I am writing to you to promote a special wiki called [[betawiki:|Betawiki]]. This wiki facilitates the localisation (l10n) of the MediaWiki interface. You may have changed many messages here to use your language in the interface, but if you would log in to for example the Japanese language Wiktionary, you would not be able to use the interface as well translated as here. In fact, of over 1,700 messages in the core of MediaWiki, 187 messages have been translated. Betawiki also supports the translation of messages for well over 100 extensions, with over 1,550 messages. Translators for over 70 languages contribute their work to MediaWiki this way every month. If you wish to contribute to better support of your language in MediaWiki, as well as for many MediaWiki extensions, please visit [[betawiki:Translating:Intro|Betawiki]], [http://translatewiki.net/w/?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup&uselang=en create an account] and [[betawiki:Betawiki:Rights|request translator privileges]]. You can see the current status of localisation of your language on [[mw:Localisation_statistics|MediaWiki.org]] and do not forget to get in touch with others that may already be [[betawiki:Translating:Languages|working on your language on Betawiki]]. If you have any further questions, [[betawiki:User_talk:Siebrand|please let me know on my talk page on Betawiki]]. We will try and assist you as much as possible, for example by [[betawiki:Import requests|importing]] all messages from a local wiki for you to start with, if you so desire. You can also find us on the Freenode [[w:en:Internet Relay Chat|IRC]] network in the channel #mediawiki-i18n where we would be happy to help you get started. Thank you very much for your attention and I do hope to see some of you on [[betawiki:|Betawiki]] soon! Cheers!

Thanks, [[User:GerardM|GerardM]] 13:39, 19 Novemba 2008 (UTC) ==Bot policy== Hello. To facilitate [[m:steward|steward]] granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the [[m:Bot policy|standard bot policy]] on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which form the vast majority of such requests. The policy also enables [[m:Bot policy#Global_bots|global bots]] on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots. This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from [[Project:Bot policy]], and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. Please read the text at [[m:Bot policy]] before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in one week if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. --[[User:Luckas Blade|Luckas Blade]] 14:51, 1 Marisi 2009 (UTC) : Implemented. —<small>[[m:User:Pathoschild|Pathoschild]] 03:26:48, 12 Marisi 2009 (UTC)</small> ==The LocalisationUpdate extension has gone live== The LocalisationUpdate extension is now enabled for all Wikimedia projects. From now on new localisations that become available in SVN will become available to your project within 24 hours. Your localisations get into SVN from [http://translatewiki.net translatewiki.net] typically within a day and at worst in two days. This is a huge improvement from the old practice where the localisations became available with new software. This could take weeks, even months. The localisations done by our community at translatewiki.net are committed to SVN typically every day. When the system messages in English are the same as the local messages, they will now be inserted in a file and are available for use in all our projects in a timely manner ===What this means for you=== Local messages have an impact on the performance of our system. It is best when messages are as much as possible part of the system messages. In order to remove unnecessary duplication, all the messages that have a local localisation and are '''exactly''' the same as the system message will be removed. What we ask you to do is to compare and proof read the messages in translatewiki.net and the local messages. You can then either remove local messages when the translatewiki.net message is to be preferred or, you can update the message at translatewiki.net. Messages that are specific to your project will have to stay as they are. You do want to check if the format and the variables of the message are still the same. ===Why localise at translatewiki.net=== When you localise at translatewiki.net, your messages will be used in all Wikimedia projects and eventually in all MediaWiki based projects. This is how we provide the standard support for your language. When messages change, at translatewiki.net you will be prompted to revisit your translations. Localising is more efficient because we have innovated the process to make you more efficient; there is text explaining about messages and we have applied AJAX technology to reduce the number of clicks you have to make. ==Translatewiki.net update== *Currently 15.80% of the MediaWiki messages and 0.11% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised.

We are now ready to look at other aspects of usability for your language as well. There are two questions we would like you to answer: Are there issues with the new functionality of the Usability Initiative Does MediaWiki support your language properly The best way to answer the first question is to visit the translatewiki.net. Change the language to your language, select the “vector” skin and add the advanced tool bar in in the preferences and check out the new functionality. And make some changes in your user page. When there is a need to improve on the localisation, please make the [http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=ext-ui-0-all necessary changes]s . It should update your localisation straight away. We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_issues. When there are problems with the support of MediaWiki for your language, we really want to know about this. It is best to report each issue separately. In this way there will be no large mass of issues to resolve but we can address each issue on its own. Consider issues with the display of characters, the presentation of your script, the position of the side bar, the combination of text with other languages, scripts. It is best to try this in an environment like the prototype wiki as it provides you with a clean, basic and up to date environment. The prototype wiki is available for five languages but you can select any of them, change the preferences to your language and test out MediaWiki for your language. We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_issues. The issues you raise will all be assessed. It is important to keep each issue separate, because this will make it easier to understand the issues and find solutions. PS This text has been approved by Naoko, Brion and Siebrand.

The phases are: # 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) # infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data) # 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 [http://wikidata-test.wikimedia.de demo version], provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata.

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.

I hope someone can translate this locally. [[d:|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 [[:en:Wikipedia:Wikidata|great page with all the necessary information for editors]] and there is also an [[meta:Wikidata/Deployment Questions|FAQ for this deployment]].

Please translate it if needed to help your community.'' The Wikimedia Foundation's [[mw:Multimedia|multimedia team]] seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the [[w:MP4|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 [[w:MP4|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. [[commons:Commons:Requests for comment/MP4 Video|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 [[m:IRC_office_hours#Upcoming_office_hours|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.

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 [[Special:MyPage/vector.css|personal CSS]], if they prefer a different appearance.

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 [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateData|the help page for TemplateData]] for more information about adding TemplateData. [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User guide|The user guide]] has information about how to use VisualEditor. </div></div> Since the last newsletter, the [[mw:VisualEditor|Editing]] team has reduced technical debt, simplified some workflows for template and citation editing, made major progress on Internet Explorer support, and fixed [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=349619&order=priority%252Cbug_severity&product=VisualEditor&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=VE-deploy-2014-08-14&target_milestone=VE-deploy-2014-08-21&target_milestone=VE-deploy-2014-08-28&target_milestone=VE-deploy-2014-09-04&target_milestone=VE-deploy-2014-09-11&target_milestone=VE-deploy-2014-09-18&target_milestone=VE-deploy-2014-09-25&target_milestone=VE-deploy-2014-10-02 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 [[mw:VisualEditor/status|on Mediawiki.org]]. There were three issues that required urgent fixes: a deployment error that meant that many buttons didn't work correctly (bugs [[bugzilla:69856|69856]] and [[bugzilla:69864|69864]]), a problem with edit conflicts that left the editor with nowhere to go ([[bugzilla:69150|bug 69150]]), and a problem in Internet Explorer 11 that replaced some categories with a link to the system message [[MediaWiki:Badtitletext]] ([[bugzilla:70894|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 ([[bugzilla:68897|bug 68897]]). A bug that broke the editor in iOS was corrected and released early ([[bugzilla:68949|bug 68949]]). For mobile tablet users, three bugs related to scrolling were fixed ([[bugzilla:66697|bug 66697]], [[bugzilla:68828|bug 68828]], [[bugzilla:69630|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 [[mw:Extension:TemplateData|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 "{{int:templatedata-editbutton}}" button at the top. Read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateData|the help page for TemplateData]]. You can test the TemplateData editor [[mw:Template:Sandbox/doc|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 [[toollabs:oojs-ui/oojs-ui/demos/index.html#widgets-mediawiki-vector-ltr|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 <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">mw-redirect</code> and <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">mw-disambig</code> 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 '<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">required</code>' '''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 ([[bugzilla:60358|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 <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">dir</code> attribute but no <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">lang</code> set ([[bugzilla:69955|bug 69955]]). === Looking ahead === The team posts details about planned work on the [[mw:VisualEditor/Roadmap|VisualEditor roadmap]]. The VisualEditor team [[mw:Cite-from-id|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. <mark>Please comment on the design [[:mw:VisualEditor/Design/Table editor#Design Workflow for comments|at Mediawiki.org]].</mark> 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 [[mw:VisualEditor/Translathon#Highlights from the Translathon|summary]] of the work achieved by the translation community is available. Thank you all for your work.

Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "[https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=medium.dblist medium sized wikis]" as well.

Their weekly updates are posted [[mw:VisualEditor/status|on Mediawiki.org]]. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted [[m:WMF_Metrics_and_activities_meetings/Quarterly_reviews/Editing/October_2014|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 "{{int:Ooui-toolbar-more}}" item''', such as "{{int:Visualeditor-annotationbutton-underline-tooltip}}" in the styling menu. The French Wikipedia should see '''better search results''' for links, templates, and media because the [[:mw:Help:CirrusSearch|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 [[mw:Design|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 [[toollabs:oojs-ui/oojs-ui/demos/index.html#widgets-apex-vector-ltr|the old "Apex" design]] and [[toollabs:oojs-ui/oojs-ui/demos/index.html#widgets-mediawiki-vector-ltr|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 [http://example.com] with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed. === TemplateData === '''The tool for quickly editing [[mw:Extension:TemplateData|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 "{{int:templatedata-editbutton}}" button at the top. Read [[mw:Help:TemplateData|the help page for TemplateData]] to learn more about it. You can test the TemplateData editor [[mw:Template:Sandbox/doc|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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=632356794&oldid=632356402 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 "{{int:Templatedata-doc-param-status-suggested}}" or "{{int:Templatedata-doc-param-status-optional}}" in TemplateData instead. === Looking ahead === The VisualEditor team [[mw:Cite-from-id|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 [[mw:VisualEditor/Roadmap|VisualEditor roadmap]]. The [[mw:Help:VisualEditor/User_guide|user guide]] is being updated to add information about editing tables.

You can add and remove rows and columns from tables at the click of a button. [[:mw:VisualEditor/User guide|The user guide]] has more information about how to use VisualEditor. </div> </div> Since the last newsletter, the [[mw:VisualEditor|Editing Team]] has fixed many bugs and worked on table editing and performance. Their weekly status reports are posted [[mw:VisualEditor/status|on mediawiki.org]]. Upcoming plans are posted at the [[mw:VisualEditor/Roadmap|VisualEditor roadmap]]. '''VisualEditor was deployed to several hundred remaining wikis''' as an opt-in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]] at the end of November, except for most Wiktionaries (which depend heavily upon templates) and all Wikisources (which await integration with [[mw:Extension:Proofread Page|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 <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">rowspan</code> and <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">colspan</code> elements, instead of trying to repair them. You can now use '''find and replace''' in VisualEditor, reachable through the tool menu or by pressing <kbd><code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">^ Ctrl</code></kbd>+<kbd><code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">F</code></kbd> or <kbd><code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">⌘ Cmd</code></kbd>+<kbd><code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">F</code></kbd>. You can now create and edit simple <code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"><nowiki><blockquote></nowiki></code> paragraphs for quoting and indenting content. This changes a "{{Int:Visualeditor-formatdropdown-format-paragraph}}" into a "{{Int:Visualeditor-formatdropdown-format-blockquote}}". Some '''new keyboard sequences''' can be used to format content. At the start of the line, typing "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">* </code>" will make the line a bullet list; "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">1.</code>" or "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">#</code>" will make it a numbered list; "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">==</code>" will make it a section heading; "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">: </code>" 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: "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"><nowiki>[[</nowiki></code>" for opening the link tool, and "<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"><nowiki>{{</nowiki></code>" for opening the template tool, to help experienced editors. The existing standard keyboard shortcuts, like <kbd><code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">^ Ctrl</code></kbd>+<code class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">K</code> 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 [[mw:Design|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 [[toollabs:oojs-ui/oojs-ui/demos/index.html#widgets-apex-vector-ltr|the old "Apex" theme]] and [[toollabs:oojs-ui/oojs-ui/demos/index.html#widgets-mediawiki-vector-ltr|the new "MediaWiki" one]] which will replace it.)

Status reports are posted [[mw:VisualEditor/status|on mediawiki.org]]. Upcoming plans are posted at the [[mw:VisualEditor/Roadmap|VisualEditor roadmap]]. The Wikimedia Foundation has named [[:mw:Wikimedia_Engineering/2014-15_Goals#Top_departmental_priorities_for_Q3_.28January-March_2015.29|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. <mark>There will be weekly '''triage meetings '''which''' will be open to volunteers''' beginning Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20150211T12&p1=224&ah=1 12:00 (noon) PST] (20:00 UTC). </mark> Tell Vice President of Engineering [[:foundation:User:Damon_Sicore_(WMF)|Damon Sicore]], Product Manager [[:mw:User:Jdforrester_(WMF)|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|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 [[mw:Frontend standards group|Front-End Standards]] as led by the Design team. Several new versions of the [[mw:OOjs UI|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 {{int:visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog}} dialog: <span style="background-color: #015ccc; color:white"> blue </span>, * takes a constructive action, like inserting a citation: <span style="background-color: #008c6d; color:white"> green </span>, * might remove or lose your work, like removing a link: <span style="background-color: #a7170f; color:white"> red </span>, or * is neutral, like opening a link in a new browser window: <span style="color: 757575"> gray </span>. The '''TemplateData editor''' has been completely re-written to use a different design based on the same OOjs UI system as VisualEditor. ([https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T67815 T67815], [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73746 T73746].) This change fixed a couple of existing bugs and improved usability. ([https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73077 T73077], [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73078 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.([https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78234 T78234].) Editors at the Hebrew and Russian Wikipedia requested the ability to use VisualEditor in the "Article Incubator" or drafts namespace. ([https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86688 T86688], [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87027 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 '''[[mw:Citoid|Citoid service]]''' takes a [[w:URL|URL]] or [[w:en: Digital object identifier|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 [[:en:User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|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 [[:mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts|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|mw:VisualEditor/Feedback]]. *Please help [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Help%3AVisualEditor%2FUser+guide&language=&action=page&filter= complete translations of the user guide] for users who speak your language. *Join the weekly bug triage meetings beginning Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20150211T12&p1=224&ah=1 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 [[mw:User:Jdforrester (WMF)|James F.]] to learn more about this initiative. *Talk to the Editing team during the [[:m:IRC office hours|office hours]] via [[:en:IRC|IRC]].

Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at [[:mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal|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 [[:mw:RESTBase|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 '''[[:mw:Citoid|Citoid service]]''' takes a [[:en:URL|URL]] or [[:en:Digital object identifier|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 [[:en:ISBN|ISBNs]], [[:en:PubMed#PubMed_identifier|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 [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateData|TemplateData]] for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the [[phab:tag/citoid/|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 [[:mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts|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 [[w:input method editor|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 [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Images#Mode parameter|"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. ([https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90734 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 [[:mw:VisualEditor/Special_characters|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.

