Viquillibres:La taverna/Arxius/2015

Denegat el permís de bucròcrata

Després de finalitzar la votació en què s'accedia a que se'm proporcionés aquest permís, des de Meta l'han denegat abogant a la reduïda mida de la comunitat i a la presència únicament de dos administradors (vegeu aquí el fil). Jo discrepo força d'aquestes conclusions, en primer lloc ja que si s'ha demanat de forma consensuada amb la comunitat tant interna com amb el suport dels projectes germans - que som qui millor coneixem les necessitats de Viquillibres -, no em sembla adequat que tallin de socarrel tot els beneficis pel seu desenvolupament que comportava l'assignació. En segon lloc, perquè la lentitud de tramitar permissos de bot (uns 10-12 dies a través de Meta) afectarà negativament a ytots aquells usuaris que s'havien interessat en aplicar-los de forma gairebé inmediata.

De tota manera, què en penseu la resta? No hi ha unes normes rígides estipulades (que jo sàpiga) per esdevenir o buròcrata, tret d'aquestes dues línies de contingut ambigu: A small community generally doesn't require a local bureaucrat, because stewards can easily handle the low traffic of requests from that wiki with little delay; generally a user with this access is not needed until several local administrators are present.

A mi em sap una mica greu, però tampoc em treu la son. Creieu que hem d'apretar una mica perquè el concedeixin o ho deixem passar i li posem més paciència als tràmits? --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 16:58, 28 des 2014 (CET)

A veure, el fet de tenir un buròcrata no està dins de les prioritats, però agilitzaria una mica més les coses. Per altra banda, no he sabut trobar uns requisits per ser buròcrata a meta (Només una discussió que no està tancada) i el fet de ser una comunitat petita no crec que sigui una raó gaire vàlida, tenint en compte que per exemple Viquinotícies que només té un parell d'usuaris actius té un buròcrata. Bé, esperem la resposta del Gerardduenas, a veure què diuen :)--Unapersona (discussió) 13:06, 29 des 2014 (CET)

A mi tampoc em sembla massa bé. A veure com justifiquen la seva acció. Moltes gràcies de totes maneres per la iniciativa Xavier Dengra.--Gerardduenas (discussió) 18:28, 29 des 2014 (CET)

Veig que un bot s'ha encarregat d'arxivar la sol·licitud abans de que es respongués la pregunta del @Gerardduenas:. Si volem discutir sobre si es concedeix o no el permís crec haurem de contactar personalment amb en @Snowolf: (Que és qui es va encarregar de la sol·licitud). Què fem?--Unapersona (discussió) 15:10, 31 des 2014 (CET)

He obert un fil a la seva discussió, per si voleu llegir o afegir quelcom a la conversa: meta:User_talk:Snowolf#Denied_request. Bon any! --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 14:38, 1 gen 2015 (CET)

Ja ha respost, i jo també. Que vegi que els catalans som durs de rosegar. :P--Unapersona (discussió) 11:22, 2 gen 2015 (CET)

Editor d'interfície

Crec que seria útil implementar un nou grup d'usuaris anomenat editor d'interfície (copiat de w:pt:Project:Editores de interface). En aquests moments l'únic grup d'usuaris (local) que pot editar la interfície de MediaWiki són els administradors. La intenció és que usuaris més experimentats amb la programació puguin modificar el codi estalviant-los feina als administradors inexperts en codi que possiblement es limiten a copiar i enganxar el codi. La implementació del grup d'usuari inclouria:

• Edició de interfície MediaWiki (Espai de noms Mediawiki)
• Edició del full d'estil d'altres usuaris
• Edició del codi javascript dels altres usuaris

Demanant els següents canvis a Phabricator:

$wgGroupPermissions['editinterface']['editinterface']       = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['editinterface']['editusercss']   = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['editinterface']['edituserjs']      = true;

El permís el podria concedir un administrador (a falta de buròcrates locals), si algun dia n'hi ha podem deixar-ho només per buròcrates.

Moltes gràcies, --Gerardduenas (discussió) 22:18, 29 des 2014 (CET)

Aprofitant també podríem demanar l'activació del grup w:Viquipèdia:Editors del filtre d'abusos --Gerardduenas (discussió) 22:47, 29 des 2014 (CET)

Veig Gerard que m'has definit perfectament sense esmentar-me, eh? hahaha. Fora conyes, em sembla molt correcte la implementació de l'editor d'interfície, així que comptes amb el meu suport. Pel que fa al filtre d'abús, crec que no és ni de lluny encara necessari i que ara per ara el control simple dels canvis recents és suficient (baixa càrrega d'edicions i gairebé la totalitat de les que hi ha són d'usuaris autoconfirmats). Tot i així qualsevol millora és bona i aporta qualitat i facilitats als que vinguin després de nosaltres, per tant aquest aspecte el deixo a elecció del que digueu la resta; si s'implementa intentaré assabentar-me'n bé i ajudar a definir-lo. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 00:02, 30 des 2014 (CET)

@Xavier Dengra: De fet el filtre d'abusos ja està instal·lat, el pots trobar aquí. El problema és que no hi ha cap filtre definit. El que jo proposo és implementar el grup abusefilter que permet que els usuaris que en formen part afegir i modificar filtres. --Gerardduenas (discussió) 17:36, 30 des 2014 (CET)

Suport Em sembla bé.--KRLS (discussió) 18:03, 30 des 2014 (CET)

Suport en els editors d'interfície. Pel que fa al filtre d'abusos, amb el poc vandalisme que tenim no sé si seria gaire útil, però tampoc m'hi oposo. Bon any nou!--Unapersona (discussió) 15:06, 31 des 2014 (CET)

@Xavierserratm, Loquetudigas: Que en penseu?--Gerardduenas (discussió) 18:56, 1 gen 2015 (CET)

@Xavier Dengra, Unapersona: He parlat amb el Snowolf per xat. Diu que no es pot concedir el permís de buròcrata en comunitats tant petites perquè ja han tingut problemes i no els deixen (bastant comprensible). De fet de moment tampoc el necessitem taant i no crec que valgui la pena insistir-hi més perquè dubto que aconseguim res. També li he demanat consell per el tema del interface_editor i diu que si realment volem anar ràpid i som una comunitat petita que el millor seria atorgar un altre admin perquè dubta que els de la WMF deixin que un admin otorgui aquest tipus de flag per causes de seguretat i privacitat.

