Tech News: 2018-02

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

• On Wikidata, the "speichern" button when you edit is now called "veröffentlichen". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "Seite speichern" to "Änderungen veröffentlichen". This is to help new editors understand what it does. [1][2]
• Some edits will get an automatic tag on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways. [3]
• Special:UnusedFiles shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons only shows files that are not used on any wiki. [4]
• Structured discussions now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation has been updated. [5][6]

Problems

• Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work. The developers are looking into the problem. [7]
• With the new filters in the recent changes, "Ausgewählte ausschließen" in "Namensräume" did not work for "Gespeicherte Filter" between 13 December and 2 January. When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again. [8]
• The latest version of Google Chrome broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see #R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9 instead of #Résumé even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March). [9]
• Some POST requests to the API took longer than usual in parts of December. This affected the Wikidata UI and some gadgets the most. It has now been fixed. [10]

Changes later this week

• Wikidata will be moved to its own database servers. This is because it is growing and needs more resources. Because of this you will be able to read but not edit Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis. [11]
• The font size in the editing window will change slightly for some users. It will now look the same on all browsers and operating systems. [12][13]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 January. It will be on all wikis from 11 January (calendar).
• WikiEditor's ResourceLoader modules have been simplified to one: ext.wikiEditor. All the other modules are now deprecated aliases and should be removed. [14]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 9 January at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

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

• Bureaucrats on Wikimedia wikis where the Translate extension is installed can now add and remove the translation administrator permission by default. Administrators of wikis where this extension is enabled can add and remove this permission to or from themselves. Wikis that used a different configuration before have not changed. [15]
• There is a new Discourse test support channel for Wikimedia developers. You can ask questions or answer others questions about MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development. [16]

Problems

• Last week's MediaWiki update was rolled back. This was because of a bug that changed non-ASCII characters when a page was edited. [17][18]

Changes later this week

Future changes

• A few hundred wikis with less than ten high-priority errors in Linter categories will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 31 January. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [19][20]

Mentorenprogramm und Mentees mit IK

Liebe Mentorinnen und Mentoren,

da die Fragestellung nun in kürzeren Abständen bereits wiederholt aufgeworfen wurde ist nunmehr angedacht eine Abstimmung zur weiteren Teilhabe von PR-Konten et al im Mentorenprogramm durchzuführen.

Eine Teilhabe an der jüngst aufgefrischten Diskussion und im Fall des Falles natürlich auch an einer möglichen, noch nicht terminierten Abstimmung ist nicht nur erbeten sondern ausdrücklich wünschenswert.

Danke schon jetzt für eine rege Mitwirkung.

Beste Grüße

Tech News: 2018-06

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

• Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to. [26]
• The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language. [27]
• Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded. [28]

Problems

• Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this. [29]

Changes later this week

• When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users. [30]
• When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like gallery widths="150px". You could use em or % instead of px but it would make no difference. You can now only use 150px or nothing (150). If you write something else, instead of treating it like px, it will not work. [31]
• The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of Ja or Nein it will say Thank and Cancel. It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public. [32]
• Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it. [33]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 February at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 7 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Education Program extension will be removed on 30 June. It is replaced by the Programs and Events Dashboard. [34][35]

Technische Wünsche Newsletter: Bitte um Feedback zum neuen Ansatz für die Bearbeitungskonfliktseite

WP:Technische Wünsche/Newsletter

Hallo! Du erhälst diese Nachricht, weil du dich für den Newsletter Technische Wünsche eingetragen hast.

Prototyp des neuen absatz-basierten Ansatzes

Für den Wunsch „Bessere Lösung von Bearbeitungskonflikten“ findet wieder eine Feedbackrunde statt. Dieses Mal geht es darum, einen alternativen Ansatz zu testen, der sich deutlich von dem vorherigen unterscheidet. Zum Ausprobieren wird wieder eine sichere Testumgebung bereitgestellt, mit der man Bearbeitungskonflikte unter echten Bedingungen und mit echten Wikiseiten gefahrlos simulieren kann. Es sind keine besonderen Vorkenntnisse nötig.

Es wäre toll, wenn du dir etwas Zeit dafür nehmen würdest. Die Einschätzung eines jeden Einzelnen hilft dem Entwicklerteam, eine gute Lösung für die zukünftige Bearbeitungskonfliktseite zu finden. Darum gerne mitmachen und weitersagen!

Die Runde läuft vom 12.2. bis 12.3.2018. Mehr Informationen gibt es hier. -- Danke und beste Grüße, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (Diskussion) 18:14, 12. Feb. 2018 (CET)

Workshop zu Katastrophenmanagement

Hallo Ptolusque, du hattest Interesse signalisiert, an dem Workshop zu Wikimedia und Katastrophenmanagement teilzunehmen, als der noch für Februar geplant war. Nun ist er für den 20. März in Berlin geplant, und es wär schön, dich dabei zu haben. Reich die Info bitte auch an andere weiter, die in dem Bereich aktiv sind. Danke und bis bald! -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 18:30, 12. Feb. 2018 (CET)

@Daniel Mietchen: Danke für die Info! Ich werde versuchen, noch potentielle Interessenten zu erreichen. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 19:14, 12. Feb. 2018 (CET)

Tech News: 2018-07

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

• TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator. [36][37][38]
• Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.

Changes later this week

• You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages. [39]
• The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like {{reflist}}, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates. [40]
• The abuse filter extension has a new feature contains_all that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. [41]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 13 February at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 14 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The settings page and beta options for the mobile website are being improved. [42]

Newsletter der Jungwikipedianer (17. Februar 2018)

Hallo Ptolusque!

Kein Vorschlag der Abstimmung über eine Erhöhung des Maximalalters der JWP fand eine Mehrheit, somit bleibt alles wie gehabt und Mitglieder, die 18 werden, scheiden automatisch aus.

Die Abstimmungsphase des Bilderwettbewerbs läuft wieder. Stimme noch bis zum 20. Februar dort für deine Favoriten.

Derzeit laufen Planungen für ein Treffen der Jungwikipedianer im Jahr 2018. Dieses soll im April oder Mai stattfinden, der Ort wurde schon auf Hamburg festgelegt. Beteilige dich doch hier an den Planungen, wenn du Lust hast!

Bis demnächst und vergiss nicht, im Chat der JWP vorbeizuschauen!

• (Softwareneuheit) Das Hochladen und Darstellen von 3D-Modellen im Format STL steht zur Verfügung (Beispiel, Task 184728).
• (Betatest) Es steht ein neues Betafeature zur Verfügung: Visueller Modus auf Versionsvergleichsseiten.
• (Softwareumstellung) Alle bisher noch nicht umgestellten WMF-Wikis inkl. der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia wurden auf Version 1.31.0-wmf.21 umgestellt.

Für Jedermann

• (Softwareneuheit) Der Zugriff auf private Informationen im Missbrauchsfilter-Logbuch wird in einem eigenen Loguch protokolliert (Task 152934, Gerrit:326465). Die zum Abrufen dieser Informationen erforderliche Berechtigung abusefilter-private ist allerdings bislang keinen Benutzern zugewiesen.

Für Programmierer

• (API) ParserOutput: Add 'deduplicateStyles' post-cache transformation. This transformation will find <style> tag with a "data-mw-deduplicate" attribute. For each value of the attribute, the first instance will be kept as-is, while any subsequent tags with the same value will be replaced by a <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style"> with its href referring to the "data-mw-deduplicate" value using a custom scheme (Task 160563, Gerrit:393284).
• (Missbrauchsfilter) Add contains_all and ccnorm_contains_all functions. Added the contains_all function, with basically the same role as contains_any but using logic AND instead of OR. Also added ccnorm_contains_all, that is the same of ccnorm_contains_any but with AND mode (Task 21176, Gerrit:391065).

Wikidata weekly summary #300

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

• Welcome to the 300th Weekly Summary!

The weekly newsletter was started by Lydia at the very beginning of the Wikidata project, even before the first deployment, to keep the community informed about the developments, the new projects and tools. More than five years later, the newsletter is still there, its content powered by the community, and sent every week all along the years. I wanted to say a warm "thank you!" to each person who helped filling the Weekly Summary <3

Over the past years, as you know, Wikidata has grown a lot. More data, more tools, more editors and reusers, more exciting projects led by the community. The Weekly Summary has evolved with us, and the 300th edition seems a good moment to ask you all your suggestions about the newsletter, how it could continue evolving, and how you would like to improve it.

On that purpose, you can find a feedback page to express all your ideas about the Weekly Summary. We're very interested to know more about your reading habits, the parts you're more or less interested in, the new topics you would like to share with the community. Thanks in advance for filling it.

I stay available anytime to discuss with you, feel free to contact me if you have any question or concern! Cheers, Léa

• A selection of cool tools on Wikidata

Here are a few tools that are recommended by some Wikidata community members. External websites, gadgets or scripts, they are very useful for Wikidata editors or users!

• • The Wikidata Query Service is an infinite source of amazing data and one of the best ways to explore and use Wikidata. (TweetsFactsAndQueries)
  • QuickStatements is a powerful tool that can edit or add Wikidata item en masse, via a text editor or importing a spreadsheet. (Éder Porto via Facebook)

  • checkConstraints gadget adds notifications on the interface to easily notice the violation of constraints and help people fixing them (Léa)

Recent changes

• The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed. [43][44]
• You can now see statistics for pageviews per wiki per country. You can see this on maps or in a table. [45]

Problems

• Linter is reporting estimated counts instead of actual counts for some wikis. This is because of performance problems. You might notice a false higher number in linter counts for some categories. This will be fixed as soon as the performance problem has been fixed. [46]
• Last week the way that Visual Editor displays references lists was changed. As a result, the references generated by specific templates like {{sfn}} are not visible in the references list whilst editing. [47][48]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 February. It will be on all wikis from 22 February (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 20 February at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 21 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The way edit summaries and log comments are stored in the database is being changed. In the future this will make longer comments possible. [49]
• Edit conflicts could be solved in a different way in the future. You can test a new prototype.

