Wikidata weekly summary #229

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Worked more on making it possible to use Wikidata items and properties to make statements about multimedia files on Commons in the future
    • Adding a list of items used in an article to the edit page on Wikipedia and co (phabricator:T144921)
    • More work on automated language links for Wiktionary (phabricator:T145412)
    • Improve the way to count and display the number of items on the main page (phabricator:T144687)
    • Solved a bug on the gadget DuplicateReferences (phabricator:T146318)
    • Clicking on the desired property while adding a new Statement didn't focus the value input. That has been fixed (phabricator:T144037).
    • Made it possible to use the bzr and cvs protocols in URL data types (phabricator:T146692)

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 this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 October. It will be on all wikis from 6 October (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 4 October at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

Recent changes

  • You can show Special:RecentChanges on a page by using {{Special:RecentChanges}}. You can now use tag filters by using {{Special:RecentChanges/tagfilter=tagname}}. [3]
  • The notification badge is coloured if you have notifications. When you check the notification the badge will now turn grey on all wikis instead of just the local one. [4]
  • Colours used in the Wikimedia wikis' main interface changed slightly. This is to make them easier to see for readers and editors with reduced eyesight. [5]

Changes this week

  • Hidden HTML comments will be more visible when you edit with the visual editor. <!-- You write hidden HTML comments like this. --> [6]

Examples of such languages are Chinese and Serbian. [7]

st anger

look at the history, im not the vandal. Norschweden (talk) 23:44, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

@Norschweden: You're edit warring, plain and simple. You've reverted other people three four times in the past 24 hours, which is a violation of WP:3RR. You should undo your last revert and make your case on the talk page. clpo13(talk) 23:46, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
i just revert to the former status quo, the other guy is a vandal who deletes genres with a source and put a unsourced genre there Norschweden (talk) 23:49, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Morris B. Belknap

You have removed the notability tag from Morris B. Belknap I am curious to know HOW you think he meets the WP:GNG. Happy to be persuaded but I'm not seeing it. Theroadislong (talk) 16:22, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

There are a multitude of sources reporting on his run for Kentucky governor, including an article in The New York Times. Of course, gubernatorial candidates aren't inherently notable, but given that he's discussed in at least 9 independent sources, some quite in-depth, I think GNG is well-satisfied. clpo13(talk) 16:28, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
Ok thank you...I remain unconvinced and as you say gubernatorial candidates aren't inherently notable. Theroadislong (talk) 16:34, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

RE:Highly inappropriate prodding and speedy deletion requests

And I refer you to WP:NOREFS. Me-123567-Me (talk) 23:14, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Problems

  • Some users got a warning about Wikipedia's security certificate last week. This was because of a problem GlobalSign had. This has now been fixed. Only a small number of users got the warning. [8]
  • Editors couldn't edit semi-protected pages in the Wikipedia app for Android. This has now been fixed in the beta version. [9]

Changes this week

  • There will be no new MediaWiki version this week. [10]

Future changes

  • The Editing Department are working on a new wikitext editor. It will have tools that are in the visual editor but not in the wikitext editor today. You can read more about this. This is an early plan and things can change. The old wikitext editor will still exist.

Wikidata weekly summary #231

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

Wikidata weekly summary #232

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


Wikidata celebrates its 4th anniversary on October 29th. Around this date, a lot of events will happen online and offline.

Birthday events

Editors all around the world organize meetups to celebrate the birthday. You can join one of them or create an event in your own town!

Online

A lot of surprises, stories and presents will be shared between October 29th and November 4th. Check the project chat or the mailing-list every day to see what happens!

You can also participate by posting a story (more info here), a tweet with #WikidataBirthday, let a message or a present on the birthday page.

If you're participating to Wikidata's birthday, you can add this template to your user page.



  • Development
    • Fixed a rounding error in the geo coordinate formatter (see GitHub). Thanks, 0x686578!
    • Improvements to technical error messages, e.g. "illegal value" when editing a Commons media statement (phabricator:T141880).
    • Continued working on a new parser function to get rich, formatted statements.
    • Continued working on making entity usage information visible to users.

