Hjälp sökes av Gaudi9223
[redigera wikitext]Hej! Behöver vägledning och hjälp gällande redigering. Blir ogjord av en administrator som inte tar hänsyn till diskussion eller källa.
Hej!
Jag ber om hjälp för att nyansera en diskussion jag nu inlett på svenska wikipedia sidan svensk uradel https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svensk_uradel
Det är en användare vid namn andejons som gör ogjort det jag försöker bdira konstruktivt med. Jag försöker hänvisa till att Riddarhuset titulerar familjer som sent 1579 blivit omnämnda som uradel. Deras definition är att om en familj nyttjade och levde utefter adliga privilegier, exempelvis inte betalade skatt, var engagerade i rusttjänst m.m och inte hade sköldbrev så var de uradel. Detta står klart och tydligt på flertalet familjer på riddarhuset minerva, jag har även ringt dem och fått saken förklarat för mig.
Användaren i fråga verkar ha uppnått ett missförstånd där den hyper fokuserar på årtalet 1420 som en relevans då i en ordbok det stod att det exempelvis var "mellan tummen och pekfingret" generaliserat till att vara startskott för uradel. Detta är då fel enligt expertis och auktoritär kring ämnet och är bara ett årtal som följt med som en felaktighet då det var då det första sköldebrevet delades ut.
I mitt exempel så är familjen hierta uradel per definition då dom omnämns tidigare, nyttjade alla adliga privilegier och hade de förbindelser/engagemang som krävdes för att tituleras som uradel.
Jag tycker det är sorgligt att man inte tar detta i beaktning då det känns som demokratin och evidensen inte blir hörd utan faller offer till principsak och någons stagnerade tolkning, trotts att denna inte har ens en procent av riddarhusets auktoritet och expertis.
Ordböcker är ingen auktoritet och jag behöver förhoppningsvis inte påminna om folkets uppror när snippadommen kom på tal.
Jag ber dig om hjälp då jag inte vet hur jag ska förhålla mig till en administratör som inte bidrar till diskussionen eller tar hänsyn till det jag försöker komma med.

Recent changes
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 October. It will be on all wikis from 12 October (calendar).
- Starting on Wednesday, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link" (Swahili Wikipedia, Walloon Wikipedia, Waray Wikipedia, Wolof Wikipedia, Kalmyk Wikipedia, Xhosa Wikipedia, Mingrelian Wikipedia, Yiddish Wikipedia, Yoruba Wikipedia, Zhuang Wikipedia, Zeelandic Wikipedia, Min Nan Wikipedia, Zulu Wikipedia). This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to more Wikipedias. The communities can configure how this feature works locally. [4]
- At some wikis, newcomers are suggested images from Commons to add to articles without any images. Starting on Tuesday, newcomers at these wikis will be able to add images to unillustrated article sections. The specific wikis are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table. You can learn more about this feature. [5]
- In the mobile web skin (Minerva) the CSS ID
#page-actions
will be replaced with#p-views
. This change is to make it consistent with other skins and to improve support for gadgets and extensions in the mobile skin. A few gadgets may need to be updated; there are details and search-links in the task.

Growth team newsletter #28
[redigera wikitext]Welcome to the twenty-eighth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
Community configuration 2.0
[redigera wikitext]- Community Configuration 2.0 is a feature that will enable Wikimedia communities to easily customize and configure features to meet their unique needs. This approach provides non-technical moderators with more independence and control over enabling/disabling and customizing features for their communities.
- Technical approach and associated tasks are detailed in this Epic task on Phabricator.
- Initial designs are drafted for two different approaches (see images). We will soon demo interactive prototypes to interested admins, stewards, and experienced editors (T346109). Please let us know if you have feedback on the design approach, or want to participate in prototype testing.
IP Masking
[redigera wikitext]- The Growth team has been working on several updates to ensure Growth maintained features will be compatible with future IP Masking changes. This work has included code changes to: Recent Changes (T343322), Echo notifications (T333531), the Thanks extension (T345679) and Mentorship (T341390).
- Before December, the Growth team will initiate community discussions with the goal of migrating communities from Flow to DiscussionTools. This move aims to minimize the necessity for additional engineering work to make Flow compatible with IP Masking. (T346108)
Mentorship
[redigera wikitext]- We assembled some resources for mentors at Mediawiki wiki. This resource page is translatable and will be linked from the mentor dashboard.
- We are working to resolve a bug related to mentors properly returning after being marked as "Away". (T347024)
- Half of newcomers at English Wikipedia get a mentor assigned to them. To ensure every newcomer receives mentorship, we need additional volunteer mentors at English Wikipedia to achieve a 100% coverage rate. We also encourage experienced users from other wikis to help newcomers at their own community.
Scaling Growth features
[redigera wikitext]- We continue the deployment of the structured task "add a link" to all Wikipedias. We plan to scale the task to all Wikipedias that have link suggestions available by the end of 2023.
- We plan to scale the new Impact Module to all Wikipedias soon, but first we are investigating a bug with the job that refreshes the Impact Module data. (T344428)
- At some wikis, newcomers have access to the "add an image" structured task. This task suggests images that may be relevant to add to unillustrated articles. Newcomers at these wikis can now add images to unillustrated articles sections. (T345940) The wikis that have this task are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table.
Other news
[redigera wikitext]- We disabled the “add an image” task temporarily (T345188) because there was a failure in the image suggestions pipeline (T345141). This is now fixed.
- You can read a report about the Growth team’s representation at Wikimania in Singapore here. Growth team members presented two sessions at Wikimania Singapore.
- After a 2.5 years-long collaboration with Bangala Wikipedia, we have decided to start a collaboration with another wiki. Swahili Wikipedia is now a pilot wiki for Growth experiments.

Wikimedia apps newsletter – October 2023
[redigera wikitext]Revealing What's Inside the Fourth Edition of the Wikipedia Mobile Apps Newsletter!
Discover the latest updates, improvements, and new content in our newsletter, ensuring you stay informed for an enhanced mobile Wikipedia experience.
iOS
[redigera wikitext]From the end of August to October 2023
- The iOS suggested edits feature, originally successful on Android, is now being developed for iOS. This expansion aligns with the Product & Technology organization's goals for the 2023–2024 fiscal year, with a specific target of increasing mobile contributions by 10% without reversion. This move responds to the growing demand for a similar content creation and maintenance tool on Apple devices.
- The team released 7.4.1 in August, which included:
- The ability to Undo and Rollback edits on Diff Pages!
- The addition of Tachelhit Language Wiki.

Moderator Tools newsletter - Issue #1
[redigera wikitext]Welcome to the inaugural Moderator Tools newsletter! We’ll aim to publish new issues whenever we have big new updates about the projects we’re working on.
PageTriage
[redigera wikitext]We’ve now wrapped up our work to support the English Wikipedia’s New Pages Patrol community by tackling some major technical debt in the PageTriage extension. The final project update gives an overview of all the work that we did over the past 6 months.
Automoderator
[redigera wikitext]We’re currently working on a project called Automoderator, which will enable communities to automatically revert bad edits based on community-defined settings. We’re looking for input and feedback on our plans so far, and have a number of questions on topics we need patrollers and administrators to help us understand better. In addition to the overview and questions on the main project page, we now have two sub-pages with more specific information:
- If you want to investigate Automoderator’s accuracy rate and check out how it would behave in practice, we’ve set up a testing process with data and scores so you can help us find new patterns we can take into consideration before Automoderator is deployed.
- The measurement plan is the first draft of our plan to measure whether Automoderator is achieving its goals and not having negative consequences. Want to propose some data for us to capture to help evaluate this project? This is the place to go!
Other
[redigera wikitext]Our team has also been working to ensure that software we’re responsible for is updated to support temporary accounts. We’ve made changes to PageTriage, Nuke, and The Wikipedia Library.
Although we have active engineering projects ongoing, we're always happy to chat about your community's content moderation tool needs - feel free to get in contact at Talk:Moderator Tools.

Welcome to the 600th Wikidata Weekly Summary!
[redigera wikitext]- Welcome to the 600th Weekly Summary!
Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ --Mohammed
- Item #600 Ichiro Suzuki; Property #600 is Wine AppDB ID; and Lexeme #600 is the Japanese conjugation だから
- 600 in the multiverse: as a year (another year), a number, a category, a track gauge, a jet, an asteroid, an auto race, a genetic element, a death, a birth, a TV serie, a car, a galaxy, a sport discipline, a radio telescope, an engine, a polygon, a film, a GPU, a photolithography, and many more…
- Timeline of places when they had a population of exactly 600
- Map of things at an altitude of 600 m
- List of items with an external ID equal to 600
- Wikidata was 600 days old on Wednesday 11 June 2014. It will be 600 weeks old on Monday 9 August 2027
- WikidataCon happened over the weekend
- Birthday wishes from the community, and a special note from the Wikidata development team at Wikimedia Deutschland below:
Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.
There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉
Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all.
And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me.