Sichtbarkeit einer Version der Seite Front National

Hallo, eigentlich wären diese zwei Versionen für die Polizei bzw. Staatsanwaltschaft wichtig gewesen. Gibt es dennoch einen speziellen Link, wo man diese Versionen noch sehen kann? --80.64.180.137 12:47, 1. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Hallo, der Text der Versionen wurde aufgrund von potentieller Volksverhetzung versionsgelöscht und ist somit nur für eingeschränkte Nutzergruppen wie Administratoren oder Oversight-Berechtigte einsehbar. (siehe Hilfe:Versionslöschung) Für weiteres Vorgehen habe ich die Oversight-Berechtigten bereits kontaktiert und @Emergency doc, He3nry, Horst Gräbner, Nolispanmo, Sargoth: hiermit nochmals über deine Nachricht hier informiert. Die Oversight-Berechtigten sind in solchen Fällen der Ansprechpartner. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 13:04, 1. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Hallo Πτολυσϙυε, das Einstellen strafbarer Inhalte und der Umgang damit ist kein Bereich der Oversight. Oversight ist im Prinzip das Tiefenverstecken privater und verleumderischer Daten. Grüße −Sargoth 13:38, 1. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Was aber nicht heißt, dass die Foundation den Strafverfolgungsbehörden nicht Auskunft erteilen würde ..., aber eben nicht die OS-Putzkolonne, --He3nry Disk. 13:54, 1. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Hallo IP, falls du hier noch mitliest: Ansprechpartner ist in diesem Fall also die Wikimedia Foundation, näheres unter Wikipedia:Impressum. Danke an die OS für die Richtigstellungen. VG --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 21:11, 1. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Firmenkonten im Mentorenprogramm

Liebe Mentorinnen und Mentoren,

am 2. Februar d.J. gab ich auf gleichem Wege einen Hinweis auf eine laufende Diskussion zu PR-Konten im Mentorenprogramm und eine hieraus entstandene Abstimmung, deren Terminierung ebenso noch nicht abschließend feststand, wie die letztliche Ausformulierung.

Aus der Diskussion zur Abstimmung war ein reges Für und Wider entnehmbar und der Vorschlag, das Intro unseres Programms zu modifizieren.

Unser Mitmentor Schnabeltassentier stellte während der Diskussion hierzu eine mögliche Version vor, Barnos unternahm nachfolgend erste kleine Änderungen.

Unverändert steht aber letztlich im Raum, Klarheit in der Frage zu gewinnen ob eine überwiegende Mehrheit von zwei Drittel der derzeit stimmberechtigten 68 Mentoren auch künftig PR-Konten (Firmenkonten, PR-Agenturen ...) die Möglichkeit einer Betreuung durch das Mentorenprogramm offen halten möchte oder nicht. Und das unabhängig von der Frage, ob der jeweils einzelne Mentor selbst bereit ist diese Benutzer zu betreuen.

Auf die Optionen WP:Fragen zur Wikipedia und WP:Fragen von Neulingen sei an dieser Stelle verwiesen.

Die Abstimmung läuft vom 5. März 2018 16:00 Uhr bis zum 12. März 2018 16:00 Uhr.

Danke für rege Beteiligung.

Beste Grüße

WvB

Tech News: 2018-11

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

• 3D models can now be uploaded to Commons. [65]
• Page Previews has been updated to use HTML for previews. This has fixed many issues. An A/B test was done on English and German Wikipedia to measure how it is used. Other changes were also made. [66]
• Some edits have to be checked against too many conditions before they can trigger an abuse filter. If that is the reason no filter is triggered the edit will be tagged for review. [67]
• Auto-saving has been added to the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. Right now it is meant to help if your browser crashes or if you accidentally close a tab. [68]

Problems

• The abuse filter did not tag all edits that should have been tagged after last week's MediaWiki version had come to the wikis. It was fixed on 9 March (UTC). [69]

Changes later this week

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. This was originally planned to happen last week. [70]
• It is now possible to specify the block parameters for each filter in Special:AbuseFilter. The parameters include block duration and if the user should be blocked from editing their own talk page. The block duration is separate for anonymous and registered users. [71][72]
• A hundred Wikimedia wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 13 and 14 March. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [73][74][75]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 March. It will be on all wikis from 15 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 13 March at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 14 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Sperre Avoided-Konto

Die von dem Konto produzierten Ableger zu sperren, wäre auch nicht schlecht --Wolfy (wuff!) ^(CVU) 21:46, 20. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Hallo WolfyCO, danke für die Nachricht. Ich bin gerade im Zug unterwegs und meine Internetverbindung ist instabil, daher konnte ich nicht sofort wieder auf das Neuanmeldungslog zugreifen. Drei Nachfolge-Benutzerkonten unbeschränkt gesperrt durch Graphikus und mich. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 22:18, 20. Mär. 2018 (CET)

neue Bestätigung am 20.3.2018

Hallo! Du hast gestern eine neue Bestätigung von Cirdan bei Persönliche Bekanntschaften erhalten. Hier kannst du selber bestätigen. Du bekommst diese Nachricht, weil du in dieser Liste stehst. Gruß --SpBot 04:50, 21. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Neues zum Technischen Wunsch „Einfacheres Einfügen von Geodaten“

Beispielansicht des Tools;
mehr Infos zum Locator-tool

Du erhältst diese Nachricht, weil du dich für den Newsletter Technische Wünsche eingetragen hast.

Ein Wunsch aus der Umfrage 2015 lautet: „Georeferenzierung direkt in Wikimedia Commons integrieren, sodass per Klick auf eine Karte oder per Angabe von Positionsdaten direkt die Vorlage in eine (oder idealerweise auch mehrere) Dateien eingefügt werden kann.“

Seit Mai 2017 kann das mit dem Locator-tool von Benutzer:Simon04 gemacht werden. Das Tool gibt es bereits seit Mai 2017, kürzlich wurde das Filtern nach Dateien, die bereits georeferenziert sind, verbessert.

• Mehr Infos zum Locator-tool

-- Viele Grüße, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (Diskussion) 09:42, 21. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Kannst du bitte mal schauen

Die Einbindungen diese Seite →Modul:WikimediaCEETable P18 lösen massenhaft Skriptfehler aus. Ich weiß nicht woran das liegen könnte. Außerdem ist die Schaltfläche zum Leeren des Caches nicht wirklich anklickbar, weil sie durch das Seitenmenü überdeckt wird. --Liebe Grüße, Lómelinde Diskussion 13:52, 8. Mär. 2018 (CET)

@Lómelinde: Danke für die Nachricht! Schaue ich mir heute Abend an. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 14:21, 8. Mär. 2018 (CET)

@Lómelinde: Der Skriptfehler lautet Die zum Ausführen von Skripten vorgesehene Zeit ist abgelaufen. Es sind keine weiteren Einzelheiten verfügbar. Das Merkwürdige daran ist, dass ohne Änderungen an dem Modul oder den Seiten, welche das Modul verwenden dieser Fehler aufgetreten ist. Dieser Fehler trat bei meinen ersten Versuchen im September 2017 das Modul in Seiten mit >200 einzelnen Abfragen aufzurufen auf, daher hatte ich diese Abfragen auf mehrere Seiten verteilt. Seitdem trat der Laufzeitfehler nicht mehr auf. Könnte etwas an der Parametrierung der Laufzeiten von Modulen in Mediawiki geändert worden sein? Liebe Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 16:44, 9. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Möglich, dass es irgendeine Umstellung gab, denn auch die Radfahrer sind betroffen, auch dort habe ich keinen wirklichen Auslöser gesehen. Aber da bin ich überfragt die Programmierung der Mudule verstehe ich nicht wirklich und wie diese Laufzeiten abgefragt oder wo diese festgesetzt werden auch nicht. Danke fürs Schauen. --Liebe Grüße, Lómelinde Diskussion 06:40, 10. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Kannst du bitte mal bei allen betroffenen Seiten einen wirklichen Nulledit durchführen? Dann sollten die Seiten wieder aus der Kategorie fallen und auch wieder angezeigt werden. Purge reicht nicht unbedingt, Nulledit behebt es zumindest erst einmal, bis der Server wieder einen Aussetzer hat, denke ich. --Liebe Grüße, Lómelinde Diskussion 06:52, 16. Mär. 2018 (CET)

@Lómelinde: Die meisten Seiten mit dem Modul weisen den Fehler nun nicht mehr auf, ohne Änderungen an den Seiten. Einige Seiten sind noch mit Skriptfehlern behaftet Kategorie:Wikipedia:Seite_mit_Skriptfehlern. Phab Ticket? Liebe Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 14:24, 21. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Nein, Nulledits durchführen. Da hing vermutlich irgendwann die Verbindung zum Server. Passiert wohl ab und zu, ich dachte erst es wären echte Fehler. --Liebe Grüße, Lómelinde Diskussion 14:27, 21. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Kannst du abräumen. --Liebe Grüße, Lómelinde Diskussion 15:35, 21. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Kannst Du diese Konten auch bitte hier rauslöschen. Danke. --80.64.180.137 13:33, 21. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Tech News: 2018-13

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

Changes later this week

• Some of the interface icons and text sizes will change slightly, as part of the updates for improved accessibility and consistency. These icons are used in many features, including Notifications, Recent Changes, Beta Features, Visual Editor, 2017 Wikitext Editor, Code Editor, and others. While editor toolbars, dialogs, and menus will appear slightly bigger; elements on special pages will be slightly smaller. Functionality will not change. [79] [80]
• The deprecated #toc and #toctitle CSS ids have been removed. If your wiki was still using these for fake Tables of Content (ToC) then these might lose their styling. They can be replaced with .toc and .toctitle classes where appropriate. [81]
• TemplateStyles will be deployed to the Wikivoyages on 28 March 2018. [82]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 March. It will be on all wikis from 29 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 27 March at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be one hour earlier than usual on 28 March at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• From 9 April, the sort order of categories will be distorted for a short time. We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a maintenance script to update existing database entries. This will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on wiki size. Read more details. [83]
• Changes are coming to search for Serbian projects. Cyrillic and Latin variants of a word and different grammatical forms of a word will be able to find each other. Read more on MediaWiki in Serbian or English.

• User subpages ending in .json will now be protected from other people editing them, like .js and .css pages already are. If you have a tool that stores static configuration, you can now use a subpage like User:Example/mygadget.json to do this without concerns. [88]
• Tidy will be replaced by RemexHtml on the next set of wikis. On April 4, we plan to turn off Tidy on all Wikiquotes (except frwikiquote) and Wikimedia chapters and user groups wikis. 23 wikis will have Tidy replaced this time. [89][90][91]
• AbuseFilter will transition to use OOUI starting April 4, and the rule editor will also be changed to a CodeEditor (ACE) similar to what is found on user JavaScript pages. The move to OOUI will continue over the next few weeks. [92] [93]
• In Special:Preferences, the preference "Sofern ein Filter geändert wurde, die Beobachtungsliste automatisch neu laden (erfordert JavaScript)" is now only visible for users who have opt-out the New Filters for the Watchlist. [94]
• You can see names of individual abuse filters in Special:AbuseLog. Now if the name of an abuse filter contains some wikisyntax like links, it will not change to a link when displayed. [95]
• You can now search through filter patterns at Special:AbuseFilter. You may specify either a plain string or a regular expression and the matching filters will show a snippet of their pattern with the match highlighted. [96]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 3 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 4 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• If you're using, creating or improving Lua modules, you can give your feedback to help harmonizing the modules across wikis and add more useful functions.
• On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with less than 50 entries in all high priority linter categories. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml by end of June 2018. Please follow T175706 to monitor progress of Tidy replacement. [97][98]

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Several Commons community members are working on ways to integrate Wikidata in Wikimedia Commons. While this is not full-fledged structured data yet, this work helps to prepare for future conversion of data, and helps to understand how Wikidata and Commons can work better together.
  • Thanks to Jarekt and other contributors, some Commons templates can now be filled via Wikidata: {{Creator}} (Phabricator) and {{Institution}} (Phabricator). Work is ongoing on the {{Artwork}} template (Phabricator).
  • Thanks to Mike Peel and others, Wikidata-powered infoboxes can now be added to Commons categories, with the template {{Wikidata Infobox}}. (Example)
  • Multichill is working on an experimental workflow to upload images to Commons via Wikidata (and using metadata from Wikidata). See a part of it here.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.

Tech News: 2018-15

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

• Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [99]
• You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [100]
• The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [101]
• Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [102]

Problems

• The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [103]
• For a week in March rollbacks got both the rollback and the undo tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [104]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 April. It will be on all wikis from 12 April (calendar).
• Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. [105]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The iOS and Android apps will get synced reading lists later in April.

Tech News: 2018-16

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

Changes later this week

• Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [106]
• Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (=== and !==) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [107][108]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 April. It will be on all wikis from 19 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 17 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new PDF renderer could not create PDFs from books. Books are in this case collections of pages on a Wikimedia wiki. PediaPress will take over development of the books-to-PDF function. [109]
• Pywikibot will no longer support Python 2.7.2 and 2.7.3. [110]
• Volunteer developers can fill out the Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey. The last day is April 22 (UTC). This is a third-party service survey. See the privacy statement.

Technische Wünsche: Feedbackrunde zu geplanter Änderung beim kommentarlosen Zurücksetzen

WP:Technische Wünsche/Newsletter

So könnte ein Teil der Lösung für das Problem aussehen.

Hallo, du hast dich auf WP:Technische Wünsche/Newsletter eingetragen, um über neue Feedbackrunden informiert zu werden. Danke dafür!

Aktuell werden alle, die kommentarlos zurücksetzen können, um Feedback gebeten: Im Rahmen eines Topwunsches aus der Umfrage 2017 hat das Team Technische Wünsche einen Vorschlag erarbeitet, der die versehentliche Nutzung der Funktion „kommentarlos zurücksetzen“ verhindern soll. Grob gesagt ist geplant, diese Funktion standardmäßig an eine Sicherheitsabfrage zu koppeln und aus Listenansichten zu entfernen. Gleichzeitig soll es möglich sein, in den Einstellungen wieder das Verhalten einzuschalten, wie es aktuell ist. Hier ist der Vorschlag ausführlicher beschrieben.

Zu diesem Vorschlag gibt es noch bis zum 4. Mai eine Feedbackrunde. Alle, die kommentarlos zurücksetzen können, sind herzlich eingeladen, zu kommentieren, ob der vorgestellte Vorschlag für sie funktioniert oder nicht. Das Team Technische Wünsche freut sich über rege Beteiligung. Hier geht's zur Feedbackrunde.

Tech News: 2018-17

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

• All Wikipedias now have Page Previews.
• The iOS and Android apps now have synced reading lists. This means you can save articles to a private list that can be seen on your other devices if you use the apps.
• The icons in the 2010 wikitext editor have changed. [111]
• The visual editor and the 2017 wikitext ask you to write an edit summary after you press Publish. This button now also shows an ellipsis. This is to show that pressing Publish is not the last step. [112]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 April. It will be on all wikis from 26 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 24 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 25 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• <mapframe> will come to most Wikipedias in May. This means that you can put interactive maps in the articles. Nine Wikipedias that use a strict version of flagged revisions will not get this feature in May. [113]
• The rollback function could change. This was a German community request. All editors with rollback rights can leave feedback on the proposed solution. The last day to leave feedback is 4 May (UTC).

Tech News: 2018-18

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

• The parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [114]

Problems

• We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [115]

Changes later this week

• You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [116]
• When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [117]
• You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the Bearbeiten section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [118]
• There is a new abuse filter function called equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 2 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jharewikimedia.org to leave private feedback.
• All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [119][120][121]

5 Biologische Naturgesetze

Hallo Ptolusque!

Ich möchte nochmals um Kommentare oder Kritik zu meinem neuen Artikel bitten. Wenn es aus deiner Sicht nichts zu kritisieren gibt, würde ich mich über eine entsprechende Bemerkung ebenfalls freuen.

Deine Kritikpunkte zum gelöschten Artikel vom November (fehlende Neutralität, keine Erwähnung von Kritik, ungeeignete Quellen) habe ich im neuen Artikel berücksichtigt, so gut ich konnte. Wenn etwas fehlt, falsch oder unausgewogen ist, bitte schonungslos mitteilen.

Ich hätte gerne mehr Quellen erwähnt, aber die meisten Veröffentlichungen beschäftigen sich nicht mit den 5BN, sondern nur mit der Neuen Medizin, und um die geht es hier nicht bzw. nur am Rande. Die 5BN treffen rein biologische Aussagen, haben also mit Medizin zunächst nichts zu tun. Viele Grüße --SeidNettZueinander (Diskussion) 19:30, 31. Mär. 2018 (CEST)

Nachtrag

Habe den Artikel um weitere Quellen ergänzt. --SeidNettZueinander (Diskussion) 13:47, 2. Apr. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo SeidNettZueinander, ich war die letzte Woche größtenteils nicht erreichbar, siehe Kasten oben. Ich schaue mir den neuen Entwurf morgen an. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 00:59, 9. Apr. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo User:SeidNettZueinander! Ich habe mir deinen neuen Artikelentwurf angeschaut und noch Verlinkungen und typographische Korrekturen sowie Kategorien hinzugefügt. Hinsichtlich der Neutralität ist der das Thema im Artikel und die akademische Rezeption m. E. nach wesentlich ausgewogener als in deinem ersten Entwurf dargestellt. Was neben den ausreichend mit Einzelnachweisen belegten Aussagen noch ergänzt werden könnte, sind allgemeine Verweise auf Werke und ggf. Weblinks zum Artikel in weiteren Abschnitten. Ich möchte dir Vorschlagen, vor dem Verschieben in den ANR – um eine erneute Löschdiskussion möglichst präventiv zu lösen – um weitere Meinungen auf WP:RHCK zu beten. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 12:58, 11. Apr. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Ptolusque! Danke für deine Verbesserungen am Artikel. Ich halte aber die Kategorie für ungeeignet, da es sich nicht um ein therapeutisches Verfahren handelt. Es geht streng genommen um Biologie, aber natürlich gibt es einen starken medizinischen Bezug. Vielleicht könnte man den Artikel unter „medizinische Theorien“ o.ä. einsortieren. Was meinst du mit WP:RHCK? Ich habe mich umgeschaut und in der Richtung nur Wikipedia:Relevanzcheck gefunden. Meintest du das? Außerdem schlägst du allgemeine Verweise auf Werke und Artikel vor. Die würde ich sehr gerne einbauen, kenne aber nur nicht-Wikipedia-konforme wie die aus meinem ersten, gelöschten 5BN-Artikel. Viele Grüße --SeidNettZueinander (Diskussion) 21:59, 15. Apr. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo User:SeidNettZueinander! Entschuldige bitte den Tippfehler bei dem Link, du hast richtigerweise Wikipedia:Relevanzcheck gefunden. Zu der Einordnung in die Kategorien werde ich nochmal genauer schauen, habe aber dato keine für den Artikel sinnvolle Unterkategorie in der Kategorie:Biologie zuordnen können; ich bin der Meinung, dass vielleicht noch die Kategorie:Alternativmedizin am besten passen würde. Falls du keine allgemeinen Medizin-konformen Quellen, dann bleibt der Artikel zunächst bei den Einzelnachweisen, die zumindest die Belegpflicht für die Aussagen im Artikel erfüllen. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 17:41, 16. Apr. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Ptolusque! Ich habe noch einen kurzen Abschnitt eingefügt, um einen Zusammenhang zwischen den 5BN und den SBSen herzustellen. Ich werde den Artikel demnächst auf Wikipedia:Relevanzcheck zur Diskussion stellen. Wenn du den Artikel für relevant hältst, könntest du dann dort ein gutes Wort einlegen? Viele Grüße --SeidNettZueinander (Diskussion) 21:25, 22. Apr. 2018 (CEST)

Relevanzcheck

Hallo Ptolusque! Auf der Relevanzcheckseite kam eine Antwort, die mir aber eher negativ klingt. Wie schätzt du die Aussichten ein, den Artikel im allgemeinen Namensraum unterzubringen? (nicht signierter Beitrag von SeidNettZueinander (Diskussion | Beiträge) 21:09, 2. Mai 2018‎)

Hallo SeidNettZueinander. Ich habe einen Kommentar auf dem Relevanzcheck hinterlassen und werde mich dort ggf. weiter beteiligen. Ich würde den Verlauf der Diskussion in den nächsten Tagen abwarten, momentan ist es noch zu früh, das Ergebnis abzuschätzen. Viel Erfolg! --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 21:35, 2. Mai 2018 (CEST)

Vielen Dank! --SeidNettZueinander (Diskussion) 22:36, 2. Mai 2018 (CEST)

Newsletter der Jungwikipedianer (5. Mai 2018)

Hallo Ptolusque!
Am vergangenen Wochenende fand das Treffen der Jungwikipedianer in Hamburg statt. Die Projektseite findet sich unter Wikipedia:Jungwikipedianer/Treffen 2018.

Es laufen aber auch schon die Planungen für unser nächstes Treffen, den Foto-Workshop in Erfurt, der vom 1. bis zum 3. Juni stattfinden wird. Die Projektseite wurde auf Wikipedia:Jungwikipedianer/Foto-Workshop angelegt. Eingeladen sind alle Interessierten unter 25 Jahren, natürlich ganz besonders Jungwikipedianer! Es wird hauptsächlich um Kulturdenkmale gehen und darum, wie man sie fotografiert; es sind auch externe Experten zu diesem Thema eingeladen, die diese Themen ein bisschen erläutern werden. Außerdem werden wir ein bisschen durch Erfurt ziehen und das Gelernte direkt ausprobieren.

Hast du in letzter Zeit einen hübschen Wikipedia-Artikel geschrieben? Schlage ihn auf Wikipedia:Jungwikipedianer/Artikel des Monats vor, damit er in einem der kommenden Monate auf der Hauptseite der Jungwikipedianer präsentiert werden kann!

Tech News: 2018-19

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

• The Wikimedia Commons mobile app has a new version. It is now easier to find nearby places that need pictures. It helps you with direct uploads and title and category suggestions. The app only works on Android phones. [122]

Problems

• The abuse filters had a problem with blocks where you had changed how long they last. It used the default length everywhere. This was in late April. Abuse filter users should make sure the right block length is used and change them if needed. This is only for filters where how long blocks last had been changed. [123]

Changes later this week

• The advanced search function beta feature will be on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. [124]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 May. It will be on all wikis from 10 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 8 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 9 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 16 May. Other wikis will switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [125][126]

Ping nicht angekommen...

Hallo Ptolusque, dankeschön für Deine Benachrichtigung wegen der Veranstaltung zum Frauenwahlrecht. Dein Ping kam bei mir allerdings nicht an, ich habe das nur gesehen, weil ich die Frankfurter Seite auf der Beo habe. Da es anderen vielleicht auch so ging, schreibe ich Dir hier. Soweit ich weiß, können Pings nur an vier Leute gleichzeitig verschickt werden. Viele Grüße --Maimaid ✉ • Wikiliebe?! 09:50, 11. Mai 2018 (CEST)

@Maimaid: Danke für die Rückmeldung dazu! Die Vorlage:Ping kann mit maximal 5 Benutzer*Innen verwendet werden, bei mehr Zielen würden einfach nur die ersten 5 benachrichtigt und dies auch so angezeigt. Ich habe gerade nochmal in meinen Spezial:Benachrichtigungen nachgeschaut, dort findet sich keine Meldung über das Versenden der Pings. Da ich eine Benachrichtigung über erfolgreich versendete Pings aktiviert habe, wurden sie offensichtlich nicht versendet. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 14:29, 11. Mai 2018 (CEST)

Hat das funktioniert? --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 14:39, 11. Mai 2018 (CEST)

@Mupa280868: Danke, ja das bezieht sich auf Erwähnungen bei Mediawiki im Allgemeinen, die Begrenzung auf 5 gilt lediglich speziell für die einfache Transklusion der Vorlage:Antwort. VG --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 14:47, 11. Mai 2018 (CEST)

Austragung aus dem Mentorenprogramm

Hallo Ptolusque,

ich finde es schade, dass du mich aus dem Mentorenprogramm entlassen hast, zumal ich nach wie vor stark an einem Wikipedia-Artikel interessiert bin. Von daher wünsche ich eine Wiederaufnahme der Betreuung durch dich (oder einen anderen Mentor). Die erfolgte Austragung aus dem Mentorenprogramm aufgrund mangelnder Aktivität meinerseits beruht nach meiner Einschätzung auf einem Missverständnis, das ich kurz erläutere: (1) Nachdem ich am 2. Oktober 2017 den Entwurf eines Artikels zu meiner Person mit der Bitte um Beratung eingereicht hatte, hast du am 3. Oktober 2017 geantwortet: „Ich bin nun dein Mentor und damit persönlicher Ansprechpartner in allen Fragen rund um die Wikipedia.“ (2) Daraufhin reagierte ich auf einen Kommentar von Doc.Heintz, um dessen Vorwurf eines Interessenkonflikts auszuräumen. Am Ende fragte ich: „Wie soll ich nun weiter vorgehen? Es wäre sehr hilfreich, wenn du mir konkrete Verbesserungsvorschläge zu meinem Entwurf machen könntest.“ (3) Da von deiner Seite keine Antwort erfolgte, hakte ich noch einmal nach: „Hallo Ptolusque, ich habe gesehen, dass diese Seite am 9. Oktober 2017 und zuletzt am 21. November bearbeitet wurde. Da du jedoch keine konkreten Verbesserungsvorschläge formuliert hast: Kann der Artikel also so bleiben (vgl. dazu auch meinen Einwurf vom 3. Oktober bzgl. Personenartikel)? Was fehlt nun noch für die Veröffentlichung?“ (4) Die in (2) und (3) formulierten Fragen sind nach meinem Kenntnisstand bis heute nicht beantwortet worden. Da ich dich nicht durch ständiges Nachfragen belästigen wollte, habe ich einfach auf deine Antwort gewartet. (5) Am 7. Mai 2018 ist dann die Austragung aus dem Mentorenprogramm erfolgt: „Da du momentan keine Aktivität mehr aufweist und dich bei deinem Betreuer seit fünf Monaten nicht mehr gemeldet hast, habe ich dich aus dem Mentorenprogramm entlassen“.

Ich wünsche ausdrücklich die Wiederaufnahme der Betreuung, sei es durch dich oder einen anderen Mentor. Möglicherweise sind mir im Rahmen der Betreuung durch den Mentor Fehler unterlaufen, die mir im Augenblick aber unbekannt sind. Am effektivsten wäre es, wenn du die in (2) und (3) formulierten Fragen beantworten könntest. Die notwendigen Korrekturen am Text würde ich dann zügig ausführen, und der Personenartikel könnte in Kürze veröffentlicht werden.

Beste Grüße Peter Tepe

SIGNATUR(nicht signierter Beitrag von Peter Tepe (Diskussion | Beiträge) 18. Mai 2018, 11:33 Uhr CEST)

Diskussionsbeiträge sollten immer mit Klick auf diese Schaltfläche unterschrieben werden – Beiträge zu Artikeln hingegen nicht.

Hallo Peter Tepe, danke für deine Nachricht. Die Austragung aus dem Mentorenprogramm erfolgte automatisch. Ich hatte deine weitere Anfrage auf deiner Benutzerdiskussionsseite übersehen, dies tut mit leid. Ich habe die automatische Austragung revertiert. Zu deinem Artikelentwurf: Ich habe jenen zunächst der Form halber überarbeitet. Z. B. wird das Inhaltsverzeichnis automatisch erzeugt, innerhalb eines Lemmata sollen schlechterdings nur im Abschnitt Weblinks externe Verweise direkt verwendete werden, die korrekte Form ist die Angabe von Belegen mittels der Verwendung von Einzelnachweisen, das habe ich Beispielhaft im Abschnitt Leben entsprechend umgesetzt. Dies gilt auch für die internen Wikilinks. Zunächst einmal habe ich die Gliederung formatiert und Verweise auf bibliographische Datenbankeinträge, Personendaten und Kategorien ergänzt. Diese sind, da der Artikel im Entwurfsstadium ist, nur als Quelltext sichtbar .Eine bessere Übersicht hierzu findet sich in einem zugehörigen Wikidata-Item, welches ich angelegt habe: Peter Tepe (Q53998174). Ich würde dir empfehlen, dass du dich vor weiteren Bearbeitungen mit Wikipedia:Artikel über lebende Personen vertraut machst und ggf. auch im Allgemeinen Hinweise im Tutorial unter Wikipedia:Tutorial/3 und Wikipedia:Tutorial/4 zum besseren Verständnis ansiehst. Bei einem Text, bei welchem Subjekt und Objekt des Schreibens identisch sind, ist ein Interessenkonflikt gegeben, der einer besonderen Beachtung des neutralen Standpunkts als einer der Grundprinzipien dieser Enzyklopädie bedarf. Bei dem Abschnitt Leben besteht noch hinreichendes Erweiterungspotential. Es sollten in jedem Fall ganze Sätze verwendet werden. Die Werkauswahl erscheint im Verhältnis zum restlichen Artikelinhalt sehr umfangreich, ich verweise in diesem Zusammenhang auf Wikipedia:Literatur#Allgemeines. Ich hoffe das gibt dir, wenn auch verspätet, Ansatzpunkte für eine weitere Überarbeitung. Weitere Fragen beantworte ich gerne – aus Gründen der Transparenz bevorzugt hier – oder falls gewünscht, auch via Spezial:E-Mail senden/Ptolusque. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 16:45, 23. Mai 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Ptolusque,
vielen Dank für deine rasche Rückmeldung! Deine erste Überarbeitung und die weiteren Verbesserungshinweise sind überaus hilfreich. Auch dafür vielen Dank. Ich werde mich in nächster Zeit mit den angegebenen Hilfestellungen beschäftigen und mich bemühen, diese umzusetzen. Das kann aufgrund anderer Verpflichtungen allerdings ein wenig dauern. Viele Grüße Peter Tepe

Tech News: 2018-22

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 use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [129][130]
• It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [131]
• Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words.
• There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [132]
• Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [133]
• There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [134]

Problems

• Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [135]

Changes later this week

• There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [136]
• A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [137]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 May. It will be on all wikis from 31 May (calendar).
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [138]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 29 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 30 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Content Translation drafts which have not been updated in over a year will be removed. This allows other users to translate those articles. [139]
• A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [140]
• Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. [141][142]

Tech News: 2018-23

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

• The MonoBook skin has been optimised for mobile devices. It now looks different. [143]
• Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [144][145]
• Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [146]

Problems

• You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them.
• MassMessage did not work 24–28 May. This is also why last week's Tech News was late. [147]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 June. It will be on all wikis from 7 June (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 5 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 6 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This is planned to happen in June or early July. [148][149]

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

• In the Wikipedia app for Android or iOS users can create reading lists. The reading lists can be seen on different devices if you are logged in to your account. There is now a browser extension so you can add pages to your reading list from a web browser. At the moment it works with Firefox and Chrome. [150]
• There is a new version of Pywikibot. Pywikibot is a tool to automate tasks on MediaWiki wikis. [151]

Problems

• The MonoBook skin was changed to make it work better for mobile users. This caused some problems. The change was rolled back to fix them. The new version is now back on the wikis. MonoBook users can opt out from the new responsive design. [152]

Changes later this week

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. For most wikis this will happen on 18 June. For the rest it will happen on 25 June. [153][154]

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 June. It will be on all wikis from 14 June (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the Readers Web team IRC office hour. There you can discuss tools to contribute on the mobile web for the existing MediaWiki skins. The meeting will be on 18 June at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Technische Wünsche: Wikitext-Syntaxhervorhebung ist jetzt Standardfunktion

WP:Technische Wünsche/Newsletter

Du erhältst diese Nachricht, weil du dich für den Newsletter Technische Wünsche eingetragen hast. Danke dafür!

Hallo. In der Umfrage Technische Wünsche 2013 wurde eine „Syntaxhervorhebung fürs Editieren eines Artikels im Quelltext” gewünscht. Seit August 2017 gibt es die „Wikitext-Syntaxhervorhebung“ als Beta-Funktion, seit heute ist die Funktion standardmäßig auf der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia und in vielen anderen Wikis aktiviert.

Die Funktion ergänzt beim derzeitigen Quelltext-Editor und beim neuen Wikitext-Editor (Beta) in der Werkzeugleiste einen Button , mit dem sich die Syntaxhervorhebung an- und ausschalten lässt. Mehr Infos gibt es auf der Seite des Wunsches.

Die Funktion wurde vom ehrenamtlichen Entwickler Pastakhov mit Unterstützung der Wikimedia Foundation umgesetzt. Rückmeldungen, Ideen oder Fragen können auf der Diskussionsseite der Mediawiki-Erweiterung gestellt werden.

Beste Grüße, Michael Schönitzer (WMDE) (Diskussion) 15:22, 14. Jun. 2018 (CEST)

Neues zugefügt

Hallo Ptolusque/Archiv/2018,

seit rund 10 Tagen warte ich auf die Veröffentlichung der neu zugefügten Aktivitäten der Jungwölfe und des dazugehörigen Belegs. Muss ich das noch bearbeiten, damit es veröffentlicht wird? Bitte um Auskunft und Hilfe :-) --Konstanze Hofinger (Diskussion) 08:59, 15. Jun. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Konstanze Hofinger, ich habe die Änderungen gesichtet, sie sind somit „veröffentlicht“. VG --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 12:44, 15. Jun. 2018 (CEST)

Ausrufer – 25. Woche

Meinungsbilder: Umfragen
Wettbewerbe: Wahl zum Bild des Jahres 2017
Kurier – linke Spalte: Lebt denn die alte Sperrprüfung noch?, Wiki Loves Yerevan, Erleuchtung am Hofe Buddhas

Tech News: 2018-25

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

• Syntax highlighting has been a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It is now a normal feature. It is based on CodeMirror. [155]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 19 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Some old web browsers will not be able to read the Wikimedia wikis. This is because they use an insecure way to connect to them. This means that we get less security for everyone else too. This affects about 0.08% of all traffic to the Wikimedia wikis. This affects for example those who read Wikipedia on a PlayStation 3. [156][157]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. Because there is no new MediaWiki version this week it will happen on 25 June for most wikis. For the rest it will happen in early July. [158][159]
• All wikis that have not already done so will switch to use the Remex parsing library on 5 July. This is to replace Tidy. You can help fix remaining errors. [160]

Insgesamt haben 44 Vorjurorinnen und Vorjuroren mehr als 137.000 Bewertungen innerhalb der letzten 8 Wochen abgegeben. Damit wurde jedes zur Bewertung stehende Bild mindestens zehnmal bewertet. Die Hauptjury wird sich die besten Fotos nun nochmals anschauen und am kommenden Wochenende auf ihrer Sitzung die besten Bilder des deutschen Wettbewerbs küren. Eine Bekanntgabe dieser wird voraussichtlich bis Ende Juli geschehen.

Dir nochmals herzlichen Dank für deinen Einsatz! Ohne Deinen Einsatz bei der Bewertung der Bilder, wäre dieser Wettbewerb, der Wikimedia Commons dieses Jahr wieder mehr als 24.000 Bilder allein aus Deutschland im Bereich Natur(schutz) beschert und das freie Medienarchiv bekannt gemacht hat, nicht möglich.

Viele Grüße, Sandro (WMDE) (Disk.) 17:12, 5. Jul. 2018 (CEST)

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Summer 2018

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Since our last newsletter, the Structured Data team has moved into designing and building prototypes for various features. The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• A workshop on what Wikidata properties Commons will need. This workshop will be open for the entire month of July 2018 at minimum.

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.

• The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
• In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
• A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
• There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.

Wikimania 2018

• Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
  • Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
  • Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
  • Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
• Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!
• Structured Data on Commons was presented to GLAM audiences during EuropeanaTech 2018 in Rotterdam (15 May 2018) and at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek Forum in Berlin (4 June 2018).

Research

Two research projects about Wikimedia Commons are currently ongoing, or in the process of being finished:

1. Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

Development

• Prototypes will be available for Depicts soon.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Join the next IRC office hour and ask questions to the team! The date for next quarter will be announced soon.

Structured Data Newsletter - Research link fix

Greetings,

The newsletter omitted two interwiki prefixes, breaking the links on non-meta wikis as you might see above. Here are the correct links:

1. m:Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. m:Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

My apologies, I hope you find the corrected links helpful.

Tech News: 2018-28

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

• WebM video files have smaller file size but still be of the same quality. Creating WebM files will take longer time. [166]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This was supposed to already have happened but was delayed. For most wikis this will happen on 9 July. For the rest it will happen on 16 July. [167]
• All wikis now use the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy. This could cause errors. You can help fix the errors. [168]

Problems

• When you rolled back an edit it could get both the Rollback and Undo tags. This has been fixed. [169]
• Rollbacks from autopatrolled users were not marked as patrolled. This has been fixed. [170]

Changes later this week

• When you edit a link in the visual editor there will be two separate buttons to change which page the link goes to (target) or its text (label). [171][172]
• On the mobile version you can find a link to an editor's contributions from their user page. Now this will work even if they haven't created a user page. [173]
• When you edit a discussion on the mobile version you sometimes get your signature automatically added. This will now not happen if you have already added a signature manually. This is to avoid double signatures. [174]
• Structured discussions toolbars will have more style options. [175]
• When you look at Wikimedia code in Gerrit there will be a new interface. It is on by default for new users. This is also true for developers. This is to make it easier to understand what is happening. [176]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 July. It will be on all wikis from 12 July (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 July at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 July at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Today all administrators can edit CSS and JavaScript for the entire wiki. There will be a new user group for editing CSS and JavaScript. Administrators will no longer automatically be able to do this. This is because it is a security risk when all administrator accounts can edit JavaScript even if they never plan to or do not know how it works. You can read more. [177]
• Page previews will be on by default for new accounts. [178]

Technische Wünsche: Globale Einstellungen sind verfügbar

WP:Technische Wünsche/Newsletter

Du erhältst diese Nachricht, weil du dich für den Newsletter Technische Wünsche eingetragen hast. Danke dafür!

In der Umfrage Technische Wünsche 2015, sowie in der entsprechenden internationalen Umfrage im Jahr 2016 wurde gewünscht, manche Benutzereinstellungen nicht mehr lokal für jedes Wiki setzen zu müssen sondern sie global für alle Wikis unter dem Dach der Wikimedia Foundation auf einmal ändern zu können. Diese Funktion wurde nun vom Community Tech-Team der WMF umgesetzt und kann seit gestern Abend genutzt werden. Eine Anleitung zur Nutzung findest du auf der Wunschseite, weitere Informationen gibt es auf der Projektseite. Feedback kann auf der Diskussionsseite des Wunsches gegeben werden.

Beste Grüße, Michael Schönitzer (WMDE) (Diskussion) 15:23, 14. Jun. 2018 (CEST)20:00, 10. Jul. 2018 (CEST)

Du wurdest im Mentorenprogramm auf Pause gesetzt

Da du länger als 7 Tage keine Bearbeitungen getätigt hast, wurdest du automatisch im Mentorenprogramm auf Pause gesetzt. Wenn du wieder aktiv bist, werde ich in der darauffolgenden Nacht die Pause wieder beenden. – GiftBot (Diskussion) 02:01, 11. Jul. 2018 (CEST)

Technische Wünsche: Dateien technisch sauber nach Wikimedia Commons verschieben mit der Beta-Funktion Dateiexporteur

Hallo, du hast dich auf dem Newsletter Technische Wünsche eingetragen. Jetzt gibt es Neuigkeiten zum Wunsch „Technisch sauberes Verschieben von Dateien nach Commons“:

Bislang konnten Dateien, die lokal in einem Wiki hochgeladen wurden, nur mit Einschränkungen nach Wikimedia Commons verschoben werden. So wurde beispielsweise die Versionsgeschichte der Datei nicht mit nach Commons übernommen. Nun steht hier in der Wikipedia und auf anderen ersten Wikis eine Beta-Funktion bereit, mit der man lokale Dateien genauso wie sie sind, also mit all ihren Versionen und Metadaten, unkompliziert nach Wikimedia Commons exportieren kann, sofern ihre Lizenzen dies zulassen. Die Funktionsweise ist hier ausführlicher beschrieben.

