Një lajm i keq për mua.

Ç'kemi Klein! ToTeporetermerter56 është këtu (unë). Unë kam një lajm të keq për veten time. Unë do të jem joaktiv në këtë Wikipedia duke ndaluar së rregulluari gabimet drejtshkrimore dhe duke mos i zëvendësuar fjalët e huaja në shqip në faqe, pse, sepse po lodhem. Por, mos u shqetëso, unë do të rikthehem më 31 maj të këtij viti. Unë ende jam aktiv në llogarinë time "ToTeporetermerter56" në Fandom. Mirupafshim deri më 31 maj! ToTeporetermerter56 (diskutimet) 17 maj 2024 14:40 (CEST)

ToTeporetermerter56, përshëndetje! Puna në projektet Wiki është vullnetare që do të thotë se mund të largohesh lirshëm e të rikthehesh po njëlloj kur dhe sa herë të dëshirosh pa pasur nevojë për lajmërime paraprake. Pushim të mbarë! — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 17 maj 2024 14:48 (CEST)

Tech News: 2024-21

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 Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [1]
• New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [2][3]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (calendar). [4][5]
• The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.

Recent changes

• Several bugs related to the latest updates to the UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons have been fixed. For more information, see T365107 and T365119.
• In March 2024 a new addPortlet API was added to allow gadgets to create new portlets (menus) in the skin. In certain skins this can be used to create dropdowns. Gadget developers are invited to try it and give feedback.
• Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration. Interface editors should check the rendering on mobile devices for aspects related to the classes: .collapsible, .multicol, .reflist, .coordinates, .topicon. Further details are available on replacement CSS if it is needed.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 May. It will be on all wikis from 30 May (calendar). [6][7]
• When you visit a wiki where you don't yet have a local account, local rules such as edit filters can sometimes prevent your account from being created. Starting this week, MediaWiki takes your global rights into account when evaluating whether you can override such local rules. [8]

Do të kthehem më 31 maj.

Ç'kemi Klein! Unë po pres 31 majin që të kthehem këtu në Wikipedia-n shqip. Fjala "rozë" nuk është në shqip, është në sllovenisht dhe quhet në shqip "trëndafil", kjo ngjyrë i përket gjinisë femërore, unë në kanalin tim "kale cake" në YouTube kam bërë video me reklama të lojërave për vajza, por i kam fshirë dje. Puç! ToTeporetermerter56 (diskutimet) 29 maj 2024 14:45 (CEST)

Faqja që do ta redaktoj më 31 maj

Green Motion Albania do të jetë faqja që do të rregulloj gabimet drejtshkrimore më 31 maj kur të rikthehem në këtë Wikipedia, Klein. Shihemi pas 2 ditësh kur të rikthehem këtu! Mirupafshim! ToTeporetermerter56 (diskutimet) 29 maj 2024 15:08 (CEST)

Recent changes

• The software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering. [14]
• The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
• The HTML markup used for citations by Parsoid changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the mw-reference-text class, Parsoid now also adds the reference-text class for better compatibility with the legacy parser. More details are available. [15]

Problems

• There was a bug with the Content Translation interface that caused the tools menus to appear in the wrong location. This has now been fixed. [16]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 June. It will be on all wikis from 13 June (calendar). [17][18]
• The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: Parsoid will now generate a <span class="mw-cite-backlink"> wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. More details are available. [19]
• On multilingual wikis that use the <translate> system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community requests it. [20]

Bëj një propozim për të krijuar një Wikipedia në gjuhën Arbëreshe

@Klein Muçi Përshëndetje Klein! Unë jam nga Shqipëria dhe kam vënë re se është bërë një propozim: https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Arbëresh nga disa përdorues në Wikimedia, për të shtuar gjuhën Arbëreshe, një gjuhë që bën pjesë në grupin e gjuhëve Shqipe dhe që është e ngjashme me gjuhën Shqipe, por që ka ndryshime të dallueshme nga gjuha jonë. Do të doja nga ju si administrator i Wikipedia Shqip, të përkrahni nismën e disa përdoruesve që kanë bërë këtë propozim, duke i kërkuar Wikimedia me ngulm që ta shtojnë këtë gjuhë, pasi komuniteti Arbëresh në Itali, duhet të ketë një Wikipedia të saj, dhe përdoruesit e regjistruar të kësaj Wikipedia, të krijojnë artikuj dhe gjithashtu t'i redaktojnë ato. Do ju falenderoj shumë nëse do të merrni nismën dhe do të bëni një kërkesë për krijimin e një Wikipedia në gjuhën Arbëreshe, në mënyrë që të ketë 2 Wikipedia në 2 gjuhë të grupit të gjuhëve Shqipe: Shqip dhe Arbërisht. Mendoj se kërkesa apo propozimi juaj si administrator i Wikipedia në Shqip, për ta shtuar këtë gjuhë, do të merret në konsideratë, duke qënë se ju keni privilegje të larta në Wikipedia.

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

• People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see Edit check for more details. [21]
• The new Community Configuration extension is available on Test Wikipedia. This extension allows communities to customize specific features to meet their local needs. Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other Community Configuration use cases in the future. [22][23]
• The dark mode beta feature is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the project talk page. [24]

Problems

• Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [25]
• Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here. [26]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar). [27][28]
• Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable. [29]
• Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [30]

Recent changes

• Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions on the project talkpage. [31]
• The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode. [32]

Problems

• You can copy permanent links to talk page comments by clicking on a comment's timestamp. This feature did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug. [33]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 June. It will be on all wikis from 27 June (calendar). [34][35]
• Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this feature on Diff or on Mediawiki.org. [36]

Recent changes

• Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update. [37]
• Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [38]
• If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [39][40]
• Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [41]
• Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Mandailing (w:btm:) [42]

Problems

• Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team. [43]

Future changes

• Please help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 2 weeks. The survey is covered by this privacy statement. Some translations are available.

Recent changes

• At the Wikimedia Foundation a new task force was formed to replace the disabled Graph with more secure, easy to use, and extensible Chart. You can subscribe to the newsletter to get notified about new project updates and other news about Chart.
• The CampaignEvents extension is now available on Meta-wiki, Igbo Wikipedia, and Swahili Wikipedia, and can be requested on your wiki. This extension helps in managing and making events more visible, giving Event organizers the ability to use tools like the Event registration tool. To learn more about the deployment status and how to request this extension for your wiki, visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-wiki.
• Editors using the iOS Wikipedia app who have more than 50 edits can now use the Add an Image feature. This feature presents opportunities for small but useful contributions to Wikipedia.
• Thank you to all of the authors who have contributed to MediaWiki Core. As a result of these contributions, the percentage of authors contributing more than 5 patches has increased by 25% since last year, which helps ensure the sustainability of the platform for the Wikimedia projects.

Problems

• A problem with the color of the talkpage tabs always showing as blue, even for non-existent pages which should have been red, affecting the Vector 2022 skin, has been fixed.

Future changes

• The Trust and Safety Product team wants to introduce temporary accounts with as little disruption to tools and workflows as possible. Volunteer developers, including gadget and user-script maintainers, are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. The team has created documentation explaining how to do the update. Learn more.

Recent changes

• Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both Gerrit and GitLab, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the Migration status page.
• The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
• Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
• Editors who have access to The Wikipedia Library can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation contacted them to restore access. You can read more about this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week.

Changes later this week

• This week, dark mode will be available on a number of Wikipedias, both desktop and mobile, for logged-in and logged-out users. Interface admins and user script maintainers are encouraged to check gadgets and user scripts in the dark mode, to find any hard-coded colors and fix them. There are some recommendations for dark mode compatibility to help.

