i did nothing wrong there, the problem was with pywikipedia because it will remove interwiki to closed wikis and hlwikinews was closed and an admin told me that it removed a valid link, many people are accept with this but that admin is not, you check other blocking reasons here she blocked other bots too and already there is none active bot there Mjbmr ^Talk 21:12, 25 януара 2011 (CET)

Орфоґрафічны нормы

Дорогы хосновачи русиньскої Вікіпедіи! Днесь нормы єдиного Русиньского языка щи лем ся розробляют. Тіж перед роботов над сим проєктом мусиме ся добесїдовати о нормах, же будеме туй хосновати. Най каждый вносит свою пропозицію...

За што нам єдиный русиньскый язык? Мало того же неякыє — і рôзныє — нормы вжо йстнуют, так вы що й хчете об’єдинити тоє, що не єст можливо об’єдинити. С пôздравом, — 85.140.244.195 18:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

норма єсть толико у Русинов в Сербии где єто официальный єзик!

Jest y u Rusynuw Slovakii, i u Rusynuw Serbii y u Rusynuw Polshchy y dazhe u Rusynuw Ukrainy (Gramatyka I. Kerchi...)Ajbo jakyj nam vubraty dila Wikipedii?

Добрі бесідувати ланно, без матюків. Таких слув в русиньскум язику ниє. Пиште паранно.

Мусиме взяти за основу котрусь ґраматику языка хотя бы для того обы хосновати єднакі літери.

тото ся дуже тяжко робит. Менi ся май близькый лемкувскый, а дакому другому, може, и иншый вариант ся май любит авать легшый. Думау, ош каждый доужен, кедь пише дашто, та указоваты, котрый вариант бере. Думау, ош такое правило годно нас варовати. --AndriyHusti 21:37, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

я згодный з вами у тім што пишете. Я пишу пряшівсков варіантов і то є фактічно южнолемківска бісїда кодіфікована лінґвістами з Пряшівской універзіты в 1995 роцї. Могли бы ся створити три шаблоны, єдна про польскый, друга про словацькый і третя про україньскый варіант, і подля языка бы ся могли класти на спід каждой статї. Русины на Словакії і в Польску уже мають кодіфікованы нормы но што ся тыкать Русинів на Українї, виджу проблем же там не є офіціалный інштітут, котрый бы ся занимав русиньскым языком. Также Русины з Україны бы ся могли добісїдовати, же котру підкарпатьску ґраматіку (І. Керча ...) хотять хосновати на Вікіпедії бо даяка норма бы мала быти і тыж бы міг быти єден редактор - Русин з Україны, котрый бы ся старав о правилность вшыткых статей підкарпатьской варіанты Gazeb 06:46, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Є веце варіант діалекту, і є пару ґраматік, на Словеньску і Польску суть кодіфікованы нормы, котры треба дотримовати. Змысел норм є ясный і думам, же го ту не треба детайлно росписовати. Пропоную хосновати максімално 3 варіанты: польско-лемківска, словеньско-лемківска і підкарпатьска. І кажда статя бы была писана лем на єднім з тых варіант і не была помішана. Што ся тыче підкарпатьской, дотеперь ту не впала жадна пропозіція про ґраматіку, также до такых текстів бы-м пропоновав класти даяку шаблону з текстом наприклад як "Тота статя неписана подля жадной русиньской языковой нормы" Gazeb 09:16, 2 апріля 2011 (CEST)

Дик я так розумію спроба створити вікіпедію закарпатською говіркою провалилась.Ваші варіанти мови відрізняються один від одного більш ніж сама так звана русинська від української.

• Так просто тре' було взяти за основу саме сербський, або паннонський варіант мови, оскільки тільки він - кодифікований. А так вийшла якась повна каша, і кожен «русин» став писати по-своєму. Так чим же, в такому разі, білоруси або українці не русини? Врешті решт вийшла би така собі вікі, в якій можна було б писати будь-якою східнослов'янською мовою або комбінацією мов окрім літературної російської. :) 173.79.92.176

Ы і И в русинській

На головній сторінці: "слободній енціклопедії, котру може управляти каждый." — Тото написав, але не підписав, хоснователь 193.108.103.122 (діскузія • приспевкы).

Отже, і = укр. і, а що із "ы" та "и"? Одна із них = укр. и, а інша? Ці літери позначаюсь різні звуки, або додані задля кількості літер?

так, то суть різны звукы і = укр. і, и = укр. и, ы є старуськый звук пише ся в згодї з высловностёв, послухайте наприклад автентічный русиньскый стишок із Словакії. — Тото написав, але не підписав, хоснователь Gazeb (діскузія • приспевкы).

>> "ы є старуськый звук"

Давньоруський вокалізм:

	Передні	Середні	Задні
Верхні	i,ь	ɨ (=Ы)	u
Середні	e	ъ	o
Нижні	ѣ	a

і = укр. i, Ы = укр. И, Що саме тут = русин. Ы? (цікаво, бо якось не укладається це у систему голосних у слов’янських мовах) — Тото написав, але не підписав, хоснователь 193.108.103.122 (діскузія • приспевкы).

См. en:Rusyn language#Alphabet. Буква «И» используется для написания звука /ɪ/, «Ы» — для /ɨ/. В украинском (литературном) языке есть только первый. В русском есть оба, но первый лишь как аллофон. --Gleb Borisov 14:49, 27 януара 2011 (CET)

Так, добрї пишете, Ы != укр. И, україньске (і тыж русиньске) и є нелабіалізованый гласный звук переднёго ряду верьхнёго піднятя, ы є нелабіалізованый звук середнёго ряду верьхнёго піднятя. Літературный україньскый язык не має звук ы. Там є векшынов нагородженый звуком и або у. ты = ти, быти = бути. Ы в русиньскім писаню є єднозначне, все ся пише там де ся высловлює.Gazeb 08:17, 30 януара 2011 (CET)

Почему Катеґорія?

Не знаю где писать, поэтому пишу тут. Почему Катеґорія? Надо без ґ а просто г. Как это исправить? Mutz 15:08, 27 януара 2011 (CET)

Русиньскый язык має ґ - то ся высловлює як російске "г" і тыж має г, котре ся высловлює як україньске "г". Катеґорія звучіть інакше як Категорія, фонетічно то не є тото саме. Gazeb 16:06, 27 януара 2011 (CET)

Літеру ґ має так само і українська мова і білоруська я то знаю! Питання у тому, чи слово Категорія треба писати через одну, чи через іншу букву? У будь-якому разі у половині місць написана одна у половині інша. Тото не є правильно! Треба визначитись та виправити. Я не проти того яку вживати, але треба єдино! Mutz 18:24, 28 януара 2011 (CET)

Просторы назв суть іщі все по українскы. Аж буде вікіпедія актуалізована, мали бы ся вычеряти русиньскыма. Gazeb 19:51, 28 януара 2011 (CET)

Почему « {{ns: Category}} = Катеґорія » with « г » and « Шпеціална:Categories = Катеґорії » with « ґ » ? --Budelberger 20:39, 29 януара 2011 (CET) ().

