Gemeentes in Noorwegen

Moi Romaine (en meelezers). Ik probeerde in het Sjabloon:Infobox_gemeente_Noorwegen in te voeren dat twee provincies per 1-1-18 zijn gefuseerd tot de provincie Trøndelag. Eigenlijk kan ik dat beter niet doen want dat gaat vaak fout, ook nu. Geen idee waar het fout gaat, mocht je tijd en zin hebben zou je er naar willen kijken, het gaat met name om de kaart die de positie van de provincie binnen Noorwegen in de infobox weergeeft. Peter b (overleg) 2 jan 2018 22:58 (CET)

Heb ik het zojuist opgelost? Zo nee, waar gaat het fout? –bdijkstra (overleg) 2 jan 2018 23:03 (CET)

Zo te zien wel, bedankt. Peter b (overleg) 2 jan 2018 23:05 (CET)

MSC Meraviglia (schip, 2017)

Hoi Romaine. Hier ging iets niet helemaal goed (stond via het sjabloon in de verkeerde cat en de bot paste dat niet aan). Het lag niet aan je bot, maar misschien vind je het interessant. Dus meld ik het even hier. Een prettige avond verder.Mvg, TheDragonhunter | Vragen? 6 jan 2018 00:08 (CET)

Dank voor de melding! Mmm, misschien eens nadenken of dat verkeerd invullen van parameters door gebruikers op een of andere manier te detecteren valt. Romaine (overleg) 6 jan 2018 00:15 (CET)

Tech News: 2018-02

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

Recent changes

• On Wikidata, the "opslaan" button when you edit is now called "publiceren". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "Pagina opslaan" to "Wijzigingen publiceren". This is to help new editors understand what it does. [1][2]
• Some edits will get an automatic tag on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways. [3]
• Special:UnusedFiles shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons only shows files that are not used on any wiki. [4]
• Structured discussions now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation has been updated. [5][6]

Problems

• Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work. The developers are looking into the problem. [7]
• With the new filters in the recent changes, "Geselecteerde uitsluiten" in "Naamruimten" did not work for "Opgeslagen filters" between 13 December and 2 January. When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again. [8]
• The latest version of Google Chrome broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see #R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9 instead of #Résumé even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March). [9]
• Some POST requests to the API took longer than usual in parts of December. This affected the Wikidata UI and some gadgets the most. It has now been fixed. [10]

Changes later this week

• Wikidata will be moved to its own database servers. This is because it is growing and needs more resources. Because of this you will be able to read but not edit Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis. [11]
• The font size in the editing window will change slightly for some users. It will now look the same on all browsers and operating systems. [12][13]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 January. It will be on all wikis from 11 January (calendar).
• WikiEditor's ResourceLoader modules have been simplified to one: ext.wikiEditor. All the other modules are now deprecated aliases and should be removed. [14]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 9 January at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2018-3

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

Recent changes

• Bureaucrats on Wikimedia wikis where the Translate extension is installed can now add and remove the translation administrator permission by default.

• There is a new Discourse test support channel for Wikimedia developers. You can ask questions or answer others questions about MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development. [16]

Problems

• Last week's MediaWiki update was rolled back. This was because of a bug that changed non-ASCII characters when a page was edited. [17][18]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar).

Future changes

Lijst van oorlogsmonumenten in Overijssel

Dag Romaine, na het beschrijven van het monument Niet Vergeten maakte ik een Zie ook-koppeling naar Lijst van oorlogsmonumenten in Overijssel. Op die lijst staat in de eerste kolom een externe link die echter in alle gevallen doorverwijst naar een 404-melding van 4en5mei.nl. Het plaatsen van een juiste externe link bij het objectnummer loste dat niet op. Nu lijkt u op het eerste gezicht de maker van al deze overzichtslijsten in Overijssel (waarvoor hulde). Zou u er daarom even naar willen kijken? Met vriendelijke groet, Tulp8 (overleg) 22 jan 2018 09:02 (CET)

Hi Tulp8, Dank voor de melding! Ze hebben blijkbaar de URLs van alle monumenten gewijzigd. Niet slim bedacht van ze. Ik heb de URL in het tabelregelsjabloon aangepast en het lijkt weer te werken. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 22 jan 2018 09:06 (CET)

Waarvoor dank! Tulp8 (overleg) 22 jan 2018 09:13 (CET)

Categorie-indeling WikiUilen op Commons

Dag, Romaine. Even over Commons. De WikiUilen zitten op Commons in de categorie WikiEule. (Zou ook in een aparte categorie kunnen, maar blijkbaar worden de WikiEule als de oer-uilen van de WikiUilen gezien, het is tenslotte dezelfde diersoort, dus dat is prima.) Omdat Category:WikiEule in de categorieën German Wikipedia en Awards of Germany bleek te zitten, leek het me logisch daaraan ook de categorieën Dutch Wikipedia, Awards of the Netherlands en Awards of Belgium toe te voegen, dus dat heb ik gedaan. (Awards of Belgium toch ook?) Vriendelijke groet, ErikvanB (overleg) 22 jan 2018 18:25 (CET)

En bij nader inzien ook nog +Statues of owls in the Netherlands en +Statues of owls in Belgium als aanvulling op Statues of owls in Germany. Beetje bizar allemaal, maar als het niet goed is, verbeter je maar. ErikvanB (overleg) 22 jan 2018 18:36 (CET)

Over de WikiUilen nog een keer

Ik heb mijn uilen gefotografeerd en op Commons geplaatst. Dat was ook een ideetje van jou, geloof ik. Als kers op de pudding (op de taart?) heb ik ook het fotografisch proces vastgelegd, maar die twee afbeeldingen (in kleur en zwart-wit) mogen eventueel ook verwijderd worden als "out of scope", hoor. Was zomaar een aardigheidje.

Bedankt voor de voorbeeldige organisatie van de WikiUilen-uitreiking en hartelijke groeten van ErikvanB (overleg) 22 jan 2018 23:56 (CET)

Sjabloon

Dag Romaine, wat een verrassing zondagavond. Jij bedankt voor het al het werk wat je deed voor een goede zaak.

Zou je voor mij iets in het Sjabloon:Infobox spoorwegstation Polen willen zetten. Deze stations zijn vaak al in de 19e eeuw gebruikt in Pruisen of Rusland. Soms alleen maar tot het einde van WOII. Ik kan die Duitse naam nu niet kwijt. Groet, Lidewij (overleg) 24 jan 2018 13:37 (CET)

Een infobox is een box die de belangrijkste kenmerken van een onderwerp samenvat. Oudere naamgeving wordt normaliter in de eerste zin tussen haakjes vermeld of in een aparte zin met meer uitleg. Romaine (overleg) 25 jan 2018 16:32 (CET)

Romaine, binnen 50 jaar zijn er soms 4 namen voor de zelfde plaats gebruikt. Vaak is niet duidelijk wat maakte dat de naam werd veranderd. De eerste de Duitse is duidelijk en de laatste ook. Wel is vreemd, dat een Duitse halte plaats die na 1945-1949 niet meer werd gebruikt toch binnen alle sites, die zich hiermee bezighouden, de Duitse naam wordt veranderd in een Poolse. Ik dacht voor jet sjabloon aan een kopje alternatieve naam. Lidewij (overleg) 25 jan 2018 19:11 (CET)

Deze stations hebben zelden 4 namen. In de vroegere Duitse gebieden is er een Duitse naam van voor 1945 en als er in Polen weer treinen reden, dan heeft zo'n station natuurlijk een Poolse naam gekregen. Dat er op sommige Poolse internetsites Poolse namen gegeven worden aan stations waar na WO2 geen trein meer gereden heeft, is natuurlijk geen reden om zo'n Poolse naam hier ook op te nemen. Dat er jaren terug zelfs botmatig beginnetjes zijn aangemaakt voor wel en niet bestaande Poolse stations, die ook nog eens niet allemaal meer open zijn, maakt het nog gecompliceerder. De Geo (overleg) 25 jan 2018 21:06 (CET)

Structured Commons - Design feedback request: Multilingual Captions

Hello! You are receiving this message because you signed up for the the community focus group for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons.

The Structured Data on Commons team has a new design feedback request up for Multilingual Captions support in the Upload Wizard. Visit the page for more information about the potential designs. Discussion and feedback is welcome there.

On a personal note, you'll see me posting many of these communications going forward for the Structured Data project, as SandraF transitions into working on the GLAM side of things for Structured Data on Commons full time. For the past six months she's been splitting time between the two roles (GLAM and Community Liaison). I'm looking forward to working with you all again. Thank you, happy editing.

Hoi Romaine,

Zie hier. Ik had min of meer de coaching al aanvaard maar stuitte toen op het dossier. Daarna maakte mijn "pupil" richting MoiraMoira de gewraakte opmerking dat behoud van het artikel nodig was om examen te doen.

Wat mij betreft, ik denk dat zo'n opdracht op zich wel kan, maar het moet goed besproken worden met de docent. De huidige situatie kan niet. En eigenlijk... het idee dat de gemeenschap op wp-nl voor examinator speelt via de beoordelingslijst is imho ethisch verkeerd.

De school kan bv. een introductieles Wikipedia-bewerken opnemen in de cursus, voordat ze de studenten los laat hier. Wikimedia kan helpen door bv. op de snelcursus te wijzen. Die kan de docent omvormen tot een powerpointje, waar de docent dan opdracht(en) op een zandbakpagina bij kan geven (bv. wikificeren van een tekst). Daarna zou de student in staat moeten zijn op eigen houtje te werk te gaan. Een paar coaches van hier plus de docent is voldoende om de boel hier in de gaten kunnen houden.

Ik wil wel helpen, maar eerst moet de school aangeven of en wat ze willen.

Vr. groet, Woudloper _overleg 25 jan 2018 15:51 (CET)

De school heeft gereageerd en gaf aan dat de docent de studenten begeleidde. Daarna heb ik alles uitgezocht en hen teruggemaild wat de resultante was en dat daar geen sprake van was en ze gevraagd te reageren. Tot op heden heb ik geen reactie gekregen. Mocht die nog komen dan houd ik jullie op de hoogte. De naam van de docent (daar vroeg Romaine me nog om) weet ik helaas niet. MoiraMoira _overleg 25 jan 2018 16:28 (CET)

Ik heb gebeld en gemaild, hopelijk komt er een reactie. Romaine (overleg) 25 jan 2018 16:30 (CET)

Tot op heden geen enkele reactie gekregen helaas. MoiraMoira _overleg 29 jan 2018 10:27 (CET)

Ik heb een reactie gekregen ondertussen. Alle studenten hebben kunnen meedoen aan de examens. Door de examenperiode wil men wachten tot die voorbije zijn en het dan met mij bespreken. Romaine (overleg) 29 jan 2018 14:46 (CET)

Ik zie die graag tegemoet via mail vooral gezien het wangedrag van sommige studenten richting Wikipedia en de beslissing of we deze hogeschool nog wel toegang moeten geven gezien de dreiging met juridische actie in de mail die ik ontving van hen. MoiraMoira _overleg 30 jan 2018 10:22 (CET)

Vraagje

Beste Romaine ik hoop dat je me kunt helpen om het onderstaande wikispecies-sjabloon links te laten uitlijnen. Bij het {commons}- sjabloon werkt de code |align=left wel maar bij {species} niet? Ik heb van alles geprobeerd maar het wil me niet lukken... Groetjes, Bart -B kimmel (overleg) 27 jan 2018 14:32 (CET)

Uitgevoerd - Aan de linkerkant uitlijnen is alleen geschikt als er in een artikel een grote witruimte bestaat ls gevolg van bijvoorbeeld een infobox of afbeeldingen rechts die het artikel lang maken. - Romaine (overleg) 27 jan 2018 14:34 (CET)

{{commonscatklein|align=left|Ameiva polops}} {{wikispeciesklein|align=left|Ameiva polops}}

Ik maar kijken en zoeken wat je op deze pagina had aangepast tot ik zag dat je het slabloon hebt veranderd! Heel erg bedankt voor de snelle actie! Groetjes, Bart -B kimmel (overleg) 27 jan 2018 14:45 (CET)

Hallo Romaine,

Hartelijk dank voor je enthousiaste presentatie bij de Universiteitsbibliotheek gisteren. Ik moest hals over kop weg uit de bijeenkomst en heb je niet persoonlijk kunnen bedanken. Bij deze!

Staande Maria met Christus

Beste Romaine, kan jij aan de hand van de foto iets meer vertellen over Staande Maria met Christus. Wat hier afgebeeld is en "wat hangt er boven hun hoofd"? Ik ben in het geheel niet thuis in geloofszaken.Ceescamel (overleg) 3 feb 2018 16:00 (CET)

Sjabloon:Infobox plaats Verenigde Staten

Verplaatst van Overleg gebruiker:Romaine/Archief 2017#Sjabloon:Infobox plaats Verenigde Staten

Romaine. Het was me opgevallen dat er een aantal infoboxen verkeerd ingevuld waren en had dit opgemerkt op de "plaats_in_Verenigde_Staten". helpdesk-pagina. Hier werd ik verwezen naar deze pagina en lees ik dat jullie het ook al hadden gezien. Op de archiefpagina van bots-verzoeken zag ik wel de aanvraag voor een bot voor Finland staan, maar ik kan er nergens iets over de VS vinden. Is hier al meer over bekend?

Tech News: 2018-06

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

Recent changes

• Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to. [26]
• The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language. [27]
• Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded. [28]

Problems

• Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this. [29]

Changes later this week

• When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users. [30]
• When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like gallery widths="150px". You could use em or % instead of px but it would make no difference. You can now only use 150px or nothing (150). If you write something else, instead of treating it like px, it will not work. [31]
• The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of Ja or Nee it will say Thank and Cancel. It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public. [32]
• Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it. [33]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 February at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 7 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Education Program extension will be removed on 30 June. It is replaced by the Programs and Events Dashboard. [34][35]

DJ-nummer (3944)

Beste Romaine,

Gewoonlijk nummer ik mijn bewerkingen (op kleine wiki-aanpassingen na). DJ staat voor De Jaren, mijn gebruikersnaam in de wikipedia. Normaliter komen deze nummers terecht in het bewerkingsveld en zijn ze dus voor de lezer of bewerker van een artikel niet direct zichtbaar. Maar soms lukt het niet om dit volgnummer in het bewerkingsveld te zetten, en dan zet ik het achter de vier tildes.

Met vriendelijke groet, De Jaren (overleg) 12 feb 2018 06:36 (CET) (Olof Bekedam)

Tech News: 2018-07

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

Recent changes

• TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator. [36][37][38]
• Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.

Changes later this week

• You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages. [39]
• The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like {{reflist}}, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates. [40]
• The abuse filter extension has a new feature contains_all that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. [41]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 13 February at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Structured Data feedback - What gets stored where (Ontology)

Greetings,

There is a new feedback request for Structured Data on Commons (link for messages posted to Commons: , regarding what metadata from a file gets stored where. Your participation is appreciated.

wijziging sjablonen

Hoi Romaine. Ik heb een voorstel voor de wijziging van in elk geval de infoboxen Film en Televisieprogramma. Ik heb mijn voorstel nu geplaatst op de overlegpagina Wikipedia:Sjablonen (Overleg Wikipedia:Sjablonen#IMDb) maar ik denk dat dit niet de goede plek is. Wellicht kan ik ook terecht op de OP van de betreffende infoboxen, maar ik vraag mij af of er ergens een algemene pagina is, aangezien mijn voorstel over meerdere infoboxen gaat. Overigens wordt jouw mening in deze natuurlijk ook zeer op prijs gesteld. Alvast bedankt! mvg. Happytravels (overleg) 16 feb 2018 13:15 (CET)

Beoordelingsnominatie Lijst van oorlogsmonumenten in Littenseradeel

Een Wikipedia-gebruiker heeft één of meer artikelen die u hebt gestart of waar u aan hebt gewerkt genomineerd voor beoordeling. Dit betekent dat deze gebruiker het artikel op dit moment niet geschikt acht voor Wikipedia. Het gaat om Lijst van oorlogsmonumenten in Littenseradeel dat is genomineerd door Cycn. De reden hiervoor staat op Wikipedia:Te beoordelen pagina's/Toegevoegd 20180216 en dat is ook de plek waar u kunt reageren op de nominatie. Wellicht hebt u er iets aan om de conventies door te lezen; daar kunt u zien hoe een artikel eruit hoort te zien. Zie ook Help:Waarom staat mijn artikel op de beoordelingslijst. Mocht het artikel na 2 weken als niet voldoende worden beoordeeld, dan zal het worden verwijderd.