[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Senaste ändringar
- Som en del i projektet att förbättra uppladdningsguiden på Commons har arbetslaget Strukturerat innehåll gjort några förbättringar av användarupplevelsen hos uppladdningssteget för att välja eget gentemot annans arbete (T347590) samt hos licensieringssteget för eget arbete (T347756).
- Arbetslaget Designsystem har släppte version 1.0.0 av Codex Wikimedias nya designsystem. Läs den annonseringen av Codex 1.0.0 i sin fullhet.
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 31 oktober. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 1 november. Den kommer att finnas på alla Wikipediaspråkversioner från och med 2 november (kalender).
- Listor på kategorisidor sorteras på alla wikier för det språk som använder en bibliotek. Under en kort period den 2 november kommer ändringar av kategorier inte sorteras korrekt för flera språk. Detta beror på att utvecklarna uppdaterar till en ny version av biblioteket. De kommer då använda ett skript för att åtgärda de existerande kategorier. Detta kommer ta några timmar eller några dagar beroende på hur stor wikin är. Du kan läs mer. [8][9]
- Från och med 1 november kommer påverkansmodulen (Special:Impact) uppgraderas av Growth-teamet. Den nya påverkansmodulen visar nykomlingar mer data om deras påverkan på wikin. Det testades några få wikier de senaste månaderna. [10]
Framtida ändringar
- Det finns föreslagen plan för att återaktivera tillägget Grath. Du kan hjälpa till genom att granska förslaget och dela dina åsikter.
- WMF arbetar på att göra det möjligt för administratörer att redigera MediaWiki-konfigurering direkt. Detta påminner om tidigare arbete på Special:EditGrowthConfig. En teknisk RfC körs fram till 8 november, där du kan erbjuda återkoppling.

Frågor från Lilleskutt00 (2 november 2023 kl. 12.02)
[redigera wikitext]Hej Ainali,
Jag vill skriva en artikel om min kolega Yusuf Muhawech. Han är en ungdomsledare och är aktiv i samhället på olika sätt. Han är tidigare ledamot i Sveriges ungdomsråd, Skövde ungdomsforum och är för tillfället styrelseledamot i Elevernas riksförbund samt är med i WWF Sweden Youth och sitter i styrelsen för WWF. Han är även internationell reppresentant för LSU i EU projektet EGL. Han har varit med i olika nyheter som exempelvis expressen och altinget mm och är igenkänd i ungdomsrörelsen. Det vore bra att skriva en artikel om honom, det finns flera källor ifall man söker på honom.
Är han tillräckligt relevant för en artikel?

Senaste ändringarna
- I utseendet Vector 2022 har standard typsnittsstorlek av navigatoriska element (tagline, verktygsmeny, navigatoriska länkar och mer) höjts lite för att matcha typsnittsstorleken som används i sidinnehåll. [11]
Problem
- Förra veckan uppstod på några wikier ett problem med att visa vissa nya redigeringar under 1-6 timmar. Redigeringarna sparades men visades inte omedelbart. Detta berodde på ett problem med databasen. [12]
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 7 november. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 8 november. Den kommer att finnas på alla Wikipediaspråkversioner från och med 9 november (kalender).
- Growth-teamet kommer omplacera nykomlingar från tidigare faddrar till de nu aktiva faddrarna. Dom har också gjort aviseringsspråket mer användarvänligt. [13][14]

Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The seventh Wikidata Working Hour will cover the Author Disambiguator tool, which helps users assign authors to articles.During the session we will demonstrate how to use the tool on an author who was created during a previous working hour, and another who doesn't exist in Wikidata yet. After the demonstration, participants are encouraged to try the tool themselves during the rest of the working hour. This session will build on the work done in previous Working Hours by connecting authors to the articles they have written. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page

Frågor från Solkysst (21 november 2023 kl. 13.27)
[redigera wikitext]Hej, Jag skriver en artikel om Riksföreningen för Ambulanssjuksköterskor och är lite nyfiken på hur det står till med källor och så? Då det är en relativt liten och så att säga "nischad" förening kan jag nästan enbart utgå ifrån deras egna hemsida, kompendium och stadgar för information och fakta. Jag undrar vad mer jag behöver göra för att få artikeln att stanna uppe eller om föreningens egna sida är källa nog? Jag undrar också om jag har tillåtelse att använda bilder ifrån föreningens egna pressida när det kommer till bilder på deras logga eller om jag behöver göra något speciellt för att få tillåtelse att använda dom?
Tack på förhand, Tindra --Solkysst (diskussion) 21 november 2023 kl. 13.27 (CET)
- Hej Solkysst! Det är oerhört viktigt med externa källor. Om du bara kan basera artikeln på den egna hemsidan så är föreningen sannolikt inte relevant nog för Wikipedia. Se våra riktlinjer om relevans för föreningar. När det gäller bilder så är utgångspunkten att du inte kan använda deras bilder om de inte specifikt har angivit en fri licens. Se vår sida om illustrationer. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 22 november 2023 kl. 17.31 (CET)
Frågor från Carljohanhane (21 november 2023 kl. 20.38)
[redigera wikitext]Jag har skapat en sida om Galleri Camera Obscura som upprepade gånger raderats. Den senaste gången med en länk som hänvisar till en person. Det blir en rundgång som inte är korrekt. Jag försökte därför ta bort den hänvisningen, men det fungerar tydligen inte, jag förstår det som att jag inte har behörighet till det. Men innehållsligt är det som skapats inte helt korrekt. Framför allt förstår jag inte varför den senaste versionen av min artikel raderats. --Carljohanhane (diskussion) 21 november 2023 kl. 20.38 (CET)
- Hej Carljohanhane. Jag tror att Yger gjorde bedömningen att din artikel var så oerhört kort att den lika gärna kunde vara inkluderad som en rad i artikeln om Lars Hall. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 22 november 2023 kl. 17.35 (CET)
- Hej, jag förstår, min artikel var kort därför att den var tänkt att utgöra stomme för ytterligare utveckling. Som det är nu, är innehållet, som inkluderats in artikeln om Lars Hall inte rättvisande. Jag skulle alltså vilja att hänvisningen togs bort och att den tidigare artikeln om Camera Obscura återställdes, så att den kunde kompletteras. Carljohanhane (diskussion) 22 november 2023 kl. 18.08 (CET)
- Jag föreslår du då skapar den i din sandlåda och där gör den färdig, så går det att bndöma om det är rimligt med egen artikel Yger (diskussion) 22 november 2023 kl. 18.10 (CET)

Frågor från Kung Konvalj (27 november 2023 kl. 23.05)
[redigera wikitext]Hej, Skapade nyss en sida om en lokal författare "Lennart Brohed" men nu kan jag inte återfinna den. Är den under granskning eller borta? --Kung Konvalj (diskussion) 27 november 2023 kl. 23.05 (CET)
- Artikeln hade av någon anledning raderats, men jag har nu återställt den på Lennart Brohed. Jobba gärna lite på formateringen, till exempel rubrikhantering och fotnoter. Se gärna Wikipedia:Introduktion för en kort kurs, och sedan kanske specifikt Wikipedia:Att skriva om litteratur för ämnesspecifika tips. Välkommen till Wikipedia. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 27 november 2023 kl. 23.37 (CET)
- Det var jag som raderade artikeln. Motiveringen kanske var lite otydlig men böckerna verkade vara självutgivna och artikeln var rätt udda formaterad. Samma artikel hade skapats i januari med liknande innehåll och även då raderats. EPIC (diskussion) 27 november 2023 kl. 23.41 (CET)
- Tack för flytten till sandlådan (Användare:Kung Konvalj/Lennart Brohed), nu kan ju Kung Konvalj jobba vidare på den. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 28 november 2023 kl. 00.16 (CET)

Growth team newsletter #29
[redigera wikitext]Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
Community Conversations
[redigera wikitext]The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.
This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.
Impact Module
[redigera wikitext]At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [31]
Add a Link
[redigera wikitext]We released “add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [32] [33]
We have a few Wikipedias remaining:
- German and English Wikipedia will be contacted at the beginning of January 2024.
- There are a few small wikis that will not receive the task until they have enough articles for the algorithm to work properly.
Community Configuration
[redigera wikitext]- We shared Community Configuration 2.0 plans with technical stakeholders. [34] 🖂
- Initial Community Configuration design ideas have been shared and discussed with community members.
- A basic Community Configuration 2.0 demo is released on ToolForge.
- Developers can find some initial proof of concept code shared on gitlab.
Mentorship
[redigera wikitext]When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [35]
We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [36]
We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [37]
It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [38]

Frågor från Sagulli2011 (2 december 2023 kl. 15.16)
[redigera wikitext]Hej! Tänkte bara fråga hur var jag kan skapa ett wikipedia dokument. Eller du vet var jag skriva och sedan publicera. --Sagulli2011 (diskussion) 2 december 2023 kl. 15.16 (CET)
- Hej Sagulli2011! Jag antar att du menar en vanlig Wikipediaartikel när du säger dokument. Jag rekommenderar att du kikar på introduktionskursen innan du försöker dig på det så att du får det så rätt som möjligt från början och inte får din artikel raderad i onödan. I kursen förklaras hur man går till väga för att skapa en ny artikel. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 2 december 2023 kl. 16.40 (CET)

Frågor från Johnviking (5 december 2023 kl. 11.27)
[redigera wikitext]Hej! Jag håller på att skriva en artikel i min sandlåda. Skulle du kunna kolla igenom den och ge mig några tips på formatering och andra saker jag kanske kan förbättra? --Johnviking (diskussion) 5 december 2023 kl. 11.27 (CET)
- Hej Johnviking! Formateringsmässigt är du på god väg redan. Några små detaljer: Du behöver ingen inledande rubrik, däremot ska första nämnandet av artikelnamnet, vanligen det första ordet, vara i fet stil. Sedan kan du lägga till en rubrik för referenslistan också.
- Som ett mer allmänt tips kan du jämföra med artikeln på andra språk och få inspiration, eller i alla fall se till att de inte motsäger varandra. Engelska artikeln säger till exempel "The Moon Village.. is neither an ESA project nor a program..". ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 5 december 2023 kl. 13.12 (CET)

