Een: n / ne / nen

Wanneer schrief je 'n', 'ne' of 'nen' in t Tweants/Achterhoeks (ne stad/ne gemeente?)? In t Veluws he'w dat niet dus vandaor da'k t niet helemaole begriepe. Bie ons he'w wel da'j bie de-woorden vake 'ene' zegen en bie t-woorden 'een' (ene (1) ko/ene (1) appel/ene (1) schoele, een (1) raam/een (1) vliegtuug/een (1) dier). Misschien n goed idee um dat bie de Tweantse taalwiezer te vermelden (as t uut te dujen is :-)). Groetnis Servien (overleg) 21:58, 2 jan 2015 (CET)

Ligt an t woordgeslacht: n bi'j onziedig, ne bi'j vrouwelik, nen bi'j mannelik. Dus m/v is in t Achterhooks belangrieker as in t Nederlaands. Dus: n huus, ne vrouwe, nen keerl. Um t nog wat ondudeliker te maken: in t dageliks spraokgebroek wörd t bepaold lidwoord veur mannelike weurde (den) vake oetesprokken as 'n: Ik lag in t zekenhoes. To kwamp 'n dokter de kamer in: Ik lag in het ziekenhuis. Toen kwam DE dokter de kamer binnen. Onbepaold zol dan waen: Ik lag in t zekenhoes. To kwamp der nen dokter de kamer in. Ik lag in het ziekenhuis. Toen kwam er EEN dokter de kamer in. Veur vrouwelik is dat neet zo verwarrend: To kwamp DE zuster de kamer in / To kwamp NE zuster de kamer in. OP Achterhooksen_taalwiezer#Lidwoorden wörd t trouwens wal beneumd. Wat daor, zee'k no, neet steet, is dat telweurde as bi'jveuglik naamwoord vake gin -e kriegt, maor op zichzelf staond wal: Den boer hef tien beeste, t bunt der dus tie:ne.

Precies zo as Draodnaegel et beskrif, Servien :). Goodgoan in 2015 trouwens. Kö'w neet met mekoar ofsprekken de'w in elk geval 1 artikel per moand doot? Dan zit der wier wat verniejing in. Of wat mear oetdaging: 6000 artikelen vuur Augustus? Woolters (overleg) 14:46, 4 jan 2015 (CET)

Daor he'j gelieke an Woolters. Ik zal wat meer proberen bie te dragen, oek t veurblad was n bietjen vergeten, mer oek dat is weer bie. Van de weke he'k vier artikels eschreven, dus disse maond niks meer schrieven? :-P 6.000 artikels is n mooi streven, mer dan mu'w der in n half jaor tied 615 artikels bie hebben, dat is gemiddeld 100 artikels per maond... 5500 artikels tot augustus 2015 dat mut te doon ween (20 artikels per maond), a'w dat mit zien allen doon (Servien, Woolters, Grönneger 1, Ni'jluuseger, Droadnaegel en NGolds20) dan mu'w allemaole 4 artikels per maond schrieven.

• ....gesprökkene sproake wörd et onbeklemtoonde den vake verkortt töt 'n, zodet et verwarrend genog onziedig kan lieken.. Ik denk dat dat neet onziedig is, maor onbepaold.
• Anvulling: meeste woorden met n -tie (of -sie/ tsie of hoo'j t dan ok maor skrieft) oetgang bunt ok vrouwelik (revolutsie, positsie e.z.w.). Meeste woorden op -ing bunt vrouwelik, maor dan mot -ing wal n suffix/achterplaksel waen, hering is bi'jveurbeeld weer mannelik) Droadnaegel (overleg) 18:03, 30 mrt 2015 (CEST)

VisualEditor News #1—2015

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

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

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

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

Looking ahead

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

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

Let's work together

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

Aandere titel veur "Inhoudsopgave"

Op heden steet der as titel bie de inhoudsopgave Kömp an bod, mer ik weet niet of dat wel zo passend is. Zwat alle wiki's gebruken daorveur n variaant van t woord inhoud. Noen is t zo dat dit woord in de verschillende Nedersaksiese dialekten op alderbarstends veule manieren uutespreuken kan wörden:

• inhoud (West-Veluwe, Apeldoorne, De Kuunder)
• in-oud (Urk, Blokziel)
• inhold (algemeen)
• in-old (sommige Noordwest-Overiesselse dialekten)
• inhoold (Stellingwarfs, en sommige Twentse dialekten)
• inhoald (sommige Twentse dialekten)
• ienhold (Gronings)
• ienhoald (Gronings)

Wat hadden julen der grege ezien?

