Крытэры для абдору ўдзельнікаў на замежныя падзеі[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Прывітаньне,

Тут вымалявался добрая сітуацыя. 3 вікі-ўдзельніка жадае паехаць на Сустрэчу Вікімедыі Усходняй і Цэнтральнай Еўропы. Мейсцаў толькі 2. Трэба выбраць.

Я напісаў базавыя крытэрыі, якія на мой погляд аснова. Для таго, каб можна было прымаць рашэньне, але магчыма іх недастаткова. Таму прашу выказацца супольнасць і саміх кандыдатаў KarlKori Ihar Dorinel DobryBrat

Часу зусім няшмат, бо арганізатары чакаюць з нецярпеннем.

Прапанова дадатковых крытэраў[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

  • Калі ўдзельнік/ца прадстаўляе на Сустрэчах Вікімэдыі адразу два беларускія разьдзелы, ён/яна павінен/на станоўча (прынамсі, талерантна) ставіцца да абодвух разьдзелаў. Удзельнік/ца які/якая заўважаны/а ў нянавісьці да калегаў (кшталту «забараніць разьдзел іншым правапісам», «іншы правапіс не чытальны/нікому не патрэбны» і да т.п.) прадстаўляць суполку на Сустрэчах Вікімэдыі ня можа.--Lesnas ättling (гутаркі) 11:03, 19 ліпеня 2017 (MSK)
Lesnas ättling, слушная прапанова. Уставіў яе ў правілы, паглядзіце. Калі ласка можаце правіць наўпрост, калі што лічыце патрэбным. --Mr. Zabej (гутаркі) 14:37, 19 ліпеня 2017 (MSK)

Зьнікненьне кароткага зьместу ў асобных артыкулах[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Заўважыў, што на многіх старонках зьнікла адлюстраваньне зьместу. Напрыклад, Касьцёл Сьвятога Міхала Арханёла і кляштар бэрнардынаў (Пінск), Валеўка, Дзяляцічы, Касьцёл Найсьвяцейшай Тройцы (Ішкальдзь) і г.д. Зьмест артыкулаў зьяўляецца адразу па праўцы (нават пустой), аднак праходзіць так усе артыкулы ня надта зручна. Пагатоў, не зразумела паводле якога прынцыпу адбылося тое зьнікненьне. Магчыма, хтосьці ведае, у чым прычыны і як гэта цэнтралізавана выправіць. --Казімер Ляхновіч (гутаркі) 22:01, 9 чэрвеня 2017 (+03)

У сябе ня сутыкаўся з такой праблемай, але, магчыма, можа дапамагчы ачыстка кэшу браўзэру. --Red_Winged_Duck 14:18, 10 чэрвеня 2017 (+03)
На жаль, не дапамагло. Кароткі зьмест (сьпіс разьдзелаў і падразьдзелаў у невялікім акенцы зьлева, пад прэамбулай) не адлюстроўваецца на ПК у Chrome, FireFox і IE, на тэлефоне ў Chrome таксама не адлюстроўваецца (апроч артыкула Дзяляцічы, дзе ён зьявіўся ўва ўсіх браўзэрах). Але калі ў астатніх усё нармальна, то ня буду пераймацца. --Казімер Ляхновіч (гутаркі) 23:12, 10 чэрвеня 2017 (MSK)
Цяпер бачу ў чым праблема, і сапраўды магу пацьвердзіць, што яна існуе і выпраўляецца пустой праўкай. Пакуль таксама не магу сказаць у чым прычына, магчыма, з штотыднёвым абнаўленьнем рухавіка нешта зламалася. Але звычайна такога кшталту праблемы самі праходзяць, мо нейкія праблемы ўжо з кэшам самога рухавіка, а ня браўзэру. --Red_Winged_Duck 23:23, 10 чэрвеня 2017 (MSK)
Дарэчы, у тых жа Дзяляцічах кароткі зьвест вярнуўся сам, без пустой праўкі. Мабыць, сапраўды, штосьці з кэшам рухавіка і ўсё хутка мае вярнуцца. --Казімер Ляхновіч (гутаркі) 23:47, 10 чэрвеня 2017 (+03)
Штосьці ўжо месяц мінуў, а праблема засталася. Пагатоў, у іншых разьдзелах, здаецца, не сустракаў нічога падобнага. Можа, хто ведае, куды можна зьвярнуцца па дапамогу? --Казімер Ляхновіч (гутаркі) 00:43, 8 ліпеня 2017 (MSK)
Праграмісты ўжо ўзяліся за праблему. --Red_Winged_Duck 13:26, 18 ліпеня 2017 (MSK)

Запрашэнне на Вікі-Летнік 2017[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Вікі-Летнік 2017

Вікі-летніку - быць!

