affectumque perversum, neque me de hac re posthac umquam interrogaveris.

Neque id me turbavit, quod eam offenderem in ultimo versantem discrimine; sed illam consolatus, post unum alterumve fortè diem, concepta de Senis oraculis optima spe mentem pascens ac serenans, in Lauram reverti.

moritur ; ita monachus , si moras trahat in se- culo , mortem incurrit spiritualem , naturali nihilo minus gravem : eam & tu passus es , inter seculares homines , in peccata pro- lapsus , dudumque faucius ac semivivus , quin imo plane mortuus : Dominum enim te- flor & quidquid creatum est , male vixisse te quo tempore illic fuisti.

Tum repletus Spiritu sancto Senex,& vultu solis instar coruscante : Quid est , inquit graece alloquens, miser & infelicissime? Non satis tibi erat scelerum tuorum tam gravium multi- tudo ?

'''ELEGIA'''
'''Sanctissime Dei genetrici
'''''Mariae Lauretanae'','''
'''Piceni, Italiae, Orbis totius miraculo, suae Reginae,
'''suae Spei, uni suo Amori.'''
'''Franciscus Christophorus Comes de Frangipanibus,
'''Humilimus, ac Obsequentissimus Cliens, et Famulus.'''
Una Miserorum felicitas est infelicem esse, quando vel ipsa prae quolibetsolatio dulciter iis sapit lacryma; una hac, ditissimo veluti munere, et se, et alios donare consuerunt. Quocirca immania auri, argentique pondera, uniones, gemmas, adamantes, pyropos tibi, Augustissima Regina, offeri non invidebo, cum tuis praesertim sub laribus pretiosa quaeque vilescere non ignorem; lacrimas duntaxat Lauretano advolutus limini, grati pectoris, amantis animi Monumentum, et pignus tuae sisto Majestati.
Lacrymas dives miserorum munus Misericors ipsa non repelles; audacem facit amor, quem non rejicies spero, quando amantem videris.
Lacrymas offero, quas tuus Frangipanum e ditione discessus Anno millesimo ducentesimo nonagesimo primo sub Nicolao Frangipano, Histriae tuum, Croatiae, et Dalmatiae Moderatore meis duciter elicuit ex oculis; Romam petentem me cum infensa terruerit lues, ad fletum, ad gemitus Laureti morae tui quondam excessus nostris a finibus non immemorem provocavit; flevi, nec lacrymis finem, donec redieris, imponam.
Tibi interim Sacrata in Aedicula Cor ipsum appendo, sed liquatum in lacrymas, quas, si opsides receperis, tum redituram te aliquando non diffidam.
<poem>
'''ELEGIA'''
'''F'''lete meos casus, mea tristia fata, sodales, 1
Flete, mei si quis pectora tangit Amor.
Una meos luctus solatur, sola dolores
Unda oculi lenit, sola beat lacryma;
Flete, prennantis date munera grata doloris,
O socii; lacrymas, qui negat, ille ferus. 6
</poem>
<poem>
'''V'''irgineae ipse Domus toto non immemor aevo 7
Flens dixi:"Heu votis fata inimica meis!"
Maestata repercussa sonuerunt littora voce
Non semel: "Heu votis fata inimica meis!"
Illyrici flevere lacus, tuque, Histria, flesse
Diceris, Alma Domus cum raperetur agris. 12
</poem>
<poem>
'''A'''driacae testor plorantis murmura lymphae, 13
Testor Dalmaticis cognita saxa fretis:
Luximus, et nunquam tantum luxisse pigebit!
Quis modus in luctu, quis, precor, in lacrymis?
Sunt oculis lacrymae, sunt et sua flumina nostris
Luminibus, madidas en rigat unda genas. 18
</poem>
<poem>
'''I'''rrigat unda genas? Praeceps quin flumen ocellos 19
Obruit et mersis innatat unda genis:
Pectore — quis credat? — suspiria ducere nostro,
Et Superum pietas cogit et Alma Parens.
Antiquum pia Virgo jubet renovare dolorem,
Provocat et maestum carmina divus amor. 24
'''T'''ecta augusta Dei nostros exosa Penates 25
Rapta queror; fletus reddite Rapta mei.
Triste placet carmen ductum per Saecula terna:
“Blanda redi Virgo, Virgo Maria redi!”
Non audituris carmen deducimus astris:
“Blanda redi Virgo, Virgo Maria redi!” 30
</poem>
<poem>
'''F'''elices recolit Picenus laetior annos, 31
Et petit advectae Templa superba Deae.
Templa pius repetit Divino numine plena
Aethereis referens munera muneribus.
Ad sua sacra manus properant, altaria donis
Addunt; thuricremis addite dona focis; 36
'''A'''rae florifero virides de germine fiant, 37
Et velet Divae nexa corona lares.
Munera, Arabs, funde et redolentes funde corollas,
Mitte Ebur, Inde, tuum; thura, Sabaee, tua!
Undique collectae properant ad limina gentes,
Sydereas gratae devenerantur opes.42
</poem>
<poem>
'''C'''onclamant omnes: "Veniens Regina triumphet, 43
"Regnet, io, revolans Virgo! triumphet, io!"
"Blandisonis laetum concentibus aera mulcet
Turba repercussum fundere sueta melos:
