Datum-artikele "oontstumpe"

Leef lui,

Wiet geer woersjijnelek wèt zien väöl artikele op de Limbörgse Wikipedia nog kort. Op 't memint vaan sjrieve zien 1.591 artikele es "sjtumpke" aongemerk. Dat is neet zoe'n ramp, want laank neet allemaol zien ze extreem kort en de mieste beeje wel mie informatie en ei kort zinneke. Boe iech evels gere vaanaof wèl zien stumpkes vaan data. D'n datum steit op 't Veurblaad, en is aonklikbaar. Wee nui is op de Limbörgse Wikipedia, zal dèks d'n datum es ierste aonklikke. Es dat artikel daan mer oet e paar feitsjes besteit, is dat gein gooj reclaam.

Es iech good höb getèld zien momenteel 48 vaan de 366 datum-artikele nog stumpkes. Iech stèl veur tot we die veur 't ind vaan 't jaor allemaol wegwerke door ze oet te breie nao volweerdege artikele. V'r höbben 't geluk tot september compleet stumpkesvrij is en oktober ouch bekaans. Es v'r noe de sjouwers droonder zètte, hove die korte datum-lemmata noets mie vaanaof 't Veurblaad gelink te stoon!

The GFDL license on Commons

This has been posted here because your wiki allows local file uploads. Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok.

Commons will no longer allow uploads of photos, paintings, drawings, audio and video that use the GFDL license and no other license. This starts after 14 October. Textbooks, manuals and logos, diagrams and screenshots from GFDL software manuals that only use the GFDL license are still allowed. Files licensed with both GFDL and an accepted license like Creative Commons BY-SA are still allowed.

There is no time limit to move files from other projects to Commons. The licensing date is all that counts. It doesn't matter when the file was uploaded or created. Every wiki that allows local uploads should check if bots, scripts and templates that are used to move files to Commons need to be updated. Also update your local policy documentation if needed.

The decision to allow files that only have a GFDL license, or not allow them, is a decision all wikis can make for themselves. Your wiki can decide to continue allowing the files that Commons will no longer allow after 14 October. If your wiki decides to continue to allow files after 14 October that Commons will no longer allow those files should not be moved to Commons. — Alexis Jazz, distributed by Johan using MassMessage

Editing News #2—2018

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

Did you know?

Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device?

Tap on the pencil icon to start editing. The page will probably open in the wikitext editor.

You will see another pencil icon in the toolbar. Tap on that pencil icon to the switch between visual editing and wikitext editing.

Remember to publish your changes when you're done.

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

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has wrapped up most of their work on the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual diff tool. The team has begun investigating the needs of editors who use mobile devices. Their work board is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are fixing bugs and improving mobile editing.

Recent changes

• The Editing team has published an initial report about mobile editing.
• The Editing team has begun a design study of visual editing on the mobile website. New editors have trouble doing basic tasks on a smartphone, such as adding links to Wikipedia articles. You can read the report.
• The Reading team is working on a separate mobile-based contributions project.
• The 2006 wikitext editor is no longer supported. If you used that toolbar, then you will no longer see any toolbar. You may choose another editing tool in your editing preferences, local gadgets, or beta features.
• The Editing team described the history and status of VisualEditor in this recorded public presentation (starting at 29 minutes, 30 seconds).
• The Language team released a new version of Content Translation (CX2) last month, on International Translation Day. It integrates the visual editor to support templates, tables, and images. It also produces better wikitext when the translated article is published. [1]

Let's work together

• The Editing team wants to improve visual editing on the mobile website. Please read their ideas and tell the team what you think would help editors who use the mobile site.
• The Community Wishlist Survey begins next week.
• If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Danke!

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web

Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok

Example of improvements

Hello,

In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.

What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.

For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.

If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.

Danke!

FileExporter beta feature

Coming soon: the beta feature FileExporter

A new beta feature will soon be released on all wikis: The FileExporter. It allows exports of files from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, including their file history and page history. Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.

The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page.

As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

Talk to us about talking

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.

We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.

You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:

1. First, sign up your group here.
2. Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
3. Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
   1. When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
   2. What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
   3. What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
   4. What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
   5. What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
4. Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.

You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.

Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.

You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.

Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Reisbeurzen voor Wikimania

Van 14-18 augustus vindt in Stockholm Wikimania plaats, de jaarlijkse internationale bijeenkomst van de Wikimediagemeenschap. Actieve Wikimedianen kunnen bij Wikimedia Nederland een beurs aanvragen voor deelname aan Wikimania. Dit kunnen volledige beurzen zijn voor reis, entree én verblijf, of een beurs voor een deel van de kosten.

Net als vorig jaar zou Wikimedia Nederland graag naast ervaren Wikimania-bezoekers ook tenminste twee Wikimedianen willen steunen die nog nooit naar Wikimania zijn geweest. Wil je Wikimania (misschien voor het eerst) meemaken, dan kun je met dit formulier een beurs aanvragen. Aanvragen moeten voor 1 juni worden ingediend.

Zoals altijd: je hoeft geen lid te zijn van Wikimedia Nederland om voor een beurs in aanmerking te komen. Sandra Rientjes - Wikimedia Nederland (euverlègk) 16 mei 2019 13:03 (CEST)

Wikidata Bridge: edit Wikidata’s data from Wikipedia infoboxes

Sorry for writing this message in English - feel free to help us translating it :)

Hello all,

Many language versions of Wikipedia use the content of Wikidata, the centralized knowledge base, to fill out the content of infoboxes. The data is stored in Wikidata and displayed, partially or completely, in the Wikipedia’s language, on the articles. This feature is used by many template editors, but brought several issues that were raised by communities in various places: not being able to edit the data directly from Wikipedia was one of them.

This is the reason why the Wikidata Bridge project started, with the goal of offering a way to Wikipedia editors to edit Wikidata’s data more easily. This will be achieved by an interface, connected to the infobox, that users can access directly from their local wiki.

The project is now at an early stage of development. A lot of user research has been done, and will continue to be done through the different phases of the project. The next steps of development will be achieved by the development team working at Wikimedia Deutschland, starting now until the end of 2019.

In order to make sure that we’re building a tool that is answering editors’ needs, we’re using agile methods in our development process. We don’t start with a fixed idea of the tool we want to deliver: we will build it together with the editors, based on feedback loops that we will regularly organize. The first version will not necessarily have all of the features you want, but it will keep evolving.

Here’s the planned timeline:

• From June to August, we will build the setup and technical groundwork.
• From September to November 2019, we will develop the first version of the feature and publish a test system so you can try it and give feedback.
• Later on, we will test the feature on a few projects, in collaboration with the communities.
  • We will first focus on early adopters communities who already implemented a shortcut from their infoboxes to edit Wikidata (for example Russian, Catalan, Basque Wikipedias)
  • but we also welcome also communities who volunteer to be part of the first test round.
  • Then we will reach some of the big Wikipedias (French, German, English) in order to see if the project scales and to address their potentially different needs.
  • Even later, we can consider enabling the feature on all the other projects.

In any case, no deployment or big change will be enforced on the projects without talking to the communities first, and helping the template builders to prepare for the changes they will have to do on the infoboxes’ code.

If you want to get involved, there are several ways to help:

• Read and help translating the documentation pages
• Follow the updates and participate in the first feedback loop
• Talk about it with your local community

More ideas will be added on this page along the way

If you have any questions for the development team, feel free to ask them on the main talk page. You can also ask under this message, but if you expect an answer from me, please make sure to ping me.

Thanks for your attention, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 24 jun 2019 15:03 (CEST)

Did you know?

Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device?

Every article has a pencil icon at the top. Tap on the pencil icon to start editing.