Aquí us deixo el xat

<gerardduenas> It's about the bureaucrat thing at meta
<QueenOfFrance> Hi
<gerardduenas> Hi ;)
<gerardduenas> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Snowolf#Denied_request
<QueenOfFrance> We can't really be grantign the rights with such a small admin community
<gerardduenas> But you know
<gerardduenas> Requests at meta are really sloaw
<gerardduenas> *sloww
<gerardduenas> Unless you are lucky
<gerardduenas> Well is there anything to do about it?
<gerardduenas> apart form making all the requests at meta?
<QueenOfFrance> I realize that they are not as fast as they could be, but bureaucrat rights are a very serious matter. Handing the right out to very small communities has proved disatrous in the past sadly :(
<QueenOfFrance> I'm looking at the archives for SRB as we speak
<gerardduenas> What do you mean?
<gerardduenas> If it is for lack of experience, could we ask a current bureaucrat in cawiki to act as a wikibooks bureaucrat (just speculating)
<QueenOfFrance> What I mean, I realize that requests on SRB have not been as fast they can be but the bureaucrat rights are very serious matter. In the past, we've encountered a lot of problems with very small communities with 'crat rights, that's why they're only handed out when there's enough admins that community is stable
<QueenOfFrance> It's honestly not a lack of experience thing, it's just directly linked to community size
<QueenOfFrance> (and especially admin size)
<gerardduenas> So the only way is to go through the hole 
<gerardduenas> And ask in meta
<QueenOfFrance> However, I checked the archives and we aside from the last month, bot requests are generally handled way quicker
<gerardduenas> Yup
<gerardduenas> That's also true ;)
<gerardduenas> And changing topic, any advice for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85713
* QueenOfFrance is looking
<QueenOfFrance> Hmmm
<QueenOfFrance> I see the problem, yeah
<QueenOfFrance> yeah editcss and edijs are a bit sensitive as anybody with access to is can hijack any visitor's computer
<QueenOfFrance> insert third party js with tracking (ie google analytics) and so on
<QueenOfFrance> I think the foundation has some qualms about who has access to it, but I'll see what I can find out
<QueenOfFrance> (if it's only a few people, why not promote them to admin instead of editinterface tho?)
<gerardduenas> Yup thats also an idea
<gerardduenas> I'll propose it
<gerardduenas> Thanks for all, I'll try to convice them in the village pump the same way you convinced me ;)
<QueenOfFrance> I will reply on meta later today to your query anyway, for transparency and so that other can see it too
<gerardduenas> Ok! :D
<gerardduenas> See you soon and happy 2015!
<QueenOfFrance> Happy 2015 to you too :) And see you soon indeed :)

--Gerardduenas (discussió) 00:37, 4 gen 2015 (CET)

Quin cacau tenim muntat... Està clar que la candidatura queda desestimada i denegada definitivament. No sé què fer la veritat, estem en una situació de cul de sac que ens impedeix pujar el ritme. Si presentessis una candidatura a administrador, Gerard (malgrat no complir 100% els requisits), jo et donaria total suport. Però la qüestió és que ni així resolem tots els problemes. Seguim depenent de Meta. No sé, em sembla que el millor serà resignar-nos i seguir demanant-ho tot allà. Que ens aprovin l'editor d'interfície (i ja és una eina que tindrem) i així podrem crear una pàgina de votacions per a escollir-ne els usuaris, per a que després un steward ens proporcioni els drets. Haurem d'afanyar-nos més entre nosaltres en les votacions de bots i altres assumptes per agilitzar els processos, i sobretot aviam si durant aquest any s'anima més gent a col·laborar (sobretot si en Loquetudigas treu el cap) i a algun de vosaltres dos (o ambdós) se us pot nomenar nous administradors i satisfem requisits per a futures candidatures de burocràcia. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 13:19, 4 gen 2015 (CET)

D'acord, ens quedem sense buròcrata. Sobre els editors d'interfície i administradors: evidentment, el Gerardduenas ha de ser l'editor d'interfície, no hi ha dubte. Pel que fa als administradors, no crec que sigui necessari, perquè el Xavier Dengra ja està molt actiu últimament. Tot i així, si en Gerardduenas s'hi presenta, hi donaré suport. Des de que ha entrat que la pantalla em brilla més quan entro a Viquillibres. :D El que diu el Xavier de aviam si durant aquest any s'anima més gent a col·laborar, ara deixaré un missatge a en Loquetudigas, a veure si el veu i s'anima una mica, i parlaré també amb el Xavierserratm, animant-lo a editar altres llibres de temàtica semblant al que edita. Sobre a algun de vosaltres dos (o ambdós) se us pot nomenar nous administradors, tampoc cal tenir un projecte on tots els usuaris siguin admins, dic jo... :)--Unapersona (discussió) 13:52, 4 gen 2015 (CET)

Evidentment em referia que vosaltres ho podríeu acabar sent si el nombre d'usuaris augmenta significativament, ambdues frases estaven lligades. Jo també crec que ara per ara, éssent tu, Unapersona, importador; en Gerard editor d'interfície, i jo amb tasques d'esborrat, blocat i protecció les necessitats queden vastament cobertes i repartides. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 14:21, 4 gen 2015 (CET)

D'acord amb tot. A veure si espavilo això de phabricator i ho acabem d'una vegada ;) --Gerardduenas (discussió) 17:14, 4 gen 2015 (CET)

@Xavier Dengra, Unapersona: Solucionat Com podeu veure aquí i aquí ja ens han activat el grup. Ara caldria parlar com ho fem això de les candidatures i quins requisits hi posem. Al final només els stewards podran otorgar aquest dret d'usuari (almenys fins que no tinguem buròcrata/es). Per cert, per si no ho sabieu, em vull presentar candidat a aquest grup XD--Gerardduenas (discussió) 19:33, 6 gen 2015 (CET)

Onada de democràcia per començar el 2015! Viquillibres:Presa de decisions/2015/Requisits sobre candidatures i votacions d'editor d'interfície. S'hauria d'avisar a la taverna dels projectes germans perquè pot servir com a precedent; som els primers en implementar aquest rol i potser volen participar. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 20:35, 6 gen 2015 (CET)

Veig molt bé que hi hagi editors d´interfície així com de vandalisme, abusos. Tot i que ser una comunitat petita crec que ho teniu tot ben controlat. Trobo molt bona l´activitat que feu.--Xavierserratm (discussió) 11:44, 7 gen 2015 (CET)

@Xavier Dengra: Ens han cancel·lat el grup d'usuaris per un tema de convencions de noms de grups d'usuaris. S'està discutint aquí i aquí. A veure si no ho alarguen molt... --Gerardduenas (discussió) 16:23, 8 gen 2015 (CET)

@Xavier Dengra, Unapersona: Estaven a punt d'activar-nos el grup i dos stewards ens han comentat que un grup d'usuari d'aquesta mena no tenia sentit a una wiki com la nostra, que per què si a un usuari al qual se li té prou confiança com per deixar-li editar l'espai de noms de MediaWiki no entenen perquè no se li pot donar el dret d'administrador que de fet és una es una eina que no hi ha cap problema en donar-la si se'n fa un bon ús, encara que la majoria de comunitat siguin administradors han dit. Podeu veure la discussió sencera a phab:T85713 Gerardduenas (discussió) 08:27, 12 feb 2015 (CET)