N.B. dit is een automatisch bericht geplaatst door een bot. Ik heb niets met de nominatie te maken en kan er niets aan doen. Als u vragen hebt, kunt u die het beste stellen aan de gebruiker die het artikel genomineerd heeft. --Nlwikibots (overleg) 17 feb 2018 01:14 (CET)

We nodigen je uit voor donderdag 8 maart

Op 40 plekken wereldwijd!

Je bent van harte uitgenodigd om op 8 maart deel te nemen aan een uniek evenement op de residentie van de Zweedse Ambassade aan de Lange Voorhout 28 in Den Haag. We zullen daar een middag werken aan Wikipedia-artikelen over toonaangevende vrouwen in wetenschap, bedrijfsleven, cultuur en politiek.

Waarom organiseren we dit evenement?
Dit evenement is onderdeel van een internationale #Wikigap actie waaraan 40 (!) Zweedse ambassades deelnemen. De Zweedse regering is de eerste regering in de wereld die een feministisch buitenlandbeleid heeft afgekondigd, waarbij gelijke vertegenwoordiging voor mannen en vrouwen een van de fundamenten is. De gendergap werkgroep werkt al enkele jaren hard aan het verkleinen van de #Wikigap binnen Wikimedia projecten.

Wikidata weekly summary #300

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Welcome to the 300th Weekly Summary!

The weekly newsletter was started by Lydia at the very beginning of the Wikidata project, even before the first deployment, to keep the community informed about the developments, the new projects and tools. More than five years later, the newsletter is still there, its content powered by the community, and sent every week all along the years. I wanted to say a warm "thank you!" to each person who helped filling the Weekly Summary <3

Over the past years, as you know, Wikidata has grown a lot. More data, more tools, more editors and reusers, more exciting projects led by the community. The Weekly Summary has evolved with us, and the 300th edition seems a good moment to ask you all your suggestions about the newsletter, how it could continue evolving, and how you would like to improve it.

On that purpose, you can find a feedback page to express all your ideas about the Weekly Summary. We're very interested to know more about your reading habits, the parts you're more or less interested in, the new topics you would like to share with the community. Thanks in advance for filling it.

I stay available anytime to discuss with you, feel free to contact me if you have any question or concern! Cheers, Léa

• A selection of cool tools on Wikidata

Here are a few tools that are recommended by some Wikidata community members. External websites, gadgets or scripts, they are very useful for Wikidata editors or users!

• • The Wikidata Query Service is an infinite source of amazing data and one of the best ways to explore and use Wikidata. (TweetsFactsAndQueries)
  • QuickStatements is a powerful tool that can edit or add Wikidata item en masse, via a text editor or importing a spreadsheet. (Éder Porto via Facebook)
  • Mix'n'match (manual), which helps us to interlink Wikidata with the rest of the web and the world :-) (Spinster, Siobhan via Twitter)
  • WikiShootMe! allows you to see Wikidata items plotted out on a map and shows you whether they have images or not. (Ham II)
  • Yair Rand's WikidataInfo script adds the QID of the equivalent Wikidata item to the page being viewed (on sister projects), along with its Wikidata label and description. (Andy Mabbett)
  • Recoin measures the degree of completeness of relevant properties of a Wikidata item and suggests any relevant statements that can be added to the item. (Rachmat04)
  • Template:Wikidata list ("Listeria") Self-updating lists on wiki pages, to drive projects and show results. Over 14,000 now live. (Jheald)
  • DuplicateReferences gadget adds a link to copy references and add them to other statements on the same item. (PKM)
  • checkConstraints gadget adds notifications on the interface to easily notice the violation of constraints and help people fixing them (Léa)
  • Resolve authors lists scientific articles with the property author name string (P2093) and groups them on the basis of co-authors and topic, which helps to distinguish people referred to by identical name strings. (Daniel Mietchen)
  • The Wiki Loves Monuments map is powered by Wikidata. You can look for a city and find the monuments around. (Stefano Sabatini via Facebook)

Afbeeldingsnaam onder afbeelding

Hoi Romaine. Op de pagina Loja (stad) staat de afbeeldingsnaam onder de afbeelding ("kaart"). Dat lijkt mij niet de bedoeling. Heb jij een idee wat er hier misgaat? Met vriendelijke groeten, 4ever_(Overleg) 27 feb 2018 17:01 (CET)

Hi Smile4ever, de afbeeldingsnaam staat in de infobox omdat die infobox de mogelijkheid biedt om een losse kaart in te voegen. Er zijn dus twee opties: ofwel de afbeeldingsnaam wordt weggehaald, of er wordt een volwaardige bestandsnaam van gemaakt. In dit geval heb ik eerst maar eens het sjabloon teruggezet voordat deze onterecht aangepast werd. Romaine (overleg) 27 feb 2018 17:08 (CET)

Hoi Romaine. Na jouw aanpassing is de infobox terug in orde. Hartelijk dank. Met vriendelijke groeten, 4ever_(Overleg) 28 feb 2018 10:29 (CET)

De vrouwen die je nooit hebt ontmoet 2018

Beste Romaine, kun je deze schrijfwedstrijd ook vermelden bij de themaweken/verzendlijst en onderstaand bericht via de verzendlijst rondsturen? DirkVE overleg 28 feb 2018 09:14 (CET)

Op 8 maart zal voor de tweede maal de #100wikiwoman-challenge eindigen, maar niet gevreesd want er komt meteen een tweede uitdaging aan. Vanaf 5 maart tot 9 april 2018 loopt de schrijfwedstrijd "De vrouwen die je nooit hebt ontmoet". Dit initiatief vindt plaats tijdens Women's History Month en wordt ondersteund door Iberocoop. Deze wedstrijd werd voor het eerst in 2015 georganiseerd op de Engelstalige Wikipedia en vanaf 2017 internationaal. De Nederlandse Wikipedia zal voor de tweede maal deelnemen. Tot nu toe resulteerde dit in 3500 nieuwe of bewerkte artikelen. Het doel is het verbeteren van Wikipedia's artikelen over vrouwen. We bedoelen hiermee ook alle artikelen gerelateerd aan vrouwenorganisaties en feministische bewegingen. Dit kan door bestaande vrouwgerelateerde artikelen zo neutraal mogelijk te maken of nieuwe artikelen te schrijven op een zo genderneutraal mogelijke wijze. Er zijn enkele mooie prijzen te winnen, ter beschikking gesteld door Wikimedia Argentinië en Wikimedia Nederland.

Alle informatie en het wedstrijdreglement is te vinden op De vrouwen die je nooit hebt ontmoet 2018

@DirkVE: Dat kan ik vanavond doen. Romaine (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 16:30 (CET)

Bedankt! DirkVE overleg 4 mrt 2018 17:27 (CET)

Technische vraag

hoi Romaine, XxMarijnxw en ik hebben de laatste tijd geprobeerd om de blokkeerlinks voor ranges in het sjabloon {{ws}} werkend te krijgen. Dit is echter tot op heden nog niet gelukt. De links daarvoor (zoals in het waarschuwingssjabloon (en anderen)) komen uit {{Infobalk waarschuwingssjablonen}}. Zou je kunnen kijken of jij dit wel werkend zou kunnen krijgen? Dit zou enorm helpen bij het bestrijden van vandalisme vanaf eenzelfde IPv6-range. Alvast bedankt. Met vriendelijke groet, Wiki13 (overleg) 28 feb 2018 19:34 (CET)

Hi Wiki13: Mogelijk kan ik helpen, misschien niet. Het probleem zal er voor mij denk ik in zitten dat ik het systeem van ranges (anders dan een serie IP-adressen) niet begrijp. Een tweede aspect zal zijn dat ik niet weet wat je precies wilt. Ik heb er wel net iets in aangepast. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 16:30 (CET)

Hoi Romaine, bedankt voor je reactie. Het gaat er meer om dat er ook ranges ingevoerd kunnen worden, zegmaar iets als 213.243.89.0/26 bijvoorbeeld. Het infobalk sjabloon doet dit al voor sjablonen als {{ws-school}} waarin het al volop gebruikt wordt. Echter met de opkomst van IPv6 is het steeds vaker nog om een hele IPv6 dicht te zetten om een gebruiker te stoppen. Het is nu zo dat we handmatig een range via het blokkeerscherm moeten blokkeren, terwijl een al een ingevulde link door middel van een sjabloon (zodra ingevuld natuurlijk) veel handiger is voor de minder technische moderatoren. Het zou in principe al moeten werken volgens {{Infobalk waarschuwingssjablonen}}, maar wij beiden konden er niet verder mee komen. Ik hoop dat dit het een en ander verduidelijkt. Ik zal verder ook nog even kijken of je wijziging heeft geholpen. Wiki13 (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 16:39 (CET)

Ik denk dat Overleg_gebruiker:2A02:A443:F0C9:1:0:0:0:0/64 een goed voorbeeld hiervoor is. Het geeft een link voor een individueel IP, terwijl daar eigenlijk een knopje zou moeten staan om de range te blokkeren. Wiki13 (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 16:42 (CET)

Ik heb er net even naar gekeken. Er gebeurt iets geks met de parameter, want als ik in dat infobalk-sjabloon {{{2}}} vervang door 2A02:A443:F0C9:1:0:0:0:0/64 dan gaat het wel goed. –bdijkstra (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 17:12 (CET)

(na bwc)Dit maakt het niet bijzonder duidelijker. Laat ik het puntsgewijs bekijken:

• In het voorbeeld staat een link "Blokkeer IP". Begrijp ik goed dat het om die link gaat?
• Die link toont nu Speciaal:Blockip&wpTarget=2A02:A443:F0C9:1:0:0:0:0 -> moet die link daar automatisch /64 achter krijgen?
• Wanneer moet die link aangepast worden?
• Hoe moet dit sjabloon detecteren dat deze een aangepaste blokkeer-url gebruikt? Hoe kan die dat weten?

Romaine (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 17:16 (CET)

Volgens mij heb ik het al opgelost. Sjabloon:ws gaf geen enkele parameters door. –bdijkstra (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 17:40 (CET)

Met dank voor het nadenken @Bdijkstra: en @Romaine:, ik zie nu een Blokkeer IP-range knopje op de bovenstaande pagina. Dat was het doel ook eigenlijk, misschien dat ik hierboven niet helemaal duidelijk was met de intentie erachter. Daarvoor mijn excuses, was niet zo bedoeld. Ik ben al blij dat het werkt nu.

Nederlands-Indisch voetbalelftal

Hello, I need your help :

• I work on the article in french and I noticed a friendly match between the Netherlands and Dutch East Indies, in Amsterdam, the June 26th 1938 (dutch victory 9-2), but I don't understand why it was an unofficial match. Why?
• Moreover, I was surprised because I find Piet Dumortier in polish and in italian but not in dutch. Why?
• Then I only find a coach for the Dutch East Indies team, Johannes Mastenbroek, but the team had played matches in 1934 and I haven't found any information about other coaches.

Cordially.FCNantes72 (overleg) 1 mrt 2018 21:54 (CET)

Why it was an unofficial match is mentioned on lijst van officieuze wedstrijden van het Nederlands voetbalelftal: Olympische Dag. –bdijkstra (overleg) 1 mrt 2018 22:13 (CET)

Unofficial match: the June 1938 match was an Olympic Day Match; Piet Dumortier not in NL-Wiki: "a prophet has no honor in his own country"; more info about the 1934 Dutch East Indies squad at the Tenth Far Eastern Games 1934 (Manila): rsssf.com. Vysotsky (overleg) 2 mrt 2018 00:57 (CET)

Editing News #1—2018

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Did you know?

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, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes

• 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 Special:RecentChanges. [60]
• Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [61]
• The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up. Your wiki can have this service. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.

Let's work together

• The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
• Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
• The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [62]
• If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Bedankt!

Lombardstraat 77

Zicht op de Lombardstraat met in het midden nummer 77. De voronoïdes zijn in de weerkaatsing van het zonlicht goed zichtbaar.

Dag Romaine, je hebt vanmorgen het artikel Lombardstraat 77 aangemaakt. Ik zag dat we op Commons enkele plaatjes hebben waar het gebouw op staat. Het zijn geen geweldige plaatjes, maar eentje is mogelijk goed genoeg. Ik zal hem niet direct in het artikel opnemen gezien het feit dát het geen geweldig plaatje is; kijk maar wat je er van vindt. maarten|overleg 4 mrt 2018 11:30 (CET)

Hi Maartenschrijft: Dank voor het meekijken, ik had die afbeelding echter al gezien. Omdat ik met Google ook geen foto onder vrije licentie kon vinden, ga ik binnenkort er eens langs om een foto te maken van het gebouw. Ik heb een lijstje met gebouwen die ik nog wil fotograferen. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 16:14 (CET)

Op 8 maart zal voor de tweede maal de #100wikiwoman-challenge eindigen, maar niet gevreesd want er komt meteen een tweede uitdaging aan. Vanaf 5 maart tot 9 april 2018 loopt de schrijfwedstrijd "De vrouwen die je nooit hebt ontmoet". Dit initiatief vindt plaats tijdens Women's History Month en wordt ondersteund door Iberocoop. Deze wedstrijd werd voor het eerst in 2015 georganiseerd op de Engelstalige Wikipedia en vanaf 2017 internationaal. De Nederlandse Wikipedia zal voor de tweede maal deelnemen. Tot nu toe resulteerde dit in 3500 nieuwe of bewerkte artikelen. Het doel is het verbeteren van Wikipedia's artikelen over vrouwen. We bedoelen hiermee ook alle artikelen gerelateerd aan vrouwenorganisaties en feministische bewegingen. Dit kan door bestaande vrouwgerelateerde artikelen zo neutraal mogelijk te maken of nieuwe artikelen te schrijven op een zo genderneutraal mogelijke wijze. Er zijn enkele mooie prijzen te winnen, ter beschikking gesteld door Wikimedia Argentinië en Wikimedia Nederland.

Alle informatie en het wedstrijdreglement is te vinden op De vrouwen die je nooit hebt ontmoet 2018

Tech News: 2018-10

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

Recent changes

• You can now make longer edit summaries. [63]

Changes later this week

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. [64]
• On Special:AbuseLog you can now choose to list only actions that actually made an edit. Other actions are when the filter warned the editor or blocked the edit from being made. There are also more search options. [65][66]
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor, but it is complex. The tool will now warn in the JavaScript console if the configuration isn't correct. Soon Citoid will disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [67]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 March. It will be on all wikis from 8 March (calendar).

De Roze Wolk

Da Romaine,

Hoewel ik je grotendeels erkentelijk ben voor het wieden van de commentaarsecties uit het artikel De Roze Wolk (het meeste kon ook wel weg) en eventuele andere bijdragen/correcties, wil ik toch wel opmerken dat er natuurlijk niet voor niets nog een {{meebezig}}-sjabloon in staat (of hopelijk ondertussen stond, omdat ik bezig ben mijn bijdragen af te ronden, omdat ik er zelf onderhand weinig meer over weet dan ik er al in heb gezet, zodat het ook aan anderen is om informatie toe te voegen indien er nog het e.e.a. ontbreekt).

Ik zou vanzelfsprekend het meebezig-sjabloon niet eerder verwijderd hebben dan dat ik de wiki-brontekst van de commentaarsecties had ontdaan. Enkele van de commentaarsecties hadden nog wel een doel/betekenis; zo bevatten naast – als ik het me nog wel herinner – enkele notes-to-self m.b.t. informatie of zaken/delen waar ik nog naar moest kijken/wat brononderzoek wilde doen, en in elk geval wat heen-en-weer informatie naar het gebruikte sjabloon dat ook nieuw is en waar nog wat in aangepast en bijgeschaafd moest worden, al dan niet afhankelijk van hoe e.e.a. uit de verf zo komen (of, zoals ook een paar keer bleek, ingevulde parameters niet werden getoond door kleine (met name copy & paste) foutjes in het infobox-sjabloon. Ook was het de bedoeling om één of meerdere opmerkingen in het commentaar over te zetten naar de (nog niet bestaande) overlegpagina vanuit de wiki-brontekst van het artikel. (Ik moet nu weer terugzoeken welke aantekeningen/opmerkingen uit het commentaar het precies ging).

(Als ik het meebezig-sjabloon al verwijderd had, en al die "rommel" in commentaarsecties stond er nog in, dan hadje me daar zonder meer op aan mogen (zo niet moeten) spreken, maar in dit geval ervaarde ik het door de voortvarendheid waarmee de commentaarsecties werden opgeruimd als dat het nut van het meebezig-sjabloon er een beetje door verloren ging, te meer html-commentaar geen enkel effect heeft of op de getoonde tekst in het artikel.