Frågor från LinkBoi (14 december 2023 kl. 21.10)
[redigera wikitext]Hej,
Jag fixar lite med Yung Leans wikipedia nu & fått in lite flyt i att redigera sidor nu. Hans albums är döpta olika nu t.ex. xxxx (musikalbum) jämfört med xxx (Musikalbum av Yung Lean). Jag tänkte att det blir bättre om alla album kör med samma standardisering o benämns xxx (Musikalbum av Yung Lean) , skapar det problem att jag flyttar sidorna nu när dom är kopplade till wikidatabaser o allt vad det heter?
Mvh Link --LinkBoi (diskussion) 14 december 2023 kl. 21.10 (CET)

Wikimedians for Sustainable Development - December 2023 Newsletter
[redigera wikitext]Dear Wikimedians for Sustainable Development,
As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that has been an uneven year for our user group. While the journey has been marked by some truly inspiring events, most of our efforts have been largely uncoordinated and the user group hasn't been the support it could have been. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope and a world of potential for 2024.
Highlights of 2023:
- Newsletters Galore
- We kicked off the year with zeal, sharing updates and inspiration through four newsletters. The number of things happening in the movement is astounding, but we need to rethink the format of the newsletter going into the next year.
- Growing Strong
- The Wikimedians for Sustainable Development family welcomed 33 new members in 2023. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire us, and we look forward to nurturing this community spirit in the year ahead.
- Wikimania Talks
- Our voices echoed far and wide at Wikimania, where several members of our community took the virtual stage to share insights and ideas about everything from Wikipedians-in-Residence's to open data. Your contributions showcased our commitment to sustainable development on a global scale.
- Content Creation Magic
- Throughout the year, our extended community demonstrated incredible dedication to expanding the knowledge base on Wikipedia. Countless hours were spent creating and curating content that aligns with our mission, contributing to a more sustainable digital ecosystem.
- Campaigning hard
- We saw a large variety of campaigns, from writing challenges to editathons. The willingness to experiment with new formats and partners, as well as learning from past efforts, shows great promise for the future.
Acknowledging Challenges:
While we celebrate these achievements, we acknowledge that 2023 presented its fair share of challenges. A lack of global coordination reminded us that the road to sustainable development is not always linear. However, it is precisely these challenges that fuel our determination to work together more cohesively in the coming year and proof that the user group is needed.
Hopeful Anticipation for 2024:
As we turn the page to 2024, let's carry forward the lessons learned and the successes celebrated. We are optimistic that, with renewed energy and a collective commitment, we will overcome obstacles and create an even more impactful and connected Wikimedians for Sustainable Development community.
Here's to a year of collaboration, growth, and making a lasting impact on the world through our shared passion for sustainability. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and pave the way for a brighter future.
Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!
Warm regards, User:Ainali, User:Daniel Mietchen
PS. We have started writing our yearly report, please add your activities to it.

Wikidata weekly summary #611
[redigera wikitext]Discussions
- New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)
- Upcoming: The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 17th January 2024 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group. The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the development team presents what they have been working on over the past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss important issues related to the development of Wikidata and Wikibase.
- Past
- Provenance Loves Wiki (PLW24), Jan 12th - 14th, research and data on the origin of artworks and cultural heritage and how Wikibase and Wikidata can support this.

Senaste ändringar
- Sidor som använder JSON:s innehållsmodell kommer nu använda flikar istället för mellanslag för automatiskt indrag. Detta kommer avsevärt reducera sidstorleken. [57]
- Finesser och personliga användarskript kan nu använda JavaScript-syntax som introducerats i ES6 (även känd som "ES2015") och ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki bekräftar källkoden för att skydda annan webbplatsfunktionalitet från syntaxfel och för att säkerställa att skripten är giltiga i alla webbläsare som stöds. Tidigare kunde finesser använda alternativet
requiresES6
. Detta alternativ behövs inte längre och kommer tas bort i framtiden. [58] - Bottlösenord och OAuth-konsumenter av endast ägare kan nu begränsas till att bara tillåta redigering av vissa sidor. [59]
- Du kan nu tacka redigeringar från bottar. [60]
- En statusuppdatering av Gemenskapens önskelista för 2024 har publicerats. Läs gärna och berätta vad du tycker.
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 16 januari. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 17 januari. Den kommer att finnas på alla Wikipediaspråkversioner från och med 18 januari (kalender). [61][62]
- Från och med 17 januari kommer man inte kunna logga in på Wikimedias wikier från äldre versioner av webbläsaren Chrome (versioner 51-66, släppta mellan 2016-2018). Dessutom kommer användare av iOS 12 eller Safari på Mac OS 10.14 behöva logga in separat på alla wikier. [63]
- Modulen
jquery.cookie
föråldrades förra året och ersattes med modulenmediawiki.cookie
. Ett skript har körts för att ersätta kvarvarande bruk och den här veckan kommer också temporära alias tas bort. [64]
Kommande ändringar
- Wikimedia Deutschland arbetar på att göra det lättare att återanvända referenser. De söker folk som skulle vilja ställa upp på individuella videosamtal för användarresearch under januari och februari.

Tech News: 2024-06
[redigera wikitext]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- The mobile site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to the phabricator task.
- On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity. Learn more about "action blocks". [73][74]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar). [75][76]
- Talk pages permalinks that included diacritics and non-Latin script were malfunctioning. This issue is fixed. [77]
Future changes
- 24 Wikipedias with Reference Tooltips as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make Reference Previews the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings. [78][79]

Frågor från Redemtions1999 (18 februari 2024 kl. 19.07)
[redigera wikitext]Hejsan, jag skulle verkligen behöva uppdatera sidan Tommy Deogan med följande/ uppdaterad information;
Tommy Deogan tog avstånd från både politik och sociala ändamål efter valet 2018 och tackade nej till fortsatt arbete, inklusive arbete som riksdagsledamot, efter valet 2018. Detta kommer efter hans framgångar med att öka det demokratiska valdeltagandet i Akala väckte särskild uppmärksamhet hos bland annat de lokala Stockholmsnyheter på SVT. Tommy Deogan klev bort från offentligheten och började istället mixa musik som DJ. Han har varit aktiv som DJ sedan 2021 och musikproducent sedan 2023. I början av 2024 kommer Tommy Deoghan att släppa sin egen låt, som finns på alla musikstreamingtjänster."
Barn; Liam & Chantall Brunell - Deogan Låtar släppta: "Loves echoe" & Classtrip" Genre: EDM - Big Room & Dance Hemsidor: www.deogans.com & www.deogan.com
Men varje gång raderas min text. Kan ni snälla hjälpa mig, med vad jag behöver göra?
Tack snälla --Redemtions1999 (diskussion) 18 februari 2024 kl. 19.07 (CET)
- Hej @Redemtions1999! Som nämnts på din diskussionssida så behövs källor. Sedan är det väl lit motsägelsefullt att säga att han klev bort från offentligheten om han siktar på att bli artist. Möjligtvis menar du att han avslutade sin karriär i offentlig sektor? Sedan brukar vi vara försiktiga med att uttala oss om framtiden och istället för att säga att han "kommer att" göra något kan man skriva något i stil med att "DN rapporterar att Deoghan har en planerad musikdebut på skivbolaget X den DAG MÅNAD ÅR." om det finns en trovärdig källa som har rapporterat om den kommande händelsen. Sedan vet jag inte riktigt vad du menar med den sista raden, den är totalt obegriplig. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 18 februari 2024 kl. 19.16 (CET)
- Hejsan, jag ber så mycket om ursäkt. Men tusen tack Ainali för Din hjälp - detta är Tommy Deogan som nu skriver till Dig, Stephanie är en ängel men hon är ifrån Kanada och det blir lätt galet. Jag är galet tacksam över denna -och allas hjälp i detta avseende, då jag inte riktigt fattar vad som är så viktigt med att jag gör detta nu... Tycker vi ska avvakta, om ens nämna det då det som redan står är vad som är mest relevant. Tusen tack ännu en gång -och jag ser till att allas vänliga hjälp används som riktlinjer OM det nu ens ska uppdateras något.
- Respektfullast,