Um die Funktion zu nutzen, muss in den eigenen Einstellungen unter Beta der „Dateiexporteur“ aktiviert werden. Das Team Technische Wünsche lädt herzlich zum Ausprobieren ein und bittet um Feedback auf der Diskussionsseite des Wunsches. -- Viele Grüße, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (Diskussion) 13:26, 12. Jul. 2018 (CEST)

Benutzer:Shi Annan/Judicaël Perroy

Hallo Ptolusque, ich habe für "Drei Wünsche frei" den Artikel übersetzt. Jetzt geht es ans Aufräumen. Wahrscheinlich kann man noch einiges kürzen und verbessern. Kannst Du Dir das mal anschauen und gegebenenfalls auch ändern, was Dir nicht gefällt, oder Anregungen einbringen? herzlich grüßt --Shi Annan (Diskussion) 14:28, 4. Jul. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Shi Annan, herzlichen Dank für die Übersetzung! Ich habe noch ein paar Kleinigkeiten korrigiert und finde, dass der Artikel verschoben werden kann. LG --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 13:13, 13. Jul. 2018 (CEST)

Neue Baustelle und mehr

Hallo Ptolusque! Schaust Du bitte meinen neuen Entwurf durch? Alles Weitere in meiner Mail an Dich vom 17.03.2018.--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 12:44, 19. Mär. 2018 (CET)Mailaender45

Hallo Mailaender45,

ich habe deine letzten Beiträge in den Artikeln nach ggf. kleinen Anpassungen gesichtet. Dein Entwurf ist m. E. nach soweit auch Bereit zur Verschiebung in den Artikelnamensraum, ich habe noch passende Wikilinks und Kategorien hinzugefügt. Glückwunsch zu deinem dritten Artikel! Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 17:32, 19. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Hallo Ptolusque! Danke! Habe eben verschoben. Korrekt?--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 20:15, 19. Mär. 2018 (CET)Mailaender45

Nachtrag: Mein kürzlich erstellter Beitrag taucht unter Neue Artikel (Tool unten bei Benutzerbeiträge) nicht auf. Warum?--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 20:40, 19. Mär. 2018 (CET)Mailaender45

Hallo Mailaender45, auf Neue Artikel wurde dein Artikel Herbstliche Musiktage Bad Urach nicht angezeigt, weil nach der Erstellung des Artikels Orest Alexandrowitsch Jewlachow auf deiner Spielwiese diese nicht gelöscht wurde und du dann den Musiktage-Artikel erstellt hast. Das war der Grund für die Jewlachow-Versionen im Artikel Herbstliche Musiktage Bad Urach, worauf du aufmerksam wurdest. Mein Vereinigen mit der Version auf der Spielwiese, um die nicht passende Jewlachow-Versionen (Weiterleitung und Leeren der Seite) aus dem Artikel Bad Urach zu entfernen, hat dazu geführt, dass der Artikel nicht mehr als neue Seite dir zugeordnet wurde. Ich habe die Jewlachow-Versionen wieder in Bad Urach vereinigt, sodass nun zwar diese beiden Versionen wieder in der Versionsgeschichte angezeigt werden, der Artikel aber auch wieder dir zugeordnet wird: Neue Artikel. Damit das nicht nochmal passiert, ist es wichtig nach dem Verschieben der Seite von der Benutzer-Unterseite dieses über die Vorlage:SLA mit der Begründung Verschieberest sofortigen Löschen zu nominieren. Die Seite muss davor nicht geleert werden (Weiterleitung entfernen nicht notwendig). Ich habe die Werkstatt-Seite jetzt schon mal gelöscht. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 22:24, 19. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Vielen Dank für die Klärung!--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 17:21, 20. Mär. 2018 (CET)Mailaender45

Hallo Ptolusque! Kannst du bitte meinen neuen Entwurf und drei Bearbeitungen prüfen?--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 22:01, 21. Mär. 2018 (CET)Mailaender45

Hallo Mailaender45, ich habe deinen Entwurf etwas überarbeitet, u. A. Vorlage:Internetquelle zur einheitlichen Darstellung der externen Links jeweils mit Abrufdatum, passende Unterkategorie Kategorie:Musik (Baden-Baden) und Auflösung der WP:BKL auf Robert Wilson durch den korrekten Link auf Robert Wilson (Regisseur). Falls du es noch nicht aktiviert hast, kannst du z. B. in Spezial:Einstellungen#mw-prefsection-gadgets den Begriffsklärungs-Check aktivieren. Dieser hinterlegt Wikilinks auf Begriffserklärungsseiten rot, sodass das finden und setzten von Links auf das korrekte Lemma einfacher wird. Dies Sichtungen habe ich erledigt. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 16:04, 22. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Hallo Ptolusque! Danke für die Überarbeitung und Prüfung! Ich habe jetzt den Entwurf so verschoben, wie du es oben beschrieben hast, und auf der verbliebenen Werkstatt-Seite einen SLA gestellt – ohne die Weiterleitung zu entfernen. Kannst du bitte schauen, ob das so okay gelaufen ist, und den verschobenen Entwurf sichten?--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 19:59, 22. Mär. 2018 (CET)Mailaender45

@Mailaender45: Alles einwandfrei. Ist erledigt. Gute Nacht --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 21:56, 22. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Hallo Ptolusque! Danke! Habe wieder einen neuen Entwurf erstellt. Kannst du, wenn's geht, bitte mal prüfen – zwei Bearbeitungen stehen auch schon länger offen. Viele Grüße!--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 22:22, 28. Mär. 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

@Mailaender45: Ich habe deinem Artikelentwurf noch kleine Änderungen vorgenommen. M. E. nach soweit fertig für die Verschiebung in den ANR. Deine anderen Beiträge wurden bereits gesichtet. Am 23. März hast du automatisch passive Sichterrechte erhalten (siehe Spezial:Logbuch/Mailaender45), sodass deine Änderungen nicht mehr gesichtet werden müssen, falls die vorherige Version bereits gesichtet wurde. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 14:34, 29. Mär. 2018 (CEST)

Danke für die Überarbeitung des Entwurfs! Die erwähnten beiden älteren Bearbeitungen – Popow und Chrennikow – sind bei mir aber noch immer rot aufgeführt. Was tun? Viele Grüße--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 14:55, 29. Mär. 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

Die hatte ich wohl übersehen. Die Änderungen stammen kurz vor der Zuteilung der passiven Sichterrechte. Ist gesichtet. VG --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 15:08, 29. Mär. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Ptolusque! Habe wieder einen neuen Entwurf erstellt. Kannst du bitte kritisch drübergehen? VG--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 20:34, 7. Apr. 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

Hallo Mailaender45! Ich schaue mir den Entwurf morgen an. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 01:00, 9. Apr. 2018 (CEST)

@Mailaender45: Ich bin der Ansicht, dass der Artikel Fertig für eine Verschiebung ist. Wenn du den Artikel Verschieben möchtest, dann nutze bitte Eclat (Musikfestival) als Ziel, da Eclat nun eine WP:Begriffsklärungsseite (BKL) ist; zuvor war Eclat eine WP:Weiterleitung auf das deutsche Lehnwort Eklat, es existieren jedoch mehrere Lemmata, die für Eclat/ (Éclat) bzw. Eklat stehen, daher habe ich die BKL erstellt. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 12:59, 9. Apr. 2018 (CEST)

Danke für Prüfung und BKL! Ist auf Eclat (Musikfestival) verschoben. VG--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 13:35, 9. Apr. 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

Hallo Ptolusque! Kannst du bitte meinen neuen Entwurf kritisch durchsehen? VG--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 22:07, 17. Apr. 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

Danke fürs Reinschauen. Was meinst du – kann ich verschieben?--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 19:05, 18. Apr. 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

(nach BK) Guten Abend Mailaender45! Der Artikel ist meines Erachtens nach verschiebungsreif. Nach dem Verschieben kannst du den Artikel auch noch in Wikidata unter Svend Erik Tarp (Q23303956) einfügen. Dorst siehst du, dass es auch bereits einen schwedischsprachigen Artikel gibt. VG --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 19:09, 18. Apr. 2018 (CEST)

Was meinst du mit Bearbeitungskonflikt? VG --Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 19:46, 18. Apr. 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

Hallo Mailaender45! Das „BK“ bezog sich nur auf meinen Beitrag hier auf der Diskussionsseite. Wenn zwei oder mehr Bearbeiter eine Seite oder einen Abschnitt gleichzeitig bearbeiten, kommt es zu einem Bearbeitungskonflikt, weil die MediaWiki Software, auf welcher Wikipedia läuft, eine lineare Versionsgeschichte vorsieht. Ich hatte meine Antwort kurz vor deinem Abspeichern deiner Nachricht hier begonnen, aber erst danach versucht zu speichern. Das erzeugt den Bearbeitungskonflikt (BK), der üblicherweise mit „(nach BK)“ gekennzeichnet wird, damit Mitlesende wissen, das der Beitrag vor dem erscheinen des vorherigen Beitrages verfasst wurde. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 15:28, 24. Apr. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Ptolusque! War viel mit Bearbeitungen beschäftigt. Jetzt habe ich wieder einen neuen Artikelentwurf verfasst. Kannst du bitte mal reinschauen und prüfen?--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 22:25, 9. Mai 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

Guten Abend Mailaender45. Ich habe deinen Artikel ein wenig überarbeitet (Verlinkungen, Typographie, Kategorien); er ist meines Erachtens nach bereit für die Verschiebung. Gratulation zu deinem 8. Artikel! Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 22:50, 9. Mai 2018 (CEST)

Danke fürs Überarbeiten! Seite ist erfolgreich verschoben! Es gibt zu Ultraschall eine BKS. Da stand das Festival Ultraschall Berlin wohl auch drin, wurde dann aber laut Versionsgeschichte kürzlich wieder herausgelöscht. Was meinst du, gehört Ultraschall Berlin wieder auf diese BKS?--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 13:16, 10. Mai 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

@Mailaender45: Ich habe das Festival wieder auf der BKS eingetragen, es wurde 2015 wegen Unklarheiten zur Relevanz gelöscht. Einen schönen Feiertag wünscht --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 14:01, 10. Mai 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Ptolusque! Habe bei der Bearbeitung dieser Seite übersehen, dass vor mir noch eine ungesichtete Änderung hätte geklärt werden müssen. Jetzt gelten auch meine Bearbeitung und mein anschließend vergeblicher Versuch, diese vorherige ungesichtete, offenbar unsinnige Änderung rückgängig zu machen, ebenfalls als „ungesichtet“. Kannst du da helfen?--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 15:52, 20. Mai 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

Nachtrag: Hat sich vmtl. erledigt. War mir nicht klar, dass ich mittlerweile das selbst sichten kann. Sorry!--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 16:03, 20. Mai 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

@Mailaender45: Ja genau, wie oben geschrieben hast du am 23. März automatisch passive Sichterrechte erhalten und kürzlich am 14. Mai auch aktive Sichterrechte (beides siehe Spezial:Logbuch/Mailaender45). Du kannst also nun auch die Beiträge anderer Benutzer Sichten und somit für alle Leser der Wikipedia direkt sichtbar machen. Viele Grüße --16:52, 23. Mai 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Ptolusque! Das habe ich auch deiner schnellen und unbürokratischen Mentoren-Hilfe zu verdanken! Kannst du bitte meinen neuen Entwurf prüfen? Langfristig würde ich auch gerne im englischen Wiki mitarbeiten. Wie lässt sich das machen? Viele Grüße--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 22:17, 31. Mai 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

Guten Abend Mailaender45! Ich habe noch eine Kleinigkeit, den Namen des Asteroiden entsprechend der Namenskonvention angepasst, ansonsten war soweit alles einwandfrei. Der Artikel ist nun unter German Grigorjewitsch Okunew. Bzgl. englische Wikipedia melde ich mich gleich nochmal. VG --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..}

Hallo Ptolusque! Danke für die Prüfung und Verschiebung! Kannst du auch meinen neuesten Entwurf bitte durchgehen? Und könntest du mir noch wegen en.wiki antworten, gerne auch per Mail? VG--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 22:36, 22. Jun. 2018 (CEST)Mailaender45

Guten Tag Mailaender45! Ich habe den Arikel nach Linkergänzungen verschoben: Natalja Michailowna Prawossudowitsch und einen Eintrag in Wikidata erstellt: Natalja Michailowna Prawossudowitsch (Q55214796). Zur Mitarbeit in en: Ich würde dich dort gerne unterstützen, habe dafür aber momentan keine Kapazitäten.

