15.000 articlos y estatisticas

A Biquipedia en aragonés plega á lo suyo articlo numero 15.000, con l'articlo Sulebazión de Chaca. Fa nomás cuatre días que zelebrabamos l'articlo 10.000, y tenemos ya 15.000. Antiparte, luego d'esbiellar-se as estatisticas dica mayo se put beyer un aument d'o numero d'articlos muit important, á más d'atras milloras. Fer 24 articlos cada día en o mes de mayo, y sin emplegar bots, ye una fita muit destacata, encara que no ye menos esdebenir a 43ª wikipedia en o ranking d'articlos de más de 0,5 Kb u a 48ª en a meya de bits per articlo. Cal dezir asinas que l'aumento ye no nomás en cantidat sino que tamién ye en calidat. Cal felizitar á toz, y enta os 25.000!!!!!... --Manuel Trujillo Berges 22:59 8 chun 2009 (UTC)

Lástima no haber estado presente en el momento-15.000. Creo que conozco a una familia descendiente de un militar sublevado en Jaca, tienen de apellido Cirac y viven en Nonaspe.--EBRO 08:31 9 chun 2009 (UTC)

Municipios de Cataluña, País Vasco y Castilla la Vieja

Con toda la provincia de Tarragona hecha y partes importantes de las otras dos, pronto llegaremos a tener toda la Cataluña sur, con lo que tendremos hecha ya toda la vertiente sur de los Pirineos y toda la mitat este del Valle del Ebro. Por el oeste estamos también acabando los municipios de Burgos y Cuenca, y creo que con esto acabamos el Sistema Ibérico. Con Álava, Burgos y el Sur de Cantabria creo que acabamos el Valle del Ebro por el oeste. Esto da una mejor pespectiva para tocar temas de geografía física, medio natural y medio ambiente, y también para tratar temas de diversidad lingüística o toponimia.--EBRO 10:46 20 chun 2009 (UTC)

Ya tenemos completa la provincia de Lérida. Cuando alguien haga los municipios de la Alta Cerdanya tendremos ya completo todo el este de la Cuenca de l'Ebro.--EBRO 14:01 24 chun 2009 (UTC)

Ya tenemos completa la provincia de Cuenca, con lo que tenemos ya completas todas las provincias que limitan con Aragón, (salvo unos pueblos de Guadalajara que se dejó el Bot y que completaré en el momento de repasar las comarcas de Guadalajara con más información en otras wikis). Estaría bien ahora que tuviéramos completos los municipios de las comunas departamentos franceses que limitan con la provincia de Huesca, (creo que nos faltan los de la zona de Luchón, que limitan con la Ribagorza y la Bal d'Arán). En una siguiente fase más adelante podríamos acabar los municipios del País Vasco, Cantabria (completando el Valle del Ebro), Albacete (completando la Cuenca del Júcar), Alicante (completando la Comunidad Valenciana) y Cataluña.--EBRO 09:51 7 chul 2009 (UTC)

L'Alta Garona s'está fendo. Guipuzcua ye muit abanzato. Burgos, cuasi rematato. Cataluña se ba fendo. Manca repasar bellas probinzias (Guadalachara, Soria, País Balenzián, Murzia...) y prenzipar con Bizcaya, Alaba, etc. De Castiella, continar con Segobia, Palenzia, etc, y d'Andaluzía, Almería y Granada. De Franzia, continar Oczitania y prenzipar Bretaña. Tamién quereba prenzipiar Sezilia. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 10:50 7 chul 2009 (UTC)

ENHORABUENA

Haciendo pais... [2]

--RIVIERE 10:22 4 ago 2009 (UTC)

Sí, ye dezir que l'aragonés esiste encara que no lo protecherán pas. Asco de país que dixa morir a suya luenga, a suya istoria y a suya cultura, u millor asco de politicos que lo fan por cuatre duros que s'emportan, menos encara que Chudas. L'aragonés ha d'estar luenga ofizial en tot Aragón, protechita y dignificata, á más de que calga ta ocupar plazas de funzionario en o seutor publico, como o catalán, o basco u o gallego u como atras "luengas normals". Asinas se puet beyer a reyalidat d'una luenga biba. Sin d'embargo, bi ha muitos que quieren una luenga amortata, que se pueda hablar en la intimidad como deziban, pero que no s'emplegue pas en os plans d'estudeyos, ni primarios, ni secundarios ni unibersitarios, que no se'n troben libros en aragonés y que no s'emplegue en os parques infantils por os nins, que han de charrar a luenga de l'imperio y albandonar a suya luenga... Ye dezir, una luenga sin denguna utilidat, reduzita á un museu folclorico. Lo siento, Riviere, pero es que ixe procheuto de mini-estatutet lingüistico folclorico que no moleste pas á los de Madrit me saca d'as mías casiellas... Y l'aragonés no ye pas ixo que pretenen ista chent que siga, sino que l'aragonés ye una luenga muit biba, pesi á qui pesi. A prebatina más clara se troba en ista Biquipedia, á on se puet emplegar y s'emplega ta charrar de zenzia, d'arte, d'istoria, de politica, de fútbol u de zinema, como cualsiquier belatra luenga. Ixo lis fa muito mal, á qui quiere beyer muerta a nuestra luenga, asinas que á continar treballando, mozés, por l'aragonés que atros quieren amortar y que ye bien bibo. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 10:53 4 ago 2009 (UTC)

Istas cosas no pasan en atro país más que en Aragón, porque d'atras cosas mos podemos quexar, pero isto ye competenzia d'a D.Ch.A. e no pas d'o Estato (en atros puestos d'o Estato sí que tienen as suyas luengas como ofizials)... pero á los nuestros politicos lis bufa muito a pocha que aiga chent que charremos atras luengas (encara que o mesmo president d'Aragón e muitos consellers tampoco tiengan como luenga materna o castellán)... s'abergoñan d'o nuestro patrimonio cultural! Ista lei (si s'apreba) ye un trango muit chicorron enta la ofizialidat, pero no cal aturar-se aquí, ... porque ye prou ta os politicos, pero ta nusatros no ye cosa, no reconoxe os nuestros dreitos e continamos estando ziudadans de segunda clase... cal continar luitando, charrando e escribindo dica que a luenga sía ofizial... catalán e aragonés ofizials en TOT Aragón! --Willtron (?) 13:19 4 ago 2009 (UTC)

A mi no me digas que lo sientes,Manuel,que lo comprendo perfectamente.He puesto el enlace porque me he quedado de piedra pómez cuando he leído la noticia.Yo creo que esto es un gesto inaudito a nivel mundial,un pais,(o región,o C.Autónoma,o como se le quiera llamar),que en vez de proteger su patrimonio lingüístico lo reduce,como bien dices,a mero folclorismo.A partir de aquí,ya podemos ir a proteger a las tribus perdidas de la Amazonia para que no pierdan su cultura,que la nuestra,ya está a salvo. La noticia también ha tenido repercusiones en Cataluña,pues presenta a los habitantes de la Franja,como "colonizados" por una lengua extranjera,que no es tal.En la Litera,un "arbre" es un "arbel",y un "metge",un "dotó" y no hay más que discutir,es su habla,tan respetable como otra. A ver cómo le explicamos a un niño nacido en la Franja,que su lengua materna no pinta una mie... en ningún lado,porque la oficial es otra,(que debe conocer),pero que no es la que oye en su casa,ni la que habla con sus amigos,ni la que usan los suyos y los de su pueblo.Vamos,esto es el absurdo a la enésima potencia.Pais... --RIVIERE 14:06 4 ago 2009 (UTC)

O promeyo de bits por articlo ye de 3.155 (3.114 en agosto) y somos a 8ª wiki en crezimiento (8ª en agosto). Ye una linia de contina millora. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 15:36 17 set 2009 (UTC) Mancaba adibir que superamos a muga d'os 10 puntos, fita important. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 15:38 17 set 2009 (UTC)

Este berano faziemos una reunión clandestina Willtron e yo pa repartir-mos beluns d'estos articlos, parlemos que prebaremos de tener-los toz en una añata, a poder estar como articlos luengos, por ixo traduzié l'articlo d'o Zen e d'atros més "esoticos" pa l'aragonés. En o futuro cuan sigan rematatos toz mos lebará a resolber dudas terminolochicas. Me cuacó trobar a traduzión esacta d'os lipis d'Aśoka, e beyer que mos manca l'articlo peirón en aragonés. Con tot i con ixo encara que puyando de categoría mos ganó una biquipedia filipina, que no ha feito guaires articlos luengos d'ixa lista de 1000.--EBRO 09:35 18 set 2009 (UTC)

Ista tarde-nueit, de 20:00 a 22:00, Willtron, CHV e yo mesmo faremos una charrada sobre biquipedia en Nogará, adintro d'un seminario sobre l'aragonés. Seguntes os portátils que traigan, se podrá fer más partizipatibo... y miraremos que a chent creye cuentas y faiga bel articlo. Si no, lo faremos nusatros... Estaz á l'atisfa...--Juan Pablo 14:37 30 set 2009 (UTC)

17.000 articlos

No m'he dato cuenta que yera escribindo l'articlo 17.000 cuan escribiba o esbozo sobre una letra arabe....¿ se puet borrar e lo escrimos dimpués ?. Ye millor que l'articlo 17.000 siga sobre un tema de glamour aragonés.--EBRO 15:39 1 otu 2009 (UTC)

No cal, Ebro. Bi ha muitos "articlos istoricos", masiaus ya... Ya dizié que yera millor dixar-los á 2.500 dende o 15.000. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 15:51 1 otu 2009 (UTC)

Rai... millor podemos parar uno bueno ta os 20.000 que ye una fita más siñalera no? Agora ya cada 1.000 articlos los femos prou rapedo --Willtron (?) 19:17 1 otu 2009 (UTC)

Cuan beyé que Will feba articlos de mancomunidaz, pensé que yera ta plegar dica os 17.000 y dixé de fer. Sin d'embargo, l'articlo que teneba preparato lo faré ta os 19.000 u ta os 20.000... --Manuel Trujillo Berges 19:33 1 otu 2009 (UTC)

Á más, eban borrato o interwiki á l'articlo en aragonés en a wiki en anglés ta Río Nícher y ta Lagos. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 20:32 4 otu 2009 (UTC)