[[File:Wikimedia Foundation logo - vertical (2012-2016).svg|100px|right]] 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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections 2015/Call for candidates|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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections 2015|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''<br/> 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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/Board elections/2015|the board elections page]]. ''Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)''<br/> 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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/FDC elections/2015|the FDC elections page]]. ''Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud''<br/> 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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/FDC Ombudsperson elections/2015|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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections 2015|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 On behalf of the Elections Committee,<br/> -Gregory Varnum ([[m:User:Varnent|User:Varnent]])<br/> Coordinator, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections 2015/Committee|2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee]] ''Posted by the [[m:User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] on behalf of the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections 2015/Committee|2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee]], 05:03, 21 April 2015 (UTC) • [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections 2015/MassMessages/Accepting nominations|Translate]] • [[m:Talk:Wikimedia Foundation elections 2015|Get help]] <!-- Message sent by User:Varnent@metawiki using the list at http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Distribution_list/Global_message_delivery&oldid=11918510 --> == Content Translation now available as a beta feature on this Wikipedia == <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Hello, we enabled [[mw:Content_translation|Content Translation]] today as a beta feature on this Wikipedia. Content Translation is a tool that will help editors quickly create new articles by translating from a Wikipedia page in another language. The tool is currently in use in over [[mw:Content_translation/Languages#Available_languages|40 Wikipedias]] as a beta feature. To start translating, you will have to enable the beta feature and go to [[Special:ContentTranslation]] or to your contributions page and create a new translation by selecting the source language, the article name you wish to translate and target language i.e. the language of the new article you are creating. If the article already exists then a warning will be displayed. After you translate the article, you can publish it directly as a new page on the Wikipedia. In case the article gets created by another user while you were translating, you will see an option to save the newly published translation under your user namespace. The number of published pages can be seen on the [[Special:CXStats|Content Translation stats page]]. Since, this is the first time we have installed the tool on this Wikipedia, there are chances that there may be some problems or service disruptions which we are not yet aware of. We will be monitoring the usage to check for any failures or issues, but please do let us know on the [[:mw:Talk:Content_translation|Content Translation talk page]] or through [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97540 Phabricator] if you spot any problems that prevent you from using the tool. For more information, please read [[:mw:Content_translation#Try_the_tool|about how to use the tool]].

Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted [[mw:VisualEditor/changelog|on mediawiki.org]]. The worklist for April through June is available [[phab:project/sprint/board/1113/|in Phabricator]]. A [[m:Research:VisualEditor's_effect_on_newly_registered_editors/May_2015_study|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 [[m:Research:VisualEditor's_effect_on_newly_registered_editors/May_2015_study#Results|results will be posted at Meta]] later this month. === Recent improvements === '''Auto-fill features''' '''for citations''' are available at a few Wikipedias through the '''[[:mw:Citoid|citoid service]]'''. Citoid takes a [[:en:URL|URL]] or [[:en:Digital object identifier|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 ({{int:citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto}}, {{int: citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual}}, or {{int:citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse}}). The cite button is now labeled with the word "{{int:visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label}}" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "{{Int: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. ([[phab:T98085|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 [[mw:VisualEditor/Special_characters|at mediawiki.org]]. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. ([[phab:T70425|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 "{{Int:visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param}}" each time they want to add another parameter. ([[phab:T95696|T95696]]) The team added a '''new property for TemplateData''', "{{int: templatedata-doc-param-example}}", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. ([[phab:T53049|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 [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=VisualEditor/Feedback&lqt_method=talkpage_new_thread 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|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 [[phab:tag/editing_department_2014_15_q4_blockers/|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 [[:m:User:Jdforrester (WMF)|James Forrester]]. * If you would like to request the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki, please post a request in the [[phab:tag/citoid/|Citoid project on Phabricator]].

Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. ([[phab:T70425|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 "{{Int:visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param}}" each time they want to add another parameter. ([[phab:T95696|T95696]]) The team added a '''new property for TemplateData''', "{{int: templatedata-doc-param-example}}", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. ([[phab:T53049|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 [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=VisualEditor/Feedback&lqt_method=talkpage_new_thread 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|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 [[phab:tag/editing_department_2014_15_q4_blockers/|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 [[:m:User:Jdforrester (WMF)|James Forrester]]. * If you would like to request the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki, please post a request in the [[phab:tag/citoid/|Citoid project on Phabricator]]. Include links to the [[:mw:Help:TemplateData|TemplateData]] for the most important citation templates on your wiki. *The team is planning the second VisualEditor-related "translathon" for July.

Hi everyone.

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. [https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 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.

Their workboard is available [[phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]]. Their [[mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|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 [[c:File:How_we_made_VisualEditor_faster.pdf|VisualEditor]] and the [[:c:File:Wikimania_2015_–_Editing_Department_–_Beyond_Editing.pdf|future of editing]]. Following Wikimania, we announced winners for the [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Project:VisualEditor/2015_Translathon VisualEditor 2015 Translathon]. Our thanks and congratulations to users ''Halan-tul'', ''Renessaince'', ''<span lang="ne" dir="ltr">जनक राज भट्ट</span> (Janak Bhatta)'', ''Vahe Gharakhanyan'', ''Warrakkk'', and ''Eduardogobi''. For '''interface messages''' (translated at [https://translatewiki.net 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%). [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Project:VisualEditor/2015_Translathon#Graphs_(interface_messages_only) 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 '''[[:mw:Citoid|citoid service]]''' to convert a [[:en:URL|URL]] or [[:en:Digital object identifier|DOI]] into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, [[mediawikiwiki:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/GIFs#Auto-citing_a_source|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 [[mediawikiwiki:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling_Citoid_on_your_wiki|instructions at mediawiki.org]]. Your wiki can customize the first section of the '''special character inserter''' in VisualEditor. Please follow the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Special_characters|instructions at mediawiki.org]] to put the characters you want at the top. In other changes, if you need to fill in a [[:mw:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHA]] and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:Graph|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 [[m:Research:VisualEditor's_effect_on_newly_registered_editors/May_2015_study|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 [[mediawikiwiki:Wikimedia_Research/Showcase#July_2015|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|mw:VisualEditor/Feedback]]. This feedback page is now using [[mw:Flow|Flow]] instead of LiquidThreads. * <mark>Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese?</mark> Language engineer [[mw:User:DChan (WMF)|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 [[mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test|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 "{{Int:visualeditor-annotationbutton-bold-tooltip}}" and "{{Int:visualeditor-annotationbutton-italic-tooltip}}" icons for the styling menu [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=PHID-PROJ-dafezmpv6huxg3taml24 in Phabricator]. * The design research team wants to see how real editors work.

Inside that, use the gear menu in the upper right corner to "{{int:mobile-frontend-editor-switch-visual-editor}}". 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. <br><br>You can read and help translate [[:mw:VisualEditor/User guide|the user guide]], which has more information about how to use the visual editor. </div></div> Since the last newsletter, the [[mw:VisualEditor|VisualEditor Team]] has fixed many bugs, added new features, and made some small design changes. They post weekly status reports [[mw:VisualEditor/changelog|on mediawiki.org]]. Their workboard is available [[phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]]. Their [[mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|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 {{Int:visualeditor-annotationbutton-link-tooltip}} and {{Int:visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label}} tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. ([[Phab:T108620|T108620]]) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. ([[Phab:T112354|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. ([[Phab:T74108|T74108]], [[Phab:T91285|T91285]]) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. ([[Phab:T109498|T109498]], [[Phab:T110347|T110347]], [[Phab:T63558|T63558]]) These [[:en:Help:Magic_links|"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 "{{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}} {{int:visualeditor-dialogbutton-media-tooltip}}" 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. ([[Phab:T85630|T85630]]) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. ([[Phab:T111894|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 "{{int:Visualeditor-contextitemwidget-label-remove}}" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. ([[Phab:T62110|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. ([[Phab:T112925|T112925]]) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. ([[Phab:T114227|T114227]], [[Phab:T113354|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. ([[phab:T49779|T49779]]) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a '''single edit tab.''' ([[phab:T102398|T102398]]) This project will combine the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. === Let's work together === * Share your ideas and ask questions at [[:mw:VisualEditor/Feedback|VisualEditor/Feedback]].

Hi everyone, This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner/Straw poll|straw poll seeking your involvement]] has just been started on Meta-Wiki.

An exemplary [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner|banner]] and an [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner|explanatory page]] have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators. We are seeking [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner/Straw poll|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 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner/Straw poll|get involved with the poll and the discussion]] to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

Their workboard is available [[phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]]. Their [[mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|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. ([[phab:T118616|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 "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. ([[phab:T102398|T102398]], [[phab:T58337|T58337]]) Initially, the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.

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.

Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, [[:m:2016 Strategy/Community consultation|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!

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 '''[[:mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab|single edit tab]]''' project will combine the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab.

(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 [[:mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts|"Phase 6" Wikipedias]] during the next few months. This will affect the following languages, amongst others: [[:w:ja: |'''Japanese''']], [[:w:ko:|'''Korean''']], [[:w:ur: |'''Urdu''']], [[:w:fa: |'''Persian''']], [[:w:ar: |'''Arabic''']], [[:w:ta: |'''Tamil''']], [[:w:mr: |'''Marathi''']], [[:w:ml: |'''Malayalam''']], [[:w:hi: |'''Hindi''']], [[:w:bn: |'''Bengali''']], [[:w:as: |'''Assamese''']], [[:w:th: |'''Thai''']], [[:w:arc: |'''Aramaic''']]. === Let's work together === * Please try out the newest version of the '''[[:mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab|single edit tab]]''' on [[test2wiki:Special:Random|test2.wikipedia.org]].

This will make sure Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems. They will switch all traffic to the new data center on '''Tuesday, 19 April'''.<br/> On '''Thursday, 21 April''', they will switch back to the primary data center. Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Manual:What is MediaWiki?|MediaWiki]], all editing must stop during those two switches. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future. '''You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.''' *You will not be able to edit for approximately 15 to 30 minutes on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT). If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case. ''Other effects'': *Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped. *There will be a code freeze for the week of 18 April. No non-essential code deployments will take place. This test was originally planned to take place on March 22. April 19th and 21st are the new dates.

Their workboard is available [[phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]]. Their [[:mw:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|current priorities]] are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources. === Recent changes === The visual editor is now available to all users at most [[Wikivoyage:|Wikivoyages]]. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews. The '''[[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Single edit tab|single edit tab]]''' feature combines the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "{{int:prefs-editing}}" tab of [[Special:Preferences]]. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people. === Future changes === The "{{int:Savearticle}}" button will say "{{int:Publishpage}}". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More [[M:Editing/Publish|information is available on Meta]]. The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining [[:mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts|"Phase 6" Wikipedias]] during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at [[:mw:Topic:St8y4ni42d0vr9cv|the feedback thread on mediawiki.org]]. This will affect several languages, including: [[:w:ar: |'''Arabic''']], [[:w:hi: |'''Hindi''']], [[:w:th: |'''Thai''']], [[:w:ta: |'''Tamil''']], [[:w:mr: |'''Marathi''']], [[:w:ml: |'''Malayalam''']], [[:w:ur: |'''Urdu''']], [[:w:fa: |'''Persian''']], [[:w:bn: |'''Bengali''']], [[:w:as: |'''Assamese''']], [[:w:arc: |'''Aramaic''']] and others. The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. ([[phab:T138966|T138966]]) The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a [[mediawikiwiki:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Roadmap/Update_2016-06-23|general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list]]. === Let's work together === * Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help [[:mw:Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki]]?

The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131132][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T139033] This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|Tech News]] when it happens. If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translations&namespace=8&message=Publishpage “'''<bdi>{{int:Publishpage}}</bdi>'''”] and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translations&namespace=8&message=Publishchanges “'''<bdi>{{int:Publishchanges}}</bdi>'''”]. The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translations&namespace=8&message=Savearticle “<bdi>{{int:Savearticle}}</bdi>”] would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “<bdi>{{int:Savearticle}}</bdi>” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem. Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The [[:m:Legal|Legal team]] at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise. Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes <code><nowiki>{{int:Publishpage}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{int:Publishchanges}}</nowiki></code> to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in [[Special:Preferences|your account preferences]], these wikitext codes produce “<bdi>{{int:Publishpage}}</bdi>” and “<bdi>{{int:Publishchanges}}</bdi>”.

You may already have heard about [[:meta:Wikipdia_to_the_Moon|Wikipedia to the Moon]]: A team of scientists called the “PT Scientists” are going to send a space craft to the moon in 2017 and they want to take Wikipedia along with them. Because Wikipedia is so big, we cannot send all of it to the moon. That is why the international Wikipedia-community has voted to send all “Featured Articles and Featured Lists“ from all languages in Wikipedia. [[:en:Wikipedia:Featured_articles|“Featured Articles“]] is a category in many language versions of Wikipedia that collects the very best articles in that language. Your community does not currently have a „Featured Articles“ category. Ideally, we want to take every language on Wikipedia to the moon and we also want to take the best articles in your language. That is why we would like ''you'' to tell us what the very best articles in your language are. There are two ways you could do this: :1) You could introduce the categories “Featured Article” and “Featured List” in your language version of Wikipedia and vote for the best articles and put them in the category. We will take every article that is tagged as a “Featured Article” or a “Featured List” to the moon :2) You could vote for the best articles in your language version of Wikipedia and put them all on one a new Wikipedia page. If you let us know where we can find that list [[:meta:Wikipedia_to_the_Moon/Working|here]], we will also take the articles to the moon. The deadline for Wikipedia to the Moon is 31 October 2016. After that date, we will put all the Featured Articles and Lists onto a special disc and give it to the “PT Scientists.” They will take the Wikipedia articles into space next year. --[[User:Denis Schroeder (WMDE)|Denis Schroeder (WMDE)]] ([[User talk:Denis Schroeder (WMDE)|talk]]) 14:37, 17 Gwamunaana 2016 (UTC) == New Wikipedia Library accounts available now (August 2016) == <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Hello Wikimedians!

Please [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|go try it out]]. We in the Wikimedia Foundation's Editing department are responsible for making editing better for all our editors, new and experienced alike. We've been slowly improving [[:mw:VisualEditor|the visual editor]] based on feedback, user tests, and feature requests. However, that doesn't work for all our user needs: whether you need to edit a wikitext talk page, create a template, or fix some broken reference syntax, sometimes you need to use wikitext, and many experienced editors prefer it. Consequently, we've planned a "wikitext mode" for the visual editor for a long time. It provides as much of the visual editor's features as possible, for those times that you need or want wikitext. It has the same user interface as the visual editor, including the same toolbar across the top with the same buttons. It provides access to the [[:mw:citoid|citoid service]] for formatting citations, integrated search options for inserting images, and the ability to add new templates in a simple dialog. Like in the visual editor, if you paste in formatted text copied from another page, then formatting (such as bolding) will automatically be converted into wikitext. All wikis now have access to this mode as a [[:mw:Beta Features|Beta Feature]]. When enabled, it replaces your existing [[:mw:Editor|wikitext editor]] everywhere. If you don't like it, you can reverse this at any time by turning off the Beta Feature in your preferences. We don't want to surprise anyone, so it's strictly an ''opt-in-only'' Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "{{Int:Betafeatures-auto-enroll}}". The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the [[:mw:Extension:WikiEditor|current wikitext editor]]). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and ''vice versa''), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to [[:mw:VisualEditor/Gadgets|work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work]] with both editors. We're not planning to get rid of the current main wikitext editor on desktop in the foreseeable future. We're also not going to remove the existing ability to edit plain wikitext without JavaScript. Finally, though it should go without saying, if you prefer to continue using the current wikitext editor, then you may so do. This is an early version, and we'd love to know what you think so we can make it better. Please leave feedback about the new mode [[:mw:2017 wikitext editor/Feedback|on the feedback page]]. You may write comments in any language. Thank you. </div> [[:mw:User:Jdforrester (WMF)|James Forrester]] (Product Manager, Editing department, Wikimedia Foundation) --19:31, 14 Gwakkuminebiri 2016 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:Elitre (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Distribution_list/Global_message_delivery&oldid=15942009 --> == Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process == <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ''Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here. This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard. The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.