Frågor från JensiFröjel (22 februari 2024 kl. 12.34)
[redigera wikitext]Hejsan! Jag har glömt hur man gör en ny artikel. Skulle vilja skriva artikeln "Gotländsk blåärt" och "Gotlandslins" Två kulturgrödor. Får jag lite handledning?
Vänliga hälsningar Jens --JensiFröjel (diskussion) 22 februari 2024 kl. 12.34 (CET)
- Början när enkel - klicka på länkarna och skriv in din text. Gotländsk blåärt Gotlandslins, sedan är frågan hu du skriver texten, men det får Ainali hjälpa med. Yger (diskussion) 22 februari 2024 kl. 13.54 (CET)
- @JensiFröjel Mitt tips är att börja kika på introduktionskursen då får du med dig alla grunder och länkar till fördjupning. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 22 februari 2024 kl. 14.53 (CET)
Wikidata-hjälp
[redigera wikitext]Hej! Jag försöker foga in wikidata:Q49094972 i wikidata:Q3297608 mha MergeItems, men får felmeddelandet "Error: Conflicting descriptions for language de." Jag blir lite konfunderad, för jag hittar inte någon tysk beskrivning i någon av posterna. Kan du hjälpa mig? Vivo (diskussion) 23 februari 2024 kl. 12.28 (CET)
- Säkert? Jag ser tyska beskrivningar hos båda objekt. Ser du texten "Alla inmatade språk"? Klicka i sådant fall på den så ser du alla språk, däribland tyska. QubeCube (diskussion) 23 februari 2024 kl. 12.48 (CET)
- Jag förstår inte vad konflikten skulle vara, så jag är oklar på hur det ska lösas. Men ska de verkligen slås samman? När jag läser Blyglete får jag intrycket att även om de ofta används synonymt så är Massicot egentligen ett snävare begrepp. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 23 februari 2024 kl. 13.32 (CET)
- QubeCube Nu när jag sitter med mobilen ser jag det, men kunde inte hitta via datorn. Där ser man även på posten Massicot att Bleiglätte är en tysk synonym, och vice versa.
- Ainali: Jag tror att du har helt rätt, och att den svenska sidan bör flyttas till bly(II)oxid och eventuellt få urbrytningar. Det verkar som att den tyska och holländska sidan har gjort så, och det bara ligger omdirigeringar kvar. Något jag får fundera på. Tack. Vivo (diskussion) 23 februari 2024 kl. 16.03 (CET)

[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Senaste ändringar
- VisualEditor i mobilen är nu standardläge för användare som inte tidigare redigerat på några få wikier. Undersökningar visar att användare som använder det här redigeringsläget är lite mer benägna att publicera ändringar som påbörjats och lite mindre benägna att få sina ändringar återställda. Användare som definierad wikitextläge som sin standard i datorvy kommer också få wikitextläge i mobilen för deras första redigering i mobilen. [91]
- mw.config
wgGlobalGroups
innehåller nu endast grupper som är aktiva på wikin. Skript behöver inte längre kontrollera om gruppen är aktiv på wikin med en API-begäran. Ett kodexempel av det ovannämnda är:if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups")))
. [92]
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 27 februari. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 28 februari. Den kommer att finnas på alla Wikipediaspråkversioner från och med 29 februari (kalender). [93][94]
Framtida ändringar
- Rättigheten att ändra redigerinstaggar (
changetags
) kommer tas bort från användare och robotar som standard på Wikimedias webbplatser. Din gemenskap kan be om att få behålla den gamla konfigurationen på din wiki innan det här händer. Skriv i det här ärendet för att behålla det för din gemenskap innan slutet av mars 2024.

Frågor från Aifos46 (11 mars 2024 kl. 17.05)
[redigera wikitext]Hej, fick just en artikel raerad och tänkte se om jag kan justera den för att få upp den igen. Kan jag hitta sidan som raderades på något sätt? --Aifos46 (diskussion) 11 mars 2024 kl. 17.05 (CET)
- Hej Aifos46! Nej, den är inte tillgänglig, och den versionen kan nog inte publiceras heller med tanke på diskussionen på din användarsida. Normalt sett skulle jag be dig att börja skriva om den från början, men först vill jag be dig att ta en titt på våra riktlinjer om intressekonflikter. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 11 mars 2024 kl. 19.45 (CET)

Tech News: 2024-11
[redigera wikitext]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar). [101][102]
- After consulting with various communities, the line height of the text on the Minerva skin will be increased to its previous value of 1.65. Different options for typography can also be set using the options in the menu, as needed. [103]
- The active link color in Minerva will be changed to provide more consistency with our other platforms and best practices. [104]
- Structured data on Commons will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost. [105]
Future changes
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [106][107]

Wikimedia Apps newsletter – First quarter of 2024
[redigera wikitext]Hello, and welcome to the app’s first newsletter in 2024!
It has been a long year; we published four editions of our newsletter, which you can go through all of them. In this edition, we will cover our work for the last quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024!
Android
[redigera wikitext]- Edit Patrol (also known as Patroller tasks on Android) has been released to Beta testers with rollback rights on Test Wiki and Indonesian Wikipedia. We had a productive meeting with Indonesian users to introduce and discuss the new patrolling tasks feature on the Android app, as we provided a detailed presentation on the feature, and collected valuable feedback from the Indonesian community to enhance the user experience.
For those interested, a meeting recording is available.
We conducted outreach to Spanish, and French Wikipedia communities during February 2024. - We hosted two synchronous community consultations & recorded a third where we shared the Edit Patrol suggested edit workflow, and showed designs for Saved messages and templates:
- Places feature is back to the Wikipedia Android app!
Places is a feature that allows you to discover articles by location.
The iOS app was able to maintain the feature via use of Apple Maps, but it was necessary for Android audiences that we continue using an open source map.
iOS
[redigera wikitext]- Suggested Edits on iOS prototype is in the experimental build. Instructions to test the feature can be found on this FAQ page.
Alt text is text associated with an image that serves the same purpose and conveys the same essential information as the image.
The app's product manager presented our team's work and prototype (iOS suggested edits) to the GLAM conference audience. All details can be found in the presentation's deck. - It is now possible to donate using Apple Pay directly from the app.
- IOS Native Editor Improvement Development is out!
You will be able to edit, find and replace, and insert links and images directly from Commons without any performance issues!
Additionally, it is now possible to edit a full article page and a talk page.
In the current quarter, we aim to engage with editors from LATAM, Spanish-speaking regions, North America, and the Caribbean to test Suggested edits and the new native editor features.
Community meetings
[redigera wikitext]- We participated in the GLAM conference in November 2023. All the details are mentioned in the iOS section of this edition from the newsletter.
- On December 1st of 2023, The Wikipedia Android team met with Indonesian users to introduce and discuss the new patrolling tasks feature on the Android app. The team provided a detailed presentation on the feature and collected valuable feedback. A meeting recording is available.
- We joined the Wiki Editoras Lx editathon on December 16th to gather feedback about an alt-text Suggested Edit task on iOS.
Attendees were generally positive about the prospect of the feature. Experienced editors thought it could be a good task for on-boarding new editors, but also a more casual way of contributing for new editors.
And you can subscribe to this newsletter.

Frågor från Jussi och mio (2 april 2024 kl. 16.22)
[redigera wikitext]Hur skriver jag en egen sida? --Jussi och mio (diskussion) 2 april 2024 kl. 16.22 (CEST)
- Hej Jussi och mio! Det beror på vad du menar med egen. Allt innehåll på Wikipedia underhålls gemensamt, så på ett sätt är inget eget. Om du menar om dig själv, så bör du inte göra det alls, se vår riktlinje om intressekonflikter. Om du menar hur du kan skapa en artikel om någon annan så får du det förklarat för dig i introduktionskursen. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 2 april 2024 kl. 16.31 (CEST)
Frågor från Wilhelmina på Uddeholm (5 april 2024 kl. 16.49)
[redigera wikitext]Hej!
Jag fick i uppdrag att uppdatera min organisations Wikipediasida med aktuella namn och siffror. Dock förstår jag att det finns en intressekonflikt i att jag redigerar sidan. Wikipedia säger att man ska meddela när det finns en intressekonflikt. Hur gör jag det? Hur fungerar det förresten när jag har gjort en ändring som ska granskas.. Vem granskar och hur kan den veta om informationen stämmer? --Wilhelmina på Uddeholm (diskussion) 5 april 2024 kl. 16.49 (CEST)
- Jag tycker att den erinran du fick var ogenomtänkt. Tack för ditt bidrag att hålla uppslagsverket uppdaterat. Din ändring låter vi ligga kvar. Draken Bowser (diskussion) 5 april 2024 kl. 17.38 (CEST)
Tekniknyheter: 2024-15
[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Senaste ändringar
- Webbläsare kan använda verktyg som kallas tillägg. Det finns nu ett Chrome-tillägg som heter Citation Needed som du kan använda för att se om det finns stöd för ett uttalande på internet i en Wikipediaartikel. Detta är ett litet experiment för att se om Wikipedia kan användas så här. Tillägget kan bara användas i Chrome på engelska eftersom det är ett litet tillägg.
- En ny funktion Återställa redigeringar har lagts till på alla wikier, tillgänglig som en användarinställning. När du aktiverat det kommer alla dina pågående redigeringar lagras i din webbläsare, och om du av misstag skulle stänga ett redigeringsfönster eller din webbläsare eller om din dator kraschar, så kommer tillfrågas om du till återställa texten som inte publicerats. Detta var önska nummer 8 i Gemenskapens önskelista 2023.
- De första resultaten från experimentet Edit check har publicerats. Edit check har nu aktiverats som standardfunktion på wikier som testat det. Berätta gärna om du vill att din wikier blir en del av den nästa aktiveringen av Edit check. [124][125]
- Läsare som använder utseendet Minerva i mobilen kommer få en avisering om en förbättring av radhöjden över i alla typografiska inställningar. [126]
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 9 april. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 10 april. Den kommer att finnas på alla Wikipediaspråkversioner från och med 11 april (kalender). [127][128]
- Nya konton och utloggade användare kommer få VisualEditor som som standardredigerare i mobilen. Detta aktiveras på alla wikier förutom den engelskspråkiga Wikipedia. [129]