Edit Cards

This is what the new Edit Cards for editing links in the mobile visual editor look like. You can try the prototype here: 📲 Try Edit Cards.

Welcome back to the Editing newsletter.

Since the last newsletter, the team has released two new features for the mobile visual editor and has started developing three more. All of this work is part of the team's goal to make editing on mobile web simpler.

Before talking about the team's recent releases, we have a question for you:

Are you willing to try a new way to add and change links?

If you are interested, we would value your input! You can try this new link tool in the mobile visual editor on a separate wiki.

Follow these instructions and share your experience:

📲 Try Edit Cards.

Recent releases

The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the mobile site. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:

1. Section editing
   • The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
   • The team studied this with an A/B test. This test showed that contributors who could use section editing were 1% more likely to publish the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
2. Loading overlay
   • The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.

Section editing and the new loading overlay are now available to everyone using the mobile visual editor.

New and active projects

This is a list of our most active projects. Watch these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.

• Edit cards: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles. You can try this feature now. Go here to see how: 📲 Try Edit Cards.
• Mobile toolbar refresh: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
• Mobile visual editor availability: This A/B test asks: Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor? We are collaborating with 20 Wikipedias to answer this question.
• Usability improvements: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use. The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.

Looking ahead

• Wikimania: Several members of the Editing Team will be attending Wikimania in August 2019. They will lead a session about mobile editing in the Community Growth space. Talk to the team about how editing can be improved.
• Talk Pages: In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin improving talk pages and communication on the wikis.

Learning more

The VisualEditor on mobile is a good place to learn more about the projects we are working on. The team wants to talk with you about anything related to editing. If you have something to say or ask, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Hello all,

Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.

This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.

For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.

Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.

Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 16 aug 2019 10:03 (CEST)

New tools and IP masking

Hey everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.

We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.

You can post in your language if you can't write in English.

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started

Hello,

In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".

Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October.

How can you help?

• Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);

• Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or

• Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.

We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project

Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok

Haj. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.

We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.

We would like individual feedback on the following:

• Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
• Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
• Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far

We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.

When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:

• Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
• Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
• Put things in logical and useful places
• Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
• Eliminate clutter
• Plan for future growth

As well as the following constraints:

• Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
• Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain
• No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors

Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements

After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.

Danke! Quiddity (WMF) (talk)

Beta feature "Reference Previews"

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

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

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

Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages

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

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

Help

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

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

Talk pages project

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

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

Mobile visual editor

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

Edit Cards

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

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

Toolbar

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

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

Wikimania

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

Looking ahead

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

Wie sorteerste 'nen Ieslander?

Iech höb zoezjus 'n artikel gesjreve euver de briljanten Ieslandse cartoonis Hugleikur Dagsson. Es geer e bitteke vaan zwarten humor haajt: googelt häöm! Meh wat iech wouw vraoge: wie mote v'r zoe iemes sortere? Wie v'r wete höbbe ze in Iesland euver 't algemein gein echte achternaome, allein patronieme. Dagsson is dus gewoen de zoon vaan Dagur; zien eventueel kinder zouwe 'Hugleiksson' daan wel 'Hugleiksdóttir' hete. De veurnaom weurt in dee cultuur belaankrieker gevoonde. Mote v'r 'm oonder de H zètte, wie 'nen Ieslander zouw doen, of oonder de D, boe 'ne Limbörger häöm ieder zouw zeuke? Steinbach (euverlègk) 30 nov 2019 22:36 (CET)

Tot 't praktischer is, dao kinne v'r 't euver ins zien. Meh good, daan sortere v'r op 't patroniem. @Owtb: Chinese naome beginne mèt de familienaom. Veural vreuger woort die volgorde in westerse publicaties wel ins umgedrejd, wie dat ouch gebäört mèt Hongaarse naome. Bij die naome liek 't miech wel aongeweze um op de femilienaom te sortere; dat doen aander Wikipedia's ouch. Steinbach (euverlègk) 5 dec 2019 12:46 (CET)

Den doon v'r 't zoea :) --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 5 dec 2019 15:41 (CET)

Kint noe ouch nl:Sjabloon:Wikinewscat nog veur hie gesjikt gemaak waere? De Wikischim (euverlègk) 5 fib 2020 11:02 (CET)

Hun es oonderwerp: maag dat in 't plat?