Ik hoop dan ook dat terwijl ik nu de laatste plooien uit het 'horeca-infobox'-sjabloon aan het gladstrijken ben, en daarom daar dus ook nog een meebezig-sjabloon in heb staan, de commentaarvelden daar nog wel even met rust gelaten worden (tot ik ze zelf heb weggehaald of verplaatst/heb opgenomen in de sjabloon-uitleg of de OP ervan. Met vriendelijke groeten - martix (overleg) 6 mrt 2018 07:24 (CET)

À propos, ik meen haast zeker te weten dat ik categorie-parameter van het {{beginnetje}}=sjabloon al had ingevuld met de ctegorie homohoreca, echter werd door Romainebot vervangen/overschreven door Categorie Landen & volken? (Zelfs als het niet om een overschrijving van een al ingevulde parameter ging, dan is dat toch een merkwaardige 'beginnetje'-categorie? Mvg - martix (overleg) 6 mrt 2018 07:40 (CET)

@martix: Hoewel sommige gebruikers anders denken, een meebezig-sjabloon waarschuwt enkel ervoor dat iemand mogelijk de pagina op dat moment aan het bewerken is en een bewerkingsconflict kan ontstaan. Ik blijf er doorgaans liever vanaf als zo'n sjabloon erop staat, maar het artikel kwam in een beheercategorie terecht die mijn bot dagelijks afwerkt en wat gestoord werd. Zodoende kwam ik langs.

Op z'n vroegst pas als het meebezig-sjabloon eraf gehaald zou zijn terwijl de commentaarteksten er nog stonden zou ik iemand er op wijzen, maar zelfs dat doe ik dan maar sporadisch omdat er niet aandacht hoeft gevraagd te worden op ieder dingetje, zeker niet als ik het zelf op kan lossen.

Wat betreft Beginnetje, er is ooit een vaste structuur van categorieën bedacht en er kan in principe niet zelf een nieuwe beginnetjes-categorie bedacht worden (= 1e parameter). De reden daarvoor is o.a. dat het dan niet mogelijk meer is om met een vergelijkingstool twee categorieën goed met elkaar te vergelijken, want alleen als een wat algemene beginnetjescategorie met een meer specifieke categorie vergeleken wordt kan daar succesvol een resultaat gevonden worden. Er zijn daarnaast twee mogelijke onderverdelingen toepasbaar, sortering naar mens en maatschappij of sortering naar land. Het sorteren naar land wordt steeds meer gebruikt door de steeds groter wordende groep van artikelen die gaan over een specifiek land in plaats van generieke onderwerpen. Homohoreca kan wellicht gebruikt worden als een onderwerpcategorie waarop gecategoriseerd wordt, als beginnetjescategorie is het dus ongeschikt.

Wat betreft Sjabloon:Infobox horeca, ja, die staat als tabblad open te wachten tot je klaar bent, want ook daar zijn wijzigingen nodig. Niet alleen wat betreft verborgen commentaar, maar ook een aantal parametervelden horen niet in een infobox thuis (bv e-mail en telefoonnummer), die zijn jaren terug al uit infoboxen gesloopt wegens onwenselijkheid. Als je meebezig op een sjabloon plaatst, kan dat dus betekenen dat een deel van je werk verloren tijd is, of dat er andere wijzigingen nodig zijn waardoor er later meer werk nodig is om te repareren, in plaats van dat als het meteen aangepakt was dat niet had gehoeven. Meebezig kan dan wel gebruikt worden op sjablonen, het betekent echter bijna altijd meer werk voor anderen doordat het oplossen van issues uitgesteld wordt. Ook op artikelen zou ik liever geen meebezig gebruiken, dan kan iets beter in het kladblok geschreven worden en als het klaar is verplaatst worden. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 6 mrt 2018 13:41 (CET)

Zonder verder in te gaan op de inhoud van het sjabloon, kun je een handje helpen voor wat betreft de documentatie? Dat is volgens mij een apart document wat op een voor mij duistere wijze aan het sjabloon wordt geknoopt. Kun jij zo'n documentatie-document toevoegen? The Banner Overleg 6 mrt 2018 14:12 (CET)

Als Martix klaar is ga ik de documentatie op orde brengen, komt goed. Romaine (overleg) 6 mrt 2018 14:14 (CET)

@Romaine:, @The Banner: ik loop verschrikkelijk achter op mijn belofte in het {meebezig}-sjabloon (waarvoor aan iedereen mijn nederige en welgemeende excuses), maar nóg dit (Paas)weekend maak ik het sjabloon "schoon" en zal ik de uitleg (beter) structuren / dubbele uitleg e.d verwijderen, en in elk geval Romaine op de hoogte brengen zodat die eventuele foutjes die ik heb gemist kan fiksen/dingen die in 'uniform' zijn met andere sjablonen in lijn kan brengen met al dan niet ongeschreven richtlijnen. Nogmaals excuses voor het telkenmale overschrijven van (door mijzelf opgelegde) deadlines, graag jullie begrip daarvoor. Met vriendelijke groet, - martix (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 13:40 (CEST)

Straten in Brussel

Hallo Romaine,

Voor je projectje met straten in Brussel: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/wO8

Die query kan nog aangepast worden. Export naar CSV is ook mogelijk. Het gebied (nu enkel Brussel Centrum, postcode 1000) kan uitgebreid worden.

OpenStreetMap <-> Wikidata

This video illustrates what I want to propose for GSoC this year:

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/46746027

It only starts to get interesting at 30 minutes... Everything before that is about mapping and the importing of schools in Uganda.

The script I'm using there: https://github.com/PolyglotOpenstreetmap/Python-scripts-to-automate-JOSM/blob/master/UseWDTKtoCreateWDitems.py

Ik wil iets vergelijkbaars, maar dan als plugin voor onze JOSM editor dat door iedereen gebruikt kan worden en natuurlijk niet enkel voor scholen.

Tech News: 2018-11

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

Recent changes

• 3D models can now be uploaded to Commons. [68]
• Page Previews has been updated to use HTML for previews. This has fixed many issues. An A/B test was done on English and German Wikipedia to measure how it is used. Other changes were also made. [69]
• Some edits have to be checked against too many conditions before they can trigger an abuse filter. If that is the reason no filter is triggered the edit will be tagged for review. [70]
• Auto-saving has been added to the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. Right now it is meant to help if your browser crashes or if you accidentally close a tab. [71]

Problems

• The abuse filter did not tag all edits that should have been tagged after last week's MediaWiki version had come to the wikis. It was fixed on 9 March (UTC). [72]

Changes later this week

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. This was originally planned to happen last week. [73]
• It is now possible to specify the block parameters for each filter in Special:AbuseFilter. The parameters include block duration and if the user should be blocked from editing their own talk page. The block duration is separate for anonymous and registered users. [74][75]
• A hundred Wikimedia wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 13 and 14 March. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [76][77][78]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 March. It will be on all wikis from 15 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 13 March at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Sjabloon:Infobox plaats in land

Hoi, over deze terugdraaiing: kan je aangeven waar je hebt gemerkt dat het fout ging? –bdijkstra (overleg) 16 mrt 2018 09:33 (CET)

Hi bdijkstra, Er stond letterlijk in honderden infoboxen een foutmelding onder de kaartjes in de infoboxen. Romaine (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 16:02 (CET)

Ik heb een heel aantal artikelen gecheckt en het leek goed te gaan. Je hebt geen honderden infoboxen bekeken neem ik aan, dus hoe ben je daar achter gekomen? –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 16:06 (CET)

Ik zocht informatie over een bepaalde plaats, toen het me opviel dat er onder beide kaartjes die foutmelding stond. Deze infobox alleen al wordt krap 4000 keer gebruikt en ik heb toen een steekproef genomen op een serie artikelen en overal ging het met deze infobox fout. In enkelen willekeurige andere plaatsen die ik buiten België bekeek ging het ook fout.

Daarnaast is de constructie om parameters via deze manier te groeperen volgens mij een risicovolle. Als zoiets al nodig is, zou zoiets altijd in het moedersjabloon geregeld moeten worden, niet hier (de dochter). Romaine (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 16:18 (CET)

Ok bedankt. Toen ik mijn kladversie van Sjabloon:Infobox_plaats_in_land gebruikte in de infobox van Beringen-Mijn, ging het goed, dus het ligt aan de manier van doorgeven van de coördinaatparameters. Net even geprobeerd te groeperen in het moedersjabloon, maar dat ging ook fout. Heb je een idee hoe ik dit kan debuggen zonder tientallen sjablonen aan te maken in m'n eigen naamruimte? –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 20:07 (CET)

First structured licensing conversation on Commons

Greetings,

The first conversation about structured copyright and licensing for Structured Data on Commons has been posted, please come by and participate. The discussion will be open through the end of the month (March). Thank you. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 16 mrt 2018 18:26 (CET)

Stamboom2

Teststamboom 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.2 2.1.1 2.1.2 2.2

Hallo Romaine,

Sinds kort (afgelopen week vermoed ik) merk ik dat het sjbloon:Stamboom2 anders werkt, met name bij {{Stamboom2/einde aftakking}} en {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} als deze op elkaar volgen (zie code). Ik gebruik Google Chrome op Windows 10. Volgens mij zijn deze sjablonen echter de laatste tijd niet gewijzigd. Heb jij een idee waaraan dit ligt en of het verholpen kan worden? PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 11:29 (CET)

De sjablonen zijn inderdaad niet gewijzigd, en MediaWiki:Common.css ook niet, dus mogelijk heeft het iets te maken met het inschakelen van de nieuwe parser. De voorbeelden op Sjabloon:Stamboom2 zien er nog goed uit, dus ik vermoed een verkeerd gebruik wat met de oude parser niet opviel. –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 11:46 (CET)

Hallo Bdijkstra,
De voorbeelden op Sjabloon:Stamboom2 zijn te simpel om het probleem te laten zien. Het gaat fout als {{Stamboom2/einde aftakking}} en {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} elkaar volgen op opeenvolgende nieveaus of als ze volgen op {{Stamboom2/einde tak}}. Als ik deze twee vermijd, dan is er geen probleem, maar is de afbeelding geheel anders:

Teststamboom 1 hier ging het fout met {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.2 2.1 hier ging het fout met {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} 2.1.1 2.1.2 2.2

In ieder geval was de pagina Gebruiker:PAvdK/Kladblok/Domeinen supergroepen rijken eerst zonder fouten in de afbeeldingen, en nu zie ik her en der problemen. PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 13:15 (CET)

Zijn deze voorbeelden niet te simpel? –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 14:01 (CET)

Het gaat om de ongelabelde takken, als deze genest worden. Voorbeeld simpel (ongeneste takken):

• Een tak op het eerste niveau
  • • Een tak op het derde niveau (deze wordt hieronder vervangen door geneste takken)
    • Nog een tak op het derde niveau
    • De laatste tak op het derde niveau
  • Een tak op het tweede niveau
  • • Een tak op het derde niveau (deze wordt hieronder vervangen door geneste takken)
    • De laatste tak op het derde niveau

→ Voorbeeld met geneste, ongelabelde takken:

• Een tak op het eerste niveau
  • • • Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het fout)
      • Nog een tak op het vierde niveau
    • Nog een tak op het derde niveau
    • De laatste tak op het derde niveau
  • Een tak op het tweede niveau
  • • • Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het fout)
      • De laatste tak op het vierde niveau
    • De laatste tak op het derde niveau

Conclusie: soms gaat het goed, en soms ook niet bij ongelabelde, geneste takken (bv als {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} dubbel genest wordt gebruikt, of als {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} wordt genest in {{Stamboom2/einde aftakking}}. PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 14:33 (CET)

Gelukkig hebben ze op afwiki nog de oude parser, en ook deze sjablonen. Zo te zien is het probleem in ieder geval te omzeilen door geen sterretjes te gebruiken:

Een tak op het eerste niveau Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het foutgoed) Nog een tak op het vierde niveau Nog een tak op het derde niveau De laatste tak op het derde niveau Een tak op het tweede niveau Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het foutgoed) De laatste tak op het vierde niveau De laatste tak op het derde niveau

De nieuwe parser geeft vergelijkbare code, maar voegt om een of andere reden her en der <li class="mw-empty-elt"> </li> toe. –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 15:36 (CET)

Bedankt voor deze (hopelijk voorlopige) oplossing. Ik ken de tags weliswaar niet, maar goed spieken zal vast wel helpen. PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 16:22 (CET)

Worden deze dubbele geneste ongelabelde takken ook in artikelen gebruikt? –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 20:36 (CET)

Vooral in stambomen. Een willekeurig voorbeeld is de "Fylogenetische stamboom van de Archeophyta, vereenvoudigd schema" in het artikel Embryophyta#Geslachtelijke voortplanting. Dit soort stambomen zijn ook wel verwerkt in sjablonen. PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 21:05 (CET)

Voorbeeld Sjabloon:Stamboom van het cellulaire leven. PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 21:06 (CET)

Romaine, denk je dat dit lokaal is op te lossen of is dit iets voor Phabricator? –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 21:19 (CET)

Deze werkt wel goed op de Engelse WP

{{Tree list}}
* Een tak op het eerste niveau
** {{Tree list/branching}}
*** {{Tree list/branching}}
**** Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het fout)
**** {{Tree list/final branch}} Nog een tak op het vierde niveau
*** Nog een tak op het derde niveau
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} De laatste tak op het derde niveau
** Een tak op het tweede niveau
** {{Tree list/final branching}}
*** {{Tree list/branching}}
**** Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het fout)
**** {{Tree list/final branch}} De laatste tak op het vierde niveau
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} De laatste tak op het derde niveau
{{Tree list/end}}

Er is wat met de parser, lijkt het mij. PAvdK (overleg) 18 mrt 2018 09:57 (CET)

Ik ben wel geïnteresseerd naar of en wat er achter de schermen gedaan wordt aan dit probleem (ITIL Problem Management). Of moet ik dit probleem bij de Helpdesk voorleggen? PAvdK (overleg) 21 mrt 2018 11:12 (CET)

Er zal denk ik nagekeken moeten worden wat de verschillen zijn met en-wiki, mogelijk een verschil in de common.js pagina aldaar. Romaine (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 02:39 (CEST)

Common.css bedoel je? Nee, dat is het niet. De nieuwe parser genereert extra lege <li>-elementen waardoor de first-child-selector in de CSS dat element pakt i.p.v. die daarna. Ik ken CSS niet goed genoeg om te beoordelen of dit via CSS is op te lossen. –bdijkstra (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 09:18 (CEST)

Wat ik bedoelde te zeggen, nl-wiki draait in principe op dezelfde software als en-wiki, zelfde versie. Dit behoudens ongelijktijdige updates. We hebben dit sjabloon overgenomen vanaf en-wiki, zij hebben ook meer mankracht om een oplossing te bedenken. Als het probleem op en-wiki niet speelt lijkt het me goed te bekijken waar dat verschil in zit. Of anders daar vragen of ze mogelijk weten waar het door komt. Romaine (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 10:55 (CEST)

Ik heb net verteld waar het verschil in zit. Op en-wiki zijn ze nog lang niet klaar voor de nieuwe parser. Maar wellicht geen slecht idee om daar te vragen, daar staan ze hetzelfde probleem te wachten. –bdijkstra (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 11:33 (CEST)

Aldaar gevraagd, zie en:Template_talk:Tree_list#Tree_list_will_break. –bdijkstra (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 12:45 (CEST)

 Uitgevoerd Gerepareerd met deze wijziging. Het kan nodig zijn om de browsercache van de pagina te verversen (meestal Ctrl+F5).

• Hartelijke dank voor de inzet; alles lijkt nu in orde voor zover ik heb gezien aan mijn pagina Gebruiker:PAvdK/Kladblok/Domeinen supergroepen rijken. Alleen hierboven, net onder het tussenkopje Stamboom2, lijkt het voor mij niet te kloppen. Ik heb geprobeerd de browsercache van de pagina te verversen (met Ctrl+F5), maar dat lijkt niet te helpen.

Tech News: 2018-13

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

Changes later this week

• Some of the interface icons and text sizes will change slightly, as part of the updates for improved accessibility and consistency. These icons are used in many features, including Notifications, Recent Changes, Beta Features, Visual Editor, 2017 Wikitext Editor, Code Editor, and others. While editor toolbars, dialogs, and menus will appear slightly bigger; elements on special pages will be slightly smaller. Functionality will not change. [82] [83]
• The deprecated #toc and #toctitle CSS ids have been removed. If your wiki was still using these for fake Tables of Content (ToC) then these might lose their styling. They can be replaced with .toc and .toctitle classes where appropriate. [84]
• TemplateStyles will be deployed to the Wikivoyages on 28 March 2018. [85]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 March. It will be on all wikis from 29 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 27 March at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be one hour earlier than usual on 28 March at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• From 9 April, the sort order of categories will be distorted for a short time. We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a maintenance script to update existing database entries. This will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on wiki size. Read more details. [86]
• Changes are coming to search for Serbian projects. Cyrillic and Latin variants of a word and different grammatical forms of a word will be able to find each other. Read more on MediaWiki in Serbian or English.