To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Manual:What is MediaWiki?|MediaWiki]], all editing must stop during those two switches. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

Page previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. For this project, we are expecting to collect feedback over the following few weeks and tentatively enable the feature in early May, 2017. A quick note on the implementation: * For logged-in users who are not currently testing out the beta feature, Page previews will be off by default. Users may turn them on from [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|their user preferences]] page. * For logged-out users, the feature will be on by default. Users may disable it at any time by selecting the setting cog available in each preview. * For users of the Navigation popups gadget, you will not be able to turn on the Page previews feature while using navigational popups.

It’d be great if someone could translate this message if necessary. One of the most requested features for Wikidata is to enable editing of Wikidata’s data directly from Wikipedia, so the editors can continue their workflow without switching websites. The Wikidata development team has been working on a tool to achieve this goal: '''fill and edit the Wikipedia infoboxes with information from Wikidata, directly on Wikipedia''', via the Visual Editor. We already [[d:Wikidata:Client editing input|asked for feedback in 2015]], and collected some interesting ideas which we [[:File:Facilitating_the_use_of_Wikidata_in_Wikimedia_projects_with_a_user-centered_design_approach.pdf|shared with you in this thesis]]. Now we would like to present to you our first prototype and collect your feedback, in order to improve and continue the development of this feature. We present this work to you very early, so we can include your feedback before and all along the development. You are the core users of this feature, so we want to make sure that it fits your needs and editing processes. You will find the prototype, description of the features, and a demo video, '''[[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Client editing prototype|on this page]]'''. Feel free to add any comment or feedback on the talk page. The page is currently not translated in every languages, but you can add your contribution by helping to translate it. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to follow all the discussions on Wikipedia, so if you want to be sure that your feedback is read, please add it on the Wikidata page, in your favorite language.

They allow readers using the Wikipedia app to bookmark pages into folders to read later. This includes reading offline. Reading lists do not create or alter content in any way. To create Reading Lists, app users will register an account and marked pages will be tied to that account. Reading List account preferences sync between devices. You can read the same pages on different mobile platforms (tablets, phones). This is the first time we are syncing preference data between devices in such a way. We want to hear and address concerns about privacy and data security. We also want to explain why the current watchlist system is not being adapted for this purpose. === Background === In 2016 the Android team replaced the simple Saved Pages feature with Reading Lists. Reading Lists allow users to bookmark pages into folders and for reading offline. The intent of this feature was to allow "syncing" of these lists for users with many devices. Due to overlap with the Gather feature and related community concerns, this part was put on hold. The Android team has identified this lack of synching as a major area of complaint from users. They expect lists to sync. The iOS team has held off implementing Reading Lists, as syncing was seen as a "must have" for this feature. A recent [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164990 technical RfC] has allowed these user stories and needs to be unblocked. Initially for Android, then iOS, and with web to potentially follow. Reading lists are private, stored as part of a user's account, not as a public wiki page. There is no sharing or publishing ability for reading lists. No planned work to make these public. The target audience are people that read Wikipedia and want to bookmark and organize that content in the app. There is a potential for the feature to be available on the web in the future. === Why not watchlists === Watchlists offer similar functionality to Reading Lists. The Reading Infrastructure team evaluated watchlist infrastructure before exploring other options. In general, the needs of watchlists differ from Reading Lists in a few key ways: * Reading lists focus on Reading articles, not the monitoring of changes. * Watchlists are focused on monitoring changes of pages/revisions. ** The Watchlist infrastructure is key to our contributor community for monitoring content changes manually and through the use of automated tools (bots). Because of these needs, expanding the scope of Watchlists to reading purposes will only make the project harder to maintain and add more constraints. * By keeping the projects separate it is easier to scale resources. We can serve these two different audiences and prioritize the work accordingly. Reading Lists are, by their nature, less critical to the health of Wikipedia/MediaWiki. * Multi-project support. Reading Lists are by design cross-wiki/project. Watchlists are tied to specific wikis. While there have been many discussion for making them cross-wiki, resolution is not in the near term.

Currently, most Wikipedias don’t have mapframe. But [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Maps#Milestones_and_Updates|fifteen Wikipedias]], along with all the other Wikimedia projects, are using mapframe today to display maps on thousands of pages. A little background: over the last few months, the Foundation’s [[mw:Collaboration|Collaboration team]] has been working to improve the stability and user experience of the maps service. In addition, a question about long-term support for the maps service was recently settled, and a small team has been assigned for routine maintenance. Given these developments, bringing the benefits of mapframe to Wikipedias that lack the feature seems both safe and supportable. [[phab:T191583|Nine Wikipedias]] that use a stricter version of Flagged Revisions will not get mapframe in this release. Maps are a valuable form of visual data that can improve readers’ understanding across a wide range of topics. If you know of any reasons why mapframe shouldn’t be implemented on your Wikipedia, let us know [[mw:Talk:Map_improvements_2018|on the project talk page]].

The [[mw:Reading/Web/Team|Readers web team]] has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues. So far, we have [[mw:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile Page Issues|drafted a proposal on the design and implementation]] of the project. We were also able to run [[mw:Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile Page Issues/Research Results|user testing on the proposed designs]]. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned: * The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode. * Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work * Readers care about page issues and consider them important * Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development.

The team working on TemplateStyles at the Wikimedia Foundation would like to enable TemplateStyles on this wiki. TemplateStyles is a feature to allow non-administrators to write and manage CSS styles for templates. It allows contributors who edit templates to separate content and presentation. A good web practice that makes it easier to manage the layout of templates. If you don't edit templates, this will not have any impact on your contributions. TemplateStyles is useful for a few reasons. * It makes it possible for templates to work better on mobile. * It cuts out confusion on where to apply CSS rules. * Editing CSS is currently limited to administrators, which is a major barrier to participation. * All stylesheets must be loaded on all pages (whether they actually use the page or not), which wastes bandwidth and makes debugging style rules more difficult. You can [[mw:Help:TemplateStyles|learn more about TemplateStyles on MediaWiki.org]]. [[mw:Extension:TemplateStyles|Technical documentation is also available]].

We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions: ## When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you? ## What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them? ## What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages? ## What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations? ## What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"? # Finally, please go to [[mw:Talk:Talk pages consultation 2019|Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org]] and report what you learned from your group.

The data is stored in Wikidata and displayed, partially or completely, in the Wikipedia’s language, on the articles. This feature is used by many template editors, but brought several issues that were raised by communities in various places: not being able to edit the data directly from Wikipedia was one of them. This is the reason why the '''[[mw:Wikidata Bridge|Wikidata Bridge]]''' project started, with the goal of offering a way to Wikipedia editors to edit Wikidata’s data more easily. This will be achieved by an interface, connected to the infobox, that users can access directly from their local wiki. The project is now at an early stage of development. A lot of [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge/Research|user research]] has been done, and will continue to be done through the different phases of the project. The next steps of [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge/Development|development]] will be achieved by the development team working at Wikimedia Deutschland, starting now until the end of 2019. In order to make sure that we’re building a tool that is answering editors’ needs, we’re using agile methods in our development process. We don’t start with a fixed idea of the tool we want to deliver: we will build it together with the editors, based on feedback loops that we will regularly organize. The first version will not necessarily have all of the features you want, but it will keep evolving. Here’s the planned timeline: * From June to August, we will build the setup and technical groundwork. * From September to November 2019, we will develop the first version of the feature and publish a test system so you can try it and give feedback. * Later on, we will test the feature on a few projects, in collaboration with the communities. ** We will first focus on early adopters communities who already implemented a shortcut from their infoboxes to edit Wikidata (for example Russian, Catalan, Basque Wikipedias) ** but we also welcome also communities who [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge/Get_involved|volunteer to be part of the first test round]]. ** Then we will reach some of the big Wikipedias (French, German, English) in order to see if the project scales and to address their potentially different needs. ** Even later, we can consider enabling the feature on all the other projects. In any case, no deployment or big change will be enforced on the projects without talking to the communities first, and helping the template builders to prepare for the changes they will have to do on the infoboxes’ code. If you want to get involved, there are several ways to help: * Read and help translating [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge|the documentation pages]] * Follow the [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge/Updates|updates]] and participate in [[mw:Topic:V1x2lxtu8rgi954a|the first feedback loop]] * Talk about it with your local community More ideas will be added [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge/Get_involved|on this page]] along the way If you have any questions for the development team, feel free to ask them [[mw:Talk:Wikidata_Bridge|on the main talk page]].

The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements|improvements to the desktop interface]] over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects. We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes. We would like individual feedback on the following: * Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered * Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know * Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building. When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project: * Make it easier for readers to focus on the content * Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing) * Put things in logical and useful places * Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps * Eliminate clutter * Plan for future growth As well as the following constraints: * Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves * Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain * No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors Please give all feedback (in any language) at [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements|mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements]] After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive.

Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia == <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> Hi all, It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new. This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 <ref>[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]</ref> after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world. The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language. As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation <ref>[[m:User:Denny|User:Denny]]</ref>. We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams. It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project. We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions. There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list <ref>[[mail:abstract-wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia mailing list]]</ref>. We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path.

They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work? Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page. Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's [[m:WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Move_files_to_Commons/Configuration_file_documentation|configuration file]] which is created and maintained by each local wiki community. Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.

According to [[:m:Bot_policy/Implementation#Where_it_is_policy|the list]], your wiki project currently is opted in to the [[:m:Bot_policy#Global_bots|global bot policy]]. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards. As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links. A [[:m:Requests for comment/Refine global bot policy|proposal]] was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, [[:m:GS|global sysops]] and [[:m:GR|global renamers]], and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like [[:m:User:ListeriaBot|ListeriaBot]].

This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.

I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: [[:m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally]]. In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC. This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like <tt>WP:NPOV</tt>, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first. As far as I can see, {{SITENAME}} currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community. I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see [[:m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally]].

The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor. The key results were: * Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were [https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/ more likely] to post a comment on a talk page. * The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also [https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/ less likely] to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing. These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful. <strong>Looking ahead</strong> The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months.

Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the [[:meta:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee|Elections Committee]] completes their review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board. 6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the [[:meta:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Stats|data produced during the election]]. Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time.

We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well. Summary: <div style="font-style:italic;"> We will be running the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey|Community Wishlist Survey]] 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Sandbox|dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes]]. </div> === Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year === In the past, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Tech|Community Tech]] team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2021|Wishlist for 2021]] in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published. However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2020|Wishlist for 2020]]. We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist. === Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities === We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes. === A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet === We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Community Wishlist Survey|talk page]], but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe. We will begin our first meeting '''September 15th at 23:00 UTC'''. More details about the agenda and format coming soon! === Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase === If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Sandbox|new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox]]. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes! === Feedback === * What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages? * How would you like to use our new [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Sandbox|sandbox?]] * What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022? * What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?

After the conclusion of the community vote on the guidelines in March, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs committee (CAC)]] of the Board [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/JAYQN3NYKCHQHONMUONYTI6WRKZFQNSC/ asked that several areas of the guidelines be reviewed for improvements] before the Board does its final review. These areas were identified based on community discussions and comments provided during the vote. The CAC also requested review of the controversial Note in 3.1 of the UCoC itself. Once more, a big thank you to all who voted, especially to all who left constructive feedback and comments! The project team is working with the Board to establish a timeline for this work, and will communicate this next month. Members of the two prior [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee|UCoC Drafting Committees]] have generously offered their time to help shape improvements to the Guidelines. You can read more about them and their work [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee#Revisions_Committee|here]], as well as read [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Drafting_committee/Phase_2_meeting_summaries#2022|summaries of their weekly meetings in 2022]]. Wikimedians have provided many valuable comments together with the vote and in other conversations. Given the size and diversity of the Wikimedia community, there are even more voices out there who can give ideas on how to improve the enforcement guidelines and add even more valuable ideas to the process. To help the Revisions committee identify improvements, input on several questions for the committee’s review is requested.

I'm writing on behalf of the [[mw:Reading/Web|Wikimedia Foundation Web team]]. '''In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.''' We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average [[phab:T317529#8246686|87% of active logged-in users]] of those wikis use Vector 2022. It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|any other skins]]. No changes are expected for users of these skins. <div style="width:100%; margin:auto;"><gallery widths="220" heights="150" mode="packed" caption="Top of an article"> Screenshot Historia da moeda do Tíbet - 2022-09-22 - Vector 2010 top.png|Vector legacy (current default) Screenshot Historia da moeda do Tíbet - 2022-09-22 - Vector 2022 top.png|Vector 2022 </gallery><gallery widths="220" heights="150" mode="packed" caption="A section of an article"> Screenshot Historia da moeda do Tíbet - 2022-09-22 - Vector 2010 scrolled.png|Vector legacy (current default) Screenshot Historia da moeda do Tíbet - 2022-09-22 - Vector 2022 scrolled.png|Vector 2022 </gallery></div> === About the skin === '''[Why is a change necessary]''' The current default skin meets the needs of the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects. [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/08/18/prioritizing-equity-within-wikipedias-new-desktop/ The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.] '''[Objective]''' The objective for the new skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It draws inspiration from previous requests, the [[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey|Community Wishlist Surveys]], and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. [[phab:phame/post/view/290/how_and_why_we_moved_our_skins_to_mustache/|We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%]]. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs. '''[Changes and test results]''' The skin introduces a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Features|series of changes]] that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin. * The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%. * The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jumped to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages. * The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the wikis we tested on. * The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities. '''[Try it out]''' Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|your preferences]] and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins. === How can editors change and customize this skin? === It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Repository|our repository]] for a list of currently available customizations, or add your own. === Our plan === '''If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022'''. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar. <div style="text-align: center;">[[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements|<span class="plainlinks mw-ui-button">Request for more time to discuss the change</span>]]</div> If you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements|talk page of the project]].

The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Content|here]] on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Community Consultation|here]]. With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three '''“Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter"''' sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback. The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events: *<s>'''Asia/Pacific''': November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1667552400 your local time]).

