2016 WMF Strategy consultation

Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen

Hello, all.

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)

Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.

Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)

If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to mdennis@wikimedia.org.

I hope you'll join us! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery (diskusija) 18. januara 2016, 20:06 (CET)[wotmołwić]

VisualEditor News #1—2016

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

Did you know?

Among experienced editors, the visual editor's table editing is one of the most popular features.

If you select the top of a column or the end of a row, you can quickly insert and remove columns and rows.

Now, you can also rearrange columns and rows. Click "Move before" or "Move after" to swap the column or row with its neighbor.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.

Recent changes

You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.

Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.

You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.

The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.

Future changes

The single edit tab project will combine the "Wobdźěłać" and "Žórłowy tekst wobdźěłać" tabs into a single "Wobdźěłać" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398) Initially, the "Wobdźěłać" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Wobdźěłowanje tab of Special:Preferences:

Naposledk wužiwany editor sej spomjatkować a poskićeć,
Wizuelny editor poskićeć, jeli móžno,
Žórłowy editor poskićeć, and
Wobaj editoraj poskićeć. (This is the state for people using the visual editor now.)

The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. This will affect the following languages, amongst others: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic.

Let's work together

Please try out the newest version of the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You may need to restore the default preferences (at the bottom of test2wiki:Special:Preferences) to see the initial prompt for options. Were you able to find a preference setting that will work for your own editing? Did you see the large preferences dialog box when you started editing an article there?
Can you read and type in Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Indic, or Han scripts? Does typing in these languages feels natural in the visual editor? Language engineer David Chan needs to know. Please see the instructions at mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test if you can help. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org.
Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Join the Tech Talk about "Automated citations in Wikipedia: Citoid and the technology behind it" with Sebastian Karcher on 29 February 2016.

If you aren't reading this in your favorite language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Wulki dźak!

Completion suggestor

Updates to wiki search auto completion are arriving 10 March

Hello!

Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen. Wulki dźak!

The completion suggester beta feature will become the default at the first group of wikis on Thursday, 10 March. This initial rollout will start with some of the smaller wikis to ensure the change happens in an organized way. The remaining wikis will receive the update on Wednesday, 16 March. This update brings three major improvements to search. Improved search result ordering, a tolerance for a small number of spelling errors, and suggests fewer typos.

Since December 2015, 19,000 editors have already opted into the completion suggester beta feature. Contributors are encouraged to try out the feature ahead of the release. Please share any comments on the Completion Suggester discussion page in any language.

To learn more about the work of the Discovery department and other improvements to search, please check out the Wikimedia blog. Read about CirrusSearch, the MediaWiki extension that makes wiki search possible.

Server switch 2016

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its newest data center in Dallas. This will make sure Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic to the new data center on Tuesday, 19 April.
On Thursday, 21 April, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

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

You will not be able to edit for approximately 15 to 30 minutes on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).

If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped.

Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.

There will be a code freeze for the week of 18 April.

No non-essential code deployments will take place.

This test was originally planned to take place on March 22. April 19th and 21st are the new dates. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. They will post any changes on that schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 17. apryla 2016, 23:07 (CEST)[wotmołwić]

Wikipedia to the Moon

Hello! Sorry that this is in English only, but we are using village pump messaging in order to reach as many language communities as possible. Wrong page? Please fix it here.

This is an invitation to all Wikipedians: Wikimedia Deutschland has been given data space to include Wikipedia content in an upcoming mission to the Moon. (No joke!) We have launched a community discussion about how to do that, because we feel that this is for the global community of editors. Please, join the discussion on Meta-Wiki (and translate this invitation to your language community)! Best, Moon team at Wikimedia Deutschland 21. apryla 2016, 17:35 (CEST)

Tónraz dźe wo prawo importowanja zapiskow a wersijow z druhich wikipedijow resp. importowanja wersijow z jednoho zapiska do tamneho. To je hdys a hdys trěbne. Dokelž tule žanoho běrokrata nimamy (a prawdźepodobnje tež žanoho njedóstanjemy), chcych rady třom administratoram serbskeje Wikipedije tute prawo dać. Wo tym móža pak jenož stewardźa Wikimedije rozsudźić a woni trjebaja – kaž přeco – wothłosowanje za to. Tohodla so was prašam: Chceće, zo so administratoram serbskeje Wikipedije tute wužitne prawo spožči?