Omval Admin tom 2025?
[redigera wikitext]Din admin-period går ut denna månad. Om du så önskar så är jag beredd att nominera dig för en ny period. Jag avser göra en översikt över aktivitetsnivå och en kort personlig bedömning av inriktning, se t.ex. denna nominering av Robertsilen 2024-01 eller denna nominering av Tournesol 2024-01. Om du inte önskar denna medverkan så bara du avstår från att svara på detta inlägg. Allt gott önskar / ANHN ✎ 12 april 2024 kl. 06.36 (CEST)

Problem
- Mellan 2 april och 8 april var taggen "Återställd" inte tillämpad på tillbakarullade redigeringar på wikier som använder Flagged Revisions. Dessutom granskades inte sidflyttar, skrivskydd och importer automatiskt. Detta har åtgärdats. [130][131]
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 16 april. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 17 april. Den kommer att finnas på alla wikier från och med 18 april (kalender). [132][133]
- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [134]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_age
will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [135]
Kommande ändringar
- Volontärutvecklare uppmuntras uppdatera sina verktygs och funktioners kod för att hantera tillfälliga konton. Ta reda på mer.
- Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the
abuse_filter
andabuse_filter_history
tables. Some queries might need to be updated. [136]

Tech News: 2024-17
[redigera wikitext]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- Starting this week, newcomers editing Wikipedia will be encouraged to try structured tasks. Structured tasks have been shown to improve newcomer activation and retention. [137]
- You can nominate your favorite tools for the fifth edition of the Coolest Tool Award. Nominations will be open until May 10.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 April. It will be on all wikis from 25 April (calendar). [138][139]
Future changes
- This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of Special:Min sida/vector.js to Special:Min sida/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [140]

Growth News, April 2024
[redigera wikitext]The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.
If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.
Community Configuration
[redigera wikitext]Growth features are currently configurable at Special:EditGrowthConfig
. This quarter we are working on making Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.
An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.
In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.
Experiment Results
[redigera wikitext]Add a Image experiment analysis results
The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:
- The likelihood that mobile web newcomers make their first article edit (+17.0% over baseline)
- The likelihood that they are retained as newcomers (+24.3% over baseline)
- The number of edits they make during their first two weeks on the wiki (+21.8% over baseline)
- A lower probability of the newcomers' edits will be reverted (-3.3% over baseline).
Personalized praise experiment results
This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. (T361763)
English donors encouraged to try editing
As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation (example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. (T352900)
Future work
[redigera wikitext]Annual Plan
The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. (T361657)
Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module
We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Senaste ändringar
- Diskussionssidors utseende har ändrats för följande wikier: Azerbajdzjanskspråkiga Wikipedia, Bengalispråkiga Wikipedia, Tyskspråkiga Wikipedia, Persiskspråkiga Wikipedia, Hebreiskspråkiga Wikipedia, Hindispråkiga Wikipedia, Indonesiskspråkiga Wikipedia, Koreanskspråkiga Wikipedia, Nederländskspråkiga Wikipedia, Portugisiskspråkiga Wikipedia, Rumänskspråkiga Wikipedia, Thailändskspråkiga Wikipedia, Turkiskspråkiga Wikipedia, Ukrainskspråkiga Wikipedia, Vietnamesiskspråkiga Wikipedia. Dessa wikier deltog i ett test, där 50% av användarna fick den nya designen i ett år. Då testet gav positiva resultat kommer den nya designen aktiveras på dessa wikier som standarddesign. Det går att välja dom här ändringarna i dina användarinställningar ("Visa diskussionsaktivitet"). Detta kommer också aktiveras på alla wikier under dom kommande veckorna. [141]

- Mörkt läge finns nu tillgängligt på alla wikier, på mobilläget för inloggade användare som aktiverat avancerat läge. Detta är en tidig version av funktionen. Tekniska redigerare inbjuds att leta efter tillgänglighetsproblem på sina wikier. Läs mer detaljerade riktlinjer.
Problem
- Kartographer-kartor kan använda en alternativ visuell stil utan etiketter, genom att använda koden
mapstyle="osm"

Press, articles, blog posts, videos
- Papers: MisgenderMender - A community-informed approach to interventions of misgendering.
- Videos
- Intro to Wikidata Query Service - hosted by User:Gnoeee, this comprehensive video will equip newcomers to Wikidata with the skills to effectively start querying Wikidata.
- Siobhan Leachman, NZ Citizen Scientist and Wikipedian - CitSciOz23 Keynote Speaker, this prolific editor discusses her passions and workflows for contributing and enriching Wikidata on topics as diverse as women scientists, scientific illustrators, artworks and citation data, moths and more.
- WikiSearch from Wikibase Data - Wout Geveart shows how the WikiSearch extension is using Wikibase data to explore and visualise the data in new ways.

Tool of the week
- Wikidata periodic table - Tool by User:Ricordisamoa, to browse all chemical elements available on Wikidata, with atomic number, chemical symbol, and localized label. It also includes two charts of the nuclides, with links to every isotope in Wikidata, colored by half-life or decay mode.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
- A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool. Some experience with editing Wikidata is appreciated, but no experience working with Schemas is required. If you are interested, you can sign up here. We hope to begin interviews around May 13. For more details, visit User:M.alten.tue

Frågor från Jagell (11 maj 2024 kl. 19.49)
[redigera wikitext]Hej jag har hamnat i en för mig rätt konstig diskussion om en sida jag har skapat om Munksunds pappersbruk. Är det vanligt att man inte får ange vilka certifieringar och optimeringar av produktionen som ger en ökad hållbarhet. MVH --Jagell (diskussion) 11 maj 2024 kl. 19.49 (CEST)
Tech News: 2024-20
[redigera wikitext]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word
__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__
to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [162] - If you use the user-preference "Visa förhandsgranskning utan att uppdatera sidan", then the template-page feature "Förhandsgranska sida med denna mall" will now also work without reloading the page. [163]
- Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the
alt=
attribute. This is identical in usage to thealt=
attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [164] - The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [165]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (calendar). [166][167]
- The Special:Sök results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [168]
Future changes
- In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [169]
- Two columns of the
pagelinks
database table (pl_namespace
andpl_title
) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the newlinktarget
table instead (lt_namespace
andlt_title
). In your existing SQL queries:- Replace
JOIN pagelinks
withJOIN linktarget
andpl_
withlt_
in theON
statement - Below that add
JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
- See phab:T222224 for technical reasoning. [170][171]

Senaste ändringar
- Funktionen Nuke, som låter användare massradera sidor, kommer nu på rätt sätt radera sidor som flyttats till en annan titel. [172]
- Uppladdningsguiden i Wikimedia Commons har ändrats: den övergripande utformningen har förbättrats, genom att följa ny stil och mellanrum och dess fält; fältet Bildtext är nu ett obligatoriskt fält och det finns ett alternativ för användare att kopiera sin bildtext till mediabeskrivningen. [173][174]
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 21 maj. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 22 maj. Den kommer att finnas på alla wikier från och med 23 maj (kalender). [175][176]
- HTLM som användes för att rendera alla rubriker uppdateras för att öka tillgängligheten. Detta kommer ändras den 22 maj för vissa utseenden (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia och Monobook). Testa gärna finesser på din wiki på dessa utseenden och rapportera relevanta problem så att dom kan åtgärdas innan den här ändringen utförs på alla utseenden. Utvecklarna överväger också att introducera en finess-API för att lägga till knappar till avsnittstitlar om det skulle vara användbart för verktygsutvecklare och vill gärna veta vad du tycker om detta.

- Wikidata to split as sheer volume of information overloads infrastructure, by Bluerasberry. "The split will create a WikiCite graph separate from the main Wikidata graph.

Abstract: "The contribution draws a history of the presence of the identifiers of the authority records of the URBE network libraries in Wikidata, and of the collaboration that has evolved since 2020 between the Wikidata community and the cataloguers of the URBE network libraries, relating to the harmonisation of these authority records with Wikidata and the improvement of the quality of the respective data. The first part of the contribution traces the main stages of collaboration in chronological order, while the second part of the contribution presents the main areas in which the collaboration materialises (or can materialise) in the daily authority work carried out by cataloguers in theme-based groupings".

