From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateData|TemplateData]] and will then be shown as a drop-down list in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User guide|VisualEditor]]. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones. |

VisualEditor News #5—2015
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Did you know?
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 Link 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 "Indsæt Billeder og medier" 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 "Slet" 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 "Redigér" and "Rediger kildekode" tabs into a single "Redigér" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Redigér" 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.

Harassment consultation
Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog
The Community Advocacy team the Wikimedia Foundation has opened a consultation on the topic of harassment on Meta. The consultation period is intended to run for one month from today, November 16, and end on December 17. Please share your thoughts there on harassment-related issues facing our communities and potential solutions. (Note: this consultation is not intended to evaluate specific cases of harassment, but rather to discuss the problem of harassment itself.)
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!

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!

Password strength RFC
Hej,
Vi har indledt en RFC på meta om at øge adgangskravene for brugere, som har konti, hvorfra de kan redigere i MediaWiki:Common.js, som har adgang til checkuser, eller som har adgang til Oversight.
Disse typer af konti er følsomme, hvad angår adgang til vore netsteder. og kan forårsage virkelig skade, hvis de falder i ondsindede hænder. For tiden er det eneste krav, at kodeordet er mindst 1 bogstav langt. Vi vil gerne ændre det til et minimum på 8 bogstaver (bytes) og samtidig forbyde nogle virkeligt almindelige kodeord.
Ved at forøge kravene til kodeord for konti med adgang på højt niveau håber vi at gøre wikimedias wiki'er mere sikre for alle. Læs venligst hele forslagsteksten her, og giv din mening til kende på denne RFC
Tak,
(på vegne af WMF sikkerhedsgruppe) BWolff (WMF) (talk) 21. dec 2015, 07:12 (UTC)

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 "Redigér" and "Rediger kildekode" tabs into a single "Redigér" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398, T58337) Initially, the "Redigér" 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 Redigering tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Redigeringstilstand:".
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:
- Remember my last editor,
- Always give me the visual editor if possible,
- Always give me the source editor, and
- Vis mig begge redigeringsfaneblade. (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
- Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog
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 (diskussion) 18. jan 2016, 19:06 (UTC)

Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.
Recent changes
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.
Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.
The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.
Future changes
The single edit tab project will combine the "Redigér" and "Rediger kildekode" tabs into a single "Redigér" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398) Initially, the "Redigér" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Redigering tab of Special:Preferences:
- Remember my last editor,
- Always give me the visual editor if possible,
- Always give me the source editor, and
- Vis mig begge redigeringsfaneblade. (This is the state for people using the visual editor now.)
The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. This will affect the following languages, amongst others: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic.
Let's work together
- Please try out the newest version of the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You may need to restore the default preferences (at the bottom of test2wiki:Special:Preferences) to see the initial prompt for options. Were you able to find a preference setting that will work for your own editing? Did you see the large preferences dialog box when you started editing an article there?
- Can you read and type in Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Indic, or Han scripts? Does typing in these languages feels natural in the visual editor? Language engineer David Chan needs to know. Please see the instructions at mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test if you can help. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org.
- Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Join the Tech Talk about "Automated citations in Wikipedia: Citoid and the technology behind it" with Sebastian Karcher on 29 February 2016.

Går inte att redigera två gånger den här veckan
Wikimedia Foundation tester sit nyeste datacenter i Dallas. Dette vil sikre, at Wikipedia og de øvrige Wikimedia-wikier fortsat vil fungere, også selvom der skulle indtræffe en katastrofe. For at forsikre sig om, at alt virker, er det nødvendigt for Wikimedias teknologiafdeling at gennemføre en planlagt test. Denne test vil vise, om de er i stand til at foretage et pålideligt skift fra ét datacenter til det andet. Det kræver mange grupper at forberede testen og at være klar til at rette eventuelle uforudsete problemer.
De vil flytte al trafik til det nye datacenter tirsdag 19. april.
Torsdag 21. april vil de skifte tilbage til det primære datacenter.
På grund af nogle begrænsninger i MediaWiki må al redigering desværre stoppe under de to flytninger. Vi undskylder for denne forstyrrelse, og vi arbejder på at minimere den slags fremover.
Du vil stadig have mulighed for at læse, men ikke redigere, alle wikier i en begrænset periode.
- Du vil ikke kunne redigere i et sted mellem 15 og 30 minutter, henholdsvis tirsdag 19. april og torsdag 21. april, med start kl. 14.00 UTC (kl. 16.00 CEST (dansk tid), kl. 10.00 EDT, kl. 7.00 PDT).
- Hvis du forsøger at redigere eller gemme rettelser i disse to perioder, vil du få en fejlmeddelelse. Vi håber, at der ikke vil gå nogle redigeringer tabt i løbet af disse minutter, men vi kan ikke garantere det. Hvis du får en sådan fejlmeddelelse, beder vi dig om at vente, til situationen er tilbage til den normale igen. Derpå skulle du være i stand til at gemme din redigering. For en sikkerheds skyld anbefaler vi dog, at du tager en kopi af dine ændringer først. /Johan (WMF) (diskussion) 17. apr 2016, 21:36 (UTC)

Compact Links coming soon to this wiki
Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog
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.

Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today
Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog
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).

Editing News #2—2016

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 "Redigér" and "Rediger kildekode" tabs into a single "Redigér" 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 "Redigering" 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 "Gem side" button will say "Offentliggør side". 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.

Save/Publish
The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Gem side” button to “Offentliggør side” and “Offentliggør ændringer”. “Offentliggør side” will be used when you create a new page. “Offentliggør ændringer” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[1][2]
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 “Offentliggør side” and “Offentliggør ændringer”.
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 “Gem side” 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 “Gem side” 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 “Offentliggør side” and “Offentliggør ændringer”.
Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.

Siden det sidste nyhedsbrev har VisualEditor-teamet primært arbejdet på en ny wikitext-editor. De har også udgivet nogle nye funktioner og det nye kortredigerings-værktøj. Deres arbejdstavle er tilgængelig gennem Phabricator-værktøjet. Du kan se en liste over hvilke opgaver der er blevet løst hver uge på siden mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Deres nuværende prioriteter er at reparere fejl, udgivelsen af den nye wikitext-editor som betafunktion, og videreudvikling af sprogunderstøttelse.
Nyeste ændringer
- Du kan nu gøre tekst lille eller stor.[3]
- Unsynlige skabeloner har indtil nu været vist som et puslespilsbrik-symbol. Nu vil navnet på den usynlige skabelon være vist ved siden af puslespilsbrik-symbolet.[4] En lignende funktion vil vise den første del af skjulte HTML-kommentarer.[5]
- Kategorier bliver vist i bunden af hver side. Hvis du klikker på kategorierne åbner en dialogboks hvor du kan redigere kategorierne.[6]
- På mange wikier kan du nu tilføje kort til sider. Gå til "Indsæt"-menuen og vælg "kort". Discovery-afdelingen er igang med at tilføje flere valgmuligheder til denne funtkion (f.eks. geoshapes). Du kan læse mere på mediawiki.org[7]
- "Gem"-knappen hedder nu "Gem side" når du opretter en ny side og "Gem ændringer" når du ændrer en eksisterende side.[8] I fremtiden vil "Gem side"-knappen hedde "Offentliggør side" i stedet for. Dette vil påvirke både den visuelle editor og wikitext-editoren. Der er mere information tilgængeligt på Meta-wiki.
- Billedgallerier kan nu redigeres visuelt. Du kan se små versioner af billederne, tilføje nye filer, fjerne uønskede billeder, skifte rækkefølgen af billederne ved at klikke og trække og tilføje billedtekster til hvert billede. Brug "Options"-fanen til at ændre måden billederne bliver vist på samt deres størrelse, og tilføj en titel til galleriet.[9]
Fremtidige ændringer
Den visuelle editor vil blive gjort tilgængelige på de resterende 10 "Fase 6" Wikipedia-sider i løbet af den kommende måned. Udviklerne vil gerne vide om det føles naturligt at skrive på dit eget sprog i den visuelle editor. Skriv eventuelle kommentarer, samt de sprog du har testet, på feedback-siden. Dette vil påvirke flere sprog, blandt andet Thai, Burmesisk og Aramæisk
Vi er i gang med en moderne wikitext-editor. Denne "2017"-editor vil ligne den visuelle editor og være i stand til at bruge Citoid og andre moderne værktøjer. Dette nye redigerings-værktøj vil muligvis være tilgængeligt som beta-funktion på computerversionen af Wikipedia i oktober måned. Du kan læse mere om dette projekt i Wikimedias nyhedsbrev.
Lad os arbejde sammen
- Lærer du nye bidragsydere hvordan man bruger den visuelle editor? Hjalp du med at installere Citoid's automatiske referencefunktion på din wiki? Har du skrevet eller importeret TemplateData til din wikis vigtigste kildeskabeloner? Ville du være villig til at hjælpe nye bidragsydere og mindre fællesskaber med den visuelle editor? Tilmeld dig den nye "VisualEditor Community Taskforce".
- Hvis dette nyhedsbrev ikke er skrevet på dit foretrukne sprog, så hjælp us med at oversætte! Abonner på oversætternes mailing-liste eller kontakt os direkte så vi kan give dig besked når den næste udgave er klar. Tak!

