FileExporter beta feature

Coming soon: the beta feature FileExporter

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.

No editing for 30 minutes on 17 January

You will not be able to edit the wikis for up to 30 minutes on 17 January 07:00 UTC. This is because of a database problem that has to be fixed immediately. You can still read the wikis. Some wikis are not affected. They don't get this message. You can see which wikis are not affected on this page. Most wikis are affected. The time you can not edit might be shorter than 30 minutes. /Johan (WMF)

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:

1. First, sign up your group here.
2. 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.
3. 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:
   1. When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
   2. What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
   3. What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
   4. What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
   5. What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
4. 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.

Unexplained reverts

My edits on ჯოსელინ ბელ ბერნელი and ნატურალური ფილოსოფიის მათემატიკური საწყისები have been reverted without explanation, apparently by a bot.

Editing News #1—July 2019

გაეცანით მას სხვა ენაზე • ამ მრავალენოვანი ბიულეტენის გამოწერის სია

'იცით თუ არა, რომ?'

იცით თუ არა, რომ ვიზუალური რედაქტორის გამოყენება მობილურითაც შესაძლებელია?

ყოველ სტატიას გააჩნია კალმის ნიშანი სტატიის თავზე. კალმის ნიშანზე დააჭირეთ და დაიწყეთ რედაქტირება.

რედაქტირების ბარათი

ასე გამოიყურება ვიზუალური რედაქტორი „რედაქტირების ბარათი ბმულებისთვის“ მობულურ ტელეფონში. შენ შეგიძლია სცადო პროტორიპი აქ: 📲 სცადე რედაქტირების ბარათი.

კეთილი იყოს თქვენი მობრძანება უკან რედაქტირების ბიულეტენზე.

ბოლო ბიულეტენიდან აქეთ, დეველოპერთა გუნდმა გამოაქვეყნა ორი ახალი ხელსაწყო მობილურისთვის და დაიწყო სხვა სამ ხელსაწყოზე მუშაობა. ყველა ეს სამუშაო საგუნდო მიზნის ნაწილია, რომელიც გულისხმობს მობილური რედაქტირებისთვის უფრო მარტივი გახადოს.

სანამ დავიწყებთ საუბარს გუნდის ახალ ხელსაწყოზე, ჩვენ გვაქვს შეკითხვა თქვენთვის:

მზად ხართ გამოსცადოთ ბმულის დამატების და შეცვლის ახალი გზა?

თუ ხართ დაინტერესებული, ჩვენ ვაფასებთ თქვენს წვლილს! თქვენ შეგიძლიათ გამოსცადოთ ბმულის ახალი ხელსაწყო, მობილურის ვიზუალური რედაქტორით ცალკე ვიკიში.

მიჰყევით ამ ინსტრუქციებს და გაგვიზიარეთ თქვენი გამოცდილება:

📲 გამოსცადე რედაქტირების ბარათი.

ბოლო გამოშვება

მობილურის ვიზუალური რედაქტორი არის მარტივი რედაქტირების ხელსაწყო სმარტფონებისთვის და პლანშეტებისთვის მობილური საიტის გამოყენებით. დეველოპერთა გუნდმა ამ დღეებში გამოუშვა ორი ახალი ფუნქცია მობილურის ვიზუალური რედაქტორის გაუმჯობესებისთვის.

1. სექციის რედაქტირება
   • მიზანი არის, რომ დავეხმაროთ მომხმარებლებს კონცენტირრება მოახდინონ თვიანთ ცვლილებებზე.
   • გუნდმა შეისწავლა ეს A/B ტესტით. ტესტმა აჩვენა, რომ მომხმარებლებმა, რომლებიც არედაქტირებდნენ გვერდს სექციის რედაქტირების გამოყენებით, ჰქონდათ 1% უფრო სავარაუდო შანსი, რომ გამოაქვეყნათ "რედაქტირება", ვიდრე ისინი, ვინც სრულ გვერდს არედაქტირებდნენ.
2. ცვლილების ჩატვირთვა
   • მიზანი ახალი ფუნქციის არის წაკითხვისა და რედაქტირების შორის გადასვლის გაგლუვება.