Grasmarkt

Hallo Romaine, er bestaat ook een Grasmarkt in Luxembourg City. Misschien moet overwogen worden de naam van het lemma te wijzigen in Grasmarkt (Brussel). Wat denk je? Lotje (overleg) 27 mrt 2018 11:14 (CEST)

Hi Lotje, Letterlijk vertaald is in Luxemburg een straat met de naam: Grasmarktstraat. In Brussel heet het plein in het Nederlands: Grasmarkt. (Dat er mogelijk een vertaalinconsistentie bestaat in Brussel verklaart wellicht het verschil ten opzichte van het Frans.) Hernoemen lijkt me dus niet aan de orde. Romaine (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 02:43 (CEST)

Sjabloon

Hallo Romaine, aangezien ik een heel aantal jaren geleden ook al bij je terecht was gekomen in mijn zoektocht naar een werkend sjabloon, wou ik het deze keer weer proberen. Ik zou graag deze diagram willen bewerken en wel zodanig dat er begrippen in komen te staan. Precies zoals hier is gedaan dus. Alleen als ik dit kopieer gaat het hopeloos fout. Weet jij misschien hoe dit moet worden gedaan? M.v.g. «BKannen» 27 mrt 2018 21:47 (CEST)

Bedankt! Daar had ik zelf nog niet aan gedacht. Pagina is nu aangemaakt, alleen nu is er een ongewenste scrolbalk zichtbaar aan de rechterzijde. Hoe krijg ik die dan weg? Edit: Die balk is nu weg, maar het sjabloon staat nu te ver naar links. Gr. «BKannen» 27 mrt 2018 23:17 (CEST)

Sjabloon:Afbeelding label begin is in de loop der tijd wat gaan afwijken van de Engelse variant. Dit heeft inderdaad wat ongewenste effecten. Misschien gewoon de Engelse versie (weer) importeren. –bdijkstra (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 00:03 (CEST)

Sjabloon hernoemd: navigatie is de balk onderaan, zijbalk een sjabloon rechts. Het sjabloon lijkt nu een ongelijk aantal div's te hebben, het begint met één div en in Afbeelding label eind zitten er twee. Of zie ik een div over het hoofd? Romaine (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 10:59 (CEST)

BTNI

Misschien kun je eens een babbel maken met jouw botje en hem uitleggen dat een wijziging zoals deze een pure BTNI-wijziging is en de zinloosheid ten top. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 09:37 (CEST)

Het gebruik van de parameter sectie= is onzinnig gebruik, hier in deze casus helemaal en wordt al vele jaren weggehaald. Daarom ook nu. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 09:40 (CEST)

Onzinnig is niet hetzelfde als foutief. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 10:08 (CEST)

Het is verkeerd gebruik van de betreffende parameter en wordt daarom aangepast. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 10:15 (CEST)

Dan kan je mij vast wel vertellen waar en wanneer afgesproken is dat dit botmatig opgelost moet worden. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 18:36 (CEST)

Waarom zou dat ergens "afgesproken" moeten worden? Het wijzigen van verkeerd gebruikte parameters kan, mits dat goed gebeurt, het beste met een bot om een zo groot mogelijke kwaliteit te krijgen. Handmatig corrigeren levert een groter risico op fouten op. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 18:42 (CEST)

Voor zo ver ik weet moeten bot-projecten door de gemeenschap goedgekeurd worden... The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 20:45 (CEST)

Als dat zo is kun je me vast ook de plek aanwijzen waar is afgesproken dat een bot spellingscorrecties kan uitvoeren, of dat bots links naar dooverwijspagina's oplossen, of dat bots verwijderde/hernoemde afbeeldingen weghalen/vervangen, of een van de tig andere taken die bots uitvoeren. De meeste van die taken zijn niet specifiek voor bots goedgekeurd door de gemeenschap, omdat er geen onderscheid gemaakt wordt tussen mensen of bots die deze wijzigingen doen.

Kun je me trouwens vertellen waar er afgesproken is dat gebruikers verkeerd gebruikte parameters in stand mogen houden, ook al is die gebruiker er op gewezen dat het foutief gebruik betreft? Bewust fouten introduceren is volgens mij niet de bedoeling. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 21:01 (CEST)

Verkeerd gebruik is niet per definitie fout. En je kan het geheel vinden in WP:BTNI, wat stelt: als het niet fout is, hoeft het niet gecorrigeerd te worden. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 21:34 (CEST)

(deze discussie werd genoemd op irc)

Ik ben blij dat Romaine dit soort dingen met een bot op orde houdt. Weet je wat pas zinloos? Deze hele discussie. Laat die bot gewoon z'n werk doen. Niets mis met deze bewerking. Enorm kinderachtig gedrag om de bewerking terug te draaien of probeer je soms weer een bewerkingsoorlog te starten? Multichill (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 21:43 (CEST)

(na bwc) Je kan dus geen afspraken aanhalen omdat je redenatie niet klopt, dank voor de bevestiging.

Dat iets wat verkeerd is, niet fout is is krom. Dat iets verkeerd is niet aangepast mag worden omdat The Banner het niet snapt, bv waarom verkeerd gebruik tot problemen kan leiden, tja... BTNI wordt te vaak aangehaald als motivatie wanneer iemand niets beters als reden kan bedenken, zo ook dus hier.

Een verbetering aanbrengen om sjablonen goed werkbaar te houden en het opruimen van loze parameters, dat is gewoon onderhoud. Dat is geen BTNI, het is een concrete verbetering. Fouten worden er daarbij uitgehaald in de werking van sjablonen en daardoor wordt het gemakkelijker sjablonen te gebruiken.

Echter dat ik je regelmatig de Appendix zie vervangen in References, dat is BTNI! Want die wijziging is puur gebaseerd op een smaakkwestie (afkeur van Appendix door jou). Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 21:44 (CEST)

BTNI wordt te vaak terzijde geschoven door hobbyisten die de regels maar lastig vinden. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 22:00 (CEST)

Ach wel ja, een jij-bak.

Een ander wijzen op BTNI, terwijl je er zelf schijt aan hebt, waarom val je dan anderen ermee lastig? En nogmaals, je redenatie is compleet onzin. Weet je waar onzin thuishoort? In de prullenbak.

Als iemand met serieuze feedback komt hoor ik dat graag en neem ik het ter harte. Dan ga ik er wel van uit dat diegene serieus zich verdiept in het onderwerp, serieuze argumenten aandraagt, dat doe je duidelijk niet. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 22:10 (CEST)

@The Banner: je bent met vuur aan het spelen. Je bent dit jaar al twee keer geblokkeerd wegens persoonlijke aanvallen. De volgende blokkade zal 1 week zijn. Wat denk jij @CaAl: ? Multichill (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 22:24 (CEST)

Tja, dreigen met blokkades is ook een manier om een discussie te beslechten. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 23:11 (CEST)

Tja, met buzzwoorden een discussie is ook een manier om een discussie te beslechten. Hint: werkt niet. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 23:21 (CEST)

WP:BTNI is geen buzzword. The Banner Overleg 31 mrt 2018 10:04 (CEST)

Ik werd hierboven gepingd. Deze hele discussie is langs mij heengegaan, dus het voelt ongemakkelijk om nu mee te doen aan een soort van waarschuwing. Heel erg in het algemeen: The Banner komt geregeld te fel uit de hoek en is daar in het verleden meermaals voor geblokkeerd. Er bestaat een verhogingsregel, maar toepassing daarvan is niet verplicht. Als de bedoelde PA "hobbyisten" is: ik snap dat deze als vervelend wordt ervaren, maar om voor zoiets een blok te geven zou mij wel wat ver gaan. Tenzij, wellicht, het een terugkerend verwijt is (maar of dat zo is, weet ik niet, want de discussie ging langs mij heen.) CaAl (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 11:30 (CEST)

Tankmonumenten

Hoi Romaine,

Mag ik weten waarom je het monument Tankmonument 17pdr SP Achilles ook nog de desambiguatie (La Roche-en-Ardenne) hebt gegeven? En overigens hetzelfde hebt gedaan bij het monument Tankmonument M4A1 Sherman? Beide monumenten zijn uniek in hun naam. Dqfn13 (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 20:39 (CEST)

Ja, dat mag. Ik kwam er simpelweg niet uit welke naam ik er aan moest geven. Oorspronkelijk wilde ik Tankmonument (La Roche-en-Ardenne) aanmaken, maar toen bleken het er twee te zijn. "Tankmonument 17pdr SP Achilles" is denk ik niet de naam van het monument, eerder gewoon Tankmonument. Als je een suggestie hebt hoe ik tussen de twee monumenten in Roche beter onderscheid kan maken hoor ik het graag. Romaine (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 20:47 (CEST)

Tja, ik kom er niet vandaan... dus ik zou niet weten hoe die twee daar genoemd worden. Ik weet niet hoe ze in de bronnen genoemd worden, maar die namen zou je aan "moeten" houden. Dqfn13 (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 20:54 (CEST)

In de bronnen kom ik niet echt duidelijke namen tegen. Ik denk dat ik ga voor deze titel: Tankmonument (17pdr SP Achilles, La Roche-en-Ardenne) + Tankmonument (M4A1 Sherman, La Roche-en-Ardenne). Romaine (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 21:13 (CEST)

Die zijn hoe dan ook goed en ik denk ook wel iets logischer. Bedankt voor het meedenken en een hele fijne avond. Dqfn13 (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 21:22 (CEST)

Wikiproject Åland?

Hoi Romaine,

naar aanleiding van jouw tip daarnet om mijn bijdrage te melden op de lijst van Wikiproject België, vraag ik je advies. Ik ben al een paar jaar in mijn eentje gestaag aan het werken aan een eigen projectje over m'n lievelingslandje waar ik de komende zomer weer heen ga: Åland. Inmiddels heb ik ruim 60 artikelen aangemaakt, en enkele al bestande artikelen, waaronder het hoofdartikel drastisch verbeterd.
Nu is er op de Engelstalige Wikipedia een projectpagina over Åland: en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Åland Islands, waarop overigens niet bijzonder veel gebeurt.
Ik twijfel nu of ik op NL-WP ook een projectpagina zal aanmaken. Enerzijds geeft dat misschien wat bekendheid en misschien kan dat anderen triggeren. Anderzijds verwacht ik dat het toch vooral mijn eigen activiteit zal blijven, en de meeste mensen hebben niet eens van Åland gehoord. Wat is jouw advies? Erik Wannee (overleg) 1 apr 2018 18:10 (CEST)

Hi Erik Wannee, De meeste projecten op nl-wiki zijn niet echt levensvatbaar en dat komt voornamelijk door één enkel element: de beperkte opvang van de Nederlandstaligen in de wereld en daarmee ook op Wikipedia. Er zijn wel goedlopende projecten (geweest), maar de sleutelfactor is dat gebruikers elkaar echt gevonden hebben en vervolgens aan de slag zijn gegaan. Andere gebruikers vinden is lastig, ze actief erbij betrekken nog lastiger. En op Wikipedia bestaat een licht anarchistische cultuur, in andere woorden: "ik volg mijn eigen weg en niet dat van een ander". Echt samenwerken gaat daarom echt maar heel summier, de meesten zijn mijn inziens solisten (niets mis mee, ik hoopte alleen meer op mensen die meer gericht zijn op samenwerken). Als ik kijk naar mijn meest actieve project, Wikiproject België, dan ben ik erg blij met de samenwerking en de uitkomsten, maar eigenlijk had ik ze uitgebreider verwacht/gehoopt, zeker gezien de talrijke plekken waar ik het project kenbaar gemaakt heb. Net als met het Molenproject van jaren terug hoop ik stilletjes eigenlijk nog steeds op het vinden van andere gebruikers die in een bepaalde tijd als een soort taskforce zich heel specifiek richten op het oplossen van een lacune. Wat ik gisteren/vandaag grotendeels alleen deed: het beschrijven van alle tankmonumenten in België om zo met een onderwerpenserie compleetheid te krijgen. Ik heb het ooit eens eerder geprobeerd, maar dat is op niets uitgelopen. Maar er zijn wel projecten die succesvol zijn, maar ik denk dat dat steeds een toevalstreffer is geweest in de tijd, onderwerp en het maar net moeten weten dat het bezig is. Een echt bruisend project bestaat dus maar zelden, maar het bestaat af en toe. Mijn insteek is dat als de gelegenheid er toe is, die gebruiken, en anders niet. Ik denk dat voor een bruisend project gebruikers elkaar eerst moeten vinden met hetzelfde idee, en als ze elkaar gevonden hebben pas een project beginnen. Tijdens een project heb je dan meerdere gebruikers nodig die de anderen stimuleren zodat het actief blijft. België is nog een vrij groot onderwerp, Åland is echt een niche. Als je geen Åland-schrijvers kunt vinden, denk ik persoonlijk niet dat een project opzetten echt zinvol is. Sorry voor het pessimisme. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 1 apr 2018 18:39 (CEST)

Dankjewel voor je uitgebreide antwoord. Ik vind het niet pessimistisch; eerder realistisch. En het is me nu wel duidelijk dat het geen meerwaarde heeft om van een eenpersoons-project een Wikiproject te maken. Ik ga dus gewoon lekker verder op mijn eigen weg; dan is er ook niemand om conflicten mee te krijgen; dat heeft ook z'n voordelen.

Nog een paar maandjes en dan reis ik die kant weer uit, en neem mijn camera mee zodat ik de nodige foto's kan toevoegen aan de door mij geschreven artikelen.

Leuk trouwens dat de Belgische tankmonumenten mooi in de doelstelling van het Belgiëproject pasten. Dat zal niet gelden voor de honderden andere tankmonumenten in Rusland, Duitsland, de VS, Frankrijk etc. etc. Groet, Erik Wannee (overleg) 1 apr 2018 21:44 (CEST)

Een succesvol project heeft een duidelijke einddoelstelling, een duidelijke afbakening dus. Door een duidelijke afbakening kan een onderwerpenserie volledig beschreven worden en dat houdt de motivatie op peil. Romaine (overleg) 1 apr 2018 22:43 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-14

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

Recent changes

• Template Wizard script available for testing. It will show up as a puzzle-piece icon in the 2010 WikiEditor. You can click on the icon to insert a template.
• The Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey is to be sent to participants around the world this week. If you are volunteer developer, and have contributed code to any pieces of MediaWiki, gadgets, or tools, please take 20 to 40 minutes to complete the survey.

Problems

• MediaWiki deployment train has been rolled back to version 1.31.0-wmf.26 on week 13, due to a multiplication of lost connections during MySQL queries. Some of the recent changes may have not been applied. They will be deployed next week. [87][88][89]
• The Notifications badge icons were overlapping other links. This has been fixed. [90]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 April. It will be on all wikis from 5 April (calendar).
• User subpages ending in .json will now be protected from other people editing them, like .js and .css pages already are. If you have a tool that stores static configuration, you can now use a subpage like User:Example/mygadget.json to do this without concerns. [91]
• Tidy will be replaced by RemexHtml on the next set of wikis. On April 4, we plan to turn off Tidy on all Wikiquotes (except frwikiquote) and Wikimedia chapters and user groups wikis. 23 wikis will have Tidy replaced this time. [92][93][94]
• AbuseFilter will transition to use OOUI starting April 4, and the rule editor will also be changed to a CodeEditor (ACE) similar to what is found on user JavaScript pages. The move to OOUI will continue over the next few weeks. [95] [96]
• In Special:Preferences, the preference "De volglijst automatisch herladen wanneer er een filter wordt veranderd (JavaScript vereist)" is now only visible for users who have opt-out the New Filters for the Watchlist. [97]
• You can see names of individual abuse filters in Special:AbuseLog. Now if the name of an abuse filter contains some wikisyntax like links, it will not change to a link when displayed. [98]
• You can now search through filter patterns at Special:AbuseFilter. You may specify either a plain string or a regular expression and the matching filters will show a snippet of their pattern with the match highlighted. [99]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 3 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 4 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• If you're using, creating or improving Lua modules, you can give your feedback to help harmonizing the modules across wikis and add more useful functions.
• On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with less than 50 entries in all high priority linter categories. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml by end of June 2018. Please follow T175706 to monitor progress of Tidy replacement. [100][101]

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Several Commons community members are working on ways to integrate Wikidata in Wikimedia Commons. While this is not full-fledged structured data yet, this work helps to prepare for future conversion of data, and helps to understand how Wikidata and Commons can work better together.
  • Thanks to Jarekt and other contributors, some Commons templates can now be filled via Wikidata: {{Creator}} (Phabricator) and {{Institution}} (Phabricator). Work is ongoing on the {{Artwork}} template (Phabricator).
  • Thanks to Mike Peel and others, Wikidata-powered infoboxes can now be added to Commons categories, with the template {{Wikidata Infobox}}. (Example)
  • Multichill is working on an experimental workflow to upload images to Commons via Wikidata (and using metadata from Wikidata). See a part of it here.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• Conversation about licensing and copyright modeling.

