Top 10, 20

Originály

Dalsia vec: ako budeme pisat originalne citaty? Pozrite si Shaw-a. Nevedel som ako to napisat. Doslo mi ze clovek co s wiki casto nerobi nemusi pochopit co znamena skratka cs:, sk:, apod... hlavne menej zname jazyky. a Takisto neviem ci je dobre tam pisat orig., original, alebo to vobec nepisat. --Neuromancer 08:38, 18 júl 2006 (UTC)

imho bud originalne znenie alebo nic, hadam ked uvidi clovek, ze je daco v inom jazyku tak ho napadne, ze je to povodne znenie, kto vie zapnut pocitac a pouzivat browser tak nemoze byt vymlety... (ale moja dovera v ludi bola po volbach otrasena :)) ) --KOR 08:57, 18 júl 2006 (UTC)

:) My sme to s Ham-om robievali vsade takto  :en: Blabla... Musime sa dohodnut na forme a vsade to tak robit. --Neuromancer 09:00, 18 júl 2006 (UTC)

good, dohodnite, mne je jedno, idem naranajkovat a potom popridavam tie citaty tam kde patria--KOR 09:02, 18 júl 2006 (UTC)

Moj navrh:

• Citat v slovencine (cas a miesto)

en: Citat v orig.

Popis pri akej prilezitosti bol citat vysloveny apod.

--Neuromancer 09:41, 18 júl 2006 (UTC)

dobre --KOR 10:20, 18 júl 2006 (UTC)

suhlasim, prosim upravte navod--ham 10:23, 18 júl 2006 (UTC) (inac tie volby bola dobra poznamka. odobna poznamka redaktora)

Nadávky

Potrebujem vediet vas nazor a urobit z toho jasne pravidlo. Mozno ze je to uz v normalnej wiky jasne ale tu na wikiquote to nie je. Ide mi o nadavky alebo nahrazky na nadavky (Vy..., K... atď viď Ján Slota). Myslim si že sa zbytočne znehodnocuju citaty ak su tu veci takehoto druhu. Nechcel by som nieco mazat bez urcitej diskusie. Viete co je mojim povolanim takze mam k tomu jasny postoj. Chcel by som vediet vas postoj. Budeme tolerovat taketo citaty, alebo budeme mazat taketo citaty, alebo upozornit doticneho prispievatela.. Citacie s nadavkami si mozem pozriet aj inde...--ham 00:36, 21. november 2006 (UTC)

no imho moznostou by bolo vyhviezdickovanie nadavok... tiez sa mi nadavky nepacia (iked musim priznat, ze ich niekedy dost hojne pouzivam...), ale vyroky s nadavkami tiez nie su vacsinou nejako extra hodnotne tak by nebola skoda ich aj odstranit... --KOR 00:44, 21. november 2006 (UTC)

no asi najzhodnejsou cestou je nerobit na ne odkaz (v podstate tak aj fungujeme - u politikov, filmov odkazy tak ci tak nie su(okrem osob). Ohladom hviezdiciek: ci je tam slovo alebo su tam hviezdicky (alebo ine znaky) stale vysledok v hlave je rovnaky, ze? :-) Vcera som prisiel este na jeden napad: napadlo mi ze taketo citaty by mohol vkladat iba registrovany ucastnik, tak si to clovek viac uvedomil ci ma ten citat taku hodnotu ze je potrebne to vlozit alebo nie. Samozrejme, o tom sa da aj protirecit ale aspon nieco.--ham 10:35, 21. november 2006 (UTC)

• Vyriesil som to! (aspon na teraz). Dufam ze nemate nic proti takemuto rieseniu. Pozrite sa uz na spomenutu stranku.--ham 12:36, 21. november 2006 (UTC)

subsekcie

Takze strucne: ako je to s Človek/A chapeme dufam vsetci. Teraz mi ide ide o +kove verzie vytvoril som Človek/+A ...navrhujem delit "po blokoch rekurzivne" co po slovensky znamena ze vytvarame novu stranku ak je pre dane pociatocne pismeno privela citatov. Momentalne sa to delilo "priamo na 2 pismena" co sposobovalo ze sa koli jednemu casto zacinajucemu slovu (vtomto pripade Ak) vytvorili zbytocne dalsie sekcie/stranky o jednom citate, co sposobilo privela klikania a cakania ak si to chcel clovek precitat. Pricom ale napr. mne by slo len o "delbu na sekcie koli prehladnosti" preto navrhujem prave tento sposob. V podstate moze byt obdobne pouzity aj pre samotne subsekcie zacinajuce slovom Človek, kde to je zial tiez delene uz priamo na stranky. Na hlavnej stranke temy by samozrejme ostalo vsetko navonok rovnake len by sa to prepisalo na anchor odkazy danej podsekcie. Toto riesenie prinesie 1. zrychlenie prezerania citatov 2. lahsiu manipulaciu pri vkladanie ci uz ludmi ale hlavne scriptami ;) 3. mozu sa rekurzivne tvorit dalsie podsekcie ako Človek/+Ak ale tie sa logicky budu tvorit len v pripade ze ju xceme dalej delit lebo bude uz privela citatov zacinajucich na Ak. 4. nevznikaju zbytocne stranky o jednom citate a je to logicke a prakticke ;) Dakujem za pozornost. Vyjadrite sa. --Kandy Talbot 22:24, 2. január 2007 (UTC)

Paci sa mi jak si vzdy musim desat krat precitat co si napisal lebo ty strasne vysvetlujes :D Nez neco z toho pochopim tak je dalsi den. Ale nie. Toto som pochopil. Ja uz som Ham-ovi pisal, ze tento sposob skracovania stranok treba nejako zmenit. Mne sa sice skor pozdavalo uplne to zrusit a nechat proste dlhe stranky ale budiz.

Ty si vlastne len presunul sekciu jedneho pismenka komplet na zvlast stranku. Ak si predstavis modelovu situaciu, ze mame stranku, napr. Boh na ktorej by uz bolo tolko citatov pod kazdym pismenom, ze prakticky kazde by sa dalo tvojim sposobom skratit. To vlastne z tej stranky Boh zostane len stranka plna odkazov.

A teraz ma napadla jedna docela dobra myslienka: ok, spravme to ako navrhujes (teda este zalezi na vyjadreni sa Hama, prip. KORa) a pod kazde pismeno napr. na tej stranke Clovek pod cast A dajme java skript ktory vypise odkaz, na ktory ked kliknem roztiahne ponuku setkych odkazov prvych dvoch psimeniek. (Podobne ako maju na anglickej a nemeckej wiki porobene niektore sablon- tzv. Expand)

Nazorny odkaz: Germany na en wiki uplne dole tie sablny

Ano idealne by bolo nedelit (rozumej delit vyzualne len na hlavnej stranke temy nadpismy Ab, Ak). Ja sa len snazim spravit kompromis , ze ked uz delit na podsekcie cez nove stranky tak nie tak kruto ako sa to deje teraz :)

Ad ten Expander v pripade ze budeme mat uz "celu abecedu" (cize toho bude vela Ab,Ac,Ad,Aj...) tak sa to moze pouzit ale pre momentalny stav to zatial asi netreba bo to by bol dalsi zbytocny klik :) --Kandy Talbot 23:18, 2. január 2007 (UTC)

Este take by the way na expandery: zavadzal by som ich iba v pripade ze registrovany uzivatel ma bud moznost zaskrtnut v nastaveniach "vzdy ukaz rozbalene" (lebo vid ten priklad z Germany - pride mi uchylne rozbalovat 1,2,3 riadky!) alebo/aj tie expandery spravit tak ze im moze byt nastaveny stav "som trapny jednoriadkovy defaultne ma rozbal nech neprudim :D"

So vsetkym co ste povedali - suhlasim. Talbotova uprava sa mi zda na start dlhej stranky logickejsia ako moja (najma ked ide o jednocitatovky - ale pred pol rokom ma to nenapadlo a robil som co som vedel). Ale aj ta myslienka od Neura sa mi velmi paci (slovaci maju tiez rolovacie listy). Tie myslienky by mohli fungovat v jednom. Mna napadla myslienka z isohunt.com (das vyhladat (napr:wiki), najde ti to, kliknes, rozvinie sa ti rolovatelny text). Mozno chcem vela, ale vy ste machri od kompov :-). Talbot mozes vytvorit pravidlo? Ak mas cas uprav slovo Milovanie, alebo Laska aby som mal definitivnu (aspon na teraz) podobu, podla nej sa budem snazit to upravovat.Vdaka. --ham 09:42, 3. január 2007 (UTC)

ad tie rolovatka ala isohunt: v minulosti som take cosi robil takze no problem, ale potom to bude treba hodit sem a nejake to css asi sem ale ktomu myslim nemam pristup tak potom vam poslem co tam hodit. Ale az po zajtrajsej a pozajtrajsej skuske! :D --Kandy Talbot 14:49, 3. január 2007 (UTC)

tak som ti spravil ten priklad na Láska bo obsahoval vsetky pripady. Ak zacina tema vlastnym slovom (laska ...) tak je subsekcia Láska/ ak treba vnorit dalej tak Láska/J - cize ostal tvoj system. Co sa tyka zaciatocneho pismena citatu tak s + Láska/+N (hoci logickejsie by to malo byt prehodene lebo + bolo v URI v minulosti brane ako medzera, ale ked si to uz takto zacal tak ta nechcem pliest - je to nepodstatny detail)

Zákaz mazania diskusií

Prosim nemazte nic co uz bolo vlozene do diskusií, mente kolko chcete ale diskusie (az na vynimky ako su vulgarizmy apod.) mozu byt neskor dolezite na rozne veci. A vypovedaju o com s diskutovalo atd. Navrhujem dat do pravidiel zakaz mazania diskusii, akokolvek plodnych alebo neplodnych. Vynimky: 1. kazdy si moze zmazat len vlastne prispevky, ak chce, nic ine, 2. mazanie vulgarizmov a inych nevhodnych prispevkov. Vyjadrite svoj názor a postoj. --Neuromancer 20:10, 3. január 2007 (UTC)

Samozrejme diskusie sa nemazu - je to vseobecne pravidlo. Dokonca na jednom fore ktore spravujem je zakazane mazanie aj vlastnych prispevkov ak su nane uz naviazane odpovede. Takze ja navrhujem len mazanie vulgarizmov a inych nevhodnych prispevkov. Na vlastne diskusie je dobry zvyk potom spravit archiv diskusii cize napr. /archiv2006 vramci novorocneho precistenia :D. Takze odomna ocakavajte ze ak uvidim takto nevhodne mazanie tak ho vratim spat ;) --Kandy Talbot 20:49, 3. január 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, ale ja som to zmazal len preto, lebo som to vlozil tam kde to ma byt (cs:Clive Staples Lewis), a to som aj zahrnul v upravach a aj s nim som to prejednal (vsimite si v upravach ze to najsamprv vlozil do stranky potom to zmazal a to iste vlozil do diskusie lebo si nebol isty ci to tam patri). PS: pozrite si moju diskusiu v casti C.S.Levis.