Question from Phabricator

Hi, I can notice a request was placed at Phabricator (phab:T152209) for granting importupload right to every sysop. I would like to notice hsbwiki community importupload flag should not be granted to all sysops because it is very very dangerous. But all sysops can import using Special:Import from defined sources by default. As I can see in the config files there is no source defined for hsbwiki. I can add some sources for hsbwiki if you want. Only list of interwiki codes (Special:Interwiki) is needed and I'll add them if there is consensus for it. Also see my Phabricator comment (and maybe this comment). Please link to my userpage (User:Martin Urbanec) in your reply so I'll be able to catch reply easier because I do not watch this wiki often (this applies for watchlist too). --Martin Urbanec (diskusija) 5. decembra 2016, 09:27 (CET)[wotmołwić]

Hello Martin and thanks for your answer. I think it would be sufficient to add this wiki (hsb) as well as de, dsb, en, cs, pl, ru, hr, sr and sh to the list of sources. I just checked the list at de.wp and I know what you mean. So that would be great, because at the moment we even cannot import versions from our own wiki. Regards, j.nyča^+/- 5. decembra 2016, 10:41 (CET)[wotmołwić]

List of sources is specific to every wiki. So you want import from de, dsb, en, cs, pl, ru, hr, sr and sh to hsb? Do I understand you correctly? Best, --Martin Urbanec (diskusija) 5. decembra 2016, 11:24 (CET)[wotmołwić]

@Martin Urbanec: Yes, those are the wikis, which make sense here the most. More is not necessary from my point of view. And hsb -> hsb should be possible as well for extracting parts of articles into new articles. --j.nyča^+/- 5. decembra 2016, 11:27 (CET)[wotmołwić]

@J budissin: Okay. I marked the previous request as declined with link to this discussion and I created another ticket (phab:T152382) and this will be handled there. --Martin Urbanec (diskusija) 5. decembra 2016, 11:38 (CET)[wotmołwić]

Ok, thanks a lot. Wutrobny dźak! --j.nyča^+/- 5. decembra 2016, 11:42 (CET)[wotmołwić]

But there still is one thing I do not understand. I mean importing from this wiki to this wiki. For what you would need this? I also don't know if it is possible, I only worked with importing from one project to another one. --Martin Urbanec (diskusija) 5. decembra 2016, 11:50 (CET)[wotmołwić]

I've created a patch for another wikis (all in your list without hsb). I can deploy it today (14:00 - 15:00 UTC, 15:00 - 16:00 CET). --Martin Urbanec (diskusija) 5. decembra 2016, 11:53 (CET)[wotmołwić]

@Martin Urbanec: That's how we in de.wp transfer version history from one article to another when extracting parts of an article into a new one, so the version history remains (as the license requires). But since that doesn't happen here too often, it wouldn't be a great loss. --j.nyča^+/- 5. decembra 2016, 11:57 (CET)[wotmołwić]

Okay, added to the patch. Last question, would you like to discuss this change of suggested change with the whole community of hsbwiki? Or can I deploy it as soon as possible (the nearest deploy window is at 14:00 - 15:00 UTC; this window is scheduled for every day except Friday, Saturday and Sunday)? --Martin Urbanec (diskusija) 5. decembra 2016, 12:28 (CET)[wotmołwić]

@Martin Urbanec: I think a further discussion is not necessary, since this satisfies the original demand. I agree with you that a general import right would be potentially dangerous and it's also not necessary at all. Actually this compromise is pretty much what I intended in the beginning. --j.nyča^+/- 5. decembra 2016, 13:00 (CET)[wotmołwić]

Ok. Scheduled for 6th December 2016 14:00-15:00 UTC (15:00-16:00 CET), I forgot I can't be available in the nearest window. --Martin Urbanec (diskusija) 5. decembra 2016, 13:29 (CET)[wotmołwić]

Change was deployed. Please let me know if anything won't work. --Martin Urbanec (diskusija) 6. decembra 2016, 15:37 (CET)[wotmołwić]

Compact Links coming soon to this wiki

Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki which you may seen already in the Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the soon for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. The main announcement can also be translated on this page. Thank you.

Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today

Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen

Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.

From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages

The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English.

Hallo. Where this was tested? In our Wikipedia it doesn't work correctly! --Tlustulimu (diskusija) 2. julija 2016, 21:53 (CEST)[wotmołwić]

Hi!

This was tested in all wikis for about two years as a beta feature.

Can you please add details about why do you think that it doesn't work?

It may help if you complete the translation of all the messages in the following translatewiki projects and check the existing translations:

I'll be happy to hear other comments! --Amir E. Aharoni (diskusija) 19. julija 2016, 21:03 (CEST)[wotmołwić]

Wikipedia to the Moon: invitation to edit

Three weeks ago, you were invited to vote on how to take Wikipedia articles to the Moon. Community voting is over and the winning idea is to send all ‘’featured articles and lists’’ to the Moon. This decision means that, starting today, Wikipedians from all language communities are warmly invited to intensively work on their best articles and lists, and submit them to Wikipedia to the Moon. The central site to coordinate between communities will be Meta-Wiki. You will find an overview and more information there. Hopefully, we will be able to represent as many languages as possible, to show Wikipedia’s diversity. Please feel kindly invited to edit on behalf of your community and tell us about your work on featured content!

Editing News #2—2016

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

Did you know?

It's quick and easy to insert a references list.

Place the cursor where you want to display the references list (usually at the bottom of the page). Open the "Zasunyć" menu and click the "Lisćina referencow" icon (three books).

If you are using several groups of references, which is relatively rare, you will have the opportunity to specify the group. If you do that, then only the references that belong to the specified group will be displayed in this list of references. Finally, click "Zasadźić" in the dialog to insert the Lisćina referencow. This list will change as you add more footnotes to the page.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.
