Editing News #1—July 2019

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?

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.

Future changes

• Today everyone can see IP addresses if someone edits without an account. In the future this could be more hidden. This is to protect unregistered editors so fewer can see their IP address. This would only happen after we make sure the tools for vandal fighting can still be effective. You can read more and comment.

Tech News: 2019-34

Tin tức kỹ thuật mới nhất từ cộng đồng kỹ thuật Wikimedia. Vui lòng chuyển tiếp các thay đổi này cho những thành viên khác. Không phải thay đổi nào cũng ảnh hưởng tới bạn. Bạn có thể xem bản dịch ở đây.

Tin tức Kỹ thuật

• Sẽ không có vấn đề Tin tức công nghệ vào tuần tới. Số báo tiếp theo của Tech News sẽ được gửi vào ngày 2 tháng 9 năm 2019.

Vấn đề

• Một số bộ lọc sai phạm đã ngừng hoạt động do thay đổi mã. Chỉ các biến cho hành động hiện tại sẽ hoạt động. Các biến được định nghĩa bên trong một nhánh có thể không hoạt động bên ngoài nhánh đó. Bạn có thể đọc thêm để xem cách sửa các bộ lọc.
• Chỉ có sáu tài khoản có thể được tạo từ một địa chỉ IP mỗi ngày. Từ ngày 12 tháng 8 đến ngày 15 tháng 8, mỗi ngày hai tài khoản. Điều này là do một vấn đề về bảo mật. Tiếp diễn vẫ chỉ có sáu tài khoản một ngày [25]

Thay đổi sắp tới trong tuần này

• Chỉ có thể tạo số lượng tài khoản giới hạn từ một địa chỉ IP. Địa chỉ IP chỉ có thể nằm trong danh sách trắng mới có thể tạo nhiều tài khoản khi cần. Điều này rất hữu ích cho nhiều người mới học cách chỉnh sửa. Địa chỉ IP được liệt kê trong danh sách trắng vì lý do này cũng sẽ không hiển thị CAPTCHA khi bạn tạo tài khoản. Điều này sẽ được thực hiện vào thứ Tư. [26]
• Phiên bản mới của MediaWiki sẽ được triển khai trên các wiki thử nghiệm và MediaWiki.org từ ngày 20 tháng Tám. Nó sẽ được cài đặt trên các wiki không phải là Wikipedia và trên một số Wikipedia từ ngày 21 tháng Tám, và trên mọi wiki từ ngày 22 tháng Tám (xem lịch trình).

Họp mặt

Timeless Newsletter • Issue 5

Newsletter • August 2019

Welcome to the fifth and final issue of the Timeless newsletter!

Progress was made. True story.

I am happy to announce that after about a year, this delightful project in which absolutely nothing has gone according to plan is coming to a close. Or at least, the grant-funded portion is. Which means we will now be resuming our regular schedule of random whims-based development, you probably won't notice any difference whatsoever unless you use MonoBook, and there's a report.

What's new from the past two months:

A lot less than we'd hoped, frankly. We:

• Fixed various bugs, some of which even weren't for stuff I'd just broken two patches previously.
• Resolved sundry compatibility issues for other extensions, templates onwiki, whatever, largely by removing dumb crap from the css.
• Implemented some shiny new features you'll probably hate or just never use or actually see, like click-toggled dropdowns, icons everywhere, and options to select a default layout or set an image for the site header wordmark.
• Brought the total number of open tasks on the Timeless workboard down to 70.

We also wound up with:

• Patches resulting in RelatedArticles working in MonoBook, and FlaggedRevisions showing up in Minerva, unless someone actually managed to turn that off as well. (Blame T181242.) It's possible we went a little overboard with the whole 'let's close all the tasks!' sprint.
• An unfortunate repeated discovery that themes (the Night/Winter variants I keep insisting will happen at some point) are still pretty far off on the horizon. Um.
• Possibly a quite a few more bugs coming your way. This month, and especially the past week, have been a bit of a mess, development-wise. While hopefully none of the worse issues make it to production, please keep the reports coming for whatever you do find and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can. Y'all've been amazing about this, and it's really appreciated.

And I guess that's that. I'm really bad at reporting, and this is a report. For the purposes of the grant, this was a requirement, but do you want me to keep trying to send these out?

Tech News: 2019-36

Tin tức kỹ thuật mới nhất từ cộng đồng kỹ thuật Wikimedia. Vui lòng chuyển tiếp các thay đổi này cho những thành viên khác. Không phải thay đổi nào cũng ảnh hưởng tới bạn. Bạn có thể xem bản dịch ở đây.