The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed. '''About the Ombuds commission''' The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Oversight]] (also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles, '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki]]'''. Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve '''two-year terms''' (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year). '''About the Case Review Committee''' The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. For more about the role, '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Case Review Committee|see Case Review Committee on Meta-Wiki]]'''. We are looking for current or former functionaries and experienced volunteers with an interest in joining this group. Applicants must be fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus) and willing to abide by the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Trust_and_Safety/Case_Review_Committee/Charter|terms of the Committee charter]]. If the work resonates and you qualify, please apply. Committee members will serve '''two-year terms''' (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year). '''Applying to join either of these groups''' Members are required to sign the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information|Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information]] and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Access to nonpublic information policy|access to non-public information policy]] and the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Privacy policy|Foundation privacy policy]]). These positions requires a high degree of discretion and trust. Members must also be over 18 years of age. '''If you are interested in serving in either capacity listed above,''' please write in English to the Trust and Safety team at ca[[File:At sign.svg|16x16px|link=|(_AT_)]]wikimedia.org (to apply to the OC) or to the Legal Team at legal[[File:At sign.svg|16x16px|link=|(_AT_)]]wikimedia.org (to apply to the CRC) with information about: * Your primary projects * Languages you speak/write * Any experience you have serving on committees, whether movement or non-movement * Your thoughts on what you could bring to the OC or CRC if appointed * Any experience you have with the Checkuser or Oversight tools (OC only) * Any other information you think is relevant '''The deadline for applications is 31 December 2022 in any timezone.'''

This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a [[:c:Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2024|Wiki Loves Folklore]] gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia. You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles. Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project: # Create a page for the contest on the local wiki. # Set up a campaign on '''CampWiz''' tool. # Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes. # Request local admins for site notice. # Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the [[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2024/Project Page|meta project page]]. This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the '''Article List Generator by Topic''' and '''CampWiz'''. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.

This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a [[:c:Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2025|Wiki Loves Folklore]] gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia. You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles. Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project: # Create a page for the contest on the local wiki. # Set up a campaign on '''CampWiz''' tool. # Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes. # Request local admins for site notice. # Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the [[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2025/Project Page|meta project page]]. This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the '''Article List Generator by Topic''' and '''CampWiz'''. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.

We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them. As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]]. After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki. The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org. If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread.

The [[mediawikiwiki:Wikimedia_Language_and_Product_Localization|WMF Language and Product Localization]] team proposes enabling an entry point called "Contribute" to your Wikipedia. The [[:bn:বিশেষ:Contribute|Contribute]] entry point is based on collaborative work with other product teams in the Wikimedia Foundation on [[mediawikiwiki:Edit_Discovery|Edit discovery]], which validated the entry point as a persistent and constant path that contributors took to discover ways to contribute content in Wikipedia. Therefore, enabling this entry point in your Wikipedia will help contributors quickly discover available tools and immediately click to start using them. This entry point is designed to be a central point for discovering contribution tools in Luganda Wikipedia. '''Who can access it''' Once it is enabled in your Wikipedia, newcomers can access the entry point automatically by just logging into their account, click on the User drop-down menu and choose the "Contribute" icon, which takes you to another menu where you will find a self-guided description of what you can do to contribute content, as shown in the image below. An option to "view contributions" is also available to access the list of your contributions. [[File:Mobile_Contribute_Page.png|Mobile Contribute Page]] [[File:Mobile_contribute_menu_(detailed).png|Mobile contribute menu (detailed)]] For experienced contributors, the Contribute icon is not automatically shown in their User drop-down menu. They will still see the "Contributions" option unless they change it to the "Contribute" manually. We have gotten valuable feedback that helped us improve its discoverability. Now, it is ready to be enabled in other Wikis. One major improvement was to [[phab:T369041|make the entry point optional for experienced contributors]] who still want to have the "Contributions" entry point as default.           We plan to enable it '''on mobile''' for Wikis, where the Section translation tool is enabled. In this way, we will provide a main entry point to the mobile translation dashboard, and the exposure can still be limited by targeting only the mobile platform for now. If there are no objections to having the entry point for mobile users from your community, we will enable it by 10th June 2025. We welcome your feedback and questions in this thread on our proposal to enable it here. Suppose there are no objections, we will deploy the "Contribute" entry point in your Wikipedia. We look forward to your response soon. Thank you! On behalf of the WMF Language and Product Localization team.

Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote.

Please help translate to your language.)'' The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikipedias, including this wiki, during the '''week of June 23rd'''. This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable. The three main features of this extension are: * '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki. * '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''. * '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions. '''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this wiki. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment. The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''Meta, Wikidata, English Wikipedia''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]]) If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]].

A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity. Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact. Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement. Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate. Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended. === Wikispore === The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects. After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support. We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future. As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting. Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed. === Wikinews === We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways. Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years. While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? <nowiki>[6]</nowiki>]. [[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews. Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs. SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives. '''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to: *Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects, *Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace, *Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects, *Archive Wikinews projects. Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels. === Feedback and next steps === We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language. I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions. <section end="message"/> </div> -- [[User:Victoria|Victoria]] on behalf of the Sister Project Task Force, 20:56, 27 Gwamukaaga(Ssebaaseka) 2025 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:Johan (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Johan_(WMF)/Sister_project_MassMassage_on_behalf_of_Victoria/Target_list&oldid=28911188 --> == Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes == ''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)'' Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists.

We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''. Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate. '''Why we are building temporary accounts''' Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect. Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users. '''How temporary accounts work''' [[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]] Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: <code dir=ltr>~2025-12345-67</code> (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it. '''What does this mean for different groups of users?''' '''For logged-out editors''' * This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki. * If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice. '''For community members interacting with logged-out editors''' * A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address). * Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community. '''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki''' * '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.) * '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''': ** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option. ** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range. * Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this. '''Our requests for you, and next steps''' * If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]]. * If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in. * Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options. * Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.

I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier. If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation. There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki. To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]]. <section end="announcement-content" /> </div> <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[mw:User:ABreault (WMF)|Content Transform Team]]</bdi> 00:43, 20 Gwakkuminogumu(Museenene) 2025 (UTC) (This message was sent to [[:Wikipedia:Ebibindabinda]] and is being posted here due to a redirect.) <!-- Message sent by User:ABreault (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Foundation/Product_and_Technology/Parsoid_Read_Views/2025-11-24_Wikipedias&oldid=29679507 --> == <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Reminder: Help us decide the name of the new Abstract Wikipedia project</span> == <div lang="en" dir="ltr"> <section begin="function2"/> {{int:Hello}}.

Required modules: * [[Module:UserLinks]] * [[Module:UserLinks/shared]] * [[Module:UserLinks/config]] * [[Module:Arguments]] * [[Module:Yesno]] * [[Module:Toolbar]] * [[Module:InterwikiTable]] * [[Module:TableTools]] (optional in [[Module:UserLinks]], but required by [[Module:Toolbar]]) Optional modules: * [[Module:UserLinks/extra]] - used for testing new link functions before they are moved to the main module. * [[Module:Category handler]] - if an error occurs, and this module is present, pages are not categorised if they match the module's blacklist. After you have copied over the necessary modules, you should adjust the configuration settings in [[Module:UserLinks/config]] for your language and for your wiki's setup. 00vp49nruh7pbuhmb8rfdo5hzbl2zfn 828 13598 50872 2026-05-11T12:52:36Z SyntaxTerror 11090 Created page with "-- This module stores functions that are shared between [[Module:UserLinks]] -- and [[Module:UserLinks/extra]]. -- Load data and define often-used variables local cfg = mw.loadData('Module:UserLinks/config') local namespaces = mw.site.namespaces -- Lazily initialise modules that we may or may not need local mCategoryHandler -- Define namespaces for which links need to be escaped with the colon trick. -- See [[w:en:Help:Colon trick]]. local colonNamespaces = { [6] = t..." 50872 Scribunto text/plain -- This module stores functions that are shared between [[Module:UserLinks]] -- and [[Module:UserLinks/extra]]. -- Load data and define often-used variables local cfg = mw.loadData('Module:UserLinks/config') local namespaces = mw.site.namespaces -- Lazily initialise modules that we may or may not need local mCategoryHandler -- Define namespaces for which links need to be escaped with the colon trick. -- See [[w:en:Help:Colon trick]]. local colonNamespaces = { [6] = true, -- File [14] = true, -- Category } local p = {} function p.maybeLoadModule(s) -- Attempts to load the module s.

For documentation, please see the [[Template:User|template page]]. === Technical details === While the {{tl|user}} template is only a wrapper for [[Module:UserLinks]], by implementing it as a Lua module we make significant gains in performance. It is roughly twice as fast as accessing Module:UserLinks from wikitext. For example, this module rendered a test page containing nothing but 1000 {{tl|user}} transclusions in 3.9 seconds, whereas the version that called Module:UserLinks from wikitext rendered it in 7.7 seconds. The performance gains are achieved by reducing the number of parameters that are looked up from wikitext. In particular, the link codes, "t" and "c", along with the "span=no" option, are passed directly to UserLinks. Also, UserLinks looks up the arguments "user", "User", "project", "Project", "lang", and "Lang". From wikitext, each parameter is checked twice – once for the #invoke text and once for the calling template – and each check is relatively resource-heavy. From Lua, each parameter is only checked once, and the individual checks take much less time. This means that on average, maybe nine argument lookups are saved in each invocation by using this module. On pages with hundreds or thousands of invocations, this adds up to a lot of argument lookups saved. === Examples === * {{tl|user}}: {{mlx|User|&zwj;|Example}} → {{#invoke:User||Example}} * {{tl|user2}}: {{mlx|User|2|Example}} → {{#invoke:User|2|Example}} * {{tl|user3}}: {{mlx|User|3|Example}} → {{#invoke:User|3|Example}} * {{tl|user4}}: {{mlx|User|4|Example}} → {{#invoke:User|4|Example}} * {{tl|user5}}: {{mlx|User|5|Example}} → {{#invoke:User|5|Example}} * {{tl|user6}}: {{mlx|User|6|Example}} → {{#invoke:User|6|Example}} * {{tl|user7}}: {{mlx|User|7|Example}} → {{#invoke:User|7|Example}} * {{tl|user8}}: {{mlx|User|8|Example}} → {{#invoke:User|8|Example}} * {{tl|admin}}: {{mlx|User|admin|Example}} → {{#invoke:User|admin|Example}} * {{tl|former admin}}: {{mlx|User|former admin|Example}} → {{#invoke:User|former admin|Example}} <includeonly>{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|sandbox|| <!-- Categories go here and interwikis go in Wikidata. --> }}</includeonly> bkl999okdp2voi4whs3d3d3fumn9zkj 2 13612 50886 2026-05-11T13:04:32Z SyntaxTerror 11090 Created page with "__NOTOC__ <noinclude>{{Pp-protected|small=yes}}{{pp-move-indef}}</noinclude> {{not a sandbox}} {{Notice|title=Not a real user|text=This user is not a real person.

When viewing an article (or any other non-talk page) on the Wikipedia, a link to the corresponding talk page appears on the "Talk" tab at the top of the page. Click this tab to switch to the talk page. The talk page associated with an article has the prefix "Talk:"; for example, the talk page for the article [[Australia]] is named [[Talk:Australia]]. The talk page associated with a page in another [[WP:namespace|namespace]] is named by adding "talk" after the namespace label; for example, the talk page for [[Wikipedia:About]] is called [[Wikipedia talk:About]]. [[WP:User pages|User pages]] also have associated talk pages (for example, [[User talk:Jimbo Wales]] for [[User:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales' userpage]]). When other editors need to contact you, they will usually do this by leaving a message on [[Special:mytalk|your talk page]].

Type four tildes <nowiki>(~~~~)</nowiki>, which will automatically add your username and the date. * Click "Publish changes" ===Indentation=== {{see also|Wikipedia:Indentation|Help:List}} Indentation is used to keep talk pages readable. Comments are indented using one or more initial colons (<code>:</code>), each colon representing one level of indentation. Each comment should be indented one more level than the comment it replies to, which may or may not be the preceding comment. For example: {| class="wikitable" style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; border:none; width:90%;" ! scope="col" |Code ! scope="col" |Result |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> == Header == The first comment in a section has no colons before it. ~~~~ :The reply to the first comment is indented one level. ~~~~ ::The reply to the second comment should be indented one more level. ~~~~ ::Another reply to the second comment is also indented one more level than the comment being replied to. ~~~~ :A subsequent reply to the first comment is indented one level. ~~~~ </syntaxhighlight> | {{Fake heading|Header}} The first comment in a section has no colons before it.