We are having a problem with attackers taking over wiki accounts with privileged user rights (for example, admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, checkusers). It appears that this may be because of weak or reused passwords.
Community members are working along with members of multiple teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address this issue.
In the meantime, we ask that everyone takes a look at the passwords they have chosen for their wiki accounts. If you know that you've chosen a weak password, or if you've chosen a password that you are using somewhere else, please change those passwords.
Select strong passwords – eight or more characters long, and containing letters, numbers, and punctuation. Joe Sutherland (diskussion) / MediaWiki message delivery (diskussion) 14. nov 2016, 00:00 (UTC)

New way to edit wikitext
Summary: There's a new opt-in Beta Feature of a wikitext mode for the visual editor. Please go try it out.
We in the Wikimedia Foundation's Editing department are responsible for making editing better for all our editors, new and experienced alike. We've been slowly improving the visual editor based on feedback, user tests, and feature requests. However, that doesn't work for all our user needs: whether you need to edit a wikitext talk page, create a template, or fix some broken reference syntax, sometimes you need to use wikitext, and many experienced editors prefer it.
Consequently, we've planned a "wikitext mode" for the visual editor for a long time. It provides as much of the visual editor's features as possible, for those times that you need or want wikitext. It has the same user interface as the visual editor, including the same toolbar across the top with the same buttons. It provides access to the citoid service for formatting citations, integrated search options for inserting images, and the ability to add new templates in a simple dialog. Like in the visual editor, if you paste in formatted text copied from another page, then formatting (such as bolding) will automatically be converted into wikitext.
All wikis now have access to this mode as a Beta Feature. When enabled, it replaces your existing wikitext editor everywhere. If you don't like it, you can reverse this at any time by turning off the Beta Feature in your preferences. We don't want to surprise anyone, so it's strictly an opt-in-only Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "Aktivér automatisk de fleste betafunktioner".
The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the current wikitext editor). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and vice versa), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work with both editors. We're not planning to get rid of the current main wikitext editor on desktop in the foreseeable future. We're also not going to remove the existing ability to edit plain wikitext without JavaScript. Finally, though it should go without saying, if you prefer to continue using the current wikitext editor, then you may so do.
This is an early version, and we'd love to know what you think so we can make it better. Please leave feedback about the new mode on the feedback page. You may write comments in any language. Thank you.

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process
Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.
The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.
This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.
The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.
Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)
- This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes
Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:
Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.
There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:
Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).
Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.
This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?
We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.
- Find out more about the movement strategy process
- Learn more about volunteering to be a Discussion Coordinator

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.
The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found on Meta-Wiki. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates.
The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC).
We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki.
Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.
The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.
The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.
- April 7 (00:00 UTC) – April 20 (23:59 UTC) – Board nominations
- April 7 – April 20 – Board candidates questions submission period
- April 21 – April 30 – Board candidates answer questions
- May 1 – May 14 – Board voting period
- May 15–19 – Board vote checking
- May 20 – Board result announcement goal
In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:
- Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
- There are five positions being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.
- Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
- One position is being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.
Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.
More information on this year's elections can be found on Meta-Wiki. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the election talk page on Meta-Wiki, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-electionswikimedia.org.
On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee
Joe Sutherland, Community Advocate, Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data center in Dallas. This will make sure that 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 secondary data center on Wednesday, 19 April 2017. On Wednesday, 3 May 2017, 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 20 to 30 minutes on Wednesday, 19 April and Wednesday, 3 May. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 20 April and Thursday 4 May).
- 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 code freezes for the weeks of 17 April 2017 and 1 May 2017. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

Kildeangivelser til citater
Hej. Jeg arbejder på en mulighed for kildeangivelser til citater.
Har i nogle ideer om, hvilke billeder og retningslinjer der skal være til det? Der er åbent for foreslag.
Indtil videre har jeg lavet en tilføjelse til skabelon Citat og lavet et javascript:
Javascript: https://da.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bruger:Mads_Haupt/common.js
Skabelon: https://da.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bruger:Mads_Haupt/testmilj%C3%B8/Skabelon:Citat
Test af skabelon og javascript: https://da.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bruger:Mads_Haupt/testmilj%C3%B8/testjavascript
(Bemærk at javascriptet ikke vil virke før du kopiere det over i dit eget userscript)

- Der ser da fint ud. Dog får man en alert "Elements: .." her gang man loader en side, men det tænker jeg da bliver fixet. Men selve ideen virker da helt fint. Prøv at arbejd lidt mere på scriptet og se hvad du kan få det til. --SimmeD (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 06:58 (UTC)
- Jeg har hidtil brugt {{cite web}} ligesom på Wikipedia. Man kan bruge dette værktøj til at skabe koden. Hvad gør scriptet?
- Sarrus (d • b) d. 28. apr 2017, 08:00 (UTC)- Alert "Elements " er kun til test. Jeg brugte den til at teste, hvor mange forekomster scriptet fandt. Den skal bare fjernes, når vi er blevet enige om, hvordan vi gør det.
- Indtil videre mangler jeg nogle ikoner til den knap man kan trykke på for at få vist kilden/oprindelsen/hvor personen har citatet fra, og jeg har også tænkt mig at lave en animation med CSS3, når jeg får tid.
- Mvh Mads Haupt (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 08:26 (UTC)
- @Sarrus
- Scriptet tilføjer et link foran hver div-element med klassen "source_of_citation", og tilføjer en eventhandler til linket, så elementet vises/skjules, når man trykker på det.
- Mvh Mads Haupt (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 08:31 (UTC)
- Det forstod jeg så ikke noget af. Hvad er det der skal vises/skjules? Du kan prøve at se på Poul Madsen, hvordan jeg har gjort.