Ak mame citat v stranke NEZNAME a najdem AUTORA potom je logicke ak to presuniem na autora, a z neznamej to zmazem. Viem ze hovorime o diskusnej stranke, ale treba si uvedomit ze to nebola diskusia ale citat. Toto pravidlo som tu aj aplikoval, dokonca som v cs vytvoril autora a z sk presunul na cs. Ak aj to je zakazane budem to respektovat.--ham 21:15, 3. január 2007 (UTC)

Jaj to toto bol dovod na diskusiu o mazani? Ja som samozrejme hovoril o diskusiach ako takych, kde niekto vyjadri svoj nazor na nieco a niekto iny zareaguje - taketo by sa mazat nemalo... ad tento priklad kde sa jedna o citat, sktorym si dotycny nevedel rady - okomentoval to na Hamovej diskusnej stranke a ta ostala tak je vse OK. A kedze citat sa presunul na spravne miesto a citat nieje nazor redaktora tak aj to je OK ze sa vymazal - ved ked tam teraz je a nahodou sa ktomu dostanem tak cumim nato ze "a co tim chtel basnik rici?" ;) Aneb logika vravi bud vymazat a do komentaru mazania napisat riesenie (stalo sa - OK) alebo nechat a okomentovat ze co sa stym teda spravilo... tento stav ze tam znova vysi len citat je s pohladu buducnosti kazdopadne spatny - vyrieste si to prosim ;) --Kandy Talbot 22:31, 3. január 2007 (UTC)

Ženský rod

Uz dlhsie rozmyslam nad autormi ci respektovat v povolani zensky rod alebo nie. Viem ze existujú dva tvary (mozno slovensky je spravne ten prvy tvar, ale v inzeratoch vidim bez problemov aj ten druhy) napr.: WIKTORIA QUOTOVA - menežerka, ale aj menežer tlače. Ono s menami je trochu problem. Napriklad Pavol Hnilica, si pise vo svojich dokumentoch (a nie len v nich) Pavol Maria Hnilica (pozri napr. osobnosti.sk) - ak som Slovak viem ze je to muz, ak by som bol anglicky hovoriaci (a pri tom neveriaci) nemam ani potuchy ci ide o muza alebo zenu.

Takze sa priklanam (a dodnes som to tak robil) aby bol zachovany muzsky rod.--ham 14:44, 4. január 2007 (UTC)

BLOG. web

Na stranku Štefan Hríb bol doložený citát z blogu nemyslím si že je to miesto kde by sme mali datat citaty nejakych ludi, ktori si sami nieco napisu a je mozne, ze aj spropaguju na wikicitatoch. prosim vyjadrite sa. vdaka (PS: mozno by bolo dobre zaviest aj hlasovaciu stranku - prebrat pravidla atd.)

No kontroloval som posledne upravy odspodu, takze som najprv spravil zmeny a potom som si toto precital. A moja reakcia bude rovnaka ako pri zhrnuti uprav: Wikicitáty:Zásady a pravidlá a neviem ci to potrebuje dalsi komentar, bo ste to v zaciatkoch napisali jasne a logicky a neda sa nesuhlasit. --Kandy Talbot 11:01, 11. marec 2007 (UTC)

Ako dalej aneb TO DO

Len strucne si sem poznamenam hlavne myslienky ktore mi vrtaju hlavou a nad ktorymi mozte aj vy uz zacat premyslat, ale rozvyniem a upresnim ich az neskor.

1. najdolezitejsie! zaviest system citovania zdrojov, aby sa nam nestalo to co francuzskej wikiquote – zacinaju od znova :( info vid tu
   1. uloha pre hama: zistit ako to len pojde z ktorych zdrojov cerpali ludia, ktory ti posielali tych plno stran A4 citatov. Referencie knih su dolezite.
   2. uloha pre mna: pripravit typograficke sablony/navod – bud formou references tagu, alebo aspon ako som to vkladal napr. u Tomáš Baťa (ale pripravim to este presnejsie podla ISO 690 nech to ma uroven - som sa stym cely den babral pri bakalarke)
2. rozlisit ci je citat uvedeny v originalnom jazyku a ak nie, snazit sa o jeho uvedenie tiez s citaciou zdroja (na stránkach autora)
3. citaty s verejnych vystupeni a stare PD-old su v pohode, ale citaty s filmov a knihy niesu uplne OK - upresnim neskor
4. medziprojektova komunikacia - hlavne wikisource + dalsie open projekty - upresnim neskor
5. poriadok v Kategória:Literárne diela + prepojenie citatov – rozumej pri pridani citatu nie len autor+temy, ale aj v ramci diel z ktorych je citovane. /ja viem ze je to dalsia praca naviac, ale podstatne to zvysi kvalitu projektu a strukturovanost informacii. Teraz mame v podstate len "nahadzane citaty do tem a k autorom podla abecedy" - narychlo som nasiel ine ako abecedu len Matka Tereza (Kniha - myšlienky na každý deň) abo Evanjelia pri Jezisovi.
6. Slotu, Fica a spol. som rovno odstranil s TOP 10 – nekvalitne citaty nemusia byt hned na ociach

Ano viem, su to skor dlhodobe ciele s velkym narokom na cas a ludske zdroje, ale treba zacat cim skor a naozaj si 2krat rozmysliet pri tlacitku Ulozit stranku ci ten text nadtym o GFDL suhlasi stym co vkladam. Nastoleny trend z minulosti s honbou za poctom novych tem, by som tymto rad presunul do ustrania a bol by som racej keby ste sa pridali k aspon strucne navrhnutemu smerovaniu projektu. (a dufam ze to nepisem len pre Hama ;)) --Kandy Talbot 17:25, 21. máj 2007 (UTC)

-Chlapi, toto odomna necakajte, aby som zhanal kde co som nasiel (2/3 su sice od ludi ktorych poznam). ja som ukladal citaty, ktore mi prisli na jednu komu (je ich do zblaznenia). jedine co viem ze prve citaty ktore som zacal vkladat boli z portalu sme, cituj atd... potom mi zacali chodit citaty v tej podobe ako to vkladam. zistil som ze nie som sam co si vypisovali citaty a dali si ich do wordu. Ked tak rozmyslam tak som asi skoncil na wiki. Velmi ma bavi vkladat citaty. Ale ked som si prezrel moje citaty tak neviem ci vobec mam 1% citat+zdroj. Pripomima mi to moju skolu na klavir po niekolkych rokoch hry som skoncil pre teoriu. Hra ma bavila...

-Ak sa najde citat napriklad na en, de... wiki bude sediet ten citat ako zdroj?

-Prosim cim skor zalohovat tieto wiki na nejaku normalnu podobu.

-bod 6: uplne s tym suhlasim. ja som to chcel ale ma isli "ukamenovat", tak som aspon presadil sablonu s nevhodnou tematikou. ale ak by sa hlasovalo som za okamzite zmazanie.--ham 20:56, 21. máj 2007 (UTC)

-moja meta bola dostat sa do patky (ked som si zratal ukladanie novych stranok videl som ze by to bolo celkom realne). hoci uznam ze keby sme sa dostali do prvej 3 nehneval by som sa :-) hoci dostanie sa na prve to prinasa aj zo sebou viac pozornosti...--ham 20:56, 21. máj 2007 (UTC)

Jaaj som to hned v zaciatkoch zbytocne prepalil tak ako vsetko. Ja by som zatial len tomu bol rad, ze ked vkladame citat napr. s knizky tak ju uvedieme. Na zaciatok po krockoch. Problem je ze na nete sa vacsinou ani nedaju dohladat citaty ktore vkladas, lebo su proste z "VIP zdrojov" ;). Niektore starsie su nastastie uplne totozne stym co tu mam jednu malu zbierku od Willhelma Muhsa (je to preklad z talianskeho originalu). Takze 365 ich mozem teoreticky nasourcovat ;). A takto by sa dalo spytat aspon tych hlavnym prispievatol na dalsie zdroje - casom, v klude, pianko :) (len aby sme proste mali nieco malo v rukach - aj vo vseobecnosti plati ze citacie zdrojov zvysuju uroven projektu ;))

Samozrejme co sa samotneho obsahu tyka netreba sa nicoho bat, uz nejaky ten patek existuje offline verzia vid komentar na mojej redaktorskej stranke - premna je najmenej to co je tu spustit na inom servry (na locale mi uz dlhsie bezi kopia wikicitatov). Takze nic sa nedeje, treba byt kludny, len som chcel vyjadrit svoje myslienkove pochody v dalsom smerovani wikicitatov, ktore sa budu tykat nasourcovavania ;)

A hlavne POKRACUJ V HRANI DALEJ!!! a teoriu nechaj na mna ;). Velmy si vazim to co robis pre wikicitaty, bo hlavne vdaka tebe su tam kde su a to je fakt. Ved naco su teorie bez hrania? Na nic! Takze pekne pokracujeme dalej a bude pohoda jazzik ;). Nabuduce budem opatrnejsi pri formulovani dlhodobych planov ;) --Kandy Talbot 22:06, 21. máj 2007 (UTC)

samozrejme aj ja som za aby sa nasli zdroje ale tie zatial nemam... (vyse tisicky som mal napisane v jednom zosite dokial som nenarazil na wiki - nikdy by ma nenapadlo ze budem potrebovat este nejake zdroje, stale mi stacil autor a citat). prajem prijemne pocuvanie jazziku...--ham 08:21, 23. máj 2007 (UTC)