• Review first designs for multilingual captions.
• IRC office hour, 13 February

Events

• Wikimedia Conference, Berlin, 20-22 April (+ Learning Days 18-19 April): several sessions and workshops around Structured Commons
• EuropeanaTech Conference, Rotterdam, 15-16 May: several presentations + a full workshop day on Monday 14 May about Wikidata and Structured Commons
• Wikimedia Hackathon, Barcelona, 18-20 May: Structured Commons as a focus area.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!

Tech News: 2018-15

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

Recent changes

• Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [102]
• You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [103]
• The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [104]
• Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [105]

Problems

• The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [106]
• For a week in March rollbacks got both the rollback and the undo tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [107]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 April. It will be on all wikis from 12 April (calendar).
• Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. [108]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The iOS and Android apps will get synced reading lists later in April.

Tech News: 2018-16

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

Changes later this week

• Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [109]
• Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (=== and !==) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [110][111]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 April. It will be on all wikis from 19 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 17 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new PDF renderer could not create PDFs from books. Books are in this case collections of pages on a Wikimedia wiki. PediaPress will take over development of the books-to-PDF function. [112]
• Pywikibot will no longer support Python 2.7.2 and 2.7.3. [113]
• Volunteer developers can fill out the Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey. The last day is April 22 (UTC). This is a third-party service survey. See the privacy statement.

Crystal houses

Romaine, heb ik eindelijk de telefoon overgezet, staat het gebouw Crystal houses alweer in de steigers....Ceescamel (overleg) 17 apr 2018 15:52 (CEST)

Balen, ik heb twee jaar geleden een foto van dat pand gemaakt en daarna van mijn telefoon verwijderd omdat ik de foto niet goed genoeg vond (het was vrij donker door de regen). Dqfn13 (overleg) 17 apr 2018 18:06 (CEST)

Ik denk dat het binnenkort wel weer vrij gegeven wordt. Vermoedelijk moet de Chanelreclame eruit en dan is de gevel weer zichtbaar, maar om nou zo'n lelijke afscherming te zetten voor een mooi afwijkend gebouw is toch ook cultuurbarbarij.Ceescamel (overleg) 17 apr 2018 21:28 (CEST)

Ik ben er met mijn collega's van Bureau Erfgoed geweest, wij zijn dus allemaal erfgoedliefhebbers, maar voor deze moderne manier konden wij toch massaal waardering uitspreken. Ik vind het een hele bijzondere manier om een oud gebouw weer helemaal van deze tijd te maken. Dqfn13 (overleg) 17 apr 2018 22:00 (CEST)

Gewenste sub-sjablonen ICD-9-CM en ICD-10-PCS

Dag Romaine,

In de sectie WP:Gewenste artikelen/Geneeskunde heb ik al een tijdje geledenhet verzoek voor deze lemma's én (sub)sjablonen opgenomen, voor gebruik in het Sjabloon:Infobox medische ingreep; zoals ICD-9 en ICD-10 de aandoeningen classificeren, classificeren ICD-9-CM (en) en ICD-10-PCS (en) (eventuele bijbehorende) behandelingen (of medische ingrepen in het algemeen). (D.w.z. strikt genomen heb ik daar alleen om de artikelen over die classificatie verzocht, maar in het verlengde van het verzoek ligt de vraag om ze ook als velden in de "medische ingreep"-infobox op te nemen op eenzelfde manier als ICD-9 en ICD-10 nu in de "aandoening"-infobox zijn geïmplementeerd.)
We missen weliswaar helaas ook nog steeds de lemma's over deze coderingen zelf, maar er is ook (nog) geen 'correct' sub-, codering- of invul-sub-sjabloon voor in de infobox "medische ingreep"; tot op heden is het 'opgelost' doordat dit nu vrij in te vullen velden (zonder formaatrestricties) in dat sjabloon zijn (uiteraard met een field heading die dan een rode link is, zoals bijvoorbeeld te zien is in het artikel carpaletunnelrelease waar deze velden gebruikt/ingevuld zijn (maar de ingevulde waarde is nu gewoon zwarte tekst, en genereert geen hyperlink naar de database met behandelingen/ingrepen (zoals ICD-9 en ICD-10 dat in de aandoening-infobox dat wel doen. Denk je dat jij dit kunt oplossen zodat het wel (werkende) links genereert zoals op de ENWP (zie het "medical intervention"-infobox-sjabloon aldaar: 'Template:Infobox medical intervention' als eventueel voorbeeld)? (En dan eventuele artikelen waar het veld is ingevuld – dat zullen er niet veel zijn verwacht ik – zonodig aanpassen (omdat daar, indien gebruikt, nu een vrije waarde in staat). Alvast bedankt, -- martix (overleg) 23 apr 2018 13:05 (CEST)

Romaine, het bovenstaande verzoek is grotendeels achterhaald nu Bdijkstra de gewenste hulpsjablonen inmiddels bij de velden heeft geïmporteerd, en alleen de documentatie over het gebruik van deze hulpsjablonen ontbreekt nog zoals hij op de overlegpagina schrijft, of feitelijk ontbreekt alle documentatie/uitleg van het sjabloon en de afzonderlijke velden; alleen template dat overgenomen moet worden staat er vermeld en meer ook niet, maar dat is ook misschien meer aan een medicus om (alle velden) toe te lichten. Met vriendelijke groet -- martix (overleg) 23 apr 2018 20:01 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-17

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

Recent changes

• All Wikipedias now have Page Previews.
• The iOS and Android apps now have synced reading lists. This means you can save articles to a private list that can be seen on your other devices if you use the apps.
• The icons in the 2010 wikitext editor have changed. [114]
• The visual editor and the 2017 wikitext ask you to write an edit summary after you press Publish. This button now also shows an ellipsis. This is to show that pressing Publish is not the last step. [115]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 April. It will be on all wikis from 26 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 24 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 25 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• <mapframe> will come to most Wikipedias in May. This means that you can put interactive maps in the articles. Nine Wikipedias that use a strict version of flagged revisions will not get this feature in May. [116]
• The rollback function could change. This was a German community request. All editors with rollback rights can leave feedback on the proposed solution. The last day to leave feedback is 4 May (UTC).

Vraagje

Hi Romaine heb jij enig idee waarom hier de referenties onderaan bij de bronvermelding niet in twee kolommen komen te staan? Volgend het {sjabloon:Appendix} zou het moeten werken... Groetjes, Bart -B kimmel (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:05 (CEST)

Op sjabloon:References staat: "N.B.: in sommige browsers, waaronder bepaalde versies van Internet Explorer, werkt dit niet." Dus vandaar. –bdijkstra (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:16 (CEST)

Vreemd want tot vorige week werkte het wel. Maar ik zie dat op mijn Ipad wel kolommen worden getoond, dus je hebt idd gelijk. Is er echt geen manier om dit te overrulen? Met name bij artikelen met veel referenties zoals monarchvlinder vind ik dit zeer storend. Groetjes, Bart -B kimmel (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:24 (CEST)

Ik vind referenties in kolommen erg storend. 't Is dus maar hoe je ertegenaan kijkt WIKIKLAAS overleg 25 apr 2018 22:28 (CEST)

Lang, heel lang geleden ben ik opgehouden me af te vragen waarom Microsoft-producten soms niet kunnen wat alle concurrerende producten wel kunnen. –bdijkstra (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:34 (CEST)

Nou ik heb al tijden Mozilla FF, dus daar ligt het niet aan. -B kimmel (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:38 (CEST)

Ah, maar dat verandert de zaak. Het blijkt door mijn toedoen te komen. Ik heb het hersteld. –bdijkstra (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:57 (CEST)

Ik weet niet wat je hebt gedaan want ik heb geen verstand van die codes, maar het werkt weer! Heel erg bedankt voor de aanpassing! Groetjes, Bart -B kimmel (overleg) 26 apr 2018 10:20 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-18

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

Recent changes

• The parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [117]

Problems

• We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [118]

Changes later this week

• You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [119]
• When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [120]
• You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the Bewerken section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [121]
• There is a new abuse filter function called equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 2 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jharewikimedia.org to leave private feedback.
• All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [122][123][124]

Recent changes

• The Wikimedia Commons mobile app has a new version. It is now easier to find nearby places that need pictures. It helps you with direct uploads and title and category suggestions. The app only works on Android phones. [125]

Problems

• The abuse filters had a problem with blocks where you had changed how long they last. It used the default length everywhere. This was in late April. Abuse filter users should make sure the right block length is used and change them if needed. This is only for filters where how long blocks last had been changed. [126]

Changes later this week

• The advanced search function beta feature will be on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. [127]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 May. It will be on all wikis from 10 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 8 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 9 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 16 May. Other wikis will switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [128][129]

Tech News: 2018-22

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

Recent changes

• You can now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [132][133]
• It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [134]
• Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words.
• There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [135]
• Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [136]
• There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [137]

Problems

• Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [138]

Changes later this week

• There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [139]
• A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [140]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 May. It will be on all wikis from 31 May (calendar).
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [141]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 29 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 30 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Content Translation drafts which have not been updated in over a year will be removed. This allows other users to translate those articles. [142]
• A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [143]
• Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. [144][145]

even iets lastigs op en-wiki m.b.t. een Maastricht-student

Dag Romaine,

iemand heeft bedacht dat de sandbox van één van de studenten verplaatst moest worden naar de Draft-naamruimte. Vervolgens heeft iemand anders het artikel beoordeeld, en te licht bevonden. Ik snap hier niks van. Ik probeer dit te herstellen, maar dat lukt me nog niet. Zie: en:User_talk:CASSIOPEIA#Moved_draft. Wil jij hier je licht eens over laten schijnen? Graag. Groet, --Dick Bos (overleg) 31 mei 2018 22:10 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-23

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

Recent changes

• The MonoBook skin has been optimised for mobile devices. It now looks different. [146]
• Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [147][148]
• Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [149]

Problems

• You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them.
• MassMessage did not work 24–28 May. This is also why last week's Tech News was late. [150]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 June. It will be on all wikis from 7 June (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 5 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 6 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This is planned to happen in June or early July. [151][152]

Tech News: 2018-24

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

Recent changes

• In the Wikipedia app for Android or iOS users can create reading lists. The reading lists can be seen on different devices if you are logged in to your account. There is now a browser extension so you can add pages to your reading list from a web browser. At the moment it works with Firefox and Chrome. [153]
• There is a new version of Pywikibot. Pywikibot is a tool to automate tasks on MediaWiki wikis. [154]

Problems

• The MonoBook skin was changed to make it work better for mobile users. This caused some problems. The change was rolled back to fix them. The new version is now back on the wikis. MonoBook users can opt out from the new responsive design. [155]

Changes later this week

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. For most wikis this will happen on 18 June. For the rest it will happen on 25 June. [156][157]

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 June. It will be on all wikis from 14 June (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the Readers Web team IRC office hour. There you can discuss tools to contribute on the mobile web for the existing MediaWiki skins. The meeting will be on 18 June at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

Tech News: 2018-25

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

Recent changes

• Syntax highlighting has been a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It is now a normal feature. It is based on CodeMirror. [158]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 19 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Some old web browsers will not be able to read the Wikimedia wikis. This is because they use an insecure way to connect to them. This means that we get less security for everyone else too. This affects about 0.08% of all traffic to the Wikimedia wikis. This affects for example those who read Wikipedia on a PlayStation 3. [159][160]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. Because there is no new MediaWiki version this week it will happen on 25 June for most wikis. For the rest it will happen in early July. [161][162]
• All wikis that have not already done so will switch to use the Remex parsing library on 5 July. This is to replace Tidy. You can help fix remaining errors. [163]

Greetings,

Structured Commons will need properties to make statements about files. The development team is working on making the software ready to support properties; the question is, what properties does Commons need?

You can find more information and examples to help find properties in a workshop on Commons. Please participate and help fill in the list, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 28 jun 2018 20:53 (CEST)

Feedback: historical book review

Dear Romaine,

I would kindly like to ask you if you can provide me with some feedback for my Wikipedia article for the historical book review. Especially with the quotations, I am not sure if I incorporated the references correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Animuscerritus/sandbox&action=edit&section=1

Thank you very much and see you next Monday,

kind regards,

Corinna

Kunstcafé

Hoi Romaine. Zou jij een pagina Kunstcafé kunnen opzetten, in navolging van de andere café's die we hier hebben? Mijzelf lukt het niet. De discussie daarover vind je hier. Alvast bedankt! mvg. Happytravels (overleg) 5 jul 2018 10:28 (CEST)

Hi Happytravels, Het is niet de bedoeling dat er allerhande cafés worden aangemaakt. We zien dat de meeste cafés na een tijdje inactief worden en daarmee dus niet zinvol zijn. Eigenlijk zouden volgens mij alleen de hoofdthema's een eigen café moeten hebben, als dat al nodig is. Nog beter lijkt het mij als voor meer inhoudelijke onderwerpen er gekozen wordt voor een wikiproject. In een wikiproject wordt er samengewerkt en kan er op de overlegpagina onderwerpen besproken worden. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 17 sep 2018 16:23 (CEST)

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Summer 2018

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Since our last newsletter, the Structured Data team has moved into designing and building prototypes for various features. The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• A workshop on what Wikidata properties Commons will need. This workshop will be open for the entire month of July 2018 at minimum.

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.

• The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
• In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
• A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
• There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.

Wikimania 2018

• Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
  • Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
  • Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
  • Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
• Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!
• Structured Data on Commons was presented to GLAM audiences during EuropeanaTech 2018 in Rotterdam (15 May 2018) and at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek Forum in Berlin (4 June 2018).

Research

Two research projects about Wikimedia Commons are currently ongoing, or in the process of being finished:

1. Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

Development

• Prototypes will be available for Depicts soon.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Join the next IRC office hour and ask questions to the team! The date for next quarter will be announced soon.

Structured Data Newsletter - Research link fix

Greetings,

The newsletter omitted two interwiki prefixes, breaking the links on non-meta wikis as you might see above. Here are the correct links:

1. m:Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. m:Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

My apologies, I hope you find the corrected links helpful.

Verborgen weesjes

Hallo Romaine,

Ik zou graag even je aandacht willen vragen voor zogenaamde "verborgen weesjes" waarvan we er steeds meer krijgen op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia.

We merken het op bij het Gendergap schrijfproject en de schrijfweken: mensen denken eraan om hun nieuw geschreven pagina bij de resultaten van het project te zetten, maar vergeten om het artikel vanaf andere pagina's te linken. Daarmee wordt het een verborgen wees: het artikel komt namelijk niet in de lijst van weespagina's, omdat het artikel 1 link heeft (namelijk de resultatenlijst). Vanuit de hoofdnaamruimte is er echter geen enkel artikel dat naar dit nieuwe lemma linkt.

Ik weet niet in hoeverre dit ook speelt bij de schrijfweken die jij samen met Taketa organiseert, maar wilde je er graag op attenderen dat wij als werkgroep dit signaleren en er extra aandacht voor vragen de komende tijd. Als je ook nog ideeën hebt waarmee we dit op een speelde manier op kunnen lossen, horen we graag van je.