Omkring stilmanual
Jeg har tænkt på om vi skulle lave om på hvordan vi laver siderne her på Wikiquote. Hvis du f.eks. ser på den engelsk version af Brad Pitt her..., så kan man nemt se at det ser lidt pænere ud en på den danske Brad Pitt. Det kunne være vi skulle ændre skabelonen {{person}}, eller vi skal stoppe med helt at bruge den.
Det ville dog være smart hvis vi bare kunne ændre skabelonen så det hele kom til at se fint ud igen. --SimmeD (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 07:08 (UTC)
- Er der et problem med den skabelon? Den giver da relevante oplysninger om personen og links til søsterprojekter.
- Sarrus (d • b) d. 28. apr 2017, 07:56 (UTC)- Ja, men hvis man bruger "person" så er der et sort mellemrum fra biografi og citater. Det ser ikke særlig pænt ud, og hvis så biografien er lille, så er der et sort mellemrum. --SimmeD (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 08:33 (UTC)
- Og det er selvfølgelig kun hvis der bruges et stort billede. Du kan se eksemplerne ovenfor. --SimmeD (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 08:38 (UTC)
- Jeg har rettet skabelonen for et par dage siden på grund af fejl.
- Jeg tror ikke det har påvirket mellemrummet. Det har hele tiden været der, som jeg husker det.
- Jeg prøver at se på skabelonen.
- Mvh Mads Haupt (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 12:38 (UTC)
- Jeg har lavet en ikke offentliggjort rettelse her.
- Jeg tænker at den lange linje som stadig er der ser "grim" ud, når linjen er længere oppe og går bag ved billedet.
- Hvis den lange linje skal rettes, så den virker ordentligt, tror jeg det er nødvendigt at lave noget CSS til det.
- Mvh Mads Haupt (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 13:27 (UTC)
- Jeg tror jeg har løst problemet. Se testsiden her
- De ændringer jeg har lavet i {{Person}} i testmiljøet kan ses her.
- Mvh Mads Haupt (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 16:38 (UTC)
- Hvis i synes ændringerne i skabelonen ser ud som det skal i testmiljøet kan jeg tilføje ændringerne til {{Person}}. :)
- Mvh Mads Haupt (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 16:45 (UTC)
- Og det er selvfølgelig kun hvis der bruges et stort billede. Du kan se eksemplerne ovenfor. --SimmeD (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 08:38 (UTC)
- Ja, men hvis man bruger "person" så er der et sort mellemrum fra biografi og citater. Det ser ikke særlig pænt ud, og hvis så biografien er lille, så er der et sort mellemrum. --SimmeD (diskussion) 28. apr 2017, 08:33 (UTC)
- Altså for min skyld må du gerne. Det ser en del pænere ud. --SimmeD (diskussion) 2. maj 2017, 07:54 (UTC)
- Også, forstår ikke helt hvorfor vi har parameter i {{person}} som hedder "kategori". Der tilføjes allerede kategorier i bunden af artiklen så de parameter er derfor unødvendige. Det ender altid med at der er sat kategorier i skabelonen samt i bunden af siden. --SimmeD (diskussion) 2. maj 2017, 07:56 (UTC)
- Jeg tænker der er parametre i bunden af skabelonen, fordi den er tænkt som noget der i sig selv skulle kunne udfylde en hel eller næsten en hel citatsamling.
- Hvis der ikke er nogle der er imod fjernelse af Kategori-parametre i skabelonen og rettelse af fejlene i skabelonen vil jeg rette den og manuelt gennemgå de omkring 150 citatsamlinger der er i alt og rette kategorierne, så det fungere med en skabelon uden kategori-parametre.