Dat is fout, dat wete v'r allemaol, meh 't weurt wel gezag. Ouch in 't Limbörgs. Entans: in groete deile vaan Limbörg. Volgens 'n oonderzeuk zouw 't roond Swalmen hiel väöl weure gezag en in Eisde gaaroet neet. Wie daan ouch, iech höb 't Limbörgers vaan boete Mestreech wel ins hure zègke. En iech höb 't welins op de Limbörgse Wikipedia gezeen. In 't artikel snus, gesjreve in 't Baeks, stoont 't e paar kier, meh in 2011 höb iech dat gecorrigeerd. Noe is mien vraog: bin iech neet te streng gewees? Taol veraandert, dialekte zoe good wie cultuurtaole, en 't sjieke aon de Limbörgse Wikipedia is toch zjus totste de taol rech oet de volksmoond kins opsjrieve? Dus wat tunks uuch: mote v'r zoe'n constructies touwlaote of neet? Steinbach (euverlègk) 13 fib 2020 12:36 (CET)

Ich bön dao taenge. Taal verangert inderdaad, meh van 'ne Limbörgse Wikipedia maag me gerös get mieë kwaliteit verwachte. Dao zeen luuj die eder verkleinwaord (of zelfs mieëvaad) oet 't Nederlandjs trèkke: Ich bön gistere nog met de kindjes nao de speeltuin gewaes, wo hun op de schommel hebbe gezaete etc. Veer passen ouch foute inne geslech enne adjectiefverbuginge aan, óndanks det e groeat deil vanne Limbörgers die regelkes gaar nimmieë wètj (smale jónges, 't maedje die, 'ne vrouw). Es se-n in eder verangering mitgeis, zeen v'r euver fieftig jaor d'n Hollenjer mit allein get regelmaesig klankverangeringe. --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 13 fib 2020 19:21 (CET)

Op de Nederlandjse WP wurt 't gesjreve gebroek van hun es óngerwerp al neit ens toegestaon. Den motte veer 't hie al hielemaol neit wille, toch? De Wikischim (euverlègk) 13 fib 2020 21:06 (CET)

@Owtb: iech snap die punt en iech bin 't natuurlek ins tot v'r in principe batavismes boete de deur mote hawwe. Meh dit is wel aanders. Hun es oonderwerp kump al-evel oet 't weste, meh neet oet de standaardtaol. 't Is 'n taolveraandering die 'euver de groond' häöre weeg nao 't Limbörgs heet gevoonde, en neet 'vaanoet de loch' (parachuting). (Dat bliek wel oet wieväöl 't gezag weurt in Braobant en 't Riek vaan Nimwege.) 't Is dus gein sumpel 'oethaoling' vaan 't Limbörgs.

@De Wikischim: Dien vergelieking geit wmb neet op. 't Nederlands, en naovenant ouch de Nederlandstaolege Wikipedia, hanteert 'n standaardtaol boe me ziech aon te hawwe heet. Es dee norm get verbeujt, is de discussie veurbij. Hei make v'r de norme zelf. Daan zalle v'r dus noe en daan mote discussiëre euver wie streng de norm (neet) is. Steinbach (euverlègk) 13 fib 2020 22:22 (CET)