Суржик і русинська мова

Я хотівби спитати, суржик і русинська мова це одне й те саме ???--Gerbeda 22:02, 28 януара 2011 (CET)

Вы справды не годен найти одповідь? Ваша вікіпедія має статї як про суржик так про русиньскый язык. Gazeb 23:47, 28 януара 2011 (CET)

Больша тыго, гэта ня толькі адне і теж, але і єдінає целая руССкава народу! Уґа таваґішчі! Я взагалі дивуюсь як ви посміли з вашого діалекту створити Вікіпедію, Вікіпедію завалять скаргами, цієї мови не існує, годі вже дурницями займатись.--Shiver2005 18:58, 15 марца 2011 (CET)

Тота Вікіпедія была схвалена школованыма і компетентныма людми з языкового выбору фонду Вікімедія. Ту не є простор на ваше властне баданя ці вашы властны ідеї ці ідеї радікалных ґруп або шовінізм. --Gazeb 19:36, 15 марца 2011 (CET)

Те, що школованими я бачу. Рідкісна школота. Ваш шовінізм називати себе русинами, окремим народом у той час коли русини це давня самоназва українців. Русинської мови не існує, русинської нації не існує, сучасний варіант: українська мова та українська нація. В цього проекту ростуть ноги зі Словаччини, вона завше прагнула відчепити шматок української землі. Я вам нагадаю, що Вікіпедія - це не сміттєзвалище і не зграя покидьків самозванців - це наукова вільна енциклопедія. І тут на моїй пам'яті були і штучні мови, котрі довго не проіснували, їх видаляли, бо когось ввели в оману. Те ж саме чекає і на вашу вікіпедію. Ваша брехня не має меж!--Shiver2005 12:36, 16 марца 2011 (CET)

покы похыбуєте о компетенції языкового выбору ці цілого фонду Вікімедія посудити новы языковы верзії Вікіпедій, прошу, штонайскорше ескалуйте тото на іншім, приналежнім місцї, тота діскузія не служыть такым цілям. То же Русины давна назва Українцїв є коректна інформація, тыж є інтересне же і Словеньско і Словіньско хоснують про свою назву стару назву Славян колишнёй Візантьской рішы. Русиньска Вікіпедія не твердить же Русины суть окремый народ ани не твердить же суть Українцї. Обидва погляды гев але годен вєдно найти в рамках овірительных науковых інформацій. Русиньскый язык у формі діалектів і кодіфікованій формі реално екзістує і реално ся хоснує, то є овірительный факт і з погляду Вікіпедії аж так не залежыть ці го назвеме языком або діалектом бо Вікіпедія підпорує як языкы, так і діалекты языків. То же Словакія хоче вкрасти Українцям землю є недостовірна інформація і дасть ся брати як поплашна вість, прошу не росшырюйте так фалошны інформації. Прошу не судьте статї у русиньскій Вікіпедії на основі недокінченых ці застарілых статей. Дакотры малы Вікіпедії досправды скінчіли але то было скоре недостатком редакторів. Русиньска Вікіпедія щі лем теперь ся зродила і час вкаже ці гев буде мати дахто дяку писати. --Gazeb 17:47, 16 марца 2011 (CET)

Русинська мова - існує, народ Русинський - жиє! не плутати з російським, і тим паче з українським. признано русинів четвертим руським (ru - русским) народом і те, що є прямими нащадками Білих Хорват!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Jack-Knife () 30 марца 2011 (CET)

Комедія! Я хіба не русин? Га? Я ж Русі то? Нації русинської немає! Мова - діалект! Я не проти русинської вікіпедії, вважаю кодифіккацію діалектів виправданою, адже ця область історично і культурно дещо відірвана, та й літературна мова українська створена на основі наддніпрянського говору, а русинські діалекти та наддніпрянський говір сильно відрізняються. Вважаю безглуздям сперечатись на тему русинськї нації. Підтвердження того, що русини - те ж, що й українці є те, що носії літературної мови і русинських діалектів надзвичайно легко розуміються, навіть ніколи раніше не стикавшись з діалектом чи літературним варіантом. І розуміються найкаще серед усіх словян (де у вас апостроф? люди добрі? Ой забув, немає в цьому варіанті апострофа) Українець і русин - етносиноніми. Просто один сучасний, інших застарілий, поширений на зараз лише заході України. До прикладу. Я не знаю русинської мови асолютно. не знаю правил. нічого. Ппроте вільно її розумію, питань не виникає. А от написати не зможу( Щодо білоруської мови, то розумію через раз, і лишень завдяки знанням російської мови). Не будьте сепаратистами. Не товчіть воду у ступі. Те, що в Україні зараз не дуже добре, це не означає, що цього потрібно соромитись. Нам є чим і ким пишатись. А Білі Хорвати - плем(апостроф)я, предки українців. У 1938-39 роках Закарпаття рвалося до України! І вони називалди себе і русинами. І вважали себе українцями, а зараз - просто політичні вибрики.

Сумно, коли так агресиво поводять себе люди, коли не знають (про непорозуміння вище, зі суржиком, шовінізмом). Надіюсь, що цей розділ буде серйозним, і будуть в майбутньому відкинуті політичні гіпотези, про окремість русинів. (Я РУСИН! Я УКРАЇНЕЦЬ!) -- Балакун (діскузія) 14:16, 18 апріля 2012 (CEST)

Так, но і векшы Вікіпедії як Русиньска не мають дороблены політічны гіпотезы к Русинам. Наприклад Україньска Вікіпедія. Не судьте і не пробуйте змінити Вікіпедію скоре, як їй порозуміте. Усвідомте собі, же Вікіпедія є робота за ходу. Дакотры люде прийдуть і ани жебы порозуміли, як і чом Вікіпедія фунґує, зачнуть жадати векшу контролю, або судять цілый проєкт на основі новых недокінченых сторінок або інакше нецїлых статей. Просто повіджено, як ся ту хочете чути добрї, толеруйте, просиме, дакус (дочасны) недоконалости. --Gazeb (діскузія) 19:14, 18 апріля 2012 (CEST)

Не хвилюйтеся, я прекрасно розумію, що таке вікіпедія. І знаю. що це має бути нейтральнаінформація.Просто обговорення , на жаль політи зоване. Я теж висловив свою думку. Можливо введіть заборону на політичні суперечки. Це заважає розвитку. Можливо. так буде краще. Інкше сюди ьбудуть лізти різні некомпетентні в цьому питанні дописувачі з інших вікіпедій. І що таке векшы? В русинськаій багато запозичень, функціонують архаїзми деякі. Я цього слова не розумію. Де можна побачити кількість дописувачів і користувачів? Є якась статистика?