Rebisión d'a lista feita: muitos articlos ya feitos no teneban interwiki en anglés y no contaban pas; antiparte bi ha bellos problemas, se beiga a pachina de descusión d'a lista. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 08:33 5 otu 2009 (UTC)

Bi ha una lista de neglected articles u "articlos malos" u "tan malos que los borroron". [3]. He conseguito que Lión i desaparixca, y este mes m'he proposato que i desapareixca Eboluzión. Curiosament l'articlo d'a Ilesia Catolica i ye, pero no lo beigo tan malo u diferent d'atras biquipedias pa que siga neglected article. EBRO

No, os neglected articles son articlos que no tenemos (Ilesia Catolica no teneba iw en anglés, que yera á una rendrezera en a wiki anglesa, ye dezir, no esistiba ta ixa lista porque o bot no trobó o enlaze en a wiki anglesa) u que manca una mica ta saltar de ran (como se puet beyer en o enlaze ta la wiki en arabe, con articlos de 29.000 bytes) u tamién que son masiau curtos y se puet millorar-los. No son asinas ni malos ni borratos, y cuentan o mesmo que os grans como articlo feito. Ye nomás una guía u ayuda ta saber qué articlos se puet millorar u fer. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 11:13 6 otu 2009 (UTC) P.S.: Alto u baxo, yeran 50 articlos que no contaban. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 11:19 6 otu 2009 (UTC)

Felizitazions!!!! --Manuel Trujillo Berges 18:53 3 nob 2009 (UTC)

Parabiens!! Segundo diploma!! Pero en o siguient cal quedar primers u á lo menos segundos...asinas que iste mes bi ha que treballar...rematar toz os articlos e á más enamplar... á lo menos puyar os países a 10k...e atros que sían en a mugan á 10k u 30k... ez bisto que en a lista diz "Absent articles for major Wikipedias are in List of Wikipedias by sample of articles/Absent Articles."... ya somos una wiki gran!!! ("major Wikipedias")...si fez una golladeta á la lista d'as wikis con articlos requiestos que els consideran grans (m:List of Wikipedias by sample of articles/Absent Articles) nomás bel par de luengas no son luengas ofizials (e muitas d'estatos)... entre ellas l'aragonés... no somos ofizials, pero aquí que no bi ha politicos ta callarnos somos á o mesmo ran que as luengas ofizials!!! :-D...Entalto l'aragonés!

Lista d'os 1.000 articlos que toda wikipedia abría de tener (abiento)

Ya son esbiellatas as estatisticas d'abiento: somos a wikipedia 48 (51 en nobiembre), con 14,18 puntos (+0,47; 13,71 y +1,70 en nobiembre), 928 articlos curtos (890 en nobiembre), 60 articlos de tamaño meyo (59 en nobiembre), y 12 articlos largos (12 en nobiembre). O promeyo de bits por articlo ye de 3.243 (3.174 en nobiembre) con una meyana de 1.654 bits y somos a 14a wiki en crezimiento (3ª en nobiembre). Una cuestión muit important ye que no manca dengún articlo per prenzipiar d'ixa lista de 1.000. Nomás se troban en ixe caso, d'as 271 wikis que bi ha, as wikis en ucrainés, esperanto, aragonés, corián, anglés y anglés simple. Cal felizitar á toz os biquipedistas, pero creigo que més encara á Will, que ye qui más treballo ha feito. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 20:16 3 abi 2009 (UTC)

Me dixaba dezir que bi ha una clasificazión alternatiba no ofizial, basata en una lista de 2.000 articlos. A lista ye ista y en ixa clasificazión somos en o puesto numero 58, alto u baxo como en a clasificazión ofizial (datos d'o 25-28 d'octubre). --Manuel Trujillo Berges 20:20 3 abi 2009 (UTC)

Ye asinas, en .ca teneban (u tienen) un bot que tres begatas por día mira a longaria d'os articlos. Como nosotros no lo tenemos, cal fer, china chana, enamplando de mica en mica, mirando dende a lista d'articlos, y contar á güello, alto u baxo: 15.000 bytes ye equibalent á los 10 Kb d'a lista, 40.000 bytes á los 30 Kb. Nomás tenemos a lista d'os neglected articles: Cotton ye neglected por estar o enlaze en a wiki en anglés una rendrezera en a wiki en aragonés; pero Bin tien nomás 29.268 bytes en cuentas de 30.000, ye dezir, que con 732 letras más puya de ran. Asinas, mica en mica, á enamplar. Yo ya dizié que enamplaré os articlos de países y de ziudaz, mica en mica, en a suya parte d'istoria, y as biografías. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 22:41 3 abi 2009 (UTC)

Cambeyato l'iw en a wiki en anglés. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 22:44 3 abi 2009 (UTC)

L'articlo d'a primera Guerra Mundial ya lo podemos examplar bella cosa con o que tenemos escrito en os articlos d'os pueblos, (bulgaros, armenios, turcos, serbios, rumans), encara que mancando-ie cosas d'os países més grans como Alemaña, Imperio Ruso, Gran Bretaña, Franzia, etz.... En tot caso en pocos días puede puyar a 10.000 bites.--EBRO 07:54 4 abi 2009 (UTC)

Muitos parabiens ta toz os que fan posible iste chicot miraglo d'a Biquipedia en aragonés... --Manuel Trujillo Berges 19:15 18 abi 2009 (UTC)

Y hemos conseguito que esta vegata siga sobre un tema aragonés. Bueno, esta tarde he feito muitos articlos ascape, e lebará una semana acrotraziar-los. Agora soi un poquet canso. Os articlos d'os emperadors bizantins puedo ir examplando-los china chana toz os viernes en a biblioteca d'on treballo, on puedo consultar o libro d'os emperadors, e ixo mos da una informazión espezial que no tienen en totas as wikipedias.--EBRO 19:20 18 abi 2009 (UTC)

Si en dos días mos mantenemos por debant d'os belarrusos, ya podremos fer os articlos-istoricos-adelantamiento dedicatos a ellos. Yo quereba fer l'articlo d'o Tratato de Brest-Litovsk, pero he visto que ye largo....puede que faiga l'articlo d'a localidat de Brest-Litovsk. Suposo que agora os Belarrusos deben fer articlos ascape pa tornar a enantar-mos.--EBRO 09:32 31 abi 2009 (UTC)

Paraz cuenta que luego d'os 20.000 o siguient articlo istorico estará o 25.000, que se fará ista añada 2010. Au, enta l'articlo 20.000... --Manuel Trujillo Berges 16:46 29 chi 2010 (UTC)

Bufff...sí, pero o prosimo mes estoi que encara treballaremos menos...con o cambeyo de grafía ya somos toz acullonaus XDD... nomás quedan 3 días ta la grafía... en tres días prenzipia l'año 1 dimpués d'a grafía :-S --Willtron (?) 19:42 3 feb 2010 (UTC)

Ixa neografia no entrará ofizalment dica Chunio, seguntes el dizioron en a rayo, pos dinantes se irán fendo cambios u achustes d'o borrador que se i presente; no se si ye bueno tocar cosa y lugo tornar pa cambiar, busaltros mesmos.

Ya, pero nusatros la feremos servir ya, porque os cambeyos que puedan fer-se en chunio serán minimos y probablement se podrán fer automaticament con o bot... ye pior dixar pasar os meses y que tiengamos muitos más articlos... á más o cambeyo no será á l'inte...pasarán meses...asinas que en chunio encara quedarán muitos articlos con a "paleografía" (pareixe que ye (pre)istorica, pero no'n tien que 30 años :-D, tamién ye "neografía" en reyalidat) --Willtron (?) 20:56 3 feb 2010 (UTC)

Cal parar cuenta que se fan alto u baxo 600 articlos nuevos al mes, y 800 edicions diarias, ye decir, en 6 meses más de 3.500 articlos y 15.000 edicions. Si iste treballo se fa en una grafía antiga, caldrá repetir-lo dimpués, asinas que ye millor fer os cambeos á escape, ta evitar treballo doble. Sin d'embargo, cal decir que gracias por a tuya opinión, més encara en estar una edición de qui no ye rechistrato como usuario, encara que mos leye y fa bella colaboración, una preba más de l'intrés d'a comunidat que charra aragonés en a Biquipedia. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 22:44 3 feb 2010 (UTC)

Lista d'os 1.000 articlos que toda wikipedia abría de tener (31 de marzo)

S'han esviellato as estatisticas de marzo: somos a wikipedia numero 50 (50 en febrero), con 14,40 puntos (-0,17; 14,46 y +0,16 en febrero), 920 articlos curtos (923 en febrero), 67 articlos de tamanyo meyo (63 en febrero), y 12 articlos largos (14 en febrero). O promeyo de bits por articlo ye de 3.358 (3.399 en febrero) con una meyana de 1.688 bits (1.666 en febrero) y somos a 272a wiki en crecimiento (50a en febrero). Nomás manca fer l'articlo barca d'ixa lista de 1.000. Parix que agora a lista oficial ye ista, caldrá mirar si bi ha cambeos entre as versions. A baixata de puntuación pareix que ye porque desapareixen d'a nueva lista dos articlos que tenebamos prou enamplatos. Agora faré as actualizacions. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 15:54 5 abr 2010 (UTC)

Con os cambeos de grafía, no s'heban actualizato os iw de dos articlos (Teoría de grupos y Evolución). Si se contasen ixos dos articlos, á más de barca que no teneba l'iw en anglés, iste mes habría estato una creixencia de 0,02 puntos, con 14,48 en total. Prou bien, parando cuenta que o treballo d'o mes estió á sobén nomás de fer os cambeos de grafía. Por ista mesma razón baixoron tamién una mica os bits de promeyo por articlo. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 16:42 5 abr 2010 (UTC)

Una curiosidat sobre os nuestros vesitants

Fendo torismo hei trobau ista pachina á on se diz o puesto d'orichen d'os vesitants de cada prochecto. A mía sorpresa ye de veyer que nomás una quarta parte d'os nuestros vesitants vienen d'Espanya (incluyendo-ie Aragón), y que d'Estatos Unitos vien o 21,3% d'os nuestros vesitants, d'Alemanya o 5,7, de Mexico o 5,7, de Canadá o 5,3 u de China o 3,8, estando istos países qui mos aportan mas vesitants.... Estoi que no bi ha tants emigrants aragoneses en China u en ixos atros países... XDD... --Manuel Trujillo Berges 14:51 10 abr 2010 (UTC)

Bueno, no ye guaire raro...porque muitos visitants vendrán a traviés d'interwikis, y quasi todas as nuestras pachinas tienen vinclos enta pachinas en anglés u alemán (y Mexico ye o país con más hispanoparlants, EEUU amaneixe en totz, Alemanya en muitos)... son datos pareixius por eixemplo a atras wikis peninsulars como l'asturian, o estremenyo, catalán u o gallego (en istos dos zaguers ye mayor o porcentache de chent que dentra dende o estau espanyol porque bi ha más usuarios que i contribuyen). Encara que truca muito más o ficacio a cifra de 25.4% de polacos en eu:wikipedia... qué fan tantos polacos (y no de Catalunya XD) intresaus en aprender euskera? :-D --Willtron (?) 16:33 10 abr 2010 (UTC)

Maitín lo meteré ta deixar-lo toda la semana dica o Día Nacional.