- basionym of (taxon item of which this taxon name is a basionym (original name, for botanical and similar items) - inverse property of {{P|566}})
- land acknowledgement ()
- protonym of (taxon item of which this taxon name is a protonym (original name, for zoological taxa) - inverse property of {{P|1403}})
- replaced synonym of (taxon item which replaced this taxon name (now only a synonym) - inverse property of {{P|694}})
- student count by gender (I think there should be a way to document the number of students at a university by their gender, as data for student counts (at least if they come from GENESIS Online - german universities) contain that data divided in male and female students. I think it would make more sense to implement that as a qualifier for {{P|2196}} than implementing it as a new property as that wouldn't make old data obsolete, but also it could interfere with tools that retrieve that data automated and are then confused by having multiple counts at the same time.)
- has semantic role (item that describes a role in an event class)

Tekniknyheter: 2024-22
[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Senaste ändringar
- Flera buggar som rör den senaste uppdateringarna av Uppladdningsguiden på Wikimedia Commons har åtgärdats. För mer information, se T365107 och T365119.
- I mars 2024 lades ett nytt addPortlet API till för att låta finesser skapa nya portlets (menyer) i utseendet. I vissa utseenden kan detta användas för att skapa nedsläppsmenyer (dropdowns). Finessutvecklare uppmuntras testa det och berätta vad ni tycker.
- Viss CSS i Minerva-utseendet har tagits bort för att göra det lättare för gemenskaper att konfigurera. Gränssnittsredigare borde kontrollera renderingen på mobila enheter för aspekter som rör klasserna:
.collapsible
,.multicol
,.reflist
,.coordinates
,.topicon
. Fler detaljer finns tillgängliga om ersättnings-CSS om det skulle behövas.
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 28 maj. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 29 maj. Den kommer att finnas på alla wikier från och med 30 maj (kalender). [177][178]
- När du besöker en wiki där du inte har ett lokalt konto, kan lokala regler såsom redigeringsfilter ibland hindra att ett konto skapas. Från och med den här veckan tar MediaWiki med dina globala rättigheter i beräkningen om den ska åsidosätta sådana regler eller inte. [179]

Frågor från Emma.rydstrom (28 maj 2024 kl. 12.01)
[redigera wikitext]Hej! Jag skulle vilja göra en helt ny sida om begreppet #CirkuLärdom - jag har bra koll på att jag ska skapa högkvalitativt innehåll, länkar, källor osv. Men jag har helt enkelt inte hittat var jag går in för att göra en ny artikel. :) --Emma.rydstrom (diskussion) 28 maj 2024 kl. 12.01 (CEST)
- Hej Emma.rydstrom! Kul att du vill bidra med högkvalitativt innehåll! Om du har missat hur man skapar artiklar så antar jag att du har missat några andra av våra otaliga regler, så jag skulle rekommendera att du klickar dig igenom den korta introduktionskursen (som också innehåller hur man skapar en artikel). En av de viktiga punkterna handlar om vad som är relevant att skriva om i Wikipedia och att det framgår så fort som du publicerar första versionen. Därför kan det vara bra att börja att skriva artikeln i din sandlåda och så flyttar vi den till uppslagsverkets huvuddel när du börjar bli klar. Jag skulle egentligen också rekommendera att du börjar med att göra små redigeringar i några närliggande artiklar så att du bekantar dig med tekniken, även om sandlådan också är bra för det. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 28 maj 2024 kl. 13.05 (CEST)
- OK! Då börjar jag i introduktionen och i min sandlåda. Stort tack för hjälpen! Emma.rydstrom (diskussion) 28 maj 2024 kl. 13.39 (CEST)

[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Senaste ändringar
- Programvaran som används för att rendera SVG-filer har uppdaterats till en ny version, detta fixar flera långvariga buggar vid SVG-rendering. [185]
- HTML som används för att rendera alla rubriker har ändrats för att förbättra tillgänglighet. Det ändrades förra veckan i vissa utseenden (gamla Vector och Minerva). Testa gärna finesser på din wiki med dessa utseenden och rapportera relaterade problem så att dom kan åtgärdas innan ändringarna utförs också i Vector 2022. Utvecklarna överväger fortfarande att introducera en finess-API för att lägga till knappar i avsnittsrubriker om detta skulle vara användbart för verktygsskapare, och skulle uppskatta att få höra vad ni tycker om detta.
- HTML-markeringen som används för referenser av Parsoid ändrades förra veckan. Där Parsoid tidigare la till klassen
mw-reference-text
lägger nu Parsoid också till klassenreference-text
för bättre kompatibilitet med äldre parser. Läs mer. [186]
Problem
- Det fanns en bugg med gränssnittet Innehållsöversättning som gjorde att verktygsmenyerna visades på fel plats. Detta har nu åtgärdats. [187]
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 11 juni. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 12 juni. Den kommer att finnas på alla wikier från och med 13 juni (kalender). [188][189]
- Den nya versionen av MediaWiki inkluderar en till ändring av HTML-markeringen som används för referenser: Parsoid kommer nu generera en
<span class="mw-cite-backlink">
-"wrapper" för både namngivna och namnlösa referenser för bättre kompatibilitet med äldre parser. Gränssnittsadministratörer bör bekräfta att finesser som interagerar med referenser är kompatibla med den nya markeringen. Läs mer. [190] - På flerspråkiga wikier som använder
<translate>
-systemet finns det en funktion som visar potentiellt föråldrade översättningar tills dom uppadaterats eller bekräftats. Från och med den här veckan kommer bekräftade översättningar att loggas, och det kommer också finnas en ny användarrättighet som kan krävas för att bekräfta översättningar om gemenskapen skulle vilja ha det.

Senaste ändringar
- Folk som försöker lägga till en extern länk i VisualEditor kommer nu få omedelbar återkoppling om dom försöker länka till en domän som projektet bestämt att blockera. Se Redigeringskontroll för fler detaljer. [192]
- Det nya tillägget Gemenskapskonfigurering är tillgänglig på Test Wikipedia. Det här tillägget låter gemenskaper anpassa vissa funktioner för att tillmötesgå lokala behov. För nuvarande kan bara Growth-funktioner konfigureras, men tillägget kommer stödja andra användningsområden av Gemenskapskonfigureringar i framtiden. [193][194]
- Betafunktionen mörkt läge är nu tillgängligt på kategori- och hjälpsidor, samt fler specialsidor. Det kan förekomma kontrastproblem. Rapportera buggar på projektets diskussionssida. [195]
Problem
- Molntjänstverktyg var inte tillgängliga i 25 minuter förra veckan. Detta orsakades av en trasig hårdvarukabel i datacentret. [196]
- Förra veckan utfördes stiluppdateringar av utseendet Vector 2022. Detta orsakade oförutsedda problem med mallar, topplänkar och bilder. Ändringarna till mallar och toplänkar återställdes. De flesta problem har åtgärdats. Skulle du fortfarande stöta på några kan du rapportera dom här. [197]
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 18 juni. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 19 juni. Den kommer att finnas på alla wikier från och med 20 juni (kalender). [198][199]
- Från och med 18 juni kommer Reference Edit Check kommer aktiveras på en ny uppsättning Wikipedia-version. Denna funktion avses hjälpa nybörjare och assistera redigeringspartullerare genom att uppmuntra folk som lägger till nytt innehåll till en Wikipediaartikel att lägga till en källa när dom inte själv redan gjort det. Under ett test på 11 wikier mer än dubblerades antalet källor när Reference Check visades för folk. Reference Check kan konfigureras av gemenskapen. [200]
- E-postlistor kommer vara otillgängliga i runt två timmer på tisdag kl. 10:00-12:00 UTC. Detta för att migrera till en ny server och uppgradera dess programvara. [201]

[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Senaste ändringar
- Redigerare har kanske lagt märke till att bakgrundsfärgen mot text i visningar av skillnader och färgen hos skillnaden i byte ändrades förra veckan. Dessa ändringar syftar till att göra texten mer läslig i både ljust och mörkt läge och är en del av en större ansträngning att öka tillgängligheten. Du kan kommentera och ställa frågor på projektets diskussionssida. [202]
- Textfärgen som används för besöka länkar, hovrade länkar och aktiva länkar, ändrades också lite förra veckan för att öka tillgängligheten i både ljust och mörkt läge. [203]
Problem
- Man kan kopiera permanenta länkar till kommentarer på diskussionssidor genom att klicka på en kommentars tidsstämpel. Den här funktionen fungerade inte alltid när ämnesrubriken var väldigt lång och länken användes som en wikitextlänk. Detta har åtgärdats. [204]
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 25 juni. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 26 juni. Den kommer att finnas på alla wikier från och med 27 juni (kalender). [205][206]
- Från och med 26 juni kommer alla tidsstämplar för kommentaren på diskussionssidor på engelskspråkiga Wikipedia bli en länk, som man kan använda på alla wikier. Den här länken är en permanent länk till kommentaren. Detta gör så att användare lättare kan hitta en kommentar som någon länkat till även om kommentaren flyttats. Du kan läsa mer om den här funktionen på Diff eller på MediaWiki.org. [207]

[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Senaste ändringar
- Över dom kommande tre veckorna kommer mörkt läge bli tillgänglig för alla användare, både inloggade och utloggade, först på mobila enheter. Detta uppfyller en av önskningarna från gemenskapens mest efterfrågade önskningar, och förbättrar lågkontrastad läsning och användning och lågupplysta uppsättningar. Som en del av dessa ändringar kommer mörkt läge också fungera på användarsidor och portaler. Det finns mer information i den senaste uppdateringen från webbteamet. [208]
- Inloggade användare kan nu ställa in globala inställningar för textstorlek och mörkt läge, tack vare en kombinerad insats mellan stiftelsens team. Detta gör så att Wikimedianer enklare kan ställa in en mer konsekvent läsningsupplevelse, till exempel att bara växla en gång mellan ljust och mörkt läge för alla wikier. [209]
- If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [210][211]
- Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [212]
- Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Mandailing (
w:btm:
) [213]
Problem
- Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team. [214]
Kommande ändringar
- Please help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 2 weeks. The survey is covered by this privacy statement. Some translations are available.