Editing News #1—2017
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Siden sidste nyhedsbrev har VisualEditor-holdet brugt det meste af deres tid på at arbejde på det nye 2017 wikitekst-værktøj, som er tilgængeligt som en beta-funktion i VisualEditor, samt den nye visuelle forskelsvisning. Deres arbejdstavle er tilgængelig gennem Phabricator-værktøjet. Du kan se en liste over hvilke opgaver der er blevet løst hver uge på siden mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Udviklernes nuværende prioriteter er at fikse fejl, at understøtte det nye wikitekst-værktøj som en beta-funktion samt at forbedre den nye visuelle forskelsvisning.
Nyeste ændringer
- En ny måde at redigere wikitekst er tilgængelig som en Beta-funktion på PCer. 2017-udgaven af wikitekst-værktøjet har den samme værktøjslinje som den visuelle editor, og kan bruge citoid-værktøjet samt andre moderne værktøjer. Gå til Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures for at aktivere ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽.
- En ny visuel måde at se forskelle mellem versioner af sider er tilgængelig i VisualEditors visuelle tilstand. Du kan skifte mellem wikitekst og visuel forskelsvisning. Visuel forskelsvisning vil blive udvidet med flere funktioner senere. Dette værktøj vil muligvis blive tilføjet til andre områder i MediaWiki i fremtiden. [10]
- The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The
<references />
block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [11] - You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. [12]
- The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. [13]
- The Kategorier item has been moved to the top of the Sideindstillinger menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access. [14] There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. [15]
- You can now create
<chem>
tags (sometimes used as<ce>
) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [16] - Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [17]
- The Specialtegn menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt. [18]
- En fejl gjorde at man tømte resten af siden for indhold når man løste en redigeringskonflikt i sektionsredigering. Fejlen er nu løst og vi beklager ulejligheden. [19]
- En ny tastaturgenvej for kildehenvisninger er tilgængelig:
Control
+Shift
+K
på PC, ellerCommand
+Shift
+K
på Mac. Den nye tastaturgenvej er baseret på tastaturgenvejen for at lave links som er henholdsvisControl
+K
ellerCommand
+K
for PC og Mac. [20]
Fremtidige ændringer
- Udviklerne arbejder på et syntaksfremhævnings-værktøj. Det vil fremhæve
<ref>
-par og andre former for wikitekst-syntaks. Det vil være muligt at slå fremhævning til og fra. Funktionen er måske klar i slutningen af 2017, og vil i starten kun være tilgængelig i VisualEditors wikitekst-tilstand. [21] - Knap-typen der bruges til at Vis forhåndsvisning, Vis ændringer og gemme en redigering vil ændre sig i alle WMF-understøttede wikitext-værktøjer. De nye knapper vil bruge OOjs brugergrænseflade. Knapperne vil være større, lysere og nemmere at læse. Mærkaterne vil forblive de samme. Du kan teste den nye knap ved at redigere en side og tilføje
&ooui=1
i slutningen af webadressen: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1 Det gamle udseende vil ikke længere være muligt, selv med lokale CSS-ændringer. [22] - Den forældede wikitekst-editor fra 2006 vil blive fjernet senere på året. Den bliver brugt af omtrent 0,03% af alle aktive bidragsydere. Se denne liste over redigeringsværktøjer på mediawiki.org hvis du er i tvivl om hvilken du bruger. [23]

The Wikimedia movement strategy core team and working groups have completed reviewing the more than 1800 thematic statements we received from the first discussion. They have identified 5 themes that were consistent across all the conversations - each with their own set of sub-themes. These are not the final themes, just an initial working draft of the core concepts.
You are invited to join the online and offline discussions taking place on these 5 themes. This round of discussions will take place between now and June 12th. You can discuss as many as you like; we ask you to participate in the ones that are most (or least) important to you.
Here are the five themes, each has a page on Meta-Wiki with more information about the theme and how to participate in that theme's discussion:
- Healthy, Inclusive Communities
- The Augmented Age
- A Truly Global Movement
- The Most Respected Source of Knowledge
- Engaging in the Knowledge Ecosystem
On the movement strategy portal on Meta-Wiki, you can find more information about each of these themes, their discussions, and how to participate.

Columns for references
Hello,
At the request of Wikipedia editors, a new feature has been added to MediaWiki. Long lists of references (also called citations or footnotes) will automatically be displayed in columns. This will make it easier for most people to read the references, especially on narrow screens. Short lists of references will not be affected.
I plan to enable this new feature at this wiki on Monday, 24 July 2017. After that date, use the normal <references />
tag on any page with many references to see this feature. If you do not want columns used on that page, then use this wikitext code instead: <references responsive="0" />

Improved search in deleted pages archive
Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog
During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.
Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete
page, and add &fuzzy=1
to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).
We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki.
Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0
in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0
Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.
Tak! CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 25. jul 2017, 18:39 (UTC)
Accessible editing buttons
You can see and use the old and new versions now. Most editors will only notice that some buttons are slightly larger and have different colors.
-
Buttons before the change
-
Buttons after the change
However, this change also affects some user scripts and gadgets. Unfortunately, some of them may not work well in the new system. If you maintain any user scripts or gadgets that are used for editing, please see mw:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons for information on how to test and fix your scripts. Outdated scripts can be tested and fixed now.
This change will probably reach this wiki on Tuesday, 1 August 2017. Please leave a note at mw:Talk:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons if you need help.--Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 27. jul 2017, 16:56 (UTC)
New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.
Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.
For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.
The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.
Tak!