Revisión definitiva de los Estatutos del Capítulo

(es) Se ha terminado con la redacción definitiva de los estatutos del futuro capítulo español de la Fundación Wikimedia. Se ha pretendido realizar una redacción simple y lo suficientemente flexible para que no sea necesario modificarlos en una buena temporada. Algunos de los detalles del funcionamiento de la asociación se incluirán en el futuro Reglamento de Régimen Interno para facilitar su modificación, ya que ese documento no necesita ser presentado en el Registro de Asociaciones y nos ahorramos ese papeleo.

Esta versión de los estatutos se va a someter a la votación de todos los interesados para lo que se abre un período de votación del 28 de abril al 5 de mayo, ambos inclusive. Oportunamente se hará saber el link donde se puede votar. Se ruega encarecidamente a quienes deseen proponer textos, artículos o frases alternativas, que no las intercalen en el texto del borrador de Estatutos, para no hacerlo ilegible, y que trasladen sus propuestas a la discusión de la página.

Queda convocada una reunión para el día 8 de mayo de 2010 en Madrid, reunión a la que podrán asistir todos los interesados, pues en ella se procederá a la firma del Acta de Constitución. Se ruega a todos los interesados en firmar que acudan con sus DNI o identificaciones oficiales (Pasaporte o Carné de Conducir), a ser posible en vigor.

Cualquier duda o sugerencia puede realizarse en las páginas de meta o en la lista de correo. Saludos, Elisardojm 12:28 26 abr 2010 (UTC)

Cal destacar que contina poquet á poquet o proceso de millora d'a qualidat d'os articlos (y ye platero que no nomás en os articlos d'ista lista parcial), encara que mos cal fer muito treballo ta continar millorando-los.

Tamién cal parar cuenta que se charra de fer una lista enamplata d'articlos, y que d'ista segunda lista encara faltarán mas cosas ta fer, anque que no ye definita por agora quala en será la suya composición final. Antiparte, ixo ye nuevo: se i mencionan as quatre wikipedias con mayor quantidat de bytes ta cada articlo d'a lista, y de diz qualo ye l'estato d'ixe articlo en a globalidat d'as wikipedias. Se menciona la Biquipedia en aragonés en Teoría de grupos (somos a segunda wiki en grandaria de l'articlo, con 30.973 bytes) y en Newton (unidat) (somos tamién a segunda wiki, con 8.694 bytes). --Manuel Trujillo Berges 16:28 3 chun 2010 (UTC)

Pero que articlos mancan??... son unos fillos de p*... si revisé yo ayere a lista y facié l'unico articlo que mancaba que yera nuevo! que cullons? "fruit" dicen que manca y leva feito dende o 30 d'octubre de 2006!!!! yo no sé que fan con os treslaus d'articlos en a Wiki anglesa, pero ixo siempre ocasiona que a la resta nos manquen articlos (y nos baixen puntos) que en realidat son feitos dende fa anyos... ixo sí, en a wiki anglesa nunca no mancan articlos! --Willtron (?) 14:04 23 set 2010 (UTC)

Tenemos l'articlo fruita, pero no l'articlo fruito (veyer ca:fruita, d'o qualo o nuestro en ye una adaptación, y ca:fruit). O que pasa ye que as interwikis yeran liadas y las desfacioron fa uno u dos meses. En cualsiquer caso, ixo son chicotas cosas que pueden pasar y que nomás difieren en una u dos centesimas de punto, o mas important ye de continar enamplando os articlos mas chicotz, que ye a on tenemos potencial ta millorar. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 15:12 23 set 2010 (UTC)

Mmm... que putada... ta ixo me fotié yo tot o día con l'articlo de Dubai, que creyeba que yera l'unico que nos mancaba :-D... bueno...pues ya feré ista nueit tamién l'articlo de fruito...asinas completamos a lista :-P --Willtron (?) 15:30 23 set 2010 (UTC)

Ha! Qué cabrons... ya sabeba yo que mancarían articlos...totz os meses igual XD ... y ixo que remate de fer os tres nuevos de Matematicas ta que no mancasen... pero de seguras que en a wiki anglesa no manca dengún... bueno... a o menos encara que no hemos puyau guaire si que se puet decir que continamos creixiendo... porque en quasi tot hemos puyau una miqueta.

O problema yera que dos articlos d'os zagueros que se facioron os bots no heban adhibito l'interwiki enta l'articlo en aragonés en a wiki anglesa, y una cosa prou rara, un articlo a on amaneixeba un interwiki enta grafía de Uesca mal escrito, que no sé d'a on l'heban pillau os bots, y que yera d'uno d'os nuevos articlos d'a lista que ya tenebamos ("Tecnolochías d\'a Informazión e a Comunicazión", yera l'interwiki). Veigo que en muitos casos o problema ye d'interwikis mal puestos en muitas wikis, que tornan folls a los bots i no sapen qualos interwikis arreglar. Por ixo ta os articlos d'a lista d'os 1.000 a prioridat ye siempre de meter l'interwiki en a wiki en anglés, que ye a que se prene como referencia. Ya los hei correchiu iste maitín. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 21:48 2 nov 2010 (UTC)

Ah, y a millora ye constant. Mica en mica s'enamplan bells articlos entra nivels superiors, pero tamién s'enamplan os mas chicotz, por ixo puya os promeyos y (o mas important) a meyana (ye decir, o puesto a on se troba o 50% mas gran y o 50% mas chicot, encara que no sé ta que un de letras cal que diga ixo, que soi o solo de letras astí, en meyo d'una colla de scientificos.... --Manuel Trujillo Berges 21:51 2 nov 2010 (UTC)

Somos a wikipedia numero 50 (52 en febrero, debantando a los companyers d'a wiki en vasco y d'a wiki en estonio), con 16,33 puntos (+0,20; 15,98 y +0,20 en febrero), 888 articlos curtos (896 en febrero), 78 articlos de tamanyo meyo (77 en febrero), y 30 articlos largos (26 en febrero), mancando por fer 4 articlos (1 en febrero; s'an feito muitos cambeo y no los tenebamos totz). O promeyo de bits por articlo ye de 4.346 (4.203 en febrero) con una meyana de 1.958 bits (1.946 en febrero) y somos a 13^ena wiki en crecimiento (34^ena en febrero). Encara que s'han cambeato pous articlos y no los tenebamos totz (amás ya no ye Grecia, que yera un articlo de mas de 10 Kb) s'ha feito una puyata important, que ye en gran parti fruito d'o treballo colaborativo d'o Biquiprochecto d'o País d'a Semana, que ha feito enamplar prous países. Pero cal destacar tamién que s'enamplan y milloran, mica en mica, totz os articlos d'a lista. Dixando de banda o feito d'haber puyau dos puestos en o ranking, ye muito mas important destacar a millora de contenitos que fa platero ixo, encara que ye prou destacato estar entre as 50 millors wikipedias por a calidat d'os contenius, mas destacato encara en estar a wiki numero 70 por numero d'articlos, prueba d'o nivel de calidat d'iste prochecto. Au, a veyer si iste mes se fan mas milloras, que bi ha muito por fer. --Manuel Trujillo Berges 20:21 2 abr 2011 (UTC)

Y ta o siguient mes, una novedat important. S'actualiza a contimparanza entre os caracters que cada luenga fa servir ta un mesmo texto. Dica hue, se mos contaba por defecto igual que l'anglés, pero agora tendremos un modificador que millorará as nuestras estatisticas, que se multiplicarán por 1,1, ye decir, os bits de cada articlo contarán un 10% mas. Como fácil que s'actualicen iste mesmo mes as nuestras estatisticas, ya lo diré aquí. Cal parar cuenta que en o caso d'o estonio, una luenga que hemos debantau chusto agora, o modificador y d'1,2, con a quala cosa mos podrían tornar a debantar en a clasificación.

Lista d'os 1.000 articlos que toda wikipedia habría de tener (1 de mayo)

Bueno, ya tenemos actualización... mos mancaba un articlo, que yera feito, pero no han trobau o interwiki... asinas que tenemos totz os articlos. Tenemos 883 articlos curtos (888 que tenébanos o mes anterior), 85 meyos (78 que tenebanos antis) y 31 articlos grans (antis 30). Posición 51 (hemos baixau una posición) --Willtron (?) 12:09 3 may 2011 (UTC)

Bueno, miraré de fer puyar por o menos un articlo y a veyer si enantamos a los d'o simple english.--EBRO 14:33 3 may 2011 (UTC)

Una parti important d'a puyata d'iste mes (que tampoco no ye tan gran) ye por a multiplicación que se fa d'1,1 (veyer o mío comentario dencima, en a lista d'1 d'abril). Antiparte, veigo que a wiki en anglés simple mos porta 0,20 puntos, ye decir, que ta debantarlos mos cal puyar u 3 articlos de tamanyo chicot dica tamanyo gran (0,09*3=0,27) u 2 articlos chicotz enta grans (0,09*2=0,18) amás d'un chicot enta meyano (0,06) u 5 de tamanyo chicot dica meyano (5*0,04=0,20) u 4 de tamanyo meyano dica gran (0,06*4=0,24). Tot ixo si ells no fan cosa... --Manuel Trujillo Berges 09:55 4 may 2011 (UTC)

Fin d'o cambio d'ortografía

Fa bells minutos s'ha sacau a plantilla de Grafía 87 d'o zaguer articlo que la levaba, por o que se puet dicir que hemos rematau o largo proceso de cambio ortografico ta la ortografía de l'Academia de l'Aragonés. Asinas que norabuena y parabiens a toda a comunidat d'editors de Biquipedia.

