Franse Wikisource tekst als bron voor een vertaling gebruiken

Links en rechts zijn er diverse artikelen in de Journal de Bruxelles met informatie over de nl:wiki:Brits-Russische expeditie naar Noord-Holland. Dit zijn:

Ik stel voor een boek te maken met als titel: Vertaalde nieuwsberichten uit 'Journal de Bruxelles' over de Brits-Russische expeditie naar Noord-Holland. Per bladzijde wil ik een nieuwsbericht laten vertalen en als bron een van de bovenstaande links gebruiken. Is een bronlink naar de Franse wikisource mogelijk? Dat in plaats van de het gebruikelijke beeld van de gescande tekst. Sommige nieuwsberichten zijn gespreid over meerdere fysieke bladzijden (scans) in de Commons.Smiley.toerist (overleg) 5 mrt 2019 18:19 (CET)[reageren]

Uit [3] maak ik uit dat het mogelijk is naar anderstalige bronnen te verwijzen. Ik wil een goede structuur opzetten, zodat de vertaalschool de vertaling als stageproject kan doen. Hoe pak ik dit aan?Smiley.toerist (overleg) 5 mrt 2019 18:06 (CET)[reageren]

Uit m'n hoofd gezegd gaat (of ging?) collega A. Wossink daarover. Als ik jou was zou ik contact met hem opnemen via zijn OP en/of Wikimail of rechtstreeks met de betreffende verta(a)l(st)er Frans. Een andere optie is een van onze Belgische collegae. Hun Frans is vaak uitstekend. Klaas `Z4␟` V: 18 apr 2019 22:54 (CEST)[reageren]

Leuk plan. Ik neem aan dat het gaat over w:nl:Brits-Russische expeditie naar Noord-Holland.

In eerste instantie zouden de afzonderlijke vertaalde teksten op afzonderlijke pagina's kunnen worden geplaatst. Vgl. de pagina's van Gebruiker:Vincent Steenberg, bijv. Algemeen Handelsblad/Jaargang 87/Nummer 27684/Avondblad/Prijsvragen. Geef maar een gil als je hulp nodig hebt. Arne Wossink werkt al een tijdje niet meer bij WMNL. --Dick Bos (overleg) 31 jul 2019 13:06 (CEST)[reageren]

Recent changes

Pages can use geocoordinates from Wikidata with the mw.wikibase.entity:formatStatements Lua function or the #statements parser function. If they do, they will now be shown using a Kartographer <maplink> if the wiki can use Kartographer. You can report bugs or ask questions on Phabricator.
There is now an EventStream to see when links are added or removed on Wikimedia wikis. You can read the discussions and plans.

Problems

Some wikis will not be able to edit for a short period of time on 19 March (UTC). This will start at 15:00 UTC. It will last up to 15 minutes but probably shorter. You can see the list of affected wikis. This is because of network maintenance. You can still read the wikis.
Editors who use Firefox to edit with the visual editor had a problem with copying text. When they tried to select text that included footnotes, templates or block images in the middle they would often only get part of the text. This has now been fixed. [4]
Some maps didn't work for a while on 8 March. This has been fixed. [5][6]

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (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 13 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Changes later this week

When you use rollback you will be able to get a confirmation prompt on most wikis. It asks you if you wanted to do the rollback. This is to avoid misclicks. You will have to opt in to get it. On German Wikipedia it will be an opt-out feature from 28 March. [7][8]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 March. It will be on all wikis from 21 March (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 20 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

Admins will be able to block someone from editing a page or a namespace. This already works on a few Wikimedia wikis. You can read more. If your wiki wants to be an early tester of this, you can tell the developers. [9]
Toolforge will shut down the Ubuntu Trusty job grid. This will happen the week of 25 March. Tools that use this grid needs to be moved to the new Debian Stretch job grid. If they haven't, they will be taken offline. Maintainers can restart the tools later. Users may not be able to use them in the meanwhile. You can see a list of affected tools.

Recent changes

The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [10]

Problems

There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [11]
The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [12]
Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [13]

Changes later this week