Frågor från Ai.Tezzy (5 juli 2024 kl. 13.32)
[redigera wikitext]Hej Jag försöker lägga ut biografi men det hamnar i sandlådan .Vad gör jag för fel och hur kan jag få detta publiserat
Tack på förhand --Ai.Tezzy (diskussion) 5 juli 2024 kl. 13.32 (CEST)
- Hej Ai.Tezzy. Den blev flyttad dit då den inte verkade klar. Den saknar helt andrahandskällor och det är oklart om den uppfyller några av Wikipedias relevanskriterier. Med tanke på ditt användarnamn verkar det också kunna finnas en intressekonflikt. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 5 juli 2024 kl. 14.48 (CEST)

Senaste ändringar
- Wikimedias utvecklare kan nu officiellt fortsätta använda både Gerrit och GitLab efter ett beslut av Wikimedia Foundation att stödja programvaruutveckling på båda plattformar. Gerrit och GitLab är båda kodförvar som används av utvecklare för att skriva, granska och köra ut kod som stödjer den MediaWiki-programvara som wikiprojekten bygger på, samt verktyg som används av redigerare för att skapa och förbättra innehåll. Det här beslutet kommer säkra produktiviteten hos våra utvecklare och motverka problem med att granska kod från att påverka våra användare. Fler detaljer finns tillgängliga på sidan Migreringsstatus.
- The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
- Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
- Editors who have access to The Wikipedia Library can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation contacted them to restore access. You can read more about this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week.
Ändringar senare den här veckan
- This week, dark mode will be available on a number of Wikipedias, both desktop and mobile, for logged-in and logged-out users. Interface admins and user script maintainers are encouraged to check gadgets and user scripts in the dark mode, to find any hard-coded colors and fix them. There are some recommendations for dark mode compatibility to help.
Kommande ändringar
- Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the temporary accounts feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page. [215]
- Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.

Tech News: 2024-30
[redigera wikitext]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature News
- Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
- Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and Minerva skin was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to Codex by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [216]
- Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via GlobalVanishRequest. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [217]
- Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone.
- Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the Commons Impact Metrics analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [218]
Project Updates
- Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened Community Wishlist. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.

- Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on Diff.
- How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent blog post by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the WMF Future Audience initiative, where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a ChatGPT plugin and Add a Fact, to help take Wikimedia into the future.

Wikidata project GovDirectory // InterGraality
[redigera wikitext]Hi Jan, we have been trying and trying to get the nice tables to be generated with InteGraality and keep getting errors. We are trying to list the first levels of Kazakhstan (they are called "regions"). In the query service we can use
?item wdt:P31 wd:Q836672 .
and get a lovely list.
If we try and get them with InteGraality, we hit an error ("The following SPARQL query timed out or returned no result:"). There is probably some tiny thing we are missing, we tried watching [219] a number of times, but can't figure out what we are missing. This is the page we are trying to generate: [220].
Thanks for any help you can give us! WiseWoman (diskussion) 22 juli 2024 kl. 15.01 (CEST)
- I just found a difference between the video (from which I copied the code) and the Sweden page:
|grouping_threshold=1
Now it works (I hope!). Where can we find more documentation on InteGraality? --WiseWoman (diskussion) 22 juli 2024 kl. 15.30 (CEST)
- Good to hear that you got it working! The template that calls it, d:Template:Property dashboard, has pretty good documentation. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 22 juli 2024 kl. 18.59 (CEST)
- Today was the final presentations for adding governmental structures for Bhutan (Q917), Jamaica (Q766), Kazakstan (Q232), Pakistan (Q843), Paraguay (Q733), and Taiwan (Q865). Soooo many oddities they stumbled over! Reports are here. --WiseWoman (diskussion) 29 juli 2024 kl. 15.15 (CEST)
- The biggest problem encountered was how to best model ministries: Ministry of Foo (and put the country name in the label), Ministry of Foo (Country), or Ministry of Foo; located in country Country. They wished guidance on the best way to model this, some chose the first, others the second, others the third way. --WiseWoman (diskussion) 29 juli 2024 kl. 15.22 (CEST)
- For the label, it should never be something in brackets, regardless of the type of item. I think this is clear from d:Help:Label and if not, ask for clarification on that talk page. A good example is Finansdepartementet (Q1774229) which just has "Ministry of Finance" as the label, and then "ministry of the Swedish Government" in the description. ♥Ainali diskussionbidrag 29 juli 2024 kl. 15.50 (CEST)

Tech News: 2024-31
[redigera wikitext]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Editors using the Visual Editor in languages that use non-Latin characters for numbers, such as Hindi, Manipuri and Eastern Arabic, may notice some changes in the formatting of reference numbers. This is a side effect of preparing a new sub-referencing feature, and will also allow fixing some general numbering issues in Visual Editor. If you notice any related problems on your wiki, please share details at the project talkpage.
Bugs status
- Some logged-in editors were briefly unable to edit or load pages last week. These errors were mainly due to the addition of new linter rules which led to caching problems. Fixes have been applied and investigations are continuing.
- Editors can use the IP Information tool to get information about IP addresses. This tool is available as a Beta Feature in your preferences. The tool was not available for a few days last week, but is now working again. Thank you to Shizhao for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
- There are new features and improvements to Phabricator from the Release Engineering and Collaboration Services teams, and some volunteers, including: the search systems, the new task creation system, the login systems, the translation setup which has resulted in support for more languages (thanks to Pppery), and fixes for many edge-case errors. You can read details about these and other improvements in this summary.
- There is an update on the Charts project. The team has decided which visualization library to use, which chart types to start focusing on, and where to store chart definitions.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikivoyage in Czech (
voy:cs:
) [221]
Learn more
- There is a new Wikimedia Foundation data center in São Paulo, Brazil which helps to reduce load times.

Growth News, July 2024
[redigera wikitext]Community Configuration
[redigera wikitext]The Growth team released Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at Special:CommunityConfiguration
.
This new special page replaces Special:EditGrowthConfig
. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for AutoModerator (T365046) and other features will be available in the future.
You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation.
If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future!
Current work
[redigera wikitext]Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module
We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.
Future work
[redigera wikitext]Increase constructive activation on mobile
As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.
Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.
Stay informed
[redigera wikitext]Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

Tekniknyheter: 2024-32
[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Funktionsnyheter
- Den här veckan kommer två nya parser-funktioner finnas tillgängliga:
{{#dir}}
och{{#bcp47}}
. Dessa kommer minska behovet förTemplate:Dir
ochTemplate:BCP47
på Commons och låter oss släppa 100 miljoner rader från "vad länkar hit"-databaser. Redigerare på alla wikier som använder dessa mallar kan hjälpa till genom att ersätta mallar med dessa nya funktioner. Mallarna på Commons kommer uppdateras på Wikimanias Hackathon. [222][223] - Gemenskaper kan efterfråga att VisualEditor aktiveras på alla namnrymder där diskussioner förs (till exempel namnrymderna Wikipedia: eller Wikisource:) om dom känner till dom kända begränsningarna. För diskussioner kan användare redan använda Diskussionsverktygen i dessa namnrymder.
- Spårningskategorin "Sidor som använder Timeline" har bytt namn till "Sidor som använder tillägget EasyTimeline" på TranslateWiki. Wikier som har skapat kategorin lokalt bör byta namn på sin lokala skapelse för att matcha.
Projektuppdateringar
- Redigerare som hjälper till att organisera WikiProjekt och liknande samarbeten på wiki är inbjudna att dela idéer och exempel på framgångsrika samarbeten med Kampanj- och Program-teamen. Du kan fylla i en kort undersökning eller berätta vad du tycker på diskussionssidan. Teamet är särskilt intresserat av detaljer om framgångsrika samarbeten på icke-engelska wikier.
- Den nya parsern rullas ut på Wikivoyage-wikier dom kommande månaderna. Engelskspråkiga Wikivoyage och Hebreiskspråkiga Wikivoyage bytte till Parsoid förra veckan. För mer information, läs Parsoid/Parser Unification.
Ta reda på mer

Funktionsnyheter
- Redigerare och underhållare av missbruksfilter kan nu skapa en CAPTCHA-visning om ett filter överensstämmer med en redigering. Detta så att gemenskaper snabbt ska kunna svara på spam från automatiserade robotar. [224]
- Stewarder kan nu ange om globala blockeringar ska hindra användaren från att skapa konton. Innan den här ändringen från Trust and Safety Product-teamet förhindrade alla globala blockeringar att konton skapades. Detta kommer möjliggöra för stewarder att minska oavsiktliga sideffekter av globala blockeringar av IP-adresser.
Projektuppdateringar
- Nomineringarna är nu öppna på Wikitech för nya medlemmar att förnya Toolforges standardiseringskommitté. Kommittén överser Toolforges policy för rätten att förgrena och policyn för övergivna verktyg bland andra uppgifter. Nomineringarna är öppna till åtminstone 2024-08-26.

Tech News: 2024-34
[redigera wikitext]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Editors who want to re-use references but with different details such as page numbers, will be able to do so by the end of 2024, using a new sub-referencing feature. You can read more about the project and how to test the prototype.
- Editors using tracking categories to identify which pages use specific extensions may notice that six of the categories have been renamed to make them more easily understood and consistent. These categories are automatically added to pages that use specialized MediaWiki extensions. The affected names are for: DynamicPageList, Kartographer, Phonos, RSS, Score, WikiHiero. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match. Thanks to Pppery for these improvements. [226]
- Technical volunteers who edit modules and want to get a list of the categories used on a page, can now do so using the
categories
property ofmw.title objects
. This enables wikis to configure workflows such as category-specific edit notices. Thanks to SD001 for these improvements. [227][228]
Bugs status
- Your help is needed to check if any pages need to be moved or deleted. A maintenance script was run to clean up unreachable pages (due to Unicode issues or introduction of new namespaces/namespace aliases). The script tried to find appropriate names for the pages (e.g. by following the Unicode changes or by moving pages whose titles on Wikipedia start with
Talk:WP:
so that their titles start withWikipedia talk:
), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/ instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed. A full log (including pages for which appropriate names could be found) is available in phab:P67388. - Editors who volunteer as mentors to newcomers on their wiki are once again able to access lists of potential mentees who they can connect with to offer help and guidance. This functionality was restored thanks to a bug fix. Thank you to Mbch331 for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 18 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
- The application deadline for the Product & Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) has been extended to September 16. Members will help by providing advice to Foundation Product and Technology leadership on short and long term plans, on complex strategic problems, and help to get feedback from more contributors and technical communities. Selected members should expect to spend roughly 5 hours per month for the Council, during the one year pilot. Please consider applying, and spread the word to volunteers you think would make a positive contribution to the committee.