• inhoud (umdat alle vertaalde systeemteksten in t West-Veluws eschreven bin)
• inhoud / inhold (de twee heufdvorms)
• overzicht (t woord 'inhoud' niet gebruken, de Noord-Friese wiki gebruukt 'Auersicht')
• onderwarpen
• kömp an bod (zo laoten as t is)
• wat aanders...

Groetnis Servien (overleg) 22:55, 19 feb 2015 (CET)

Ich zów veur "inhold" gaon veur versjillige raejene. Alderieës ómdet 't, wie ich geluif, de houfvorm is en 't meiste veurkump (inne neugetieëndjen ieëf ouch in 't Wès-Veluws!); t'n twieëdje ómdet 't aafwiek van 't Hóllesj - det höbbe "inhoud" en "overzicht" neet mit ;) "onderwarpen" liek mich ouch dèkkendj. "kömp an bod" kan ouch, meh klink e bietje te informeel (al is det netuurlik lestig te zègke veur 'ne neet-moderspraokkaller). --Ooswesthoesbes (overleg) 16:07, 20 feb 2015 (CET)

Ik bun t met Ooswesthoesbes eens, inhold, of inholdsopgave is t beste. A'k aem de de spraokpurist oet gao hangen: in nds-de gif t Inholt, in Oldsaksaksies ok inholt, in Oldnederlaands trouwens ok, dat is in Middelnederlaands pas inhoud eworden. Dus ik geleuf dat West-Veluws inhoud be-invlood is deur t Nederlaands, en dat t zuverste Saksiese woord inhold is. Um konsekwent te waen met de rest van de teksten in t WVEL kan ik met inhold (inhoud) ok wal laeven. En, net as OWTB zei, a'w een good woord hebt dat net wat aanders is as t Hollaands, he'k dat lever. Droadnaegel (overleg) 00:57, 21 feb 2015 (CET)

Bedankt veur t meedenken. Ik vun allinnig mer inhoud oek niet echt Saksies staon (t West-Veluws is in dat opzicht inderdaod beïnvleud deur t Hollaands), ik heb der mer 'inhold' van emaakt (t wik wel aof van de aandere systeemteksten, mer daor kan'k mee leven ), -opgave he'k der niet an-eplakt went oek daor ku'j weer kiezen uut: opgave, opgaove en opgifte, t is mien wat . Servien (overleg) 19:31, 21 feb 2015 (CET)

Inhold kan ik ook met leawen. 'opgawe' is mie dan wier te Hollaands Plat. Ik zol doar dan 'oawerzicht' vuur zeggen. Of a'j echt wat aparts weelt, nemt dan et Vjens: waverzich. Of riege(l). Inholdsriege. Woerumme neet? Kiekt mer wa'j der met doot. Woolters (overleg) 13:54, 23 feb 2015 (CET)

Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content

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

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

Wist je dat

Sorry dat ik jullie even stoor voor iets waar we jullie niet al te veel tijd voor willen vragen. Op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia bedenken we momenteel in het Wist je dat-project nieuwe weetjes voor op de voorpagina. We denken dat het leuk kan zijn, om uit elke taalregio in Nederland en Vlaanderen twee of drie weetjes te krijgen (minder of meer vinden we ook goed). Daar zouden namelijk hele interessante uit kunnen voortkomen, zo is onze gedachte. Die hoeven niet per se over taal te gaan, maar kunnen over van alles en nog wat gaan waar er juist lokaal kennis over is. Om de hulp in aantallen doen we het niet, want het project loopt goed en we denken over een week of zeven à tien klaar te zijn. Hopelijk wordt het idee sympathiek opgevat. In ieder geval bedankt voor de tijd en eventueel voor de moeite. Heel veel succes gewenst met deze taalversie van Wikipedia! Met vriendelijke groet, Ymnes (overleg) 17:47, 17 mrt 2015 (CET)

Daor mo'w toch wal n paar dingen neumen können:

• Wist je dat het Nedersaksisch gesproken wordt van het (noord)oosten van Nederland tot aan Denemarken en Polen?
• Wist je dat het Nedersaksisch in de Hanzetijd (lang voordat het Standaardnederlands bestond) een belangrijke rol als 'lingua franca' vervulde?
• Wist je dat delen van de Achterhoek eigenlijk toebehoorden aan het vorstbisdom Münster, ten onrechte door de heren van Gelre toegeëigend zijn, waarna Bommen Berend er niet in slaagde de gebieden terug te halen? (zie onder meer Heerlijkheid Borculo)

Laot maor heuren, der bunt der vast nog völle meer. Droadnaegel (overleg) 01:06, 21 mrt 2015 (CET)

Dat zijn inderdaad voorstellen die we kunnen gebruiken. Wel hebben we de tweede al in vergelijkbare woorden (zie hier op nummer 7). Naast de pagina die ik een paar dagen geleden hierboven al noemde (een soort inhoudsopgave naar alle onderliggende pagina's), is deze pagina als ingang wel gemakkelijk. In de eerste kolom staan de weetjes die we al goedgekeurd hebben en in de tweede kolom kun je klikken op voorstellen om een nieuw weetje aan te dragen. Ik zou de eerste in de categorie Taal voorstellen en de derde in de categorie Geschiedenis. Ymnes (overleg) 08:11, 21 mrt 2015 (CET)

Je mag ze er trouwens zelf voorstellen hoor. Als er overleg is, dan is dat constructief en aardig. So don't be affraid, om het op goed Nedersaksisch te zeggen Ymnes (overleg) 22:44, 21 mrt 2015 (CET)

Nog bedankt voor jullie bijdragen trouwens. Vijf weetjes kregen we vanuit het Nedersaksisch. Top! Ymnes (overleg) 18:28, 11 apr 2015 (CEST)

Nedersaksiese benamingen bie artikels

Zo as iederene wel weet he'w n Nedersaksies woordenboek of disse wiki. Vake wördt t een en aander bewarkt (dingen derbie ezet, fouten deruut ehaold, enz.), mer dat zörgt der vake wel veur da'w bie t Nedersaksies woordeboek n ouwere versie hebben staon as op n artikel zelf (of aandersumme), um dat te verbeteren ku'w beter mit mallen warken (zo as op tuterink#Nedersaksies) en dit tegeliekertied bie t woordeboek zetten, zoda'w t op meerdere plekken t zelfde hebben. Mer wulen hebben natuurlik oek nog wikiwoordeboek, wao'w in prinsipe oek alles kwiet kunnen, mer ja dan he'j gien overzicht op t artikel zelf mit wat ze waor zegen (mer deurverwiezing naor wikiwoordeboek vanzelf). Servien (overleg) 15:29, 2 apr 2015 (CEST)

Dat is n good idee, Servien, daor he'k zelf ok wal es aover lopen denken. Ik bun veur, en nog mooier zol t waen a'w t formaot van de mallen op nds-wikt en nds-nl wikipedie t zelfde zolden kriegen, dan kö'w makkelik hen en weer kopieren. Droadnaegel (overleg) 01:03, 4 apr 2015 (CEST)

Bi'jveurbeeld wikt:nds:Vörlaag:V Stuork, V/layout kan dan hier iets as mal:nds/tabel worden, met de tabelindeling en namen veur de dialekten. Droadnaegel (overleg) 22:04, 4 apr 2015 (CEST)

Ik heb n schoft zitten knooien mit de mal Mal:Nds/tabel (en as veurbeeld: Mal:Nds/tabel/probeersel) zo a'j dat veurstelden Droadnaegel. t Was effen zeuken umdat ze daor mit modules warken, mer volgens mien kömp zoks redelik in de buurte. Mer je mutten mer effen kieken wat der aanders mut, bv. of van de Platduutse dialekten in de mal mutten blieven staon, o'w de Platduutse variaanten hier oek op willen nemen (as blok dernaost). Oek naor de opmaak mu'w nog effen kieken, de verwiezingen ku'j der haost niet in laoten (aanders krie'j heel wat deurverwiezingen derbie, en o'j dat willen is n tweede), mer oek o'j dat blauwe blok derin hebben willen. n Verwiezing naor Wikiwoordeboek, veur t vollejige overzicht, zol oek gien slicht idee ween. Servien (overleg) 00:36, 7 apr 2015 (CEST)

Ik bin weer effen an de gang ewest mit de mal veur de Nedersaksiese variaanten. Umdat t overzicht soms wat lang kan wörden, zo as op Mal:Nds/tabel/probeersel, en je t in disse mal niet opbreken kunnen in twee kolommen, za'k deran te denken um t standard in-eklapt te hebben staon (zoas op Mal:Nds/tabel/kiezen). De eerste tabel blif zo groot as e noen is, de tweede tabel wördt brejer a'j t uutklappen (as der tekste in steet).