Nachdem es bereits lange lokale und regionale Stammtische in Darmstadt, im Elsass-Express auf der Fahrt von Mainz nach Wissembourg, in Frankfurt am Main, in Mainz und in dem übrigen Rheinhessen, in Mittelhessen, bei der Tour-de-Vin und in Unterfranken sowie in Wiesbaden gibt, hatten verschiedene Personen die Idee einen zentralen Wikipedia-Stammtisch im Rhein-Main-Gebiet zu initiieren. Deshalb findet am 15. September 2018 (Samstag) ab 15:00 Uhr unser erstes Treffen in Rüsselsheim am Main im Rahmen eines rhein-mainischen Stammtischs statt. Wir treffen uns zunächst ab 15:00 Uhr zum Besuch des Stadt- und Industriemuseums Rüsselsheim.

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

• Some abuse filter variables have changed. They are now easier to understand for non-experts. The old variables will still work but filter editors are encouraged to replace them with the new ones. You can find the list of changed variables on mediawiki.org. They have a note which says Deprecated. Use ... instead. An example is article_text which is now page_title. [202]
• Abuse filters can now use how old a page is. The variable is page_age. [203]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 August. It will be on all wikis from 30 August (calendar).

Meetings

Neue Baustellen

Hallo Ptolusque, nach einer kleinen Pause bin ich wieder da. Kannst Du bitte meinen neuen Entwurf prüfen? Nach Deiner Draufsicht würde ich den Entwurf gern selbst verschieben, sonst verlerne ich das noch... ;-) Und noch etwas: Ich habe außerdem noch eine Liste entworfen, die als roter Link hier schon existiert. Wie kann ich meinen Listenentwurf dorthin verschieben? Viele Grüße--Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 14:08, 28. Aug. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Mailaender45! Ich habe in deinem Entwurf noch ein paar Links angepasst, meiner Ansicht nach ist er nun fertig zum Verschieben. Deine Liste unter Benutzer:Mailaender45/Werkstatt kannst du auf das Linkziel Liste bulgarischer Komponisten klassischer Musik aus der Liste der Listen von Komponisten nach Ländern geordnet verschieben, dann wird der Link dort auch blau. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 19:07, 29. Aug. 2018 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-37

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

• When you added or edited a template with the visual editor the input boxes were very big. This has been fixed. The input boxes will now be smaller until you click on them. Then they will change size to fit the text. [214]

Problems

• Some diffs showed lines in the wrong order. This was fixed last week. [215]
• Marking a cross-wiki notification as read didn't work every time. The other wiki was not updated. This has now been fixed. [216]
• <maplink> did not work for a few days. This was because of a bug. This has now been fixed. [217]
• {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} is used by some templates. For a period edits saved with {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} would save the previous user's name and not your username. This is now fixed. Edits made before the bug was fixed will still be wrong and need to be corrected. [218]
• When you move a page the title still shows the old page name. The developers are working on fixing this. [219]

Changes later this week

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour. You can read more about this.
• Because of the data centre test there will be no new version of MediaWiki this week. Changes for this week will come next week instead.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 Septmber at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The developers work on making the wikis work better on mobile phones. There is a list of common problems when making content easier to read in the mobile view. You can add things to the page and ask others to help.

Hallo Ptolusque!
Wie du vielleicht gemerkt hast, scheinen die Aktivitäten bei uns in der letzten Zeit ein wenig eingeschlafen zu sein. Das sollten wir ändern. Hast du in der letzten Zeit einen schönen Artikel geschrieben? Schlage ihn doch bei Wikipedia:Jungwikipedianer/Artikel des Monats vor, sodass er vielleicht in der nächsten Zeit auf unserer Hauptseite präsentiert werden kann. Oder nominiere eines deiner Bilder beim Bilderwettbewerb. Wenn du Lust hast, kannst du auch Stimmen für die zur Zeit nominierten Artikel und Bilder abgeben.

Bis demnächst und vergiss nicht, im Chat der JWP vorbeizuschauen!

Hallo Ptolusque!

• JWP-intern läuft zur Zeit die Abstimmung für den Artikel des Monats. Schau doch mal vorbei und gib deine Stimme für einen der dort nominierten Artikel ab. Wenn du möchtest, kannst du dort auch einen der von dir erstellten oder stark überarbeiteten Artikel zur Wahl stellen und für ein wenig Konkurenz sorgen.
• Außerdem fand seit fast einem halben Jahr kein Bilderwettbewerb mehr statt. Hast du in letzter Zeit ein schönes Foto geschossen? Fühle dich frei, es dort zu präsentieren. Vielleicht erscheint es dann bald auf unserer Hauptseite.

Verschiebeschutz Exilregierung Deutsches Reich entfernt

Hallo Ptolusque,
den von dir eingesetzten infiniten Verschiebeschutz im Artikel Exilregierung Deutsches Reich habe ich nach Entsperrwunsch entfernt. Ich vermute, dass Du ih nur versehentlich so eingesetzt hattest. Wenn man zuerst die Schutzstufe und dann die separate Sperroption wählt und erst am Schluss die Sperrdauer eingibt, führt das dazu dazu, dass beim Verschiebeschutz "unbeschränkt" steht, da das der Standardwert ist, wenn mna als Admin keinen auswählt. -- Perrak (Disk) 12:25, 8. Okt. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Perrak, vielen dank! Deine Annahme ist korrekt, ich werde das beim nächsten Mal beachten. Danke auch für die Antwort auf die Frage meines Mentees unten. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 01:29, 9. Okt. 2018 (CEST)

Wieder neue Baustellen

Hallo Ptolusque, habe wieder zwei neue Baustellen. Kannst du bitte Entwurf 1 und Entwurf 2 durchschauen und prüfen? Viele Grüße --Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 18:03, 8. Okt. 2018 (CEST)

Ptolusque scheint in Urlaub zu sein, die letzte Bearbeitung ist zwei Wochen her.

Wenn es Dir hilft: Ich finde die Artikel sehr gelungen, klasse! Kannst sie unbesorgt in den ANR verschieben, denke ich. -- Perrak (Disk) 18:53, 8. Okt. 2018 (CEST)

Prima, danke für die Einschätzung! --Mailaender45 (Diskussion) 20:44, 8. Okt. 2018 (CEST)

Hallo Mailaender45, Glückwunsch zu den beiden neuen Artikeln! Anknüpfend an das, was Perrak schon angemerkt hat, finde ich, dass du nun deine Artikel in den ANR verschieben kannst, ohne vorher nochmal zu fragen. Die wenigen kleinen typographischen Korrekturen und Link-Ergänzungen etc. werden ggf. auch dann von anderen vorgenommen. Bei jeglichen Fragen stehe ich dir natürlich zur Verfügung, auch wenn meine Antwort mal etwas länger dauern kann. Viele Grüße --Πτολυσϙυε ^{.-- .. -.- ..} 01:48, 9. Okt. 2018 (CEST)

Probleme

• Some pages, edits and users disappeared for a short while after the server switch. Missing content and users was fixed within a day. Some preferences and other things might take a few more days to fix. [231]
• Die Wikis werden wieder mit neuen und aktualisierten Übersetzungen von translatewiki.net versorgt. Das geschieht ein mal pro Woche. Die Entwickler arbeiten daran, die Probleme zu beseitigen, so dass die Übersetzungen wieder häufiger aktualisiert werden können. [232]

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

• When you create an abuse filter that prevents edits you can now write a specific error message for it. Before this all abuse filters that prevented edits had the same error message. [233]

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 17 Oktober at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Internationale Wunschliste startet

Du erhältst diese Nachricht, weil du dich für den Newsletter Technische Wünsche eingetragen hast. Danke dafür!

Im Oktober geht die jährliche Umfrage zur Internationalen Wunschliste in die dritte Runde. Ab heute können Projektmitarbeitende aus allen Wikiprojekten Vorschläge einreichen, welche Softwarefunktionen verbessert oder neu entwickelt werden sollen. Dies schließt neben der Software Mediawiki, welche die Wikiprojekte betreibt auch Tools und Gadgets mitein. Die Umfrage wird vom Team Community Tech der Wikimedia Foundation durchgeführt und findet auf Meta statt: 2018 Community Wishlist Survey

Das Projekt basiert auf dem Konzept der deutschsprachigen technischen Wunschliste. Da es voraussichtlich keine neue Umfragen in der deutschen Wikipedia geben wird, empfehlen wir deine Wünsche dort einzureichen. Einreichungen sind nicht nur auf Englisch, sondern auch auf Deutsch möglich – wie auch in den vergangen Umfragen sollen Wünsche gemeinschaftlich ins Englische übersetzt werden, so dass mehr Abstimmende sie in der Abstimmungsphase lesen können. -- Michael Schönitzer (WMDE) (Diskussion) 20:02, 29.

Technische Wünsche: Überarbeitete Beta-Funktion für Bearbeitungskonflikte ist jetzt verfügbar

Du erhältst diese Nachricht, weil du dich für den Newsletter Technische Wünsche eingetragen hast, um über umgesetzte Wünsche informiert zu werden. Danke dafür! In dieser Meldung geht es um einen fast umgesetzten Wunsch:

Das Team Technische Wünsche hat am 8.11. eine neue Beta-Funktion veröffentlicht, mit der es noch leichter werden soll, Bearbeitungskonflikte zu lösen, beispielsweise durch ein schnelleres Erkennen konfligierender Textpassagen. Die Funktion löst die bisherige Beta-Funktion vom Februar 2017 ab. Du kannst die Funktion unter Einstellungen > Beta > Zwei-Spalten-Bearbeitungskonflikt aktivieren. Falls du die vorherige Beta-Funktion schon aktiviert hast, wird dir jetzt bei Bearbeitungskonflikten automatisch die neue Oberfläche angezeigt.