Future changes

• Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the temporary accounts feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page. [44]
• Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.

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

Feature News

• Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
• Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and Minerva skin was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to Codex by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [45]
• Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via GlobalVanishRequest. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [46]
• Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone.
• Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the Commons Impact Metrics analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [47]

• Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on Diff.
• How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent blog post by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the WMF Future Audience initiative, where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a ChatGPT plugin and Add a Fact, to help take Wikimedia into the future.

Research about the tools on Wikimedia projects by the CEE Hub

Hi everyone,

We would like to invite you to submit your responses to the survey dedicated to the tools that are used currently across the Wikimedia projects and the tools that you want to have.

This survey was made by the working group of the CEE Hub, and your responses will be reviewed afterwards, as we want to continue supporting the communities. That support can be documentation for certain most used tools by other communities across the region per specific topics, finding solutions for new tools to be created in the future, creating most needed tools in the region (so called "regional wishlist list"), and many other options.

Deadline to fill in the survey is 20th of August, 2024.

Submit your answers here

Thank you in advance for your time that you will dedicate in filling in this survey --MediaWiki message delivery (diskutimet) 26 korrik 2024 15:07 (CEST)

Tech News: 2024-31

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

Feature news

• Editors using the Visual Editor in languages that use non-Latin characters for numbers, such as Hindi, Manipuri and Eastern Arabic, may notice some changes in the formatting of reference numbers. This is a side effect of preparing a new sub-referencing feature, and will also allow fixing some general numbering issues in Visual Editor. If you notice any related problems on your wiki, please share details at the project talkpage.

Bugs status

• Some logged-in editors were briefly unable to edit or load pages last week. These errors were mainly due to the addition of new linter rules which led to caching problems. Fixes have been applied and investigations are continuing.
• Editors can use the IP Information tool to get information about IP addresses. This tool is available as a Beta Feature in your preferences. The tool was not available for a few days last week, but is now working again. Thank you to Shizhao for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Project updates

• There are new features and improvements to Phabricator from the Release Engineering and Collaboration Services teams, and some volunteers, including: the search systems, the new task creation system, the login systems, the translation setup which has resulted in support for more languages (thanks to Pppery), and fixes for many edge-case errors. You can read details about these and other improvements in this summary.
• There is an update on the Charts project. The team has decided which visualization library to use, which chart types to start focusing on, and where to store chart definitions.
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikivoyage in Czech (voy:cs:) [48]

Learn more

• There is a new Wikimedia Foundation data center in São Paulo, Brazil which helps to reduce load times.
• There is new user research on problems with the process of uploading images.
• Commons Impact Metrics are now available via data dumps and API.
• The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available.

Growth News, July 2024

Community Configuration

The Growth team released Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at Special:CommunityConfiguration.

This new special page replaces Special:EditGrowthConfig. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for AutoModerator (T365046) and other features will be available in the future.

You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation.

If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future!

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

Future work

Increase constructive activation on mobile

As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.

Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.

Stay informed

Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

Tech News: 2024-32

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

Feature news

• Two new parser functions will be available this week: {{#dir}} and {{#bcp47}}. These will reduce the need for Template:Dir and Template:BCP47 on Commons and allow us to drop 100 million rows from the "what links here" database. Editors at any wiki that use these templates, can help by replacing the templates with these new functions. The templates at Commons will be updated during the Hackathon at Wikimania. [49][50]
• Communities can request the activation of the visual editor on entire namespaces where discussions sometimes happen (for instance Wikipedia: or Wikisource: namespaces) if they understand the known limitations. For discussions, users can already use DiscussionTools in these namespaces.
• The tracking category "Pages using Timeline" has been renamed to "Pages using the EasyTimeline extension" in TranslateWiki. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.

Project updates

• Editors who help to organize WikiProjects and similar on-wiki collaborations, are invited to share ideas and examples of successful collaborations with the Campaigns and Programs teams. You can fill out a brief survey or share your thoughts on the talkpage. The teams are particularly looking for details about successful collaborations on non-English wikis.
• The new parser is being rolled out on Wikivoyage wikis over the next few months. The English Wikivoyage and Hebrew Wikivoyage were switched to Parsoid last week. For more information, see Parsoid/Parser Unification.

Learn more

• There will be more than 200 sessions at Wikimania this week. Here is a summary of some of the key sessions related to the product and technology area.
• The latest Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin is available.
• The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New design previews for Translatable pages; Updates about MinT for Wiki Readers; the release of Translation dumps; and more.
• The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available.
• The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available.

Contact with the ambassador

Dear Klein Muçi! I found your contact information on the Ambasadat page. I would like to draw your attention to an open case that indicates a media hack. A week and a half ago, we wrote that several non-existent persons have articles on the Albanian Wikipedia, but we have not yet received a response: Wikipedia:Kuvendi#Suspected_fake_articles. We would like to request the deletion of the listed articles. Could you handle this? Thank you: Pallor (diskutimet) 6 gusht 2024 13:25 (CEST)

Tech News: 2024-33

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

Feature news

• AbuseFilter editors and maintainers can now make a CAPTCHA show if a filter matches an edit. This allows communities to quickly respond to spamming by automated bots. [51]
• Stewards can now specify if global blocks should prevent account creation. Before this change by the Trust and Safety Product Team, all global blocks would prevent account creation. This will allow stewards to reduce the unintended side-effects of global blocks on IP addresses.

Project updates

• Nominations are open on Wikitech for new members to refresh the Toolforge standards committee. The committee oversees the Toolforge Right to fork policy and Abandoned tool policy among other duties. Nominations will remain open until at least 2024-08-26.
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in West Coast Bajau (w:bdr:) [52]

Tech News: 2024-34

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

Feature news

• Editors who want to re-use references but with different details such as page numbers, will be able to do so by the end of 2024, using a new sub-referencing feature. You can read more about the project and how to test the prototype.
• Editors using tracking categories to identify which pages use specific extensions may notice that six of the categories have been renamed to make them more easily understood and consistent. These categories are automatically added to pages that use specialized MediaWiki extensions. The affected names are for: DynamicPageList, Kartographer, Phonos, RSS, Score, WikiHiero. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match. Thanks to Pppery for these improvements. [53]
• Technical volunteers who edit modules and want to get a list of the categories used on a page, can now do so using the categories property of mw.title objects. This enables wikis to configure workflows such as category-specific edit notices. Thanks to SD001 for these improvements. [54][55]

Bugs status

• Your help is needed to check if any pages need to be moved or deleted. A maintenance script was run to clean up unreachable pages (due to Unicode issues or introduction of new namespaces/namespace aliases). The script tried to find appropriate names for the pages (e.g. by following the Unicode changes or by moving pages whose titles on Wikipedia start with Talk:WP: so that their titles start with Wikipedia talk:), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/ instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed. A full log (including pages for which appropriate names could be found) is available in phab:P67388.
• Editors who volunteer as mentors to newcomers on their wiki are once again able to access lists of potential mentees who they can connect with to offer help and guidance. This functionality was restored thanks to a bug fix. Thank you to Mbch331 for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 18 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Project updates

• The application deadline for the Product & Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) has been extended to September 16. Members will help by providing advice to Foundation Product and Technology leadership on short and long term plans, on complex strategic problems, and help to get feedback from more contributors and technical communities. Selected members should expect to spend roughly 5 hours per month for the Council, during the one year pilot. Please consider applying, and spread the word to volunteers you think would make a positive contribution to the committee.

