New notification when a page is connected to Wikidata
𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽
Hello all,
(Please help translate to your language)
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
Matěj Suchánek
who developed this feature!
Thank you!

m:Requests for comment/Global centralnotice for the blockade of the Turkish government
𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽
Hi, you are invited to participate in the discussion on the proposal to make a banner through
m: centralnotice
to inform more people around the world about what the Turkish government has done about Wikipedia, ie all the language versions of Wikipedia are You are obscured, so in Turkey it is impossible to view the * .wikipedia.org site. To hope that the Turkish government will remove the block, it is necessary to raise awareness of this fact around the world because it is important to succeed in this mission because Wikipedia can not be seen in Turkey. With this message also for those interested, I invite him to sign the
Wikimedian appeal
If you have any questions or questions do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks best regards. --

Improved search in deleted pages archive
𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽
Please help translate to your language
During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the
Discovery
team
worked
on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely
enabling searching the archive of deleted pages
. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.
Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the
Special:Undelete
page, and add
&fuzzy=1
to the URL, like this:
. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).
We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via
email
or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki.
Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using
&fuzzy=0
in the URL, like this:
Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.
Thank you!

Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias
𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽
Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias
Please help translate to your language
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

Update on page issues on mobile web
Please help translate to your language
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

Enabling a helpful feature for Template editors
𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽
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.

Wikidata Bridge: edit Wikidata’s data from Wikipedia infoboxes
𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽
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,

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion
𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽
Hello!
I apologize for sending a message in English. Please help translate to your language. 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.
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,
Martin Urbanec

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally
𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽
Please help translate to your language
Hello everyone,
I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project:
m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally
In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.
This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like
WP:NPOV
, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.
As far as I can see, Wikipedia currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.
I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see
m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally
Please feel free to
ask me
if you have any questions about this proposal.
Best regards,

Global bot policy changes
𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽
Hello!
I apologize for sending a message in English. Please help translate to your language. According to
the list
, your wiki project is currently opted in to the
global bot policy
. As such, I want to let you know about some changes that were made after the
global RfC
was closed.
Global bots are now subject to a 2 week discussion, and it'll be publicized via a MassMessage list, available at
Bot policy/New global bot discussion
on Meta. Please subscribe yourself or your wiki if you are interested in new global bots proposals.
For a bot to be considered for approval, it must demonstrate it is welcomed in multiple projects, and a good way to do that is to have the bot flag on at least 5 wikis for a single task.
The bot operator should make sure to adhere to the wiki's preference as related to the use of the bot flag (i.e., if a wiki doesn't want a bot to use the flag as it edits, that should be followed).
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Thanks for the fish!