Referencie

Prosim doplnajme len relevantne referencie a odkazy. Tzn. originalna bibliograficka citacia, alebo weby so zdrojmi (takych je minimum). Pri externych odkazoch najlepsie zoznam citacii od konkretneho autora nie "zbierky kade coho na kadejakych weboch". Ciel je zvysovat vierohodnost a uroven nie opacne ;). Vdaka! PS: Ham vdaka za tak enormnu snahu!, ale netreba to prehanat – len ucelovo nato ist. Inak super! — Kandy Talbot 04:45, 30. máj 2007 (UTC)

Balíme

Balíme kufre. :( Začnem sa asi o 2 týždne venovať tvorbe vlastného a vhodnejšieho systému, kde môžeme pokračovať. Dôvod viď meta:Metapub/On disbanding Wikiquote. Kto sa chce pridať a pomôcť, nech dá vedieť a dám mu potom prístup. Systém bude na prácu oveľa jednoduchší (nebude potreba rozhadzovať citáty na stránky, len im pridať tagy/kategórie). Používateľ si bude môcť citáty jednoducho "ohviezdičkovať" alebo robiť vlastné zoznamy a mnoho iného. Záloha Wikicitátov už prebehla. Systém bude mať verejnú GFDL časť podľa roku úmrtia autorov (Seneca a spol.), ktorá môže byť prenesená naspäť na Wikizdroj. —Kandy Talbot 09:13, 12. september 2008 (UTC)

Asi sa na to dám, teda ak sa hodí niekto kto bude pridávať odkazy na wiki, commons, prípadne defaultsort a tak. Vasiľ 10:18, 12. september 2008 (UTC)

Dobre že vravíš, takže zazálohujem aj témy kvôli medziprojektovými odkazmi a potom z toho vycucám čo už máme. Spravím ti tam checkboxi na projekty + upresnenie názvu ak je rozdielny. —Kandy Talbot 14:36, 12. september 2008 (UTC)

Report on Voter Feedback from Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines Ratification

Hello all,

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) project team has completed the analysis of the feedback accompanying the ratification vote on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines.

Following the completion of the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines Draft in 2022, the guidelines were voted on by the Wikimedian community. Voters cast votes from 137 communities, with the top 9 communities being: English, German, French, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Italian Wikipedias, and Meta-wiki.

Those voting had the opportunity to provide comments on the contents of the Draft document. 658 participants left comments. 77% of the comments are written in English. Voters wrote comments in 24 languages with the largest numbers in English (508), German (34), Japanese (28), French (25), and Russian (12).

A report will be sent to the Revision Drafting Committee who will refine the enforcement guidelines based on the community feedback received from the recently concluded vote. A public version of the report is published on Meta-wiki here. The report is available in translated versions on Meta-wiki. Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka

Again, we thank all who participated in the vote and discussions. We invite everyone to contribute during the next community discussions. More information about the Universal Code of Conduct and Enforcement Guidelines can be found on Meta-wiki.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election 2022 - Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Další jazyky • Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka

Hi all,

Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:

July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass

July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements

July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements

August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements

August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements

August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Další jazyky • Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka

Hello everyone,

The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions committee is requesting comments regarding the Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). This review period will be open from 8 September 2022 until 8 October 2022.

The Committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input gathered from the community discussion period from May through July, as well as the community vote that concluded in March 2022. The revisions are focused on the following four areas:

1. To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training;
2. To simplify the language for more accessible translation and comprehension by non-experts;
3. To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons;
4. To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused

The Committee requests comments and suggestions about these revisions by 8 October 2022. From there, the Revisions Committee anticipates further revising the guidelines based on community input.

Find the Revised Guidelines on Meta, and a comparison page in some languages.

Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome comments in any language on the Revised Enforcement Guidelines talk page. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local discussions, or during conversation hours. There are a series of conversation hours planned about the Revised Enforcement Guidelines; please see Meta for the times and details.

The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large number of communities. If you do not see a conversation happening in your community, please organize a discussion. Facilitators can assist you in setting up the conversations. Discussions will be summarized and presented to the drafting committee every two weeks. The summaries will be published here.

Movement Charter: End of the community consultation round 1

Další jazyky • Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka

Hi everyone,

On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC), we would like to thank everyone who has participated in our first community wide consultation period on the Movement Charter.

People from across the Movement shared their feedback and thoughts on the content of the Movement Charter. If you have not had the chance to share your opinion yet, you are welcome to do so still by giving the drafts a read and filling out the anonymous survey, which is accessible in 12+ languages. The survey will close on January 2, 2023. You are invited to continue to share your thoughts with the MCDC via email too: movementcharter@wikimedia.org.

What’s next?

The Movement Strategy and Governance team will publish the final report with the summary of the feedback received in January 2023. It will be shared with the MCDC and the communities via different distribution channels.

After receiving the final report, the MCDC will review the suggestions and communicate the changes by providing an explanation on how and why suggestions were or were not adopted in the next versions of the drafts. There will be additional ways to engage with the Movement Charter content in 2023, including early feedback on a proposed ratification process and new drafts of different chapters in the second quarter of 2023.

We invite you to sign-up to the MCDC monthly newsletter, it will be delivered to the Talk page of your choice. Monthly updates are available on Meta to remain updated on the progress of the MCDC.

Interested people can still sign-up to become a Movement Charter Ambassador (MC Ambassador) to support their community. The MC Ambassadors Program grant program will restart accepting applications from both individuals and groups ahead of the next round of consultations in the second quarter of 2023.

We thank you for your participation, time and effort in helping to build the Charter for our Movement!

Lokálne používanie

Chlapi, dá sa stiahnut na HDD celý obsah Wikicitátov. Nechcel by som ani vkladať, iba čisto používať citáty bez toho aby som bol na nete. Niekde som počul že to ide. Može mi niekto (alebo iba Neuro? :-) dať nejaký postup ako to urobiť? Vďaka.

• Mas dve moznosti: Prva: stiahnut slovenské wikicitáty odtialto: skwikiquote, co neviem ako dopadne, lebo to stiahne xml subor a s tym som si moc rady nevedel. Druha: Dat stiahnut stranku sk.wikiquote.org cez nejaky program, napr. WebZip. Tam si nastavis ci chces stahovat aj obrazky, ci ma stahovat aj odkazy a co je za nimi apod. (pozor aby si nenastavil ze ma stahovat aj odkazy na ine servery, lebo je to potom schopne stahnut cely internet :))) WebZip by si mal najst napr. na serveri slunecnize.cz myslim. --Neuromancer 14:12, 21 jún 2006 (UTC)

• webzip neni zrovna lahky na pouzivanie ale treba trpezlivost a naucit sa to s nim. a k tej mojej prvej moznosti: je program xml view tiez ho najdes na slunecnice.cz ktory ten xml subor precita. --Neuromancer 14:40, 21 jún 2006 (UTC)

Stratene v preklade

Ja len aby otom bol zaznam a nezlakli ste sa ake veci som pomenil. Tak par podstatnych.

1. pridane hlavne kategorie v lavej navigacii (k ostatnym kategoriam sa da cez ne preklikat - nechcem tam davat viac koli tomu ze mam navigaciu fixnutu)
2. rozna rekategorizacia a vytvorenie novych, ale hlavne odstranene kategorie Povolanie A-Z koli prehladnosti (bol vtom bordel co sa Tém tyka). Asi ste si pri vytvarani neuvedomili ze slo len o zrkadlovu kategorizaciu casto jednoclennej povahy. Takze vznikla cista Kategória:Povolania kde vidiet vsetky podkategorie. Témy som dal do Kategória:Povolanie (lebo ked to bolo v Povolanie X tak to bolo totalne neefektivne a listovanie abecedou, keby toho bolo uz naozaj vela, sa da vyriesit aj technicky zdatnejsie vid ako som to spravil v Kategória:Témy). Zatial tolko k poslednym zasadnejsim zmenam. --Kandy Talbot 12:37, 15. apríl 2007 (UTC)

vidim ze pocas "skoskoveho" obd. nemas co robit ;-) tie povolania boli od zaciatku, ja som tam len pridaval (ale po pravde povedane nepamatam si kedy som hladal cloveka podla povolania - samozrejme ak som bol na dotycnom potom som si rad pozrel jeho kategoriu). pre mna za mna je tato kategoria na hl. stranke zbytocna. mozno by stacil iba ten odkaz co si vyrobil. ja som za.--ham 06:51, 16. apríl 2007 (UTC)

Dobre ze vravis, ja som si ani nevsimol ze su odkazy na hlavnej stranke. O:-) Asi dam racej Top povolania a neaky odkaz "dalsie.." na cely vypis, kedze abeceda je vcelku zbytocna kedze sa vsetky povolania zobrazia na jednej stranke. --Kandy Talbot 08:48, 16. apríl 2007 (UTC)

mož byť, možno by aj temy bolo vhodne upraviť do zakladnych tem (10,20) a tiez abeceda moze ist fuc. moj nazor--ham 11:42, 16. apríl 2007 (UTC)

Sablona Projekt

Este ma napdlo uz mozte pouzivat novu sablonu {{Projekt}} Vklada sa namiesto pozri aj pred externe odkazy. To aby sme boli pekne kompatibilny s wikipediou ;)

Najbežnejšie použitie

== Iné projekty ==
{{projekt|w}}

Upresnenie parametrov:

Len pri novovytvorenych clankoch ich pouzite - nahradzovanie starych budu riesit stroje spolu so synchranizaciou na wikipedii (hned ako si najdem cas). --Kandy Talbot 23:23, 21. máj 2007 (UTC)

Pismenkove kategorie

Škoda že boli v začiatkoch zbytočne vytvorené kategórie písiem. Stačilo by toto:

A· B· C· D· E· F· G· H· I· J· K· L· M· N· O· P· Q· R· S· T· U· V· W· X· Y· Z

Ale nič to. Aspoň pri nových autoroch ich už nepoužívajme. Samozrejme ich ponecháme keď už sú, len ich odlinkujem nech nekazia výpis a snáď časom "vymrú" :) Rozumej keď vás to náhodou napadne odstrelte ich pri úpravách – čiže žiadne ďalšie prečisťovávacie akcie neplánujem ;) — Kandy Talbot 16:22, 30. máj 2007 (UTC)

Bot policy

Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which form the vast majority of such requests. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. Please read the text at m:Bot policy before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests.