Problems

  • The abuse filters had a problem and caught too many edits. This has now been fixed. [11]

Changes this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from October 25. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from October 26. It will be on all wikis from October 27 (calendar).
  • The "Search" text in the search box will show the name of the project. For example, on Wikipedia it will say "Search Wikipedia". [12]
  • About a dozen wikis now have numerical sorting in categories. If your wiki wants numerical sorting in categories you can ask for it. [13]
  • Some wikis that want numerical sorting in categories can also ask to use UCA to sort categories. The biggest difference is that characters with diacritics will be sorted together. For example, for most languages Ä will be sorted with A instead of at the end of the alphabet. This is not true for languages that have Ä as a character in their alphabet. Wikis that already use UCA are listed on Meta. Languages that can use UCA are listed on MediaWiki.org. You can test it.

Weight and Mass

Thank you for choosing to remove your commentary on the Science Reference Desk. I hope I did not offend you; my biggest concern was to prevent other readers from getting even more confused, because this stuff can be really tricky. Clearly, the question posed by the OP indicated that their understanding was already a bit upside-down, so I didn't want them getting even farther off-track.
I'm sure I've made some egregious errors in my own day... hopefully after your snack-break you'll be back contributing at full strength!

Discretionary Sanctions

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.


Please note that United States presidential election, 2016 is under a 1RR as part of those sanctions. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 23:20, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Unit conversion has been rolled out for the first dimension for a short while now.
    • Undo diffs now utilize language fallbacks for property and item labels (gerrit:315291). Thanks to Matěj Suchánek!

Tech News: 2016-47

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

  • Administrators, bureaucrats, oversighters and checkusers can now use two-factor authentication. This makes their Wikimedia accounts more secure. This can be turned on in Special:Preferences. There are discussions on how to best turn it on for everyone. [31]
  • You can now search for file properties. For example you can search for media type, how big a file is or what resolution it has. [32]
  • The latest Collaboration team products newsletter has been published. It has more details about their work than Tech News has.

Problems

  • A hacker group is hacking Wikimedia accounts. They can probably do this because users have the same passwords on Wikimedia wikis as on other sites. Please have a password you use only on the Wikimedia wikis and nowhere else. This is especially important for administrators, bureaucrats, oversighters and checkusers. These users can also turn on two-factor authentication. [33]

Changes this week

  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
  • RevisionSlider will be a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia. This will happen on 22 November. It will come to other wikis later. [34][35][36]

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 22 November at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • It will be possible to do cross-wiki search. The developers who work on this are looking for communities that want to test this. [37]
  • Hovercards will leave the beta stage. The Wikimedia Foundation Reading Web team wants communities to set Hovercards as a default option for readers who are not logged in. Communities that are interested can say so on the Hovercards talk page. [38]

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 this week

  • When someone tries to log in to a blocked account they will be blocked by a cookie. This means their browser will be blocked even if they change their IP address. This makes it more difficult for returning vandals. [39]
  • When you use Content Translation to adapt a template to a new translation it will work differently. You can adapt big templates such as infoboxes. Translators will have control over the template parameters. A first version of this is released this week. It is possible it will not work correctly with all templates. There will be more updates for this soon. [40]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 November. It will be on all wikis from 1 December (calendar).
  • Gadgets will have a new option called "hidden". This means you can register gadgets that can't be turned on or off from the preferences page. Hiding gadgets was already possible by using [rights=hidden]. You should now use [hidden] instead. [rights=hidden] in old gadgets should be changed to [hidden]. [41][42]

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 29 November at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Pan Am 103

You reverted an edit I made to this article, asking how the source cited was erroneous. I explained this in detail in the talk page for the article. Please read what I wrote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morag Kerr (talk • contribs) 01:02, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

My apologies. I didn't see the extended rationale on the talk page. clpo13(talk) 16:20, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
I thought I had added "see talk page" to the edit summary, but no worries. I added a wee bit to squash the long-standing (but wrong) tale that the plane was late, with references for that.
I'm actually thinking of doing a complete re-write of this page because it's a mess and doesn't serve the needs of someone just beginning to look at the Lockerbie issue at all well. I probably have a deeper knowledge of the nuts and bolts of the basics of the affair (not the associated middle-eastern terrorism/politics though) than anyone else on the planet, possibly not even excepting John Ashton. But it's a huge amount of work so I'm a bit reluctant. Morag Kerr (talk) 13:09, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
