Support request with team editing experiment project

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta. (nicht signierter Beitrag von Micru (Diskussion | Beiträge) 11:32, 30. Apr. 2015 (CEST))

Adminkandidaten: Jürgen Oetting, Björn Hagemann, Weissbier, Queryzo, Ali1610, Funkruf, Nicola, Siechfred, Achim Raschka, Alraunenstern, HOPflaume, Barnos, Hans Haase, Kritzolina
Wettbewerbe: Wiki Loves Earth 2015
Umfragen in Vorbereitung: Wiedereinführung von Wikipedia:Konfliktmeldung
Kurier – rechte Spalte: FFW eingestellt, Sockenpuppen-Wahlkampf
Projektneuheiten:

• (Softwareumstellung) Alle bisher noch nicht umgestellten WMF-Wikis inkl. der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia wurden auf Version 1.26wmf2 umgestellt. Dadurch ergeben sich folgende Änderungen:

Für Jedermann

• (Softwareneuheit) Auf den Seiteninformationen (Beispiel) wird angezeigt, wann eine Seitensperre ausläuft (Task 94129, Gerrit:200828).
• (JavaScript) Die veralteten Importfunktionen importScriptURI/importStylesheetURI geben Warnungen in der Browserkonsole aus, wenn sie verwendet werden. (Task 95964, Gerrit:203293, Gerrit:206078).
  Das bedeutet für die persönlichen JavaScript-Anpassungen, dass sie nun allmählich gemäß JS/Obsolet aktualisiert werden müssten, nachdem bereits seit Februar 2011 das Nachfolgesystem angeboten wird.
  Dies war zunächst auch für importScript/importStylesheet vorgesehen; auch dafür wäre Benutzer-JS allmählich zu modernisieren, da ein Ende der Unterstützung absehbar ist. Einen glücklichen Ersatz gibt es hier aber einstweilen nicht.

Für Programmierer

• (API) Add license info to API help output (Task 93994, Gerrit:202415).

Tech News: 2015-20

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can now make charts and maps on your wiki with the new "graph" tool. If you have an old browser, you will see images instead. It uses a tool called Vega; you can learn how to use it and write help pages for your wiki. You can use the Vega edit tool to make charts and copy the code to your wiki. Charts and maps use complex code and you should put them into templates. In the future, you will be able to create charts with VisualEditor. [29] [30] [31]
• You can apply for technical jobs to develop tools for the community. [32]
• The logos of all wikis are now in a new place. It will make pages load faster. You can still ask to change the logo. You can also use local CSS for brief changes. [33] [34]

Problems

• There was a problem that caused slow editing. [35]
• Pages were sometimes removed from your watchlist in VisualEditor. This problem is now fixed. [36]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since May 6. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from May 12. It will be on all Wikipedias from May 13 (calendar).
• You can now use data from Wikidata on more pages. The page doesn't need to be linked to the Wikidata item. It works on a few wikis and more wikis will be added soon. [37] [38]
• You should get fewer errors when you add files to Commons. [39]
• When you use an external link to link to a wiki page, VisualEditor now converts it to a wiki link. [40]
• When you add a link in VisualEditor, you see pages that match what you type. It is now easier to see where they match. [41]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs are the most important. The meeting will be on May 13 at 18:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Samstag Sauerland-Stammtisch in Wenden

Hallo Der Buckesfelder,
am nächsten Samstag, 16. Mai, findet der nächste Sauerland-Stammtisch statt. Wir treffen uns in der einizigen Gemeinde des Kreises Olpe, die wir noch nicht besucht haben: Wenden. Um 14:45 Uhr treffen wir uns an der Dörnschlade-Kapelle (Parkplatz) und erhalten dort eine kleine Führung. Anschließend geht es weiter zu einer Besichtigung der Wendener Hütte, Hammerwerkstraße 6, ebenfalls mit einer Führung. Danach machen wir noch einen kleinen Rundgang durch Wenden auf eigene Faust und können dabei z.B. auch noch fehlende Baudenkmäler fotografieren.
Du bist uns wie immer herzlich willkommen und kannst jederzeit dazustoßen. Bitte entnehme weitere Informationen wie immer der Seite Wikipedia:Sauerland, wo du dich auch zur Teilnahme anmelden kannst. Bis Samstag! --Stefan »Στέφανος« ‽ 10:49, 12. Mai 2015 (CEST)