Det is waal van mieë verangeringe te zègke; döks beginne de verangeringen in 't naorden en zakke ze nao 't zuje aaf (wie 't ómboewe vanne adjectieve nao Braobantjs medèl, waat in Vinlo ieëre kwaam es wie 't noe in Remunj gebeurt). In det val liek mich 't 't bèste hun ummer te blieve waere, tenzij 't in 't lokaal(ste) waordebook steit. 't Zjwaams Waordebook zaet ziej en häör (objek), dus hun is fout. --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 14 fib 2020 08:18 (CET)

Hun es óngerwerp kumt dökker vuur. Beruch is natürlig 't Heëlesj Hollesj, mar 't versjiensel is óch durchgedrónge in 't plat van de Oeëstelige Miensjtreek. OWTB hat wat mich betruf rech: went 't toch neet in de woadbeuk sjteet, dan kins te beëter trükhaodend blieve.

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages

Sorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.

You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) 26 fib 2020 15:15 (CET)

Europees Parlemint: Fracties en partije

Es iech eve tied höb wil iech gaon beginne aon artikele euver de Europese fracties en partije binne 't Europees Parlemint, wie de Europese Volkspartij (EVP). Iech stèl veur tot veer de fracties en partije neet individueel artikele geve mer samesmelte tot gezameleke artikele. De EVP-partij en de EVP-fractie op ein artikel, dus beveurbeeld:

"De Europese Volkspartij is 'n partij en fractie binne 't Europees Parlemint".

Dat doen de meiste aander Wikipedia's neet. Hei twie reies boerum iech dao vaan wil aofwieke:

• In de media zoe-ouch in de algemeine polletieke discours binne de EU weure de fracties en partije dooreint gebruuk. Es beveurbeeld Politico of de NRC euver de EVP sjrijf, weurt noets e versjil gemaak tösse fractie en partij. Euver partije die 'nen aandere naom höbbe es de fractie (wie PES veur S&D) weurt überhaup neet väöl gesjreve. S&D weurt dèks (foutief) gezien es de sociaaldemocratische partij umtot die de inngeste is mèt polletiek beteikenis. 't Zien immers de fracties die polletieke invlooj höbbe binne de EU en zie mage ouch Eurocommissarisse oetkeze es zie in coaltie gaon mèt aander fractie um 'n Europese Kemissie te vörme.
• Dit is 'n kleine Wikipedia, 'n artikel veur edere fractie vin iech eigelek wel genog. Die Euro-partije zien eigelek veural belaangriek umtot ze deil oet make vaan fracties.

Es de partij en de fractie neet dezelfde naom höbbe kin iech 't zoe oplosse:

"De Progressieve Alliantie vaan Socialiste en Democrate (S&D; Nederlands: ..., Duits: ..., Frans: ..., Ingels:...) is 'n fractie binne 't Europees Parlemint. Bekans alle nationaal partije binne die fractie zien ouch deil vaan de Europese partij Partij vaan Europese Socialiste (PES), sommege nationaal partije zien evels oonaofhaankeleke partije binne de fractie gebleve. Toch höbbe ouch zie te make mèt 'n zekere maote vaan fractiediscipline."

Laot meh weite of g'r 't hei mèt ins zeet.

--Zeiverklaos (euverlègk) 24 apr 2020 10:59 (CEST)

Ich höb mich noeatj zoea besjeftig mitte Europese politiek, dus ich kan hie neet zoväöl euver kwiet. Ich dink waal det v'r saortgelieke dinger waal dökker doon inne trant van "Wèssem (dörp)"/"Wèssem (gemeinte)" > "Wèssem". --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 24 apr 2020 13:20 (CEST)

Limbörgs veur "gokken"

Leef lui, iech mós heiaon dinke wie iech in 't Nuits get euver Macau touwveugde: wat zouw d'r in 't plat zègke tege 'gokken'? Iech höb gekoze veur speule, meh dat is natuurlek neet ummer dujelek: este nao Las Vegas geis "veur te speule" kin dat in theorie ouch in de plaotseleke zandbak zien. Of mesjiens biste wel 'ne muzikant dee dao in e hotel kump optrejje. En 't punt is: 'gokken' steit neet in de Nuie Mestreechsen Dictionair en stoont ouch neet in d'n online dictionair vaan 't AGL. Dus wat tunks uuch? Steinbach (euverlègk) 26 mei 2020 13:53 (CEST)