@Unapersona, Gerardduenas: Em perdonareu molt l'expressió, però començo a estar molt fins als collons que anul·lin, rebateixin o posin en qüestió tot el que es cou i el que es decideix en aquest wiki. No sé si és pel fet que no els agrada que prengui força i faci un salt qualitatiu, que ja els hi donessim les voltes per l'assumpte del buròcrata o per què, però si hi ha hagut una presa de decisions en ferm i tenim els nostres motius, no sé per què s'ho han de replantejar tot des de fora; només quan els interessa. Falta de ganes, una intenció d'oblit cap a les wikis que no són Viquipèdia, o a les wikis en idiomes menys principals...? Crec que és ben clar que la necessitat és perquè amb un parell d'administradors (fins que un usuari de Viquillibres es pronuncïi per a augmentar-ne la xifra) és suficient per a tasques de manteniment, però l'únic actiu ara per ara (i en Loquetudigas en el seu moment el MediaWiki no el va modificar massa tampoc) no sap prou sobre codi. I ja que ningú ens ve a implementar ginys i millores, i ens tracten com els últims de la cua en quant a funcionalitats (si les fiquen a l'anglesa, per dir alguna cosa, no veig perquè no ho poden fer a totes alhora), si dins la comunitat catalana hi ha usuaris de la Viquipèdia que poden adquirir els drets per a editar-ne l'interfície i augmentar la qualitat del projecte equitativament a la de la resta de germans, no sé quin problema hi hauria d'haver més enllà del que han tret ells. Perillós? Com qualsevol cessió de drets. Però si existeix aquesta funcionalitat és per poder explotar-la en aquell projecte on es cregui convenient, no en el que ells sense viure el dia a dia pensin que és oportú. Cada cop rebutjo més que se'ls hagi de pidolar tot i ens ho qüestionin, perquè ens fan perdre el temps i els el fem perdre nosaltres a ells si no ens ho concediran de primeres. Crec que si una wiki funciona és perquè la comunitat té prou criteri i autosuficiència com per tirar-la endavant amb garanties sense dependre de les condescendències de ningú (i menys de qui no hi participa ni s'interessa), sinó estaria a la incubadora.

Espero que feu arribar el meu comentari en la mesura que sigui possible a la conversa aquella, siusplau, sinó em crearé un compte i hi diré la meva (molt més seriós que aquí). I que en la mesura que sigui, enteneu (i tant de bo compartir totalment o en part) la meva postura. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 14:50, 12 feb 2015 (CET)

@Xavier Dengra: Totalment d'acord amb tu. Fart de la seva actitud intransigent, com si els projectes germans en idiomes petits no servissin per a res. Em venen ganes d'agafar una destral, posar-me al phabricator i carregar-me la pantalla de l'ordinador. Ara mateix em poso al phabricator i intento dir-hi alguna cosa.--Unapersona (discussió) 15:46, 12 feb 2015 (CET)

@Unapersona, Xavier Dengra: Sembla que acabarem més ràpid si em presento com a administrador... --Gerardduenas (discussió) 22:59, 12 feb 2015 (CET)

Per mi cap problema, és clar. El que no entenc és per què existeix aquest grup d'usuaris si posen tantes pegues a donar-lo... ja pots obrir la candidatura, gerard.--Unapersona (discussió) 16:42, 13 feb 2015 (CET) @Unapersona, Gerardduenas: Jo tampoc tinc problema en que la presentis, però abans de desistir del tot podríem comentar-ho a les llistes de correu d'Amical aviam si els pesos pesats de la Viquipèdia poden intercedir no? Crec que ells potser poden desencallar una mica el procés al·legant a la necessitat d'afegir funcionalitats i editar Mediawikis acord amb les necessitats del projecte obviant tasques de manteniment en les que ells no estan interessats (i que per tant res tenen a veure amb ser o no administrador). La veritat és que l'actitud dels de Phabricator està sent estúpida i autoritària com no n'havia vist encara a l'entorn wiki... Jo no la puc enviar que no estaré per casa aquest cap de setmana. Els podeu posar al dia i remetre a aquesta conversa, la presa de decisions i la conversa de phabricator? Moltes gràcies i paciència. Insistirem!--Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 17:42, 13 feb 2015 (CET)

Fonts bibliogràfiques

Alguna idea de com editar o treure-li suc a aquesta pàgina: Especial:Fonts_bibliogràfiques ? M'he fixat que cada cop que escrivim un ISBN s'hi crea un enllaç, i la veritat, la pàgina ara mateix deixa molt a desitjar. A la Viquipèdia tampoc és que la informació que conté sigui massa útil ni per tirar coets... w:Especial:Fonts_bibliogràfiques. Què hi dieu? --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 16:34, 3 gen 2015 (CET)

Mai he entès gaire de que serveix la pàgina...--Unapersona (discussió) 16:36, 3 gen 2015 (CET)

Ara ja se li pot treure més suc... Falta traduir i arrgelar enllaços i plantilles, m'he limitat a fer un copypaste de la versió anglesa i catalana de la Wikipedia. Ho podeu fer a Viquillibres:Obres de referència--Gerardduenas (discussió) 11:52, 4 gen 2015 (CET)

Enquesta

M'agradaria crear una enquesta a Google Docs sobre el projecte sobretot enfocada als lectors. Aviam si així veiem punts clau sobre per quina banda hem de centrar més esforços (tot i que no s'ha de ser cap superdotat per veure que evidentment el que ens falta és un llibre d'estil, continguts d'ajuda, polítiques i referències als llibres). Però bé, potser se'ns escapa alguna cosa que passem per alt i podria estar bé de desenvolupar. Si més no, també és quelcom personal que durant tants anys no m'hagi pres la molèstia de veure què en pensa la gent sobre això, ja que dedico un cert temps i vull veure si l'estic dedicant "on toca". Si voleu col·laborar en l'enquesta, quines preguntes faríeu o en quins temes us centraríeu? Pluja d'idees? --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 19:44, 13 gen 2015 (CET)

Es important preguntar què es troba a faltar, però sobretot quina utilitat té, si el fan servir per consultar informació, i podria ser interessant preguntar "T'has plantejat mai editar-hi? Perquè?" Bona nit!--Unapersona (discussió) 22:30, 13 gen 2015 (CET)

He obert un formulari a Google Docs per a crear-la. Si algú de vosaltres vol participar o donar-li una ullada, que m'enviï un correu privat, a viquillibres@gmail.com o a comunicacio@wikimedia.cat per a proporcionar-vos la contrasenya. Bona nit! --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 21:42, 16 gen 2015 (CET)

Fins el dia 31 de març estarà l'enquesta disponible al Sitenotice. 65 dies és una xifra prou representativa per obtenir dades, i si hi ha poques respostes es pot allargar. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 18:06, 26 gen 2015 (CET)

Properes fites

Ara que la portada de cuina està acabada i que som uns poquets... Quin d'aquests temes voldríeu engegar?

• Nova portada general
• Llibre d'estil
• Acabar de perfilar l'ajuda
• Altres?

--Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 23:27, 23 gen 2015 (CET)

Jo continuaria amb les portades... --Gerardduenas (discussió) 20:05, 26 gen 2015 (CET)

Jo esperaria a l'enquesta... precisament la fem per això, no?--Unapersona (discussió) 20:08, 26 gen 2015 (CET)

Estic amb el Gerard, la portada es pot anar fent xino-xano a part del que es comenti a les enquestes, ja que és una cosa lenta i que la podem anar reprenent intermitentment. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 22:36, 26 gen 2015 (CET)

Pluja d'idees

• Mantenir la capçalera actual (en tot cas enrequadrar-la)
• Format simplista i no carregat (tot al contrari que ara)
• Els bànners de Wikivoyage, per mi indispensables per donar un cop de puny sobre la taula en l'aspecte de visualització i renovació, i mirar una mica la portada de Wikidata i Wikibooks en anglès
• Dels bànners, un per Capítol destacat de la jornada o setmana, un per Capítol destacat de Viquijúnior i un per Recepta del dia o de la setmana.
• Ometre les notícies (ja tenim Twitter), apartat d'altres llengües (ho tenim al lateral), i relegar aspectes d'edició i comunitat a unes poques línies al final (com en el llibre de cuina)
• Prestatgeries molt bàsiques i portals corresponents (sense mostrar llibres a la portada): Ciències, Art i Humanitats, Llengües, Tecnologia i informàtica i Lleure
• Aprofitar la plantilla tan xula que tenim: {{botó}}