• The 2024 Coolest Tool Awards were awarded at Wikimania, in seven categories. For example, one award went to the ISA Tool, used for adding structured data to files on Commons, which was recently improved during the Wiki Mentor Africa Hackathon. You can see video demonstrations of each tool at the awards page. Congratulations to this year's recipients, and thank you to all tool creators and maintainers.
• The latest Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin is available, and includes some highlights from Wikimania, an upcoming Language community meeting, and other news from the movement.

Tech News: 2024-35

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

Feature news

• Administrators can now test the temporary accounts feature on test2wiki. This was done to allow cross-wiki testing of temporary accounts, for when temporary accounts switch between projects. The feature was enabled on testwiki a few weeks ago. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Temporary Accounts is a project to create a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors which are no longer made public. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page.
• Later this week, editors at wikis that use FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") may notice that the indicators at the top of articles have changed. This change makes the system more consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface. [56]

Bugs status

• Editors who use the 2010 wikitext editor, and use the Character Insert buttons, will no longer experience problems with the buttons adding content into the edit-summary instead of the edit-window. You can read more about that, and 26 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Project updates

• Please review and vote on Focus Areas, which are groups of wishes that share a problem. Focus Areas were created for the newly reopened Community Wishlist, which is now open year-round for submissions. The first batch of focus areas are specific to moderator workflows, around welcoming newcomers, minimizing repetitive tasks, and prioritizing tasks. Once volunteers have reviewed and voted on focus areas, the Foundation will then review and select focus areas for prioritization.
• Do you have a project and are willing to provide a three (3) month mentorship for an intern? Outreachy is a twice a year program for people to participate in a paid internship that will start in December 2024 and end in early March 2025, and they need mentors and projects to work on. Projects can be focused on coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, research). See the Outreachy page for more details, and a list of past projects since 2013.

Follow up on files

Hello!

We talked earlier on Përdoruesi_diskutim:Klein_Muçi/Arkivi_6#NowCommons and Përdoruesi_diskutim:Klein_Muçi/Arkivi_5#Multimedia_management.

Is there is any news about status in cleaning up?

And perhaps you could check MediaWiki_diskutim:Licenses#Update_to_4.0?

I will put a list of files also on Commons in Përdoruesi:MGA73/Sandbox. Would you like to check them? And will it help you if I add a now commons on all of them? MGA73 (diskutimet) 28 gusht 2024 16:50 (CEST)

MGA73, hello! Yes, I remember and I thank you for following up. Unfortunately progress has been almost non-existent as throughout the months, our current active administration has been reduced to basically only me and it is hard to single-handedly mass-delete thousand of media items because of all the ripple effects such processes usually do bring. Just for general information, not long before we got this question asked at our VP: Wikipedia:Kuvendi#c-Klein Muçi-20240823093100-Aeternus-20240822205800. If you use any auto-translating software on it, you'll quickly see that we have users asking us to re-activate the local uploading of files and me replying that we can't afford to do that since we're not even being able to completely remove old not-allowed files and I reference our past discussion. Most of my work in the project is related to interface and technical stuff, I've always preferred leaving article (media) creation/deletion to other people. That said, I do understand that given the lack of other active admins that responsibility has fallen on me now so I'm trying to help but it is a process I generally struggle with.
I've already replied about the licenses update process in the respective talk page.
As for media being on Commons, do they still exist? If I remember correctly from the last time we talked, all the duplicates were already removed, no? — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2024 10:20 (CEST)

I just deleted around 50 media that weren't being used and were likely violations of copyrights. Most of them at least. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2024 10:49 (CEST)

Unused files is a good place to start because it gives fewer complaints. :-)

The list of NowCommons will only show files that is still on Commons. I’m in the train and can’t make it until I’m home. I do not know if there are 2 or 200 files on the list.

Then we can see what to do next. Perhaps there are active users that can help clean up? That could be your reply to those that want to allow new uploads. “Yes once you have helped clean up existing mess” :-) --MGA73 (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2024 17:09 (CEST)

Hehe I forgot I had allready added the files on Commons to Përdoruesi:MGA73/Sandbox.

Have you contacted the active users on the list of files without alicense? If they add a valid license then the problem is fixed. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2024 18:18 (CEST)

I don't think most of them can be easily reached nowadays. (Or that valid licenses exist for most of those images for that matter.) Is there a category with all these files somewhere? It's easier to remove the images when you can see what you're removing, so you start with the less important ones. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 30 gusht 2024 19:18 (CEST)

Found it: Kategoria:Non Licensed Images

I'll try to again thin the numbers a bit but most likely this won't be enough still ultimately. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 30 gusht 2024 19:20 (CEST)

Hello again!

If you like to have things in a category I can mark all the files also on Commons with a "Now Commons". That will make it easy to see how many files are left and there will also be the template with the links to upload old versions and make an upload log.

Another thing. I noticed that Kategoria:Wikipedia license migration candidates was not completed (empty). I can fix those with my bot. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 15 shtator 2024 17:10 (CEST)

Only 2 files left. Can you fix those? They are protected. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 15 shtator 2024 19:09 (CEST)

MGA73, hello!
I think we've already removed all the files that are on Commons, no?
I'm not sure what I should do to those two files you mention. Remove protection? — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 18 shtator 2024 11:12 (CEST)

Hello! Not all files also on Commons are deleted. See my sandbox. I can update the list if there are too many allready deleted.

The two files: One is on Commons and can be deleted. Otherwise add the "|migration=relicense" or unprotect them then I can fix. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 18 shtator 2024 14:12 (CEST)

MGA73, I'm a bit confused: They are in Commons but they don't have a license?
I will unprotect them. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 19 shtator 2024 12:22 (CEST)

I have fixed Skeda:Liber-pyetje.svg. You can either delete it or keep it if you think it is high use so that a local file should be kept (if that is practice here). The other one is still protected. The file should have a better source and author but I assume the bird in the logo is now Public Domain so it is not a big deal. The license should be changed to {{GFDL|migration=relicense}}. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 19 shtator 2024 15:57 (CEST)

Hmm... For some reason it doesn't appear as protected. That's odd... - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 24 shtator 2024 02:03 (CEST)

I see this:

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:

This page has been protected from editing because it is transcluded in the following page, which is protected with the "cascading" option turned on: Përdoruesi:Puntori/Faqja Kryesore

--MGA73 (diskutimet) 24 shtator 2024 16:10 (CEST)

MGA73, thank you! The protection has been removed. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 25 shtator 2024 09:56 (CEST)

Thank you. File is now fixed. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 25 shtator 2024 16:52 (CEST)

Another thing. There are a few files in Kategoria:Screenshots of Wikipedia that have a wrong license. Perhaps someone can find a better license. Or maybe they have to be deleted. Too bad there are not a few other users that help you clean up. I do not think there are any easy fixes right now. At least not any realistic. Let me know if you get any ideas. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 25 shtator 2024 17:05 (CEST)

MGA73, I’ve been gradually reducing the number of unlicensed photos. Initially, I focused on removing images that were already available on Commons under different names. Now, I’m concentrating on deleting photos of subjects that are already well-represented on Commons, like plants and trees. While all non-licensed photos will eventually be cleaned up one way or another, I believe taking this slow, methodical approach is best given our situation: one person handling the deletion of 1,500 photos accumulated over 20 years. Though the process could be automated and completed in 10 minutes, it’s a significant responsibility for just one individual. I’m moving cautiously to allow others the chance to step in or raise concerns if necessary. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 26 shtator 2024 13:09 (CEST)

Yes it’s a big job you are working on. I marked some with PD-ineligible and some with a NowCommons. I think some can be marked as non-free logo or film cover etc but sadly many files can’t be saved. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 26 shtator 2024 16:45 (CEST)

MGA73, deleted the ones that can be found on Commons. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 26 shtator 2024 19:08 (CEST)

@MGA73, what can we do, if anything, for photos such as these:

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 
5. 