16.68%

Ya tenemos 7663 articlos en a Ortografía oficial de l'Academia Aragonesa d'a Luenga.

--Juan Pablo 21:06 28 ago 2011 (UTC)

Ye de dar que nos trobaremos con errors ortograficas, que iremos correchindo, como ha pasau siempre. Pero como que chusto plegamos de rematar o proceso de cambio ortografico, a mía recomendación de mirar l'aparición ixas parolas en atros articlos porque ye posible que se tracte d'una error repetida. Si calese fer una cantidat d'edicions menor de 10-15 pachinas, o millor ye fer-las a man, pero si o numero ye mas gran, dicitz-me-lo pa fer os cambios con o bot u con l'AWB.

O siguient trango ye fer os cambios en as plantillas. A sola cosa prioritaria ye de cambiar os textos visibles d'as plantillas (estoi que ya ye cambiau en a mas gran parte), ya que a resta de cosas, no son visibles y amás se pueden automatizar. --Juan Pablo 21:06 28 ago 2011 (UTC)

Parabiens! Ye una fita important porque ya hemos puesto a la fin quitar de tot ixas plantillas tan fieras :-) Respective a las plantillas os textos visibles son totz cambeaus ya dende fa tiempo, asinas que nomás cal cambear os invisibles :-P --Willtron (?) 21:19 28 ago 2011 (UTC)

Parabiens. Mos ha costau més d'una anyada, pero a la fin hemos visto cumplido l'obchectivo, biquipedia será una referencia pa qui mire como s'escribe bella cosa en a grafía actual, que con a grafía anterior por simpla no caleba una referencia en un corpus d'articlos enciclopedicos a nuestra biquipedia. Con o d'as plantillas quiero proposar d'encomenzar os cambeos con ixas on bi haiga errors heredaus de l'oscurantismo anterior como prefeutura que fan mal a os uellos. En as plantillas de santos caldrá aproveitar introducir unas parolas que ya indicaré, a més de posar ixas parolas como hipervinclo pa quan s'actualice a lista de pachinas requiestas u a lista d'articlos més enlazaus.--EBRO 00:11 29 ago 2011 (UTC)

Muitos parabiens, mica en mica s'ha feito a la fin..... --Manuel Trujillo Berges 08:38 29 ago 2011 (UTC)

Wikidata

Hola a todos.

Acudo a esta sección del Café para informaros sobre algo que va a cambiar sustancialmente la forma de editar, no solo en esta, sino en todas las versiones en los diferentes idiomas y dialectos de Wikipedia: el proyecto Wikidata.

Este será un nuevo proyecto Wikimedia, impulsado desde Wikimedia Alemania, con el fin de crear una base de datos global de conocimiento libre que pueda ser leída tanto por humanos como por programas. Proporcionará datos en todas las lenguas de los proyectos Wikimedia, y el acceso centralizado a los mismos será similar al acceso a los archivos multimedia de Wikimedia Commons.

Si queréis más información sobre el tema, podéis consultar:

• «m:Wikidata/es», página de información general en español sobre el proyecto.
• La lista de correo de Wikidata se utiliza para dar avisos, iniciar discusiones y reunir información sobre el proyecto.
• El canal de IRC Wikidata #wikimedia-wikidata en freenode es usado para conversaciones en tiempo real sobre el proyecto.
• El canal de IRC de Wikipedia en español #wikipedia-es, donde podremos resolver algunas dudas relacionadas en castellano.
• «m:Wikidata/Events» lleva un registro de los eventos relacionados con Wikidata, como conferencias y horas de oficina en IRC.

Un saludo, y perdón por escribir en español. --invadinado _(Cuéntame) 11:06 2 abr 2012 (UTC)

Un articlo en occitano a favor de l'aragonés

He publicau un articlo en occitano a favor de l'aragonés: "L'aragonés, una autra lenga sòrre", diário digital 'Jornalet' 06/08/2012--Nil Blau (discusión) 18:48 6 ago 2012 (UTC)

Gracias por a tuya dedicación. Ye important dar a conoixer a realidat lingüistica crebando as mugas. Por cierto, que he feito esbozos d'articlos de localidatz de Teruel y Zaragoza en a wiki occitana y he visto que bi ha pocos articlos de localidatz de Uesca. Sería deseyable que en a wiki occitana fuesen presents articlos de localidatz de Uesca que mugan con Occitania y a on se charra aragonés.--EBRO (discusión) 07:04 7 ago 2012 (UTC)

Jerónimo de Blancas

Manca iste articlo (cas greu, creigo) copiar e pegar do catalá... http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jer%C3%B3nimo_de_Blancas_y_Tom%C3%A1s En la edición española, dice que fue "un español" (como Zurita) Creo que las ediciones wiki se han concertido en una falso contexto lengua-nación (Horrible la cosa) Manipulación y tergiversación...interesada claro...controlan y hacen lo que quieren, en la wiki en castellano. Queja al fundador de la misma.... La nacionalidad española y el ser español no fue tal hasta 1812...y siendo genereso, un siglo atrás (1714 en adelante) PERO NO ANTES..."pero no antes" Ubicar a un personaje histórico por el lugar geográfico (de la nación-estado-país) actual, me parece aberrante. La nacionalidad-personalidad jurídica aragonesa duró hasta 1711. (Iste comentario ye de l'usuario:Aragonesiste, qui xublidó de sinyar-lo)

Quiesto usuario. Mos cal fer muitos, muitismos articlos. Pero mos faltan mans ta fer-los, asinas que se fan chino-chana, quan se puet y se troba una mica de tiempo, que prou treballo se fa en iste chicot prochecto, asinas que si quiers fer tu mesmo l'articlo, entadebant. Sobre o tema que comentas d'a wikipedia en castellán, ye cierto tot o que dices. Por ixo ni yo ni d'atros usuarios d'iste prochecto no i colaboramos. Trobarás un exemplo d'as suyas posturas politicas espanyolistas en ista descusión de fa tiempos en a wikipedia espanyola. No paga la pena de molestar-se, que o tiempo que se pierde en prebar de fer-lis dentrar en razón ye tiempo perdiu ta fer un articlo en aragonés en a Biquipedia, que ya a millor manera de treballar t'a nuestra luenga y t'a nuestra cultura. --Manuel Trujillo Berges (discusión) 20:11 16 chi 2013 (UTC)

Petició de Grant, consolidar wikiArS per involucrar les escoles d'art

(es) Hola disculpad que no escriba en aragonés. En el curso pasado pusimos en marcha una iniciativa, wikiArS [5], en colaboración con algunas escuelas de arte y diseño catalanas para involucrarlas en los objetivos del movimiento Wikimedia (ver Llotja y Serra i Abella) y este curso ya hay 7 escuelas contactadas de las cuales 4 ya han empezado a colaborar. Además se ha incorporado a la iniciativa un grupo de la Universidad de Cádiz con estudiantes de una asignatura de gráficos. La idea es que los estudiantes generen imágenes que faltan en Wikipedia (y publicarlas en Commmons) o materiales para difundirla (y publicarlas en Outreach). Lo que solemos hacer a través de prácticas profesionales (se están haciendo en la asociación Amical Viquipèdia), proyectos de fín de estudios o ejercicios de clase.

Pues para impulsar esta iniciativa he pedido una IEG (subvenciones personales para proyectos que beneficien al movimiento Wikimedia) a la Fundación Wikimedia que me permitiría trabajar en su consalidación durante los próximos meses, entre primavera y otoño.

Podéis leer la propuesta aquí:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Consolidate_wikiArS_to_involve_art_schools

Cualquier comentario o sugerencia serán bienvenidos en esta misma Tabierna o bien en la página de discusión de la propuesta. Además para que la IEG salga adelante hace falta el apoyo de la comunidad, por lo que os pido que, si os parece interesante la iniciativa, mostréis vuestro apoyo en la sección Endorsements (no es necesario dejar el mensaje en inglés, podéis hacerlo en aragonés o en cualquier otra lengua).

Aprovecho para pediros que si encontráis imágenes no fotográficas que falten en los artículos que escribís nos lo digais para que las podamos tener en cuenta para generar encargos. Usamos esta página (en catalán pero muy esquemática) para detectar posibles encargos. Saludos! --Dvdgmz (discusión) 09:45 19 feb 2013 (UTC)

(ca) Hola disculpeu que no escrigui en aragonès. En el curs passat vam posar en marxa una iniciativa, wikiArS [6], en col·laboració amb algunes escoles d'art i disseny catalanes per involucrar-les en els objectius del moviment Wikimedia (veure Llotja i Serra i Abella) i aquest curs ja hi ha 7 escoles contactades de les quals 4 ja han començat a col·laborar. A més s'ha incorporat a la iniciativa un grup de la Universitat de Cadis amb estudiants d'una assignatura de gràfics. La idea és que els estudiants generin imatges que falten a Wikipedia (i publicar-les en Commmons) o materials per difondre (i publicar-l0s en Outreach). El que solem fer a través de pràctiques professionals (s'estan fent a l'associació Amical Viquipèdia), projectes de fi d'estudis o exercicis de classe.

Doncs per impulsar aquesta iniciativa he demanat una IEG (subvencions personals per a projectes que beneficiïn el moviment Wikimedia) a la Fundació Wikimedia que em permetria treballar en la seva consolidació durant els propers mesos, entre primavera i tardor .

Podeu llegir la proposta aquí:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Consolidate_wikiArS_to_involve_art_schools

Qualsevol comentari o suggeriment seran benvinguts en aquesta mateixa Tabierna o bé a la pàgina de discussió de la proposta. A més, perquè la IEG tiri endavant, cal el suport de la comunitat, de manera que us demano que, si us sembla interessant la iniciativa, mostreu el vostre suport a la secció endorsements (no cal deixar el missatge en anglès, podeu fer-ho en aragonès o en qualsevol altra llengua).

Aprofito per demanar-vos que si trobeu imatges no fotogràfiques que faltin en els articles que escriviu ens ho digueu perquè les puguem tenir en compte per generar encàrrecs. Utilitzem aquesta pàgina (en català però molt esquemàtica) per detectar possibles encàrrecs. Salut! --Dvdgmz (discusión) 09:45 19 feb 2013 (UTC)

(an) Muitas gracias por l'aviso y que vaiga bueno!!!!