Ik heb nog ne variaant emaakt Mal:Nds/tabel2, zonder klaptabel, en met twee kolommen, en zonder randjes en kleurkes (denk der an dat op bv Nedersaksies O den mal ok meermaols steet). Klapdivs he'w trouwens al, en de klaptabel.js dee'j no derbi'j ezat hebt is deprecated. In/oetklappen dut t ok neet op mobiele tellefoons of a'j Javascript oet hebt staon.

Ik heb trouwens n paor anpassingen emaakt: as "wikt=" leeg is, dan kömp t der niet bie te staon (dan wördt waorschienlik oek verkeerd weeregeven), en ik heb der n evt. darde kolom bie edaon veur de Duutse variaanten (mer die zu'w waorschienlik niet zo vake gebruken), dan he'j t spul in ieder geval bie mekaar staon.

A'k van gos, gos_k make, dan gebeurt der niks, hoe do'j dat dan? Ik heb Mal:Nds/tabel/probeersel toe-epast op t artikel stoark (daorveur mos ik 'Mal:Kolommen2' wel iets opschuven naor links (van 48% naor 38%) en an de rechterkaante iets inkorten (oek naor 38%), dus bie 250px past de tabel prima, mer a'j de aofbeelding op t artikel vergroten naor 300px of 400px dan trekt de boel wat scheef, wee'jie hoe'j dat anpassen (dat t inkrimp zo as bie Mal:Gelderlaand)?

Stewards confirmation rules

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep. As this is an issue that affects all WMF wikis, I'm sending this notification to let people know & be able to participate. Best regards, --MF-W 18:13, 10 apr 2015 (CEST)

VisualEditor News #2—2015

Did you know?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Looking ahead

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

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

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections

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

Greetings,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On behalf of the Elections Committee,

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

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

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

Thank you,

Bijwonen uitreiking Erasmusprijs

Excuses voor het Nederlands.
Gefeliciteerd met de Erasmusprijs! Op woensdag 25 november 2015 reikt de Koning de Erasmusprijs uit aan vertegenwoordigers van de internationale Wikipediagemeenschap. Het winnen van de Erasmusprijs is een erkenning voor het werk van alle Wikipedianen wereldwijd.
Tijdens de uitreiking van de Erasmusprijs kan een afvaardiging van Wikipedia-bewerkers aanwezig zijn als toeschouwer. De Stichting Praemium Erasmianum (SPE) heeft aan de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (WMNL) gevraagd om een lijst van zestig in Nederland of België woonachtige Wikipedianen. We willen de hulp van de Wikipedia-gemeenschap inroepen bij het vaststellen van deze lijst. Op basis van welke criteria moet worden bepaald welke Wikipedianen door de SPE kunnen worden uitgenodigd?

VisualEditor News #3—2015

Did you know?

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

The link tool has been re-designed:

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

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

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

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

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

VisualEditor News #3—2015

Did you know?

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

The link tool has been re-designed:

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

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

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

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

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

HTTPS

Apologies for writing in English.

Hi everyone.

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

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

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

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.

How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

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

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

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming

(Sorry for writing in English)

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

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

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

How to use it, once it is enabled:

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

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is here

(Sorry for writing in English)

Hi everyone,

As I have previously announced here we have now enabled the arbitrary access feature here. This means from now on you can make use of data from any Wikidata item in any article here. Before you could for example only access data about Berlin in the article about Berlin. If you want to find out more or have questions please come to d:Wikidata:Arbitrary access. I hope this will open up great possibilities for you and make your work easier. Cheers Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) 15:32, 12 aug 2015 (CEST)

VisualEditor News #4—2015

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

Did you know?

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

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

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

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

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

Wikimania

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

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

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

Future changes

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

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

Let's work together

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