Wikidata weekly summary #163

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Discussions
  • German language Wikipedia closed its RfC on usage of Wikidata data. As a result Wikidata data can be used on the project as long as it happens through a template and it has a non-Wikimedia reference.
• Events/Blogs/Press
  • Past: Office hour on IRC. We talked about cool things that happened around Wikidata over the past 3 months got an update on upcoming developments and Freebase and more. You can read the log.
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • en:South Pole Telescope is a nice example of an infobox completely filled from Wikidata.
  • Q20150617 was created on 2015-06-17
  • More data from Freebase have been added the Primary Sources Tool. There is also a page to help the mapping of Freebase properties.
  • Nice new manual for MixnMatch
  • The new nature.com/ontologies links to external ontologies and datasets; among them Wikidata.
  • National Gallery of Art and the J. Paul Getty Museum now have entries for all their paintings on Wikidata thanks to wiki project Sum of all Paintings
• Did you know?
  • Newest properties: takeoff and landing capability, Discogs label ID, Discogs master ID, Discogs artist ID, Encyclopaedia Metallum band id, investor, second surname in Spanish name, CulturaItalia ID, BerlPap identifier, Mapillary id, National Library of Ireland authority
  • Newest WikiProjects: Cross Items Interwikis
• Development
  • Made a small API breaking change to wbeditentity and wbgetclaims modules. Details can be seen in the commit message of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/217885/
  • Worked more on unit support
  • Fixed an issue where you'd sometimes select the wrong value when entering a statement unintentionally (phabricator:T98471)
  • Switched the whole code base to make use of DataModel 3.0
  • The concept of “claims” no longer exists in Wikibase, as all places in the software work with statements. We are making this more and more explicit in the code.
  • The autoloading mechanism of the extension changed, see phabricator:T100813
  • More work on getting the Wikibase Quality extensions ready for deployment. They'll improve constraint checking and provide checks against 3rd party databases.
  • Special:UnconnectedPages had to be reworked (thanks Amir!) because of huge performance issues. Because of this it loses some functionality (being able to specify where the list starts and limiting the list to pages that have local interwiki links). We're working on bringing functionality back without the performance penalty.
  • Bene* created a SPARQL abstraction layer for PHP called Asparagus: https://github.com/Benestar/asparagus
  • Enabled arbitrary access on arwiki, cawiki, eswiki, huwiki, kowiki, rowiki, ukwiki, viwiki, and usage tracking on dewiki, ruwiki, cswiki and all s3 wikis. (ruwiki and cswiki get arbitrary access on June 23)
  • Finishing work on improved handling “invalid” values and statements with deleted properties.
  • Small breaking DOM change: Wikibase no longer adds its own h1 tag but uses MediaWiki's default .firstHeading element. (phabricator:T93534)
• Monthly Tasks
  • Hack on one of these.
  • Help fix these items which have been flagged using Wikidata - The Game.
  • Help develop the next summary here!
  • Contribute to a Showcase item
  • Help translate or proofread pages in your own language!
  • Add labels, in your own language, for the new properties listed above.

Wikidata weekly summary #153

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Events/Blogs/Press
  • Wikidata by country, or: The Wealth of Nation's Data
  • Wikidata the Game - one year in
  • Ongoing: GLAM-Wiki 2015
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Build a RSS image feed based on a query
  • Periodic table based on Wikidata data by Ricordisamoa
  • ~8000 biographical items with dates in the description, but no birth/death date statements
  • Magnus says ~8% (~1.4M) of all Wikidata items do not have any site links to Wikipedia etc.; knowledge that exists exclusively on Wikidata
  • Bene* wrote a user script that adds a filter bar above the statement section and lets you filter it
  • Magnus wrote a quick user script to move identifiers into the right sidebar to show how a statement section without identifiers would look like. This came up as part of a longer discussion on the mailinglist about moving identifier statements into their own section. Progress is being tracked at phabricator:T95287.
  • Samsung releases Freebase-Wikidata mappings in CC0: 4.4M pairs generated from Wikipedia links and custom code
  • Thanks to Bene* hovercards now also work for items and properties
  • New tool by Magnus for Wikidata item labels
• Did you know?
  • Newest properties: short name, list of episodes, named as
  • New task forces: Star Wars, Open Access
• Development
  • We are going to change the way value suggestions are ranked when entering a new statement. This will help with "male" and "female" not showing up among the top suggestions. Previously we ranked by number of sitelinks. We will change this to the maximum of sitelinks and labels. So if an item has labels in many languages but no sitelinks like "male" and "female" it will still show up high in the suggestions. (phabricator:T94404)
  • Discussed how to move forward with identifiers. Outcome: They should get their own datatype. (phabricator:T95287)
  • Implemented arbitrary access for the {{#property:…}} parser function. This can be invoked on the wikis that have arbitrary access enabled by using {{#property:P123|from=Q42}}. So far this is only Wikidata itself.
  • Did further performance work on the client (Wikipedia and co) in preparation for arbitrary access
  • Improved the performance of wbgetentities significantly when loading a large number of entities
  • Wrote more browser tests for different datavalues
  • Further work on RDF mapping and dumps
  • Fixed in other language box showing old data (phabricator:T90893)
  • Fixed language fallback on Special:Recent changes and Special:Contributions
  • Added language fallback for the tooltip on badge icons
• Monthly Tasks
  • Hack on one of these.
  • Help fix these items which have been flagged using Wikidata - The Game.
  • Help develop the next summary here!
  • Contribute to a Showcase item
  • Help translate or proofread pages in your own language!

Löschung von alten Temporärkopien

Hallo Der_Buckesfelder,

in deinem Benutzernamensraum befinden sich eine oder mehrere alte Temporärkopien. Aus lizenzrechtlichen Gründen müssen diese vier Wochen, nachdem sie erstellt worden sind, gelöscht werden. Du kannst entweder selbst einen Schnelllöschantrag stellen oder sieben Tage warten, bis die Temporärkopie(n) gelöscht wird bzw. werden. Du findest die Temporärkopie(n) in dieser Liste. Falls du Fragen zu diesem Vorgehen hast, kannst du sie mit einem Klick auf diesen Link stellen.

Beste Grüße, XenonX3