Implemented. —Pathoschild 06:43:01, 21 november 2009 (UTC)

Znemožnění lokálního uploadu

Vzhledem k tomu, že slovenské Wikicitáty nemají povolenu žádnou licenční výjimku a veškerý svobodný multimediální obsah patří na Commons, vypnu tady lokální upload (zůstane povolen pouze pro správce, kteří mohou v případě potřeby aktualizovat logo).

Developer Wishlist Survey: propose your ideas

At the Wikimedia Developer Summit, we decided to organize a Developer Wishlist Survey, and here we go:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Wishlist

The Wikimedia technical community seeks input from developers for developers, to create a high-profile list of desired improvements. The scope of the survey includes the MediaWiki platform (core software, APIs, developer environment, enablers for extensions, gadgets, templates, bots, dumps), the Wikimedia server infrastructure, the contribution process, and documentation.

The best part: we want to have the results published by Wednesday, February 15. Yes, in a month, to have a higher chance to influence the Wikimedia Foundation annual plan FY 2017-18.

There's no time to lose. Propose your ideas before the end of January, either by pushing existing tasks in Phabricator or by creating new ones. You can find instructions on the wiki page. Questions and feedback are welcome especially on the related Talk page.

The voting phase is expected to start on February 6 (tentative). Watch this space (or even better, the wiki page) - SSethi_(WMF) January 21st, 2017 3:07 AM (UTC)

Developer Wishlist Survey: Vote for Proposals

Almost two weeks ago, the Technical Collaboration team invited proposals for the first edition of the Developer Wishlist survey!

We collected around 77 proposals that were marked as suitable for the developer wishlist and met the defined scope and criteria. These proposals fall into the following nine categories: Frontend, Backend, Code Contribution (Process, Guidelines), Extensions, Technical Debt, Developer Environment, Documentation, Tools (Phabricator, Gerrit) and Community Engagement.

Voting phase starts now and will run until February 14th, 23:59 UTC. Click here on a category and show support for the proposals you care for most. Use the 'Vote' and 'Endorse' buttons next to a proposal to do so.

What happens next?
Proposals that will gather most votes will be included in the final results which will be published on Wednesday, February 15th. These proposals will also be considered in the Wikimedia Foundation’s annual plan FY 2017-18 - SSethi_(WMF) (talk) 04:41, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Improvements coming soon to Recent Changes

Hello

Sorry to use English. Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka! Děkujeme vám.

In short: starting on 26 September, New Filters for Edit Review (now in Beta) will become standard on Recent Changes. They provide an array of new tools and an improved interface. If you prefer the current page you will be able to opt out. Learn more about the New Filters.

What is this feature again?

This feature improves Special:RecentChanges and Special:RecentChangesLinked (and soon, Special:Watchlist – see below).

Based on a new design, it adds new features that ease vandalism tracking and support of newcomers:

• Filtering - filter recent changes with easy-to-use and powerful filters combinations, including filtering by namespace or tagged edits.
• Highlighting - add a colored background to the different changes you are monitoring. It helps quick identification of changes that matter to you.
• Bookmarking to keep your favorite configurations of filters ready to be used.
• Quality and Intent Filters - those filters use ORES predictions. They identify real vandalism or good faith intent contributions that need help. They are not available on all wikis.

You can know more about this project by visiting the quick tour help page.

Concerning RecentChanges

Starting on 26 September, New Filters for Edit Review will become standard on Recent Changes. We have decided to do this release because of a long and successful Beta test phase, positive feedback from various users and positive user testing.

Some features will remain as Beta features and will be added later. Learn more about those different features.

If your community has specific concerns about this deployment or internal discussion, it can request to have the deployment to their wikis delayed to October 1, if they have sensible, consistent with the project, actionable, realistic feedback to oppose (at the development team's appreciation).

You will also be able to opt-out this change in your preferences.

Concerning Watchlists

Starting on September 19, the Beta feature will have a new option. Watchlists will have all filters available now on the Beta Recent Changes improvements.

If you have already activated the Beta feature "⧼eri-rcfilters-beta-label⧽", you have no action to take. If you haven't activated the Beta feature "⧼eri-rcfilters-beta-label⧽" and you want to try the filters on Watchlists, please go to your Beta preferences on September 19.

How to be ready

Please share this announcement!

Do you use Gadgets that change things on your RecentChanges or Watchlist pages, or have you customized them with scripts or CSS? You may have to make some changes to your configuration. Despite the fact that we have tried to take most cases into consideration, some configurations may break. The Beta phase is a great opportunity to have a look at local scripts and gadgets: some of them may be replaced by native features from the Beta feature.

Please ping me if you have questions.

Apologies for writing in English. Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka.

Greetings,

Global preferences, a highly request feature in the 2016 Community Wishlist, is available for testing.

1. Read over the help page, it is brief and has screenshots
2. Login or register an account on Beta English Wikipedia
3. Visit Global Preferences and try enabling and disabling some settings
4. Visit some other language and project test wikis such as English Wikivoyage, the Hebrew Wikipedia and test the settings
5. Report your findings, experience, bugs, and other observations

Once the team has feedback on design issues, bugs, and other things that might need worked out, the problems will be addressed and global preferences will be sent to the wikis.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! --Keegan (WMF) (talk) 00:24, 27. február 2018 (UTC)

Notification from edit summary

Greetings,

The ability to notify other users in edit summaries will be available later this week, on 15 March 2018. Other users can be notified if a link to their user page is provided in an edit summary. Some user-made gadgets and scripts that automatically put user names in edit summaries may need to be changed to put a colon in the link, such as [[:User:Example]]. You can change how you receive these mention notifications in your preferences. This feature was highly requested in the 2017 Community Wishlist survey, and feedback is welcome.

Thanks, happy editing to you. -Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 12. marec 2018 (UTC)

We need your feedback to improve Lua functions

Hello,

(I’m sorry for writing in English. Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka)

If you’re regularly using Lua modules, creating and improving some of them, we need your feedback!

The Wikidata development team would like to provide more Lua functions, in order to improve the experience of people who write Lua scripts to reuse Wikidata's data on the Wikimedia projects. Our goals are to help harmonizing the existing modules across the Wikimedia projects, to make coding in Lua easier for the communities, and to improve the performance of the modules.

We would like to know more about your habits, your needs, and what could help you. We have a few questions for you on this page. Note that if you don’t feel comfortable with writing in English, you can answer in your preferred language.

Ďakujeme Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 08:55, 27. marec 2018 (UTC)

Wikitext highlighting out of beta

Wikitext syntax highlighting, also known as CodeMirror, has been moved out of Beta Features and is available in the 2017 Wikitext Editor on all wikis. Syntax highlighting helps you see problems in your wikitext before previewing or publishing text. Please try out the tool if you did not do so while it was being developed, and feedback is welcome. - Keegan (WMF) (talk)

Improvements coming soon on Watchlists

Hello

Sorry to use English. Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka! Děkujeme vám.

In short: starting on June 18, New Filters for Edit Review (now in Beta) will become standard on Watchlists. They provide an array of new tools and an improved interface. If you prefer the current page you will be able to opt out. Learn more about the New Filters.

What is this feature again?

This feature is used by default on Special:RecentChanges, Special:RecentChangesLinked and as a Beta feature on Special:Watchlist.

Based on a new design, that feature adds new functions to those pages, to ease vandalism tracking and support of newcomers:

• Filtering - filter recent changes with easy-to-use and powerful filters combinations, including filtering by namespace or tagged edits.
• Highlighting - add a colored background to the different changes you are monitoring. It helps quick identification of changes that matter to you.
• Bookmarking to keep your favorite configurations of filters ready to be used.
• Quality and Intent Filters - those filters use ORES predictions. They identify real vandalism or good faith intent contributions that need help. They are not available on all wikis.

You can know more about this project by visiting the quick tour help page.

About the release on Watchlists

Over 70,000 people have activated the New Filters beta, which has been in testing on Watchlist for more than eight months. We feel confident that the features are stable and effective, but if you have thoughts about these tools or the beta graduation, please let us know on the project talk page. In particular, tell us if you know of a special incompatibility or other issue that makes the New Filters problematic on your wiki. We’ll examine the blocker and may delay release on your wiki until the issue can be addressed.

The deployment will start on June 18 or on June 25, depending on the wiki (check the list). After the deployment, you will also be able to opt-out this change directly from the Watchlist page and also in your preferences.

How to be ready?

Please share this announcement!

If you use local Gadgets that change things on your Watchlist pages, or have a customized scripts or CSS, be ready. You may have to make some changes to your configuration. Despite the fact that we have tried to take most cases into consideration, some configurations may break. The Beta phase is a great opportunity to have a look at local scripts and gadgets: some of them may be replaced by native features from the Beta feature.

Please share your questions and comments on the feedback page.

Update on page issues on mobile web

Update on page issues on mobile web

Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.

So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:

• The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
• Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
• Readers care about page issues and consider them important
• Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues

Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

Consultation on the creation of a separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS

(Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka)

Hi all,

I'm preparing a change in who can edit sitewide CSS/JS pages. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which are executed in the browser of all readers and editors.) Currently all administrators are able to edit these pages, which poses a serious and unnecessary security risk. Soon, a dedicated, smaller user group will take over this task. Your community will be able to decide who belongs in this group, so this should mean very little change for you. You can find out more and provide feedback at the consultation page on Meta. If you are involved in maintaining CSS/JS code, or policymaking around adminship requests, please give it a look!

Thanks!

Google Code-In will soon take place again! Mentor tasks to help new contributors!