[[User:Example3|Editor 3]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 03:15, 24 September 2016 (UTC) |} {{anchor|mixed indents}}{{anchor|mixthread}}Some pages (deletion discussions, for example) use asterisks (<code>*</code>) rather than colons for indentation. Generally, colons and asterisks should not be mixed; if you see asterisks are being used in a page, use them as well. Complex discussions may mix them (and numbered lists, too); in such a case, avoid [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Lists|mangled list formatting]] with this simple rule of thumb: {{strong|Use the same indentation and list formatting as what you are replying to, plus one level at the end of the indent/list code.}} For example, if you are replying to something in a complicated discussion that starts with <code>#:::*</code>, just copy-paste that and add a <code>:</code>, resulting in <code>#:::*:</code> in front of your reply (or use <code>#:::**</code> if you feel it is necessary for your reply to begin with a bullet point). If you post multiple comments in reply to the same comment, they should be at the same indentation level. In the case of multiple ''consecutive'' comments, it should not appear that you are replying to your own comment. (This principle also applies when you post multiple comments to begin a thread: none should be indented.) Avoid placing double line breaks between indented lines of text, since this can create problems for users of screen reader software (see {{section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility|Indentation}}). If you practice these techniques, be sure to practice on a talk page, such as <code>User talk:{{var|your user name}}/sandbox</code>. The [[Cascading Style Sheets]] for talk pages are different from articles, and the visual appearance of list-formatted text can be different. Also, <code>:</code> should not be used for visual indentation in articles, as it is actually markup [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Description (definition, association) lists|specifically for description lists]]. {{Crossref|(See {{section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Indentation}} for how to indent single lines and blocks of text in articles; for block-quoting, see {{section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Block quotations}}.)}} Additionally, to ensure clarity in a rapidly-moving or otherwise complex discussion, it is possible to use {{tl|reply to}} to make clear to whom the comment is addressed. This also has the added feature of leaving the other editor a notification that you have replied to them. If a discussion is particularly long and adding a reply using indenting would make it hard to read on smaller screens, you can use {{tl|outdent}} to create a non-indented reply that is linked to the indented reply above it, allowing future replies to start indenting from the beginning. See [[WP:OUTDENT]] for more details and examples. === Reply tool === {{hatnote|For more detailed help see [[Wikipedia:Reply tool]] and [[mw:Help:DiscussionTools]].}} {{anchor|'Reply tool' (rollout due: early 2022)}}The Reply tool makes it easier to respond to comments on talk pages. Since [[mw:Talk_pages_project/Replying#9_March_2022|March 2022 on desktop]] and [[mw:Talk_pages_project/Mobile#6_March_2023|March 2023 on mobile]], a ''Reply'' link appears at the end of every signed comment. ==== How to use it ==== [[File:Reply tool version 2b screenshot.png|500px|thumb|Screenshot of the visual mode of the Reply tool.]] # Click the <span class="mw-ui-button mw-ui-progressive mw-ui-quiet">Reply</span> link next a comment's signature. # Type your response in the box that appears. # [[Help:Ping|Ping]] editors if you need to, by using the {{key press|@}} key or clicking on the icon [[File:OOjs UI icon userAvatarAdd.svg|15x15px]] (in the toolbar) to search for an editor's name. No one will be pinged unless you link to a username in your comment or your [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. However, all editors who are [[Wikipedia:SUBSCRIBE|subscribed to receive notifications]] to the thread will be notified of your comment even if you don't ping anyone. (Optional.) # Your [[Wikipedia:Signatures|signature]] and timestamp are added automatically. # Click {{Clickable button 2|Reply|color=blue|link=no}} to post your comment. ==== Features ==== * Automatic signatures, indentation, live preview as you type in wikitext [[Wikipedia:Source editor|source editor]] mode, resolution of most edit conflicts * If it can't resolve the edit conflict automatically, it'll give you an error message. (You can copy your comment and reload the page.) * In both the source and Visual modes, you can use [[WP:Keyboard shortcuts|keyboard shortcuts]] to make links, to @-mention the person you're replying to, or to add character formatting. * Keyboard shortcuts for cancelling ({{key press|Escape}}) and posting (e.g., {{key press|Command|Return}} or {{key press|ctrl|Return}}) * Preference to opt-out. * You can switch between visual and [[WP:Source editor|source editing]] modes. * Edits made with Reply tool are tagged as such in [[Special:RecentChanges]]. * If someone else posts a comment in the same section while you are typing your own comment, it [[:File:DiscussionTools Show new comment 2022 en.png|will alert you]]. Click <span class="mw-ui-button mw-ui-progressive mw-ui-quiet">Show 1 new comment</span> to see the new comment. If you have already typed part of your comment, it will try to keep your comment. * Replying can be disabled on individual pages and sections (as described at [[mw:Help:DiscussionTools/Magic words and markup]]). * * Automatic "healing" of old links to a talk page comment or thread/section title by showing a notification of the archive location of the thread (as described below at [[#Linking to talk page comments or threads]]). ==== Limitations ==== * As of 2023, this tool will not work with multi-line templates or wikitext codes that need to be placed at the start of a line. (e.g., [[mw:Help:Tables|wikitext table syntax]]). You will not be able to switch to visual mode if your comment contains this syntax. See [[mw:Help:DiscussionTools/Reply_tool_visual_mode_limitations|''Reply tool visual mode limitations'']]. * The Reply tool will only show on: ** Pages in talk namespaces ** Pages in namespaces which have been configured to show the 'add signature' tool (<code><nowiki>$wgExtraSignatureNamespaces</nowiki></code>). For most Wikimedia wikis this is the ''project'' and ''help'' namespaces. ** Pages which have manually added the Add topic button using <code><nowiki>__NEWSECTIONLINK__</nowiki></code> * The Reply tool is visible when it detects a link to a user account and a timestamp on the same line. Some custom signatures will not be detected. See [[mw:Help:DiscussionTools/Why_can%27t_I_reply_to_this_comment%3F|''Why can't I reply to this comment?'']]. * When prior responses are not threaded correctly, the reply tool response might also thread incorrectly; switching to regular replying in that instance might be quicker. ==== Opting out ==== Any logged-in user can opt-out from seeing Reply tool links: Go to {{Myprefs|Editing|Discussion pages|uncheck=Enable quick replying.}} For more detailed help, ask a question on Talk:Talk pages project. ==Notifications== ===Notifying other users=== You can notify other editors in a discussion by linking to their user page in your post. In [[Wikipedia:Reply tool|the Reply tool]], just click the "@" button in its toolbar or type an @ (in the visual mode), and a small search box will appear, so you can find the other person's name. To do this in the wikitext editor, you can add an ordinary link to the person's User: page (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[User:Editor 1]]</nowiki></code>) or use the [[Help:A quick guide to templates|template]] {{tlx|Reply to|Username}}, which renders @[[User:Example|Username]]: For example, to reply and notify Editor 1 you could use the following code: {| class="wikitable" style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; border:none;" ! scope="col" |Code ! scope="col" |Result |- | <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> {{reply to|Editor 1}} Message text. ~~~~ </syntaxhighlight> | @[[User:Example|Editor 1]]: Message text. <span style="color:#002BB8">Username</span> (<span style="color:#002BB8">talk</span>) 10:44, 21 September 2016 (UTC) |} {| role="presentation" |[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] |Make sure to '''sign your post''' in the same edit in which you use this template, otherwise it won't work. Note that you cannot directly type the "@" symbol to notify a user in the 2010 wikitext editor. That only works in the Reply tool. If you are editing the wikitext directly, you must use this template or manually create a [[WP:WIKILINK|wikilink]] to their [[WP:USERPAGE|user page]]. |} ===You have new messages=== [[File:English Wikipedia Vector (2022) Alert Menu Example.png|thumb|upright=0.9|The message notification as it appears for registered users, in this image by [[User:The Editor's Apprentice|The Editor's Apprentice]].]] You will be notified when someone else edits your user talk page or notifies you with the {{tl|Reply to}} template. Since 30 April 2013, registered users have received this notification through the [[Wikipedia:Notifications]] system (see the adjacent image); unregistered users continued to receive notifications with the old-style Orange Bar until the introduction of [[WP:TEMPA|temporary accounts]] on 4 November 2025. Registered users wishing to add back the functionality of the Orange Bar notification may do so through [[User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/orangeBar|this script]]. For users not editing with an account (unregistered users), the alert below was automatically displayed on all pages until you viewed your user talk page. If you clicked "new messages" it directed you to the bottom of your talk page. If you clicked "last change" it showed you the last edit made to your talk page. <div style="display: inline-block; max-width: 50%; overflow-wrap: break-word; vertical-align: top; margin:0em" class="usermessage">{{int:New-messages|[[Special:MyTalk|new messages]]|<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:MyTalk|diff=prev}} last change]</span>}}</div> {{clear left}} == Linking to talk page comments or threads == {{anchor|Linking to talk page comments or threads}}{{shortcut|H:TALKPERMALINK|H:TALKLINK|H:TPPL|H:TPL}} With the introduction of the new discussion tools to [[#Starting a new thread|start new threads]] or [[#Replying to an existing thread|reply to existing ones]], linking to comments or talk page threads also got a lot easier. The new discussion tools brought the introduction of [[mw:Help:DiscussionTools#Talk pages permalinking|talk page permalinking]], which was enabled [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302011 in June 2024 on en-wiki] (following the prior rollout to all other wikimedia sites in January 2024). It offers a simple way to link directly to individual comments by clicking on the timestamp at the end of the comment, instead of having to manually find the [[WP:diff|diff]] or a particular comment and manually linking to the diff. The feature also brought automatic "link healing" by assigning talk page comments and threads a unique identifier to jump directly to the target comment and allows users to follow links to old comments or threads, even if those threads have since been archived. ===Creating a link=== ==== Linking to comments ==== {{anchor|Linking to comments}} [[File:DiscussionTools reply permalink.png|thumb|upright=1.2|Example of permalink to a comment being copied to the clipboard when clicking on a timestamp of a comment inside a Wikipedia talk page]] To link to a comment, simply click on the timestamp at the bottom of the comment you would like to link to as shown in the screenshot. The link will automatically be copied to the clipboard and ready to be inserted in a discussion. The format of a comment link will look something like this: {{code|#c-<username1>-<timestamp1>-<username2>-<timestamp2>}} {{clear}} ====Linking to threads==== {{anchor|Linking to threads}} [[File:DiscussionTools thread permalink.png|thumb|upright=1.2|Example of permalink to a thread being copied to the clipboard when clicking on a timestamp of the first post of a thread inside a Wikipedia talk page]] Just like copying a link to a reply, you can also copy the link to a thread. Simply click the timestamp of the first post in a thread and a thread-link will be generated as shown in the screenshot. The format of a thread link will look something like this: {{code|#c-<username>-<timestamp>-<topic title> }} Note that even if you have a link to a regular topic title like {{code|#<topic title>}}, the tool will try to find the corresponding title in the archives. This should work for all regular topic links made going forward. {{efn|There may be some older topic links from threads prior to 2023 that may not be completely indexed. See [[mw:Help:DiscussionTools#Permalinks_formats|DiscussionTools documentation page for more details]].}} ===== Limitation ===== With lowercase sigmabot III pure talk section links (internal link that starts with #) will not work unless opened in a new tab once the section being linked to has been archived. Example link: *<nowiki>[[#Thread topic]]</nowiki> Long section links work after linked-to section has been archived (either internal or external link): *<nowiki>[[Talk:Article name#Thread topic]]</nowiki> *<nowiki>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Article_name#Thread_topic</nowiki> {{clear}} === Following links === {{anchor|Following links}} Users that are following a link to a talk page comment or thread will either: * If they are currently on the same page, [[#Following an active link|jump directly to the thread or comment]] and highlighting it. * Change to the target page and [[#Following an active link|jump to the target thread or comment]] and highlighting it. * Change to the target page and be [[#Following a link to a thread that has been archived|presented with a notification of the Archive location]] of the old thread. ==== Following an active link ==== [[File:DiscussionTools clicked permalink.png|thumb|upright=1.2|Following a link to a comment results in the browse jumping to the target comment and highlighting it.]] When following a link to a comment or thread which is still active on the target talk page, the browser will jump directly to the target comment and highlight it as shown in the screenshot. {{clear}} ==== Following a link to a thread that has been archived ==== [[File:DiscussionTools clicked archived permalink.png|thumb|upright=1.2|Following a link to a comment or thread to a discussion and landing on the target page with a notification message pointing to the archive page where the thread is now stored.]] When following a link to a comment or thread which is no longer present directly on the talk page, as it has since been archived, will result in landing on that talk page and a notification message appearing which points to the correct archive location where the thread is now located as shown in the screenshot. {{clear}} ==Advanced== {{also|Help:Talk pages/Example}} ===Archiving=== {{anchor|Subpages and archiving}} {{Main|Help:Archiving a talk page}} On talk pages that generate significant amounts of discussion, old discussions are often archived to keep the size of the talk page at a manageable level. This may be done either manually or with the help of a [[Help:Bot|bot]]. Talk pages with {{tlx|Talk header}} at the top automatically contain a box linking to all archive pages and a search box to search prior discussions. Some pages with many archive pages, such as [[WP:NOTICEBOARD|noticeboards]] may have a separate archive box with links to the discussion archives near the top of the page. ===Assorted talk page boxes and graphics=== ====Quotations==== Sometimes it is necessary to display a sentence or paragraph from the article on the talk page so that other editors can easily understand what is being discussed. To quote something without starting a new paragraph, use the {{tl|talk quote inline}} template, often abbreviated as {{Tl|tq}}. Use it <code><nowiki>{{tq|like this}}</nowiki></code> to produce quotes {{tq|like this}}. An easy way to produce block quotations is to use the {{tl|Quote frame}} or {{tl|Quote}} templates. Use <code><nowiki>{{Quote frame|Quoted passage from the article.}}</nowiki></code> to produce: {{Quote frame|Quoted passage from the article.}} Alternatively, use <code><nowiki>{{Quote frame |Quoted text |Author |Source}}</nowiki></code> to produce: {{Quote frame |Quoted text |Author |Source}} The {{tl|Quote}} template produces an indented quotation with no box; use <code><nowiki>{{Quote |Quoted text |''Source''}}</nowiki></code> to produce: {{Quote|Quoted text|''Source''}} Alternatively, use <code><nowiki>{{Quote|Quoted text |Author |''Source'', page XX}}</nowiki></code> to add an author and page number: {{Quote|Quoted text |Author |''Source'', page XX}} For directly quoting another user, the {{tl|Talkquote}} template places quoted text inside a green box, as in: <code><nowiki>{{Talkquote |Quoted text |Example |ts=12:00, 01 January 2000 (UTC)}}</nowiki></code>, which produces: {{Talkquote |Quoted text |Example |ts=12:00, 01 January 2000 (UTC)}} ====References ==== To keep a list of accompanying references within a section, or directly after your comment (rather than at the end of the page), add the {{tlx|reflist-talk}} template below it. To save screen space or reduce visual clutter, you may use the {{tlx|sources-talk}} template instead; this collapses the list. ====Talk page graphics and icons==== {{seealso|Wikipedia:List of discussion templates}} {| class="wikitable" style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; font-size:90%;" !

The templates can be used to block most bots (all bots that have implemented this functionality) or specific bots by name or function. For example, this can be used to opt-in or opt-out from user talk bot messages or to cause maintenance bots to avoid certain pages. These templates should be used carefully outside userspace to avoid blocking useful bot edits. Explicitly opting-in has the advantage of receiving useful changes or targeted posts a bot might otherwise skip by following "opt-out" behavior by default. Users should be aware that by opting-out of bot posts, they will not be notified of matters relating to material they have edited or uploaded, which are tagged or scanned by bots per policy. In particular, in the encyclopedia spaces: * Avoid using the template as a blunt instrument * Address the root problem with the bot owner or bot community * Remove the template tag once the underlying problem has been resolved. == Important notes == Most bots will NOT understand these templates when they are indirectly transcluded. Bots may not disregard the template if it is inside of {{tag|!--|content=&nbsp;comment&nbsp;}} or {{tag|nowiki}} tags. For example, if you are discussing the templates with another editor, please use the {{tl|tl}} template, e.g. {{tlc|tl|nobots}}, which will show {{tl|nobots}}, rather than {{tag|nowiki|content={{tlf|nobots}}}}, which will possibly be parsed as intending to exclude bots from the page. Bots may not understand these templates if they are written with extraneous spaces or odd syntax, such as <code class="nowrap">{{((}} nobots}}</code> or <code class="nowrap">{{((}}nobots }}</code> or <code class="nowrap">{{((}}Template:Nobots}}</code> or <code class="nowrap">{{((}}bots|deny=ExampleBot&lt;!-- remove when bot is fixed --&gt;}}</code>. A list of transclusions is at [[User:AnomieBOT/Nobots Hall of Shame]] == Syntax == {{tlp|nobots}} Ban all compliant bots (shortcut that takes no parameters) {{tlp|bots}} Allow all bots (shortcut that takes no parameters) {{tlp|bots|allow{{=}}<botlist>}} Ban all compliant bots not in the list {{tlp|bots|deny{{=}}<botlist>}} Ban all compliant bots in the list ''Where <botlist> is a comma-delimited string of bot usernames (AWB can be used for all [[WP:AWB|AWB]]-based bots):'' {{tlp|bots|allow{{=}}SineBot,Legobot}} {{tlp|bots|deny{{=}}AWB}} ''<botlist> can also be "none" or "all" as in the following examples:'' {{tlp|bots|allow{{=}}all}} Allow all bots {{tlp|bots|allow{{=}}none}} Ban all compliant bots {{tlp|bots|deny{{=}}all}} Ban all compliant bots {{tlp|bots|deny{{=}}none}} Allow all bots Bots are not bound to observe the nobots template; it will depend on their functionality, their owners and their terms of approval. The bots that currently support exclusion are listed at [[:Category:Wikipedia bots which are exclusion compliant|exclusion compliant bots]]. == Message notification opt out == Another option is to opt out of specific types of messages for users who wish to be notified of certain problems, but not others. Users should be aware that by opting-out of specific notification posts, they will not be notified of matters relating to material they have edited or uploaded, which are tagged per policy. Actions (such as deletion) may be executed without you being notified as a result. By applying this to your own user talk page, you agree to this consequence. Applying this to a user talk page other than your own will be considered vandalism. All bots and scripts that leave messages on a user's talk page are encouraged to add this capability. By adding this to a user's talk page, a user may still receive these messages by non-compliant bots or scripts, or humans who add the tag manually. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}all}} Opt out of all messages (see limitations below). {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}nosource}} Opt out of [[Template:Image source|no source]] messages. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}nolicense}} Opt out of [[Template:Image copyright request|no license]] messages. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}orfud}} Opt out of [[Template:Di-orphaned fair use-notice|orphaned fair use]] messages. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}npd}} Opt out of [[Template:Di-no permission-notice|no permission]] messages. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}norationale}} Opt out of [[Template:Missing rationale|no rationale]] messages. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}replaceable}} Opt out of [[Template:Di-replaceable fair use-notice|replaceable fair use]] messages. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}bettersource}} Opt out of [[Template:Bsr-user|better source request]] messages. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}afd}} Opt out of [[Template:AFDWarningNew|articles for deletion]] messages or [[Template:AFDWarning|variant]] [[Template:Adw|forms]]. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}ifd}} Opt out of [[Template:Idw|images for deletion]] messages or [[Template:Idw-multi|variant]]. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}prod}} Opt out of [[Template:PRODWarning|prod warning]]. {{tlp|bots|optout{{=}}MassMessage}} Opt out of [[Wikipedia:Mass message|Mass messages]].