There are many such technical diagrams, some in Albanian. They look to be created by people for educational reasons in certain subjects but they all lack licenses. Should they be deleted as well? - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 27 shtator 2024 14:42 (CEST)

Hello! We could perhaps call 1, 3 and 5 PD-ineligible but 2 and 4 are more complex so I’m not sure about those. So I suggest to mark the most simple and see if there are replacements for the more complex. If not you can either delete or mark them too. Uploader would probably have agreed to release them under a free license if ever asked. So as long as they are not very complex there is no hurry to delete them. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 27 shtator 2024 15:12 (CEST)

Sorry but what does PD-ineligible actually mean? - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 27 shtator 2024 18:02 (CEST)

Hello. You can checkstampa:PD-ineligible and c:COM:TOO. In short it means that to gain copyright you have to be creative. So you can’t just draw a circle and say you own the copyright for circles and no one else are allowed to draw circles. Same with single letters and words. But if you combine words you can gain copyright on a book for example. There is no simple rule defining when it is creative enough. And I read somewhere that you cannot get copyright on hard work either. So even if you make a book with the names and addresses of all the people that live in Albania or Denmark that’s not copyrighted at least not in the US. So I think simple diagrams are not copyrighted. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 27 shtator 2024 19:48 (CEST)

MGA73, ah, I see. I hadn't heard of that concept. Well, in that case, would you mind taking a look at Non Licensed Images and transport on Commons some of the diagrams (and similar images) that you think can be transported using that logic? I could do that too but given that you already appear to have more experience than me in this regard, you may have a more solid judgement in it. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 27 shtator 2024 23:33 (CEST)

Weekly highlight

• Editors and volunteer developers interested in data visualisation can now test the new software for charts. Its early version is available on beta Commons and beta Wikipedia. This is an important milestone before making charts available on regular wikis. You can read more about this project update and help to test the charts.

Feature news

• Editors who use the Speciale:UnusedTemplates page can now filter out pages which are expected to be there permanently, such as sandboxes, test-cases, and templates that are always substituted. Editors can add the new magic word __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ to a template page to hide it from the listing. Thanks to Sophivorus and DannyS712 for these improvements. [57]
• Editors who use the New Topic tool on discussion pages, will now be reminded to add a section header, which should help reduce the quantity of newcomers who add sections without a header. You can read more about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
• Last week, some Toolforge tools had occasional connection problems. The cause is still being investigated, but the problems have been resolved for now. [58]
• Translation administrators at multilingual wikis, when editing multiple translation units, can now easily mark which changes require updates to the translation. This is possible with the new dropdown menu.

Project updates

• A new draft text of a policy discussing the use of Wikimedia's APIs has been published on Meta-Wiki. The draft text does not reflect a change in policy around the APIs; instead, it is an attempt to codify existing API rules. Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the proposed update’s talk page until September 13 or until those discussions have concluded.

Learn more

• To learn more about the technology behind the Wikimedia projects, you can now watch sessions from the technology track at Wikimania 2024 on Commons. This week, check out:
  • Charts, the successor of Graphs - A secure and extensible tool for data visualization (25 mins) – about the above-mentioned Charts project.
  • State of Language Technology and Onboarding at Wikimedia (90 mins) – about some of the language tools that support Wikimedia sites, such as Content/Section Translation, MinT, and LanguageConverter; also the current state and future of languages onboarding. [59]

Feature news

• Starting this week, the standard syntax highlighter will receive new colors that make them compatible in dark mode. This is the first of many changes to come as part of a major upgrade to syntax highlighting. You can learn more about what's to come on the help page. [60][61]
• Editors of wikis using Wikidata will now be notified of only relevant Wikidata changes in their watchlist. This is because the Lua functions entity:getSitelink() and mw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid) will have their logic unified for tracking different aspects of sitelinks to reduce junk notifications from inconsistent sitelinks tracking. [62]

Project updates

• Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [63]
• Contributors of 11 Wikipedias, including English will have a new MOS namespace added to their Wikipedias. This improvement ensures that links beginning with MOS: (usually shortcuts to the Manual of Style) are not broken by Mooré Wikipedia (language code mos). [64]

Tech News: 2024-38

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

Improvements and Maintenance

• Editors interested in templates can help by reading the latest Wishlist focus area, Template recall and discovery, and share your feedback on the talkpage. This input helps the Community Tech team to decide the right technical approach to build. Everyone is also encouraged to continue adding new wishes.
• The new automated Speciale:NamespaceInfo page helps editors understand which namespaces exist on each wiki, and some details about how they are configured. Thanks to DannyS712 for these improvements. [65]
• References Check is a feature that encourages editors to add a citation when they add a new paragraph to a Wikipedia article. For a short time, the corresponding tag "Edit Check (references) activated" was erroneously being applied to some edits outside of the main namespace. This has been fixed. [66]
• It is now possible for a wiki community to change the order in which a page’s categories are displayed on their wiki. By default, categories are displayed in the order they appear in the wikitext. Now, wikis with a consensus to do so can request a configuration change to display them in alphabetical order. [67]
• Tool authors can now access ToolsDB's public databases from both Quarry and Superset. Those databases have always been accessible to every Toolforge user, but they are now more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account. In addition, Quarry's internal database can now be queried from Quarry itself. This database contains information about all queries that are being run and starred by users in Quarry. This information was already public through the web interface, but you can now query it using SQL. You can read more about that, and 20 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
• Any pages or tools that still use the very old CSS classes mw-message-box need to be updated. These old classes will be removed next week or soon afterwards. Editors can use a global-search to determine what needs to be changed. It is possible to use the newer cdx-message group of classes as a replacement (see the relevant Codex documentation, and an example update), but using locally defined onwiki classes would be best. [68]

Technical project updates

• Next week, all Wikimedia wikis will be read-only for a few minutes. This will start on September 25 at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. This maintenance process also targets other services. The previous switchover took 3 minutes, and the Site Reliability Engineering teams use many tools to make sure that this essential maintenance work happens as quickly as possible. [69]

Tech in depth

• The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes details about: research about hook handlers to help simplify development, research about performance improvements, work to improve the REST API for end-users, and more.
• To learn more about the technology behind the Wikimedia projects, you can now watch sessions from the technology track at Wikimania 2024 on Commons. This week, check out:
  • Hackathon Showcase (45 mins) - 19 short presentations by some of the Hackathon participants, describing some of the projects they worked on, such as automated testing of maintenance scripts, a video-cutting command line tool, and interface improvements for various tools. There are more details and links available in the Phabricator task.
  • Co-Creating a Sustainable Future for the Toolforge Ecosystem (40 mins) - a roundtable discussion for tool-maintainers, users, and supporters of Toolforge about how to make the platform sustainable and how to evaluate the tools available there.

Request to move 'Wikipedia:Shtete Sovrane' to 'lista e shteteve' / Kërkesë për të zhvendosur 'Wikipedia:Shtete Sovrane' në 'lista e shteteve'

Can you please move the page 'Wikipedia:Shtete Sovrane' to 'lista e shteteve' because that page is a list of countries or sovereign states, and isn't the same as the article 'shtetet anëtare të Kombeve të Bashkuara' ('member states of the United Nations' in English)?

