Tech News: 2021-29

Wikimedia-yhteisön uusimmat tech-uutiset. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty toisille kielille.

Tuoreet muutokset

• Työkalu mallineiden etsimiselle, lisäämiselle ja poistamiselle päivitettiin. Tämä helpottaa oikeiden mallineiden löytämistä ja niiden käyttöä. Sen oli tarkoitus tulla ensimmäisiin wikeihin 7. heinäkuuta, mutta se viivästyi 12. heinäkuuhun. Se tulee useimmille wikeille myöhemmin tänä vuonna. [1][2]
• Special:UnconnectedPages listaa sivut, joita ei ole yhdistetty Wikidataan. Se auttaa löytämään sivuja, joita ei ole vielä Wikidatassa. Kuitenkaan kaikkia sivuja ei pitäisi yhdistää Wikidataan. Sen vuoksi sivuihin, joiden ei pitäisi näkyä tällä sivulla voi lisätä taikasanan __EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. [3]

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

• MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 20. heinäkuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 21. heinäkuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 22. heinäkuuta (kalenteri).

Tulevia muutoksia

• How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will soon change. This can affect bots, gadgets, user scripts and extensions. You can read more. You can test it on Testwiki or Testwiki 2.
• The parameters for how you obtain tokens in the MediaWiki API were changed in 2014. The old way will no longer work from 1 September. Scripts, bots and tools that use the parameters from before the 2014 change need to be updated. You can read more.

Tech News: 2021-31

Viimeisimmät tekniikkauutiset Wikimedian tekniseltä yhteisöltä. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty myös toisille kielille.

Tuoreet muutokset

• Jos wikisi käyttää merkintöjä kuten <div class="mw-content-ltr"> tai <div class="mw-content-rtl"> ilman tarvittavaa dir-määrettä, ne eivät enää toimi kahden viikon päästä. Tähän on väliaikainen korjaus, joka voidaan lisätä wikisi Common.css-sivulle, ja se selitetään täällä: T287701. Jatkossa kaikissa merkintöjen käytöissä pitää olla kokonaiset määreet, esimerkiksi: <div class="mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr" lang="en"> tai <div class="mw-content-rtl" dir="rtl" lang="he">. Tämä koskee myös joitakin HTML-tageja, kuten span tai code. Voit löytää korjattavia esimerkkejä wikistäsi käyttämällä näitä ohjeita: T287701.
• Muistutus: Wikimedia on siirtynyt Libera Chat IRC-verkkoon vanhasta Freenodesta. Paikalliset ohjeet pitäisi päivittää.

Ongelmat

• Viime viikolla kaikki wikit toimivat hitaasti tai eivät ollenkaan 30 minuutin ajan. Venäjänkielisissä Wikiuutisissa oli ongelma dynaamisten artikkelilistojen generoimisessa, koska yli 200 000 artikkelia importattiin sinne kolmessa päivässä, ja tämä aiheutti ongelmia tietokannassa. Ongelmallinen toiminto on otettu pois käytöstä kaikissa wikieissä, ja kehittäjät miettivät onko se mahdollista korjata. [5][6]

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

• Kun linkkejä lisätään sivulle käyttämällä Visuaalista muokkainta tai 2017 wikiteksti-muokkainta, täsmennyssivut näkyvät nyt ainoastaan hakutulosten alaosassa. Tämä tehdään siksi, että käyttäjät harvoin haluavat linkittää täsmennyssivuille. [7]
• MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 3. elokuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 4. elokuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 5. elokuuta (kalenteri).

Tulevia muutoksia

• Wikipedian Android-sovellusta tekevä tiimi on työstämässä kommunikaatiota sovellukseen. Kehittäjät ovat tekemässä sovellukseen mahdollisuutta keskustella toisten muokkaajien kanssa ja ottaa vastaan ilmoituksia. Voit lukea lisää. He hakevat käyttäjiä, jotka haluavat testata suunnitelmia. Kuka tahansa muokkaaja, jolla on Android-puhelin ja joka on halukas lataamaan sovelluksen, voi ottaa osaa.
• Keskustelutyökalut beta-toiminto päivitetään tulevilla viikoilla. Pystyt tilaamaan keskustelusivujen yksittäisiä osioita useammissa wikeissä. Voit testata sitä lisäämällä ?dtenable=1 keskustelusivun osoitteen loppuun (esimerkki).

[please test] Growth team features

Hello! Sorry to use English. Auta kääntämisessä kielellesi.

I'm Trizek (WMF). I work as a community relations specialist for the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm here to share a message from the Growth team.

As you may already know, the Growth team's goal is to create features that would help newcomers. Our goal is to help newcomers when they edit for the first time and also to increase the retention of new editors. Several wikis already have these features since a long time now. Working with these wikis, the Growth team found evidence of the efficiency of these new features.

These features will be available for all new accounts on your Wikipedia starting on the week of August 23, 2021. This way your Wikipedia will offer more options for newcomers to make good first edits and become community members.

Which features?