Bot Policy

To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which form the vast majority of such requests. The policy also enables global bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots. This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards and is implemented in many little wikis (see list).

Please read the text at m:Bot policy before commenting. If you object, please say so. --Emaus 03:43, 30 януара 2011 (CET)

{{DEFAULTSORT:}} для біоґрафій

Пропоную ставити у статтях-біоґрафіях {{DEFAULTSORT:}} для сортування за прізвищем. Напр. Александер Духновіч -> {{DEFAULTSORT:Духновіч}}, Джордж Ґордон Байрон-> {{DEFAULTSORT:Байрон}} і т.д. --A1 23:59, 3 фебруара 2011 (CET)

I have to create the Lifetime template for biographies. Wait a little. The main problem with DEFAULTSORT is the Rusyn alphabet (see e. g. here, here and here). --Budelberger 00:14, 4 фебруара 2011 (CET) ().

Done. {{Lifetime}} needs translation. See also Андрій Бачіньскый. How to say « Day Month births/deaths », « Year births/deaths » ? And years before Christ ? « N до н. е. » ? --Budelberger 01:30, 4 фебруара 2011 (CET) (). (Once all problems resolved, you will be able to adapt your bots to expand {{Lifetime}}.)

I would suggest « День Місяць народили ся/вмерли », « Рік народили ся/вмерли » ? and « N до н. е. ». And also I would suggest to change existing text in all days of year (pages like 10._октобер)and year pages (pages like 1900) from « Народжіня » to « Народили ся » and « Умертя » to « Вмерли ». Gazeb 18:05, 4 фебруара 2011 (CET)

Підтримую тоту пропозіцію. Тілько додам, же было бы лїпше вписовати в шаблон тыж ай іншы части іменї, наприклад, {{DEFAULTSORT:Байрон, Джордж Ґордон}}, як тото є в іншых языковых розділах. --Gleb Borisov 00:49, 4 фебруара 2011 (CET)

• 13. фебруар 2011 - 1700 статей у нашій Вікіпедії
• 14. фебруар 2011 - 175. місце в порядку Вікіпедії (174. Гавай, 176 Пенсілванія...)

і стачіло бы писати або округлы чісла (1550, 1600, 1650 ...) або зміну порядку у списку Вікіпедій (173. місце, 174. місце)

One year Rusyn Wikipedia

Hello Rusyn Wikipedians,
congratulations, today it is now 1 year since the rue.wikipedia.org subdomain was created. From the Wikimedia Incubator & Language Committee, we would like to get some feedback from newer wikis about their situation.

We prepared some questions about what we would like to know. Feel free to answer as many of them as you like.

1. How has activity developed after the subdomain's creation? (in comparision with the situation on Incubator)
2. Is it now easier to be found by new users? How was the reception of the new wiki: in media maybe? in friends/family circles?
3. Were your exceptions in general fulfilled or not?
4. Would you have done something in a better/different way in hindsight?
5. Is there anything where you say 'This should have been better during the testing phase (Incubator, Langcom)'?
6. What was nice/easy/desirable on Incubator? :-)

Best regards, --MF-Warburg 17:55, 23 януара 2012 (CET)

Hello, thank you very much for the congratulation,

1. In incubator there was 1200 articles from April 2007 to 23.1.2011. Now we have close to 3500 articles. Moving rue wiki from incubator really helped to increase number of contributors
2. New active users is still hard to find but it is better than in the incubator.
3. We need some more stable contributors, maybe better propagation in Rusyn media could help to improve this.
4. No.
5. No.
6. It was good site to start the wiki projekt and I liked to worked there. There was great information how to start wiki project and start to write first pages.

Thank you, Gazeb, for these informative answers! --MF-Warburg 00:58, 30 януара 2012 (CET)

Language support group for Rusyn

The Wikimedia Foundation has brought together a new team of developers who are dedicated to language support. This team is to support all the languages and consequently it is not realistic to expect that the team members can provide proper support for your language. It is for this reason that we are looking for volunteers who will make up a language support team.

This language support team will be asked to provide us with information about their language. Such information may need to be provided either to us or on a website that we will indicate to you. Another activity will be to test software that will likely have an effect on the running of the MediaWiki software. We are looking for people who clearly identify their ability. Formal knowledge is definitely appreciated.

As much of the activity will be concentrated on translatewiki.net, it will be a plus when team members know how to localise at translatewiki.net.
Thanks, Gmeijssen 21:31, 1 фебруара 2012 (CET)

Побажання:Розробіть систему правопису

Є три кодифікованих варіанти. Оберіть, чи якось домовтеся, на якому варіанті писати, де вживати діалекти і говірки, а бо хоча б, щоб стаття була написана одним діалектом. Незрозумілість системи мови, суміш говірок підривають загальну думку про русинську Вікіпедію. Мішанина мов і говірок допускається лише при обговоренні. Є ж правила то кодифіковані, дотримуйтесь. Це ж не якийсь приватний сайт, форум. Пишіть енциклопедично. Це серйозна енциклопедія. Або ніяк не пишіть. Беріть приклад з каталонської вікіпедії. Там використання говірок узгоджене. -- Балакун (діскузія) 16:22, 18 апріля 2012 (CEST)

Мы уж теперь ся намагаме писати холем статї жебы были єдным языком. Зато гев годен найти переважну часть писану пряшівскым кодіфікованым віаріантом русиньского языка, пару статей іншыма варіантами языка. Зато я не цїлком згоден з тым што сьте написали. Аж буде воля і комуніта ся кус розросне та вырїшыме якым варіантом писати. --Gazeb (діскузія) 19:09, 18 апріля 2012 (CEST)

Ваші слова звучать наче якась претензія, але дуже необґрунтована. Де це Ви бачили суміш чи мішанину? --Engelseziekte (діскузія) 15:42, 19 юлія 2012 (CEST)