Hi everybody! Google Code-in (GCI) will soon take place again - a seven week long contest for 13-17 year old students to contribute to free software projects. Tasks should take an experienced contributor about two or three hours and can be of the categories Code, Documentation/Training, Outreach/Research, Quality Assurance, and User Interface/Design. Do you have any Lua, template, gadget/script or similar task that would benefit your wiki? Or maybe some of your tools need better documentation? If so, and you can imagine enjoying mentoring such a task to help a new contributor, please check out mw:Google Code-in/2019 and become a mentor. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at our talk page. Many thanks in advance! --Martin Urbanec 07:28, 5. november 2019 (UTC)

Technical maintenance planed‬

A maintenance operation will be performed tomorrow morning UTC time (Wednesday 17th at 07:00 AM UTC).

It will impact all wikis and is supposed to last up to one minute.

During this time, new translations may fail, and Notifications may not be delivered. For more details about the operation and on all impacted services, please check on Phabricator.

A banner will be displayed 30 minutes before the operation.

About deploying StructuredCategories in the Slovak Wikiquote

Hello,

I developed a Gadget that generates a link to a structured description of a given Wikimedia category based on the commonly used Wikidata statements to efficiently define its direct members. Please find the description of the Gadget at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Structured_Categories and its JavaScript source code at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Csisc/StructuredCategories.js. I ask how to deploy this tool in the Slovak Wikiquote so that it can be featured in the Preferences for users.

Yours Sincerely,

--Csisc (diskusia) 15:28, 16. apríl 2021 (UTC)

Coolest Tool Award 2021: Call for nominations

The third edition of the m:Coolest Tool Award is looking for nominations!

Tools play an essential role for the Wikimedia projects, and so do the many volunteer developers who experiment with new ideas and develop and maintain local and global solutions to support the Wikimedia communities. The Coolest Tool Award aims to recognize and celebrate the coolest tools in a variety of categories.

The awarded projects will be announced and showcased in a virtual ceremony in December. Deadline to submit nominations is October 27. More information: m:Coolest Tool Award. Thanks for your recommendations! -- SSethi (WMF) for the 2021 Coolest Tool Academy team 05:57, 19. október 2021 (UTC)

Community Wishlist Survey 2022 is coming. Help us!

The Community Wishlist Survey 2022 starts in less than two weeks (Monday 10 January 2022, 18:00 UTC). We, the team organizing the Survey, need your help.

Translate important messages

Promote the Survey Among anyone and everyone you know who has an account on wiki. Promote the Survey on social media, via instant messaging apps, in other groups and chats, in your WikiProject, Wikimedia affiliate - wherever contributors with registered accounts may be.

Only you can make the difference

How many people will hear and read about the Survey in their language? How many will decide to participate? Will there be enough of you to vote for a change you would like to see? It all depends on you, volunteers.

Why are we asking?

• We have improved the documentation. It's friendlier and easier to use. This will mean little if it's only in English.
• Thousands of volunteers haven't participated in the Survey yet. We'd like to improve that, too. Three years ago, 1387 people participated. Last year, there were 1773 of them. We hope that in the upcoming edition, there will be even more. You are better than us in contacting Wikimedians outside of wikis. We have prepared some images to share. More to come.

What is the Community Wishlist Survey?

It's an annual survey that allows contributors to the Wikimedia projects to propose and vote for tools and platform improvements. Long years of experience in editing or technical skills are not required.

Thanks, and be safe and successful in 2022! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 03:15, 29. december 2021 (UTC)

Rollout of the new audio and video player

Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka

Hello,

Over the next months we will gradually change the audio and video player of Wikis from Kultura to Video.js and with that, the old player won’t be accessible anymore. The new player has been active as a beta feature since May 2017.

The new player has many advantages, including better design, consistent look with the rest of our interface, better compatibility with browsers, ability to work on mobile which means our multimedia will be properly accessible on iPhone, better accessibility and many more.

The old player has been unmaintained for eight years now and is home-brewn (unlike the new player which is a widely used open source project) and uses deprecated and abandoned frameworks such as jQuery UI. Removing the old player’s code also improves performance of the Wikis for anyone visiting any page (by significantly reducing complexity of the dependency graph of our ResourceLoader modules. See this blog post.). The old player has many open bugs that we will be able to close as resolved after this migration.

The new player will solve a lot of old and outstanding issues but also it will have its own bugs. All important ones have been fixed but there will be some small ones to tackle in the future and after the rollout.

What we are asking now is to turn on the beta feature for the new player and let us know about any issues.

You can track the work in T100106

doplnenie slova

Je potrebné písat za podobné (alebo) a za opak ešte slovo slová(a)? Zdá sa mi že je to zbytočné, dá sa to logicky vydedukovať, nie?--ham 17:25, 14 jún 2006 (UTC)

• Beries vsetko prilis logicky- ze si clovek nieco dokaze aj domysliet- to je sice pravda. ale toto je vlastne odnož wikipedie a mali by sme mat podobne strohy styl pisania. Administrativno-naucny styl. Takze k tomu doplnaniu slova "slova/á": myslim ze je to potrebne. --Neuromancer 17:49, 14 jún 2006 (UTC)

mám rád logiku... ale keď mi to niekto pekne vysvetlí rád to prímem... :-)--ham 17:52, 14 jún 2006 (UTC)

prosim o vysvetlenie / prosím vysvetliť

ako nadpis naznacuje prosim vysvetlite mi napr. Vládnuť -> Vládnutie ok takto som to zacal aj ja presmerovavat... hmm ale napr. kde nic tu nic Počúvať - Počúvanie, 2 stranky, ziadne presmerovanie a na dalsich miestach je to pripadne este aj s opacnym presmerovanim. Tak teda ako a preco? co je zakladny tvar? nejake gramaticke pravidla poprosim vysvetlit - na toto sa uz prestavam chytat, hlavne ked vidim pripady nasadenia. Diik --Kandy Talbot 13:02, 1. február 2007 (UTC)

mi sme na diskusii predebatili (s Neurom v casti Nové slová) ze budeme vkladat podstatne slova. presvedcili tak sa snazim ale niekedy mi to ujde. Dokonca sme to vlozili aj do Wikicitáty:Návod cast slovo citatu. Niekedy mi to ujde, treba tu jednoducho urobit redir.--ham 22:37, 5. február 2007 (UTC)

Dalsie pravidla A-Z Kvizu

1. Prosim wikifovat a zaradovat citaty podla slov nie podla vyznamu. Cize ak je v citate slovo zaciatok dame ho pod temu zaciatok nie start.
2. pozor na sloveso vyjadrujuce dej vs. podstatne meno s rovnakym korenom slova. Dajme slovu co najpresnejsi vyznam.
3. wikifovat uvazene - ak neake slovo nema extra vyznam v citate, tak ho nechajme tak - to by som mohol spustit bota co zwikifuje vsetko zo vsetkym :)
4. Wikifovat len prvy vyskyt slova v citate. Duplicity sa nelubia ani mne ani mojmu zamienacu :D

na viac hriechov sa nepametam --Kandy Talbot 20:59, 5. február 2007 (UTC)

mas uplnu pravdu. ale nie vzdy ju respektujem (zabudam, alebo ma to v tej chvili ked to vytvaram nenapadne). Dobre by bolo vlozit druhy bod do navodu.

nech nam je odpustene...--ham 22:43, 5. február 2007 (UTC)

Prechyľovanie ženských priezvísk

Všimol som si, že ste si po sebe opravovali (tuším Ophrah W.) a dodávalo sa -ová.

Bez urážky, zdá sa mi to strelené. Agresívne pripisovanie -ová sa rozbehlo cca pri vzniku SR a úplne zblblo slovenčinárov, korektorov, atď. Skončilo to tak, že už sa to robí kvôli tomu, že ľudia veria, že tak sa to má.

Pointou však je, že pravidlá slovenského pravopisu VŽDY umožňovali používať aj neprechýlený tvar cudzieho ženského priezviska (aj keď istý čas hovorili, že je to príspustné len u známych umelkýň).

Tak, či tak, doba pokročila a aj slovenčina sa zbavuje xenofóbie (aspoň dúfam). Zákon o matrikách (v náväznosti na zákon o priezvisku a zákon o štátnom jazyku) už hodne dlho ženám umožňuje používať (aj v úradnom styku, kde je povinnosť používať úradný jazyk...) cudzie priezvisko v neprechýlenom tvare - za predpokladu, že sú cudzej ženskej národnosti. Teda užívať znamená - mať tak napr. aj vystavené doklady.

Po novom (cca dva roky), to dokonca môžu urobiť aj Slovenky a to aj so slovenskými priezviskami (teda žena sa pokojne môže volať Elena Jánošík, hoci jej mama, babka... sa volali Jánošíková - v podstate stačí, že to chce a komunikuje s cudzinou). Odôvodnenie zmeny je celkom vtipné (odstránenie diskriminácie) - viď dôvodová správa k zákonu bod 14.

Zdá sa mi zvláštne niektorým Slovenskám nepripisovať -ová (resp. neprechyľovať), lebo jazykový zákon (teda hlavne zákon o matrikách, ale oni sa navzájom nebijú) im dáva toto právo (na užívanie neprechyľovaného priezviska) a, naopak, cudzinkám sa to tam snažiť narvať.

Niektoré cudzinky sú zavedené k -ová, takže Indira Gándiová je OK, pochybnosti mám o B. Bardotovej, ale Milla Jovovich pre mňa nikdy nemôže byť Jovovichová...

Toť môj názor - aj keď je to skôr váš problém - ja sa z piesočku slovenských politikov asi nevzdialim, čiže kým nebudem riešiť Edit Bauer/-ová, tak mi žiadna dilema nehrozí.

Prajem pekný deň.