Siden det sidste nyhedsbrev har redigerings-teamet brugt det meste af deres tid på at understøtte den nye 2017 wikikode-editor der er tilgængelig som betafunktion i VisualEditor. De har også brugt tid på at forbedre det visuelle forskelsvisnings-værktøj. Deres arbejdstavle er tilgængelig gennem Phabricator-værktøjet. Du kan finde links til udførte opgaver fra den forgående uge ved mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Deres nuværende prioriteter er at rette fejl, understøttelse af den nye 2017 wikikode-editor og at forbedre det visuelle forskelsvisnings-værktøj.
Nylige ændringer
- Den nye 2017 wikikode-editor er tilgængelig som beta-funktion på stationære og bærbare computere. Den bruger den samme værktøjslinje som den visuelle editor og kan bruge citoid-værktøjet samt andre moderne værktøjer. Udviklerne har sammenlignet ydeevnen for forskellige redigeringsværktøjer. De har studeret hvor længe det tager at åbne en side og begynde at skrive. Studiet bruger data fra mere en én million redigeringer i december og januar. Visse ændringer er blevet lavet for at forbedre den nye wikikode-editor og VisualEditor's hastighed. På det seneste har vi målt at den nye 2017 wikikode-editor åbnede hurtigst i forbindelse med de fleste redigeringer. Den gamle wikikode-editor fra 2010 var hurtigst i nogle tilfælde. Du kan se mere information på siden mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
- Det visuelle forskelsvisnings-værktøj blev udviklet til brug i VisualEditor. Værktøjet er nu tilgængeligt for alle brugere af VisualEditor samt den nye 2017 wikikode-editor. Når du gennemser dine ændringer kan du skifte mellem wikikode og visuel forskelsvisning. Du kan også afprøve den nye visuelle forskelsvisning. Når du har aktiveret funktionen kan du bruge det visuelle forskelsvisnings-værktøj til at se andre personers redigeringer i sidehistorikker og Special:RecentChanges. [24]
- Wikikode syntaks-fremhævelse er tilgængelig som beta-funktion for både den nye 2017 wikikode-editor og den gamle wikikode-editor fra 2010. [25]
- Citoid-værktøjet konverterer automatisk URL-adresser, DOI & ISBN-numre samt PubMed id-numre til wikikode-kildehenvisninger. Det er et meget populært og brugbart værktøj, men kan være svært at konfigurere. Din wiki kan få adgang til værktøjet, læs venligst vejledningen. Du kan bede udvikler-teamet om at hjælpe med at aktivere værktøjet på din wiki.
Lad os arbejde sammen
- Udvikler-teamet vil drøfte redigerings-værktøjer ved et kommende Wikimedia Foundation-møde.
- Wikibooks, Wikiversity og andre fællesskaber kan få VisualEditor slået til som standard. Hvis dit fællesskab ønsker at få slået VisualEditor til som standard, så kontakt venligst Dan Garry.
<references />
-blokken kan automatisk vise lange kildelister i kolonner på brede skærme. Dette gør fodnoter nemmere at læse. Du kan anmode om flerkolonne-understøttelse på din wiki.

Update on page issues on mobile web
Update on page issues on mobile web
Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog 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
(Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog)
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!

New user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS
(Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog)
Hi all!
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css
and MediaWiki:Vector.js
which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.)
A new user group, interface-admin
, has been created.
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css
or .js
that is either in the MediaWiki:
namespace or is another user's user subpage).
You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).
Thanks!

Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now
(Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog)
Hi all,
as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin
(Brugerfladeredaktører) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.
Thanks!

Read-only mode for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. This will make sure that 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 do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre 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 secondary data center on Wednesday, 12 September 2018. On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch. 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 up to an hour on Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
- 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 code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has wrapped up most of their work on the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual diff tool. The team has begun investigating the needs of editors who use mobile devices. Their work board is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are fixing bugs and improving mobile editing.
Seneste ændringer
- The Editing team has published an initial report about mobile editing.
- The Editing team has begun a design study of visual editing on the mobile website. Nye skribenter har problemer med at udføre grundlæggende opgaver på smartphoner, så som at tilføje links til Wikipedia artikler. Du kan læse rapporten.
- The Reading team is working on a separate mobile-based contributions project.
- 2006 versionen af wikitekst editoren understøttes ikke længere. If you used that toolbar, then you will no longer see any toolbar. You may choose another editing tool in your editing preferences, local gadgets, or beta features.
- The Editing team described the history and status of VisualEditor in this recorded public presentation (starting at 29 minutes, 30 seconds).
- The Language team released a new version of Content Translation (CX2) last month, on International Translation Day. It integrates the visual editor to support templates, tables, and images. It also produces better wikitext when the translated article is published. [27]
Lad os arbejde sammen
- The Editing team wants to improve visual editing on the mobile website. Please read their ideas and tell the team what you think would help editors who use the mobile site.

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Ændringer i forhold til hvordan enkelte skabeloner ser ud på mobil web på vej
Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog
Goddag,
Om nogle få uger vil læser web teamet ændre på måden som nogle skabeloner ser ud på mobil webstedet. Vi vil gøre disse skabeloner mere tydelige når en artikel læses. Vi beder om jeres hjælp i forhold til at forbedre enhver skabelon der ikke ser ud som den burde.
What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.
For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.
If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.
Tak!

FileExporter beta feature
A new beta feature will soon be released on all wikis: The FileExporter. It allows exports of files from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, including their file history and page history. Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.
The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page.
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