Thay đổi gần đây

• Bạn có thể sử dụng giao diện termbox mới nếu bạn chỉnh sửa tại Wikidata trên thiết bị di động. Như vậy có thể dễ dàng khi chỉnh sửa nhãn, mô tả và chú thích dễ dàng hơn trên các trang di động. [28]
• Phiên bản mới của MediaWiki đã được triển khai trong tuần qua.
• Sự thay đổi vị trí được công bố trước đây của liên kết "mục Wikidata" trên tất cả các wiki đã bị hủy bỏ do sự cố bộ đệm không mong muốn. [29]
• Giới hạn cho lùi sửa đã được tăng từ 10 đến 100 lùi sửa mỗi phút. [30]
• Phiên bản nâng cao của các trang đánh giá chỉnh sửa (Thay đổi gần đây, Danh sách theo dõi và Thay đổi có liên quan) hiện bao gồm hai bộ lọc mới. Các bộ lọc này dành cho "Tất cả nội dung" và "Tất cả các thảo luận". Chúng ta sẽ có thể lọc chế độ xem thành các không gian tên đó. Tuy nhiên, bộ lọc "Tất cả các thảo luận" không bao gồm các trang thảo luận giả, như các cuộc thảo luận với không gian tên: Dự án: hoặc Wikipedia: . Nhưng nó sẽ bao gồm những thay đổi xảy ra trên Thảo luận Dự án: hoặc Thảo luận Wikipedia: . [31]

Thay đổi sắp tới trong tuần này

• Phiên bản mới của MediaWiki sẽ được triển khai trên các wiki thử nghiệm và MediaWiki.org từ ngày 3 tháng Chín. Nó sẽ được cài đặt trên các wiki không phải là Wikipedia và trên một số Wikipedia từ ngày 4 tháng Chín, và trên mọi wiki từ ngày 5 tháng Chín (xem lịch trình).
• Khi bạn đăng nhập, phần mềm sẽ kiểm tra mật khẩu của bạn để xem nó có tuân theo Chính sách bảo mật không. Từ tuần này, nó cũng sẽ khiếu nại nếu mật khẩu của bạn là một trong những mật khẩu phổ biến trên thế giới. Nếu mật khẩu của bạn không đủ mạnh, vui lòng xem thay đổi mật khẩu để có mật khẩu mạnh hơn. [32]

Họp mặt

• Bạn có thể tham gia buổi họp đóng góp ý kiến Kỹ thuật trên kênh IRC. Trong buổi họp, các nhà phát triển tình nguyện sẽ có thể hỏi ý kiến đóng góp của các bạn. Buổi họp sẽ được tổ chức vào 4 tháng Chín lúc 16:00 (UTC). Xem làm thế nào để tham gia.

Các thay đổi trong tương lai

• Bạn sẽ có thể đọc nhưng không thể chỉnh sửa Wikidata trong tối đa 30 phút vào September 10 at 05:00 (UTC). [33]
• Bạn sẽ có thể đọc nhưng không chỉnh sửa một số wiki cỡ trung trong tối đa 30 phút September 17 at 05:00 (UTC). Bạn có thể xem wiki nào. [34]
• Bạn sẽ có thể đọc nhưng không chỉnh sửa một số wiki cỡ trung trong tối đa 30 phút September 24 at 05:00 (UTC). Bạn có thể xem wiki nào. [35]
• Bạn sẽ có thể đọc nhưng không thể chỉnh sửa Wikidata trong tối đa 30 phút vào September 26 at 05:00 (UTC). [36]

Structured Data - blogs posted in Wikimedia Space

There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:

• Working with Structured Data on Commons: A Status Report, by Lucas Werkmeister, discusses some ways that editors can work with structured data. Topics include tools that have been written or modified for structured data, in addition to future plans for tools and querying services.
• Structured Data on Commons - A Blog Series, written by me, is a five-part posting that covers the basics of the software and features that were built to make structured data happen. The series is meant to be friendly to those who may have some knowledge of Commons, but may not know much about the structured data project.

I hope these are informative and useful, comments and questions are welcome. All the blogs offer a comment feature, and you can log in with your Wikimedia account using oAuth. I look forward to seeing some posts over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:33, ngày 23 tháng 9 năm 2019 (UTC)

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

• You can now use more advanced editing tools on the mobile web. You can turn them on and off in your preferences in the mobile version. [41]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 October. It will be on all wikis from 17 October (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 16 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are no longer supported. This means the browsers might start looking a bit weird. They will not get security support. You can't read Wikimedia wikis in Internet Explorer on Windows XP or Windows versions that are older than Windows XP. This is because almost no one uses the browsers anymore. Supporting them made the wikis less secure for everyone else. [42]
• In the future section headings might have a share link. This is to make it easier to link to the section. You can read more and discuss.