სექციის რედაქტირება და ახალი ჩატვირთული ცვლილებები ახლა ხელმისაწვდომია ყველასთვის, ვინც იყენებს მობილურის ვიზუალურ რედაქტორს.

ახალი და აქტიური პროექტები

ეს ჩვენი ყველაზე აქტიური პროექტების სიაა. გადაამოწმეთ ეს გვერდები უფრო მეტი ინფორმაციის გასაგებად.

• რედაქტირების ბარათები: ეს არის უმარტივესი გზა სტატიებში ლინკების, ციტატების, სურათების, თარგებისა და სხ. დამატების. თქვენ შეგიძლიათ სცადოთ ეს განახლება ახლა. გადადით აქ, რომ ნახოთ როგორ: 📲 გამოსცადე რედაქტირების ბარათი.
• მობილურის რედაქტირების პანელის განახლება: ეს პროექტი გვეხმარება გავიგოთ, რამდენად წარმატებულია რედაქტირების პანელი მომხმარებლებისთვის.
• მობილური ვიზუალური რედაქტორის ხელმისაწვდომობა: ეს A/B ტესტი გვეუბნება: იქნებიან თუ არა ახალი მომხმარებლები წარმატებული, თუ ისინი გამოიყენებენ მობილურის ვიზუალურ რედაქტორს? ჩვენ ვიმუშავეთ 20 ვიკიპედიელთან ამ კითხვაზე პასუხის გასაგებად.
• გამოყენების გაუმჯობესება: ეს პროექტი გახდის მობილურის ვიზუალურ რედაქტორს უფრო მარტივს გამოსაყენებლად. ჩვენი მიზანია ხელი შევუწყოთ მომხმარებლებს, რომ დარჩნენ ფოკუსირებული რედაქტირებაზე და იგრძნონ თავი უფრო დარწმუნებული რედაქტირების ინსტრუმენტთან.

სამომავლოდ

• ვიკიმანია: რედაქტირების გუნდის რამდენიმე წევრი დაესწრება ვიკიმანიას, 2019 წლის აგვისტოში. ისინი მოხსენებას გააკეთებენ მობილურით რედაქტირების შესახებ, საზოგადოების განვითარების სივრცეში. ესაუბრეთ მათ, თუ როგორ შეიძლება გაუმჯობესდეს რედაქტირების ხელსაწყო.
• განხილვის გვერდები: მომდევნო თვეებში, რედაქტირების გუნდი დაიწყებს განხილვის გვერდებისა და კომუნიკაციის გაუმჯობესებას ვიკიში.

გაიგეთ მეტი

VisualEditor მობილურზე არის კარგი ადგილი იმისთვის, რომ გაიგოთ უფრო მეტი იმაზე, რაზეც ჩვენ ვმუშაობთ. გუნდს სურს ისაუბროს თქვენთან რედაქტირებასთან დაკავშირებულ ყველაფერზე. თუ გსურთ რაიმეს თქმა ან შეკითხვის დასმა, გთხოვთ დატოვოთ შეტყობინება განხილვა:VisualEditor on mobile-ზე.

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!

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project

Please help translate to your language

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.

Beta feature "Reference Previews"

A new beta feature will soon be deployed to your wiki: Reference Previews. As you might guess from the name, this feature gives you a preview of references in the article text. That means, you can look up a reference without jumping down to the bottom of the page.

Reference Previews have already been a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia since April. Now they will become available on more wikis. Deployment is planned for October 24. More information can be found on the project page.

As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test Reference Previews, please activate the beta feature in your user preferences and let us know what you think. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. We hope the feature will serve you well in your work. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages

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

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.

Help

What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team wants your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

Talk pages project

The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

Mobile visual editor

The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Edit Cards

What happens when you click on a link. The new Edit Card is bigger and has more options for editing links.

• On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
• There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links. There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.
• Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.

Toolbar

The editing toolbar is changing in the mobile visual editor. The old system had two different toolbars. Now, all the buttons are together. Tell the team what you think about the new toolbar.

• In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
  • One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
  • New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
  • Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
• Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.

Wikimania

The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

Looking ahead

• Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
• Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
• Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The Editing team hopes to share results in November. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.