These include: #Copyright violation notifications #Vandalism (and other) warning notices. #[[User:SineBot]]'s notices for not signing posts #Any message tag that isn't included as a way of opting out above. (Is there one that should be included? Leave a message on the talk page.) #Mass messages cannot be opted-out of by using {{tlx|bots|optout{{=}}all}}; users must explicitly opt out with {{tlx|bots|optout{{=}}MassMessage}} == Incorrect syntax == These syntaxes look correct, but depending on the individual bot may not have the intended effect. {| class=wikitable !

The templates may be ignored using a parameter. *Since version 3.2.0.0 [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser|AutoWikiBrowser]] fully supports {{tlx|bots}} and {{tlx|nobots}}. Additionally, pseudo-username ''AWB'' can be specified to ban all AWB-based bots from the page. However, AWB has an option to ignore these templates. *Opt out message notification was introduced here April 3, 2008.

While Lua allows the <code>true</code> and <code>false</code> boolean values, wikicode templates can only express boolean values through strings such as "yes", "no", etc. This module processes these kinds of strings and turns them into boolean input for Lua to process. It also returns <code>nil</code> values as <code>nil</code>, to allow for distinctions between <code>nil</code> and <code>false</code>. The module also accepts other Lua structures as input, i.e. booleans, numbers, tables, and functions. If it is passed input that it does not recognise as boolean or <code>nil</code>, it is possible to specify a default value to return. == Syntax == <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">yesno(value, default)</syntaxhighlight> <code>value</code> is the value to be tested. Boolean input or boolean-style input (see below) always evaluates to either <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, and <code>nil</code> always evaluates to <code>nil</code>. Other values evaluate to <code>default</code>. == Usage == First, load the module. Note that it can only be loaded from other Lua modules, not from normal wiki pages. For normal wiki pages you can use {{tl|yesno}} instead. <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> local yesno = require('Module:Yesno') </syntaxhighlight> Some input values always return <code>true</code>, and some always return <code>false</code>. <code>nil</code> values always return <code>nil</code>. <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> -- These always return true: yesno('yes') yesno('y') yesno('true') yesno('t') yesno('on') yesno('1') yesno(1) yesno(true) -- These always return false: yesno('no') yesno('n') yesno('false') yesno('f') yesno('off') yesno('0') yesno(0) yesno(false) -- A nil value always returns nil: yesno(nil) yesno() </syntaxhighlight> String values are converted to lower case before they are matched: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> -- These always return true: yesno('Yes') yesno('YES') yesno('yEs') yesno('Y') yesno('tRuE') -- These always return false: yesno('No') yesno('NO') yesno('nO') yesno('N') yesno('fALsE') </syntaxhighlight> ===Undefined input ('foo')=== You can specify a default value if yesno receives input other than that listed above. If you don't supply a default, the module will return <code>nil</code> for these inputs. <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> -- These return nil: yesno(nil) yesno('foo') yesno({}) yesno(5) yesno('') yesno(function() return 'This is a function.' end) yesno(nil, true) yesno(nil, 'bar') -- These return true: yesno('foo', true) yesno({}, true) yesno(5, true) yesno('', true) yesno(function() return 'This is a function.' end, true) -- These return "bar": yesno('foo', 'bar') yesno({}, 'bar') yesno(5, 'bar') yesno('', 'bar') yesno(function() return 'This is a function.' end, 'bar') </syntaxhighlight> Although the empty string usually evaluates to false in wikitext, it evaluates to true in Lua. This module prefers the Lua behaviour over the wikitext behaviour. If treating the empty string as false is important for your module, you will need to convert empty strings to a value that evaluates to false before passing them to this module. In the case of arguments received from wikitext, this can be done by using [[Module:Arguments]]. ===Handling nil results=== By definition: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> yesno(nil) -- Returns nil. yesno('foo') -- Returns nil. yesno(nil, true) -- Returns nil. yesno(nil, false) -- Returns nil. yesno('foo', true) -- Returns true. </syntaxhighlight> To get the binary <syntaxhighlight lang="lua" inline>true/false</syntaxhighlight>-only values, use code like: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> myvariable = yesno(value or false) -- When value is nil, result is false. myvariable = yesno(value or true) -- When value is nil, result is true. (XXX: when value is false, result is true...) myvariable = yesno('foo') or false -- Unknown string returns nil, result is false. myvariable = yesno('foo', true) or false -- Default value (here: true) applies, result is true. </syntaxhighlight> Better suggestions: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> local myvariable = yesno(value) if myvariable == nil then -- value is nil or an unrecognized string myvariable = true end -- more efficient when value is nil, but more verbose -- (note the default result has to be written twice) local myvariable if value == nil then myvariable = true else myvariable = yesno(value, true) end -- Terse coding when the default is false: myvariable = yesno(value or false, false) -- if value is nil, yesno() is called with false instead; result is false. -- If value is 'foo', yesno() is called with 'foo'; 'foo' makes no sense, so the default (false) is returned. -- if value is 'yes' or 'no', yesno() is called with 'yes' or 'no'; result is true or false. -- Terse coding when the default is true: myvariable = yesno(value or true, true) -- if value is nil, yesno() is called with true instead; result is true. -- If value is 'foo', yesno() is called with 'foo'; 'foo' makes no sense, so the default (true) is returned. -- if value is 'yes' or 'no', yesno() is called with 'yes' or 'no'; result is true or false. </syntaxhighlight><!-- --><includeonly>{{sandbox

'''Do not''' create a CSD template which does not already have a CSD criterion. *{{para|1}} is the text which will go in bold immediately after "may qualify for speedy deletion". Note that there is no space between the word "deletion" and the parameter – if you want to continue the sentence without punctuation, use an HTML space (&amp;#32;) to prevent the template 'eating' the leading space. A trailing full stop is ''already'' included in db-meta, so don't add it to this parameter ;Recommended parameters :These parameters are generally used in all speedy deletion templates based on db-meta, and some may break other templates/scripts if they are omitted. *{{para|2}} is the text which appears in italics after {{para|1}}. This should be a complete sentence, minus trailing punctuation (a full stop is included in db-meta). *{{para|temp}} is the [[Wikipedia:user warning template|user warning template]] which corresponds to the CSD criterion. For instance, {{tlx|db-a1}} uses [[Template:empty-warn]], so passes the parameter {{para|temp|empty-warn}}. All such warning templates should be categorised at [[:Category:Speedy deletion warning templates]] *{{para|summary}} is the brief summary which will be preloaded into the deletion confirmation screen. There is no need to include the CSD criterion as this is added automatically. *{{para|bot}} is the name of the bot account that tagged the page for deletion, if applicable. This should be passed through to the specific deletion template, using <code><nowiki>|bot={{{bot|}}}</nowiki></code>. It should not be called directly from db-meta. *{{para|raw}} is used for generating a simple deletion message with no message box. It should be passed through to the specific deletion template, using <code><nowiki>|raw={{{raw|}}}</nowiki></code>. This parameter is used by {{tl|db-multiple}} to generate the notices about individual speedy deletion criteria. '''Optional parameters''' *{{para|rationale}} adds a custom deletion rationale in red after the speedy deletion criterion number. *{{para|self}}: if this parameter exists, there is no message about not removing speedy deletion templates from things you have created/uploaded yourself. *{{para|notes}} is a space for notes. It appears after the notice about using the talk page for contesting speedy deletions, and before the message only visible to admins. *{{para|anote}} adds an extra custom note to the message only visible to admins. *{{para|temp2}} allows the addition of extra parameters to the end of the user warning template specified in {{para|temp}}. *{{para|sig}}: if this exists, the four tildes normally appended to the user warning template text are removed. *{{para|image}} adds an image to the right-hand side of the template. Include only the image name; do not add "File:" or "Image:". *{{para|wiki}} is the [[Help:Interwikimedia links|interwikimedia link]] for the image named in {{para|image}}, if it is not on the English Wikipedia. *{{para|blanked}}: if this exists, a message box is shown beneath the main deletion template that says "This page has been [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Courtesy blanking|blanked as a courtesy]]." *{{para|blanked-text}} is the custom text for the "blanked" message box. {{para|blanked}} must exist for this to work. *{{para|pleaseblank}}: if this exists, a message box is shown beneath the main deletion template that says "Please [[Wikipedia:Courtesy blanking|blank this page]] so that it only contains the deletion template." *{{para|divblank}}: if this parameter exists, the code <code><nowiki><div id="AttackPage" style="display:none"></nowiki></code> is added to the end of the deletion template, which prevents all subsequent content on the page from being displayed. *{{para|help}}: pass {{para|help|off}} to hide the message to the nominator about notifying the author. === Other notes === *For templates which have variants, like {{tlx|db-g6}} and {{tlx|db-a7}}, it is recommended to base the variants ''on those templates'', rather than directly on db-meta. For instance, {{tlx|db-band}} calls {{tlx|db-a7}} which in turn calls db-meta, rather than db-band calling db-meta directly. *All CSD templates using db-meta produce two invisible spans which may be useful for client-side JavaScript: **<code><nowiki><div id="delete-criterion"></div></nowiki></code> contains only the CSD criterion ("A1", "P2", "R3", etc.) **<code><nowiki><div id="delete-reason"></div></nowiki></code> contains a complete, legible deletion log summary which is suitable for preloading into the deletion confirmation screen. == TemplateData == {{TemplateData header}} <templatedata> { "params": { "1": {}, "2": {}, "raw": { "description": "Set to any value to remove the red box around the deletion message (used for {{db-multiple}}).