З 11 па 17 ліпеня мы спрабуем сабраць разам як актыўных вікі-рэдактараў беларускай супольнасці, так і навічкоў, якія толькі робяць першыя праўкі. Каб абменьвацца досведам, знаеміцца, планаваць разам - як развіваць беларускую вікі-супольнасць. Гэты Летнік - можа стаць традыцыяй штогадовай сустрэчы вікіпедыстаў. Вядома, што ўдзел не абавязковы, і можна рэдагаваць Вікіпедыю ўдалена, але досвед розных краінаў (Польшча, Арменія, Украіна, Германія...) паказвае, што калі людзі збіраюцца разам, самаарганізуюцца, працуюць не толькі онлайн але і офлайн - супольнасць Вікіпедыі становіцца мацней і прадуктыўней.

Уся актыўнасць залежыць ад нас, ну, як звычайна ўсе, што ў Вікіпедыі :) Таму, далучайцеся да дзвіжухі, запаўняйце анкету ўдзельніка. Прапаноўвайце вашы тэмы на даклад ці майстар-клас (тут не трэба быць мега-экспертам, дастаткова проста жадаць падзяліцца тым, што вы ўжо ведаеце і робіце ў Вікіпедыі).

Падрабяйзей апісанне Летніка тут. Па любых пытаннях пішыце на пошту falanster.by@gmail.com, ці мне.

Калі ласка, прапаноўвайце паўдзельнічаць у Летніку тым, каму гэта можа быць цікава.

Гэта тычыцца кожнага актыўнага вікірэдактара і вікі-актывіста.

29 сакавіка, 19:00 абмяркоўваем стратэгію вікі-руху да 2030 году. Па-першае, гэта будзе наш унёсак у сусветны рух; па-другое, вызначэнне прыярытэтаў для мясцовай вікі-супольнасці.

Вельмі важна, каб мы таксама паўдзельнічалі ў гэтай падзеі. Перад наведваннем, калі ласка азнаёмцеся са спасылкамі, яны дапамогуць зрабіць размову плённай.

Вікі-летнік 2017. Заяўка на грант[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Вітаю, вікі-рэдактараў і актывістаў. Тут ваўсю пішам заяўку на грант для Вікі-летніка 2017.

Зараз ужо патрэбна вычытка, і калі у вас есць - дапаўненні. (Праўце адразу на мета, ці пішыце у каментарах пытанні, заўвагі). Калі вы з ангельскай не вельмі - глядзіце прэзентацыю (заяўка напісана па ей і канспекту з апошняй сустрэчы).

Заўвагі прымаюцца на працягу пятніцы і суботы.

Запрашаю вікі-рэдактараў падтрымаць справу - пазначыць свой нік (і абгрунтаванне) тут (пад надпісам Endorsements).

Усе, хто жадае прыняць удзел, як у падрыхтоўцы, так і потым у самім летніку - пішыце :) Летнік можа стаць першым злетам супольнасці са ўсей Беларусі, і абменам досведам. --Svetit (гутаркі) 23:51, 23 лютага 2017 (+03)

Вікі-летнік 2017. Сустрэча па падрыхтоўцы. Хто зацікаўлены?![рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Раблю тут рэпост паведамлення ад Удзельнік:Mr. Zabej:

"Паважаны, вікі-актывіст,

На мой погляд зараз у вікі супольнасць Беларусі папаўняецца новымі людзьмі. Для таго каб умацаваць сувязі паміж новымі удзельнікамі і адмыслоўцамі варта сустрэцца ў рэале. Такой сустрэчай можа быць Вікілетнік.

Папярэдні пост з апытаннем, паказаў жывы інтарэс супольнасці да тэмы Вікілетніка 2017, але для пачатку падрыхтоўкі важна, каб мы сустрэліся і абмеркавалі ў рэале сумневы і пажаданні. Таму...

Запрашаю на вікі сустрэчу ў аўторак (21 лютага) вечарам, 19:00 пачынаем.

Асноўная тэма прэзентацыя ідэі "Вікілетніка". Я зраблю паўэр-поінт прэзентацыю, дзе апішу ідэю, прадстаўлю, што ўжо зроблена і адкажу на пытанні, наогул можна абмеркаваць усе рызыкі і хваляванні.

Задача сустрэчы: зацікавіць супольнасць і сабраць максімальна баяздольную каманду для падрыхтоўкі і правядзення. Насамрэч не так шмат трэба.

Чаму важна ўдзельнічаць на сустрэчы?

1. Разам вырашаем ці ладзім Вікі-летнік наогул у гэтым годзе? А час зручны таму, што ёсць шмат разагрэтых мясцовых супольнасцяў (навічкоў), іх цікавасць, пачынаецца вікі-клуб, конкурс Віківясна закручваецца. Гэта вельмі зручны момант для наступнага кроку ў развіцці супольнасці. Не факт, што ў наступным годзе можна будзе такую цікавасць сабраць без звышнамаганняў, таму час дзейнічаць.