(ca) Moltes gràcies per l'avís i molta sort!!!! --Manuel Trujillo Berges (discusión) 12:32 19 feb 2013 (UTC)

imachens de wikiArS

(es)Disculpad por escribir en lapao :-) en vez de aragonés si no se entiende puedo escribir en castellano.

(ca)Hola, fa un temps us parlava de la iniciativa wikiArS, aquests dies diversos estudiants que hi participen estan publicant la feina que han fet a Commons. Tenim doncs noves il·lustracions, infografies i animacions que poden ser utilitzades als articles de Viquipèdia, a continuació en poso alguns.--Dvdgmz (discusión) 09:12 3 chun 2013 (UTC)

Ola Dvdgmz! Muitas gracias por a información... ye una iniciativa sobrebuena que fa muita honra a la Wikipedia. De seguras que podremos fer servir muitas d'istas imachens en os nuestros articlos. Salut! PD: os parlants d'aragonés entendemos bien o "lapao", atra cosa hese estau que mos heses escrito en catalán u bella luenga "rariza y forana" :-D, alavez ya caldría emplegar un traductor lapao-català ta enternder as numerosas diferencias que bi ha XD Salut! --Willtron (?) 11:56 3 chun 2013 (UTC)

Ola! (ca) Moltes gràcies pels comentaris. Espero que sí que serveixin pels articles. Quan hi hagi novetats seguiré informant. PD: i seguirem lapaojant :)--Dvdgmz (discusión) 12:17 4 chun 2013 (UTC)

Noves imatges de wikiArS

(ca) Hola, aquest final de curs els estudiants que participen a wikiArS segueixen publicant coses, hi ha novetats, que es poden fer servir en els articles de Biquipedia. Us ho comento una mica a continuació.

Il·lustració científica d'animals extingits (o en perill) que han fet estudiants de Llotja i ha assessorat en Leptictidium:

• Crisi de salinitat del Messinià by FedericaBri

Així com dos estudiants d'edRa (Rubí) van fer infografies sobre la mina de Naica (vegeu l'explicació del procés de treball), dues companyes seves han fet dos viquillibres per a viquijúnior sobre la mateixa mina assessorades per la geòloga Àngels Canals:

Nova convocatòria d'ajudes IEG de la Fundació Wikimedia

(ca) Hola, us volia informar que la Fundació Wikimedia ha obert la segona convocatòria de IEG's. Ja podeu enviar propostes de projectes per millorar la comunitat Wikimedia i els seus projectes. Són ajudes a nivell personal o per a petits equips per tal d'organitzar, crear, investigar o dinamitzar projectes que facilitin la feina dels voluntaris als projectes de coneixement lliure.

Alguns ja sabeu (i fins i tot em vau donar suport) que la Fundació Wikimedia em va donar un Individual Engagement Grant que m'està permeten dedicar més temps a la consolidació a la iniciativa wikiArS durant uns mesos i que cobreix algunes de les despeses que té el projecte. Si algú s'anima a demanar un grant i puc ajudar-lo en alguna cosa a partir de la meva experiència que no dubti en contactar-me.

La data límit per enviar propostes serà el proper 30 de setembre però potser podeu aprofitar l'agost per anar pensant-hi i esbossant-los. Si no us hi voleu presentar però teniu idees que algú altre pot desenvolupar les podeu escriure i participar a l'IdeaLab. I si voleu participar en el la selecció de propostes també pot formar part del IEG Committee.

Podeu veure per què estan servint les IEGrants en el darrer post del blog de Wikimedia. Aquesta és una via complementària als ajuts que es canalitzen a través dels capítols locals i organitzacions temàtiques. Permet a una persona o petit equip de dedicar un temps (mig any) a un projecte i així fer-lo avançar, en benefici del coneixement lliure.

Vinga, ¿us hi animeu? --Dvdgmz (discusión) 01:47 8 ago 2013 (UTC)

Informe final IEG wikiArS

(ca)

A l'abril passat vaig rebre un Individual Engagement Grants de la Fundació Wikimedia per treballar en la consolidació de la iniciativa wikiArS. Durant mig any hi he estat treballant i recentment he presentat l'Informe final que us convido a llegir. Potser també us poden interessar els estudis de cas. Crec que els objectius de consolidació s'han aconseguit, la iniciativa ha crescut en experiències i en persones involucrades. La he estat promovent i dinamitzant, també he desenvolupat alguns recursos que la faciliten, a més la metodologia i recomenacions estan més ben documentades. Vull agrair a totes les persones amb les qui estic col·laborant en aquesta iniciativa, als qui hi estan participant i a tots aquells que hi heu ajudat o heu fet aportacions. Acaba doncs el meu període de IEGrantee però segueixo compromès amb la iniciativa, tenim moltes coses engegades en les que seguir treballant, espero comptar amb la vostra col·laboració. Els suggeriments i comentaris són benvinguts. Salutacions. --Dvdgmz (discusión) 14:33 17 avi 2013 (UTC)

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

• Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
• New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
• The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
• Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
• Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
• Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
• The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
• More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
• Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
• Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
• Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 23:55 14 chi 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki 1.19

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki (the software powering this wiki) to its latest version this month. You can help to test it before it is enabled, to avoid disruption and breakage. More information is available in the full announcement. Thank you for your understanding.

Update on IPv6

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the full version of this announcement on Meta)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.

What this means for your project:

• At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334". See e.g. w:en:IPv6 address. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See the full version of this announcement for notes on range blocks.)

• In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6.

• We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.

Read the full version of this announcement on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

2011 Picture of the Year competition

македонски • norsk • polski

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2011. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!

Detailed information about the contest can be found at the introductory page.

About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during 2011 and are now called Featured Pictures.

From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons Features Pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories.

We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.

See you on Commons! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 18:01 5 chun 2012 (UTC)

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

Hi,

As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.

Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)

As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.

The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:

1. language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
3. lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)

It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.

For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :) If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

Thanks!

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons.

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) coming to this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally.

Wikidata has been in development for a few months now. It is now time for the roll-out of the first part of it on your Wikipedia. Phase 1 is the support for the management of language links. It is already being used on the Hungarian, Hebrew, Italian and English Wikipedias. The next step is to enable the extension on all other Wikipedias. We have currently planned this for March 6.

What is Wikidata?

Wikidata is a central place to store data that you can usually find in infoboxes. Think of it as something like Wikimedia Commons but for data (like the number of inhabitants of a country or the length of a river) instead of multimedia. The first part of this project (centralizing language links) is being rolled out now. The more fancy things will follow later.

What is going to happen?

Language links in the sidebar are going to come from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.

Where can I find more information and ask questions?

Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) coming to this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. It is soon time to enable the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) and things are looking good. The next step is English Wikipedia. This is planned for April 8. If everything works out fine we will deploy on all remaining Wikipedias on April 10. I will update this part of the FAQ if there are any issues forcing us to change this date. I will also sent another note to this village pump once the deployment is finished.

What will happen once we have phase 2 enabled here? Once it is enabled in a few days you will be able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!)

How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:

• Use a parser function like {{#property:p169}} in the wiki text of the article on Yahoo!. This will return “Marissa Mayer” as she is the chief executive officer of the company.
• For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.

We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:chief executive officer}} instead of {{#property:p169}}. The complete plan for this is here.

Where can I test this? You can already test it on test2.

Where can I find more information and ask questions? We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) is here

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. We have now enabled the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) a month ago and two days ago on the English Wikipedia. Today all the remaining Wikipedias followed.

What does having phase 2 enabled here mean? You are now able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!) The current state is just the beginning though. It will be extended based on feedback we get from you now.

How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:

• Use a parser function like {{#property:p159}} in the wiki text of the article on Wikimedia Foundation. This will return “San Francisco” as that is the headquarter location of the non-profit.
• For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.

We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:headquarter location}} instead of {{#property:p159}}. The complete plan for this is here.

Where can I test this? You can test it on test2 if you don't want to do it in an article here.

Where can I find more information and ask questions? We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

[en] Change to wiki account system and account renaming

Some accounts will soon be renamed due to a technical change that the developer team at Wikimedia are making. More details on Meta.

[en] Change to section edit links

The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.

Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.

Universal Language Selector will be enabled on 2013-07-09

On July 9, 2013, Universal Language Selector (ULS) will be enabled on this wiki. The ULS provides a flexible way to configure and deliver language settings like interface language, fonts, and input methods (keyboard mappings). Making it available here is the last phase of making ULS available on all Wikimedia wikis.

Pywikipedia is migrating to git

Hello, Sorry for English but It's very important for bot operators so I hope someone translates this. Pywikipedia is migrating to Git so after July 26, SVN checkouts won't be updated If you're using Pywikipedia you have to switch to git, otherwise you will use out-dated framework and your bot might not work properly. There is a manual for doing that and a blog post explaining about this change in non-technical language. If you have question feel free to ask in mw:Manual talk:Pywikipediabot/Gerrit, mailing list, or in the IRC channel. Best Amir (via Global message delivery). 12:51 23 chul 2013 (UTC)

VisualEditor and your Wikipedia

(Please translate this message)

Greetings,

The Wikimedia Foundation will soon turn on VisualEditor for all users, all the time on your Wikipedia. Right now your Wikipedia does not have any local documents on VisualEditor, and we hope that your community can change that. To find out about how you can help with translations visit the TranslationCentral for VisualEditor and read the easy instructions on bringing information to your Wikipedia. The User Guide and the FAQ are very important to have in your language.

We want to find out as much as we can from you about VisualEditor and how it helps your Wikipedia, and having local pages is a great way to start. We also encourage you to leave feedback on Mediawiki where the community can offer ideas, opinions, and point out bugs that may still exist in the software that need to be reported to Bugzilla. If you are able to speak for the concerns of others in English on MediaWiki or locally I encourage you to help your community to be represented in this process.

If you can help translate the user interface for VisualEditor to your language, you can help with that as well. Translatewiki has open tasks for translating VisualEditor. A direct link to translate the user interface is here. You can see how we are doing with those translations here. You need an account on Translatewiki to translate. This account is free and easy to create.