Tech News: 2024-39

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

Weekly highlight

• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday September 25 at 15:00 UTC. Reading the wikis will not be interrupted, but editing will be paused. These twice-yearly processes allow WMF's site reliability engineering teams to remain prepared to keep the wikis functioning even in the event of a major interruption to one of our data centers.

Updates for editors

A screenshot of the interface for the Alt Text suggested-edit feature

• Editors who use the iOS Wikipedia app in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Chinese, may see the Alt Text suggested-edit experiment after editing an article, or completing a suggested edit using "Add an image". Alt-text helps people with visual impairments to read Wikipedia articles. The team aims to learn if adding alt-text to images is a task that editors can be successful with. Please share any feedback on the discussion page.
• The Codex color palette has been updated with new and revised colors for the MediaWiki user interfaces. The most noticeable changes for editors include updates for: dark mode colors for Links and for quiet Buttons (progressive and destructive), visited Link colors for both light and dark modes, and background colors for system-messages in both light and dark modes.
• It is now possible to include clickable wikilinks and external links inside code blocks. This includes links that are used within <syntaxhighlight> tags and on code pages (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto and Sanitized CSS). Uses of template syntax {{…}} are also linked to the template page. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [70]
• Two bugs were fixed in the GlobalVanishRequest system by improving the logging and by removing an incorrect placeholder message. [71][72]
• View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• From Wikimedia Enterprise:
  • The API now enables 5,000 on-demand API requests per month and twice-monthly HTML snapshots freely (gratis and libre). More information on the updates and also improvements to the software development kits (SDK) are explained on the project's blog post. While Wikimedia Enterprise APIs are designed for high-volume commercial reusers, this change enables many more community use-cases to be built on the service too.
  • The Snapshot API (html dumps) have added beta Structured Contents endpoints (blog post on that) as well as released two beta datasets (English and French Wikipedia) from that endpoint to Hugging Face for public use and feedback (blog post on that). These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.

In depth

• The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) is used to get answers to questions using the Wikidata data set. As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the WDQS Graph Split project, we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the "scholarly" and "main" subgraphs of Wikidata. The query.wikidata.org endpoint will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph. For more information, please see the announcement on Wikidata.

meta:Global reminder bot

Hi Klein, the bot now supports automatic date translation - see meta:Global reminder bot/global and meta:Global reminder bot/frwiki for examples. Let me know if you want it for this wiki as well. Leaderboard (diskutimet) 24 shtator 2024 08:34 (CEST)

Hello! Yes, it would be nice. Can you show an example in Albanian somewhere? This is just out of personal curiosity, whatever the result is you can activate it for us as well. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 24 shtator 2024 12:59 (CEST)

For the formatting given at meta:Global_reminder_bot/sqwiki, it would return "01 tetor 2024 00:00 (UTC)" as an example. Would that work? Leaderboard (diskutimet) 24 shtator 2024 17:07 (CEST)

Tech News: 2024-40

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

Updates for editors

• Readers of 42 more wikis can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the night-mode-checker tool if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The recommendations page provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month.
• Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding ?veaction=editsource to the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in your preferences. [73]
• For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the "donate" link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to "Create an account". This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin. Learn more about the changes related to donor experiences. [74]
• The CampaignEvents extension provides tools for organizers to more easily manage events, communicate with participants, and promote their events on the wikis. The extension has been enabled on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki. Chinese Wikipedia has decided to enable the extension, and discussions on the extension are in progress on Spanish Wikipedia and on Wikidata. To learn how to enable the extension on your wiki, you can visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-Wiki.
• View all 22 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should check if any action is required for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis.

In depth

• The server switch was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of only 2 minutes 46 seconds. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes. [75]

Meetings and events

• October 4–6: WikiIndaba Conference's Hackathon in Johannesburg, South Africa
• November 4–6: MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 in Vienna, Austria

Results from the survey about the tools on Wikimedia projects by the CEE Hub

Hi everyone,

During August 2024, we sent you a survey about the tools, so now we would like to bring to your attention the conclusions and results from the survey, which you can explore on this Meta page.

I hope you will enjoy exploring the mentioned tools on the page, along with other conclusions from the survey. Thanks for your time, and we will continue working on this important topic. --MediaWiki message delivery (diskutimet) 7 tetor 2024 14:10 (CEST)

Tech News: 2024-41

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

Weekly highlight

• Communities can now request installation of Automoderator on their wiki. Automoderator is an automated anti-vandalism tool that reverts bad edits based on scores from the new "Revert Risk" machine learning model. You can read details about the necessary steps for installation and configuration. [76]

Updates for editors

• Translators in wikis where the mobile experience of Content Translation is available, can now customize their articles suggestion list from 41 filtering options when using the tool. This topic-based article suggestion feature makes it easy for translators to self-discover relevant articles based on their area of interest and translate them. You can try it with your mobile device. [77]
• View all 12 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• It is now possible for <syntaxhighlight> code blocks to offer readers a "Copy" button if the copy=1 attribute is set on the tag. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [78]
• Customized copyright footer messages on all wikis will be updated. The new versions will use wikitext markup instead of requiring editing raw HTML. [79]
• Later this month, temporary accounts will be rolled out on several pilot wikis. The final list of the wikis will be published in the second half of the month. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 11 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available.
• Rate limiting has been enabled for the code review tools Gerrit and GitLab to address ongoing issues caused by malicious traffic and scraping. Clients that open too many concurrent connections will be restricted for a few minutes. This rate limiting is managed through nftables firewall rules. For more details, see Wikitech's pages on Firewall, GitLab limits and Gerrit operations.
• Five new wikis have been created:
  • a Wikipedia in Komering (w:kge:) [80]
  • a Wikipedia in Mooré (m:mos:) [81]
  • a Wiktionary in Madurese (wikt:mad:) [82]
  • a Wikiquote in Gorontalo (q:gor:) [83]
  • a Wikinews in Shan (n:shn:) [84]

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

Updates for editors

• The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [85][86]
• WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [87]
• View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.

Updates for technical contributors

• Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [88]
• Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed. [89]
• Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a <bdi> element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time. [90]

In depth

• The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes: updates on Wikimedia's authentication system, research to simplify feature development in the MediaWiki platform, updates on Parser Unification and MathML rollout, and more.
• The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition include: research about improving topic suggestions related to countries, improvements to PHPUnit tests, and more.

Aktualisht lista e artikujve në pritje për aprovim e kontroll është pak e gjatë dhe po punohet për të gjetur mënyra për ta ulur radhën e artikujve në pritje kështu që mbetet vetëm durimi si përgjigje ndaj kërkesës suaj. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 17 tetor 2024 11:03 (CEST)

A mund ti zhbesh veprimet e mia ne keto dy kategori..

@Klein Muçi, Kategoria:Greqi klasike dhe Kategoria:Greqi e lashtë. Te mbesin Greqia klasike dhe Greqia e lashtë.