The newcomer homepage (here on Portuguese Wikipedia, displayed in English)

We have created several features to help them, and also to help community members who help them :

• Newcomer homepage: a new special page, the best place for a newcomer to get started. Please visit it at Special:Homepage It includes:
  • Newcomer tasks: a feed of task suggestions that help newcomers learn to edit. Newcomers have been making productive edits through this feed! Know more about this tool.
  • Mentorship module [optional]: each newcomers has a direct link to an experienced user (see below). This way, they can ask questions about editing Wikipedia, less the need to find where to ask for assistance.
  • Impact module: the user sees how many pages views articles they edit received. Have a look at Special:Impact for yours!
• Help panel: a platform to provide resources to newcomers while they are editing. If they do some suggested tasks, they are guided step-by-step on the process of editing.
• Welcome Survey: communities can know why newcomers create an account on Wikipedia. You can see it at Special:WelcomeSurvey.

The features available right now in your preferences (here and there) so that you can try them. They are not yet visible to newcomers.

How to help?

First, we need help to translate the features. At the moment, most of the messages newcomers will see on your Wikipedia are in English, some of them have been translated using machine translation. Please help translate the interface (done on translatewiki.net. It needs a specific account).

Also, I need your help checking on the configuration the team setups as default. Please try the features and let us know if something questions you.

Newcomers tasks are based on templates to suggest edits to newcomers. You can check the templates used on MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json. You can also change the templates and the help links defined there. Several templates can be added for the same task.

It you are familiar with Phabricator, here is the ticket about this deployment. Please find your wiki in the list to access all the information we used for the deployment. Please have a look at it. You can suggest changes by replying to this message.

If you wish to, you can create a list of mentors. This will activate the optional Mentorship module. Please format the list following the guidance. You need at least one mentor for each 500 new accounts created monthly on your wiki (3 mentors minimum). Are you hesitant to become a mentor? Please check the resources we have written based on other mentors' experiences. Please tell us if you are interested by creating a mentor list!

Let me know if you have any question about this deployment, please ping me! Of course, if this message is not at the right place, please move or share it (and let me know).

All the best, Trizek (WMF), 4. elokuuta 2021 kello 18.33 (EEST)

Wikimedia-yhteisön uusimmat tech-uutiset. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty myös toisille kielille.

Ongelmat

• Voit lukea, mutta et muokata 17 wikiä 10. elokuuta muutaman minuutin ajan. Tämän on suunniteltu tapahtuvan klo 05.00 (UTC). Tämä johtuu tietokantatyöstä. [9]

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

• Wikimania Hackathon pidetään etänä 13. elokuuta alkaen kello 5:00 UTC, ja se kestää 24 tuntia. Voit osallistua monella tavalla. Voit edelleen ehdottaa projekteja ja sessioita.
• MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 10. elokuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 11. elokuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 12. elokuuta (kalenteri).
• Vanhaa CSS-muotoa <div class="visualClear"></div> ei enää tueta 12. elokuuta alkaen. Sen sijaan mallineiden ja sivujen tulee käyttää muotoa <div style="clear:both;"></div>. Voit auttaa korvaamalla nykyisiä esiintymiä omassa wikissäsi. Löydät järjestelmänlaajuisia hakulinkkejä täältä:T287962.

Tulevia muutoksia

• The Wikipedia Library is a place for Wikipedia editors to get access to sources. There is an extension which has a new function to tell users when they can take part in it. It will use notifications. It will start pinging the first users in September. It will ping more users later. [10]
• Vue.js toimii tulevaisuudessa MediaWikin JavaScript-ympäristönä. [11]

Wikimedia-yhteisön uusimmat tech-uutiset. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty myös toisille kielille.

Tuoreet muutokset

• You can add language links in the sidebar in the new Vector skin again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet. [12]

Ongelmat

• Wikeissä, jotka käyttävät Translate-laajennosta oli ongelma. Käännökset eivät päivittyneet tai korvattiin englanninkielisellä tekstillä. Ongelmat on korjattu. [13][14][15]

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

• A revision tag will soon be added to edits that add links to disambiguation pages. This is because these links are usually added by accident. The tag will allow editors to easily find the broken links and fix them. If your wiki does not like this feature, it can be hidden. [16]
• Would you like to help improve the information about tools? Would you like to attend or help organize a small virtual meetup for your community to discuss the list of tools? Please get in touch on the Toolhub Quality Signal Sessions talk page. We are also looking for feedback from tool maintainers on some specific questions.
• In the past, edits to any page in your user talk space ignored your mute list, e.g. sub-pages. Starting this week, this is only true for edits to your talk page. [17]
• MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 17. elokuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 18. elokuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 19. elokuuta (kalenteri).

Tuoreet muutokset

• The Score extension (<score> notation) has been re-enabled on public wikis and upgraded to a newer version. Some musical score functionality may no longer work because the extension is only enabled in "safe mode". The security issue has been fixed and an advisory published.

Ongelmat

• Voit lukea, mutta et muokata joitakin wikejä muutaman minuutin ajan 25. elokuuta. Tämä tapahtuu noin klo 9.00 Suomen aikaa. Tämä johtuu tietokantahuollosta. Tänä aikana CentralAuth-toimenpiteet eivät ole mahdollisia.
