Tech News: 2013-44

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

New features

  • The style and colors for warning boxes, error messages, and success messages in all skins of MediaWiki has been changed. [1]

VisualEditor news

  • You will soon be able to switch from editing in VisualEditor to editing wikitext directly without having to save the page. You can't yet switch from wikitext to VisualEditor but developers hope to make it possible in the future. [2]

Problems

  • There was a problem on October 31 during the activation of MediaWiki 1.22wmf2 on test wikis. mediawiki.org was also broken, and if you had problems logging in, it was probably because of this as well.

Future

  • Because of the problem with MediaWiki 1.22wmf2, the calendar has changed. It will be added to mediawiki.org and non-Wikipedia sites on November 4, and all Wikipedia sites on November 7.

JavaScript / Gadget developers

  • Due to a recent change, gadgets and user scripts that use jQuery UI should explicitly load the appropriate modules, as they may not be loaded by default. [3]
  • Developers have started to remove long-deprecated methods. You should check the JavaScript console (in debug=true mode) and look for deprecation warnings and their stack trace. [4]

Adminship

I would like to nominate you for local adminship here if you accept as I see you could use the tools. Cheers, Vogone talk 23:59, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

I am glad to accept nomination. :-) Greetings, --by ReviTCMG at 00:03, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
I would have done this myself by the end of the year if Vogone didn't do it just now. Good luck! TCN7JM 01:15, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Merging items

Hallo Revi,

When you are merging items, please use the Merge.js gadget. It helps you nominating, gives the option to always keep the lower number (which is older, so preferable) and makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests. -Cycn (talk) 14:47, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

I know it exist,I usually use it when I merge it. Recently,I started to nominate items which is merged,but not nominated for deletion. So, most my RFD requests are actually done by someone else. I am just checking whether they are merged. Anyway, thanks for telling me.--by ReviTCMG at 14:51, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
If you use the merging tool on items that other user have merged you automatically nominate correctly, and you make deleting a lot easier for the admins. I use the tool to delete item if the merger or the nominator did not, so that's actually double work. -Cycn (talk) 13:18, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
Ok. I will keep in mind that. :) --by ReviTCMG at 13:24, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

The Wikinewsie Group News - Edition 5, November 8, 2013

The Wikinewsie Group Newsletter

 Sharing news about the group's activities
 and things taking place on local Wikinews projects.

Key resources
The Wikinewsie Group News
Edition 5, November 8, 2013
Project news
  • The Wikinewsie Group/Local Wikinews policies is the start of a guide that explains local Wikinews project policies with the goal of making it easier to recognise credentials across project, build on accumulated reputation from one project to another and facilitate translation work.
  • Historical Czech Wikinews experiment is a blog entry by Okino that looks at the community impact of allowing writers to write Wikinews articles from a past perspective, IE writing a story about a historical battle as if you were a journalist writing that article the day after it happened. The purpose was to attempt to make Wikinews more collaborative in nature and avoid the time constraints of the immediacy of news reporting. Okino shows that while the reaction to the idea was positive, the true interest in writing the articles of this type was small as the vast majority of them were written by him.
  • A conversation is taking place on Wikinoticias about allowing CC-BY-NC images to be locally uploaded.[5]
  • A conversation is taking place on English Wikinews with a WMF staff member about the future of search and potential special search features for Wikinews projects.[6]
Training materials
A video for new reporters who lost their first article on English Wikinews
  • A one page guide and a screencast were created that explain how to avoid plagiarism on Wikinews. Available data suggests this is somewhat of an issue for new and student reporters on English Wikinews, with roughly 10 to 20% of all submitted articles having some sort of copyright issue.
  • Training materials were created to better support new reporters wanting to produce photo essays. They can be found at Photo Essays for Wikinews, Photojournalist worksheet, and Wikinews Photo Essay Formatting. Assistance is requested in translating these to other languages and localizing them to local project requirements. This would be very helpful ahead of the Sochi Paralympic Games, where there are expected to be a number of photo essays produced.
  • Given the difficulty of new reporters being unable to get their first article published on Wikinews, a video was created to encourage these writers to stick with it. It can be found at The first time writing for Wikinews good.ogv. It is somewhat tongue in cheek, and tries to address the emotional implications of a not ready review. The problem of getting new reporters who are unsuccessful at getting their article published has been identified as a major area for work. It has a large impact on reporter retention.
Of interest for journalists
Education
EduWiki 2013 presentation
  • Provisional Chairperson LauraHale is made a presentation at the EduWiki Conference 2013 in Cardiff, Wales about educational efforts on English Wikinews. Findings she included that changes in reviewing practices between semester 1 and semester 2 for one university course saw similar improvements for new reporters. What is good for students is good for the whole community.
  • With the Education Extension[7] installed successfully on English Wikinews, a portal was started at WN:EDU[8] to encourage and provide training for educators to use Wikinews in their coursework. This is something The Wikinewsie Group is hoping to expand upon in the future, and plans to try to get translated into other languages. Plans are also underway to create a student portal to provide training for students. Many things to Sage Ross for his assistance in setting up the educator portal.
GLAM
  • The major GLAM work being done by a Wikinewsie at the moment is a Wikimedian in Residency with the Comité Paralímpico Español. A report was created this month for CPE based on interviews done in August. It can be found here.
  • Paralympic work being done with the US Olympic Committee is progressing.
Original reporting - summary