If we can help your community in any way with this process, please let me know and I will do my best to assist your Wikipedia with this |exciting development. You can contact me on my meta talk page or by email. You can also contact Patrick Earley for help with translations and documents on Mediawiki. We look forward to working with you to bring the VisualEditor experience to your Wikipedia! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:55 30 chul 2013 (UTC)

HTTPS for users with an account

Greetings. Starting on August 21 (tomorrow), all users with an account will be using HTTPS to access Wikimedia sites. HTTPS brings better security and improves your privacy. More information is available at m:HTTPS.

If HTTPS causes problems for you, tell us on bugzilla, on IRC (in the #wikimedia-operations channel) or on meta. If you can't use the other methods, you can also send an e-mail to https@wikimedia.org.

Request for consultation on community logo

Request for consultation on this community logo

First, I’d like to apologize for the English. If you can, please help to translate this for other members of your community.

The legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation would greatly appreciate your input on the best way to manage the "community logo" (pictured here) to best balance protection of the projects with community support. Accordingly, they have created a “request for consultation” on Meta where they set out briefly some of the issues to be considered and the options that they perceive. Your input would be invaluable in helping guide them in how best to serve our mission.

Thank you! --Mdennis (talk) (via the Global message delivery system). 01:56 24 set 2013 (UTC) (wrong page? You can fix it.)

Notifications

Notifications inform you of new activity that affects you -- and let you take quick action.

(This message is in English, please translate as needed)

Greetings!

Notifications will inform users about new activity that affects them on this wiki in a unified way: for example, this new tool will let you know when you have new talk page messages, edit reverts, mentions or links -- and is designed to augment (rather than replace) the watchlist. The Wikimedia Foundation's editor engagement team developed this tool (code-named 'Echo') earlier this year, to help users contribute more productively to MediaWiki projects.

We're now getting ready to bring Notifications to almost all other Wikimedia sites, and are aiming for a 22 October deployment, as outlined in this release plan. It is important that notifications is translated for all of the languages we serve.

There are three major points of translation needed to be either done or checked:

• Echo on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
• Thanks on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
• Notifications help on mediawiki.org. This page can be hosted after translation on mediawiki.org or we can localize it to this Wikipedia. You do not have to have an account to translate on mediawiki, but single-user login will create it for you there if you follow the link.

• Checklist

Please let us know if you have any questions, suggestions or comments about this new tool. For more information, visit this project hub and this help page. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:06 4 oct 2013 (UTC)

Speak up about the trademark registration of the Community logo.

Hi all,

Please join the consultation about the Community logo that represents Meta-Wiki: m:Community Logo/Request for consultation.

This community consultation was commenced on September 24. The following day, two individuals filed a legal opposition against the registration of the Community logo.

The question is whether the Wikimedia Foundation should seek a collective membership mark with respect to this logo or abandon its registration and protection of the trademark.

We want to make sure that everyone get a chance to speak up so that we can get clear direction from the community. We would therefore really appreciate the community's help in translating this announcement from English so that everyone is able to understand it.

Thanks, Geoff & Yana 19:36 8 oct 2013 (UTC)

Introducting Beta Features

(Apologies for writing in English. Please translate if necessary)

We would like to let you know about Beta Features, a new program from the Wikimedia Foundation that lets you try out new features before they are released for everyone.

Think of it as a digital laboratory where community members can preview upcoming software and give feedback to help improve them. This special preference page lets designers and engineers experiment with new features on a broad scale, but in a way that's not disruptive.

Beta Features is now ready for testing on MediaWiki.org. It will also be released on Wikimedia Commons and MetaWiki this Thursday, 7 November. Based on test results, the plan is to release it on all wikis worldwide on 21 November, 2013.

Here are the first features you can test this week:

• Media Viewer — view images in large size or full screen
• VisualEditor Formulæ (for wikis with VisualEditor) — edit algebra or equations on your pages
• Typography Refresh — make text more readable (coming Thursday)

Would you like to try out Beta Features now? After you log in on MediaWiki.org, a small 'Beta' link will appear next to your 'Preferences'. Click on it to see features you can test, check the ones you want, then click 'Save'. Learn more on the Beta Features page.

After you've tested Beta Features, please let the developers know what you think on this discussion page -- or report any bugs here on Bugzilla. You're also welcome to join this IRC office hours chat on Friday, 8 November at 18:30 UTC.

Beta Features was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation's Design, Multimedia and VisualEditor teams. Along with other developers, they will be adding new features to this experimental program every few weeks. They are very grateful to all the community members who helped create this project — and look forward to many more productive collaborations in the future.

Enjoy, and don't forget to let developers know what you think! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19:26 5 nov 2013 (UTC)

Call for comments on draft trademark policy

Hi all,

The Wikimedia legal team invites you to participate in the development of the new Wikimedia trademark policy.

The current trademark policy was introduced in 2009 to protect the Wikimedia marks. We are now updating this policy to better balance permissive use of the marks with the legal requirements for preserving them for the community. The new draft trademark policy is ready for your review here, and we encourage you to discuss it here.

We would appreciate if someone would translate this message into your language so more members of your community can contribute to the conversation.

Thanks,
Yana & Geoff

VisualEditor update

Greetings,

My apologies for writing in English. Please translate this message if possible.

As a followup from my post here back in July, I'm happy to let you know that VisualEditor will finally be enabled by default on this wiki on 13 January. Making sure that all the information that you need is translated and localized is very important. You can help translate the interface and translate the User Guide so that your community can use VisualEditor as well as possible.

If you would like to try out VisualEditor now, you can by finding the option in beta feautres, also found by clicking on the word "beta" on the top right next to your preferences.

Please email me or contact me on my meta talk page with any questions you might have about VisualEditor or any of the other beta features available. Thank you. Keegan (WMF) talk 23:55 19 avi 2013 (UTC)

VisualEditor office hours

Hello. I apologize for writing in English. Please help translate this message.

The engineering department has already planned office hours in the next months to discuss VisualEditor. The first one will be held on January 15th, at 2300 UTC; the second will be held a week later, on January 22nd, at 2300 UTC. Please join as Product Manager James Forrester discusses VisualEditor and upcoming plans. Logs will be posted on Meta after each office hour completes. (If office hours are heavily attended, it can be difficult to get to all questions, but if you want to ask a question and cannot attend or do not speak English, please let us know your question here by the day before and a community liaison will present it among possible discussion topics).

We’ll post a reminder close to the date as well.

Request for comment on Commons: Should Wikimedia support MP4 video?

I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.

The Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the MP4 video format. This digital video standard is used widely around the world to record, edit and watch videos on mobile phones, desktop computers and home video devices. It is also known as H.264/MPEG-4 or AVC.

Supporting the MP4 format would make it much easier for our users to view and contribute video on Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects -- and video files could be offered in dual formats on our sites, so we could continue to support current open formats (WebM and Ogg Theora).

However, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format, and using a proprietary format would be a departure from our current practice of only supporting open formats on our sites -- even though the licenses appear to have acceptable legal terms, with only a small fee required.

We would appreciate your guidance on whether or not to support MP4. Our Request for Comments presents views both in favor and against MP4 support, based on opinions we’ve heard in our discussions with community and team members.

Please join this RfC -- and share your advice.

All users are welcome to participate, whether you are active on Commons, Wikipedia, other Wikimedia project -- or any site that uses content from our free media repository.

You are also welcome to join tomorrow's Office hours chat on IRC, this Thursday, January 16, at 19:00 UTC, if you would like to discuss this project with our team and other community members.

We look forward to a constructive discussion with you, so we can make a more informed decision together on this important topic. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:46 16 chi 2014 (UTC)

Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014

On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension Universal Language Selector (ULS) was disabled on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.

We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A new checkbox has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.

You can read the announcement and the development plan for more information. Apologies for writing this message only in English. Thank you. Runa

Call for project ideas: funding is available for community experiments

I apologize if this message is not in your language. Please help translate it.

Do you have an idea for a project that could improve your community? Individual Engagement Grants from the Wikimedia Foundation help support individuals and small teams to organize experiments for 6 months. You can get funding to try out your idea for online community organizing, outreach, tool-building, or research to help make Wikipedia better. In March, we’re looking for new project proposals.

Examples of past Individual Engagement Grant projects:

• Organizing social media for Chinese Wikipedia ($350 for materials)
• Improving gadgets for Visual Editor ($4500 for developers)
• Coordinating access to reliable sources for Wikipedians ($7500 for project management, consultants and materials)
• Building community and strategy for Wikisource (€10000 for organizing and travel)

Proposals are due by 31 March 2014. There are a number of ways to get involved!

Hope to have your participation,

--Siko Bouterse, Head of Individual Engagement Grants, Wikimedia Foundation 19:44 28 feb 2014 (UTC)

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:

• April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
• April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live

This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

For more information:

• Summary of changes and FAQ
• Discussion page for feedback or questions
• Post on blog.wikimedia.org

No one needs free knowledge in Esperanto

There is a current discussion on German Wikipedia on a decision of Asaf Bartov, Head of WMF Grants and Global South Partnerships, Wikimedia Foundation, who rejected a request for funding a proposal from wikipedians from eowiki one year ago with the explanation the existence, cultivation, and growth of the Esperanto Wikipedia does not advance our educational mission. No one needs free knowledge in Esperanto. On meta there has also started a discussion about that decision. --Holder (discusión) 09:37 5 may 2014 (UTC)

Media Viewer

Greetings, my apologies for writing in English.

I wanted to let you know that Media Viewer will be released to this wiki in the coming weeks. Media Viewer allows readers of Wikimedia projects to have an enhanced view of files without having to visit the file page, but with more detail than a thumbnail. You can try Media Viewer out now by turning it on in your Beta Features. If you do not enjoy Media Viewer or if it interferes with your work after it is turned on you will be able to disable Media Viewer as well in your preferences. I invite you to share what you think about Media Viewer and how it can be made better in the future.

Thank you for your time. - Keegan (WMF) 21:29 23 may 2014 (UTC)

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. It was noted that on this wiki upload is not fully functional for users, who will experience a very difficult and/or illegal uploading. In fact, the licenses/copyright tags dropdown is empty, making it hard or impossible to comply with copyright requirements during upload itself.

Presumably, you don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. I propose to have

• local "Cargar fichero" restricted to the "Administradors" group (for emergency uploads) and
• the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,

so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.

All this will get done around 2014-07-03.