• Ono nie je problem urobit alias a hotovo. Moj nazor: je dobre davat meno tak ako je vseobecne zauzivane. Treba sa dohodnut a urobit upravu v pravidlach. --ham 08:58, 12. január 2008 (UTC)

Logo

Myslim ze by sa nam hodilo nejake pokne, nove a hlavne originalne logo ktore by jednak zapadlo do naseho designu a jednak nebolo take osuchane ako maju vsetky ostatne jazyky. Skusme vsetci nakreslit nejake navrhy so spravnymi rozmermi! a podavajte to sem. Budeme hlasovat ;) --Neuromancer 11:04, 21 júl 2006 (UTC)

No tu to prekypuje navrhmi a logami, ze si neviem normalne vybrat :D:D --Neuromancer 08:50, 2. január 2007 (UTC)

New look

Ked tam vidim na hlavnej stranke toho Aristotela, tak ma napadlo: co tak spravit novy design hlavnej stranky a zmenit ho na taky "helenistický", antický, t¨dat po bokoch nejake anticke stlpy a cele to na taky klasicky anticky styl spravit? Je mi jasne ze si to budem muset spravit sam ked ma to napadlo, ze mi nepomozete :) ale ok. Hm? --Neuromancer 07:03, 2 august 2006 (UTC)

no ak sa ti s tym chce babrat, tak to sprav, nemuselo by to vyzerat spatne, a ak bude, tak to vratime naspat :)), a ja by som ti nepomohol moc bo neviem... --KOR 08:27, 2 august 2006 (UTC)

mam ten isty nazor ako KOR. ty si (neuro)MACHER ked mas na to tak to sprav. ja som rad ze som neakym zazrakom nasiel ako sa automaticky meni citat. a ak by sa to dalo aby to automaticky menilo skin tak to by bolo super.--ham 11:12, 2 august 2006 (UTC)

ci automaticky to neviem, ale novy skusim spravit (navrhnut)... a vyjadrite sa pls aj k predchadzajucemu --Neuromancer 13:14, 2 august 2006 (UTC)

ja som s terajsim spokojny (neviem preco ale pripomina mi to pekne lentilky :-) pestre a farebne. Takze ja som so strankou spokojny (ved som ju z velkej miery aj sam vytvaral, sice bez pomoci Neura by som si ani ...) ale nic nemam proti tomu aby sa to zmenilo. Bol by som jedine proti aby sa zrusil obsah a rozlozenie stranky (farebnost, ikonky ma vobec netrapia ak to zmenite na nieco lepsie)--193.110.186.231 14:35, 2 august 2006 (UTC)

new look nieje spatny napad... hlavne zakladne chyby ako kontras bieleho textu s modrym pozadim mi hned ako som prisiel na wikiquote udrel do oci ... ja by som bol ale za modernejsi look, ktory by som v pripade casu aj kludne navrhol a zrealizoval (aj stym novym logom) ;) --Kandy Talbot 00:39, 2. január 2007 (UTC)

ak to vies - do toho! :-) (to ze to ti buchlo do oci je len dobry znak - zaujalo ta to, ci chces alebo nie - aj zla reklama je reklamou - hoci nemyslim zeby wikicitaty mali zlu reklamu...)

Hned ako budes moct sa do toho pusti, pretoze ked sa zmeni Hlavna stranka, hned sa meni aj celkovy pohlad na web a hned sa aj inak(lepsie) pracuje atd. No aaa sprav si Hlavna_stranka_2 a tam to sprav, nie ze budes menit hned Hlavnu stranku! ;) Aj tak je zamknuta. --Neuromancer 08:48, 2. január 2007 (UTC)

Farby v článku Človek

Prosim vyjadrite sa k mojmu navrhu zmeny farieb v tomto clanku: Človek. Dakujem. --Neuromancer 13:02, 3 august 2006 (UTC)

Zaujimava zmena. Nemam nic proti, iba to co som uz pisal pri sablone ABC preco spustame novu farbu. Skor som za jednotnu farebnu skalu cize ked je uvod v modrej tak tuto modru by som pouzival ako hlavicku vo vsetkom. A este jedna drobnost asi krajsie by to vyzeralo keby okolo toho pismenka bolo o 1 - 2 px farebny okraj. neviem ci sa dobre vyjadrim ale nepaci sa mi ked pismenko hranici priamo s okrajom skor som zastanca aby pismenko alebo cokolvek bolo pekne v nutri aby malo "svoj priestor". Inac beriem ze je to iba moj subjektivny nazor. Proste sa mi to tak viac paci. Takze som za, ale som za aby to bolo jednotne cize za peknu modru farbu ktoru sme spolu tiez vyberali velmi dlhy cas, kym sme sa ujednotili, pamatas? :-) --ham 15:00, 3 august 2006 (UTC)

suhlas s hamom, vacsi stvorcek okolo pismenka, ale vzhladom, na to, ze je to riesene pozadim pismena bude asi problem... --KOR 16:18, 3 august 2006 (UTC)

to teda hej, mne sa to nebude chcieť prepisovať... a pod sablonou ako vsetci dobre vieme nebude fungovat uprava.--ham 16:41, 3 august 2006 (UTC)

Teraz rano ked som sa z toho vyspal, tak na to pozeram a hovorim si: sibalo mi? Sak ked raz nahodou budeme chciet zmenit farby na webe tak kto to bude prepisovat? To by chcelo nejaku premennu v systeme s nasou farbou a ked bude treba zmenit vsetko tak bude stacit zmenit len hodnotu premennej. Chapeme sa. Lenze kde tu premennu vytvorit? K farbe: ano modra je lepsia- uznavam- unifikacia farieb je dolezita, mne sa len pacilo na tej jemne hnedej ze je prijemnejsia. No a k tomu okraju: KOR mal pravdu, ono je to pozadie pismenka a ked je pismenko siroke ako napr.W a tenke ako I, tak maju aj pozadia rozlicnu sirku. Porozmyslam este nad tym, zatial to pls. nemazte. Davam si to do TODO. --Neuromancer 07:02, 4 august 2006 (UTC)

Nechcem aby to vyznelo nejak blbo ale ako dizajner ti odporucam vykaslat sa na podfarbickovavanie pismeniek ;) a ako programator scriptov ta prosim, nehadz do kodu zbytocny bordel ;). Objektivne vzato nieje to potrebne a mozes svoj potencial presunut do neakej inej myslienky ;) --Kandy Talbot 00:33, 2. január 2007 (UTC)

Nie, to je ok. Mas s takymito vecami viac skusenosti. Farbicky nebudu, i ked by to bolo krajsie a prehladnejsie. ;) Zatial to vyzera tak, ze kto pride na Wikiquote sa hned stava Adminom, pretoze ty (Kandy Talbot) sa nanho tiez hodis. Mal by si rozsirene pole moznosti pomenit veci k lepsiemu. --Neuromancer 08:43, 2. január 2007 (UTC)

Navigacne menu

Lidi od prvej chvyle jak som prisiel som sa cudoval ako je navigacne menu prehadzane a rozdelene voci ostatnym wiki projektom. Hoci som si uz zvykol na Posledne upravy ale dodnes hladam Portal komunity hore :/ (ja mam za navigacnym menu hodene osobne nastroje a tak je to komunita este nizsie). Nemohli by sme to dat naspat jak je zauzivane? Cize:

• Hlavná stránka
• Portál komunity
• Novinky (len ako moznost vid dalej)
• Krčma (pripadne nieco vhodnejsie vid dalej)
• Posledné úpravy
• Náhodná stránka
• Pomoc
• Donácie (alebo viac slovenske Podporte Wikicitáty)

By ma zaujimalo kto vymyslel tak primitivny nazov ako Krčma - ja viem ze to vystihuje slovakov ale treba takto?. Jak keby nieco vystizne ako Diskusia komunity obdobne Portalu komunity nestacilo. Tie Novinky maju aj Cesi aj dalsie stranky akurat my mame aj obsah vdaka Ham-ovi :D Wikicitáty:News Toz vyjadrite sa ci Vam bude vadit spravit to viac kompatibilne zo zvyskom sveta ;) --Kandy Talbot 15:36, 15. január 2007 (UTC)

Request

Hi, I am user meta:user:Walter. I respectfully request this community to consider my following request; I write a newsletter about what is going on in the Wikimedia projects in all languages. It is my hope that every community, like this one, has some people who read Wikizine. Then I can maybe receive some news from those readers about your project and in the other direction the can inform there community in your own language about the Wikimedia news possibly. I would like to ask this community to include on this page on the top and/or a relevant page a small banner for Wikizine.

If a banner is placed here on the correct page the change that someone here will think about Wikizine and report some local news will increase highly I suspect. Or that people will take a look and read the Wikimedia news. And maybe even share it locally. Here are the banners; meta:Wikizine/banners

My apologies that this is in English and the Wikizine is also in English. But there is not other way to do this. If there are questions please ask it here. I will be watching this page for two weeks from now on frequently. Greetings, --Walter 17:22, 20 júl 2006 (UTC)

• Hi, we include it on the main page. And we can put it on our user pages too- no problem ;) --Neuromancer 07:54, 21 júl 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. But I am not sure that the mainpage is a good place for this. The mainpage is the face of this wiki and is in the first place for the visitors of your wiki. Wikizine is about internal news. It is your wiki and if you leave it on the mainpage that is great. But I believe that the logical places are; this page (the village pump-page) on the top of it, this page Wikicitáty:Portál komunity and if you have an local announcement page there also.--Walter 08:42, 21 júl 2006 (UTC)

