Коллеги! Давно уже можно заменить систему шаблонов "Вавилона" (
Babel
}}
) и пр.) на вызов расширения "Babel". Т.е. на странице участника можно писать что-то вроде:
{{#babel:xx|yy-1|zzz-0}}
(см. мою страничку участника). Проблема тут в том, что по умолчанию этот вызов не добавляет страницу участника в категории вида
Категория:User sah
Чтобы включить автоматическую категоризацию и мигрировать на это расширение, нужно создать баг по образцу вот этого:
bugzilla:47749
(для удмуртского раздела), сославшись на положительный консенсус в сообществе (нужно сделать анонс на форуме).
Я советую всё это проделать. --

Доброго времени, Александр. При переводе интерфейса этого сайта столкнулся с такой проблемой - не могу перевести название портала на языке Саха (sah). Сейчас в баре навигации (колонка слева) при установке якутского интерфейса отображается вот такая ссылка "якутский портаал". Было бы правильнее "Саха портаал". Не подскажете, где размещен список языков для локализации? Или где он должен быть размещен, чтобы сервер при установке соответствующего интерфейса мог оттуда брать сахаязычный вариант. --

прошу прощения, за запоздалый ответ. Насколько я знаю, названия языков берутся из проекта

Возможно я неправильно задал вопрос, а может не понял Вашего ответа;-) Попробую еще раз сформулировать. Вот например, если я установлю английский интерфейс, то русский язык будет отображаться как russian language, если установлю русский интерфейс, то - "русский язык", а если установлю якутский интерфейс он должен был бы отображаться - "нуучча тыла", а на деле отображается "русский тыла" или "russian тыла". Или на сайте приведённом Вами есть названия языков на разных языках, и можно попросить чтобы добавили список и на якутском языке? --

I apologize for writing in English. Please translate this message so that all of your editors can read it. Thank you!
Hi everybody, my name is Erica, and I am a Community Liaison at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm writing to you because the
Editing team at WMF
wants to know what you think about
VisualEditor
and its new
⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽
tool. This change will affect all users on
about 50 Wikipedias
, including your Wikipedia. Many editors at these Wikipedias need a special character tool to be able to write articles correctly, which is why we are asking you now.
The new special character inserter tool is available in VisualEditor now. Admins at your wiki can change the contents by following
the directions at mediawiki.org
New design for the special character inserter. The red arrow points to the button for the tool, which is marked with Ω (omega).
To test the
⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽
tool
, please:
Opt-in to VisualEditor
by going to
Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures
and choosing "
VisualEditor
". Save your preferences.
Edit any article or your user page
in VisualEditor by clicking on the new "
Уларыт
" tab at the top of the page. See the
mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide
for information on how to use VisualEditor.
Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested
at
the feedback thread on Mediawiki.org
. The developers would like to know what you think about this new design. It is important that they hear from as many editors as possible. You may leave your comments in any language.
When the special character tool has been refined a little more based on your thoughts, we will offer VisualEditor by default to all editors at
this
wiki. If you want to help prepare, please read
the advice on mediawiki.org
Thank you,

Hello again. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you can translate this message!
VisualEditor
is coming to all editors at this Wikipedia on Monday, March 30th.
VisualEditor
is software that allows people to edit articles without needing to learn wikitext code (like typing
[[
to start a link). You don't have to wait until the deployment to test it;
you can test
VisualEditor
right now.
To turn it on, select
"Beta"
in your preferences. Choose "
VisualEditor
" and click save.
Now, when you press the "
Уларыт
" button to edit an article, you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press "

Click this icon while in VisualEditor for a link to the
User Guide
Hello again (and again, apologies for using English on this page. Please do translate my message, if you can!).
As some of you have noticed,
this Wikipedia now has
VisualEditor
(VisualEditor or "VE") enabled for all users
. There are now two tabs for editing: "
Уларыт
" and "
Биики-тиэкиһи уларыт
". Click "
Уларыт
" to use VisualEditor. Click "
Биики-тиэкиһи уларыт
" to edit using wikitext markup.
All edits using VisualEditor will be tagged with "Tag:
VisualEditor
" in recent changes, watchlists, and page histories. To access the
User Guide for VisualEditor
, click on the "(?)" icon in VisualEditor's toolbar. If you wish to disable VisualEditor, this can be done under
"Editing" in your preferences
Please report any software "bugs" or errors you find at
MediaWiki’s VisualEditor Feedback page
. Translations for the user interface and its help guide are still needed: you can
learn how to support your community with this and other tasks at
this instructions page
. Please contact me if you need further help though. Happy editing,

VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and
network speed
by almost 40%.
The Editing team is slowly adding
auto-fill features
for citations
. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The
Citoid service
takes a
URL
or
DOI
for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for
ISBNs
PMIDs
, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.
Citoid requires good
TemplateData
for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the
Citoid project on Phabricator
. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
The
special character inserter
has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the
Phase 5
list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including
Afrikaans
Azerbaijani
Breton
Kyrgyz
Macedonian
Mongolian
Tatar
, and
Welsh
Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use
input method editors
("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.
The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the
"packed" mode in image galleries
. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.
You can now
drag and drop categories
to re-arrange their order of appearance on the page.
The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.
Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon
so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.
Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (
T90734
Looking ahead
биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted
at mediawiki.org
The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon. (

Recent improvements

Auto-fill features
for citations
are available at a few Wikipedias through the
citoid service
. Citoid takes a
URL
or
DOI
for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (
⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto⧽
⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual⧽
, or
⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse⧽
). The cite button is now labeled with the word "
⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽
" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "
⧼Citoid-citeFromIDDialog-lookup-button⧽
", for the submit button.
The
link tool
has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector. (

The
special character inserter
in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list
at mediawiki.org
. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (
T70425
Several improvements have been made to
templates
. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "
⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽
" each time they want to add another parameter. (
T95696
) The team added a
new property for TemplateData
, "
Пример
", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (
T53049
The
design
of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.
The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of
non-existent images
. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.

For
interface messages
(translated at
translatewiki.net
), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (
+21.7%
). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).
For
documentation messages
(on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (
+20.3%
). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).
We published some graphs
showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.

Auto-fill features for citations
can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the
citoid service
to convert a
URL
or
DOI
into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick,
simple process at mediawiki.org
. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the
instructions at mediawiki.org
Your wiki can customize the first section of the
special character inserter
in VisualEditor. Please follow the
instructions at mediawiki.org
to put the characters you want at the top.
In other changes, if you need to fill in a
CAPTCHA
and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit
Vega-based graphs
. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.
Future changes
биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
The team will be changing the
appearance of selected links
inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A
recent controlled trial
showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the
July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase
. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.

). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).
For
documentation messages
(on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (
+20.3%
). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).
We published some graphs
showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.

Auto-fill features for citations
can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the
citoid service
to convert a
URL
or
DOI
into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick,
simple process at mediawiki.org
. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the
instructions at mediawiki.org
Your wiki can customize the first section of the
special character inserter
in VisualEditor. Please follow the
instructions at mediawiki.org
to put the characters you want at the top.
In other changes, if you need to fill in a
CAPTCHA
and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit
Vega-based graphs
. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.
Future changes
биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
The team will be changing the
appearance of selected links
inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A
recent controlled trial
showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the
July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase
. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.