Згоден, що кожен має право обирати варіант, але потрібно, щоб писалась стаття на одномі варіанті. Як будуть статті про якісь міста, регіони, то краще писати місцевим діалектом. Надіюсь проект не буде політизованим. Проте, якщо не залучие людей, то його закриють. Розділ сильно програє, оскільки більшість жителів лемківщини і пряшівщини віддають перевагу іншим вікіпедіям. Популяризуйте. На жаль, я не зможу допомогти проекту, оскільки не вмію писати русинськими діалектами. Бажаю удачі! -- Балакун (діскузія) 10:08, 19 апріля 2012 (CEST)

Дякую, я згоден з тым вшыткым што вы написали. --Gazeb (діскузія) 07:00, 24 апріля 2012 (CEST)

Пропозиція

Можливо, нехай русинська версія ввійде до складу українського розділу як підрозділ, написаний діалектом. Щось такого типу можна ввести (новинка), адже це одна мова. Це підвищить гарантіїї розділу, його стабільність. Я вважаю, що дуже складно створити самодостатну версію Вікіпедії мікромовою-діалетом. Можливо так буде легше. І ще залучіть відповідальних дописувачів, збільшіть за їх рахунок кількість адмінісраторів. Один це мало. Має бути для початку до 10-20. -- Балакун (діскузія) 17:33, 26 апріля 2012 (CEST)

Інтересна ідея, но думам же тоты што собі хотять найти стежку до Русиньской вікіпедії єй найдуть скорше на сепаратнім роздїлу. Дале ту є політічный вопрос. Та же, кідь мам повісти за себе, та думам же лїпше є зохабити як є теперь а може як не буде в будучности участників та проголосити єй як неуспішну. --Gazeb (діскузія) 08:21, 29 апріля 2012 (CEST)

Pomoc Wikimédie pre rusínske projekty

Zdravím. Prepáčte, že píšem slovensky ale táto správa je určená len pre ľudí žijúcich na Slovensku.

Dobrovoľníčim v organizácii Wikimedia Slovenská republika, ktorá sa zaoberá hlavne (ale nie len) podporovaním tvorby na wiki-projektoch a informovaním o nich. Síce sa zameriavame predovšetkým na projekty v slovenčine, radi pomôžeme aj s rusínskymi projektami (pracujeme v rámci Slovenska), prípadne môžme pomôcť aj s komunikáciou s ukrajinskou a poľskou organizáciou.

Pripravujeme napríklad projekt na preplácanie cestovných nákladov pre ľudí, ktorí prednášajú o wiipédii; pripravujeme informačné / propagačné / výukové materiály ako prispievať na Wikipédiu a Commons. Ak by ste mali ďalšie návrhy, radi ich uvítame. Napríklad by sme mohli zabezpečiť skener na knihy, ktoré by boli následne umiestnené na Wikizdroj (ak by bol dovtedy založený, čo sa dá množstvom materiálu urýchliť). Možností je viacero, treba však nejakého miestneho človeka, ktorý pozná tak prostredie rusínskych wiki-projektov ako aj rusínske kultúrne prostredie a organizácie; a samozrejme má záujem pracovať aj mimo internetu.

Ak vás moja ponuka zaujala tak nám napíšte a môžme dohodnúť detaily. Tiež pamätajte, že sme občianske združenie a teda členovia majú u nás väčšie slovo. (Ak by ste mi chceli napísať na Wikipédiu tak radšej použite moju diskusiu na esperantskej alebo slovenskej Wikipédii). --KuboF (діскузія) 23:13, 27 юнія 2013 (CEST)

Účasť na konferencii Wikimédie

(Prepáčte, že píšem v slovenčine. Prosím preložte túto správu do rusínčiny.) Zdravím. Nájde sa tu niekto kto by mal záujem pracovať pre rusínske wiki-projekty aj informačnou a propagačnou prácou? Niekto kto by chcel organizovať prednášky a školenia, spolupracovať so školami a prácou študentov, s múzeami, knižnicami a archívmi a dokumenty ukladať na internetové wiki-projekty a vo všeobecnosti šíriť povedomie o týchto projektoch? Ak sa niekto nájde, organizácia Wikimedia Slovenská republika by s tým vedela pomôcť.

Zároveň by sa taký človek mohol zúčastniť konferencie Wikimédií strednej a východnej Európy, kde by sa v takejto práci zlepšil a nazbieral potrebné skúsenosti. V prípade záujmu nás kontaktujte čím skôr, najneskôr do konca septembra. S pozdravom, predseda WMSK KuboF (діскузія) 19:12, 9 септембра 2013 (CEST)

Кідь бы ся дахто нашов, орґанізація Вікімедія Словацка републіка бы годна была з тым помочі.

Global AbuseFilter

Hello,

AbuseFilter is a MediaWiki extension used to detect likely abusive behavior patterns, like pattern vandalism and spam. In 2013, Global AbuseFilters were enabled on a limited set of wikis including Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies and (in early 2014) all the "small wikis". Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "medium sized wikis" as well. These filters are currently managed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and have shown to be very effective in preventing mass spam attacks across Wikimedia projects. However, there is currently no policy on how the global AbuseFilters will be managed although there are proposals. There is an ongoing request for comment on policy governing the use of the global AbuseFilters. In the meantime, specific wikis can opt out of using the global AbuseFilter. These wikis can simply add a request to this list on Meta-Wiki. More details can be found on this page at Meta-Wiki. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter.

Thanks,

PiRSquared17, Glaisher

Feedback request: VisualEditor's special character inserter

I apologize for writing in English. Please translate this message so that all of your editors can read it. Thank you!

Hi everybody, my name is Erica, and I am a Community Liaison at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm writing to you because the Editing team at WMF wants to know what you think about VisualEditor and its new ⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽ tool. This change will affect all users on about 50 Wikipedias, including your Wikipedia. Many editors at these Wikipedias need a special character tool to be able to write articles correctly, which is why we are asking you now.

The new special character inserter tool is available in VisualEditor now. Admins at your wiki can change the contents by following the directions at mediawiki.org.

New design for the special character inserter. The red arrow points to the button for the tool, which is marked with Ω (omega).

To test the ⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽ tool, please:

1. Opt-in to VisualEditor by going to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and choosing "Візуальний редактор". Save your preferences.
2. Edit any article or your user page in VisualEditor by clicking on the new "Едітовати" tab at the top of the page. See the mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide for information on how to use VisualEditor.
3. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on Mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know what you think about this new design. It is important that they hear from as many editors as possible. You may leave your comments in any language.

When the special character tool has been refined a little more based on your thoughts, we will offer VisualEditor by default to all editors at this wiki. If you want to help prepare, please read the advice on mediawiki.org.

Thank you, Elitre (WMF) (talk) 19:33, 12 марца 2015 (CET)

VisualEditor coming to this wiki

Hello again. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you can translate this message!