1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list. Remember also to create MediaWiki:Licenses locally with any content (see a simple example), or uploads will be soon disabled anyway by MediaWiki itself (starting in version 1.24wmf11).
2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Media Viewer is now live on this wiki

Media Viewer lets you see images in larger size

Greetings— and sorry for writing in English, please translate if it will help your community,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Multimedia team is happy to announce that Media Viewer was just released on this site today.

Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages — and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a Beta Feature and has been released to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.

If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on "Disable Media Viewer" at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your your preferences) whether you have an account or not. Learn more in this Media Viewer Help page.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to take this quick survey in English, en français, o español.

We hope you enjoy Media Viewer. Many thanks to all the community members who helped make it possible. - Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 21:54 19 chun 2014 (UTC)

VisualEditor global newsletter—June 2014

This is a one-time mailing to projects that may need this information. Future newsletters will be available as opt-in only. To receive future newsletters (about one per month), please add your page to the subscribers' list at m:VisualEditor/Newsletter. You're welcome to translate to your language.

Did you know?

The character formatting menu, or "Estilo de texto" menu lets you set bold, italic, and other text styles. "Clear formatting" removes all text styles and removes links to other pages.

Do you think that clear formatting should remove links? Are there changes you would like to see for this menu? Share your opinion at MediaWiki.org.

The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor.

The VisualEditor team is mostly working to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

• They have moved the "Atajos de teclado" link out of the "Opciones de página" menu, into the "Ayuda" menu. Within dialog boxes, buttons are now more accessible (via the Tab key) from the keyboard.
• You can now see the target of the link when you click on it, without having to open the inspector.
• The team also expanded TemplateData: You can now add a parameter type  "date" for dates and times in the ISO 8601 format, and  "boolean" for values which are true or false. Also, templates that redirect to other templates (like {{citeweb}} → {{cite web}}) now get the TemplateData of their target (bug 50964). You can test TemplateData by editing mw:Template:Sandbox/doc.
• Category: and File: pages now display their contents correctly after saving an edit (bug 65349, bug 64239)
• They have also improved reference editing: You should no longer be able to add empty citations with VisualEditor (bug 64715), as with references. When you edit a reference, you can now empty it and click the "use an existing reference" button to replace it with another reference instead. 
• It is now possible to edit inline images with VisualEditor. Remember that inline images cannot display captions, so existing captions get removed. Many other bugs related to images were also fixed.
• You can now add and edit {{DISPLAYTITLE}} and __DISAMBIG__ in the "Opciones de página" menu, rounding out the full set of page options currently planned.
• The tool to insert special characters is now wider and simpler.

Looking ahead

The VisualEditor team has posted a draft of their goals for the next fiscal year. You can read them and suggest changes on MediaWiki.org.

The team posts details about planned work on VisualEditor's roadmap. You will soon be able to drag-and-drop text as well as images. If you drag an image to a new place, it won't let you place it in the middle of a paragraph. All dialog boxes and windows will be simplified based on user testing and feedback. The VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for citations. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments and adding rows and columns to tables.

Supporting your wiki

Please read VisualEditor/Citation tool for information on configuring the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". This menu will not appear unless it has been configured on your wiki.

If you speak a language other than English, we need your help with translating the user guide. The guide is out of date or incomplete for many languages, and what's on your wiki may not be the most recent translation. Please contact us if you need help getting started with translation work on MediaWiki.org.

VisualEditor can be made available to most non-Wikipedia projects. If your community would like to test VisualEditor, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.

Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Saturday, 19 July 2014 at 21:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas and Pacific Islands) or on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 9:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East, Asia).

VisualEditor global newsletter—July and August 2014

The VisualEditor team is currently working mostly to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

Dialog boxes in VisualEditor have been re-designed to use action words instead of icons. This has increased the number of items that need to be translated. The user guide is also being updated.

The biggest visible change since the last newsletter was to the dialog boxes. The design for each dialog box and window was simplified. The most commonly needed buttons are now at the top. Based on user feedback, the buttons are now labeled with simple words (like "Cancel" or "Done") instead of potentially confusing icons (like "<" or "X"). Many of the buttons to edit links, images, and other items now also show the linked page, image name, or other useful information when you click on them.

• Hidden HTML comments (notes visible to editors, but not to readers) can now be read, edited, inserted, and removed. A small icon (a white exclamation mark on a dot) marks the location of each comments. You can click on the icon to see the comment.
• You can now drag and drop text and templates as well as images. A new placement line makes it much easier to see where you are dropping the item. Images can no longer be dropped into the middle of paragraphs.
• All references and footnotes (<ref> tags) are now made through the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu, including the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" (manual formatting) footnotes and the ability to re-use an existing citation, both of which were previously accessible only through the "Insertar" menu. The "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-referencelist-tooltip⧽" is still added via the "Insertar" menu.
• When you add an image or other media file, you are now prompted to add an image caption immediately. You can also replace an image whilst keeping the original caption and other settings.
• All tablet users visiting the mobile web version of Wikipedias will be able to opt-in to a version of VisualEditor from 14 August. You can test the new tool by choosing the beta version of the mobile view in the Settings menu.
• The link tool has a new "Open" button that will open a linked page in another tab so you can make sure a link is the right one.
• The "Cancel" button in the toolbar has been removed based on user testing. To cancel any edit, you can leave the page by clicking the Read tab, the back button in your browser, or closing the browser window without saving your changes.

Looking ahead

The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for adding rows and columns to tables. Work to support Internet Explorer is ongoing.

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Process ideas for software development

’’My apologies for writing in English.’’

Hello,

I am notifying you that a brainstorming session has been started on Meta to help the Wikimedia Foundation increase and better affect community participation in software development across all wiki projects. Basically, how can you be more involved in helping to create features on Wikimedia projects? We are inviting all interested users to voice their ideas on how communities can be more involved and informed in the product development process at the Wikimedia Foundation. It would be very appreciated if you could translate this message to help inform your local communities as well.

I and the rest of my team welcome you to participate. We hope to see you on Meta.

Kind regards, -- Rdicerb (WMF) talk 22:15 21 ago 2014 (UTC)

Change in renaming process

Part or all of this message may be in English. Please help translate if possible.

Single-user login (SUL) finalisation's goal is so that every Wikimedia editor has a single, recognized global account with one username across all projects. As you may know, after a long delay, it's now underway as an effort between bureaucrats, stewards, and Wikimedia Foundation engineers. This will also allow for development of cross-wiki tools like global notifications and watchlists. There is no set date for the completion of single-user login finalization at this time.

The process involves changing all rename processes into one global renaming process. The ability for local bureaucrats to rename users on this wiki will be turned off on Monday, 15 September 2014, as one of the first steps. Global renamers are in the process of being created to make sure projects and languages are represented by the time this occurs. I sent a note to every bureaucrat about this process three weeks ago with an invitation to participate and many have begun requesting to be a part of the group. Together with the stewards, the global renamers will be empowered to help editors work through the often difficult process of getting a global name.

In parting, visit Special:MergeAccount to unify your account if you have never done so. If your local pages about renaming still need to be updated, please do so and consider pointing people to m:SRUC for future rename requests, especially if this project does not have bureaucrats that hold global renamer permissions. If you have any questions, you can read more on the help page on Meta. You can also follow the technical progress on mediawiki.org. Contact me on Meta any time with questions as well. Thank you for your time.

VisualEditor available on Internet Explorer 11

VisualEditor will become available to users of Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 during today's regular software update. Support for some earlier versions of Internet Explorer is being worked on. If you encounter problems with VisualEditor on Internet Explorer, please contact the Editing team by leaving a message at VisualEditor/Feedback on Mediawiki.org. Happy editing, Elitre (WMF) 07:29 11 set 2014 (UTC).

PS. Please subscribe to the global monthly newsletter to receive further news about VisualEditor.

VisualEditor News #8—2014

Did you know?

TemplateData is a separate program that organizes information about the parameters that can be used in a template. VisualEditor reads that data, and uses it to populate its simplified template dialogs.

With the new TemplateData editor, it is easier to add information about parameters, because the ones you need to use are pre-loaded.

See the help page for TemplateData for more information about adding TemplateData. The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing team has reduced technical debt, simplified some workflows for template and citation editing, made major progress on Internet Explorer support, and fixed over 125 bugs and requests. Several performance improvements were made, especially to the system around re-using references and reference lists. Weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org.

There were three issues that required urgent fixes: a deployment error that meant that many buttons didn't work correctly (bugs 69856 and 69864), a problem with edit conflicts that left the editor with nowhere to go (bug 69150), and a problem in Internet Explorer 11 that replaced some categories with a link to the system message MediaWiki:Badtitletext (bug 70894) when you saved. The developers apologize for the disruption, and thank the people who reported these problems quickly.

Increased support for devices and browsers

Internet Explorer 10 and 11 users now have access to VisualEditor. This means that about 5% of Wikimedia's users will now get an "Edit" tab alongside the existing "Edit source" tab. Support for Internet Explorer 9 is planned for the future.

Tablet users browsing the site's mobile mode now have the option of using a mobile-specific form of VisualEditor. More editing tools, and availability of VisualEditor on smartphones, is planned for the future. The mobile version of VisualEditor was tweaked to show the context menu for citations instead of basic references (bug 68897). A bug that broke the editor in iOS was corrected and released early (bug 68949). For mobile tablet users, three bugs related to scrolling were fixed (bug 66697, bug 68828, bug 69630). You can use VisualEditor on the mobile version of Wikipedia from your tablet by clicking on the cog in the top-right when editing a page and choosing which editor to use.

TemplateData editor

The tool for editing TemplateData has been deployed to 30 more Wikipedias this week. Other Wikipedias and some other projects may receive access next month. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template page or a subpage, and then click the "Editar los datos de la plantilla" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.

Other changes

Several interface messages and labels were changed to be simpler, clearer, or shorter, based on feedback from translators and editors. The formatting of dialogs was changed, and more changes to the appearance will be coming soon, when VisualEditor implements the new MediaWiki theme from Design. (A preview of the theme is available on Labs for developers.) The team also made some improvements for users of the Monobook skin that improved the size of text in toolbars and fixed selections that overlapped menus.

VisualEditor-MediaWiki now supplies the mw-redirect and mw-disambig class on links to redirects and disambiguation pages, so that user gadgets that colour in these types of links can be created.