Vriendelijke groet, namens de werkgroep, Ciell 7 jul 2018 14:08 (CEST)

Hi Ciell, we hadden ooit een wikiproject hiervoor: Wikipedia:Wikiproject/Ontwezing. Lijkt niet héél erg actief meer en zou wellicht nieuw leven ingeblazen kunnen worden. Wanneer ik een introductie geef met beginnende gebruikers en er is voldoende tijd, laat ik ze de geschreven artikelen nog ergens linken zodat ze beter gevonden kunnen worden. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 17 sep 2018 16:20 (CEST)

Nee, ontwezing gaat alleen op als er nog geen enkel artikel naar linkt. De verborgen weesjes zijn verborgen omdat ze al wel ergens vanaf een resultatenlijst gelinkt worden, maar nog niet in de hoofdnaamruimte. Ciell 17 sep 2018 18:24 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-28

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

Recent changes

• WebM video files have smaller file size but still be of the same quality. Creating WebM files will take longer time. [169]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This was supposed to already have happened but was delayed. For most wikis this will happen on 9 July. For the rest it will happen on 16 July. [170]
• All wikis now use the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy. This could cause errors. You can help fix the errors. [171]

Problems

• When you rolled back an edit it could get both the Rollback and Undo tags. This has been fixed. [172]
• Rollbacks from autopatrolled users were not marked as patrolled. This has been fixed. [173]

Changes later this week

• When you edit a link in the visual editor there will be two separate buttons to change which page the link goes to (target) or its text (label). [174][175]
• On the mobile version you can find a link to an editor's contributions from their user page. Now this will work even if they haven't created a user page. [176]
• When you edit a discussion on the mobile version you sometimes get your signature automatically added. This will now not happen if you have already added a signature manually. This is to avoid double signatures. [177]
• Structured discussions toolbars will have more style options. [178]
• When you look at Wikimedia code in Gerrit there will be a new interface. It is on by default for new users. This is also true for developers. This is to make it easier to understand what is happening. [179]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 July. It will be on all wikis from 12 July (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 July at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 July at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Today all administrators can edit CSS and JavaScript for the entire wiki. There will be a new user group for editing CSS and JavaScript. Administrators will no longer automatically be able to do this. This is because it is a security risk when all administrator accounts can edit JavaScript even if they never plan to or do not know how it works. You can read more. [180]
• Page previews will be on by default for new accounts. [181]

vernieuwingen lijst van gemeentelijke monumenten in Gouda

hallo Romaine, zou je kunnen kijken naar de lijsten van Gemeentelijke monumenten in Gouda. De gemeente Gouda is met een vernieuwde lijst gekomen. https://www.gouda.nl/Inwoners/Sport_en_Cultuur/Wij_Ons_erfgoed_NU en zie dan de link gemeentelijk erfgoedregister. Op de oude lijst staat bijvoorbeeld: Achter de Kerk 2a, Korte Tiendeweg 22, met de monumentnummers 0513/330a en 0513/3330b op twee regels. Op de aangepaste lijsten wordt dat dan 0513/330. Ken je een tooltje waarmee de lijsten kunnen worden aangepast? Fijn zou zijn als dan gelijk in kolom 1 wordt vermeld wat het is, bijv. een kerk. Als het kan wil je dan de Lijst van gemeentelijke monumenten in Gouda/Josephbuurt niet terug brengen naar 1 regel maar per straat (7 stuks) zie Category:Josephbuurt (Gouda)). Mvg Agaath (overleg) 10 jul 2018 17:07 (CEST)

Het is mij bij nader onderzoek opgevallen, dat er twee informatiebronnen zijn en deze niet helemaal hetzelfde zijn. Zie opnieuw

https://www.gouda.nl/Inwoners/Sport_en_Cultuur/Wij_Ons_erfgoed_NU en dan Cultuurhistorische basiskaart, dan Beleidskaarten, dan gemeentelijke monumenten, dan in het zoekvenster het adres. Deze gegevens komen overeen met de Lijst van gemeentelijke monumenten in Gouda op wikipedia. Mijn voorstel is om de lijst op wikipedia aan te houden en alleen de monumentnummers terug te brengen zonder de toevoegingen a, b etc. Hoe je de links {{Gemeentelijk monument|0513/...}} naar deze foto's moet aanpassen, is mij onbekend. Ik ben begonnen met waar nodig commonscat aan te maken, zodat bij deze aangepaste links, alle relevante foto's te zien zijn. Ik ben benieuwd naar je antwoord. Agaath (overleg) 9 aug 2018 21:43 (CEST)

Ik ben in middels begonnen met Categorie:Lijsten van gemeentelijke monumenten in Gouda en ook url's toegevoegdAgaath (overleg) 11 aug 2018 11:46 (CEST)

Voor verder overleg zie de overleg pagina van Categorie:Lijsten van gemeentelijke monumenten in Gouda [182] Agaath (overleg) 1 sep 2018 09:51 (CEST)

Hallo Agaath, Sorry voor de vertraging. Helaas heb ik geen ervaring met tools. Wellicht weet Gebruiker:1Veertje hier een antwoord op, zij heeft heel veel ervaring met de lijsten. Romaine (overleg) 17 sep 2018 16:16 (CEST)

Plein-airisme

Beste Romaine,

Kort geleden heb ik het item Pleinairisme gewijzigd naar En Plein Air. De eerste reden daarvoor is dat ik de eerstgenoemde term nergens in de kunstliteratuur ben tegengekomen en de tweede reden is dat het mij 'Nederlandstechnisch' tegen de borst stuit. Om overal maar een ...isme van te maken gaat mij te ver. De praktijk steunt mij daarbij. In 90% van de gevallen kom ik als en plein air in de eigenlijke tekst tegen als er verwezen wordt naar Pleinairisme. In deze gevallen kan Pleinairisme gevolgd door de | gewoon uit de verwijzing worden weggestreept. Ik heb dan ook een aanvraag ingediend om deze vervanging te eenmalig geautomatiseerd uit te voeren.

Zelf heb ik alle verwijzingen naar Plein-airisme aangepast. Ook hier betrof het voor het overgrote deel uit het verwijderen van 'Plein-airisme|' uit de verwijzing.

Rest mij de vraag: waarom zou je een verwijs-item, dat op zichzelf al 'krom Nederlands' bevat en waarnaar niet meer verwezen wordt, in Wikipedia laten bestaan en NIET verwijderen ? Een verwijzing naar usance ('dat doen wij nooit') mag m.i. hierbij niet de doorslag geven.

Gaarne zie ik uw reactie tegemoet. FdeGrijs (overleg) 25 jul 2018 13:39 (CEST)

@FdeGrijs: Allereerst even de strekking dat er niet meer naar verwezen wordt, dat geldt enkel voor deze Wikipedia. Mensen kunnen een link naar Pleinairisme nog altijd in hun favorieten of elders op het web gebruikt hebben als link naar dit artikel. Ook kunnen mensen zoeken op Pleinairisme en dan moeten ze op het artikel kunnen uitkomen. Dat een redirect krom Nederlands is, is an sich geen reden om een redirect te verwijderen: we hebben heel veel redirects die juist krom Nederlands of taalfouten bevatten die mensen gebruiken. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 17 sep 2018 16:14 (CEST)

Assitance with structuring a list of monument for WLM

Hi Romaine, I would like to have some assistance in structuring the list of monument for WLM 2018 in Morocco. I have a list here, I follow this guide but seem not able to properly create templates. Thanks for any feedback :) -- Abdeaitali (overleg) 26 jul 2018 14:38 (CEST)

WikidataChart

Dag Romaine. Op de hebben ze de:Vorlage:WikidataChart. Dat lijkt mij een ideaal sjabloon om grafieken centraal up-to-date te houden. Alleen is dit voor mij te hoge sjabloon-kunde. Zie jij daar mogelijkheden? BoH (overleg) 29 jul 2018 00:38 (CEST)

Hi BoH, Zo te zien staat de data van dit sjabloon op Wikidata. Het heeft alleen zin om dit sjabloon aan te maken wanneer die data dus op Wikidata staat. Als de data waarvoor je het gebruiken wil inderdaad op Wikidata staat kan ik het zeker overzetten op nl-wiki. Romaine (overleg) 17 sep 2018 16:09 (CEST)

Ik was in de veronderstelling dat het als generiek sjabloon gebruikt kon worden en dus voor veel verschillende soorten data gebruikt kan worden. Dus bijvoorbeeld inflatiecijfers van het CBS waarbij je dan inderdaad de data van Wikidata afhaalt. Het mooiste zou natuurlijk zijn als er dan ook een einddatum ingevoerd kan worden die meeloopt, dat de grafiek dus altijd ook de meest recente data meeneemt, tenzij dat niet gewenst is.

Uit jouw antwoord begrijp ik echter dat het een veel specifieker sjabloon is. Begrijp ik dat goed? BoH (overleg) 17 sep 2018 17:01 (CEST)

Met {{CURRENTYEAR}} e.d. kan je eenvoudig een meelopende einddatum verkrijgen. Het sjabloon (of eigenlijk de module) kan gebruikt worden voor verschillende soorten data, maar alleen met data die op dezelfde manier is ingevoerd als op het voorbeeld. –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 sep 2018 19:11 (CEST)

Dan zou dat dus mogelijk aangemoedigd moeten worden voor dat soort data op Wikidata? BoH (overleg) 18 sep 2018 02:07 (CEST)

Ik ben niet betrokken genoeg met Wikidata om daar een zinnig antwoord op te geven. Misschien Romaine wel. –bdijkstra (overleg) 18 sep 2018 09:41 (CEST)

Baskisch

Hoi Romaine,

Heb een sjabloon aangemaakt voor deze taal die een eigen Wikisource heeft, maar dat werkt niet. Wat heb ik fout gedaan? Op het oog ziet-ie er gelijk uit als bijv. de Duits- en Engelstalige. Zie ook de bewerkingssamenvatting. Help, ajb.
Collegiale groeten uit Amsterdam van Klaas `Z4␟` V:  1 aug 2018 07:54 (CEST)

Bij mij lijkt ie gewoon te werken. Wat werkt er niet? –bdijkstra (overleg) 1 aug 2018 09:18 (CEST)

In plaats van naar eu.wikisource.org/wiki/Azala te gaan zoekt-ie eu:Azala op nl.wikisource en dat bestaat natuurlijk niet. Test op volgende regel:

{{Wikisource-eu|Azala}} - zojuist maakte ik -bn en -br aan en die werken wel goed op resp. Bengaals en Bretons (taal). Klaas `Z4␟` V:  1 aug 2018 15:56 (CEST)

Dat is hoe zusterlinks werken. Als ik op de link klik kom ik goed uit. Zo ook wanneer ik in de zoekbalk op nl.wikisource intik "eu:Azala" en op enter druk. Als het bij jou niet werkt ligt het probleem waarschijnlijk in je browsercache. –bdijkstra (overleg) 1 aug 2018 16:00 (CEST)

Ook bij Sjabloon:Wikisource-pa ging het mis. Cache legen zou dus moeten helpen volgens jou? Dankjewel! Beide gaan inmiddels spontaan weer goed, zeker door bezigheden elders uit cache verdwenen.  Uitgevoerd Klaas `Z4␟` V:  1 aug 2018 16:53 (CEST)

pagina Wanda Tuerlinckx

Goedemiddag, Kort geleden heb je een geboortedatum toegevoegd aan de recent toegevoegde pagina over fotograaf Wanda Tuerlinckx. De fotograaf heeft mij uitdrukkelijk gevraagd om die geboortedatum niet te vermelden om privacyredenen. Daarom heb ik de door jou toegevoegde wijziging weer verwijderd. Helaas komt nu nog steeds bij elke google-search naar 'Wanda Tuerlinckx' onmiddellijk de geboortedatum in beeld. Zou het kunnen dat dat jouw aangebrachte wijziging komt? Ik hoor het graag! Dank alvast, groet, Victoria

Wikipedia is een encyclopedie, niet de website of de LinkedIn van Wanda Tuerlinckx. De geboortedatum heeft een goede bron, op RKD-artists staat haar geboortedatum vermeldt. Tot zover voldoet het artikel dan aan WP:BIO en is het niet nodig de geboortedatum van het artikel te verwijderen, omdat Wanda Tuerlinckx zelf vindt dat sommige websites dat wel mogen vermelden, maar Wikipedia niet.

Rare opmaak Volglijst

Aparte regelovergang van de volglijst: getal 4 lijkt bij 'mededelingen' te horen, maar hoort bij 'reviewvoorstellen' dat op de volgende regel staat.

Beste Romaine,

Mijn Volglijst ziet er een beetje raar uit. Hoe komt dat?

Links zie je

0 peilingen | 0 stemmingen | 0 verzoeken om commentaar | 2 moderatoraanmeldingen | 1 moderatorafzetting | 2 etalageaanmeldingen | 2 etalageverwijderingen | 6 reviewvoorstellen

mededelingen staat na een stuk witruimte rechts van de 2 in de eerste regel.

Dit is zowel met Safari als Firefox het geval. Klaas `Z4␟` V:  3 sep 2018 07:28 (CEST)

Ik zie drie tweeën, die allemaal op de eerste regel kunnen staan afhankelijk van de regellengte. Maar goed, waar hoort 'mededelingen' te staan volgens jou? Of: ziet dit er minder raar uit? –bdijkstra (overleg) 6 sep 2018 19:51 (CEST)

Het probleem zat 'm in "mededelingen". Die zijn er nu en in het voorbeeld niet (meer) en dus geen afwijkende opmaak. De twee die je zag had betrekking op etalageverwijderingen en kun je dus beter op dezelfde regel neerzetten onafhankelijk van de regellengte. Dat kun je bereiken door (bijvoorbeeld op de helft) een <br /> toe te voegen. Collegiale groeten uit Osdorp van Klaas `Z4␟` V:  9 sep 2018 15:17 (CEST)
P.S. Ben je een sokpop van Romaine, B. Dijkstra?
P.P.S. Herstel: ze zijn er wel, maar staan op de volgende regel…

Vanmorgen deed-ie 't weer!. Zie schermafdruk rechts. Klaas `Z4␟` V:  13 sep 2018 08:42 (CEST)

Dus het is nu goed? Of bedoel je dat ie weer raar deed? En nee, ik ben geen sokpop van wie dan ook. –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 sep 2018 16:09 (CEST)

Nee, ik bedoelde dat het sjabloon weer zo'n aparte regelovergang produceert. Het is overigens op te lossen door geen spatie(s), maar (meerdere keren) &nbsp; te gebruiken
 Klaas `Z4␟` V:  18 sep 2018 10:09 (CEST)

Dat is inmiddels gedaan. –bdijkstra (overleg) 18 sep 2018 10:24 (CEST)

Keurig!  Uitgevoerd Dankjewel!! Klaas `Z4␟` V:  19 sep 2018 10:13 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-37

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

Recent changes

• When you added or edited a template with the visual editor the input boxes were very big. This has been fixed. The input boxes will now be smaller until you click on them. Then they will change size to fit the text. [218]

Problems

• Some diffs showed lines in the wrong order. This was fixed last week. [219]
• Marking a cross-wiki notification as read didn't work every time. The other wiki was not updated. This has now been fixed. [220]
• <maplink> did not work for a few days. This was because of a bug. This has now been fixed. [221]
• {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} is used by some templates. For a period edits saved with {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} would save the previous user's name and not your username. This is now fixed. Edits made before the bug was fixed will still be wrong and need to be corrected. [222]
• When you move a page the title still shows the old page name. The developers are working on fixing this. [223]

Changes later this week

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour. You can read more about this.
• Because of the data centre test there will be no new version of MediaWiki this week. Changes for this week will come next week instead.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 Septmber at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The developers work on making the wikis work better on mobile phones. There is a list of common problems when making content easier to read in the mobile view. You can add things to the page and ask others to help.

Frederiksplein

Beste Romaine, ik heb gisteren Frederiksplein (Amsterdam) gewijzigd. Een van de redenen was, was dat in de infobox een afbeelding stond, die er niet thuishoorde. Het betrof een foto van de DNB, maar die foto was genomen van de Sarphatikade, dat geen binding heeft met het Frederiksplein. Nu zag ik tevens dat de fr, wiki commons en wikidata alle drie een foto hanteren van diezelfde DNB. Echter, die foto is van de ingang aan Westeinde )de ronde toren staat voor de vierkante) en heeft dus niets met het Frederiksplein te maken. Ik heb vandaag was nieuwe foto's geschoten, zou jij een van die foto's in de drie artikelen willen zetten, zodat ook het buitenland de juiste indruk krijgt van het plein (dat (en dat moet geschreven worden) ook dit jaar opnieuw ingericht wordt, vandaar de vele werkwagentjes. ik heb geen idee hoe ik dat op commons of data moet wijzigen.Ceescamel (overleg) 17 sep 2018 15:44 (CEST)

Charging Bull

Nog dank voor het Frederiksplein. Maar ik kom weer zo'n geval tegen. Nu betreffende het beeld Charging Bull. De es, fr, hu, data en commons hebben bij de infobox van het beeld "onze stier" op het Beursplein erin gezet (ik ben alle wiki's even langsgegaan). Als jij data en commons wil rechtzetten, dan kijk ik morgen of de es, fr en hu automatisch zijn aangepast (sommige wiki's hebben een directe koppeling); zo niet dan hang ik er een juiste foto in. Alvast bedankt,Ceescamel (overleg) 18 sep 2018 14:30 (CEST)

Ik heb de vrijheid genomen om Wikidata alvast aan te passen met een andere afbeelding. Heb de cropped versie van de andere foto genomen, die vind ik minder storende elementen hebben. Akoopal _overleg 18 sep 2018 21:51 (CEST)

New discussion on Commons talk:Structured data

Hello. I've started a new, important discussion about creating properties for Commons on Wikidata. Please come join in, if the process is something that interests you or if you can help. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19 sep 2018 18:48 (CEST)

Walter Süskindbrug

Hallo, je hebt samen met Paulbe op Wikidata de Walter Süskindbrug Q43270481 toegevoegd. Echter de coördinaten zijn daar niet juist. De coördinaten verwijzen naar de Dirk van Nimwegenbrug, toch een heel andere brug.:-). Met de coördinaten zit je een gracht te laag. Wil je dat herstellen, ook op commons, want die heeft het van de data overgenomen,Ceescamel (overleg) 24 sep 2018 10:29 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-40

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

Recent changes

• Ordinary pages can no longer be loaded as javascript. You could do this using ?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript in the URL. Only fully protected pages in the MediaWiki: namespace or user javascript subpages can be loaded as javascript now. This is for better security. [229][230]

Problems

• New and updated translations from translatewiki.net will not reach the wikis for a while. You can still translate messages on translatewiki.net. The Wikimedia wikis will be updated with the new translations later. This is because of work on the translation system. [231][232]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 October. It will be on all wikis from 4 October (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 3 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the meeting with the Wikimedia Foundation Search Platform team. The meeting will be on 3 October at 15:00 UTC. See how to join if you want to know how the search function works or have questions.