You can use the visual editor on smartphones and tablets.
Click the pencil icon to open the editor for a page. Inside that, use the gear menu in the upper right corner to "
Көрөн уларытар эрэдээктэргэ көһүү
".
The editing button will remember which editing environment you used last time, and give you the same one next time. The desktop site will be switching to a system similar to this one in the coming months.
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
VisualEditor Team
has fixed many bugs, added new features, and made some small design changes. They post weekly status reports
on mediawiki.org
. Their workboard is available
in Phabricator
. Their
current priorities
are improving support for languages like Japanese and Arabic, making it easier to edit on mobile devices, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
Recent improvements
биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
Educational features:
The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the
Сигэ
and
⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽
tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (
T108620
) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (
T112354
) More in-software educational features are planned.
Links:
It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (
T74108
T91285
) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (
T109498
T110347
T63558
) These
"magic links"
use a custom link editing tool.
Uploads:
Registered editors can now
upload images
and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "
Ук
Миэдьийэ билэ
" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.
Mobile:
Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (
T85630
) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (
T111894
) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "
Сот
" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (
T62110
) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.
Rich editing tools:
You can now add and edit
sheet
music
in the visual editor. (
T112925
) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (
T114227
T113354
) When editing
formulæ
and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of
graphs
; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.
On the
English Wikipedia
, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under
Special:Preferences
Future changes
биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
You will soon be able to
switch from the wikitext to the visual editor
after you start editing. (
T49779
) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a
single edit tab.
T102398
) This project will combine the "
Уларыт
" and "
Биики-тиэкиһи уларыт
" tabs into a single "

A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button. Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.
If you prefer having separate edit buttons, then you can set that option in your preferences, either in a pop-up dialog the next time you open the visual editor, or by going to
Special:Preferences
and choosing the setting that you want:
The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently.

, we decided to organize a Developer Wishlist Survey, and here we go:
The Wikimedia technical community seeks input from developers for
developers, to create a high-profile list of desired improvements. The scope of the survey includes the MediaWiki platform (core software, APIs, developer environment, enablers for extensions, gadgets, templates, bots, dumps), the Wikimedia server infrastructure, the contribution process, and documentation.
The best part: we want to have the results published by Wednesday, February 15. Yes, in a month, to have a higher chance to influence the
Wikimedia Foundation annual plan FY 2017-18.

Developer Wishlist Survey: Vote for Proposals
биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
Almost two weeks ago, the
Technical Collaboration team
invited proposals for the first edition of the Developer Wishlist survey!
We collected around 77 proposals that were marked as suitable for the developer wishlist and met the
defined scope and criteria
. These proposals fall into the following nine categories: Frontend, Backend, Code Contribution (Process, Guidelines), Extensions, Technical Debt, Developer Environment, Documentation, Tools (Phabricator, Gerrit) and Community Engagement.
Voting phase starts now and will run until
February 14th, 23:59 UTC
Click here on a category and show support for the proposals you care for most
. Use the 'Vote' and 'Endorse' buttons next to a proposal to do so.
What happens next?
Proposals that will gather most votes will be included in the final results which will be published on
Wednesday, February 15th

New notification when a page is connected to Wikidata
биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
Hello all,
Пожалуйста, помогите перевести на ваш язык
The Wikidata development team is about to deploy a new feature on all Wikipedias. It is a new type of notification (via Echo, the notification system you see at the top right of your wiki when you are logged in), that will inform the creator of a page, when this page is connected to a Wikidata item.
You may know that
Wikidata
provides a centralized system for all the interwikilinks. When a new page is created, it should be connected to the corresponding Wikidata item, by modifying this Wikidata item. With this new notification, editors creating pages will be informed when another editor connects this page to Wikidata.
This feature will be deployed on May 30th on all the Wikipedias, excepting English, French and German. This feature will be disable by default for existing editors, and enabled by default for new editors.
This is the first step of the deployments, the Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects will follow in the next months.
If you have any question, suggestion, please let me know by pinging me. You can also follow and leave a comment
on the Phabricator ticket
Thanks go to