See their sections for documentation. == Common parameters == {| class="wikitable" |- ! Parameter !! Description |- | <code>_format</code> || The format used to display the test cases. This can be "[[#Columns|columns]]", "[[#Rows and tablerows|rows]]", "[[#Rows and tablerows|tablerows]]", "[[#Inline|inline]]" or "[[#Default|default]]". |- | <code>_output</code> || Allows changes in how the template's output is displayed. The default output is displayed when the {{code|_output}} parameter is not specified or when it is set to any unsupported value. A [[WP:NOWIKI|nowiki]] version of the template's output is displayed when {{para|_output|nowiki}}; this is helpful when there are differences in the underlying [[Help:Wikitext|wikitext]] which are not visible in the default output. Both the default output and nowiki version are displayed when {{para|_output|nowiki+}}. |- | <code>_collapsible</code> || If set to "y" or "yes", the test case is made collapsible. The test case is collapsed and given a green heading if all the template outputs are the same. If any of the template outputs differ, the test case is expanded and given a yellow heading. See [[#Collapsible test cases]] for other parameters which only work when _collapsible is enabled. |- | <code>_template1</code>, <code>_template2</code>, <code>_template3</code>... || The names of the templates to be processed. The default of _template1 is the base page of the current page. If _template1 is specified, the default for _template2 is its /sandbox subpage; if not, the default for _template2 is the /sandbox subpage of the base page of the current page. Template names should be entered as you would use them in a normal template invocation, i.e. "3x", not "Template:3x". If you need to test a page in the main namespace you can use a colon prefix, i.e. ":''article name''". |- | <code>_template</code> || An alias for _template1. If both _template and _template1 are specified, _template will take precedence. |- | <code>_showtemplate1</code>, <code>_showtemplate2</code>, <code>_showtemplate3</code>... || If this is set to "no", then no output is shown for that template. This is useful if you only want to show the main template, or if you only want to show the sandbox template. |- | <code>_heading1</code>, <code>_heading2</code>, <code>_heading3</code>... || Custom headings for each of the templates. |- | <code>_showheader</code> || If this is set to "n" or "no", then no headers are shown. |- | <code>_before</code>, <code>_after</code> || Optional text to display before and after the output of each template. |- | <code>_resetRefs</code> || If set to "y" or "yes", any references generated by the templates tested are reset after each template is expanded. |- | <code>_showcode</code> || Show the template code used to make the test case. If an invocation is specified with the _code parameter, then that is used. Otherwise, an approximation is generated from the arguments. This approximation is not perfect - white space in named arguments is lost, and duplicate arguments are ignored - but it should be fine for template code that is input all on one line without spaces between parameters. |- | <code>_code</code> || Used to specify template code inside {{tag|nowiki}} tags. This is used with the _showcode option to display the template invocation while preserving white space. You must use the magic word "__TEMPLATENAME__" instead of the template name. For example: <code><nowiki>| _code = &lt;nowiki&gt;{{__TEMPLATENAME__|first|second|foo=bar}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;</nowiki></code>. If you find yourself using this option a lot, you may want to consider using {{tl|test case nowiki}}, which allows you to generate the entire test case from template code in nowiki tags, saving you from typing in all the arguments twice. <p>Note: due to the way nowiki tags work, the template treats the [[HTML entities]] &amp;lt;, &amp;gt; and &amp;quot; as if they were the literal characters &lt;, &gt; and &quot; when used with this parameter.</p> |} == Test case formats == === Default format<span class="anchor" id="Default"></span> === This format is used when '''{{code|_format}}''' is not specified or when '''{{para|_format|default}}'''. It does not have any extra parameters. '''Example''' {{test case|_template1=ombox|text=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.}} === Columns format<span class="anchor" id="Columns"></span> === Use '''{{para|_format|columns}}''' to arrange the test cases side by side in a table. This is useful for comparing long and thin templates such as infoboxes. It has the following extra parameters: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Parameter !! Description |- | <code>_class</code> || HTML classes for the table. Use {{para|_class|wikitable}} to format the table as a wikitable. |- | <code>_style</code> || Custom inline CSS for the table. |- | <code>_caption</code> || Custom caption for the table. The default is "Side by side comparison". |- | <code>_rowheader</code> || An extra heading for the row containing the templates. |- | <code>_heading0</code> || If _rowheader is supplied, this is an optional heading above it in the template row. |} '''Example''' {{test case|_template1=ombox|_format=columns|text=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.}} === Rows and tablerows formats<span class="anchor" id="Rows and tablerows"></span> === Use '''{{para|_format|rows}}''' or '''{{para|_format|tablerows}}''' to arrange the test cases one above another in a table. These two formats differ in the placement of the headings: '''{{code|rows}}''' puts them above, whereas '''{{code|tablerows}}''' to the left of the template outputs. It has the following extra parameters: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Parameter !! Description |- | <code>_class</code> || HTML classes for the table. Use {{para|_class|wikitable}} to format the table as a wikitable. |- | <code>_style</code> || Custom inline CSS for the table. |- | <code>_caption</code> || Custom caption for the table. |} '''Example – rows''' {{test case|_template1=ombox|_format=rows|text=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.}} '''Example – tablerows''' {{test case|_template1=ombox|_format=tablerows|text=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.}} === Inline format<span class="anchor" id="Inline"></span> === Use '''{{Para|_format|inline}}''' for test cases that can be displayed entirely on one line. If used with templates that display on multiple lines it may produce unexpected results. This format creates a [[Help:Wikitext#Unordered lists|bulleted list]] by placing <code>*</code> before each line of output. It has the following extra parameters: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Parameter !! Description |- | <code>_addline</code> || Text to be added as last line in list, after the template output. |- | <code>_prefix</code> || Character to replace <code>*</code> before each line of output. Using {{para|_prefix|#}} would display a [[Help:Wikitext#Ordered lists|numbered list]]. |} Note: As this format starts with a bullet, a newline will always be inserted at the start of the template output due to [[phab:T14974|bug 14974]]. '''Examples''' (using [[Template:3x]]) Default: {{test case|_format=inline|_template1=3x|Lorem ipsum }} With '''{{para|_showcode|yes}}''': {{test case|_format=inline|_showcode=yes|_template1=3x|Lorem ipsum }} '''Example''' (using [[Template:Height]]) With '''{{para|_prefix|#}}''' and '''{{para|_addline}}''': {{test case |_format=inline |_prefix=# |_showcode=yes |_template=Height |m=1.51 |_addline=<code><nowiki>{{Cvt|1.51|m|frac=2}}</nowiki></code> → {{Cvt|1.51|m|frac=2}} }} == Output == The '''{{code|_output}}''' parameter allows changes in how the template's output is displayed. It should work with any of the [[#Test case formats|test case formats]]; the following examples use '''{{para|format|tablerows}}'''. === Default output === The default output is displayed when the '''{{code|_output}}''' parameter is not specified or when it is set to any unsupported value; this example uses '''{{para|_output|default}}'''. {{test case|_format=tablerows|_output=XXX|_template1=URL|_template2=Official website|https://www.example.com|example.com}} === Nowiki output === A [[WP:NOWIKI|nowiki]] version of the template's output is displayed when '''{{para|_output|nowiki}}'''. This is helpful if there are differences in the underlying [[Help:Wikitext|wikitext]] which are not visible in the default output. {{test case|_format=tablerows|_output=nowiki|_template1=URL|_template2=Official website|https://www.example.com|example.com}} === Nowiki+ output === Both the default output and nowiki version are displayed when '''{{para|_output|nowiki+}}'''. {{test case|_format=tablerows|_output=nowiki+|_template1=URL|_template2=Official&nbsp;website|https://www.example.com|example.com}} == Collapsible test cases == If <code>_collapsible</code> is set to "y" or "yes", the test case is made collapsible. The test case is collapsed and given a green heading if all the template outputs are the same. If any of the template outputs differ, the test case is expanded and given a yellow heading. It has the following extra parameters: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Parameter !! Description |- | <code>_title</code> || Use {{para|_title}} to display a custom title for collapsible test cases. |- | <code>_titlecode</code> || Use {{para|_titlecode|yes}} to display the template's code as the title of a collapsible test case. |- | <code>_notcollapsed</code> || If set to <code>y</code> or <code>yes</code>, the test case will always be expanded upon loading the page. If set to <code>n</code> or <code>no</code>, it will always be collapsed upon loading the page. This setting overrides the default functionality in which the test case is collapsed unless two or more outputs do not match. |} '''Examples''' === Default title === {{test case|_template1=ombox|_collapsible=yes|text=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.}} === With _titlecode=yes === This is useful for templates with a small number of parameters. It displays the template code in the title, eliminating the need for both '''{{para|_title}}''' and '''{{para|_showcode|yes}}'''. For actual tests implemented with '''{{para|_titlecode|yes}}''', see [[Template:URL/testcases]]. {{test case|_collapsible=yes|_titlecode=yes|_format=tablerows|_output=nowiki+|_template1=URL|www.example.com}} === With _notcollapsed=yes === If '''{{para|_notcollapsed|yes}}''', the test case will always be expanded upon loading the page. This setting overrides the default functionality in which the test case is collapsed unless two or more outputs do not match.

This is an intentional limit in the [[mw:Extension:Scribunto|Scribunto]] extension that runs [[Module:Template test case]], on which this template is based. If a test cases page takes more than 10 seconds to load, you may need to split it up into different pages. * When generating the template code used with {{para|_showcode}} whitespace in named parameters is ignored, numbered parameters like {{para|1}} may be incorrectly displayed as positional parameters, and duplicate parameters are ignored. This is due to how template parameters are processed before they are passed to [[Module:Template test case]]. * When using a template invocation inside nowiki tags with the {{para|_code}} parameter, the [[HTML entities]] &amp;lt;, &amp;gt; and &amp;quot; are converted to the literal characters &lt;, &gt; and &quot;. This is due to the way nowiki tags work. * For collapsible test cases, all text inside each extension tag (e.g. {{tag|ref|o}}, {{tag|references|o}}, {{tag|gallery|o}} or {{tag|nowiki|o}}) is treated as equal. These tags are converted to [[Help:Strip markers|strip markers]] before they are passed to the template, and all strip markers include a unique hexadecimal string. Even if strip markers were unstripped before being compared, the same wikitext would not be guaranteed to result in exactly the same unstripped code. So this module ignores the content of strip markers for the purposes of testing equality. This has the unwanted side effect that e.g. all {{tag|ref}} tags are treated as though they are equal, but should be adequate for most uses. == See also == Templates invoking [[Module:Template test case]]: * [[Template:Testcase rows]] – for a table of test cases arranged in rows * [[Template:Testcase table]] – for a table of test cases arranged in columns * [[Template:Inline test case]] – for test cases with small invocations and small output * [[Template:Collapsible test case]] – for test cases collapsed by default if the results are the same * [[Template:Test case nowiki]] – for test cases from template invocations enclosed in {{tag|nowiki}} tags * [[Template:Nowiki template demo]] – for use in template documentation <includeonly>{{Sandbox other|| <!-- Categories below this line, please; interwikis at Wikidata --> [[Category:Template test cases| ]] [[Category:Template namespace templates]] }}</includeonly> 9g1ifu8p1dl05oxd7byfjz1970v7lmz 828 13649 50927 2026-05-11T15:02:31Z SyntaxTerror 11090 Created page with "--[[ A module for generating test case templates.

While test cases can be made manually, using Lua-based templates such as the ones provided by this module has the advantage that the template arguments only need to be input once, thus reducing the effort involved in making test cases and reducing the possibility of errors in the input. == Usage == This module should not usually be called directly. Instead, you should use one of the following templates: Parameter-based templates: * [[Template:Test case]] – for standard test cases * [[Template:Testcase table]] – for test cases arranged side by side in columns * [[Template:Testcase rows]] – for test cases arranged as rows in a table * [[Template:Collapsible test case]] – for test cases that are collapsed by default if the results are the same * [[Template:Inline test case]] – for test cases with small invocations and small output, that do not contain any line breaks The only difference between these templates is their default arguments. For example, it is possible to display test cases side by side in [[Template:Testcase rows]] by specifying {{para|_format|columns}} Nowiki-based templates: * [[Template:Test case nowiki]] – for test cases created from template code wrapped in nowiki tags (useful for displaying complex template invocations) * [[Template:Nowiki template demo]] – for use in template documentation It is also possible to use a format of <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:template test case|main|</nowiki>''parameters''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. This uses the same defaults as [[Template:Test case]]; please see that page for documentation of the parameters. There is no direct interface to this module for other Lua modules. Lua modules should generally use Lua-based test case modules such as [[Module:UnitTests]] or [[Module:ScribuntoUnit]]. If it is really necessary to use this module, you can use [[mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#frame:expandTemplate|frame:expandTemplate]] with one of the templates listed above. == Configuration == This module has a configuration module at [[Module:Template test case/config]]. You can edit it to add new wrapper templates, or to change the messages that the module outputs. == Tracking categories == * {{clc|Test cases using heading parameters}} * {{clc|Test cases using output parameter}} <includeonly>{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|sandbox|| <!-- Categories go here and interwikis go in Wikidata. --> [[Category:Modules that add a tracking category]] [[Category:Modules that check for strip markers]] }}</includeonly> jzcdy52jq4lx9zq90vjifg99s3pd7q9 828 13651 50929 2026-05-11T15:03:54Z SyntaxTerror 11090 Created page with "/* {{pp-template}} */ .test-case-collapsible { width: 100%; border: 1px solid silver; padding: 0.2em; margin: 1em 0; margin-top: -1px; clear: both; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; } .test-case-collapsible .mw-collapsible-content > ul { margin-left: 0; } .mw-collapsible.test-case-collapsible.mw-made-collapsible .mw-collapsible-content { padding: 0.5em 1em; } .mw-collapsible.test-case-collapsible.mw-made-collapsible.mw-collapsed { margin-bottom: 0;..." 50929 sanitized-css text/css /* {{pp-template}} */ .test-case-collapsible { width: 100%; border: 1px solid silver; padding: 0.2em; margin: 1em 0; margin-top: -1px; clear: both; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; } .test-case-collapsible .mw-collapsible-content > ul { margin-left: 0; } .mw-collapsible.test-case-collapsible.mw-made-collapsible .mw-collapsible-content { padding: 0.5em 1em; } .mw-collapsible.test-case-collapsible.mw-made-collapsible.mw-collapsed { margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: -1px; } div.mw-collapsible-content > ul > li { display: block; } .test-case-collapsible-b1 { background-color: var(--background-color-warning-subtle, #fdf2d5); margin: 1px; } .test-case-collapsible-b2 { background-color: var(--background-color-content-added, #a3d3ff); margin: 1px; } .test-case-collapsible-b3 { background-color: var(--background-color-success-subtle, #dff2eb); margin: 1px; } @media screen { html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .test-case-collapsible-b1 { background-color: #453217; } html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .test-case-collapsible-b2 { background-color: #233566; } html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .test-case-collapsible-b3 { background-color: #003500; } } 4zvdccn8d5uaexdh25cj796l4qcwmx4 828 13652 50930 2026-05-11T15:48:50Z SyntaxTerror 11090 Created page with "-- This module processes configuration data for use in -- [[Module:Template test case]].