Future changes

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour. You can read more about this.

Uitklapbare navigatiesjablonen

Beste Romaine,

Zijn er criteria om een navigatiesjabloon uitklapbaar te maken? Deze beslaat 13 regels. Ik vind het prima, maar erg veel meer moeten het w.m.b. niet zijn. Ik vind een regel of 20 teveel om een artikel overzichtelijk te houden. Bij kleine artikeltjes kan een tienregelige navigatie al storend zijn.
Helaas mag ik dit niet in de Wikipedianaamruimte zetten van de ArbCom :-(. Collegiale groeten, Klaas `Z4␟` V:  4 okt 2018 11:58 (CEST)

Ik denk niet er echt regels voor bestaan, maar bedenk dat het voor gebruikers van mobiele apparaten niet altijd mogelijk is om gebruik te maken van de uitklapmogelijkheden. Je gaat groepen gebruikers informatie onthouden als je vanuit esthetisch oogpunt naar dit soort mogelijkheden grijpt. Met vriendelijke groet, RonnieV (overleg) 4 okt 2018 12:02 (CEST)

Met andere woorden: gewone gebruikers moeten zich softwarematig conformeren aan degenen die lezen en/of bewerken met andere hardware die beperkte mogelijkheden hebben? Zelf stoor ik me er niet aan als ik dan op mijn iPhone kijk - bewerken doe ik er al helemaal niet mee; hooguit met het tablet van mijn vrouw. Dank voor je reactie, Ron  Klaas `Z4␟` V:  4 okt 2018 12:15 (CEST)

Ergo, de technische afdeling moet aan het werk om deze beperking op te heffen... The Banner Overleg 4 okt 2018 12:39 (CEST)

Andersom: als de inklapmogelijkheid ontmoedigd wordt vanwege die beperkte toestelletjes kun je die beter afschaffen. Klaas `Z4␟` V:  7 okt 2018 08:19 (CEST)

Structured Data - search prototype

There is a search prototype for structured data on Commons available. Please visit the search prototype page on the structured data hub for information on testing and feedback. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 5 okt 2018 21:07 (CEST)

Wikipedia:Beveiligde pagina's/Overzicht

Hoi Romaine, ik kwam zojuist de pagina Wikipedia:Beveiligde pagina's/Overzicht en het bijbehorende Wikipedia:Beveiligde pagina's/Overzicht/Gegevens tegen en ik heb het idee dat ze beide weg kunnen, omdat ze al lang geen functie meer hebben (het tijdelijke karakter staat ook in de introductie van eerstgenoemde pagina). Denk je dat dat klopt? Ik spreek jou even aan, omdat ze genoemd staan op Gebruiker:Romaine/Wikipedia-naamruimte en ik deze bewerking van jou zag, als laatste.

Referentie troubles

Beste Romaine, Ik snap na een aantal gepubliceerde artikelen nog steeds niet hoe ik één referentie twee maal kan gebruiken (dat het hetzelfde nummer toont). Een klein voorbeeld (zie bronnen 1 & 5)

Kan u mij hierbij helpen?

Hallo SjoerdvDonk,

Zet bij de eerste referentie <ref name="kies hier een leuke unieke tekst">plaats hier de referentie</ref> en plaats dan op de tweede plek het volgende: <ref name="kies hier een leuke unieke tekst"/>.

Tech News: 2018-42

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

Problems

• Some pages, edits and users disappeared for a short while after the server switch. Missing content and users was fixed within a day. Some preferences and other things might take a few more days to fix. [235]
• Wikis are updated with new and updated translations from translatewiki.net again. This will happen once a week. The developers are working on fixing the problem so we can have translation updates more often again. [236]

Changes later this week

• When you create an abuse filter that prevents edits you can now write a specific error message for it. Before this all abuse filters that prevented edits had the same error message. [237]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 October. It will be on all wikis from 18 October (calendar).

Meetings

• There will be no more meetings with the Editing team. This is because not enough Wikimedians were interested. To tell developers which bugs you think are the most important you can use Phabricator as normal. [238]
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 17 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

interwikiconflict

Hallo Romaine, ik probeerde een artikel (Charles Wallace Richmond) waar ik nog aan bezig ben zoals je ziet, te koppelen. Ik krijg de opmerking dat dit al bestaat, maar ik begrijp er niets van hoe dat al een Q-nummer (Q135591) heeft gekregen. Kun je me helpen dit op te lossen? Bij voorbaat dank voor de moeite. Groeten, Henrik HWN (overleg) 25 okt 2018 14:17 (CEST)

De interface op vanaf wiki is een beetje gebrekkig wat dat betreft. Gewoon de titel toevoegen op Charles Wallace Richmond (Q135591), wat je al een keer gedaan hebt, en klaar. –bdijkstra (overleg) 25 okt 2018 14:28 (CEST)

Dank voor je snelle reactie. Dat deed ik inderdaad eerder, maar als ik dan terug ga naar mijn artikel, dan ontbreekt in het linker venster de lijst met verwijzingen naar andere talen. Of komt dat later tot stand? HWN (overleg) 25 okt 2018 16:15 (CEST) (ja dus!)

Dat kan inderdaad even duren, soms zelfs behoorlijk lang. –bdijkstra (overleg) 25 okt 2018 16:24 (CEST)

Wanneer je achter de url &action=purge zet, gebeurt dat wel gelijk. Anders moet je vaak 5 min. wachten. Edoderoo (overleg) 25 okt 2018 22:18 (CEST)

Vraagje sjabloontaal

Dag Romaine,

Via heinonlein hoorde ik dat jij verstand had van de programmeertaal die in wikipedia gebruikt wordt voor sjablonen en tekstopmaak. Ik vroeg me af of er ergens een overzicht te vinden is waarin deze programmeertaal wordt uitgelegd. Ik zou me hier graag in willen verdiepen maar ik kan nergens een toereikende uitleg vinden. Ik ben zelf bezig met de opmaak van bepaalde zijbalken, maar het is erg moeilijk als je de taal waarin je moet schrijven eigenlijk niet begrijpt. Alvast bedankt! TheBartgry (overleg) 28 okt 2018 14:55 (CET)

Help:Gebruik van sjablonen. –bdijkstra (overleg) 28 okt 2018 15:08 (CET)

Bedankt! Ik heb de helppagina’s gelezen, maar ik vraag mij nog steeds af of er ergens een overzicht is te vinden waarin de programeertaal wordt uitgelegd. Het gebruikt en de syntax is mij wel enigszins duidelijk. Maar wat betekenen de broncodes als class="toccolours vatop infobox" of class="wikitable", cellpadding, cellspacing en margin:"0 0 1em 1em” om maar wat op te noemen. Welke broncodes zijn er nog meer? Waar dienen deze voor? Zijn deze ergens te vinden? TheBartgry (overleg) 29 okt 2018 18:15 (CET)

Dat is geen sjabloontaal maar HTML+CSS. In een HTML-element wordt met het attribuut "class" verwezen naar CSS-klassen die zijn gedefinieerd in o.a. de MediaWiki-software, in de huidige skin, of in wikispecifieke algemene CSS-code. Via de inspectiemogelijkheid van je browser kan je erachter komen waar bepaalde klassen vandaan komen. Op Help:Gebruik van tabellen vind je dingen over wikitable. Een goed startpunt om bekend te worden met de syntax en kretologie is w3schools.com of anders kan je wellicht op YouTube een introcursus web-development vinden. –bdijkstra (overleg) 29 okt 2018 18:39 (CET)

Dank! Hier heb ik zeker wat aan. TheBartgry (overleg) 29 okt 2018 20:07 (CET)

Structured Data - IRC office hour today, 1 November

There will be an IRC office hour for Structured Data on Commons today, 1 October 2018, from 17:00-18:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. You can find date/time conversion, as well as a link to join the chat in your browser if needed, on the IRC Office hours page on Meta. I realize this may be short notice for some people; I am experimenting with advanced notice times to see what works best for the most people, I'll be giving more warning before the next office hour. I look forward to seeing you there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 1 nov 2018 17:02 (CET)

Editing News #2—2018

Dit bericht in een andere taal lezen • Abonneer je op de meertalige nieuwsbrief

Wist je dat?

Wist je dat je de visuele tekstverwerker op mobiele apparaten kunt gebruiken?

Klik op het potlood-icoon om te beginnen met bewerken. De pagina opent waarschijnlijk in de wikitekstverwerker.

Je ziet een ander potlood-icoon in de werkbalk. Klik op dat potlood-icoon om te schakelen tussen visueel bewerken en brontekst bewerken.

Vergeet niet je wijzigingen te publiceren als je klaar bent.

Je kan de gebruikersgids lezen en helpen vertalen. De gebruikersgids bevat meer informatie over de werking van de visuele tekstverwerker.

Sinds de laatste nieuwsbrief heeft het Editing-team het meeste werk aan de nieuwe wikitekstverwerker en de visuele diff-tool afgerond. Het team is begonnen met onderzoek naar de behoeften van bewerkers die gebruikmaken van mobiele apparaten. Hun work board is beschikbaar in Phabricator. Hun huidige prioriteiten bestaan uit het repareren van bugs en het verbeteren van mobiel bewerken.

Recente wijzigingen

• Het Editing-team heeft een eerste verslag over mobiel bewerken gepubliceerd.
• Het Editing-team is begonnen met een ontwerpstudie naar visueel bewerken op de mobiele website. Nieuwe bewerkers hebben moeite met het uitvoeren van simpele taken op een smartphone, zoals het aanbrengen van links naar Wikipedia-artikelen. Lees hier het verslag.
• Het Reading-team werkt aan een apart project voor mobiele bijdragen.
• De oude wikitekstverwerker uit 2006 wordt niet langer ondersteund. Indien je gebruikmaakte van die werkbalk zul je geen enkele werkbalk meer zien. Kies een andere bewerkingsmodus in je bewerkingsvoorkeuren, lokale gadgets of betafuncties.
• Het Editing-team heeft de geschiedenis en status van de visuele tekstverwerker beschreven in deze opgenomen publieke presentatie (begint op 29 minuten en 30 seconden).
• Het Language-team heeft vorige maand een nieuwe versie van Vertaling van inhoud (CX2) uitgebracht, op Internationale Vertaaldag. Die versie integreert de visuele tekstverwerker om sjablonen, tabellen en afbeeldingen te ondersteunen. Het produceert ook betere wikitekst wanneer het vertaalde artikel gepubliceerd wordt. [244]

Laten we samenwerken

• Het Editing-team wil visueel bewerken op de mobiele website verbeteren. Lees alsjeblieft hun ideeën en vertel het team wat jij denkt dat bewerkers die de mobiele site gebruiken zou kunnen helpen.
• De Community Wishlist Survey begint volgende week.
• Help ons alsjeblieft met vertalingen als je dit niet in je voorkeurstaal leest! Abonneer je op de vertalersmaillijst of neem direct contact met ons op. We stellen je op de hoogte als de volgende editie klaarstaat om vertaald te worden. Bedankt!

Structured Data - copyright and licensing statements

I've posted a second round of designs for modeling copyright and licensing in structured data. These redesigns are based off the feedback received in the first round of designs, and the development team is looking for more discussion. These designs are extremely important for the Commons community to review, as they deal with how copyright and licensing is translated from templates into structured form. I look forward to seeing you over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 2 nov 2018 17:25 (CET)

Lang leve je bot.

Kan je ervoor zorgen dat je bot niet meer aan de pagina Eredivisie 2018/19 (vrouwenvoetbal) komt. Ik heb werkelijk geen behoefte aan het op inconsequente wijze invoegen van totaal nutteloze spaties, en het verwijderen van blanco regels die er, vanwege de leesbaarheid, heel bewust staan. En om nog niet aangerichte ellende in de toekomst te voorkomen, alle handbal competities ook van af blijven. Sb008 (overleg) 4 nov 2018 20:39 (CET)

Tech News: 2018-45

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

Recent changes

• You can now use TemplateWizard to edit templates. This works only with the 2010 wikitext editor and not in the visual editor or the 2017 wikitext editor. If you click on you can enter the information in a pop-up. You can turn on TemplateWizard in your beta feature preferences. [245]

Changes later this week

• When you edit with the visual editor you can use the "Automatic" citation tab. This helps you generate citations. You will now be able to write plain text citations or the title of a journal article or a book in this tab. This will search the Crossref and WorldCat databases and add the top result. [246]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 November. It will be on all wikis from 8 November (calendar).

Beoordelingsnominatie Portaal:Hoofdpagina (mobiel)

Een Wikipedia-gebruiker heeft één of meer artikelen die u hebt gestart of waar u aan hebt gewerkt genomineerd voor beoordeling. Dit betekent dat deze gebruiker het artikel op dit moment niet geschikt acht voor Wikipedia. Het gaat om Portaal:Hoofdpagina (mobiel) dat is genomineerd door bdijkstra. De reden hiervoor staat op Wikipedia:Te beoordelen pagina's/Toegevoegd 20181110 en dat is ook de plek waar u kunt reageren op de nominatie. Wellicht hebt u er iets aan om de conventies door te lezen; daar kunt u zien hoe een artikel eruit hoort te zien. Zie ook Help:Waarom staat mijn artikel op de beoordelingslijst. Mocht het artikel na 2 weken als niet voldoende worden beoordeeld, dan zal het worden verwijderd.

N.B. dit is een automatisch bericht geplaatst door een bot. Ik heb niets met de nominatie te maken en kan er niets aan doen. Als u vragen hebt, kunt u die het beste stellen aan de gebruiker die het artikel genomineerd heeft. --Nlwikibots (overleg) 11 nov 2018 01:02 (CET)

Tech News: 2018-46

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

Recent changes

• Some old mobile browsers can use the watchlist again. This has not worked for a while. These browsers are called grade C browsers. This helps for example Windows Phone 8.1 with Internet Explorer and Lumia 535 with Windows 10. [247]

Problems

• You can choose to see edit conflicts in a two-column view. This is a beta feature. You can find it in your preferences. Users who use this view saw the edit conflict resolution page when they wanted to see a preview. This has been fixed. [248][249][250]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 November. It will be on all wikis from 15 November (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 14 November at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• You can use the content translation tool to translate articles. The developers are working on a new version. One of the changes will be a maintenance category. Articles where users add a lot of text from machine translation without changing it will be in that category. This is so the community can review it. The users will also have been warned before they publish the article that it has a lot of unchanged text from machine translations. [251]

Henriette Voûtebrug

De Henriette Voûtebrug heeft op Wikidata en dus automatisch op Commons verkeerde coördinaten meegekregen. Ik heb geprobeerd dat te corrigeren, maar faalde. Wil jij er nog eens naar kijken?Ceescamel (overleg) 18 nov 2018 14:06 (CET)

Cees, ik heb het gefixed. Op wikidata kun je ook een precisie opgeven, en die stond ingesteld op een bepaalde waarde. Toen ik die weghaalde (vinkje bij het bewerken van de coor-property), kon ik de coordinaten veel preciezer ingeven. Nu staat de pointer nog maar tien meter verkeerd (maar wel midden in de sloot). Dat lijkt me voldoende precies. Edoderoo (overleg) 18 nov 2018 15:30 (CET)

Tech News: 2018-47

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

Recent changes

• You can vote on proposals in the Community Wishlist Survey. The survey decides what the Community Tech team will work on. You can vote until 30 November.
• There is an A/B test for sameAs data. This is to make it easier to find the right information with a search engine. This changes the metadata for a wiki page. It doesn't change how the page looks. [252]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 21 November at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia wikis use templates to show readers there are problems with the content on some pages. For example if there are no sources or the page needs to be rewritten. The mobile website will soon show more information when you use these templates. Some templates may need to be updated. [253]
• The Education Program extension was removed from all Wikimedia projects. The database tables used by the extension will be archived. This will happen in a month. If you want the information on your wiki you should move it to a normal wiki page. [254]

Sjaal

Dag Romaine,

Leuk je te ontmoeten vanavond!