VisualEditor is coming to all editors at this Wikipedia on Monday, March 30th. Візуальний редактор is software that allows people to edit articles without needing to learn wikitext code (like typing [[ to start a link). You don't have to wait until the deployment to test it; you can test Візуальний редактор right now. To turn it on, select "Beta" in your preferences. Choose "Візуальний редактор" and click save.

Now, when you press the "Едітовати" button to edit an article, you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press "Едітовати жрідло". (After the deployment, everyone will automatically have the option to use either VisualEditor or the current wikitext editor.) For more information about how to use VisualEditor, see mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide.

More information about preparing for VisualEditor is posted here.

• It's easier to add templates if you've added TemplateData instructions to them.
• Please help translate the pages about VisualEditor here and on MediaWiki.org, and its user interface. See VisualEditor TranslationCentral for general information. To translate the user guide, go to the MediaWiki.org page, and select "Перекласти тоту сторінку". Your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. Once you've done this, you'll see the document in English side by side with any translation work already done in your language. You can add new translations or change old translations. To translate the user interface, you need to create an account at translatewiki.net. Contact me personally if you need help with that.
• We need your help to improve the software! Please let us know if you find any problems.

Please contact me if you need further help though. Happy editing, User:Elitre (WMF) (talk) 17:09, 30 марца 2015 (CEST)

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)

Content Translation beta-feature is now available

Здравствуйте,

Инструмент Content Translation был включен как бета-функция в Википедии на вашем языке. Чтобы переводить, включите бета-функцию и пройдите на страницу вашего вклада или прямо на страницу перевода, выберите язык, с которого вы переводите, и напишите название статьи, которую вы хотите перевести. Если такая статья уже есть на вашем языке, будет показано предупреждение. Когда вы закончите писать перевод, вы можете опубликовать её как полноценную страницу в Википедии. Если страница с таким же названием будет создана пока вы переводите, вам будет предложено сохранить ваш перевод как черновик в вашем пространстве пользователя. Количество созданных статей показано на странице статистики.

Это первая проба этого инструмента на вашем языке, и возможно, что вы обнаружите неисправности, о которых мы ещё не знаем. Мы будем отслеживать как инструмент используется здесь, но мы просим вас сообщать нам о найденных вами неисправностях на странице обсуждения, или через Фабрикатор. Вы можете найти дополнительную информацию на странице описания проекта.

Спасибо!

Hello, Content Translation has now been enabled as an opt-in beta feature on this Wikipedia. To start translating, enable the beta feature and go to Special:ContentTranslation or to your contributions page and create a new translation by selecting the source language, the article name and target language. If the article already exists then a warning will be displayed. After you translate the article, you can publish it directly as a new page on the Wikipedia. In case the article gets created by another user while you were translating, you will see an option to save the newly published translation under your user namespace. The number of published pages can be seen on the Content Translation stats page.

Since, this is the first time we have installed the tool on this Wikipedia, there are chances that there may be some problems or service disruptions which we are not yet aware of. We will be monitoring the usage to check for any failures or issues, but please do let us know on the Content Translation talk page or through Phabricator if you spot any problems that prevent you from using the tool. For more information, please read about how to use the tool. You can also view a short screencast on how to use Content Translation. My apologies for writing this announcement only in English and Russian. Please feel free to translate this message for wider distribution. Thank you.

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, "Приклад", 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.

Please join the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon.

It is a translation rally, focused on interface messages and help pages related to VisualEditor. In order to participate, you need to sign up on the Translathon page on TranslateWiki.

The top 3 contributors will each win a Wikipedia t-shirt of their choice from the Wikipedia store. Translations made between July 15th and July 19th (CDT time zone) qualify.

If you are at Wikimania Mexico this year, you are also welcome to join a related sprint during the hackathon in Workplace 1 - Don Américo, Thursday 16 July at 4pm (CDT) at the conference venue, so you can meet other fellow translators and get support if you need some.

Interface messages have the priority. You will need to create an account at translatewiki.net in order to work on them, if you don't have one. It is recommended to create the account ASAP, so that it can be confirmed in time.

You can also help translate documentation pages about VisualEditor on mediawiki.org. You can use your Wikipedia account to work there.

You will find instructions, links and other details on the Translathon page.

Thanks for your attention, and happy translating!

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 "Товсте" and "Курзіва" 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.

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. Thank you!

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 "Товсте" and "Курзіва" 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.

VisualEditor News #5—2015

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 "Перемкнутися на візуальне редагування".

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 Одказ 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 "Вставити Зображення та мультимедіа" 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 "Вилучити" 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 "Едітовати" and "Едітовати жрідло" tabs into a single "Едітовати" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Едітовати" 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.

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.

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 "Едітовати" and "Едітовати жрідло" tabs into a single "Едітовати" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398, T58337) Initially, the "Едітовати" 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 Едітованя tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Режим редагування:".

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:
  • Пам'ятати мій останній редактор,
  • Завжди запускати візуальний редактор, коли це можливо,
  • Завжди відкривати редактор коду, and
  • Показувати обидві вкладки редагування. (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).

Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today

Будь ласка, допоможіть перекласти Вашою мовою

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

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. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you.

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 "Вставити" menu and click the "Список приміток" 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 "Вставити" in the dialog to insert the Список приміток. 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.

Recent changes

The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.

The single edit tab feature combines the "Едітовати" and "Едітовати жрідло" tabs into a single "Едітовати" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Едітованя" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.

Future changes

The "Уложыти сторінку" button will say "Зберегти сторінку". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.

The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966)

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

Let's work together

• Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.
• Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Watch the Tech Talk by Sebastian Karcher for more information.

Wikipedia to the Moon working phase

Dear Rusyn Wikipedia language community,

First of all, I am sorry to write this in English.

You may already have heard about Wikipedia to the Moon: A team of scientists called the “PT Scientists” are going to send a space craft to the moon in 2017 and they want to take Wikipedia along with them. Because Wikipedia is so big, we cannot send all of it to the moon. That is why the international Wikipedia-community has voted to send all “Featured Articles and Featured Lists“ from all languages in Wikipedia.

“Featured Articles“ is a category in many language versions of Wikipedia that collects the very best articles in that language. Your community does not currently have a „Featured Articles“ category. Ideally, we want to take every language on Wikipedia to the moon and we also want to take the best articles in your language. That is why we would like you to tell us what the very best articles in your language are.