En definitiva, senzilla i breu, fàcil de moure's, poc farragosa i molt innovadora aprofitant els nous ginys.--Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 15:28, 27 gen 2015 (CET)

Completament d'acord amb fer una portada molt simplista. Aquest cap de setmana m'hi poso a veure que en surt --Gerardduenas (discussió) 22:10, 27 gen 2015 (CET)

D'acord amb la simplicitat que comenteu. De fet, aquest va ser l'objectiu de la renovació de la portada de viquidites. Comentar, també, que la portada del llibre de cuina té molts enllaços vermells. Potser hauriem de prioritzar això... em fa l'afecte que el llibre de cuina és com una calaixera molt gran però amb els calaixos buits... :) --Unapersona (discussió) 17:10, 30 gen 2015 (CET)

@Unapersona: La majoria dels enllaços vermells pot ser qüestió d'anar traduïnt de Wikibooks en anglès (tot i que allà la meitat de pàgines de cuina són esborranys que deixen força a desitjar...). --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 18:06, 30 gen 2015 (CET)

Extensió de qüestionaris

Traduïnt un llibre de Wikibooks (versió anglesa), he vist que ells tenen una extensió consistent en qüestionaris com aquest. Crec que seria una passada tenir-ho aquí. He preguntat a la seva Taverna com es pot aconseguir, i m'han respost que s'ha de demanar a Phabricator. A Mediawiki hi ha la informació pertinent (aquí).

@Gerardduenas, Unapersona: com ho veieu? Gerard tu domines bé aquest tema. T'hi veus amb cor de demanar-ho o vas molt atabalat? --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 16:57, 30 gen 2015 (CET)

Per mi endavant! Tot i que la feina serà considerable :P--Unapersona (discussió) 17:01, 30 gen 2015 (CET)

Ho demano --Gerardduenas (discussió) 12:22, 31 gen 2015 (CET)

Fet! Especial:Versió--Gerardduenas (discussió) 17:46, 10 feb 2015 (CET)

@Gerardduenas: Gràcies senyor! M'hi posaré amb Ajuda:Qüestionaris per explicar què són, quins tipus n'hi ha i com s'insereixen i analitzen resultats. Si tu saps com funcionen, quan acabis exàmens fica-hi cullerada si pots. Molt bona feina; ara només queda que ens concedeixin l'edició d'interfície. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 18:07, 10 feb 2015 (CET)

Acabo de veure que no es pot posar puntuació negativa a les incorrectes com a penalització. Per què? --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 18:10, 10 feb 2015 (CET)

Estàs segur que aquesta funcionalitat existeix? Potser no ho han incorporat a l'extensió. Es pot demanar - Gerardduenas (discussió) 08:29, 12 feb 2015 (CET)

@Gerardduenas: Sembla que no existeix. Però és que ara per ara no entenc el sentit de donar puntuació positiva per fallar una resposta; en tot cas hauria de ser negativa i penalitzar no? Creus que es podria demanar i ho aplicarien? --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 19:01, 17 feb 2015 (CET)

@Xavier Dengra: Provaré a veure si me'n surto programant-ho i si no ho demano. --Gerardduenas (discussió) 19:32, 17 feb 2015 (CET)

@Xavier Dengra: Veient https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Help:Quiz#quiz22 sembla que sí que es pot posar puntuació negativa a les respostes errònies, si més no a les de múltiples opcions.

Sobre donar puntuacions positives a respostes equivocades, en d'altres llocs he vist que es proposa fer-ho per les respostes aproximades. Per exemple, preguntar l'any de la batalla de Muret i donar un punt pel 1213 i mig punt per 1212 i 1214.--Pere prlpz (discussió) 17:46, 20 nov 2015 (CET)

VisualEditor News #1—2015

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's appearance, the coming Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.

The Wikimedia Foundation has named its top priorities for this quarter (January to March). The first priority is making VisualEditor ready for deployment by default to all new users and logged-out users at the remaining large Wikipedias. You can help identify these requirements. There will be weekly triage meetings which will be open to volunteers beginning Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at 12:00 (noon) PST (20:00 UTC). Tell Vice President of Engineering Damon Sicore, Product Manager James Forrester and other team members which bugs and features are most important to you. The decisions made at these meetings will determine what work is necessary for this quarter's goal of making VisualEditor ready for deployment to new users. The presence of volunteers who enjoy contributing MediaWiki code is particularly appreciated. Information about how to join the meeting will be posted at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal shortly before the meeting begins.

Due to some breaking changes in MobileFrontend and VisualEditor, VisualEditor was not working correctly on the mobile site for a couple of days in early January. The teams apologize for the problem.

Recent improvements

The new design for VisualEditor aligns with MediaWiki's Front-End Standards as led by the Design team. Several new versions of the OOjs UI library have also been released, and these also affect the appearance of VisualEditor and other MediaWiki software extensions. Most changes were minor, like changing the text size and the amount of white space in some windows. Buttons are consistently color-coded to indicate whether the action:

• starts a new task, like opening the ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽ dialog: blue ,
• takes a constructive action, like inserting a citation: green ,
• might remove or lose your work, like removing a link: red , or
• is neutral, like opening a link in a new browser window: gray .

The TemplateData editor has been completely re-written to use a different design based on the same OOjs UI system as VisualEditor. (T67815, T73746.) This change fixed a couple of existing bugs and improved usability. (T73077, T73078.)

Search and replace in long documents is now faster. It does not highlight every occurrence if there are more than 100 on-screen at once.(T78234.)

Editors at the Hebrew and Russian Wikipedia requested the ability to use VisualEditor in the "Article Incubator" or drafts namespace. (T86688, T87027.) If your community would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace on your wiki, then you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.

Looking ahead

The Editing team will soon add auto-fill features for citations. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to contribute to the Citoid service's definitions for each website, to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections.

We will need editors to help test the new design of the special character inserter, especially if you speak Welsh, Breton, or another language that uses diacritics or special characters extensively. The new version should be available for testing next week. Please contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF) if you would like to be notified when the new version is available. After the special character tool is completed, VisualEditor will be deployed to all users at Phase 5 Wikipedias. This will affect about 50 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh. The date for this change has not been determined.

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
• Please help complete translations of the user guide for users who speak your language.
• Join the weekly bug triage meetings beginning Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at 12:00 (noon) PST (20:00 UTC); information about how to join the meeting will be posted at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal shortly before the meeting begins, and you can also contact James F. to learn more about this initiative.
• Talk to the Editing team during the office hours via IRC. The next session is on Thursday, 19 February 2015 at 19:00 UTC.
• Subscribe or unsubscribe at Meta. If you would like to help with translations of this newsletter, please subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Thank you!

Wikidata is coming

(Sorry for writing in English. It'd be great if someone could translate this where necessary.)