Pasi nuk jane vende aktuale dhe jane fakt i kryer si Lufta e Dyte Boterore. U nxitova pak. Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 17 tetor 2024 12:09 (CEST)

Leutrim.P:  U bë!— Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 17 tetor 2024 12:52 (CEST)

Ndihme

Pershendetje do doja nje opinion ose ndijme, per nje nder faqet te krijuar mga une duke u bere shume editime (pending edits),gje qe kerkojne kohe mbase te aprovohen, do ishte e udhes te shkrihej me producedure te pershpejtuar dhe te hapja faqe te re me soruce kodin aktual? — Benny8907 (diskutimet) 21 tetor 2024 01:15 (CEST)

Benny8907, përshëndetje! Jo, kjo gjë është normale për një artikull. Secili prej tyre pritet që të ketë shumë redaktime nga shumë njerëz vazhdimisht. Thjesht kontrolli merr kohën e vetë, dhe këtu nuk ndikon shumë sa ndryshime në pritje ka për faqe pasi ne kemi vegla që i bashkojnë automatikisht në grupe ndryshimet individuale dhe i pranojmë/refuzojmë në grup sipas nevojës. Problemi është të vijnë kontrollues/administratorë që të merren me artikullin në fjalë. Kjo kërkon kohë, fatkeqësisht ndonjëherë me muaj, për shkak të numrit të vogël të vullnetarëve aktivë që kemi. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 23 tetor 2024 12:38 (CEST)

Tech News: 2024-43

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

Weekly highlight

• The Mobile Apps team has released an update to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the "Donate" button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned navigation refresh to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.

iOS Wikipedia App's profile menu and contents

Updates for editors

• Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's Content Discovery Experiments page and subscribe to their newsletter.
• Later this month, logged-out editors of these 12 wikis will start to have temporary accounts created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new type of user account. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available. Read more about the deployment plan across all wikis.
• View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the South Ndebele, Pannonian Rusyn, Obolo, Iban and Tai Nüa Wikipedia languages were created last week. [91][92][93][94][95]
• It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new Wikidata lexeme type launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in the latest Wikifunctions newsletter.

Updates for technical contributors

• Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new {{#timef:…}} parser function. For example, {{#timef:now|date|en}} will show as "21 December 2024". Previously, {{#time:…}} could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. #timef (or #timefl for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [96][97]
• Commons and Meta users can now efficiently retrieve the user's language using {{USERLANGUAGE}} instead of using {{int:lang}}. [98]
• The Product and Tech Advisory Council (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the Movement Strategy's Technology Council initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform. [99]

In depth

• The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: an upcoming Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module, new Community Configuration options, and details on new projects.
• The Wikimedia Foundation is now an official partner of the CVE program, which is an international effort to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This partnership will allow the Security Team to instantly publish common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) records that are affecting MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, along with any other code the Foundation is a steward of.
• The Community Wishlist is now testing machine translations for Wishlist content. Volunteers can now read machine-translated versions of wishes and dive into discussions even before translators arrive to translate content.

Meetings and events

• 24 October - Wiki Education Speaker Series Webinar - Open Source Tech: Building the Wiki Education Dashboard, featuring Wikimedia interns and a Web developer in the panel.
• 20–22 December 2024 - Indic Wikimedia Hackathon Bhubaneswar 2024 in Odisha, India. A hackathon for community members, including developers, designers and content editors, to build technical solutions that improve contributors' experiences.

Growth News, October 2024

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version on beta wikis and we will soon start an A/B test on our pilot wikis. This module will only display on the Newcomer Homepage if communities decide to utilize it, so learn how to configure the Community Updates module, or share your thoughts on the project's talk page.

One design concept aimed to increase constructive activation

Constructive activation experimentation

After showcasing early design ideas at Wikimania, we conducted user testing of design prototypes. We now aim to engage communities in further discussions and plan to run a targeted experiment, presenting a structured task within the reading view to logged-in new account holders with zero edits.

Community Configuration

This Community Configuration extension was developed to help communities customize wiki features to meet their unique needs. The Growth team is now helping other Wikimedia Foundation teams make their products configurable:

• The Moderation Tools team now provides Community Configuration for Automoderator. (T365046)
• Certain Babel extension settings will be configurable soon. (T328171)

Future work

As part of the Growth team annual plan, we will continue to investigate ways to increase constructive activation on mobile, while also working with Data Products to move forward A/B testing functionality via the Metrics Platform.

Community events

• Growth team members presented Community Configuration: Shaping On-Wiki Functionality Together at Wikimania (slides). The session recording is available to watch on YouTube. This session provided an update on the Community Configuration project and introduced details about the upcoming features that communities will soon be able to configure. Representatives from the Moderator Tools, Editing, Web, and Campaigns teams shared their plans for utilizing Community Configuration in the future. Following these presentations, the WMF Growth team's Benoît Evellin and Martin Urbanec answered audience questions.
• Habib Mhenni gave a presentation of how mentorship works at WikiIndaba 2024. The recording is available.

Stay informed

Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

Te falenderoj per pergjigjen

Mund te behem pjese si kontrollues? — Benny8907 (diskutimet) 23 tetor 2024 12:59 (CEST)

Benny8907, privilegjet e kontrolluesit zakonisht merren automatikisht (nëse nuk gabohem) pas disa muajve punë dhe kontributeve të dobishme të pranuara nga komuniteti. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 23 tetor 2024 13:02 (CEST)

Grise

Hello,

A deletion request has been made for a long time on Helidon Bendo. Could you please consider my request?

There are many other requests waiting to be processed on this page.

Cordially. —Eihel (diskutimet) 28 tetor 2024 03:26 (CET)

Eihel, hello!
Yes, we've had problems with articles in different ways, whether that is about those waiting to be deleted or those waiting to be reviewed. This is partly because in general I've personally avoided to deal with articles per se, choosing mostly to deal with the technical infrastructure, and partly because of the large amount of work that needs to be done by a single person. However recently @Leutrim.P has started dealing with articles so maybe he can work with that. If so, I'd just suggest to him to take care in handling deletions regarding book articles since we have yet to have a general community decision about those. Also that he should be aware that articles that have been part of the community for quite some time now, may need a voting at FG before being deleted. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 28 tetor 2024 22:31 (CET)

Hi Eihel, i removed your request for deletion of the article: Helidon Bendo, and i updated the content of the article, this article shouldnt be erased, the person in this case is a public figure in Albania, and important in law enforement agencies.
-- The page of articles for deletion will be emptied ASAP, mentioning that, there are also some open dissussions about their deletion - or not, so its a process which is one of my priorities, as you can see the categories proposed for deletion are emptied already, we have alot of things going on..
-- As for the books that are listed for deletion (which are part of a larger plan to decide if we will keep thausands of them or not), we will have an open disscussion about them, in Wikipedia:Forumi i Grisjes, (so we cant act now directly without a comprehensive decision). — Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 29 tetor 2024 02:17 (CET)

Hi @Leutrim.P,, Thank you for your corrections on the article, and for your 2 notifications. I made more changes after you.

When I put up the banner, the only thing that could be supported was "director of SHISH". The unreferenced information around the only information about his position seems to me light to make an article. A personality can seem important from a personal POV, but if there is nothing to support and reference an article, it is simply because it does not belong in the encyclopedia.