There are two ways you could do this:

1) You could introduce the categories “Featured Article” and “Featured List” in your language version of Wikipedia and vote for the best articles and put them in the category. We will take every article that is tagged as a “Featured Article” or a “Featured List” to the moon

2) You could vote for the best articles in your language version of Wikipedia and put them all on one a new Wikipedia page. If you let us know where we can find that list here, we will also take the articles to the moon.

The deadline for Wikipedia to the Moon is 31 October 2016. After that date, we will put all the Featured Articles and Lists onto a special disc and give it to the “PT Scientists.” They will take the Wikipedia articles into space next year.

--Denis Schroeder (WMDE) (діскузія) 16:59, 17 авґуста 2016 (CEST)

Hi, this is a good step, Denis, Thank you. So, we can mark it in english language as a "Featured Lists" or "Featured Articles" as a Category ? In English ? Thank you for the excplanation. Laborec (діскузія) 16:25, 31 авґуста 2016 (CEST)

Did you know?

Did you know that you can easily re-arrange columns and rows in the visual editor?

Select a cell in the column or row that you want to move. Click the arrow at the start of that row or column to open the dropdown menu (shown). Choose either "Move before" or "Move after" to move the column, or "Move above" or "Move below" to move the row.

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 mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.

Recent changes

• You can now set text as small or big.[1]
• Invisible templates have been shown as a puzzle icon. Now, the name of the invisible template is displayed next to the puzzle icon.[2] A similar feature will display the first part of hidden HTML comments.[3]
• Categories are displayed at the bottom of each page. If you click on the categories, the dialog for editing categories will open.[4]
• At many wikis, you can now add maps to pages. Go to the Insert menu and choose the "Maps" item. The Discovery department is adding more features to this area, like geoshapes. You can read more at mediawiki.org.[5]
• The "Save" button now says "Save page" when you create a page, and "Save changes" when you change an existing page.[6] In the future, the "Уложыти сторінку" button will say "Зберегти сторінку". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
• Image galleries now use a visual mode for editing. You can see thumbnails of the images, add new files, remove unwanted images, rearrange the images by dragging and dropping, and add captions for each image. Use the "Options" tab to set the gallery's display mode, image sizes, and add a title for the gallery.[7]

Future changes

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic.

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools.

Did you know?

Did you know that you can review your changes visually?

When you are finished editing the page, type your edit summary and then choose "Перевірити свої зміни".

In visual mode, you will see additions, removals, new links, and formatting highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history. 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 spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes

• A new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures to enable the ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽.
• A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. [8]
• The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [9]
• You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. [10]
• The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. [11]
• The Категорії item has been moved to the top of the Параметри сторінки menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access. [12] There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. [13]
• You can now create <chem> tags (sometimes used as <ce>) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [14]
• Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [15]
• The Спеціальний символ menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt. [16]
• A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page. This has been fixed. The team are sorry for the disruption. [17]
• There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations: Control+Shift+K on a PC, or Command+Shift+K on a Mac. It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is Control+K or Command+K respectively. [18]

Future changes

• The team is working on a syntax highlighting tool. It will highlight matching pairs of <ref> tags and other types of wikitext syntax. You will be able to turn it on and off. It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017. [19]
• The kind of button used to Указати нагляд, Указати зміны, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors. The new buttons will use OOjs UI. The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read. The labels will remain the same. You can test the new button by editing a page and adding &ooui=1 to the end of the URL, like this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1 The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes. [20]
• The outdated 2006 wikitext editor will be removed later this year. It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors. See a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org if you are uncertain which one you use. [21]

New notification when a page is connected to Wikidata

Hello all,

(Будь ласка, допоможіть перекласти Вашою мовою)

The Wikidata development team is about to deploy a new feature on all Wikipedias. It is a new type of notification (via Echo, the notification system you see at the top right of your wiki when you are logged in), that will inform the creator of a page, when this page is connected to a Wikidata item.

You may know that Wikidata provides a centralized system for all the interwikilinks. When a new page is created, it should be connected to the corresponding Wikidata item, by modifying this Wikidata item. With this new notification, editors creating pages will be informed when another editor connects this page to Wikidata.

This feature will be deployed on May 30th on all the Wikipedias, excepting English, French and German. This feature will be disable by default for existing editors, and enabled by default for new editors.

This is the first step of the deployments, the Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects will follow in the next months.

If you have any question, suggestion, please let me know by pinging me. You can also follow and leave a comment on the Phabricator ticket.

Thanks go to Matěj Suchánek who developed this feature!

Дякуємо! Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk)

Wikidata changes now also appear in enhanced recent changes

Hello, and sorry to write this message in English. You can help translating it.

Starting from today, you will be able to display Wikidata changes in both modes of the recent changes and the watchlist.

Improved search in deleted pages archive

Будь ласка, допоможіть перекласти Вашою мовою

During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.

Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).

We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki. Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0 in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0

Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.

presenting the project Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory and asking for a vounteer in Rusyn Wikipedia

Hello everyone, My name is Marc Miquel and I am a researcher from Barcelona (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). While I was doing my PhD I studied whether an identity-based motivation could be important for editor participation and I analyzed content representing the editors' cultural context in 40 Wikipedia language editions. Few months later, I propose creating the Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory in order to raise awareness on Wikipedia’s current state of cultural diversity, providing datasets, visualizations and statistics, and pointing out solutions to improve intercultural coverage.

I am presenting this project to a grant and I expect that the site becomes a useful tool to help communities create more multicultural encyclopaedias and bridge the content culture gap that exists across language editions (one particular type of systemic bias). For instance, this would help spreading cultural content local to Rusyn Wikipedia into the rest of Wikipedia language editions, and viceversa, make Rusyn Wikipedia much more multicultural. Here is the link of the project proposal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikipedia_Cultural_Diversity_Observatory_(WCDO)

I am searching for a volunteer in each language community: I still need one for the Rusyn Wikipedia. If you feel like it, you can contact me at: marcmiquel *at* gmail.com I need a contact in your every community who can (1) check the quality of the cultural context article list I generate to be imported-exported to other language editions, (2) test the interface/data visualizations in their language, and (3) communicate the existance of the tool/site when ready to the language community and especially to those editors involved in projects which could use it or be aligned with it. Communicating it might not be a lot of work, but it will surely have a greater impact if done in native language! :). If you like the project, I'd ask you to endorse it in the page I provided. In any case, I will appreciate any feedback, comments,... Thanks in advance for your time! Best regards, --2.152.73.95 10:31, 11 октобра 2017 (CEST) Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona

Čo tak súťaž WikiJar 2018? Hľadáme hlavného organizátora

(prepáčte, že píšem po slovensky, verím, že vás tento nárh zaujme a aspoň ho zosumarizujete do rusínčiny pre komunitu)

Zdravím komunita! Pamätáte na súťaž WikiJar SVE, ktorú sme mali na slovenskej Wikipédii v 2015 a 2016? Vo Wikimedii SK ju radi podporíme aj tohto roku, akurát pre ňu zatiaľ nemáme organizátora. To je tak trochu problém, lebo bez novej posily tá súťaž nebude. Súťaž (medzinárodne) začína 21. marca, organizátora hľadáme do 28.2.2018.