Hi everyone :)

I am Wikidata's product manager. I wanted to reach out to you about Wikidata support for Wikibooks. Wikidata is storing structured data for Wikimedia projects (and others). These are for example things like the date of birth of a famous author or the height of a mountain. We are giving access to this data to all Wikimedia projects step by step. It is now Wikibooks' turn. As a first step you will be able to maintain your interwiki links on Wikidata. This means you no longer have to store them in the article text of each language. Instead they are stored just once on Wikidata together with all the other projects. (You will still be able to store them in the article text if you really want to but then they overwrite the links coming from Wikidata. Sometimes that is useful.) This first step should happen on February 24th. In the next step you will get access to all the other data on Wikidata. I do not have a date for that yet.

I am looking forward to having you join the Wikidata family! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me. There is a special page for you on Wikidata that will hopefully help you and is a good place to ask questions: d:Wikidata:Wikibooks.

Cheers Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) 20:41, 6 feb 2015 (CET)

Espai de noms --> Llibre de cuina:

@Unapersona, Xavier Dengra: He pensat que simplificaria molt, sobretot per novells, posar totes les receptes a un espai de noms que sigués "Llibre de cuina:" d'aqueta manera no la liaríem tant amb les subpàgines. De la mateixa manera també podríem crear el "Viquijúnior:". Què en penseu? --Gerardduenas (discussió) 14:03, 12 feb 2015 (CET)

Wikidata support for interwiki links is here

Hey everyone :)

(Sorry for writing in English. It'd be great if someone could translate where appropriate.)

As previously announced we have enabled interwiki links via Wikidata for Wikibooks last night. This means from now on you no longer have to maintain the links in the wikitext but can maintain them together with the links for Wikipedia, Commons, Wikivoyage, Wikisource, Wikinews and Wikiquote on Wikidata. You will still be able to keep them locally though if you want to. Local interwiki links will overwrite the ones from Wikidata. If you don't want any interwiki links from Wikidata on a particular page you can use the magic word {{noexternallanglinks}}.

You do not yet have access to the other data on Wikidata like the date of birth of an author. That will come in a future deployment. I will let you know when I have a date for it.

If you have any questions d:Wikidata:Wikibooks is a good first step. That is also a good place for any issues or bugs you encounter.

I'm very happy to welcome you all to Wikidata! I hope it will become a great help for Wikibooks.

Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) 08:58, 25 feb 2015 (CET)

Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content

This March, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas for improving gender diversity on Wikimedia projects. Less than 20% of Wikimedia contributors are women, and many important topics are still missing in our content. We invite all Wikimedians to participate. If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive, positive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign and help this project better represent the world’s knowledge!

Errors lingüístics

Hola! Us escric mentre la meva mare està llegint un capítol de Guia de plantes medicinals, usos i cultiu. M'ha comentat que en el capítol Guia de plantes medicinals, usos i cultiu/Utilització hi ha trobat bastants errors lingüístics. M'ha dit que la majoria de gent quan veu aquests errors de seguida tanca el llibre i busca una altra font. No sé si el Langtoolbot encara fa revisions, però estaria bé anar repassant també aquest tema. Trobo molt més imprescindible això que la creació de la nova portada (tot i que està quedant molt bé!). Quan pugui intentaré fer una repassada al llibre. Per cert, diu que s'apuntarà a l'agenda millorar el llibre quan tingui temps; diu que és molt bonic el fet de que "cadascú hi aporta el seu granet de sorra". Ànims, que veure que hi ha gent interessada dóna ganes de continuar editant! :)--Unapersona (discussió) 13:38, 31 març 2015 (CEST)

En Leptictidium va posar en marxa el seu bot corrector EVA-L (bot), però només va estar actiu un dia; contactaré amb ell. Sóc conscient que en Xavier Serra cometia alguns errors ortogràfics, però la seva feinada en crear un llibre de les dimensions d'aquest ho paga sobradament. Estaria bé demanar d'activar quants més bots millor, és un tema que estic d'acord en promoure. El Langtoolbot és d'en Jaumeortola oi? Demanaré també la posada en marxa de l'ArnauBot de la Viquipèdia. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 14:34, 31 març 2015 (CEST)

Receptes "Fem bullir l'olla" del Consell Comarcal del Baix Empordà

Des d'Amical Wikimedia s'ha arribat a un acord amb el Consell Comarcal del Baix Empordà per a publicar a Viquillibres les receptes participants (i les seves corresponents imatges, ja pujades a Commons) del Concurs "Fem Bullir l'Olla", que es troben amb llicència lliure. Ja les hem rebut al correu institucional del projecte (viquillibres@gmail.com) i estan en un Drive que pot ser compartit amb qualsevol usuari que demani participar en aquesta iniciativa de publicar-les al Llibre de cuina. Són unes 60 i escaig, algunes en castellà que haurien de ser traduïdes i altres en què el word no es veu gaire bé però només es tracta de xuclar-ne el contingut. Tant el nom de la recepta com el contingut en sí haurien de mantenir-se el més íntegrament possible (subjecte a esmenar errors ortogràfics, aclaracions, etc). Qui vulgui participar ja sap, que m'envïi un correu privat a mi o al del projecte i compartirem el Drive amb el seu compte de Gmail per a que pugui anar fent! --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 22:15, 1 abr 2015 (CEST)

No sé si és possible però podríem demanar un correu electrònic que no fos @gmail.com Potser el podem vincular amb el domini viquillibres.cat o amb el d'amical (wikimedia.cat). Preguntaré al Toniher a veure si és possible. --Gerardduenas (discussió) 15:22, 5 abr 2015 (CEST)

Em sembla correcte. Tot i així t'envio les dades del Gmail actual, que pel Drive va força bé i em sembla que no les tens. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 16:45, 5 abr 2015 (CEST)

@Xavier Dengra: El toniher m'ha dit que podem fer una redirecció és a dir viquillibres@wikimedia.cat que redirigirà a viquillibres@gmail.com. Continuarem obrint-lo des de gmail, però donarem de cara al públic una adreça més professional. Si viquillibres@wikimedia.cat et sembla bé no crec que tardem a tenir-lo. --Gerardduenas (discussió) 17:23, 6 abr 2015 (CEST)

VisualEditor per defecte

Hola, a rel de la proposta d'Unapersona a la llista de correu, proposo activar per defecte a tots els usuaris l'editor visual (com a funcionalitat beta que poden desactivar). Tal i com està configurat a la Viquipèdia o a Viquidites.

• Suport --Gerardduenas (discussió) 19:31, 7 abr 2015 (CEST)
• NS/NC Estaria bé perquè facilitaria els trets més bàsics d'edició, però ara per ara no està gens adaptat a les necessitats del projecte. Intentar fer una recepta amb l'editor visual, per exemple, és un maldecap. Caldria posar a primera fila les plantilles de referències, la de navegar, començar, infotaula recepta, enllaç a article de la viquipèdia (i per això s'haurien de configurar bé els paràmetres de totes aquestes plantilles i documentar-les ben al detall...). Potser abans de fer-lo extensible a tothom, l'hauríem de fer a mida del projecte, cosa que ara per ara hi ha una saturació de feina impressionant... Voto com a NS/NC per no comprometre la decisió; ho deixo al criteri de la resta de la comunitat. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 19:45, 7 abr 2015 (CEST)
• A favor Si que és veritat que encara no està prou adaptat per Viquillibres. Però de la mateixa manera que es poden posar les plantilles de ref-X com a menú desplegable hi hauria d'haver alguna manera de fer un menú desplegable amb les plantilles més utilitzades. Tanmateix, no fa cap mal tenir-lo per defecte, ni que sigui només pel text "normal". --Unapersona (discussió) 10:15, 8 abr 2015 (CEST)

Stewards confirmation rules

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep.