"gokken" vèltj óngere groep "boevetaal"/"Begoons" en die zeen v'r ouch hieël riek in 't Limburgs. Zelf gebroek en huuer ich 't waord "gokke" geregeldj es ich plat kal en euvere päöl dörve ze waal "wèdde" zègke. Es se per se get anges wils zóds se "kans spele" kónne gebroeke, meh det is neet zoea algemein. --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 26 mei 2020 14:27 (CEST)

Aoh, merci. Wètste, in 't Hollands is gokken allaank gein Bargoens mie. Edereine gebruuk 't, zelfs in de beteikenis vaan 'denao raoje' (Ik doe maar een gok). Of dat in 't plat ouch zoe is, waor natuurlek de vraog. Wat wèdde betröf: is dat neet mer 'ne beperkde vörm vaan gokke? Gokke bij de peerdsrace is wèdde, roulette speule ouch, meh aon de loterij mètdoen of poker speule neet. Veur miech mooste veur 'wèdde' diech zelf 'n concrete optie oetzeuke boe 't loot op kin valle. Steinbach (euverlègk) 26 mei 2020 14:40 (CEST)

"gokke" blief bie ós van aadshaer oet bepirk toet 't kansspeel, mer allewiel huuers se-n 't ónger invlood vanne standerdspraok netuurlik ouch es "raoje", en nag erger es "dinke"/"vermoeden" (via 't Nederlandjs vanoet 't Ingels "guess"), teenkrómmendj bieje jeug in 't zinke "Ich gok zoea"...

The new features include a toolbar. What do you think should be in the toolbar?

This issue of the Editing newsletter includes information the Talk pages project, an effort to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily.

• Reply tool: This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias). The Beta Feature is called "Overleghulpmiddelen". The Beta Feature will get new features soon. The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing @. You can test the new features on the Beta Cluster now. Some other wikis will have a chance to try the Beta Feature in the coming months.
• New requirements for user signatures: Soon, users will not be able to save invalid custom signatures in Special:Preferences. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable. Most editors will not be affected.
• New discussion tool: The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions. You can see the initial design on the project page.
• Research on the use of talk pages: The Editing team worked with the Wikimedia research team to study how talk pages help editors improve articles. We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

Annual contest Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos

Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP)

This is to invite you to join the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) campaign to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and win prizes. The campaign starts today 1st July 2020 and closes 31st August 2020.

The campaign primarily aims at using images from Wikimedia Commons on Wikipedia articles that are lacking images. Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.

Please visit the campaign page to learn more about the WPWP Campaign.

With kind regards,

Thank you,

More than 50 million edits have been made using the visual editor on desktop.

Seven years ago this month, the Editing team offered the visual editor to most Wikipedia editors. Since then, editors have achieved many milestones:

• More than 50 million edits have been made using the visual editor on desktop.
• More than 2 million new articles have been created in the visual editor. More than 600,000 of these new articles were created during 2019.
• The visual editor is increasingly popular. The proportion of all edits made using the visual editor has increased every year since its introduction.
• In 2019, 35% of the edits by newcomers (logged-in editors with ≤99 edits) used the visual editor. This percentage has increased every year.
• Almost 5 million edits on the mobile site have been made with the visual editor. Most of these edits have been made since the Editing team started improving the mobile visual editor in 2018.
• On 17 November 2019, the first edit from outer space was made in the mobile visual editor. 🚀 👩‍🚀
• Editors have made more than 7 million edits in the 2017 wikitext editor, including starting 600,000 new articles in it. The 2017 wikitext editor is VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode. You can enable it in your preferences.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia

Hi all,

It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new.