Between May 1 and October 31, when The Wikinewsie Group Newsletter first began tracking original reporting taking place across all projects, 227 stories have been published by 78 reporters 14 different language Wikinews projects. The projects with the greatest number of reporters engaged in original reporting were English with 15, Russian with 14, Polish with 13 and French with 10. Beyond these, original there were one or more journalists engaging in original reporting on Catalan, Chinese, Esperanto, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Serbian, Spanish and Ukrainian. The peak month for reporting across all projects was May with 52 articles. It was followed by June with 49, August with 44, September with 43 and July with 39.

In the past four months, Spanish, Polish, French, Ukrainian, Russian and English have all produced over 20 total pieces of original reporting, with Russian Wikinews publishing 41 stories and English Wikinews publishing 60 stories.

LauraHale, RockerballAustralia, Antanana, Agamitsudo, Dmitry Rozhkov, Plogi, Krassotkin, Schekinov Alexey Victorovich, and MadriCR have each produced 5 or more pieces of original reporting in the past four months. Another group of users, Joan301009, Bddpaux, Computron, Laslovarga, Fed4ev and Yakudza, have produced four articles each.

For September, only three pieces of 43 original reports produced were translated from one language to another. They were Wikinews interviews specialists on China, Iran, Russia support for al-Assad, Wikinews interviews Dr Thomas Scotto and Dr Steve Hewitt about potential US military intervention in Syria, Atlético de Madrid defeats Real Madrid 1-0 in 2013 derby and Tokio gana la sede de los Juegos Olímpicos 2020. Original reporting is a major strength of Wikinews. It is one we should be playing to. The Wikinewsie Group would like to encourage everyone to assist translating Wikinews work into another language, or finding a local reporter to assist with translating a work from where it was originally published into that language. This will benefit all languages, promote more cooperation between projects, and expand news reach for our reporting which we can leverage to provide more opportunities for reporters.

Tech News: 2013-45

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

New features

  • You can now use the "Autonym" font of the Universal Language Selector (ULS) to display the name of languages (for example in navigation templates) in their correct script. To do this, add the CSS class "autonym" to the elements that include language names. Note that this font only works for the name of languages, not for any other text. [9]

Problems

  • There was a problem with Parsoid (the program used by VisualEditor to convert wikitext to annotated HTML) on November 4, between 19:40 and 20:40 (UTC). Encoding issues caused non-ASCII characters (including those with diacritics, like "é") to be broken when converted to wikitext and saved to the page. [10]

