Tech News: 2021-09

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Wiki's die de Growth team tools gebruiken kunnen nu de naam van de mentor van een nieuwkomer laten zien met een variabele. Dit kan gebruikt worden in bijvoorbeeld welkomstberichten of gebruikersboxen.
• A new version of the VideoCutTool is now available. It enables cropping, trimming, audio disabling, and rotating video content. It is being created as part of the developer outreach programs.

Problemen en onderhoud

• Er was een probleem met de wachtrij voor opdrachten (job queue) waardoor sommige functies geen aanpassingen opsloegen en MassMessage berichten vertraging opliepen. Dit had geen invloed op bewerkingen op wiki's. [1]
• Some editors may not be logged in to their accounts automatically in the latest versions of Firefox and Safari. [2]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 2 maart uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 3 maart uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 4 maart zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden.

Growth team newsletter #17

Welcome to the seventeenth newsletter from the Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

Structured tasks

Add a link: the team is continuing to engineer on our first "structured task", which will break down the workflow of adding wikilinks to articles, and assist newcomers with an algorithm to identify words and phrases that could be made into links.

Add an image: even as we build our first structured task, we have been thinking about the next one. "Add an image" is a structured task in which newcomers would be recommended images from Wikimedia Commons to add to unillustrated articles. This is an ambitious idea with many details to consider. We have already learned a lot from community members, and we encourage everyone to look at the project page and join the discussion.

Moving forward: more wikis to get the features

Last November, our team published the analysis of the impact of newcomer tasks. We announced that we found that the Growth features, and particularly newcomer tasks, lead to increased editing from newcomers. Because of these results, we believe all Wikipedias should implement these features.

We have started to contact more wikis to deploy the features, including Wikipedias of all sizes. Bengali Wikipedia recently began using Growth features, and Danish, Thai, Indonesian, and Romanian Wikipedias will be coming soon. Please contact us if you have questions regarding deployment.

We are looking for translators who can help by translating the interface. Translating is done on Translatewiki.net (it requires a different account that your Wikimedia one). Communities that already have the Growth features being deployed are invited to check on the translations. Access translations here.

Variant testing

As mentioned in our previous newsletter, we ran a test of two variants of the newcomer homepage, meant to find a version that increases users completing suggested edits. We have completed the experiment, and learned that one of the variants leads to more edits on desktop while the other leads to more edits on mobile. Therefore, we will deploy the strongest variants for each platform to all newcomers.

News for mentors

Mentor dashboard: we have interviewed mentors from several communities as we plan a mentor dashboard feature, which would help mentors track the progress of their mentees. We encourage all mentors to share their thoughts on tools that would help them.

Magic word for mentors: it is now possible to use a magic word, {{#mentor}}, to display the name of a given newcomer's mentor. This can be used on welcome messages, userboxes, etc.

Help panel questions going to mentors: in most wikis, newcomers using the help panel ask questions to the help desk. On Czech Wikipedia, we have experimented with sending these questions to mentors instead. This simplifies the newcomer experience, and only led to a increase in mentorship questions of about 30%. We tried this in Arabic, Bengali, French and Vietnamese Wikipedias, and we are making it the default experience.

Tech News: 2021-10

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Sectievertaling werkt nu op de Bengaalse Wikipedia waardoor het voor mobiele gebruikers makkelijker is om secties te vertalen. Deze feature komt later naar andere wiki's waarbij de focus initieel ligt op actieve wiki's met een beperkt aantal artikelen. Je kan het uittesten en feedback achterlaten.
• Flagged revisions geven moderators nu het review-recht. [4]
• Wanneer iemand naar een Wikipedia artikel linkt op Twitter is daarbij nu een voorbeeldweergave te zien. [5]

Problemen en onderhoud

• Vele grafieken hebben JavaScript-fouten. Bewerkers van grafieken kunnen hun werk controleren in de developer console van hun browser na het bewerken. [6]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 9 maart uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 10 maart uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 11 maart zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)
• De Nieuwe Discussietool zal binnenkort op de meeste Wikipedia's als bètafunctie opgenomen worden bij de discussietools. Het doel is om het eenvoudiger te maken om nieuwe discussies te starten. [7]