What is this feature again?
This feature improves
Special:RecentChanges
and
Special:RecentChangesLinked
(and soon,
Special:Watchlist
– see below).
Based on a new design, it adds new features that ease vandalism tracking and support of newcomers:
Filtering
- filter recent changes with easy-to-use and powerful filters combinations, including filtering by namespace or tagged edits.
Highlighting
- add a colored background to the different changes you are monitoring. It helps quick identification of changes that matter to you.
Bookmarking
to keep your favorite configurations of filters ready to be used.
Quality and Intent Filters
- those filters use
ORES predictions
. They identify real vandalism or good faith intent contributions that need help. They are not available on all wikis.
You can know more about this project by visiting
the quick tour help page
Concerning RecentChanges
Starting on 26 September,
New Filters for Edit Review will become standard on Recent Changes
. We have decided to do this release because of a long and successful Beta test phase, positive feedback from various users and positive user testing.
Some features will remain as Beta features and will be added later.
Learn more about those different features
If your community has specific concerns about this deployment or internal discussion, it can request to have the deployment to their wikis delayed to October 1, if they have
sensible, consistent with the project, actionable, realistic feedback to oppose
(at the development team's appreciation).
You will also be able to opt-out this change in your preferences.
Concerning Watchlists
Starting on
September 19
, the Beta feature will have a new option.
Watchlists will have all filters available now on the Beta Recent Changes improvements
If you have already activated the Beta feature "
⧼eri-rcfilters-beta-label⧽
", you have no action to take. If you haven't activated the Beta feature "
⧼eri-rcfilters-beta-label⧽
" and you want to try the filters on Watchlists, please go to
your Beta preferences
on September 19.
How to be ready
Please share this announcement!
Do you use Gadgets that change things on your RecentChanges or Watchlist pages, or have you customized them with scripts or CSS? You may have to make some changes to your configuration. Despite the fact that we have tried to take most cases into consideration, some configurations may break. The Beta phase is a great opportunity to have a look at local scripts and gadgets: some of them may be replaced by native features from the Beta feature.
Please ping me if you have questions.

Did you know that you can now use the
visual diff tool
on any page?
Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.
If you
enable the Beta Feature
for "
⧼visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-label⧽
", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.
In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.
This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.
You can read and help translate
the user guide

The
2017 wikitext editor
is
available as a Beta Feature
on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at
mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance
The
visual diff tool
was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also
enable the new Beta Feature
for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and

Wikitext syntax highlighting
is available as a Beta Feature for both

Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias
Пожалуйста, помогите перевести на ваш язык
Mapframe
is a feature that enables users to easily display interactive maps right on wiki pages. Currently, most Wikipedias don’t have mapframe. But
fifteen Wikipedias
, along with all the other Wikimedia projects, are using mapframe today to display maps on thousands of pages.
A little background: over the last few months, the Foundation’s
Collaboration team
has been working to improve the stability and user experience of the maps service. In addition, a question about long-term support for the maps service was recently settled, and a small team has been assigned for routine maintenance. Given these developments, bringing the benefits of mapframe to Wikipedias that lack the feature seems both safe and supportable.
Nine Wikipedias
that use a stricter version of Flagged Revisions will not get mapframe in this release.
Maps are a valuable form of visual data that can improve readers’ understanding across a wide range of topics. If you know of any reasons why mapframe shouldn’t be implemented on your Wikipedia, let us know
on the project talk page
. Unless we hear from you, we plan to release mapframe to most Wikipedias in May, 2018. So, if you foresee an issue, please let us hear from you. Otherwise, happy mapping!

Update on page issues on mobile web
Пожалуйста, помогите перевести на ваш язык
Hi everyone. The
Readers web team
has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.
So far, we have
drafted a proposal on the design and implementation
of the project. We were also able to run
user testing on the proposed designs
. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:
The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
Readers care about page issues and consider them important
Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues
Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please
visit the project page
where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please
leave feedback on the talk page

Hi all,
I'm preparing a change in who can edit sitewide CSS/JS pages. (These are pages like
MediaWiki:Common.css
and
MediaWiki:Vector.js
which are executed in the browser of all readers and editors.) Currently all administrators are able to edit these pages, which poses a serious and unnecessary security risk. Soon, a dedicated, smaller user group will take over this task. Your community will be able to decide who belongs in this group, so this should mean very little change for you. You can find out more and provide feedback at
the consultation page on Meta
. If you are involved in maintaining CSS/JS code, or policymaking around adminship requests, please give it a look!