Removing the banner is not what is recommended, see how it works directly on the banner: it is better to discuss before. Doing this kind of maneuver leads to edit wars, regardless of your opinion about my decision, or your status with the encyclopedia. —Eihel (diskutimet) 29 tetor 2024 06:30 (CET)

Eihel,
Glad i could help. We have standards for dealing with certain issues, and also have set certain priorities which we tend to complete.
A personality can.., We have set new higher standards for creating new articles. And the old articles which arent up to standards (which might be thausands) wikipedians can bring to our attention by adding needs citation notes, which i didn't see in any of the articles you proposed for deletion. You can also help by adding references to articles. You should not directly propose their deletion.
Your user page states that your level of albanian language is 0, which is a bit surprising to me?!!
Which edit wars, can you link them here?, If you need any assistance, feel free to ask. Keep up the good work. — Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 29 tetor 2024 23:18 (CET)

Tech News: 2024-44

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

Updates for editors

• Later in November, the Charts extension will be deployed to the test wikis in order to help identify and fix any issue. A security review is underway to then enable deployment to pilot wikis for broader testing. You can read the October project update and see the latest documentation and examples on Beta Wikipedia.
• View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, Pediapress.com, an external service that creates books from Wikipedia, can now use Wikimedia Maps to include existing pre-rendered infobox map images in their printed books on Wikipedia. [100]

Updates for technical contributors

• Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [101]
• Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [102]

Përditësim!!

-- Hapje e diskutimit në kuvend për çështjen e: Përkthimit/përshtatjes së titujve/emrave të huaj në gjuhën shqipe (Shqipërimit të tyre).

-- Hapje e diskutimit në kuvend për çështjen e: Grisjes apo mbajtjes së artikujve të librave (Përmbajtje e shkurtër).

-- Artikujt e rinjë të kenë gjatësi faqeje të paktën 1024 bajt, nëse mund ta caktosh filtrin (vetëm për Artikujt) që të mos mund të krijohen pa përmbajtje minimale.

-- Propozoj kufizimin e numrit total të redaktimeve radhazi, shembull 50, i njejti përdorues të mos mundet radhazi ti bëj më shumë se numrin e kufizuar të redaktimeve në të njëjtin artikull brenda ditës, kjo do e rriste efikasitetin dhe cilësinë e përgjithshëme të kontrollimeve dhe do e ulte kohën e pritjes për vet redaktuesin.

Për dy pikat e para them se është më mirë t'i hapesh ti në Kuvend për shkak të përvojës tënde të gjatë. Është mirë ti fillosh sa më parë sepse diskutimi mund të zgjasë për një kohë. Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 29 tetor 2024 03:00 (CET)

Të hënën do të nis diskutimin për librat. Në përgjithësi dakord për të gjitha të tjerat përveç pikës së fundit pasi nuk besoj se ndikon drejtpërdrejtë te koha e kontrollit. Redaktimet grupohen automatikisht dhe mund të verifikohen/pranohen/refuzohen si grup. Përgjithësisht përdoruesit e rinj priren të bëjnë shumë redaktime të vogla pasi janë ende në proces mësimi dhe vënë re vazhdimisht gjëra për të rregulluar te artikulli i tyre. Ke vënë re shpesh raste kur faqe të ndryshme mund të marrin më shumë se 50 redaktime nga i njëjti përdorues brenda 24 orëve? - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 29 tetor 2024 11:15 (CET)

@Klein Muçi, E vërtetë, në rregull. Ka por në raste të rralla, nuk është me rëndësi thjesht desha mendimin tënd. -- Leutrim.P

@Leutrim.P, të sugjeroj të aktivizosh QuickRollback te veglat tani që ke privilegjet e administratorit që punon së bashku me QuickAccept dhe ButtonizeReview (por u shfaqet vetëm administratorëve). Kjo ndihmon për kontrollin. Gjithashtu, nuk jam i sigurt si po i shkruan mesazhet e fundit por çfarëdolloj mënyre që po përdor nuk ndjek radhitjen dhe heq mundësinë e të të kthyerit përgjigje, opsioni "Reply" nuk shfaqet pas mesazheve të tua, mbase prej problemeve me firmën. Mendova të të thoja. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 30 tetor 2024 00:37 (CET)

@Klein Muçi, ke te drejte per Reply, po perdori redakto nepermjet kodit, se nuk po me lejon te replikoj ne tekstin qe ti shkruan per ndonje arsye (ne disa raste me pare po, tani jo).. E aktivizova QuickRollback, flm. QuickAccept dhe ButtonizeReview po i perdorja tashme.

@Leutrim.P, aktivizo Factotum te veglat. Mund të të ndihmojë në këto raste për përgjigjet (dhe për situata të tjera). - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 30 tetor 2024 01:01 (CET)

@Klein Muçi, e kam aktiv tashme por spo funksionon ne kete rast. --Leutrim.P

Updates for editors

• Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [103]
• Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
• The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [104]
• View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.

Qwerfjkl (bot) - Problem me referimet (31 tetor 2024, 15:19)

Përshëndetje Klein,

Kohët e fundit kam nisur kontributet në Wiki shqip, ndaj do kisha nevojën tënde në lidhje me dy artikuj të cilët kam krijuar, të cilat u shfaqën me probleme. Bëhet fjalë për Leuven dhe Perceptroni shumështresor. Mendoj se problemet që u informova prej bot-it u ndreqën, por shoh që të dy postimet janë ende në pritje dhe të pashqyrtuara. Si procedohet në vazhdim, dhe si mund të di ku ekzaktësisht qëndron problemi me to? Faleminderit!

Gjithë të mirat,

--Druvari (diskutimet) 5 nëntor 2024 22:20 (CET)

Druvari, përshëndetje! Mbase @Leutrim.P mund të të ndihmojë më shumë në lidhje me artikujt. Nëse ai nuk mundet, mund të merrem unë pa problem. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 6 nëntor 2024 12:59 (CET)

Përshëndetje Druvari, të dy artikujt qenkan shqyrtuar nga Qendrimi15 tashmë. Nëse të duhet ndihmë diku tjetër më njofto. Punë të mbarë. — Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 6 nëntor 2024 16:15 (CET)

Perfekt, ju falenderoj të dyve! Gjithë të mirat! Druvari (diskutimet) 8 nëntor 2024 17:41 (CET)

Përditësim 2!!

-- Hapje e diskutimit në kuvend për çështjen e: Përkthimit/përshtatjes së titujve/emrave të huaj në gjuhën shqipe (Shqipërimit të tyre).
-- Do te ishte mire ti propozojme disa artikuj si te mire dhe te perkryer.. Besoj se ka te tille qe jane per ate status, dhe nuk e kane, pasi ti tashme e ke permendur kete teme qe ka nevoje per vemendje. Une sot do i votoj me radhe te gjithe qe jane tashme te listuar per te dy titujt. Sikur edhe ti propozonim disa te ri, nuk do ishte keq..
-- Ne rastin e artikujve te shteteve (si Kosova Shqiperia etj) do ishte e logjikshme te vendosim nje mbrojtje te perhershme per ndalim te zhvendosjes dhe vazhdojne kontributet ne pasurim te artikullit, sepse emri nuk eshte qe do te ndryshoje ne nje kohe te afert ose ndoneher!? Shiko si pike referimi artikujt me emra te shteteve ne wikiEN. Kjo do i mbronte titujt qe te jene te rezervuar vetem per ata artikuj, kjo sdo e ndikonte aspak redaktimin e tyre ne ndonje forme thjeshte do krijonte nje ambient me te sigurte per emra te shteteve. (Vendet me emra jo perfundimtar, mund ti leme pa mbrojtje per momentin) mu duk si ide e mire per diskutim..
-- Perse artikujt ne forumin e grisjes po ruhen ne dy vende te ndryshme besoj se po krijon pakez konfuzion dhe disa perdoruesve qe e kane ne watchlist njeren kur behet nje ndryshim ne tjetren nuk marrin njoftim.
Ky artikull qe e propozova per grisje disa dite me pare, Wikipedia:Forumi i Grisjes/Kërkesë për grisje/Arben Isaraj, nuk po shfaqet ne faqen e kuvendit tek listimi i artikujve per grisje: Forumi i Grisjes. Por edhe nese e klikon kutine e Forumit te grisjes ne fillim te faqes se kuvendit, as aty nuk figuron, mund ta gjesh vetem nese shkon drejt tek linku. Kjo krijon problemin qe dikush te votoje per shkak te mos njoftimit. Artikulli qe shtohet per grisje duhet automatikisht te shtohet ne te gjitha hapesirat e FG, dhe te perditesohen te gjithe njekohesisht nese dikush jep nje koment, ai te shtohet edhe ne vende te tjera ku gjendet diskutimi ne FG.. ?!!
-- A do duhej te mbyllej ky diskutim (Wikipedia:Kuvendi#Artikuj që janë vetëm tituj të librave), pasi po vazhdon diku tjeter, te: Wikipedia:Kuvendi#Artikujt për librat. Pastaj kete qe e ka cekur propozuesi e kam rishikuar (Fikrije Lushaku). Besoj qe eshte ne rregull mbyllja e tij.
-- A mund te votosh ketu, Wikipedia:Kuvendi#Oljana Maloku.
-- A ka ndonje liste te perafert te kritereve qe nje artikull te kete titullin Artikull i Mire ose Artikull i Perkryer.
-- Sa dite apo muaj eshte afati minimal per pritje qe te votohet pasi nje artikull te jete propozuar per grisje? — Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 11 nëntor 2024 17:00 (CET)