Pýtaš sa, čo by si robil? Ako hlavný organizátor budeš zodpovedný za celkovú organizáciu súťaže. V praxi teda hlavne za vytvorenie a vedenie tímu ďalších dobrovoľníkov, ktorí vykonajú rôzne podúlohy. Do tímu odporúčame roly:

• porotcovia;
• technik (v prostredí Wikipédie / MediaWiki);
• informátor komunity;
• informátor verejnosti;
• pokladník;
• prípadne ďalšie.

Samozrejme, jeden človek môže zastávať viacero rolí a jedna rola môže byť prípadne rozdelená viacerým ľuďom. Záleží na tom aký tím si zostavíš. Pochopiteľne, ako skúsení aktivisti ti budeme stále k dispozícii na konzultácie a tiež pomôžeme prakticky.

Pred začiatkom súťaže sa s tebou, ako predsedníctvo Wikimedie SK, porozprávame o súťaži aby sme mali všetci jasnú a tú istú predstavu tak o súťaži samotnej ako aj o jej priebehu. Dohodneme hlavne ciele, zameranie, rozpočet a časový plán súťaže; tiež si vyjasníme prípadné nejasné časti. Pri plánovaní obzvlášť oceníme ochotu organizovať súťaž aj na slovenskej Wikipédii, skúsiť nové veci (napríklad súťaž na slovenských Wikicestách) a tvoje vlastné nápady!

Súťažou pomôžeš s rozšírením a skvalitnením rusínskej Wikipédie v oblasti, v ktorej má zatiaľ medzery. Vďaka tomu dáš celému Slovensku možnosť lepšie spoznať svojich geografických susedov (blízkych aj trochu vzdialenejších) a rozšíriť si svoje obzory o nové kultúry. Zároveň upozorníš verejnosť, že aj oni samotní môžu Wikipédiu upravovať – pre mnohých to rozhodne bude prekvapenie!

Pri organizovaní sa zlepšíš vo vedení malého tímu a v mnohých schopnostiach, ktoré na to budeš potrebovať, napr. vodcovstvo, motivácia, komunikácia, správa času a financií apod. Organizovanie takejto súťaže je pomerne jednoduchý spôsob ako vstúpiť do Wikimedie SK, kde sa staneš členom prijímajúcej komunity ľudí nadšených zo šírenia vzdelanosti a ktorej smerovanie budeš môcť aj ty sám ovplyvniť. Ako aktivistovi ti vieme zabezpečiť rôzne ďalšie vzdelávanie a školenia, hlavne na zahraničných stretnutiach s ostatnými wikimediánmi; predovšetkým ak o ne sám požiadaš. Ako aktivista ľahšie dostaneš štipendium na Wikimániu (tento rok je v Južnej Afrike). Po ukončení súťaže sa s tebou radi porozprávame aby si si lepšie uvedomil čo všetko si sa naučil. Na požiadanie ti vystavíme dobrovoľnícke potvrdenie.

Zaujala ťa naša ponuka? Napíš nám najlepšie hneď, najneskôr však do 28.2.2018 na info@wikimedia.sk alebo mne mailom a stručne uveď prečo chceš WikiJar organizovať práve ty! (prosím, ja na rusínsku wikipédiu chodím veľmi zriedka, takže mne sem nepíšte nič - to by som si to neprečítal tak skoro) Z Wikimedie SK súťaž radi podporíme ale treba hlavného hýbateľa a zabezpečovateľa, inak na súťaž môžme zabudnúť. --KuboF Hromoslav (діскузія) 19:37, 7 фебруара 2018 (CET)

Did you know?

Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?

Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.

If you enable the Beta Feature for "⧼visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-label⧽", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.

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 Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes

• The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
• The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges. [22]
• Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [23]
• The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up. Your wiki can have this service. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.

Let's work together

• The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
• Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
• The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [24]
• If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Дякуємо!

Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias

Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias

Будь ласка, допоможіть перекласти Вашою мовою

Mapframe is a feature that enables users to easily display interactive maps right on wiki pages. Currently, most Wikipedias don’t have mapframe. But fifteen Wikipedias, along with all the other Wikimedia projects, are using mapframe today to display maps on thousands of pages.

A little background: over the last few months, the Foundation’s Collaboration team has been working to improve the stability and user experience of the maps service. In addition, a question about long-term support for the maps service was recently settled, and a small team has been assigned for routine maintenance. Given these developments, bringing the benefits of mapframe to Wikipedias that lack the feature seems both safe and supportable. Nine Wikipedias that use a stricter version of Flagged Revisions will not get mapframe in this release.

Maps are a valuable form of visual data that can improve readers’ understanding across a wide range of topics. If you know of any reasons why mapframe shouldn’t be implemented on your Wikipedia, let us know on the project talk page. Unless we hear from you, we plan to release mapframe to most Wikipedias in May, 2018. So, if you foresee an issue, please let us hear from you. Otherwise, happy mapping!

Update on page issues on mobile web

Update on page issues on mobile web

Будь ласка, допоможіть перекласти Вашою мовою Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.

So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:

• The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
• Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
• Readers care about page issues and consider them important
• Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues

Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

Enabling a helpful feature for Template editors

Hello.

The team working on TemplateStyles at the Wikimedia Foundation would like to enable TemplateStyles on this wiki.

TemplateStyles is a feature to allow non-administrators to write and manage CSS styles for templates. It allows contributors who edit templates to separate content and presentation. A good web practice that makes it easier to manage the layout of templates. If you don't edit templates, this will not have any impact on your contributions.

TemplateStyles is useful for a few reasons.

• It makes it possible for templates to work better on mobile.
• It cuts out confusion on where to apply CSS rules.
• Editing CSS is currently limited to administrators, which is a major barrier to participation.
• All stylesheets must be loaded on all pages (whether they actually use the page or not), which wastes bandwidth and makes debugging style rules more difficult.

You can learn more about TemplateStyles on MediaWiki.org. Technical documentation is also available.

This is an optional feature and no one must use it, but template contributors are encouraged to do so! Please discuss and let us know if there are any concerns. If there are no concerns we will proceed to deploy the feature on the 9th of August.