This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world.

The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language.

As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation . We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams.

It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project.

We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions.

There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list . We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path.

Yours,

Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation)

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC): we want to hear from you.

Haj. Apologies that you may not be reading this message in your native language: translations of the following message may be available on Meta. Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok. Danke!

At times, our contributor communities and projects have suffered from a lack of guidelines that can help us create an environment where free knowledge can be shared safely without fear. There has been talk about the need for a global set of conduct rules in different communities over time.

Recently, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees announced a Community Culture Statement, asking for new standards to address harassment and promote inclusivity across projects.

The universal code of conduct will be a binding minimum set of standards across all Wikimedia projects, and will apply to all of us, staff and volunteers alike, all around the globe. It is of great importance that we all participate in expressing our opinions and thoughts about UCoC and its values. We should think about what we want it to cover or include and what it shouldn’t include, and how it may create difficulties or help our groups.

This is the time to talk about it. Before starting drafting the code of conduct, we would like to hear from you and to solicit the opinions and feedback of your colleagues. In order for your voice to be heard, we encourage and invite you to read more about the universal code of conduct (UCoC) and then write down your opinions or feedback on the discussion page.

To reduce language barriers during the process, you are welcome to translate the universal code of conduct main page from English into your respective local language. You and your community may choose to provide your opinions/feedback using your local languages.

Thanks in advance for your attention and contributions, The Trust and Safety team at Wikimedia Foundation 22 jul 2020 18:42 (CEST)

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis

The FileExporter and FileImporter will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work?

Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.

Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's configuration file which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.

Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.

If you want to know more about the FileImporter extension or the Technical Wishes Project, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team:

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

They will switch all traffic to the secondary data centre on Tuesday, September 1st 2020.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

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

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, September 1st. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2).
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• There will be code freezes for the week of September 1st, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community.

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion

Haj!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok. According to the list, your wiki project currently is opted in to the global bot policy. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards.

As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links.

A proposal was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, global sysops and global renamers, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like ListeriaBot.

By this message, I would like to invite you to comment in the global RFC, to voice your opinion about this matter.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist

Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!

As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.

Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.

This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.

Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.

If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

Mèt wat veur Limbörgs bis tiech opgetrokke? Groete kans tot 't dialek vaan dien plaots hei wel örges te vinden is. En aanders kinste väöl höbbe aon dit blaad. De kemissie is: good nao diech zelf luustere en opsjrieve watste huurs. In 't begin liekent dat allemaol gans ingewikkeld, meh nao korten leuste zoe dedoorheen.

Project Grant Open Call

This is the announcement for the Project Grants program open call that started on January 11, with the submission deadline of February 10, 2021.
This first open call will be focussed on Community Organizing proposals. A second open call focused on research and software proposals is scheduled from February 15 with a submission deadline of March 16, 2021.

For the Round 1 open call, we invite you to propose grant applications that fall under community development and organizing (offline and online) categories. Project Grant funds are available to support individuals, groups, and organizations to implement new experiments and proven ideas, from organizing a better process on your wiki, coordinating a campaign or editathon series to providing other support for community building. We offer the following resources to help you plan your project and complete a grant proposal:

• Weekly proposals clinics via Zoom during the Open Call. Join us for #Upcoming_Proposal_Clinics|real-time discussions with Program Officers and select thematic experts and get live feedback about your Project Grants proposal. We’ll answer questions and help you make your proposal better. We also offer these support pages to help you build your proposal:
• Video tutorials for writing a strong application
  
• General planning page for Project Grants
  
• Program guidelines and criteria
  

Program officers are also available to offer individualized proposal support upon request. Contact us if you would like feedback or more information.

We are excited to see your grant ideas that will support our community and make an impact on the future of Wikimedia projects. Put your idea into motion, and submit your proposal by February 10, 2021!