VisualEditor News #2—2015

Did you know?

With Citoid in VisualEditor, you click the 'book with bookmark' icon and paste in the URL for a reliable source:

Citoid looks up the source for you and returns the citation results. Click the green "Insert" button to accept its results and add them to the article:

After inserting the citation, you can change it. Select the reference, and click the "Edit" button in the context menu to make changes.

The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's performance, the Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.

The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at 11:00 (noon) PDT (18:00 UTC). You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the Editing team's Q4 blocker project with the bug. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal.

Recent improvements

VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and network speed by almost 40%.

The Editing team is slowly adding auto-fill features for citations. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.

Citoid requires good TemplateData for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.

The special character inserter has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the Phase 5 list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh.

Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use input method editors ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.

The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the "packed" mode in image galleries. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.

You can now drag and drop categories to re-arrange their order of appearance ​on the page.

The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.

Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.

Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (T90734)

Looking ahead

The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted at mediawiki.org.

The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon. (T90666)

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections

This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.

This year, elections are being held for the following roles:

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.

The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.

Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

Llibres de text

Hola,

He estat uns dies pensant amb un projecte molt ambiciós, però que si surt bé pot pujar viquillibres a un nivell estratosfèric. La idea seria implicar a diversos professors i experts (però sobretot professors) per oferir una col·lecció sencera de llibres de text per a cada curs. D'aquesta manera els professors (que molt sovint es queixen dels llibres, perquè el contingut no s'acaba d'adaptar) i els pares (que molt sovint es queixen dels preus) quedarien contents. El problema: són molts continguts i poca gent que s'hi vulgui implicar (potser aquí m'emporto una sorpresa, espero). En aquests moments tenim llibres de text però són molt generals i el nivell no està massa definit. La idea seria agafar tots els temaris de tots els cursos, fer una taula amb tots els temes que cal cobrir i anar omplint-ho.

Què en penseu?

Notifico: @Xavier Dengra, Unapersona, ESM, Barcelona, Paucabot: (si sabeu d'algú més que pugui aportar quelcom o que pugui estar-hi interessat, aviseu-lo si us plau)

Gerardduenas (discussió) 19:56, 17 maig 2015 (CEST)

De fet ja és la intenció a molt llarg terme d'aquest web, però jo no la veig viable ara mateix. Les pàgines d'ajuda, la interactivitat, l'editor visual, la millora dels llibres actuals... Està tot força verd (inclosos nosaltres) com per poder acollir un projecte d'aquesta envergadura. Crec que calen uns anys encara com per haver assentat bé les bases de Viquillibres, desenvolupar una comunitat estable i oferir uns continguts que cridin l'atenció d'una manera prou superior a la d'ara. Em sap greu aixafar una mica l'espurna d'aquesta idea ambiciosa, però crec que la línia a seguir hauria de ser més humil, la que estem treballant últimament: millorar que les noves visites ho trobin tot més fàcil i agradable i avançar en continguts poc a poc (el que va aflorar l'enquesta, vaja). Aviam què diu la resta. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 22:43, 17 maig 2015 (CEST)

Una bona idea d'en Gerard i una bona reflexió d'en Xavi. Diria que, com sempre, falten mans. Paucabot (discussió) 23:31, 17 maig 2015 (CEST)

D'acord amb tot el que s'ha dit, molt bona idea, però poques mans. Però si no m'equivoco, per això ja hi ha la viquiversitat (no existeix encara en català).--Unapersona (discussió) 19:49, 18 maig 2015 (CEST)

Jo també estic d'acord amb el que s'ha proposat. La idea encaixa plenament amb l'esperit de viquillibres, però no sé si es disposa d'efectius per dur-ho a terme ara mateix i de manera coordinada. Ànims! --ESM (discussió) 16:33, 19 maig 2015 (CEST)

@Unapersona: Viquiversitat són més tutorials, cursos i materials d'aprenentatge. Un dels continguts de Viquilibres és els llibres de text. De fet a la portada posa "la biblioteca de llibres de text i manuals lliures que tothom pot millorar" ;) --Gerardduenas (discussió) 16:36, 19 maig 2015 (CEST)

@Gerardduenas: és veritat. Igualment, continuo pensant el mateix. --Unapersona (discussió) 16:49, 19 maig 2015 (CEST)

D'acord que la idea és molt bona i d'acord que falten moltes mans. Probablement a qui cal implicar és a professors i potser pares d'escoles que actualment ja no estan fent servir llibres comercials sinó apunts i fotocòpies, que no sé si aquestes escoles són moltes però n'hi ha algunes. Un dels problemes de tot això és que qui hi hauria de posar els mitjans són les escoles però qui en tindria els beneficis són els pares, de manera que pot ser que costi posar-los d'acord.

En qualsevol cas, al final cal una revisió/aprovació professional d'algú per una versió distribuïble del llibre. Això en els llibres comercials ho fa l'editorial, però aquí ho hauria de fer o bé una escola o bé algú altre prou fiable com per que les escoles se'n fiïn, de manera que col·laborar amb una institució és imprescindible.

Que jo recordi, fa uns anys Wikimedia Argentina pretenia fer una cosa així, però no sé com va acabar. A més, seria bo buscar experiències d'altres viquillibres, perquè és una idea massa òbvia per que ningú ho hagi intentat abans (amb èxit o sense).--Pere prlpz (discussió) 10:40, 20 maig 2015 (CEST)

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core

Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.

There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.

Thank you,
The Pywikibot development team, 19:30, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

VisualEditor News #3—2015

Did you know?

When you click on a link to an article, you now see more information:

The link tool has been re-designed:

There are separate tabs for linking to internal and external pages. The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has created new interfaces for the link and citation tools and fixed many bugs and changed some elements of the design. Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.

A test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors at the English Wikipedia has just completed the first phase. During this test, half of newly registered editors had VisualEditor automatically enabled, and half did not. The main goal of the study is to learn which group was more likely to save an edit and to make productive, unreverted edits. Initial results will be posted at Meta later this month.

Recent improvements

Auto-fill features for citations are available at a few Wikipedias through the citoid service. Citoid takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto⧽, ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual⧽, or ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse⧽). The cite button is now labeled with the word "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "⧼Citoid-citeFromIDDialog-lookup-button⧽", for the submit button.

The link tool has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector. (T98085)

The special character inserter in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list at mediawiki.org. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (T70425)

Several improvements have been made to templates. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽" each time they want to add another parameter. (T95696) The team added a new property for TemplateData, "Exemple", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (T53049)

The design of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.

The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of non-existent images. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
• The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Wednesday at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the VisualEditor Q4 blocker project with the bug.
• If your Wikivoyage, Wikibooks, Wikiversity, or other community wants to have VisualEditor made available by default to contributors, then please contact James Forrester.
• If you would like to request the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
• The team is planning the second VisualEditor-related "translathon" for July. Please follow this task on Phabricator for details and updates! Announcements will follow in due course.

HTTPS

Apologies for writing in English.

Hi everyone.