Future

  • The Beta Features tool is now available on Commons and Meta-Wiki. With it, you can test new features before they're added for everyone. The plan is to add this tool to all wikis on November 21. [11]
  • MediaWiki 1.23wmf3 was added to test wikis on November 7. It will arrive to non-Wikipedia wikis on November 12 and all Wikipedia wikis on November 14 (calendar). [12]
  • The MassMessage tool will be added to all wikis on November 14. It will make it simpler to send messages across wikis. [13]
  • The button of the Search page will soon be changed to be blue and bigger (see the difference). [14]
  • You will soon be able to add a page name as parameter for {{REVISIONID}}, {{REVISIONUSER}} and {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} and similar functions, by writing for example {{REVISIONID:Apple}}. [15]
  • In the future, when you hide a CentralNotice banner on a wiki, it will also be hidden on other Wikimedia sites. [16]

Hi! And thanks for the belated welcome lol. I actually came here last month. Jianhui67 talk★contribs 09:29, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome :-) --by ReviTalkCMG at 09:31, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

why?

Why did you move all attributes from Myntgatan (Q10591867) to Myntgatan (Q6947829) instead of deleting the empty and unsued Myntgatan (Q6947829)? Now all links to Myntgatan (Q10591867) are broken and had to be fixed by hand. /Esquilo (talk) 12:13, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Well,today is first day with admin tools, so I made mistake. Sorry for that, and ✓ Done. --by ReviTalkCMG at 12:22, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Aw Jesus, did you just move it back? Now I had to fix the links a second time! /Esquilo (talk) 12:40, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Because you left message here,I thought you were requesting rolling back... :P --by ReviTalkCMG at 12:42, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
I was just asking why you deleted the item in use instead of the empty and unused one. There is a "what links here" gadget in the lefthand side panel that is quite handy. /Esquilo (talk) 12:46, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
I forgot to check it. Sorry again. --by ReviTalkCMG at 13:52, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

English | español | français | Nederlands | русский | +/−

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades... (our gift is better than the one at Commons or Meta)

You have your gun; now here's your badge: {{User admin}}/{{#babel:admin}} and {{Admin topicon}}. Enjoy!

-revi/보존/2013, congratulations! You now have the rights of administrator on Wikidata. Please take a moment to read the Wikidata:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Wikidata:Project chat and Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikidata-admin @ irc.freenode.net. If you need access, you can flag someone down at #wikimedia-wikidata @ irc.freenode.net. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading, although it doesn't always completely apply here at Wikidata. You may also want to consider adding yourself to meta:Template:Wikidata/Ambassadors, and to any similar page on your home wiki if one exists. (WT:Wikidata/Wikidatans on En-WP.)

Please also add/update the languages you speak to your listing at Wikidata:List of administrators. You may also like to add your username to this list if you would not like that items you delete at RfD get marked as deleted automatically. Again, welcome to the admin corps!

Legoktm (talk) 01:28, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations! You'll be a great administrator, I know it. TCN7JM 01:28, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

To be honest, I fail to see why we need to keep this talk page around. John F. Lewis (talk) 14:37, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Re: Merging

Hello, I fixed it so it picks a lower ID when no item has claim (it was picking a random one), but in the case that one item has some claims, it still prefers that item ID with claims and I don't want to change this behavior.

I guess "choosing a lower ID" is just some tiebreaker and it would be nicer to preserve the item and its history which has been more heavily used. Maybe another solution is to preserve items with more history revisions. What do you think about this idea?

When more than one item have claims, my bot was, and still will be refusing to do a merge, because I can't find a reliable way to merge such items (especially, claim sets) without human intervention. Liangent (talk) 17:15, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Well, though I prefer lower QID, keeping higher history is also a good idea. Maybe saving linked item is good idea too. --by ReviTalkCMG at 03:10, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

I cannot understand what to provide. --by ReviTalkCMG at 22:08, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I meant my talk on 2013-11-24 on food waste (Q18919). -- con-struct 18:26, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Sure, 
food waste is food material that is *discarded or *unable to be used (e.g. shells, bones)

I had on 2013-11-11 created on food waste (Q18919) a 1st talk, the explanation. This was deleted.
On 2013-11-24 I had created on food waste (Q18919) a 2nd other talk, a comment. This was deleted too.
The sentence given above is from 2013-11-11, but I need the contribution from 2013-11-24. -- con-struct 09:15, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
