Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Bot rights for User:Wikisource-bot

Hi. With the requirement to fix the page categorisation as notified at phab:T198470, I would like to propose to the community to have our bot run through and address the problem with the solution identified. The bot has been used to resolve issue previously on the Wikisources.

• special:centralauth/Wikisource-bot

Thanks. Billinghurst (overleg) 7 jul 2018 12:33 (CEST)

@Asacha, Romaine your decision? Ankry (overleg) 8 aug 2018 09:23 (CEST)

@Billinghurst & Ankry: Done - Romaine (overleg) 8 aug 2018 09:26 (CEST)

Addition of nlWS to global bots

Above I have added a bot request, as this wiki is not within the global bot project, per list m:Special:WikiSets/2. Would the community consider opting in to the global bots, so that when we have Wikisource-wide fixes for mw:Extension:ProofreadPage that is possible to organise the bots to do the jobs within Phabricator, and simply get the fix in place. Billinghurst (overleg) 7 jul 2018 12:34 (CEST)

@BillinghurstThis looks like a splendid idea to me. What do we have to do to opt in? --Dick Bos (overleg) 10 jul 2018 09:24 (CEST)

@Dick Bos A community decission, and to a steward request on m:SN with a link to it. Ankry (overleg) 15 aug 2018 11:57 (CEST)

Seems fine to me too. Romaine (overleg) 15 aug 2018 12:44 (CEST)

Looks like a good idea to me. Is there anyone who has objections? WeeJeeVee (overleg) 15 aug 2018 20:23 (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. [3]
• 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. [4]
• All wikis now use the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy. This could cause errors. You can help fix the errors. [5]

Problems

• When you rolled back an edit it could get both the Rollback and Undo tags. This has been fixed. [6]
• Rollbacks from autopatrolled users were not marked as patrolled. This has been fixed. [7]

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). [8][9]
• 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. [10]
• 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. [11]
• Structured discussions toolbars will have more style options. [12]
• 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. [13]
• 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. [14]
• Page previews will be on by default for new accounts. [15]

Bewerkingsgeschiedenis

Kan een moderator de geschiedenis overhevelen naar Oud en trouw Roermond van de internationale Wikisource? Alvast bedankt,  Klaas `Z4␟` V:  16 jul 2018 08:22 (CEST)

Auteur wel op Wikidata, niet op Wikipedia

Voorbeeld: Alexander Franciscus van Beurden. Kan dat in het sjabloon opgelost worden? Klaas `Z4␟` V:  16 jul 2018 09:13 (CEST)

@User:KlaasZ4usV - Ik snap niet precies wat je bedoelt. Wat moet er in het sjabloon opgelost worden?
Zoals je overigens wellicht gezien hebt, heeft @User:Vincent Steenberg het lemma inmiddels op nl-wikipedia aangemaakt. Groet, --Dick Bos (overleg) 15 aug 2018 18:49 (CEST)

Klopt. Is daarmee inderdaad inmiddels Uitgevoerd Ik was vergeten er hier nog eens naar te kijken, waarvoor mijn verontschuldigingen. Voor een volgende keer zou het handig zijn bij afwezigheid van een artikel in de database nlwiki (= Nederlandstalige Wikipedia) het sjabloon naar wikidata te laten verwijzen, omdat je dan meer kans hebt dat er over een auteur iets is geschreven. Mogelijk dat in alle gevallen te doen… Heel alert, beste collega Dick Bos! Klaas `Z4␟` V:  15 aug 2018 21:50 (CEST)

Toevoegen van annotatie templates

Beste Wikisource community,

Bestaat er een mogelijkheid dat templates die het linken tussen verschillende wikimedia projecten aan de hand van annotaties ook wordt toegevoegd aan nl.wikisource? Het gaat dan vooral om templates die het annoteren van plaatsen en tijd mogelijk maken maar ook van species ed. zie: https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/2909/element/4/416/

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Category:Annotation_templates

Mvg, O.

New user group for editing sitewide CSS / JS

(Help met het vertalen in uw taal)

Beste allen,

Om de veiligheid van al onze lezers en bewerkers te verbeteren, zijn de bevoegdheden voor het bewerken van sitebrede CSS en JS veranderd (hieronder vallen pagina's als MediaWiki:Common.css en MediaWiki:Vector.js, die code bevatten die in de browsers van gebruikers wordt uitgevoerd). Er is een nieuwe gebruikersgroep, interface-admin, aangemaakt. Over vier weken, zullen enkel gebruikers met dit gebruikersrecht CSS en JS pagina's buiten hun eigen gebruikersruimte kunnen aanpassen (dit zijn alle pagina's die eindigen met .css of .js binnen de MediaWiki:-naamruimte of van subpagina's van een andere gebruiker).

Meer informatie en achtergrond over deze verandering is hier te vinden.

Voeg alstublieft gebruikers die CSS en JS-pagina's moeten bewerken toe aan deze gebruikersgroep (dit kan door bureaucraten of stewards worden gedaan, op dezelfde manier als het toevoegen van nieuwe moderatoren). Dit is een gevaarlijk gebruikersrecht. Een kwaadwillende gebruiker of een hacker die toegang heeft tot interfacemoderatorrechten kan dit veel erger misbruiken dan bijvoorbeeld moderatorrechten. Geef deze rechten enkel aan gebruikers die het nodig hebben, die vertrouwd zijn binnen de gemeenschap en die correcte wachtwoord- en computerveiligheidsvoorschriften volgen (het gebruik maken van sterke wachtwoorden en twee-factor-authenticatie waar mogelijk, het niet hergebruiken van wachtwoorden, het niet installeren van dubieuze software, enzovoorts).

Hartelijk dank,
Tgr (talk) 30 jul 2018 19:45 (CEST) (via MassMessage)