Ok, we can put it the other pages too. No problem. We support every good project. :) --Neuromancer 08:23, 1 august 2006 (UTC)

kniha - autor - slovo

Neviem, mam z toho divny pocit. Nemam nic proti tomu (ved som sam to zacal :-) ked mame autora tak k nemu priradime slova. Cize jeden citat je na dvoch miestach. KOR, myslim si ze je zbytocne vytvarat knihy (a teda 3 rovnake citaty na roznych miestach), ked to mozeme vlozit priamo do autora (samozrejme ak je viac autorov alebo autor je neznamy atd. tam s knihami problem nemam). Dobre by to bolo si ujasnit cim skor kym este tych knih nemame vela. Ako to maju ine wiki? --ham 07:07, 1 august 2006 (UTC)

asi mas pravdu (tu knihu vymaz-(kapitalizmus a slloboda))

co tak veci z knih o "realnom" svete davali na stranky autora a citaty(dialogy) z ostatnych knih na samostatne stranky (s tym, ze kniha by bola spomenuta v pozri aj, pripadne by mali spisovatelia aj sekciu bibliografia) --KOR 07:58, 1 august 2006 (UTC)

skor by som bol za to ze ked uz bude u jedneho autora vela citatov z jednej knihy nech potom sa vytvori nova stranka s knihou a na autorovej stranke odkaz na knihu a rovnako aj v knihe odkaz na autora. ale uz by som do slov nepisal aj meno aj knihu. myslim si ze staci iba autor.--ham 13:57, 1 august 2006 (UTC)

asi si nepochopil ako som to myslel, ked je to roman (nejaka fikcia), tak vlastnu stranku, ked je to kniha napr. o ekonomike, politickej situacii tak to dat do autora (a potom aplikovat, co si napisal ty, ze ked toho bude vela, tak vlastnu stranku), ale na fikciu vlastne stranky, myslel som to tak --KOR 16:03, 1 august 2006 (UTC)

niekedy to clovek pochopi az ked to uvidi. takze spokojne to urob ako myslis a uznas za vhodne.--ham 16:35, 1 august 2006 (UTC)

hmm, tak e.g. veci z pana prstenov nedavat na stranku j.r.r tolkiena ale na stranku knihy pan prstenov, a povedzme ten kapitalizmus a sloboda (ci ako sa to volalo), co pojednava o situacii vo svete (a prezentuje priamo nazory autora) tak na to nevytvarat vlastnu stranku ale dat to na stranku autora --KOR 16:51, 1 august 2006 (UTC)

Chybicka na uvodnej stranke

Na uvodnej stranke (myslim tym priamo www.wikiquote.org je slovencina umiestnena priamo vedla loga.

Žiadosť o baner pre zber 2% z daní pre wikimédiu

Ako vedúci programu PreWiki.sk žiadam komunitu Wikicitátov o zverejnenie baneru v MediaWiki:Anonnotice určeného na zber darov z 2% z daní pre naše wikimedické občianske združenie "Esperanto a Slobodné Vedomosti". Sme slovenské občianske združenie s celosvetovou pôsobnosťou, v rámci činnosti máme program "PreWiki.sk" určeného na činnosť na Slovensku. Baner by mal byť zverejnený do konca apríla.

Pomohla vám wiki? Pomôžte teraz Vy jej! Darujte 2% z dane pre wiki!

2010 Fundraising Is Almost Here

Hello Wikimedians, My name is Sam Chapman and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2010 Fundraiser. My job is to be the liaison between your community and the Foundation. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative and global effort; we recognize that banner messages which may perform well in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to international audiences.

I'm contacting you as I am currently looking for translators who are willing to contribute to this project by helping translate and localize messages into different languages and suggesting messages that would appeal to your readers on the Fundraising Meta Page. We've started the setup on meta for both banner submission, statistical analysis, and grouping volunteers together.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us, and add your feedback to the proposed messages as well! I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser. If someone could translate this message I would really appreciate it so that everyone is able to understand our goals and contribute to this year's campaign.

Call for image filter referendum

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at Meta:Image filter referendum shortly.

Sorry for delivering you a message in English. Please help translate the pages on the referendum on Meta and join the translators mailing list.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is discussing changes to its Terms of Use. The discussion can be found at Talk:Terms of use. Everyone is invited to join in. Because the new version of Terms of use is not in final form, we are not able to present official translations of it. Volunteers are welcome to translate it, as German volunteers have done at m:Terms of use/de, but we ask that you note at the top that the translation is unofficial and may become outdated as the English version is changed.

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

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

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

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

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

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 16:33, 15. január 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki 1.19

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

Update on IPv6

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

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

What this means for your project:

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

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

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

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

2011 Picture of the Year competition

македонски • norsk • polski

Dear Wikimedians,

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

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

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

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

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

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

See you on Commons! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 18:38, 5. jún 2012 (UTC)

Mobile view as default view coming soon

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

The mobile view of this project and others will soon become the default view on mobile devices (except tablets). Some language versions of these projects currently show no content on the mobile home page, and it is a good time to do a little formatting so users get a mobile-friendly view, or to add to existing mobile content if some already exists.

If you are an administrator, please consider helping with this change. There are instructions which are being translated. The proposed date of switching the default view is July 5.

To contact the mobile team, email mobile-feedback-llists.wikimedia.org.

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

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

Hi,

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

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

Request for Comment: Legal Fees Assistance Program

I apologize for addressing you in English. I would be grateful if you could translate this message into your language.

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a request for comment on a proposed program that could provide legal assistance to users in specific support roles who are named in a legal complaint as a defendant because of those roles. We wanted to be sure that your community was aware of this discussion and would have a chance to participate in that discussion.

If this page is not the best place to publicize this request for comment, please help spread the word to those who may be interested in participating. (If you'd like to help translating the "request for comment", program policy or other pages into your language and don't know how the translation system works, please come by my user talk page at m:User talk:Mdennis (WMF). I'll be happy to assist or to connect you with a volunteer who can assist.)

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

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

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

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

Thanks!

Be a Wikimedia fundraising "User Experience" volunteer!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered last year on the Wikimedia fundraising 'User Experience' project. We have talked to many different people in different countries and their feedback has helped us immensely in restructuring our pages. If you haven't heard of it yet, the 'User Experience' project has the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries (outside the USA) and enhancing the localization of our donation pages.

I am (still) searching for volunteers to spend some time on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

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

Wikimedia sites to move to primary data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Read-only mode expected.

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) Next week, the Wikimedia Foundation will transition its main technical operations to a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. This is intended to improve the technical performance and reliability of all Wikimedia sites, including this wiki. There will be some times when the site will be in read-only mode, and there may be full outages; the current target windows for the migration are January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2013, from 17:00 to 01:00 UTC (see other timezones on timeanddate.com). More information is available in the full announcement.

If you would like to stay informed of future technical upgrades, consider becoming a Tech ambassador and joining the ambassadors mailing list. You will be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

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

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

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

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

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

Hello!

There is a new request for comment on Meta-Wiki concerning the removal of administrative rights from long-term inactive Wikimedians. Generally, this proposal from stewards would apply to wikis without an administrators' review process.

We are also compiling a list of projects with procedures for removing inactive administrators on the talk page of the request for comment. Feel free to add your project(s) to the list if you have a policy on administrator inactivity.

All input is appreciated. The discussion may close as soon as 21 May 2013 (2013-05-21), but this will be extended if needed.

[en] Change to wiki account system and account renaming

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

(Distributed via global message delivery 04:08, 30. apríl 2013 (UTC). Wrong page? Correct it here.)

[en] Change to section edit links

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

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

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

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

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

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

Pywikipedia is migrating to git

Hello, Sorry for English but It's very important for bot operators so I hope someone translates this. Pywikipedia is migrating to Git so after July 26, SVN checkouts won't be updated If you're using Pywikipedia you have to switch to git, otherwise you will use out-dated framework and your bot might not work properly. There is a manual for doing that and a blog post explaining about this change in non-technical language. If you have question feel free to ask in mw:Manual talk:Pywikipediabot/Gerrit, mailing list, or in the IRC channel. Best Amir (via Global message delivery). 13:45, 23. júl 2013 (UTC)

HTTPS for users with an account

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

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

Request for consultation on community logo

Request for consultation on this community logo

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

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

Notifications

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

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

Greetings!

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

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

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

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

• Checklist

Please let us know if you have any questions, suggestions or comments about this new tool. For more information, visit this project hub and this help page. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19:12, 4. október 2013 (UTC)

Speak up about the trademark registration of the Community logo.

Hi all,

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

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

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

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

Thanks, Geoff & Yana 20:50, 8. október 2013 (UTC)

Introducting Beta Features

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

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

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

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

Here are the first features you can test this week:

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

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

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

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

Enjoy, and don't forget to let developers know what you think! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:37, 5. november 2013 (UTC)

Call for comments on draft trademark policy

Hi all,

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

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

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

Thanks,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Please join this RfC -- and share your advice.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Call for project ideas: funding is available for community experiments

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

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

Examples of past Individual Engagement Grant projects:

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

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

Hope to have your participation,

Language links (interwiki) via Wikidata are coming

Hey everyone :)

I just wanted to let you know that Wikiquote will be the next sister project to be supported by Wikidata. Initially you will be able to maintain the links between the language editions of Wikiquote on Wikidata. This means you will no longer have to maintain them in the wiki text of each article. (However you will still be able to if you want to and local links will overwrite the ones from Wikidata in that case.) We plan to enable this on April 8th for you. At a later point (depending on how this initial roll-out goes) you will also get access to the other data on Wikidata like the date of birth of a scientist for example.

If you have any questions please come to d:Wikidata:Wikiquote where we'll try to answer all of them. If you're already familiar with Wikidata and want to act as an ambassador please add your name to the list there to help people find you.

I'm looking forward to welcoming you all to Wikidata.

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

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

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

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

Interwiki links via Wikidata are here!

(Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this for me where needed.)

Hi everyone,

As previously announced we have just enabled the first part of Wikidata support. This means from now on you can maintain your interwiki links on Wikidata and no longer need to keep them in the wikitext locally. The local links will continue to work and overwrite what is coming from Wikidata. A community member is currently running a bot to take care of the migration where possible so you don't have to do it by hand in most cases.

You can not yet access the other data on Wikidata like the date of birth of a person. This will come in the near future. I will let you know when I have a date for it.

If you have any questions please come to d:Wikidata:Wikiquote. There we have a bunch of helpful people to answer them.

Welcome to the Wikidata family! I'm excited about this first step. More to come. I am looking forward to seeing how this will help you make Wikiquote even better in the future.

Wikidata Phase 2 for Wikiquote

Hey,

(Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this for me where necessary.)

Not long ago we enabled language links via Wikidata for Wikiquote. This seems to have gone rather smoothly. Thanks to everyone who helped! But as you know this was only the start. What is actually more interesting is access to the data in Wikidata. We have planned this for June 10th (unless any issues arise). You will then be able to use the data in your articles. I hope this will open up a lot of new opportunities for you.