Enabling a helpful feature for Template editors

1 ырытыы
1 киһи кэпсэтэр сиримҥэ
Hello.
The team working on TemplateStyles at the Wikimedia Foundation would like to enable TemplateStyles on this wiki.
TemplateStyles is a feature to allow non-administrators to write and manage CSS styles for templates. It allows contributors who edit templates to separate content and presentation. A good web practice that makes it easier to manage the layout of templates. If you don't edit templates, this will not have any impact on your contributions.
TemplateStyles is useful for a few reasons.
It makes it possible for templates to work better on mobile.
It cuts out confusion on where to apply CSS rules.
Editing CSS is currently limited to administrators, which is a major barrier to participation.
All stylesheets must be loaded on all pages (whether they actually use the page or not), which wastes bandwidth and makes debugging style rules more difficult.
You can
learn more about TemplateStyles on MediaWiki.org
Technical documentation is also available
This is an optional feature and no one must use it, but template contributors are encouraged to do so! Please discuss and let us know if there are any concerns. If there are no concerns we will proceed to deploy the feature on the 9th of August.
Thank you.

Hello sah-wiki community! (
Пожалуйста, помогите перевести на ваш язык
I recently organized a project to share templates and modules between wikis. It allows modules and templates to be “language-neutral”, and store all text translations on Commons. This means that it is enough to copy/paste a template without any changes, and update the translations separately. If someone fixes a bug or adds a new feature in the original module, you can copy/paste it again without any translation work. My bot
DiBabelYurikBot
can help with copying. This way users can spend more time on content, and less time on updating and copying templates. Please see
project page
for details and ask questions on talk page.
P.S. I am
currently running
for the Wikimedia board, focusing on content and support of multi-language communities. If you liked my projects like maps, graphs, or this one, I will be happy to receive your support. (any
registered user group
can vote). Thank you! --

Wikidata Bridge: edit Wikidata’s data from Wikipedia infoboxes
биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
Тиһэх суруйуу:
6 сыл ынараа өттүгэр
1 ырытыы

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,

биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the
mobile site
. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:
Section editing
The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
The team studied this with an A/B test.
This test showed
that contributors who could use section editing were
1% more likely to publish
the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
Loading overlay
The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.
Section editing and the new loading overlay are
now available to everyone
using the mobile visual editor.

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (
Source
Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of
the Reply Tool
. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped
newer editors
communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were
more likely
to post a comment on a talk page.
The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also
less likely
to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to
resolve a technical challenge
. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the
Wikipedias that participated in the study
. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

Translate important messages
Promote the Survey
Among anyone and everyone you know who has an account on wiki.
Promote the Survey on social media, via instant messaging apps, in other groups and chats, in your WikiProject, Wikimedia affiliate - wherever contributors with registered accounts may be.
Only you can make the difference
How many people will hear and read about the Survey in their language? How many will decide to participate? Will there be enough of you to vote for a change you would like to see? It all depends on you, volunteers.
Why are we asking?
We have improved the documentation
. It's friendlier and easier to use. This will mean little if it's only in English.
Thousands of volunteers haven't participated in the Survey yet. We'd like to improve that, too. Three years ago, 1387 people participated. Last year, there were 1773 of them. We hope that in the upcoming edition, there will be even more. You are better than us in contacting Wikimedians outside of wikis. We have prepared some images to share. More to come.
What is the Community Wishlist Survey?
It's an annual survey that allows contributors to the Wikimedia projects to propose and vote for tools and platform improvements. Long years of experience in editing or technical skills are not required.
Thanks, and be safe and successful in 2022!

Hello,
Over the next months we will gradually change the audio and video player of Wikis from Kultura to Video.js and with that, the old player won’t be accessible anymore. The new player has been active as a beta feature since May 2017.
The new player has many advantages, including better design, consistent look with the rest of our interface, better compatibility with browsers, ability to work on mobile which means our multimedia will be properly accessible on iPhone, better accessibility and many more.
The old player has been unmaintained for eight years now and is home-brewn (unlike the new player which is a widely used open source project) and uses deprecated and abandoned frameworks such as jQuery UI. Removing the old player’s code also improves performance of the Wikis for anyone visiting any page (by significantly reducing complexity of the dependency graph of our ResourceLoader modules. See

). The old player has many open bugs that we will be able to close as resolved after this migration.
The new player will solve a lot of old and outstanding issues but also it will have its own bugs. All important ones have been fixed but there will be some small ones to tackle in the future and after the rollout.
What we are asking now is to turn on the beta feature for the new player and let us know about any issues.