Over the last few years, the Wikimedia Foundation has been working towards enabling HTTPS by default for all users, including unregistered ones, for better privacy and security for both readers and editors. This has taken a long time, as there were different aspects to take into account. Our servers haven't been ready to handle it. The Wikimedia Foundation has had to balance sometimes conflicting goals.

Forced HTTPS has just been implemented on all Wikimedia projects. Some of you might already be aware of this, as a few Wikipedia language versions were converted to HTTPS last week and the then affected communities were notified.

Most of Wikimedia editors shouldn't be affected at all. If you edit as registered user, you've probably already had to log in through HTTPS. We'll keep an eye on this to make sure everything is working as it should. Do get in touch with us if you have any problems after this change or contact me if you have any other questions.

Flow

Bones,

Fa temps que no veig gaires edicions de ningú... Volia proposar què us semblaria la possibilitat d'incorporar Flow a les discussions dels projecte. Ara que el nivell d'usuaris actius és baix, el canvi es notaria poc i suposo que no caldria canviar gaire cosa, només les descripcions de la taverna, plantejament de preguntes, etc. Com ho veieu? --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 15:46, 7 jul 2015 (CEST)

Crec que si vas les meves contribucions de qualsevol projecte de wikimedia no veuras gaires edicions meves :D Últimament estic una mica de vacances, però vaig "vigilant" de tant en tant els canvis recents de viquillibres, viquidites i la taverna de la viquipèdia. Cap problema per mi! --Unapersona (discussió) 21:06, 7 jul 2015 (CEST)

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.

How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (discussió) 08:21, 24 jul 2015 (CEST)

What does a Healthy Community look like to you?

Hola,

Us animo a participar a la nova presa de decisions que acabo d'obrir a Viquillibres:Presa de decisions/2015/Primera ronda de consens de polítiques. Hi debatrem la conveniència de les tres primeres pàgines de polítiques creades aquest 2015. Personalment considero que són essencials per començar a assentar unes bases fortes del projecte.

@Gerardduenas, Unapersona: Com a usuaris més actius els darrers dies, la crida va especialment dedicada a vosaltres; però també @Paputx, Profejmpc:, que ja teniu cert recorregut en el projecte. I @Loquetudigas:, si veus això (sigui quan sigui) suposo que t'animarà. Gràcies! --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 00:18, 3 ago 2015 (CEST)

@Unapersona: Perdó per trigar a respondre. En aquests casos en comptes de deixar un espai a prinicipi de línia, quedarà millor utilitzar els "code". Si poses un <code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $</code> dóna com a resultat pi@raspberrypi ~ $, que no s'expandeix tota la línia. Vagi bé! --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 19:24, 13 ago 2015 (CEST)

VisualEditor News #4—2015

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

Did you know?

You can add quotations marks before and after a title or phrase with a single click.

Select the relevant text. Find the correct quotations marks in the special character inserter tool (marked as Ω in the toolbar).

Click the button. VisualEditor will add the quotation marks on either side of the text you selected.

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

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team have been working on mobile phone support. They have fixed many bugs and improved language support. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving language support and functionality on mobile devices.

Wikimania

The team attended Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City. There they participated in the Hackathon and met with individuals and groups of users. They also made several presentations about VisualEditor and the future of editing.

Following Wikimania, we announced winners for the VisualEditor 2015 Translathon. Our thanks and congratulations to users Halan-tul, Renessaince, जनक राज भट्ट (Janak Bhatta), Vahe Gharakhanyan, Warrakkk, and Eduardogobi.

For interface messages (translated at translatewiki.net), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (+21.7%). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).

For documentation messages (on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (+20.3%). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).

We published some graphs showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.

Recent improvements

Auto-fill features for citations can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the citoid service to convert a URL or DOI into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, simple process at mediawiki.org. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the instructions at mediawiki.org.

Your wiki can customize the first section of the special character inserter in VisualEditor. Please follow the instructions at mediawiki.org to put the characters you want at the top. In other changes, if you need to fill in a CAPTCHA and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit Vega-based graphs. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.

Future changes

The team will be changing the appearance of selected links inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.

On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A recent controlled trial showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page is now using Flow instead of LiquidThreads.
• Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at mediawiki.org if you can help.
• If your wiki would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace, you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
• Please file requests for language-appropriate "Negreta" and "Cursiva" icons for the styling menu in Phabricator.
• The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.
• The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

{{Progrés}}

A Viquidites he fet un bot que actualitza la plantilla de progrés. Com que aquí la plantilla té el mateix format podria adaptar el codi perquè també actualitzés aquesta. Us sembla bé? --Unapersona (discussió) 23:04, 31 ago 2015 (CEST)

De luxe! Gràcies Unapersona :) --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 23:36, 31 ago 2015 (CEST)

Primera edició. Acabo de veure un bug amb l'hebreu, sembla que ha confos el nom original de la llengua amb el numero d'articles... ja m'ho miraré. Mentrestant, he demanat la marca de bot. --Unapersona (discussió) 10:36, 1 set 2015 (CEST)

El bug aquest que dic sembla ser que és problema del mediawiki. Suposo que, com que s'escriu de dreta a esquerra, canvia l'ordre de la paraula que té al costat... crec que no hi puc fer res. --Unapersona (discussió) 10:40, 1 set 2015 (CEST)

Introducing the Wikimedia public policy site

Hi all,

We are excited to introduce a new Wikimedia Public Policy site. The site includes resources and position statements on access, copyright, censorship, intermediary liability, and privacy. The site explains how good public policy supports the Wikimedia projects, editors, and mission.

Visit the public policy portal: https://policy.wikimedia.org/

Please help translate the statements on Meta Wiki. You can read more on the Wikimedia blog.

Thanks,

Yana and Stephen (Talk) 20:12, 2 set 2015 (CEST)

Wikidata data access is coming

Hi everyone,

Many Wikimedia projects already have access to Wikidata and make good use of it to improve their content. You already have access to the interwiki link part of Wikidata. I wanted to let you know that your project will be among the next to receive access to the actual data on Wikidata. It is currently scheduled for September 22nd. From then on you can use data from Wikidata either via the property parser function or Lua.

I hope we'll be able to support you well with structured data. If you have questions please come to d:Wikidata:Wikibooks.

Cheers Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) 18:12, 9 set 2015 (CEST)

Wikidata data access is here

A while ago I announced that you'll be among the next projects to get access to Wikidata's data. This has now happened. You can access the data via a parser function (#property) and Lua. For more information and to ask questions please come to d:Wikidata:Wikibooks.

I hope you'll be able to do great things with this and that it will make your life easier in the long-run.

Cheers Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) 17:48, 22 set 2015 (CEST)

Bànners de la portada

@Gerardduenas, Unapersona: Veieu bé els bànners? A mi se m'ha descol·locat la portada. Sabeu què pot haver passat i com es pot solucionar? Gràcies! --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 23:37, 22 set 2015 (CEST)

Jo els veig bé, però això podria ser una mal indicador, perquè quan es va fer el canvi els veia malament (a vegades 'ordinador em fa el boig amb el tema de la resolució de la pantalla). Podria ser un canvi degut a l'actualització del MediaWiki? O també, fa uns dies va venir un que va demanar que es modifiqués el common.js (em sembla que era aquest) perquè s'havia fet un canvi. Es podria deure a això? --Unapersona (discussió) 17:49, 23 set 2015 (CEST)

Ho sento molt que estic tant out, però aquest any m'he de concentrar molt en els estudis que necessito nota alta per entrar a la uni. Jo els veig bé, és que ja ho heu arreglat o encara els continues veient malament? --Gerardduenas (discussió) 19:35, 1 oct 2015 (CEST)

@Gerardduenas, Unapersona: Va ser durant un parell de dies que els veia malament. Ja està solucionat. Ànims, crec que tots anem força de bòlit en aquest inici de curs... --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 14:40, 2 oct 2015 (CEST)

VisualEditor News #5—2015

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

Did you know?