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

Hello! It was noted that on this wiki you have less than 10 local files. Presumably, you therefore don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. However, this means that users here will experience a mostly broken and/or illegal uploading. I propose to

• have local upload restricted to the "Správcovia" group (for emergency uploads) and
• the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,

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

I'll get this done in one week from now.

1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list.
2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

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

Media Viewer is now live on this wiki

Media Viewer lets you see images in larger size

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

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

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

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

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

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

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

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

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

Change in renaming process

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks and regards, Ajraddatz (talk) 18:04, 26. október 2014 (UTC)

Global AbuseFilter

Hello,

AbuseFilter is a MediaWiki extension used to detect likely abusive behavior patterns, like pattern vandalism and spam. In 2013, Global AbuseFilters were enabled on a limited set of wikis including Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies and (in early 2014) all the "small wikis". Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "medium sized wikis" as well. These filters are currently managed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and have shown to be very effective in preventing mass spam attacks across Wikimedia projects. However, there is currently no policy on how the global AbuseFilters will be managed although there are proposals. There is an ongoing request for comment on policy governing the use of the global AbuseFilters. In the meantime, specific wikis can opt out of using the global AbuseFilter. These wikis can simply add a request to this list on Meta-Wiki. More details can be found on this page at Meta-Wiki. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter.

Thanks,

PiRSquared17, Glaisher

VisualEditor coming to this wiki as a Beta Feature

Hello. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you translated this message!

VisualEditor, a rich-text editor for MediaWiki, will soon be available on this wiki as a Beta Feature. The estimated date of activation is Wednesday, 26 November.

To access it, you will need to visit the Beta funkcie page after the deployment and tick the box next to "Vizuálna úprava". (If you have enabled the "Automaticky zapnúť všetky nové beta funkcie" option, VisualEditor will be automatically available for you.) There will also be a "⧼Visualeditor-preference-language-label⧽" that you can enable if you need it.

Then, you just have to click on "Upraviť" to start VisualEditor, or on "Upraviť zdroj" to edit using wikitext markup. You can even begin to edit pages with VisualEditor and then switch to the wikitext editor simply by clicking on its tab at any point, and you can keep your changes when doing so.

A guide was just published at mediawiki.org so that you can learn how to support your community with this transition: please read and translate it if you can! You will find all the information about the next steps there. Please report any suggestions or issues at the main feedback page. You will also receive the next issues of the multilingual monthly newsletter here on this page: if you want it delivered elsewhere, for example at your personal talk page, please add the relevant page here.

Thanks for your attention and happy editing, Elitre (WMF) 18:12, 21. november 2014 (UTC)

VisualEditor News #10—2014

Did you know?

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

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

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on table editing and performance. Their weekly status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.

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

Recent improvements

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

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

You can now create and edit simple <blockquote> paragraphs for quoting and indenting content. This changes a "Odsek" into a "Blokový citát".

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

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

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

You can again create and edit galleries as wikitext code.

Looking ahead

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

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

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

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
• Translations of the user guide for most languages are outdated. Only Ukrainian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Dutch translations are nearly current. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language.
• Talk to the Editing team during the office hours via IRC. The next session is on Wednesday, 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC.
• File requests for language-appropriate "Tučný text" and "Kurzíva" icons for the character formatting menu in Phabricator.
• The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.

VisualEditor News #1—2015

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

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

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

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

Looking ahead

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

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

Let's work together

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

Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content

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

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

Stewards confirmation rules

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep. As this is an issue that affects all WMF wikis, I'm sending this notification to let people know & be able to participate. Best regards, --MF-W 16:12, 10. apríl 2015 (UTC)

VisualEditor News #2—2015

Did you know?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Looking ahead

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

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

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections

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

Greetings,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming

(Sorry for writing in English)

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

• 11 June 2015: all Wikiquote, all remaining Wikivoyage
• 15 June 2015: Wikipedias: ar, ca, es, hu, ko, ro, uk, vi

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

How to use it, once it is enabled:

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

I hope it will be helpful for you and allow you to do useful things with the help of Wikidata.

VisualEditor News #3—2015

Did you know?

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

The link tool has been re-designed:

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

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

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

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

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

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
• The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Wednesday at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC).

Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the VisualEditor Q4 blocker project with the bug.
• If your Wikivoyage, Wikibooks, Wikiversity, or other community wants to have VisualEditor made available by default to contributors, then please contact James Forrester.
• If you would like to request the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.

HTTPS

Apologies for writing in English.

Hi everyone.

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

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

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

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.

How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

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

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (diskusia) 09:44, 24. júl 2015 (UTC)

What does a Healthy Community look like to you?

Hi,
The Community Engagement department at the Wikimedia Foundation has launched a new learning campaign. The WMF wants to record community impressions about what makes a healthy online community. Share your views and/or create a drawing and take a chance to win a Wikimania 2016 scholarship! Join the WMF as we begin a conversation about Community Health.

VisualEditor News #4—2015

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

Did you know?

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

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

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

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

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

Wikimania

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

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

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

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

Future changes

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

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

Let's work together

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

VisualEditor News #5—2015

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

Did you know?

You can use the visual editor on smartphones and tablets.

Click the pencil icon to open the editor for a page. Inside that, use the gear menu in the upper right corner to "Prepnúť na vizuálne editovanie".

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

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

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

Recent improvements

Educational features: The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the Odkaz and ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽ tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (T108620) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (T112354) More in-software educational features are planned.

Links: It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (T74108, T91285) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (T109498, T110347, T63558) These "magic links" use a custom link editing tool.

Uploads: Registered editors can now upload images and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "Vložiť Obrázky a multimédiá" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.

Mobile: Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (T85630) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (T111894) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "Odstrániť" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (T62110) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.

Rich editing tools: You can now add and edit sheet music in the visual editor. (T112925) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (T114227, T113354) When editing formulæ and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of graphs; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.

On the English Wikipedia, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under Special:Preferences.

Future changes

You will soon be able to switch from the wikitext to the visual editor after you start editing. (T49779) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a single edit tab. (T102398) This project will combine the "Upraviť" and "Upraviť zdroj" tabs into a single "Upraviť" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Upraviť" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page uses Flow for discussions.
• Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).
• Local admins can set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki. If you need help, then please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
• The weekly task triage meetings are open to volunteers. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

Community Wishlist Survey

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

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

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

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

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

We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed

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

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

Your input requested on the proposed #FreeBassel banner campaign

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

Hi everyone,

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for your participation!

Get involved in Wikipedia 15!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

VisualEditor News #6—2015

Did you know?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Recent improvements

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

Future changes

The single edit tab project will combine the "Upraviť" and "Upraviť zdroj" tabs into a single "Upraviť" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398, T58337) Initially, the "Upraviť" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the Úpravy tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Režim úprav:".

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016: Amharic, Buginese, Min Dong, Cree, Manx, Hakka, Armenian, Georgian, Pontic, Serbo-Croatian, Tigrinya, Mingrelian, Zhuang, and Min Nan. (T116523) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.

In 2016, the feedback pages for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. (T92661)

Testing opportunities

• Please try the new system for the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences. Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at the feedback topic on mediawiki.org or sign up for formal user research (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
  • Zapamätať naposledy použitý editor,
  • Vždy použiť vizuálny editor, ak je to možné,
  • Vždy použiť editor zdrojového kódu, and
  • Zobraziť záložky pre oba editory. (This is the current state for people already using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
• Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).

2016 WMF Strategy consultation

Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka

Hello, all.

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

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

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

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

I hope you'll join us! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery (diskusia) 19:06, 18. január 2016 (UTC)

Server switch 2016

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its newest data center in Dallas. This will make sure Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic to the new data center on Tuesday, 19 April.
On Thursday, 21 April, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for approximately 15 to 30 minutes on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).

If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped.

Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.

• There will be a code freeze for the week of 18 April.

No non-essential code deployments will take place.

This test was originally planned to take place on March 22. April 19th and 21st are the new dates. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. They will post any changes on that schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:08, 17. apríl 2016 (UTC)

JavaScript

Hi. I can see that this project has old JavaScript that needs to be updated. I would happily make the required updates myself, but I would have to – at least temporarily – become an admin here to do that (because the relevant pages are in the MediaWiki namespace). I have already made these updates on a number of other projects, so it would be very easy for me to do this. If no one does anything, some JavaScript-related tools will break later this year. If you want me to make these updates, you can grant me admin rights and I will make the updates as soon as I can. Nirmos (diskusia) 16:28, 6. jún 2016 (UTC)

Compact Links coming soon to this wiki

Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki, which you may already seen in the latest issue of Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the coming week for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you.

Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today

Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.

From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages

The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you.

Editing News #2—2016

Did you know?

It's quick and easy to insert a references list.

Place the cursor where you want to display the references list (usually at the bottom of the page). Open the "Vložiť" menu and click the "Zoznam referencií" icon (three books).

If you are using several groups of references, which is relatively rare, you will have the opportunity to specify the group. If you do that, then only the references that belong to the specified group will be displayed in this list of references. Finally, click "Vložiť" in the dialog to insert the Zoznam referencií. This list will change as you add more footnotes to the page.

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

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.

Recent changes

The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.

The single edit tab feature combines the "Upraviť" and "Upraviť zdroj" tabs into a single "Upraviť" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Úpravy" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.

Future changes

The "Uložiť stránku" button will say "Publikovať stránku". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.

The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966)

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

Let's work together

• Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.
• Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Watch the Tech Talk by Sebastian Karcher for more information.

If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Ďakujeme

Save/Publish

The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Uložiť stránku” button to “Publikovať stránku” and “Publikovať zmeny”. “Publikovať stránku” will be used when you create a new page. “Publikovať zmeny” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[17][18]

This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.

If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for “Publikovať stránku” and “Publikovať zmeny”.

The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that “Uložiť stránku” would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “Uložiť stránku” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem.

Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise.

Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes {{int:Publishpage}} and {{int:Publishchanges}} to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in your account preferences, these wikitext codes produce “Publikovať stránku” and “Publikovať zmeny”.

Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.

RevisionSlider

From September 13th on, RevisionSlider will be available as a beta feature in your wiki. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page, so that you can easily move between revisions. The feature fulfills a wish from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well in your work!