In ein paar Monaten soll aus dieser Beta-Funktion die neue Standardoberfläche für Bearbeitungskonflikte werden. Darum freut sich das Entwicklerteam über deine Einschätzung zur neuen Oberfläche auf der Diskussionsseite des Wunsches. -- Viele Grüße, Michael Schönitzer (WMDE) (Diskussion) 22:40, 8.

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

Letzte Änderungen

• Some old mobile browsers can use the watchlist again. This has not worked for a while. These browsers are called grade C browsers. This helps for example Windows Phone 8.1 with Internet Explorer and Lumia 535 with Windows 10. [241]

Probleme

• You can choose to see edit conflicts in a two-column view. This is a beta feature. You can find it in your preferences. Users who use this view saw the edit conflict resolution page when they wanted to see a preview. This has been fixed. [242][243][244]

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 November. It will be on all wikis from 15 November (calendar).

Treffen

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 14 November at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Zukünftige Änderungen

• You can use the content translation tool to translate articles. The developers are working on a new version. One of the changes will be a maintenance category. Articles where users add a lot of text from machine translation without changing it will be in that category. This is so the community can review it. The users will also have been warned before they publish the article that it has a lot of unchanged text from machine translations. [245]

Technische Wünsche: Die Spezialisierte Suche ist jetzt eine Standardfunktion.

So sieht die neue Suchoberfläche auf Spezial:Suche aus.

Du erhältst diese Nachricht, weil du dich für den Technische-Wünsche-Newsletter eingetragen hast.

Spezialisierte Suchen durchführen kann man in den Wikiprojekten schon länger – wenn man weiß, wie man Suchanfragen schreibt. Jetzt geht es auch ohne Expertise: Über ein Formular, das besonders häufige Suchoptionen enthält, kann man beispielsweise Seiten finden, die eine bestimmte Vorlage enthalten, Seiten ohne bestimmte Wörter und einiges mehr. Auch die Eingrenzung der Suche auf Namensräume ist nun einfacher möglich. So kann man nun etwa schneller gezielt auf Diskussionsseiten oder Hilfeseiten suchen.

Seit November 2017 haben mehr als 3.000 Leute die neue Suchoberfläche als Beta-Funktion getestet, nun ist sie standardmäßig für alle in der deutschsprachigen und in der Farsi, ungarischen und arabischen Wikipedia aktiviert. Weitere Wikis folgen in Kürze. Feedback ist wie immer auf der Diskussionsseite des Wunsches willkommen. Mehr Infos enthält die Projektseite. -- Für das Team Technische Wünsche: Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (Diskussion) 14:14, 15. Nov. 2018 (CET)

Technische Wünsche: Bei Mehrfachreferenzierung werden Fußnoten-Link-Buchstaben jetzt hervorgehoben

Beispiel: Ein Klick auf den Pfeil oder auf Buchstabe a führen zurück zur ursprünglichen Leseposition.

Hallo! Du erhältst diese Nachricht, weil du dich für den Newsletter Technische Wünsche eingetragen hast, um über umgesetzte Wünsche informiert zu werden. Danke dafür!

Der Wunsch Bei Mehrfachreferenzierung Fußnoten-Link-Buchstaben hervorheben wurde nun erledigt:

Wenn man in der Vergangenheit zu einer Fußnote gesprungen ist, auf die im Artikel mehrfach verwiesen wurde, und zurück zur vorherigen Leseposition springen wollte, wusste man nicht, welche der hochgestellten Sprungmarken (^{↑ a b c}  etc.) man dafür anklicken musste.

Jetzt ist jener Buchstabe fett hervorgehoben, der zurück zur vorherigen Leseposition führt. Außerdem gelangt man nun auch über den Pfeil am Anfang der Fußnote wieder zurück. Dieser war bislang bei mehrfach referenzierten Fußnoten nicht klickbar.

Die neue Funktion steht seit gestern auf allen Wikis zur Verfügung. Aufgrund von Server-Caching werden spätestens am 29. Dezember alle Seiten die oben genannten Änderungen anzeigen. Früher sind sie auf Seiten zu sehen, die bis dahin bearbeitet wurden oder deren Cache bereinigt wurde.

Feedback ist wie immer auf der Diskussionsseite des Wunsches willkommen. -- Viele Grüße, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (Diskussion) 11:47, 30. Nov. 2018 (CET)

Tech News: 2018-49

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

Letzte Änderungen

• Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [253]
• Kleine SVG-Dateien werden nun größer angezeigt, wenn man sie im MediaViewer betrachtet. [254]
• Man kann jetzt direkt in den bearbeiteten Abschnitt gelangen, wenn man auf den Abschnittsnamen im Bearbeitungskommentar klickt. Vorher musste man auf den kleinen Pfeil (→) klicken. [255]
• Wenn man auf eine Fußnote klickte, die mehrfach im Artikel genutzt wurde, war es schwierig wieder zur vorherigen Text­stelle zu gelangen. Jetzt wird der entsprechende Buchstabe gefettet und ein Pfeil am Anfang der Fußnote bietet einen Link zurück zur entsprechenden Textstelle. (WP:Technische Wünsche) [256][257]

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

• Diese Woche wird es keine neue MediaWiki-Version geben.

Treffen

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 5 Dezember at 16:00 (UTC) and at 23:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 Dezember. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 Dezember. It will be on all wikis from 13 Dezember (calendar).

Zukünftige Änderungen

• New accounts will need passwords that are at least 8 characters long. Admins, interface admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, CentralNotice admins, global renamers, check users, stewards and some other user groups will need passwords that are at least 10 characters long. This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [258][259]
• Wenn man den Mauszeiger über einen Fußnotenmarker fährt, wird die Fußnote in einem kleinen Popup-Fenster angezeigt, damit man nicht zum Ende der Seite wechseln muss, um die Fußnote zu lesen. Die Aktivierung dieser Funktion ist für 2019 geplant. Einige Wikis haben bereits Gadgets, die sowas machen. Die Funktion wird deaktivierbar sein. (WP:Technische Wünsche) [260]

Projektneuheiten:

• (Pywikibot) Eine neue Version 3.0.20181203 wurde als Tag bereitgestellt. Die Änderungen enthalten unter anderen:
  • Aus Sicherheitsgründen ist das Modul requests mindestens in der Version 2.20.0 erforderlich (Task 208296, Gerrit:470841). Diese Anforderung ist nicht restriktiv, Pywikibot mit einer älteren requests-Version läuft vorerst weiter. Es wird aber empfohlen, ein Update dieses Moduls vorzunehmen.
  • EventStreams kann nun mit einem Zeitstempel benutzt werden (Task 205121, Gerrit:462006); siehe auch wikitech:EventStreams.
  • Es wurden neue Generatoren bereitgestellt, die über die Optionen -wantedpages, -wantedcategories, -wantedfiles, -wantedtemplates direkt nutzbar sind (Task 56557, Task 150222, Gerrit:321089)
  • googleOCR über tools.wmflabs.org/ws-google-ocr wird unterstützt und kann mit wikisourcetext.py direkt genutzt werden. (Gerrit:446973)
• (Softwareumstellung) Alle bisher noch nicht umgestellten WMF-Wikis inkl. der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia wurden auf Version 1.33.0-wmf.8 umgestellt.

Für Jedermann

• (Softwareneuheit – Nur Administratoren) Administratoren, die gesperrt wurden, können den sie sperrenden Administrator nun sperren. Dies sollte vor allem in Wikis mit nur wenigen Administratoren helfen, falls ein Administratorkonto gehackt wurde und der Administrator alle anderen Administratoren sperrt. Durch die Möglichkeit der Rücksperre entsteht ein Patt, so dass dann die Stewards in Ruhe die Lage analysieren können (Task 150826, Gerrit:476080).

Für Programmierer

• (API) Mit dem Hinweis DEPRECATION: Action API uncaught exception error codes wird auf eine Änderung bei API-Fehlermeldungen hingewiesen. Das diesbezügliche Mail ist hier, für Pywikibot wurde Task 210657 geöffnet.

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

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.

Letzte Änderungen

• Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [261][262]
• Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [263]
• The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.

Probleme

• <ref> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <ref name="adams" group="books">. If a <ref> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [264]

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 Dezember. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 Dezember. It will be on all wikis from 20 Dezember (calendar).

Treffen

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 19 Dezember at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Zukünftige Änderungen

Newsletter der Jungwikipedianer (29. Dezember 2018)

Hallo Ptolusque!

• Nachdem sich im Dezember keiner gefunden hat, um Bilder für den Bilderwettbewerb zu nominieren, bietet sich im neuen Monat eine neue Chance. Hast du in letzter Zeit zur Bebilderung der Wikipedia beigetragen? Nominiere eines deiner Bilder doch zwischen dem 1. und dem 6. Januar 2019 zur Abstimmung für den Bilderwettbewerb, sodass es demnächst auf unserer Hauptseite präsentiert werden kann.
• Gleiches gilt auch für den Artikel des Monats. Fühle dich frei, einen Artikel dort zur Wahl zu stellen. Sowohl hier als auch für den Bilderwettbewerb gilt: Je mehr nominierte Artikel oder Bilder, desto besser.
• Da die wikipediainternen Aktivitäten hier weitgehend zum Erliegen gekommen sind, soll an dieser Stelle nochmal auf weitere JWP-interne Projekte verwiesen werden. In der Artikelwerkstatt kannst du eigene Artikelentwürfe präsentieren und dich beim Fertig stellen unterstützen lassen. Im Review kannst du eigene Artikel einstellen und von einer größeren Gruppe an Jungwikipedianern überarbeiten lassen.
• Der frühere Jungwikipedianer Kenny McFly hat vor etwas mehr als zwei Wochen eine E-Mail rundgeschickt und nach eurer Meinung bezüglich möglicher Verbesserungsvorschläge innerhalb der Jungwikipedianercommunity gefragt. Um ein möglichst rundes Bild von der Lage zu bekommen und alle Meinungen mit einzubeziehen wäre es hilfreich, wenn alle Jungwikipedianer, die diese E-Mail erhalten haben, diese auch beantworten würden. Jungwikipedianer, die diese E-Mail nicht erhalten haben, können Kenny McFly über die Mailadresse kenneth[punkt]wehr[at]wikipedia[punkt]de auch persönlich anschreiben.
• Zuletzt wäre es hilfreich, wenn alle Jungwikipedianer alle JWP-internen Seiten auf ihre Beobachtungslisten setzen, um immer über aktuelle Änderungen informiert werden.

Einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr und bis demnächst.