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• Er komen een aantal veranderingen om het eenvoudiger te maken om met sjablonen te werken. Een deel hiervan komt in maart op de eerste wiki's. Verdere veranderingen arriveren in juni op de eerste wiki's. Deze veranderingen zijn zowel voor mensen die sjablonen gebruiken als degenen die sjablonen aanmaken en bewerken. Verder lezen.
• Reference Previews worden op 17 maart een standaardfeature op sommige wiki's. Ze zullen een instelling delen met Page Previews. Als je de voorkeur geeft aan de Reference Tooltips of Navigation-Popups gadget dan kan je die blijven gebruiken. In dat geval zullen de Reference Previews niet worden weergegeven. [8][9]
• Nieuwe JavaScript-gebaseerde functies zullen niet werken in Internet Explorer 11 omdat deze browser te oud is om JavaScript uit te voeren die is geschreven naar de huidige normen. Alles wat vandaag werkt in IE11 zal voorlopig blijven werken. Verder lezen.

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Wiki's die deel uitmaken van het desktopverbeteringen project kunnen nu gebruik maken van een nieuwe zoekfunctie. De desktopverbeteringen en nieuwe zoekfunctie komen later op meer wiki's beschikbaar. Je kan het ook eerder testen.
• Gebruikers die banners instellen of site-brede JavaScript code aanpassen zouden client error graph moeten gebruiken om te zien of hun veranderingen geen problemen veroorzaken. Verder lezen. [10]

Problemen en onderhoud

• Door databaseproblemen was de Wikimedia Betacluster voor ruim een dag alleen-lezen.

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 16 maart uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 17 maart uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 18 maart zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)

Toekomstige wijzigingen

Er komt een nieuw veld om aan te geven met welke database er verbonden moet worden. Als je denkt dat dit invloed heeft op jouw bezigheden dan kan je een bericht achterlaten op Phabricator of op Wikitech. PAWS en andere manieren om SQL queries op de Wiki Replicas te doen zullen later aangepast worden. [13]

• Syntaxiskleuring gaat veranderen om de leesbaarheid te verbeteren. De eerste wiki's worden binnenkort aangepast. [14]

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• Flagged revisions zullen niet langer meerdere labels zoals "tone" of "depth" hebben. Er zal ook niet meer dan één rang zijn. Dit is aangepast omdat slechts enkele wiki's deze features gebruikten en dit maakte de tool ingewikkeld om te onderhouden. [15][16]
• Gadgets en user scripts in JavaScript hebben toegang tot variabelen met informatie over de huidige pagina. In 2015 is dit verplaatst van wg* naar mw.config. wg* werkt binnenkort niet meer. [17]

Tech News: 2021-13

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Sommige antieke browsers werken niet goed met Wikimedia wiki's. Oude code voor browsers die voorheen ondersteund waren is verwijderd waardoor de betreffende browsers mogelijk niet goed meer werken. [19]
• Meldingen van recente wijzigingen op IRC zijn verplaatst naar een nieuwe server. Tools moeten altijd verbinden met irc.wikimedia.org en niet de naam van een specifieke server. Gebruikers kunnen ook overwegen om over te stappen op de modernere EventStreams. [20]

Problemen en onderhoud

• Bij het verplaatsen van een pagina die veel gebruikers op hun volglijst hebben staan kan de geschiedenis onverwacht gesplitst worden. Daarna is de pagina mogelijk ook voor enige tijd niet meer te verplaatsen. Dit komt door een probleem met job queue. (opdrachtenwachtrij) [21]
• Sommige vertaalbare pagina's op Meta konden niet bewerkt worden door een fout in de vertaaltool. De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki heeft door problemen als deze vertraging opgelopen. [22][23]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 30 maart uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 31 maart uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 1 april zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden.