Ik geloof dat ik m'n sjaal ben vergeten daar. Een blauw-grijze. Heb je die gevonden, en zou je er een veilige plek aan kunnen geven?

Bedankt!

Jasper

Weet jij wat er aan de hand is met de tools?

Romaine, Not in other language tool werk niet meer. Weet jij hoe dat opgelost raakt? SvenDK (overleg) 25 nov 2018 17:42 (CET)

Tech News: 2018-48

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

Recent changes

• On wikis with translatable pages you could create a mess when you moved a page that had translatable subpages. A subpage is when you use / to create a new page: /wiki/Page/Subpage. The subpages would be moved but not the translations. The subpages are no longer automatically be moved. This is to make it safer to move pages. [255]

Changes later this week

• The advanced search interface will be available by default on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. It's already active on German, Farsi, Arabic and Hungarian Wikipedia. [256]

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 November. It will be on all wikis from 29 November (calendar).

Meetings

Future changes

• The mw.util.jsMessage() function was deprecated in 2012. It will be removed next week. Look for the warning Use of "mw.util.jsMessage" is deprecated in the JavaScript console to know if you use an affected script or gadget. If you are a gadget maintainer you should check if your JavaScript code contains mw.util.jsMessage. There is a migration guide. It explains how to use mw.notify instead. [258]

WikiUilen

Hallo, Romaine en Taketa, Ik zag in de geschiedenis van de projectpagina WikiUilen dat je deze pagina samen met Gebruiker Taketa hebt opgestart - en ik ga er daarom vanuit dat jullie de initiators ervan zijn. Ik had er nog niet eerder van gehoord en was er aangenaam door verrast. Zoiets bindt, terwijl menige discussie op OP's vaak WP-ers uiteendrijven. Ik wilde even kwijt dat ik het een zeer lovenswaardig initiatief vind, daarom: mijn complimenten! Mvg, --Theo Oppewal (overleg) 29 nov 2018 19:31 (CET)

Nederlands-Indisch voetbalelftal (2)

Hello, I find in Nederlands-Indisch voetbalelftal, William Harings as "Meeste interlands" and "Topscorer". It was amazing because even if I don't speak dutch, I can see 13 goals during 12 games. Moreover, in RSSSF.com only a goal is for Harings, so i think it was a vandalism made by an IP [259]. Have you got any informations about that? Cordially.FCNantes72 (overleg) 29 nov 2018 22:13 (CET)

Verzoek

Hoi Romaine, heb je misschien tijd om hier: Overleg sjabloon:Tabel tijdlijn modellen Porsche 911 naar te kijken? Vr groet Saschaporsche (overleg) 1 dec 2018 20:29 (CET)

Zoe te zien heeft iemand het al ingepast. Romaine (overleg) 2 dec 2018 13:44 (CET)

Student van je?

Een tijdje geleden bleek een artikel over scheepvaart van een student van je te zijn (Overleg_gebruiker:TheDragonhunter#Artikel_vanuit_kladblok_online_publiceren) die het nog niet mocht publiceren. Is deze gebruiker toevallig ook een student van jou, want De roerwerking van het schip lijkt me nog niet helemaal af (wel grotendeels, hoor, gewoon wat details op het eerste zicht zoals categorieën of vet in de inleiding). Een prettige dag verder.Mvg, TheDragonhunter | Vragen? 2 dec 2018 06:12 (CET)

@TheDragonhunter: Ja, die gebruiker is ook een van mijn studenten en heeft zich niet aan de instructies gehouden. Het zich enkel baseren op een cursus van school lijkt mij onvoldoende als bron. Ik zal een bericht sturen aan de student. Romaine (overleg) 2 dec 2018 12:56 (CET)

Het is weer december

Eens per jaar klaag ik dat je overlegpagina te groot wordt. Op mijn werkbeest met 8Gb krijg ik je overlegpagina nog wel geladen, maar het kost duidelijk moeite. Mensen met een oude Chromebook gaan toch wel problemen krijgen denk ik. Kun je overwegen ook een keer in juli je pagina alvast (deels) te archiveren? Edoderoo (overleg) 2 dec 2018 13:23 (CET)

Mmm, normaliter archiveer ik meermaals per jaar. Zo te zien was 2018 een niet echt soepel lopend jaar voor mij dat dit (te) weinig gebeurd is. Romaine (overleg) 2 dec 2018 13:32 (CET)

Sjabloon:Citeer boek

Hallo Romaine, ik had daar een specifieke vraag m.b.t. tot dit sjabloon: kan een bepaalde pagina worden aangegeven zoals bv. in de Engelse versie (cite book)? Nog ene kleine opmerking: helemaal bovenaan links staan enkele leestekens (, '.) is dit de bedoeling? Thnks. Lotje (overleg) 17 dec 2018 11:22 (CET)

Volgens mij kun je een bepaalde pagina'aangeven met de parameter pagina's? Maar ik lees dat je ook de Engelstalige parameters gebruiken kunt. Edoderoo (overleg) 17 dec 2018 12:41 (CET)

@Edoderoo: o.a. voor het invoegen van Engelstalige sjablonen werd ik in het verleden geblokkeerd... Lotje (overleg) 17 dec 2018 15:27 (CET)

Lotje, | pagina's = is een van beschikbare parameters voor dit sjabloon. Je kan daar gebruik van maken. Met vriendelijke groet, RonnieV (overleg) 17 dec 2018 15:31 (CET)

Hi Lotje, Je kunt bij het schrijven van het artikel het Engelse sjabloon Cite book invoegen, dat zou moeten werken en voegt dan Citeer boek in.

Dat er op de sjabloonpagina wat leestekens staan is geen probleem, het is slechts de sjabloonpagina en laat dan zien wat er gebeurt als er niets ingevuld wordt en kan helpen als er problemen mochten zijn. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 25 dec 2018 15:36 (CET)

Tech News: 2018-51

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

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.

Recent changes

• Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [260][261]
• Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [262]
• The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.

Problems

• <ref> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <ref name="adams" group="books">. If a <ref> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [263]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 19 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Foundation Android app team are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can read more about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
• tiles.wmflabs.org and wma.wmflabs.org will stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes the mapnik gadget, hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going. [264]

Multilingual captions beta testing

The Structured Data on Commons team has begun beta testing of the first feature, multilingual file captions, and all community members are invited to test it out. Captions is based on designs discussed with the community[265][266] and the team is looking forward to hearing about testing. If all goes well during testing, captions will be turned on for Commons around the second week of January, 2019.

Multilingual captions are plain text fields that provide brief, easily translatable details of a file in a way that is easy to create, edit, and curate. Captions are added during the upload process using the UploadWizard, or they can be added directly on any file page on Commons. Adding captions in multiple languages is a simple process that requires only a few steps.

The details:

• There is a help page available on how to use multilingual file captions.
• Testing will take place on Beta Commons. If you don’t yet have an account set up there, you’ll need one.
• Beta Commons is a testbed, and not configured exactly like the real Commons site, so expect to see some discrepancies with user interface (UI) elements like search.
• Structured Data introduces the potential for many important page changes to happen at once, which could flood the recent changes list. Because of this, Enhanced Recent Changes is enabled as it currently is at Commons, but with some UI changes.
• Feedback and commentary on the file caption functionality are welcome and encouraged on the discussion page for this post.
• Some testing has already taken place and the team are aware of some issues. A list of known issues can be seen below.
• If you discover a bug/issue that is not covered in the known issues, please file a ticket on Phabricator and tag it with the “Multimedia” tag. Use this link to file a new task already tagged with "Multimedia."

Known issues:

• Search is not currently working on Beta Commons. Search is not needed for testing captions, but service should be restored soon.
• Language name display inconsistencies in multilingual file captions
• Language names for multilingual File captions can run into the caption value in the mobile view
• Deleting a caption field that has text that exceeds the limit does not re-enable the "publish" button
• "Edit" tab for past revisions should be "restore"
• When using the back button, recently added captions sometimes don't display in Chrome
• File Captions can't be edited on mobile browsers
• Wrong font weight for some language labels on SDC captions box

Thanks!

Nieuwe dubbele schrijfweek kerstweken 2018

Vlag van Luxemburg

Allereerst alvast fijne dagen gewenst!

Honderdtachtig jaar geleden werd België met het Verdrag van Londen (1839) een onafhankelijk land. Daarbij verloor Luxemburg meer dan de helft van haar grondgebied aan België. Laten we door artikelen te schrijven dit land weer groeien, maar dan op Wikipedia, en het op één na kleinste land binnen de Europese Unie op Wikipedia groot maken.

Daarom houden we van 22 december 2018 t/m 6 januari 2019 de jaarlijkse kerstschrijfweken schrijfweken die gericht zijn op dit gebied. Iedereen kan meedoen door te schrijven over Luxemburg en verwante onderwerpen.

Meer informatie, de deelnemerslijst en de bijdragenlijst zijn te vinden op: Wikipedia:Wikiproject/Schrijfweek/Luxemburg.

Deelnemen & meer informatie · Deelnemerslijst · Bijdragenlijst · Uit- of inschrijven voor deze mailing - Romaine 22 dec 2018 03:34 (CET)

PS: Vanaf vandaag kun je ook je stem uitbrengen welk project of welke gebruiker een WikiUil zou moeten krijgen voor diens bijdragen aan de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia in 2018. Zie daarvoor op de pagina der genomineerden. - Taketa & Romaine 22 dec 2018 03:34 (CET)

Sjablonen R- en S-zinnen overbodig

Beste Romaine, ik heb begrepen dat jij functioneert als een expert op het vlak van sjablonen. Ikzelf ben de laatste dagen bezig geweest met alle artikelen over chemische stoffen waarop nog oude R- en S-zinnen stonden aan te passen naar de nieuwe verplichte GHS-regelgeving (de zogeheten H- en P-zinnen). Dat betekent dat er (als ik alles goed heb overlopen) nu geen enkele verwijziging meer is naar de sjablonen van R- en S-zinnen. Is het nuttig om al die sjablonen (met name in Categorie:Wikipedia:Sjablonen R-zinnen en Categorie:Wikipedia:Sjablonen S-zinnen) te verwijderen? Alleszins zou moeten duidelijk gemaakt worden dat deze sjablonen niet meer mogen gebruikt worden en dat enkel nog de sjablonen betreffende H- en P-zinnen mogen gebruikt worden. Kan jij jouw licht hierop laten schijnen, aub? Alvast dank. — Mileau (overleg) 23 dec 2018 09:28 (CET)

Daarnaast bedacht ik dat ook de parameters in het Sjabloon:Infobox chemische stof zouden moeten aangepast worden, en wel als volgt:

• | Rzinnen = naar | Hzinnen =
• | Szinnen = naar | Pzinnen =

Zou jij dit kunnen aanpassen in de broncode, alsook (geautomatiseerd met AWB allicht) in alle artikelen die dit sjabloon dragen? Bedankt! — Mileau (overleg) 23 dec 2018 09:40 (CET)

Hallo Mileau, Daar wil ik op een later moment wel naar kijken. Als de sjablonen met R-zinnen en S-zinnen niet meer gebruikt worden, kunnen ze inderdaad allemaal genomineerd worden ter verwijdering. Ik ga er in 2019 naar kijken. Fijne dagen! Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 25 dec 2018 15:40 (CET)

Dat is fijn om te horen, Romaine. Bedankt en ook voor u een prettig eindejaar gewenst. Beste groeten — Mileau (overleg) 25 dec 2018 17:08 (CET)

Vlaams striperfgoed

Vrolijk kerstfeest Romaine! Sorry dat ik je hiermee lastig val op deze dag, maar als ik het me goed herinner, zit of zat (nu ja, toch minstens in de vereniging zelf) jij in het bestuur bij Wikimedia België. Ik kwam iets tegen dat misschien een kans is voor Wikipedia met betrekking tot het stripverhaal. Het stripverhaal is nogal een jong medium en is pas echt populair geworden na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Echter bij afbeeldingen enzo zijn de vereisten meestal dat de auteur al 70 jaar dood moet zijn (WO II is ruwweg 70 jaar geleden... ) waardoor we vrij weinig materiaal op Commons hebben. Er zijn natuurlijk uitzonderingen zoals sommige pioniers (langer dan 70 jaar dood) of sommige auteurs die eens een afbeelding vrijgeven. Je hebt sinds enkele jaren ook gelukkig panoramavrijheid (voor standbeelden en stripmuren in de openbare ruimte), maar dan nog. Een half jaar geleden is er vanuit Strip Turnhout een onderzoek gestart om het huidige, versnipperde striperfgoedbeleid aan te pakken. Inmiddels doen daar nog Vlaamse instellingen aan mee: Strip Turnhout (organisatie achter Stripgids), FARO. Vlaams steunpunt voor cultureel erfgoed, het Letterenhuis, Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience en LUCA School of Arts (waar de enige stripopleiding in Vlaanderen is). Die onderzoeker die ze aangewezen hebt, doet nu een online enquête om te vragen hoe we het striperfgoed in Vlaanderen kunnen verbeteren. Zie hier voor de enquête en nog wat info Voor die enquête gaan ze nu ook luisteren naar betrokken partijen. Striperfgoed in Vlaanderen is inderdaad nogal versnipperd. Nu dat die instellingen daarover eens samenzitten is het misschien een kans om vanuit Wikimedia België eens te horen of dat het verbeteren van striperfgoed in Vlaanderen ook inhoudt dat er misschien eens wat meer vrijgegeven wordt op Commons? Misschien een Wikipedia:GLAM dus? Nu ja, het is slechts een suggestie. Ik dacht dat je het misschien wel interessant vindt. Prettige feestdagen en een gelukkig nieuwjaar.Mvg, TheDragonhunter | Vragen? 25 dec 2018 07:37 (CET)

Hi TheDragonhunter, Ook fijne dagen! Dank voor het attenderen op deze enquête, ik heb ze zojuist ingevuld vanuit het standpunt van Wikipedia/Wikimedia en samenwerking met Wikimedia België erin voorgesteld. Wellicht kun je de enquête zelf ook invullen als projectmedewerker van wikiproject strips? (vergeet dan Wikidata ook niet) Hoe meer het vanuit ons standpunt wordt ingevuld, hoe meer kans dat ze er rekening mee houden. Als er verdere ontwikkelingen zijn hoor ik het graag en als ik wat tegenkom zal ik jullie op de hoogte houden.

Als die instellingen andere partijen in het striperfgoed gaan raadplegen en dan ook met ons contact opnemen, zullen we van de partij zijn en input geven. We kunnen daarbij leunen op de Visienota ‘een Vlaams cultuurbeleid in het digitale tijdperk’ die reeds gepubliceerd is. Ons perspectief zal in ieder geval zijn dat striperfgoed open onder een vrije licentie/publiek domein beschikbaar zou moeten zijn, zodat dit materiaal oplevert voor artikelen in Wikipedia, afbeeldingen in Wikimedia Commons, metadata in Wikidata en meer.

Wikimedia België is opgericht door vrijwilligers van Wikipedia en bedoeld om vrijwilligers op Wikipedia en haar zusterwiki's te ondersteunen waar dat gewenst wordt. Externe organisaties willen altijd graag weten met wie ze samenwerken en dan is het hebben van Wikimedia België als concrete organisatie handig. Onder de vlag van Wikimedia België kan in principe iedereen een project of activiteit organiseren dat ten doel heeft om de kennis/het materiaal op een of meerdere van de Wikimedia-platformen te vergroten.

In Brussel kom ik regelmatig langs een stripmuur en zat dan te denken of het mogelijk is een project rond stripmuren te organiseren. Misschien is dat iets voor jullie wikiprojectgroep?

Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 25 dec 2018 15:32 (CET)

Sterrendag

Het is vandaag sterrendag, de dag waarop we elkaar nog even extra bedanken voor een jaar vol enthousiasme en prachtige bijdragen. Herintroductie sterrendag: Uit te reiken aan iemand die u afgelopen jaar positief opviel. Dat kan een hele serie bewerkingen of initiatieven zijn, maar ook één bijzondere bewerking. Het idee is laagdrempelig; de ster hoeft niet ergens op een lijst ingeschreven te worden, slechts uitdelen ter waardering. Leuk zou zijn om daar een kleine persoonlijke motivatie aan toe te voegen, maar niets is verplicht. Het gaat om het gebaar. Het uitdelen ervan vindt plaats op 31 december, deelt u er ook eentje uit vandaag?