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 API sandbox and help pages now show more clearly when API modules are marked as internal. API modules marked as internal were probably internal before. It was easier to miss. You should look for non-internal alternatives. [43]

Problems

• There is a translation tool we use on wikis with more than one language. For a few days it did not create pages for new languages when someone translated a page. The languages did not show in the language bar. This has been fixed. [44]
• The history and diffs can show wrong content. This is because of a cache problem. It will soon be fixed. [45]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 October. It will be on all wikis from 24 October (calendar).

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.

Tech News: 2019-51

Các Tin tức Kỹ thuật mới nhất từ cộng đồng kỹ thuật Wikimedia. Xin hãy thông báo cho các thành viên khác về những thay đổi này. Không phải thay đổi nào cũng ảnh hưởng trực tiếp tới bạn. Các bản dịch đã có sẵn để đọc.

Vấn đề

• Phần mở rộng Linter giúp bạn phát hiện các lỗi kĩ thuật trong bài viết. Tuần qua công cụ này không cập nhật được các tính năng mới, do một lỗi giao diện lập trình ứng dụng (API). Hiện công cụ này đã hoạt động trở lại. [61]
• Trang Đặc biệt:Danh sách theo dõi lại hiển thị thông tin sai. Công cụ này không hiển thị chính xác thay đổi nào đã được xem hay chưa được xem. Đây là một lỗi cơ sở dữ liệu. Các nhà phát triển đang tìm cách sửa. [62]

Thay đổi trong nửa sau tuần này

• Bạn sẽ có thể nhận thông báo qua email, với từng mức độ: nhận thông báo ngay, nhận tóm tắt các thông báo trong ngày hoặc tóm tắt các thông báo trong tuần. Nếu bạn chọn nhận tóm tắt các thông báo, bạn sẽ sớm được cung cấp tuỳ chọn có nhận các thông báo mà bạn đã đọc trên wiki rồi qua mail nữa hay không. [63]
• Phiên bản mới của MediaWiki sẽ được triển khai trên các wiki thử nghiệm và MediaWiki.org từ ngày 17 tháng Mười hai. Nó sẽ được cài đặt trên các wiki không phải là Wikipedia và trên một số Wikipedia từ ngày 18 tháng Mười hai, và trên mọi wiki từ ngày 19 tháng Mười hai (xem lịch trình).

Họp mặt

• Bạn có thể tham gia buổi họp đóng góp ý kiến Kỹ thuật trên kênh IRC. Trong buổi họp, các nhà phát triển tình nguyện sẽ có thể hỏi ý kiến đóng góp của các bạn. Buổi họp sẽ được tổ chức vào 18 tháng Mười hai lúc 16:00 (UTC). Xem làm thế nào để tham gia.

Các thay đổi trong tương lai

• Tính năng Cấm một phần hiện đã hoạt động ổn định và sẽ được triển khai trên đa số các wiki vào ngày 6 tháng 1 năm sau. Nếu muốn, wiki của bạn có thể xin hoãn việc triển khai tính năng này, bằng cách liên hệ với NKohli (WMF). [64]

Tin tức Kỹ thuật

• Do hiện nay đang là thời điểm kỳ nghỉ lễ Giáng sinh và năm mới, nên số tiếp theo của Bản tin Kỹ thuật sẽ được phát hành vào ngày 6 tháng 1 năm 2020.

Thay đổi gần đây

• Tất cả người dùng trang di động của Wikimedia sẽ được trang bị thêm một số tính năng mới, bao gồm: các tab riêng cho trang nội dung/trang thảo luận, menu người dùng mở rộng, liên kết truy cập trực tiếp vào trang lịch sử của bài. Những tính năng này trước đây chỉ có trong "chế độ hiển thị nâng cao".

Thay đổi trong nửa sau tuần này

• Không có phiên bản phần mềm MediaWiki nào mới được triển khai trong tuần này và tuần sau.

Các thay đổi trong tương lai

• Bạn vẫn có thể sử dụng mã setlang trong các địa chỉ URL để thay đổi ngôn ngữ giao diện của trang. Tuy nhiên, việc chuyển đổi ngôn ngữ này sẽ không xảy ra một cách tự động nữa. Thay vào đó, khi mở liên kết có dạng này, trang sẽ yêu cầu bạn xác nhận việc thay đổi ngôn ngữ. Tuy nhiên, tính năng này sẽ không hoạt động nếu trình duyệt của bạn không bật Javascript. [65]