You can use the visual editor on smartphones and tablets.

Click the pencil icon to open the editor for a page. Inside that, use the gear menu in the upper right corner to "Canvia a edició visual".

The editing button will remember which editing environment you used last time, and give you the same one next time. The desktop site will be switching to a system similar to this one in the coming months.

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, added new features, and made some small design changes. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages like Japanese and Arabic, making it easier to edit on mobile devices, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.

Recent improvements

Educational features: The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the Enllaç and ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽ tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (T108620) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (T112354) More in-software educational features are planned.

Links: It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (T74108, T91285) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (T109498, T110347, T63558) These "magic links" use a custom link editing tool.

Uploads: Registered editors can now upload images and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "Insereix Imatges i multimèdia" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.

Mobile: Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (T85630) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (T111894) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "Suprimeix" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (T62110) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.

Rich editing tools: You can now add and edit sheet music in the visual editor. (T112925) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (T114227, T113354) When editing formulæ and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of graphs; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.

On the English Wikipedia, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under Special:Preferences.

Future changes

You will soon be able to switch from the wikitext to the visual editor after you start editing. (T49779) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a single edit tab. (T102398) This project will combine the "Modifica" and "Modifica el codi" tabs into a single "Modifica" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Modifica" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page uses Flow for discussions.
• Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).
• Local admins can set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki. If you need help, then please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
• The weekly task triage meetings are open to volunteers. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

Fractals

w:Fractals oscil·lants conté un text interessant sobre fractals però és recerca original. A la Viquipèdia s'hauria d'acabar esborrant. Creieu que seria adient per Viquillibres?--Pere prlpz (discussió) 20:24, 6 nov 2015 (CET)

@Pere prlpz: I tant, sempre que tingui la seva referència. Et veus amb cor d'importar-ho tu mateix? Gràcies! --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 19:19, 11 nov 2015 (CET)

Miraré a veure què trobo. El problema és que per "fractals" i pel mètode de Julia hi ha moltíssimes referències, però per "fractals oscil·lants" en aquest sentit del terme no ho crec. Ara bé, realment el que fa no és més original que publicar la taula de multiplicar del número 158, perquè només és aplicar una tècnica coneguda a uns casos donats.--Pere prlpz (discussió) 17:32, 20 nov 2015 (CET)

Community Wishlist Survey

Hi everyone! Apologies for posting in English. Translations are very welcome.

The Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is focused on building improved curation and moderation tools for experienced Wikimedia contributors. We're now starting a Community Wishlist Survey to find the most useful projects that we can work on.

For phase 1 of the survey, we're inviting all active contributors to submit brief proposals, explaining the project that you'd like us to work on, and why it's important. Phase 1 will last for 2 weeks. In phase 2, we'll ask you to vote on the proposals. Afterwards, we'll analyze the top 10 proposals and create a prioritized wishlist.

While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English.

Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button. We will be accepting proposals for 2 weeks, ending on November 23.

We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed

Hello! Wikimania 2016 scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see Scholarship committee for details.

If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

Títols dels capítols

Hola! He vist que s'han fet uns canvis a a plantilla de navegació, i m'agrada com ha quedat! Però tinc una proposta: què us semblaria que a les pàgines on s'utilitza la plantilla no sortís el títol de la pàgina? La plantilla ja té forma d'encapçalament, i crec que podria quedar molt bé. --Unapersona (discussió) 15:58, 21 nov 2015 (CET) Faig ping a @Xavier Dengra:, que potser no ha vist el tema. :) --Unapersona (discussió) 15:59, 22 nov 2015 (CET)

@Unapersona: Vaig a fer proves amb el __NOTITLE__ dins la plantilla. Pot estar bé però no ho tinc massa clar. Si queda bé apujaré la mida del títol de navegar. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 16:45, 22 nov 2015 (CET)

@Unapersona: Eps, el __NOTITLE__ no funciona ja amb el Mediawiki actual. He trobat la solució següent:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:<span style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1px 1px 1px 1px); clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);">{{FULLPAGENAME}}</span>}}

Però si vas a la meva pàgina de proves veuràs els problemes:

1. Quan cliques per editar, no et mostra què estàs editant,
2. Segueix mostrant el retorn a la pàgina principal,
3. Segueix quedant la línia grisa de sota el títol.

Si veus alguna solució ho seguim comentant, no ho veig mala idea. --Xavi Dengra (MISSATGES) 17:01, 22 nov 2015 (CET)

@Xavier Dengra: Segurament es tractaria de fer el "truquet" del CSS que es fa servir a la portada. El que no sé és com fer que només afecti les pàgines on hi ha la plantilla. Suposo que es tractaria de fer una classe en el codi html de de la plantilla i llavors, posar el codi per eliminar el titol dins de la classe. Pero no se com fer-ho perquè el meu nivell de CSS no és gaire elevat. @Gerardduenas: podries mirar-ho? --Unapersona (discussió) 17:08, 22 nov 2015 (CET)

Your input requested on the proposed #FreeBassel banner campaign

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.

Hi everyone,

This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.

As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.

We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.

Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)

Thank you for your participation!

Get involved in Wikipedia 15!

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!

People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.

Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:

• Join/host an event. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
• Talk to local press. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a handy summary of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a press release template and resources on working with the media, are also available.
• Design a Wikipedia 15 logo. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
• Share a message on social media. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!

Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.

If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.

Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!
-The Wikimedia Foundation Communications team

VisualEditor News #6—2015

Did you know?

A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button. Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.

If you prefer having separate edit buttons, then you can set that option in your preferences, either in a pop-up dialog the next time you open the visual editor, or by going to Special:Preferences and choosing the setting that you want:

The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently.

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

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

Since the last newsletter, the visual editor team has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.

Recent improvements

You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. The LaTeX mathematics formula editor has been significantly expanded. (T118616) You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code. You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.

Future changes

The single edit tab project will combine the "Modifica" and "Modifica el codi" tabs into a single "Modifica" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398, T58337) Initially, the "Modifica" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the Caixa d'edició tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Pestanyes d'edició:".

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016: Amharic, Buginese, Min Dong, Cree, Manx, Hakka, Armenian, Georgian, Pontic, Serbo-Croatian, Tigrinya, Mingrelian, Zhuang, and Min Nan. (T116523) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.

In 2016, the feedback pages for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. (T92661)

Testing opportunities

• Please try the new system for the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences. Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at the feedback topic on mediawiki.org or sign up for formal user research (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
  • Recorda el meu darrer editor,
  • Sempre fes servir l’editor visual si és possible,
  • Fes servir sempre l’editor de codi, and
  • Mostra’m les dues opcions d’editor. (This is the current state for people already using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
• Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).