2. Таксама без удзелу вікі-супольнасці, гэту задачу будзе складана асіліць. Неаходна дапамога не толькі ў складаных задачах, але і ў простых анлайн і афлайн задачах. Калі кожны возьме хаця б кавалачак, справа будзе зроблена разам, талакой.

3. Наогул, на мой погляд, Вікілетнік - мае сэнс, таму што можа стаць мерапрыемствам, дзе супольнасць аб'яднаецца ў рэале сумеснай справай і стане мацней.

Дата і дзень: аўторак, 21 лютага.
Пачатак 19:00

Калі не маеце ФБ, проста напішыце тут у каментах ваша стаўленне або ваш удзел у мерапрыемстве. Буду удзячны.

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.

This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.

The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.

Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:

More information about the movement strategy is available on the Meta-Wiki 2017 Wikimedia movement strategy portal.

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:

Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.

There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:

Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).

Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.

This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?

We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.

Sincerely,

Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams

Start of the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message. This message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

Wikimedia-logo black.svg

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.

The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found on Meta-Wiki. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates.

The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC).

We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki.

Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.

The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.

The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.

  • April 7 (00:00 UTC) – April 20 (23:59 UTC) – Board nominations
  • April 7 – April 20 – Board candidates questions submission period
  • April 21 – April 30 – Board candidates answer questions
  • May 1 – May 14 – Board voting period
  • May 15–19 – Board vote checking
  • May 20 – Board result announcement goal

In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:

  • Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
    • There are five positions being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.
  • Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
    • One position is being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.

More information on this year's elections can be found on Meta-Wiki. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the election talk page on Meta-Wiki, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections(at)wikimedia.org.

On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee
Joe Sutherland, Community Advocate, Wikimedia Foundation

Read-only mode for 20 to 30 minutes on 19 April and 3 May[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Read this message in another language • Калі ласка, дапамажыце перакласьці на вашую мову

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

They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 19 April 2017. On Wednesday, 3 May 2017, they will switch back to the primary data center.

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

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

  • You will not be able to edit for approximately 20 to 30 minutes on Wednesday, 19 April and Wednesday, 3 May. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 20 April and Thursday 4 May).
  • If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

  • Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
  • There will be code freezes for the weeks of 17 April 2017 and 1 May 2017. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

Wikidata description editing in the Wikipedia Android app[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Wikidata description editing is a new experiment being rolled out on the Wikipedia app for Android. While this primarily impacts Wikidata, the changes are also addressing a concern about the mobile versions of Wikipedia, so that mobile users will be able to edit directly the descriptions shown under the title of the page and in the search results.

We began by rolling out this feature several weeks ago to a pilot group of Wikipedias (Russian, Hebrew, and Catalan), and have seen very positive results including numerous quality contributions in the form of new and updated descriptions, and a low rate of vandalism.

We are now ready for the next phase of rolling out this feature, which is to enable it in a few days for all Wikipedias except the top ten by usage within the app (i.e. except English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Turkish, and Chinese). We will enable the feature for those languages instead at some point in the future, as we closely monitor user engagement with our expanded set of pilot communities. As always, if have any concerns, please reach out to us on wiki at the talk page for this project or by email at reading@wikimedia.org. Thanks!

Hello,

The Reading web team at the Wikimedia Foundation has been working to enable Page previews, a beta feature known previously as Hovercards, as opt-in behavior for logged-in users and the default behavior for logged-out users across Wikipedia projects. Page previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. For this project, we are expecting to collect feedback over the following few weeks and tentatively enable the feature in early May, 2017.

A quick note on the implementation:

  • For logged-in users who are not currently testing out the beta feature, Page previews will be off by default. Users may turn them on from their user preferences page.
  • For logged-out users, the feature will be on by default. Users may disable it at any time by selecting the setting cog available in each preview.
  • For users of the Navigation popups gadget, you will not be able to turn on the Page previews feature while using navigational popups. If you would like to try out the Page preview feature, make sure to first turn Navigation popups off prior to turning Page previews on.

You can read more about the feature and the tests we used to evaluate performance, try it out by enabling it from the beta features page, and leave feedback or questions on the talk page.

Thank you, MediaWiki message delivery (гутаркі) 19:52, 19 красавіка 2017 (+03)

Beta Feature Two Column Edit Conflict View[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

From May 9, the Two Column Edit Conflict View will be available as a beta feature on all wikis. The Two Column Edit Conflict View is a new interface for the edit conflict resolution page. It highlights differences between the editor's and the conflicting changes to make it easy to copy and paste pieces of the text and resolve the conflict. The feature fulfils a request for a more user-friendly edit conflict resolution from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well!

Did you know?

Did you know that you can review your changes visually?