Talk to us about talking
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
- First, sign up your group here.
- Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
- Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
- When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
- What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
- What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
- What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
- What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
- Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Wikimedia Foundation Medium-Term Plan feedback request
Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog
Input ang. affiliate-udvalgte bestyrelsesmedlemmer 2019
Wikimedia Foundation, organisationen der står for driften af Wikipedia og Wikipedias søsterprojekter, og som Wikimedia Danmark er et "chapter" af, ledes af en bestyrelse på 10 personer. Fem af disse personer vælges af Wikimedia-bevægelsen, enten gennem direkte valg (3 personer) eller af Wikimedia affiliate-organisationer (2 personer). Begge typer positioner vælges hvert tredje år, dog forskudt med et år.
I 2019 skal affiliate-organisationerne vælge to personer til bestyrelsen. Fra den 15. til 30. april stiller kandiaterne op på meta-wiki, hvor man også kan stille dem spørgsmål. En kandidat skal være godkendt (endorsed) af 2 affiliate-organisationer for at kunne stille op. Fra den 1. til 7. maj "låses" listen over kandidater, og fællesskabet kan granske dem nærmere. Fra den 8. til 31. maj kan affiliate-organisationerne stemme på de kandidater, de ønsker skal sidde i bestyrelsen. Afstemningen anvender rangorden-systemet (single transferable vote)
Wikimedia Danmark er som chapter berettiget til at deltage i processen. Beslutningen om godkendelse (endorsement) af kandidater og hvem der stemmes på, træffes af bestyrelsen, men vi hører meget gerne fra medlemmer af foreningen samt fra det danske Wikimedia-miljø, hvis der er bestemte kandidater som man mener vi bør godkende eller stemme på. Skriv her eller på WikimediaDK-diskussionslisten med forslag. -- InsaneHacker (diskussion) 19. apr 2019, 13:16 (UTC)
WMDK-legater til Wikimania 2019
Fra den 14. til den 18. august 2019 afvikles Wikimania-konferencen i Stockholm. Konferencen er en samling af alle interessenter i Wikimedia-bevægelsen, og årets tema er Stronger Together: Wikimedia, Free Knowledge and the Sustainable Development Goals, en anskuelse af Wikimedia-bevægelsen ud fra FN's verdensmål.
Wikimedia Danmark agter at stille 3 legater af 2000 kr. til rådighed, hvilket er nok til at dække registreringsomkostningerne for hovedkonferencen d. 16.-18. august (midlerne må dog også gerne anvendes til deltagelse i konferencens "pre-days" d. 14.-15. august), samt en del af rejseomkostningerne. Legaterne er tiltænkt personer der er aktive i det danske Wikimedia-miljø. Modtagere vil skulle forpligte sig til at anvende midlerne til deltagelse i Wikimania-konferencen, og at dokumentere denne anvendelse af midlerne. Personer der allerede har tilmeldt sig konferencen kan også ansøge med henblik på at få dækket nogle af omkostningerne.
Interesserede bedes sende en email til bestyrelsewikimedia.dk med en kort beskrivelse af dem selv og deres tilknytning til det danske Wikimedia-miljø senest den 10. juni. Ansøgere til legaterne indvilliger i, at oplyse deres identitet og andre relevante informationer. De, der bliver valgt, vil blive kontaktet senest den 15. juni med henblik på at fastlægge det praktiske.

Editing News #1—July 2019
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Did you know?
Welcome back to the Editing newsletter.
Since the last newsletter, the team has released two new features for the mobile visual editor and has started developing three more. All of this work is part of the team's goal to make editing on mobile web simpler.
Before talking about the team's recent releases, we have a question for you:
Are you willing to try a new way to add and change links?
If you are interested, we would value your input! You can try this new link tool in the mobile visual editor on a separate wiki.
Follow these instructions and share your experience:
Recent releases
The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the mobile site. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:
- Section editing
- The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
- The team studied this with an A/B test. This test showed that contributors who could use section editing were 1% more likely to publish the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
- Loading overlay
- The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.
Section editing and the new loading overlay are now available to everyone using the mobile visual editor.
New and active projects
This is a list of our most active projects. Watch these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.
- Edit cards: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles. You can try this feature now. Go here to see how: 📲 Try Edit Cards.
- Mobile toolbar refresh: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
- Mobile visual editor availability: This A/B test asks: Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor? We are collaborating with 20 Wikipedias to answer this question.
- Usability improvements: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use. The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.
Looking ahead
- Wikimania: Several members of the Editing Team will be attending Wikimania in August 2019. They will lead a session about mobile editing in the Community Growth space. Talk to the team about how editing can be improved.
- Talk Pages: In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin improving talk pages and communication on the wikis.
Learning more
The VisualEditor on mobile is a good place to learn more about the projects we are working on. The team wants to talk with you about anything related to editing. If you have something to say or ask, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Update on the consultation about office actions
Hello all,
Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.
This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.
For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.
Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.
Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 16. aug 2019, 08:03 (UTC)
New tools and IP masking
Hey everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.
We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.
You can post in your language if you can't write in English.