Tech News: 2024-35
[redigera wikitext]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Administrators can now test the temporary accounts feature on test2wiki. This was done to allow cross-wiki testing of temporary accounts, for when temporary accounts switch between projects. The feature was enabled on testwiki a few weeks ago. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Temporary Accounts is a project to create a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors which are no longer made public. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page.
- Later this week, editors at wikis that use FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") may notice that the indicators at the top of articles have changed. This change makes the system more consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface. [229]
Bugs status
- Editors who use the 2010 wikitext editor, and use the Character Insert buttons, will no longer experience problems with the buttons adding content into the edit-summary instead of the edit-window. You can read more about that, and 26 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
- Please review and vote on Focus Areas, which are groups of wishes that share a problem. Focus Areas were created for the newly reopened Community Wishlist, which is now open year-round for submissions. The first batch of focus areas are specific to moderator workflows, around welcoming newcomers, minimizing repetitive tasks, and prioritizing tasks. Once volunteers have reviewed and voted on focus areas, the Foundation will then review and select focus areas for prioritization.
- Do you have a project and are willing to provide a three (3) month mentorship for an intern? Outreachy is a twice a year program for people to participate in a paid internship that will start in December 2024 and end in early March 2025, and they need mentors and projects to work on. Projects can be focused on coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, research). See the Outreachy page for more details, and a list of past projects since 2013.

[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Veckans höjdpunkter
- Redigerare och volontärutvecklare som är intresserade av att visualisera data kan nu testa den nya programvaran för diagram. En tidig version finns tillgänglig på beta-Commons och beta-Wikipedia. Detta är en viktig milstolpe innan vi gör diagram tillgängliga på reguljära wikier. Man kan läsa mer om den här projektuppdateringen och hjälpa till och testa diagram.
Funktionsnyheter
- Redigerare som använder sidan Special:Oanvända mallar kan nu filtrera ut sidor som väntas ligger där tills vidare, såsom sandlådor, test-fall och mallar som alltid ersätts. Redigerare kan lägga till det nya magiska ordet
__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__
till en mallsida för att dölja den i listan- Tack till Sophivorus och DannyS712 för dessa förbättringar. [230] - Redigerare som använder verktyget Nytt ämne på diskussionssidor kommer nu påminnas att lägga till en avsnittsrubrik, detta borde minska antalet nybörjare som lägger till avsnitt utan rubrik. Du kan läsa mer om det, och 28 andra av gemenskapen inskickade ärenden som löstes förra veckan.
- Förra veckan hade några verktyg på Toolforge tillfälliga problem med att ansluta. Orsaker undersöks fortfarande men problemet har lösts för tillfället. [231]
- Översättningsadministratörer på flerspråkiga wikier, när ni redigerar översättningsenheter kan ni nu enkelt markera vilka ändringar som behöver uppdateras i översättningarna. Detta tack vare en ny rullgardinsmeny.
Projektuppdateringar
- Ett nytt utkast av en policy som diskuterar användningen av Wikimedias API:er har publicerats på Meta-Wiki. Utkasttexten behöver inte motsvara en ändringen av policyn om API:er. Kommenterar, frågor och förslag välkomnas på den föreslagna uppdateringens diskussionssida fram till 13 september eller tills diskussionerna avslutats.
Ta reda på mer
- För att lära dig mer om teknologin bakom Wikimedias projekt kan du nu titta på sessioner från teknologispåret från Wikimania på Commons.

Funktionsnyheter
- Från och med den här veckan kommer syntaxmarkerarens standardläge få nya färger som gör dem kompatibla med mörkt läge. Detta är den första av flera ändringar som kommer som en del av en större uppgradering av syntaxmarkeringen. Du kan ta reda på mer om vad som kommer på hjälpsidan. [233][234]
- Redigerare av wikier som använder Wikidata kommer nu endast meddelas av relevanta ändringar på Wikidata i sina bevakningslistor. Detta eftersom Lua-funktionerna
entity:getSitelink()
ochmw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid)
kommer förena sin logik för att spåra olika aspekter av webbplatslänkar för att minska skräpaviseringar från inkonsekvent spårning av webbplatslänkar. [235]
Projektuppdateringar
- Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes.

- Contributors of 11 Wikipedias, including English will have a new
MOS
namespace added to their Wikipedias. This improvement ensures that links beginning withMOS:
(usually shortcuts to the Manual of Style) are not broken by Mooré Wikipedia (language codemos
). [237]

[redigera wikitext]Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.
Förbättringar och underhåll
- Redigerare som är intresserade av mallar kan hjälpa till att läsa den senaste Önskelistans fokusområde, Anropa och hitta mallar, och delas med sig av återkoppling på diskussionssidan. Detta kommer hjälpa Community Tech-teamet ta rätt tekniska beslut. Alla uppmuntras också fortsätta lägga till nya önskningar.
- Den nya automatiserade sidan Special:NamespaceInfo hjälper redigerare förstå vilka namnrymder som finns på alla wikier, och några detaljer om hur dom kan konfigureras. Tack till DannyS712 dessa förbättringar. [238]
- Referenskontroll är en funktion som uppmuntrar redigerare att lägga till en citoid när dom lägger till en ny paragraf på en Wikipediaartikel. Under en kort tid tillämpades den motsvarande taggen "Redigeringskontroll (referenser) aktiverad" felaktigt för vissa redigeringar utanför huvudnamnrymden. Detta har nu åtgärdats. [239]
- En gemenskap på en wiki kan nu ändra ordningen i vilken en sidas kategorier visas på sin wiki. Förinställt är att kategorierna visas i den ordning dom lagts in i wikitexten. Med konsensus att göra det kan wikier nu begära en konfigurationsändring för att visa dom i alfabetisk ordning. [240]
- Verktygsförfattare kan nu komma åt ToolsDB:s offentliga databaser från både Quarry och Superset. Dessa databaser har alltid varit tillgängliga för alla Toolforge-användare, men är nu mer tillgängliga, då alla med ett Wikimedia-konto kan komma åt Quarry. Dessutom kan man nu skriva sökfrågor till Quarry:s interna databas från Quarry. Denna databas innehåller information om alla sökfrågor som körs och stjärnmarkeras av användare på Quarry. Denna information var redan tillgänglig via webbgränssnittet, men nu kan du skriva sökfrågor via SQL. Du kan läsa mer om detta, och 20 andra ärenden inskickade av gemenskapen som löstes förra veckan.
- Alla sidor eller verktyg som fortfarande använder dom väldigt gamla CSS-klasserna
mw-message-box
behöver uppdateras. Dessa gamla klasser kommer tas bort nästa vecka eller strax efteråt. Redigerare kan använda en global sökning för att undersöka vad som behöver ändras. Man kan använda den nyare gruppen av klassercdx-message
som en ersättning (se den relevanta Codex-dokmentationen och en exempeluppdatering), men att använda lokalt definierade klasser på wikin vore bäst. [241]
Tekniska projektuppdateringar
- Nästa vecka kommer alla Wikimedias wikier endast kunna läsas i några minuter. Detta börjar 25 september kl. 15:00 UTC (17:00 svensk tid). Detta är ett planerat byte av datacenter för underhåll. Underhållsprocessen riktar sig också till andra tjänster. Det tidigare bytet tog 3 minuter, och Site Reliability Engineering-teamen använde flera verktyg för att se till att det nödvändiga underhållsarbetet gick så snabbt som möjligt. [242]
Teknik på djupet
- MediaWiki Product Insights senaste månatliga nyhetsbrev är tillgängligt. Den här utgåvan innehåller detaljer om: forskning om krok-hanterare för att underlätta utveckling, forskning om prestandaförbättringar, arbete med att förbättra REST-API:et för slutanvändare, och mer.
- För att ta reda på mer om teknologin bakom Wikimedas projekt kan du nu titta på sessioner från teknologispåret från Wikimania 2024 på Commons. Spana den här veckan in:
- Hackathon Showcase (45 mins) - 19 korta presentationer av några Hackaton-deltagare som beskriver några projekt dom arbetat på, såsom automatiserat testande av underhållsskript, ett verktyg för att klippa videor i kommandoraden och gränssnittsförbättringar för diverse verktyg. Det finns fler detaljer och länkar tillgängliga i Phabricator-ärendet.
- Co-Creating a Sustainable Future for the Toolforge Ecosystem (40 mins) - en rundabordssamtal för verktygsunderhållare, användare och supportrar på Toolforge om hur man kan göra plattformen hållbar och hur man kan betygsätta verktygen som finns där.