Templates' fields can be marked as 'required' in TemplateData. If a parameter is marked as required, then you cannot delete that field when you add a new template or edit an existing one (bug 60358).

Language support improved by making annotations use bi-directional isolation (so they display correctly with cursoring behaviour as expected) and by fixing a bug that crashed VisualEditor when trying to edit a page with a dir attribute but no lang set (bug 69955).

Looking ahead

The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon, perhaps in late October.

The team is also working on support for adding rows and columns to tables, and early work for this may appear within the month. Please comment on the design at Mediawiki.org.

In the future, real-time collaborative editing may be possible in VisualEditor. Some early preparatory work for this was recently done.

Supporting your wiki

At Wikimania, several developers gave presentations about VisualEditor. A translation sprint focused on improving access to VisualEditor was supported by many people. Deryck Chan was the top translator. Special honors also go to संजीव कुमार (Sanjeev Kumar), Robby, Takot, Bachounda, Bjankuloski06 and Ата. A summary of the work achieved by the translation community is available. Thank you all for your work.

This was the first translatable VisualEditor newsletter, so thanks to everybody who made this possible! If it hasn't been delivered in your language, and you'd like to help with translations in the future, please subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact Elitre (WMF), so that you will be notified when the next issue is due.

VisualEditor can be made available to most non-Wikipedia projects. If your community would like to test VisualEditor, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.

Please join the office hours on Saturday, 18 October 2014 at 18:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas; evening for Africa and Europe) and on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC on IRC.

Meta RfCs on two new global groups

Hello all,

There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review.

We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.

It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Thanks and regards, Ajraddatz (talk) 18:05 26 oct 2014 (UTC)

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

VisualEditor News #9—2014

Did you know?

VisualEditor is also available on the mobile version of Wikipedia. Log in and click the pencil icon to open the page you want to edit. Click on the gear-shaped settings button in the upper-right corner to pick which editor to use. Choose "⧼Mobile-frontend-editor-visual-editor⧽" to use VisualEditor, or "⧼Mobile-frontend-editor-source-editor⧽" to use the wikitext editor.

It will remember whether you used wikitext or VisualEditor, and use the same editor the next time you edit an article.

The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor. Not all features are available on the mobile website.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and requests, and worked on support for editing tables and for using non-Latin languages. Their weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted on Meta.

Recent improvements

Basic support for inserting tables and changing the number of rows and columns in them was just introduced to Wikipedias. Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be added later.

To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus are now hidden behind a "Más" item, such as "Subrayar" in the styling menu.

The French Wikipedia should see better search results for links, templates, and media because the new search engine was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias this week, and the following week at the English Wikipedia.

The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for non-Latin languages, with full support hopefully coming soon.

VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use Internet Explorer 10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet.

The keyboard shortcuts for items in the toolbar menus are now shown in the menus.

VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme from the User Experience/Design group. The appearance of dialog boxes has already changed in the mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon. You are welcome to compare the old "Apex" design and the new "MediaWiki" theme which will replace it.

Several bugs were fixed for internal and external links. Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search engine could not find the page. A link inside a template to a local page that does not exist will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to an error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like [22] with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed.

TemplateData

The tool for quickly editing TemplateData has been deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November. This tool was already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "Editar los datos de la plantilla" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData to learn more about it. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.

You can use the new autovalue setting to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in this example, or to add the most common value for that parameter. The autovalue can be overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field.

In TemplateData, you may define a parameter as "required". The template dialog box in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "sugerido" or "opcional" in TemplateData instead.

Looking ahead

The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. The appearance of the media search dialog will improve, to make picking between possible images easier and more visual. The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap.

The user guide is being updated to add information about editing tables. The translations of the user guide for most languages except Spanish, French, and Dutch are significantly out of date. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language. Talk to us if you need help exporting the translated guide to your wiki.

You can influence VisualEditor's design! Tell the VisualEditor team what you want changed during the office hours via IRC. The next sessions are on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC and on Wednesday 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC. You can also share your ideas at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.

Also, user experience researcher Abbey Ripstra is looking for editors to show her how they edit Wikipedia. Please sign up for the research program if you would like to hear about opportunities.

VisualEditor News #10—2014

Did you know?

Basic table editing is now available in VisualEditor. You can add and remove rows and columns from tables at the click of a button.

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 table editing and performance. Their weekly status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.

VisualEditor was deployed to several hundred remaining wikis as an opt-in beta feature at the end of November, except for most Wiktionaries (which depend heavily upon templates) and all Wikisources (which await integration with ProofreadPage).

Recent improvements

Basic support for editing tables is now available. You can add and delete tables, add and remove rows and columns, set or remove a caption for a table, and merge cells together. To change the contents of a cell, double-click inside it. More features will be added in the coming months. In addition, VisualEditor now ignores broken, invalid rowspan and colspan elements, instead of trying to repair them.

You can now use find and replace in VisualEditor, reachable through the tool menu or by pressing ^ Ctrl+F or ⌘ Cmd+F.

You can now create and edit simple <blockquote> paragraphs for quoting and indenting content. This changes a "Párrafo" into a "Bloque de cita".

Some new keyboard sequences can be used to format content. At the start of the line, typing "* " will make the line a bullet list; "1." or "#" will make it a numbered list; "==" will make it a section heading; ": " will make it a blockquote. If you didn't mean to use these tools, you can press undo to undo the formatting change.

There are also two other keyboard sequences: "[[" for opening the link tool, and "{{" for opening the template tool, to help experienced editors. The existing standard keyboard shortcuts, like ^ Ctrl+K to open the link editor, still work.

If you add a category that has been redirected, then VisualEditor now adds its target. Categories without description pages show up as red.

You can again create and edit galleries as wikitext code.

Looking ahead

The current VisualEditor design will be replaced with a new theme designed by the User Experience group. The new theme will be visible for desktop systems at mediawiki.org in late December and on other sites in early January. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" theme and the new "MediaWiki" one which will replace it.)

The Editing team plans to add auto-fill features for citations in January.

Planned changes to the media search dialog will make choosing between possible images easier.

VisualEditor News #1—2015

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

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

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

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

Looking ahead

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

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

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
• Please help complete translations of the user guide for users who speak your language.
• Join the weekly bug triage meetings beginning Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at 12:00 (noon) PST (20:00 UTC); information about how to join the meeting will be posted at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal shortly before the meeting begins, and you can also contact James F. to learn more about this initiative.

Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.

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

Recent improvements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Looking ahead

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

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

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections

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

Greetings,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

VisualEditor News #3—2015

Did you know?

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

The link tool has been re-designed:

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

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

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

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

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

Let's work together

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

HTTPS

Apologies for writing in English.

Hi everyone.

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

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

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

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.

How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

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

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (discusión) 05:07 24 chul 2015 (UTC)

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming

(Sorry for writing in English)

When using data from Wikidata on Wikipedia and other sister projects, there is currently a limitation in place that hinders some use cases: data can only be accessed from the corresponding item. So, for example, the Wikipedia article about Berlin can only get data from the Wikidata item about Berlin but not from the item about Germany. This had technical reasons. We are now removing this limitation. It is already done for many projects. Your project is one of the next ones. We will roll out this feature here on August 12.

We invite you to play around with this new feature if you are one of the people who have been waiting for this for a long time. If you have technical issues/questions with this you can come to d:Wikidata:Contact the development team.

A note of caution: Please be careful with how many items you use for a single page. If it is too many pages, loading might get slow. We will have to see how the feature behaves in production to see where we need to tweak and how.

How to use it, once it is enabled:

• Parser function: {{#property:P36|from=Q183}} to get the capital from the item about Germany
• Lua: see mw:Extension:Wikibase Client/Lua

Cheers Lydia Pintscher MediaWiki message delivery (discusión) 17:46 3 ago 2015 (UTC)

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is here

(Sorry for writing in English)

Hi everyone,

As I have previously announced here we have now enabled the arbitrary access feature here. This means from now on you can make use of data from any Wikidata item in any article here. Before you could for example only access data about Berlin in the article about Berlin. If you want to find out more or have questions please come to d:Wikidata:Arbitrary access. I hope this will open up great possibilities for you and make your work easier. Cheers Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) 13:32 12 ago 2015 (UTC)

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 "Negrita" and "Cursiva" icons for the styling menu in Phabricator.
• The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.
• The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

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 "Negrita" and "Cursiva" icons for the styling menu in Phabricator.
• The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.
• The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

VisualEditor News #5—2015

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

Did you know?

You can use the visual editor on smartphones and tablets.

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

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

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

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

Recent improvements

Educational features: The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the Enlace 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 "Insertar Imágenes y multimedia" 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 "Borrar" 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 "Editar" and "Modificar codigo" tabs into a single "Editar" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Editar" 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.

Community Wishlist Survey

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

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

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

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

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

We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed

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

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

Your input requested on the proposed #FreeBassel banner campaign

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

Hi everyone,

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for your participation!

Get involved in Wikipedia 15!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

VisualEditor News #6—2015

Did you know?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

Future changes

The single edit tab project will combine the "Editar" and "Modificar codigo" tabs into a single "Editar" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398, T58337) Initially, the "Editar" 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 Edición tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Modo de edición:".

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:
  • Recordar mi último editor,
  • Siempre que sea posible, usar el editor visual,
  • Siempre usar el editor de código, and
  • Mostrarme ambas pestañas de edición. (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).

2016 WMF Strategy consultation

Por favor, ayuda a traducir a tu idioma

Hello, all.

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

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

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

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

VisualEditor News #1—2016

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

Did you know?

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

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

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

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

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

Recent changes

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

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

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

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

Future changes

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

• Recordar mi último editor,
• Siempre que sea posible, usar el editor visual,
• Siempre usar el editor de código, and
• Mostrarme ambas pestañas de edición. (This is the state for people using the visual editor now.)

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

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

Let's work together

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

Durante ese mes queremos recoger fotos de 371 emplazamientos relacionados con la guerra civil, desde restos de fortificaciones a antiguos hospitales, pasando por aeródromos, sedes del gobierno, puertos, campos de prisioneros o refugios.
Sabemos que los lugares de nuestra lista no son todos los que hay, pero hemos intentado ponerlo fácil y dar las indicaciones para llegar.
Y esto es un concurso: tenemos premios.
Podéis inscribiros ya aquí