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started
Hello,
In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".
Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October.
How can you help?
- Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);
- Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or
- Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.
We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

Opdatering af stilmanual
Hej alle sammen. Jeg prøver at få denne Wikiquote op og stå¨ved at opdater gamle sider samt lave nye. Lige pt. har vi Wikiquote:Stilmanual, og som det er pt. så bruger vi skabelonerne {{citat}} samt {{person}}. Jeg syntes ikke specielt meget om dem da man er underlagt hvordan skabelonen nu er lavet, og det er ikke en god til at få alle sider på Wikiquote til at køre fra en skabelon, det gør vi med stilmanualen. Mit forslag er at stoppe med at bruge de to skabeloner, og begynde at skrive artiklerne som man gør det på Engelsk Wikiquote samt mange andre. Et eksempel er den her Gilda Radner. Ligesom det fungere når man skriver artikler på Wikipedia. Skabeloner er til at smide på en artikel, ikke til at byg dem i min mening. Og vi skal helst gøre noget nu. Vi har lidt over 150 sider, så hellere starte nu end senere. Hvis jeg ikke får nogle svar, så vil jeg begynde at implementere systemet som de har på mange andre Wikiquote wikis. --SimmeD (diskussion) 8. okt 2019, 12:22 (UTC)
- Har også oprettet en ny under samme logik: Thomas Lansing Masson og Paris Hilton. Det vil derfor også være nemmere for folk fra Wikipedia at begynde at hjælpe herpå. --SimmeD (diskussion) 8. okt 2019, 12:39 (UTC)
Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project
Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog
Hello. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.
We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.
We would like individual feedback on the following:
- Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
- Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
- Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far
We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.
When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:
- Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
- Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
- Put things in logical and useful places
- Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
- Eliminate clutter
- Plan for future growth
As well as the following constraints:
- Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
- Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain
- No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors
Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements
After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.
Tak! Quiddity (WMF) (talk)

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages
Sorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.
You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) 26. feb 2020, 14:14 (UTC)
Feedback on movement names
Hello. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog if necessary. Tak!
There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.
Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a survey in 7 languages about 3 naming options. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a Community Open Letter.
Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.
Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, 2. jul 2020, 19:39 (UTC)
Note: The survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia
Hi all,
It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new.
This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 [1] after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world.
The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language.
As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation [2]. We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams.
It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project.
We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions.
There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list [3]. We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path.
Yours,
Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation)

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis
The FileExporter and FileImporter will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work?
Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.
Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's configuration file which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.
Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.
If you want to know more about the FileImporter extension or the Technical Wishes Project, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team:Max Klemm (WMDE) 6. aug 2020, 09:13 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. This will make sure that 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 do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre 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 secondary data centre on Tuesday, September 1st 2020.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. 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 up to an hour on Tuesday, September 1st. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2).
- 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 code freezes for the week of September 1st, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community.

Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog.
Hello. Please help pick a name for the new Wikimedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki where the community can work together on a library of functions. The community can create new functions, read about them, discuss them, and share them. Some of these functions will be used to help create language-independent Wikipedia articles that can be displayed in any language, as part of the Abstract Wikipedia project. But functions will also be usable in many other situations.
There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with voting beginning on 29 September and 27 October. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on 8 December. If you would like to participate, then please learn more and vote now at meta-wiki. Tak! --Quiddity (WMF)29. sep 2020, 21:13 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that 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 do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre 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 back to the primary data center on Tuesday, October 27 2020.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. 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 up to an hour on Tuesday, October 27. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (14:00 WET, 15:00 CET, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 03:00 NZDT on Wednesday October 28).
- 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 code freezes for the week of October 26, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion
Hello!
I apologize for sending a message in English. Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog. According to the list, your wiki project currently is opted in to the global bot policy. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards.
As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links.
A proposal was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, global sysops and global renamers, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like ListeriaBot.
By this message, I would like to invite you to comment in the global RFC, to voice your opinion about this matter.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Martin Urbanec (diskussion) 24. nov 2020, 11:49 (UTC)
Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist
Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!
As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.
Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.
This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.
Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.
If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally
Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog
Hello everyone,
I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.
In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.
This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like WP:NPOV, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.
As far as I can see, Wikiquote currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.
I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.
Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this proposal.
Best regards,

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations
Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2
Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog
The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its project page.
Drafting Committee: Call for applications
The Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.
To apply and learn more about the process, see Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee.
2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators
From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.
To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.

Global bot policy changes
Hello!
I apologize for sending a message in English. Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog. According to the list, your wiki project is currently opted in to the global bot policy. As such, I want to let you know about some changes that were made after the global RfC was closed.
- Global bots are now subject to a 2 week discussion, and it'll be publicized via a MassMessage list, available at Bot policy/New global bot discussion on Meta. Please subscribe yourself or your wiki if you are interested in new global bots proposals.
- For a bot to be considered for approval, it must demonstrate it is welcomed in multiple projects, and a good way to do that is to have the bot flag on at least 5 wikis for a single task.
- The bot operator should make sure to adhere to the wiki's preference as related to the use of the bot flag (i.e., if a wiki doesn't want a bot to use the flag as it edits, that should be followed).
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
—Thanks for the fish! talk•contribs 6. apr 2021, 18:48 (UTC)
Line numbering coming soon to all wikis
From April 15, you can enable line numbering in some wikitext editors - for now in the template namespace, coming to more namespaces soon. This will make it easier to detect line breaks and to refer to a particular line in discussions. These numbers will be shown if you enable the syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror extension), which is supported in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors.
More information can be found on this project page. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.
-- Johanna Strodt (WMDE) 12. apr 2021, 15:07 (UTC)
Suggested Values
From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.
More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.