With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple ''simultaneous'' keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates. Example : {{tc|key press|A}} → {{key press|A}} As lower-case alphabetic characters a–z do not appear on most keyboards, they should {{tooltip|generally|Documenting the usage of historical full keyboards (q.v.) might be an exception, as those actually have separate lower-case keys.}} not be used as parameters. ===Keystroke combinations=== To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters: : {{tc|key press|Alt|P}} → {{key press|Alt|P}} : {{tc|key press|Ctrl|Alt|Del}} → {{key press|Ctrl|Alt|Del}} When you feed several key names to this template, it adds a "+" (or whatever the contents of the optional ''chain'' parameter) with no spaces around. This means it won't line wrap. But when you show key combinations for instance in a table that might cause items to be too wide. Instead manually build the key combination with spaces around the "+" so it can line wrap: : {{tc|key press|Ctrl}} + {{tlc|key press|Alt}} + {{tlc|key press|Del}} → {{key press|Ctrl}} + {{key press|Alt}} + {{key press|Del}} : {{tc|key press|Ctrl|Alt|Del|5=chain=&amp;#32;+&amp;#32;}} → {{key press|Ctrl|Alt|Del|chain=&#32;+&#32;}} To illustrate sequences where all keys do not need to be pressed simultaneously, the plus signs can be omitted by setting ''chain=''. For example, in most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, [[Alt code]]s can be used to insert the [[plus-minus sign]] (±) by holding down the {{key press|Alt}} key while typing <code>0177</code> with the [[numeric keypad]]: : {{tc|key press|Alt|0}} + {{tlc|key press|1|7|7|chain{{=}}}} → {{key press|Alt|0}}{{key press|1|7|7|chain=}} An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a [[Third-party software component|third-party application]]: : {{tc|Key press|Ctrl|Alt|Shift|Win|Menu|fn|L}} → {{Key press|Ctrl|Alt|Shift|Win|Menu|fn|L}} ===Wikilinks=== If there is an article about the key you can [[WP:wikilink|wikilink]] the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this: * {{tc|key press|&#91;&#91;Alt key|Alt&#93;&#93;}} → {{key press|[[Alt key|Alt]]}} If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Alt key|Alt]]</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[Alt]]</nowiki></code>, which leads to a [[WP:Disambiguation page|disambiguation page]]). ===Wiki markup characters=== Some wiki markup characters, like the [[pipe symbol]] “{{Code|{{!}}|mediawiki}}”, the [[semicolon]] “{{Code|;|mediawiki}}” and the [[equals sign]] “{{Code|{{=}}|mediawiki}}”, need to be entered using the {{tlx|!}} ({{Tlx|Pipe}}), {{tlx|;}} and {{tlx|{{=}}}} templates or as an [[HTML entity]] {{Code|&#124;|html}} ({{Code|&#x7C;|html}}), {{Code|&#59;|html}} ({{Code|&#x3B;|html}}), {{Code|&#61;|html}} ({{Code|&#x3D;|html}}) respectively: * {{tc|key press|{{tc|!}}}} → {{key press|{{!}}}} * {{tc|key press|&amp;#124;}} → {{key press|&#124;}} * {{tc|key press|{{tc|&#59;}}}} → {{key press|{{;}}}} * {{tc|key press|&amp;#59;}} → {{key press|&#59;}} * {{tc|key press|{{tc|&#61;}}}} → {{key press|{{=}}}} * {{tc|key press|&amp;#61;}} → {{key press|&#61;}} However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such: * {{tc|key press|<nowiki>[[|]]</nowiki>}} → {{key press|[[|]]}} * {{tc|key press|<nowiki>[[;]]</nowiki>}} → {{key press|[[;]]}} * {{tc|key press|<nowiki>[[=]]</nowiki>}} → {{key press|[[=]]}} Most markup characters also have alias templates: * {{tc|key press|pipe}} → {{key press|pipe}} * {{tc|key press|semicolon}} → {{key press|semicolon}} * {{tc|key press|equals}} → {{key press|equals}} * {{tc|key press|colon}} → {{key press|colon}} * {{tc|key press|asterisk}} → {{key press|asterisk}} * {{tc|key press|hash}} → {{key press|hash}} ===Key symbols=== Several keys have a corresponding [[Unicode]] character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names: * {{tc|key press|Shift}} → {{key press|Shift}} * {{tc|key press|Tab}} → {{key press|Tab}} * {{tc|key press|Enter}} → {{key press|Enter}} * {{tc|key press|Option}} → {{key press|Option}} * {{tc|key press|Opt}} → {{key press|Opt}} * {{tc|key press|Command}} → {{key press|Command}} * {{tc|key press|Cmd}} → {{key press|Cmd}} * {{tc|key press|Caps Lock}} → {{key press|Caps Lock}} * {{tc|key press|Up}} → {{key press|Up}} * {{tc|key press|Down}} → {{key press|Down}} * {{tc|key press|Left}} → {{key press|Left}} * {{tc|key press|Right}} → {{key press|Right}} [[File:AltGr Win Menu Ctrl key.jpg|thumb|200px|Windows key and Menu key]] [[File:Ctl wndws alt.jpg|thumb|200px|Old-style Windows key]] There is no character for the [[Windows key]] or the [[Menu key]], so this template uses as approximations the {{sc2|SQUARED PLUS}} and {{sc2|STRICTLY EQUIVALENT TO}} characters from the [[Mathematical Operators]] Unicode block: * {{tc|key press|Win}} → {{key press|Win}} * {{tc|key press|Menu}} → {{key press|Menu}} ===== Symbol suppression ===== In some cases, the automatic recognition of tokens and consequent addition of symbols may not be desired<!-- for example in [[Reverse Polish notation]] which must distinguish between plain normal Enter (without symbol) and Enter-with_automatic_duplication (with symbol) -->. In these cases, token recognition can be suppressed with the use of [[HTML encoding]]. For example: * <code><nowiki>{{key press|&amp;#x45;nter}}</nowiki></code> → {{key press|&#x45;nter}} * <code><nowiki>{{key press|Enter}}</nowiki></code> → {{key press|Enter}} ====Video games==== Video-game controllers often have specialized input labels that are not easily mapped. The following are mappings for various game consoles and input features. =====Directional input===== The following should be used only when the input sequence uses something other than the primary input, or mixes input between directional devices. * {{tc|key press|l-down}} → {{key press|l-down}} * {{tc|key press|c-left}} → {{key press|c-left}} * {{tc|key press|r-up}} → {{key press|r-up}} Stick-specific diagonals are also supported: * {{tc|key press|l-nw}} → {{key press|l-nw}} * {{tc|key press|c-se}} → {{key press|c-se}} * {{tc|key press|r-ne}} → {{key press|r-ne}} =====PlayStation===== * {{tc|key press|ex}} → {{key press|ex}} * {{tc|key press|circle}} → {{key press|circle}} * {{tc|key press|triangle}} → {{key press|triangle}} * {{tc|key press|square}} → {{key press|square}} {{clear}} ===TemplateData=== {{TemplateDataHeader}} <templatedata> { "description": "Illustrates keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard.

The template works for most scripts that have casing, with the exception of half of the Greek alphabet (namely the unaccented letters α β γ δ θ λ μ ρ σ (but not ς) φ χ ω). In addition, the accents in Greek ΐ ΰ are badly placed: {{sc1|ΐ ΰ}}. This template should be avoided or used sparingly in articles, as the [[MOS:SMALLCAPS|Manual of Style advises]] that small caps should be avoided and reduced to one of the other title cases or normal case, and that [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Keep markup simple|markup should be kept simple]]. {{em|For display of acronyms/initialisms}} in small caps, use {{tlx|Smallcaps2}} (a.k.a. {{tlx|sc2}}) instead. == Usage == {{COinS safe|n|}} Your source text is not altered in the output, only the way it is displayed on the screen: a copy-paste of the text will give the small caps sections in their original form; similarly, an older or non-CSS browser will only display the original text on screen. ; Code : <code><nowiki>{{Smallcaps|Utada}} Hikaru</nowiki></code> ; Displayed: {{Smallcaps|Utada}} Hikaru ; Pasted : Utada Hikaru This template is therefore intended for the use of caps as a typographic style, such as rendering family names in bibliographies in small caps to distinguish them from given names. It should not be used for acronyms or abbreviations which are supposed to be capitalized regardless of style. For such cases, use {{tl|Smallcaps2}}. Small caps should not be used for the abbreviations BC, AD, BCE, CE, etc., per [[MOS:ERA]]. {{As of|2016|02|post=,}} this template cannot be used in citation templates like {{tlx|Cite journal}} to small-cap author names or titles of works in citation styles that call for such typography. See "Notes", below for details. == Technical notes == {{Anchors|Technical|Notes}} * [[Diacritic]]s (å, ç, é, ğ, ı, ñ, ø, ş, ü, etc.) are handled. However, because text formatting is performed by each reader's browser and fonts, inconsistencies in [[CSS]] implementations can lead to some browsers not converting certain rare diacritics. * Use of this template does not generate any automatic categorization. As with most templates, if the argument contains an <code>=</code> sign, the sign should be replaced with {{[[Template:=|=]]}}, or the whole argument should be prefixed with {{para|1}}. And for wikilinks, you need to use piping. There is a parsing problem with MediaWiki which causes unexpected behavior when a template with one style is used within a template with another style. * There is a problem with [[dotted and dotless I]]. <code><nowiki>{{Lang|tr|{{</nowiki>Smallcaps|ı i}}}}</code> may gives you {{Smallcaps|ı ı}}, although the language is set to Turkish, unless the font including localized glyphs for small caps variant. * Do not use this inside {{cs1}} or {{cs2}} templates, or this template's markup will be included in the [[COinS]] metadata. This means that [[reference management software]] such as [[Zotero]] will have entries corrupted by the markup. For example, if {{tl|smallcaps}} is used to format the surname of ''Bloggs, Joe'' in {{tl|cite journal}}, then Zotero will store the name as <code><nowiki><span style="font-variant:small-caps;">Bloggs</span>, Joe</nowiki></code>. This is incorrect metadata. If the article that you are editing uses a citation style that includes small caps, either format the citation manually (see examples below) or use a citation template that specifically includes small caps in its formatting. * This template will not affect the use of HTML character entities like <code>&amp;nbsp;</code>. * Technically, the template is a wrapper for: <code>font-variant: small-caps</code>. * A potential alternative CSS approach, <code>font-variant: small-caps; text-transform: lowercase;</code>, has not been used because it is implemented inconsistently in browsers: it copy-pastes as the original text in Firefox, but as the altered text in Chrome, Safari, Opera, and text-only browsers. ===Suppressing small caps=== If you wish to suppress the display of small caps in your browser, as a logged-in user, you can make an edit to [[Special:MyPage/common.css|your common.css]] reading: span.smallcaps { font-variant-caps: normal !important; } == Examples == {| class="wikitable" |- ! !!

Template {{tl|shortcut}} renders a box, informing editors which [[Wikipedia:Shortcut|shortcuts]] are available for linking to a page or a section of a page. The ''[[Wikipedia:Shortcut|shortcut]]'' family of templates is put into context here, but they each have their own documentation pages, [[#See also|see below]]. A shortcut template is similar to the {{tl|anchor}} template, but it adds a visual ''box'' graphic to the rendered page, as well as providing an alternative name. [[Help:Redirect|Creating a redirect page]] is a requirement to fulfill the shortcut mechanism. == Usage == This template should not be used for articles in the main namespace, because the graphic produces an unavoidable [[WP:SELF|self-reference]]. In templates, it is put in the [[Wikipedia:Template documentation|documentation page]]. # Insert the shortcut template. # Create a redirect page with the {{tl|R from shortcut}} template suffixed to the redirect. Name the page after your shortcut name. Include the namespace name in both the shortcut name and the redirect page name. For example, substitute your own shortcut name as the title of the page, and substitute the proper namespace, then add the REDIRECT as the top-line on your redirect page, and the category to the third line of the redirect: #:<code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[</nowiki>''Namespace'':''Title of page with''#''Optional and possibly very long section name''<nowiki>]]</nowiki><br><br><nowiki>{{R from shortcut}}</nowiki></code> # Verify operation. Note that shortcut templates should display in all capitals, but operate without all capitals. '''Notes''' Shortcuts are used mainly on user pages and talk pages in reference to the Wikipedia, Help, and Portal namespaces. These templates inform about the shortcuts available to the page they are on. For example, [[WP:SHORT]] redirects to [[Wikipedia:Shortcut]] and therefore, Wikipedia:Shortcut renders a shortcut box listing WP:SHORT. It is a self-reference that is normally avoided in the main article namespace. '''Do not list every single redirect for a page'''. Per the [[WP:LINKBOXES]] guideline, list the most common and easily remembered redirects. Use [[Special:WhatLinksHere]] and https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/ to determine which ones are most commonly used. Most linkboxes only show one shortcut. It is rare for three or more shortcuts to be commonly used. == Parameters == {{tl|shortcut}} takes the following parameters: * {{code|1}}, {{code|2}}, {{code|3}}... – the shortcut links. * {{code|float}} – if set to {{code|left}}, the box floats to the left. * {{code|clear}} – if set to {{code|right}}, (or {{code|left}} if {{para|float|left}} is set), the box appears beneath, not beside, another floating element preceding it (infobox, thumbnail etc.). * {{code|msg}} – an unlinked message that goes after the shortcut links. * {{code|category}} – set to "no", "n", "false" or "0" to suppress error categories. == Examples == {| ! Code ! Result |- | style="vertical-align:top;" | {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|WP:SHORT}} | {{<!---->{{BASEPAGENAME}}|WP:SHORT}} |- | style="vertical-align:top;" | {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|WP:V|WP:VERIFY|WP:SOURCE}} | {{<!---->{{BASEPAGENAME}}|WP:V|WP:VERIFY|WP:SOURCE}} |- | style="vertical-align:top;" | {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|WP:V|WP:VERIFY|4=msg=A message}} | {{<!---->{{BASEPAGENAME}}|WP:V|WP:VERIFY|msg=A message}} |} == Anchors == These templates automatically add an [[HTML element#Anchor|anchor]] for each shortcut name parameter. For example, if a shortcut box with the shortcut [[WP:SHORT]] is placed on the page [[Wikipedia:Shortcut]], then the link [[Wikipedia:Shortcut#WP:SHORT]] will take you to the position in the page where that shortcut box is placed. Examples: [[#WP:SHORT]], and [[MOS:MATH#TONE]] This makes it easier to create a shortcut for a section of a page, because you can refer to the anchor when creating the shortcut redirect itself. Like this: :<code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Pagename#WP:SHORT]] {{R from shortcut}}</nowiki></code> == Positioning == This template is usually placed below the section header or at the top of a page. Before July 26, 2010, when the anchor was inside the box, this caused the section header to scroll above the page window. Fixes for this issue included: * Placing the shortcut above the section header; a bit confusing when editing * Creating the redirect to the section header, not the shortcut; this would break if the section header was renamed * Placing an {{tl|anchor}} in the section header that duplicated the shortcut These fixes are no longer needed, but do not break the current implementation. == TemplateData == <!-- The <nostrip> comments are necessary to work around bugs in [[Module:Plain text]] --> {{Format TemplateData|<templatedata> { "description": "This template displays one or more of a template's shortcuts.", "format": "inline", "params": { "template": { "label": "Template?", "description": "Whether this is a list of shortcuts for a Template. <p><!--nostrip-->'''See also:''' <code><!--nostrip-->{{[[Template:Template shortcut|Template shortcut]]}}</code></p>", "default": "0", "autovalue": "1", "type": "boolean" }, "redirect": { "label": "Redirect?", "description": "Whether to refer to the “shortcut/s” as “redirect/s” instead.", "default": "0", "autovalue": "1", "type": "boolean" }, "target": { "label": "Target?", "description": "Whether to omit the <code><!--nostrip-->redirect=no</code><!--nostrip--> URL parameter.", "default": "0", "autovalue": "1", "type": "boolean" }, "float": { "label": "Float", "description": "The CSS <code><!--nostrip-->float</code><!--nostrip--> property value.", "default": "right", "suggestedvalues": [ "left", "right" ], "type": "string" }, "clear": { "label": "Clear", "description": "The CSS <code><!--nostrip-->clear</code><!--nostrip--> property value.", "suggestedvalues": [ "left", "right", "both" ], "type": "string" }, "category": { "label": "Categorize", "description": "Whether to add pages to the error category if no alias or <code><!--nostrip-->msg</code><!--nostrip--> is specified.", "default": "1", "autovalue": "0", "type": "boolean" }, "msg": { "label": "Message", "description": "An unlinked message that goes after the shortcut links.", "type": "content" }, "1": { "label": "Shortcut 1", "description": "Page/section shortcut 1", "required": true, "type": "wiki-page-name" }, "2": { "label": "Shortcut 2", "description": "Page/section shortcut 2", "type": "wiki-page-name" }, "3": { "label": "Shortcut 3", "description": "Page/section shortcut 3", "type": "wiki-page-name" }, "4": { "label": "Shortcut 4", "description": "Page/section shortcut 4", "type": "wiki-page-name" }, "5": { "label": "Shortcut 5", "description": "Page/section shortcut 5", "type": "wiki-page-name" }, "6": { "label": "Shortcut 6", "description": "Page/section shortcut 6", "type": "wiki-page-name" }, "7": { "label": "Shortcut 7", "description": "Page/section shortcut 7", "type": "wiki-page-name" }, "8": { "label": "Shortcut 8", "description": "Page/section shortcut 8", "type": "wiki-page-name" }, "9": { "label": "Shortcut 9", "description": "Page/section shortcut 9", "type": "wiki-page-name" } }, "paramOrder": [ "template", "redirect", "target", "float", "clear", "category", "msg", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9" ] } </templatedata>}} == See also == {{Shortcut templates}} <includeonly>{{Sandbox other|| <!--Categories below this line, please; interwikis at Wikidata--> [[Category:Shortcut templates]] }}</includeonly> e7n0deh4lrxtt1gycihxp0hxdin7r11 12 13683 50962 2026-05-11T17:15:55Z SyntaxTerror 11090 Created page with "'''Templates''' are the backbone of Wikipedia, but Wikipedia in Luganda (lgwiki) mostly relies on Wikipedia in English (enwiki) templates and modules, so the compatibility between these two Wikipedias is very important when it comes to templates.