Screenshot showing some changes to an article. Most changes are highlighted with text formatting.
When you are finished editing the page, type your edit summary and then choose "Праверыць зьмены".

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.


Toggle button showing visual and wikitext options; visual option is selected.


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


Screenshot showing the same changes, in the two-column wikitext diff display.


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[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

  • 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 New wikitext mode.
  • 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. [1]
  • 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. [2]
  • 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. [3]
  • 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. [4]
  • The Катэгорыі item has been moved to the top of the Налады старонкі menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access. [5] There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. [6]
  • You can now create <chem> tags (sometimes used as <ce>) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [7]
  • Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [8]
  • The Спэцыяльны сымбаль menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt. [9]
  • 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. [10]
  • 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. [11]

Future changes[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

  • 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. [12]
  • The kind of button used to Праглядзець, Паказаць зьмены, 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. [13]
  • 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. [14]
  • 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, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Дзякуй!

Prototype for editing Wikidata infoboxes on Wikipedia[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Hello,

I’m sorry for writing in English. It’d be great if someone could translate this message if necessary.

One of the most requested features for Wikidata is to enable editing of Wikidata’s data directly from Wikipedia, so the editors can continue their workflow without switching websites.

The Wikidata development team has been working on a tool to achieve this goal: fill and edit the Wikipedia infoboxes with information from Wikidata, directly on Wikipedia, via the Visual Editor.

We already asked for feedback in 2015, and collected some interesting ideas which we shared with you in this thesis. Now we would like to present to you our first prototype and collect your feedback, in order to improve and continue the development of this feature.

We present this work to you very early, so we can include your feedback before and all along the development. You are the core users of this feature, so we want to make sure that it fits your needs and editing processes.

You will find the prototype, description of the features, and a demo video, on this page. Feel free to add any comment or feedback on the talk page. The page is currently not translated in every languages, but you can add your contribution by helping to translate it.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to follow all the discussions on Wikipedia, so if you want to be sure that your feedback is read, please add it on the Wikidata page, in your favorite language. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks, Lea Lacroix (WMDE)

RevisionSlider[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

RevisionSlider will be available as a default feature for all users on all wikis from May 17. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page so that you can easily move between revisions. The slider view is collapsed by default, and will load by clicking on it. It can also be turned off entirely in the user preferences. RevisionSlider has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia for 6 months and a beta feature on all wikis for 8 months. The feature fulfills a wish from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Thanks to everyone who tested RevisionSlider and gave valuable feedback to improve the feature! We hope that RevisionSlider will continue to serve you well in your work.

Join the next cycle of Wikimedia movement strategy discussions (underway until June 12)[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki
Wikimedia-logo.svg

The Wikimedia movement strategy core team and working groups have completed reviewing the more than 1800 thematic statements we received from the first discussion. They have identified 5 themes that were consistent across all the conversations - each with their own set of sub-themes. These are not the final themes, just an initial working draft of the core concepts.

You are invited to join the online and offline discussions taking place on these 5 themes. This round of discussions will take place between now and June 12th. You can discuss as many as you like; we ask you to participate in the ones that are most (or least) important to you.

Here are the five themes, each has a page on Meta-Wiki with more information about the theme and how to participate in that theme's discussion:

On the movement strategy portal on Meta-Wiki, you can find more information about each of these themes, their discussions, and how to participate.

Accessible editing buttons[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

The MediaWiki developers have been slowly improving the accessibility of the user interface. The next step in this transition will change the appearance of some buttons and may break some outdated (non-updated or unmaintained) user scripts and gadgets.

You can see and use the old and new versions now. Most editors will only notice that some buttons are slightly larger and have different colors.

  • Comparison of old and new styles

  • Buttons before the change

  • Buttons after the change

However, this change also affects some user scripts and gadgets. Unfortunately, some of them may not work well in the new system. If you maintain any user scripts or gadgets that are used for editing, please see mw:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons for information on how to test and fix your scripts. Outdated scripts can be tested and fixed now.

This change will probably reach this wiki on Tuesday, 18 July 2017. Please leave a note at mw:Talk:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons if you need help.

Page Previews (Hovercards) update[рэдагаваць крыніцу]

Hello,

A quick update on the progress of enabling Page Previews (previously named Hovercards) on this project. Page Previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. As mentioned in December we're preparing to remove the feature from Beta and make it the default behavior for logged-out users. We have recently made a large update to the code which fixes most outstanding bugs.

Due to some issues with our instrumentation, we delayed our deployment by a few months. We are finally ready to deploy the feature. Page Previews will be off by default and available in the user preferences page for logged-in users the week of July 24th. The feature will be on by default for current beta users and logged-out users. If you would like to preview the feature, you can enable it as a beta feature. For more information see Page Previews. Questions can be left on the talk page in your preferred language.

Thank you again.