Thank you.

Wikidata Bridge: edit Wikidata’s data from Wikipedia infoboxes

Sorry for writing this message in English - feel free to help us translating it :)

Hello all,

Many language versions of Wikipedia use the content of Wikidata, the centralized knowledge base, to fill out the content of infoboxes. The data is stored in Wikidata and displayed, partially or completely, in the Wikipedia’s language, on the articles. This feature is used by many template editors, but brought several issues that were raised by communities in various places: not being able to edit the data directly from Wikipedia was one of them.

This is the reason why the Wikidata Bridge project started, with the goal of offering a way to Wikipedia editors to edit Wikidata’s data more easily. This will be achieved by an interface, connected to the infobox, that users can access directly from their local wiki.

The project is now at an early stage of development. A lot of user research has been done, and will continue to be done through the different phases of the project. The next steps of development will be achieved by the development team working at Wikimedia Deutschland, starting now until the end of 2019.

In order to make sure that we’re building a tool that is answering editors’ needs, we’re using agile methods in our development process. We don’t start with a fixed idea of the tool we want to deliver: we will build it together with the editors, based on feedback loops that we will regularly organize. The first version will not necessarily have all of the features you want, but it will keep evolving.

Here’s the planned timeline:

• From June to August, we will build the setup and technical groundwork.
• From September to November 2019, we will develop the first version of the feature and publish a test system so you can try it and give feedback.
• Later on, we will test the feature on a few projects, in collaboration with the communities.
  • We will first focus on early adopters communities who already implemented a shortcut from their infoboxes to edit Wikidata (for example Russian, Catalan, Basque Wikipedias)
  • but we also welcome also communities who volunteer to be part of the first test round.
  • Then we will reach some of the big Wikipedias (French, German, English) in order to see if the project scales and to address their potentially different needs.
  • Even later, we can consider enabling the feature on all the other projects.

In any case, no deployment or big change will be enforced on the projects without talking to the communities first, and helping the template builders to prepare for the changes they will have to do on the infoboxes’ code.

If you want to get involved, there are several ways to help:

• Read and help translating the documentation pages
• Follow the updates and participate in the first feedback loop
• Talk about it with your local community

More ideas will be added on this page along the way

If you have any questions for the development team, feel free to ask them on the main talk page. You can also ask under this message, but if you expect an answer from me, please make sure to ping me.

Thanks for your attention, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 15:03, 24 юнія 2019 (CEST)

Welcome back to the Editing newsletter.

Since the last newsletter, the team has released two new features for the mobile visual editor and has started developing three more. All of this work is part of the team's goal to make editing on mobile web simpler.

Before talking about the team's recent releases, we have a question for you:

Are you willing to try a new way to add and change links?

If you are interested, we would value your input! You can try this new link tool in the mobile visual editor on a separate wiki.

Follow these instructions and share your experience:

📲 Try Edit Cards.

Recent releases

The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the mobile site. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:

1. Section editing
   • The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
   • The team studied this with an A/B test. This test showed that contributors who could use section editing were 1% more likely to publish the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
2. Loading overlay
   • The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.

Section editing and the new loading overlay are now available to everyone using the mobile visual editor.

New and active projects

This is a list of our most active projects. Watch these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.

• Edit cards: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles. You can try this feature now. Go here to see how: 📲 Try Edit Cards.
• Mobile toolbar refresh: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
• Mobile visual editor availability: This A/B test asks: Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor? We are collaborating with 20 Wikipedias to answer this question.
• Usability improvements: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use. The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.

Looking ahead

• Wikimania: Several members of the Editing Team will be attending Wikimania in August 2019. They will lead a session about mobile editing in the Community Growth space. Talk to the team about how editing can be improved.
• Talk Pages: In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin improving talk pages and communication on the wikis.

Learning more

The VisualEditor on mobile is a good place to learn more about the projects we are working on. The team wants to talk with you about anything related to editing. If you have something to say or ask, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.

Help

What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team wants your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

Talk pages project

The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

Mobile visual editor

The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Edit Cards

What happens when you click on a link. The new Edit Card is bigger and has more options for editing links.

• On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
• There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links. There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.
• Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.

Toolbar

The editing toolbar is changing in the mobile visual editor. The old system had two different toolbars. Now, all the buttons are together. Tell the team what you think about the new toolbar.

• In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
  • One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
  • New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
  • Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
• Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.

Wikimania

The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

Looking ahead

• Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
• Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
• Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The Editing team hopes to share results in November. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.

The Editing team has been working on the talk pages project. The goal of the talk pages project is to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily. This project is the result of the Talk pages consultation 2019.

In a future update, the team plans to test a tool for easily linking to another user's name, a rich-text editing option, and other tools.

The team is building a new tool for replying to comments now. This early version can sign and indent comments automatically. Please test the new Reply tool.

• On 31 March 2020, the new одповісти tool was offered as a Beta Feature editors at four Wikipedias: Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian. If your community also wants early access to the new tool, contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF).
• The team is planning some upcoming changes. Please review the proposed design and share your thoughts on the talk page. The team will test features such as:
  • an easy way to mention another editor ("pinging"),
  • a rich-text visual editing option, and
  • other features identified through user testing or recommended by editors.

The new features include a toolbar. What do you think should be in the toolbar?

This issue of the Editing newsletter includes information the Talk pages project, an effort to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily.

• Reply tool: This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias). The Beta Feature is called "Інструменти обговорення". The Beta Feature will get new features soon. The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing @. You can test the new features on the Beta Cluster now. Some other wikis will have a chance to try the Beta Feature in the coming months.
• New requirements for user signatures: Soon, users will not be able to save invalid custom signatures in Special:Preferences. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable. Most editors will not be affected.
• New discussion tool: The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions. You can see the initial design on the project page.
• Research on the use of talk pages: The Editing team worked with the Wikimedia research team to study how talk pages help editors improve articles. We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

Роль Rollbackers (Бадателї) - дискусія и голосованя

Быв бы нам дуже на хосен функціонал rollback, котрый дає вернути всі послідні правкы на статі нараз єдным кліком. Сам го маю як адміністратор и можу порекомендовати, вандалізм ищезат дослова за секунду — айбо хыбит возмога дати сякі права иншым активным хоснователям (теперь такый є лем єден, Igor Kercsa). Обы йсе попросити, треба раз проголосовати. Ай так нам годні нич не дати, бо малі сьме, айбо раз мож попровбовати. Докідь лиш я маю сесь інструмент, можете лишати вандалізм на мене, я туй прихожу денно. Engelseziekte (діскузія) 21:39, 22 септембра 2020 (CEST)