Hello Sakha Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in your language, Please help translate to your language.
The
WMF Language team
is pleased to let you know that we will like to enable the
Section translation
tool in Sakha Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test it so you can:
Give us your feedback
Ask us questions
Tell us how to improve it.
Below is background information about Section translation, why we have chosen your community, and how to test it.
Background information
Content Translation
has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015. The Wikimedia Foundation Language team has improved the translation experience further with the Section Translation. The WMF Language team enabled the early version of the tool in February 2021 in Bengali Wikipedia. Through their feedback, the tool was improved and ready for your community to test and provide feedback to make it better.
Section Translation
extends the capabilities of Content Translation to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:
Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones.
Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device.
Sakha Wikipedia seems an ideal candidate to enjoy this new tool since it has Content Translation tool enabled by default.
We plan to enable the tool in the coming weeks if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tool and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have in any of the following formats:
As a reply to this message
On
the project talk page
Try the tool
Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in
our testing instance
. Once it is enabled on Sakha Wikipedia, you’ll have access to
with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.
Provide feedback
Please provide feedback about Section translation in any of the formats you are most comfortable with. We want to hear about your impressions on:
The tool
What you think about our plans to enable it
Your ideas for improving the tool.
Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback.

Section Translation tool enabled in Sakha Wikipedia
биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
Hello Friends!
The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that the
Section Translation
tool is
now enabled in Sakha Wikipedia
. It means you can translate content one section at a time using your mobile devices with ease.
Now you can also start translating an article on your mobile device right when you notice it is missing in Sakha. From a Wikipedia article in any language, switch languages and search for саха тыла. If the article does not exist, an option to translate it will appear, as shown in the image below.
Image of the entry point
Content created with the tool will be marked
with the “sectiontranslation” tag
for the community to review. We’ll monitor the content created, but we are very interested in hearing about your experience using the tool and reviewing the content created with it.
So,
enjoy the tool
and
provide feedback
on improving it.
Thank you!

Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on
the project page
We want your feedback
to make sure this feature works well for you:
Please try
the current state of development on beta wiki and

Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Sakha Wikipedia

Привет
Sakha Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language.
Пожалуйста, помогите перевести на ваш язык
The
WMF Language and Product Localization
team proposes enabling an entry point called "Contribute" to your Wikipedia.
The
Contribute
entry point is based on collaborative work with other product teams in the Wikimedia Foundation on
Edit discovery
, which validated the entry point as a persistent and constant path that contributors took to discover ways to contribute content in Wikipedia.
Therefore, enabling this entry point in your Wikipedia will help contributors quickly discover available tools and immediately click to start using them. This entry point is designed to be a central point for discovering contribution tools in Sakha Wikipedia.
Who can access it
Once it is enabled in your Wikipedia, newcomers can access the entry point automatically by just logging into their account, click on the User drop-down menu and choose the "Contribute" icon, which takes you to another menu where you will find a self-guided description of what you can do to contribute content, as shown in the image below. An option to "view contributions" is also available to access the list of your contributions.
For experienced contributors, the Contribute icon is not automatically shown in their User drop-down menu. They will still see the "Contributions" option unless they change it to the "Contribute" manually.
This feature is available in four Wikipedia (Albanian, Malayalam, Mongolian, and Tagalog). We have gotten valuable feedback that helped us improve its discoverability. Now, it is ready to be enabled in other Wikis. One major improvement was to
make the entry point optional for experienced contributors
who still want to have the "Contributions" entry point as default.
We plan to enable it
on mobile
for Wikis, where the Section translation tool is enabled. In this way, we will provide a main entry point to the mobile translation dashboard, and the exposure can still be limited by targeting only the mobile platform for now. If there are no objections to having the entry point for mobile users from your community, we will enable it by 10th December 2024.
We welcome your feedback and questions in this thread on our proposal to enable it here. Suppose there are no objections, we will deploy the "Contribute" entry point in your Wikipedia.
We look forward to your response soon.
Thank you!
On behalf of the WMF Language and Product Localization team.

Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the
old Graph extension
was disabled in 2023
due to security reasons
. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the
Charts extension
, which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the
EasyTimeline extension
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from
May 6
. Please, consult
our page on MediaWiki.org
to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also
consult the documentation
about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the
project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org
, or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the
talk page
or at

Dear Wikipedia community,
Please help translate to your language
We invite your community to participate in the 6th edition of the
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Campaign
, a global campaign taking place from July 1 to August 31, 2025.
Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photos, then add a suitable photo 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
Wiki Loves Monuments
, etc.) over the years.
More than 80 Wikimedia affiliates have participated since the campaign was launched in 2020 and have added images to more than 400,000 Wikipedia articles in over 245 Wikipedia languages. Thanks to the volunteer contributors!
We now invite your community to organize and lead the campaign within your community. As a local organizer, you may:
Encourage individual members to take part by adding images to Wikipedia articles.
Host edit-a-thons focused on improving visual content.
Organize training workshops to teach contributors how to correctly integrate images into Wikipedia.
These activities will help build local capacity and increase visual content across Wikipedia.
Please note that for participants to be eligible to participate in the campaign, they need to have registered an account for at least a year before the official start date of the contest. That is, for the 2025 edition, they must have registered an account on or before July 1, 2025. The account can be from any Wikimedia project wikis.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically or thematically) or for a language Wikipedia.
We would be glad for you to
sign up directly
at
WPWP Participating Communities
With kind regards,
User:Reading Beans

Hello everyone, the
Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects
team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your
Watchlists
and
Recent Changes
lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the
Wikidata:Glossary
for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for
17.07.2025
, between
1300 - 1500 UTC
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this
project task page
. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated
Talk page

Пожалуйста, помогите перевести на ваш язык
! We are considering to work on
Community Wishlist/W17: Improve VE references' automatic names and reuse
. This has been a long-term issue for wikitext editors (see e.g.
en:WP:VisualEditor/Named references
) which has been among the top-voted wishes in several
Community Wishlist Surveys
, e.g.
2017
2019
2022
or
2023
We would like your input on the
solutions
proposed on our project page:
m:WMDE Technical Wishes/References/VisualEditor automatic reference names
. We are considering several options, which can be combined if desired by the community.
Changing the default pattern for automatically generated reference names (currently
":n"
, e.g.
":0"
":1"
...) to use the
reference type
instead (e.g.
"book_reference-1"
).
Providing a simple mechanism for communities to configure a different default name.
Generating automatic reference names based on the
domain name
(if it’s a web citation).
Generating automatic reference names based on template parameters (e.g. "title" or "last"+"first") – defined by the community.
Feedback
биики-тиэкиһи уларытыы
Visit our project page
to read about our proposal in detail and share your thoughts
on metawiki
Please note
: We will only implement a solution if there’s clear consensus among the global community. Our intention is not to build the perfect solution, but to find a simple and lean one that alleviates the pain caused by auto generated names. We are aware that some experienced VisualEditor users might prefer an option to manually change reference names in VisualEditor, but such a UX intervention is difficult to achieve across reference types and thus out of scope for our team, we can only improve the auto-naming mechanism.
We are happy about suggestions for improving certain details of the proposed solutions. Any other feedback and alternative proposals are also welcome – even though it’s out of scope for us, it might still be relevant for future work on this topic.
Please support us interpreting consensus by clearly indicating your opinion (e.g. by using support/neutral/oppose templates). We are aware of
en:WP:NOTVOTE
, but given that we are facilitating this discussion with users from different wikis, potentially commenting in their native language, clearly indicating your position helps us avoid misunderstandings.
Thank you for participating!

Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226)

Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as
Module:Itemgroup/list
).
The Change:
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property
P1846
, combined with the qualifier
P180
Q19571328
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property:
P14226
What You Need To Do:
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from
P14226
instead of the old
P1846
P180
structure. A
list of pages
was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
Deadline:
We are temporarily retaining the old data on
P1846
to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old
P1846
statements will be removed after
May 1, 2026
. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help!