Leutrim.P, po të përgjigjem me radhë për pyetjet që ke shtruar:

1. Po, duhet hapur. Pasi t'i japim një përmbyllje çështjes së librave që mund të shërbejë si portë për të nisur trajtimin e tërë artikujve shumë të shkurtër në përgjithësi. Gjatë kësaj kohe do të punoj paralelisht me filtrat për të parë nëse mund të kryhen ndryshime te to;
2. Po por problemi është se duhet forcuar paraprakisht integriteti i artikujve të mirë e të përkryer ekzistues pasi disa prej tyre mund të kenë nevojë për rivlerësim në atë drejtim. Në SqWiki nuk ekziston koncepti i humbjes së statusve në fjalë siç ekziston në EnWiki dhe mbase kjo gjë është e drejtë pasi fatkeqësisht nuk kemi një komunitet aq dinamik sa ta mbajmë në veprim diçka të tillë. Ama një rivlerësim si rast i jashtëzakonshëm në njëherë në kaq kohë mund të jetë ide e mirë. Kjo mund të shoqërohet dhe me një lajmërim në Kuvend;
3. Ideja në parim nuk është e keqe por unë anoj nga krahu i kundërt personalisht pasi ajo hap një rrugë disi subjektive dhe në shumë raste harxhon energji të dobishme që mund të drejtohet diku tjetër. Do të duhej të mbronim çdo artikull për çdo shtet në botë nga zhvendosjet por kjo nuk ndalon këtu: Pse të mos mbronim dhe qytetet? Po artikuj për krijesa si ujku apo shqiponja që përsëri nuk pritet të ndryshojnë shpesh? Në rreth 20 vite ekzistencë të projektit, shumë rrallë kemi pasur përdorues që kanë kryer zhvendosje me qëllime dashakeqe në projekt. Të mbrojmë mijëra artikuj për një mundësi të vogël duket energji e harxhuar pa shumë dobi të marrë mbrapsht.
4. Nuk ruhen në dy vende të ndryshme. Siç thonë dhe udhëzimet te FG, pasi krijohet fleta e grisjes ajo duhet vendosur dorazi te faqja e forumit. T'i bëhet transclude. Pastaj do të shfaqet automatikisht dhe te dritaret e Kuvendit. Kjo logjikë është aktualisht universale në të gjitha hapësirat e SqWiki-t. Në fillim plotësohet formulari përkatës (qoftë ky për një propozim për administrator, për artikull të përkryer apo për grisje) dhe pastaj formulari në fjalë duhet vendosur te faqja përkatëse dorazi. Mirë do të ishte të kishim një robot që bën këtë hap pasi është hapi më pak intuitiv në procedurë dhe gjithmonë harrohet nga përdoruesit por aktualisht nuk e kemi. Do të pyes në EnWiki së shpejti nëse kanë ata ndonjë robot të tillë dhe si mund ta huazojmë ne;
5. Me sa duket, lidhjet nga dritaret e Kuvendit nuk funksionojnë. Duhet t'i krijosh nga faqet origjinale. Diskutimi në fjalë te Zyra e Ankesave duhet mbyllur e arkivuar. Arkivimi duhet të kishte ndodhur nga roboti Majavah që kemi për këtë punë por për një arsye që nuk e kuptoj, nuk po ndodh. Kam kontakuar me mirëmbajtësin e tij prej disa ditësh tashmë dhe e kam lënë pa lëvizur në mënyrë që të ketë mundësi ta shohë ai si rast për të kuptuar më shumë. Po pres ende përgjigje nga ai;
6. E kam shmangur këtë pasi nuk jam i sigurt si të votoj dhe po të votoja do të isha asnjanës. Nga një anë, nuk jam i sigurt nëse i përmbush kushtet e shquarësisë për të qenë në projekt, nga ana tjetër, artikulli në vetvete nuk duket i keq;
7. Besoj se mund të lexosh AM dhe AP. Po të duash mund të shohësh dhe en:WP:GA? dhe en:WP:FA? për të marrë një ide dhe nga EnWiki;
8. Nuk ka një afat të përcaktuar. Përgjithësisht nuk kemi praktika të mirëkristalizuara që lidhen me FG. Hidhi një sy arkivës së grisjeve të shkuara për të kuptuar si kanë funksionuar rastet e kaluara. (Shiko dhe faqen e dytë të arkivës se për një arsye që nuk e kuptoj, aktualisht shfaqet vetëm një faqe.) Në lidhje me këtë, vura re që kishe grisur disa ridrejtime faqe formularësh të grisjeve të shkuara. Një këshillë e përgjithshme për këtë është që para se të grisen faqe të vjetra, të shikohet cilat faqe lidhen te ato faqe që të mundemi të shpëtojmë sa më shumë lidhje, megjithëse një pjesë e lidhjeve mund të jenë dhe jashtë projektit krejtësisht, për shembull nëse unë do të të dërgoja një lidhje në mesazhe në media sociale. Për këto rastet e fundit shërben më së shumti ruajtja e ridrejtimeve, po kjo zakonisht vlen vetëm në raste faqesh me shumë rëndësi.

-- E paske ndryshuar mendimin ne ate qe pata thene une me heret, se nese kemi artikuj shume te dobet ne shumicen e totalit, sdo te kene ne fakt shume rendesi ne imazhin tone 50 artikuj te mire. S'eshte ide e mire ti rivleresojme njehere sepse standardi eshte i ulet ende ne teresi. (une mendova ta rrisim numrin e tyre te pakten ne 100 te mire dhe 100 te perkryer, por qe nuk ka asnjelloj urgjence njehere).
-- Ne fakt edhe mundemi, sepse jane rreth 200 shtete dhe ato i kane 200 kryeqytete, Gjithesej 400, nuk jane me mijera. Por une e kisha fjalen vetem per shtetet (200 artikuj). Mos t'e pergjithesojme qeshtjen te ujku e shqiponja se ato jane kafshe, nuk po them ti mbrojme te gjithe artikujt. Kjo do e rriste sadopak standardin. Sidoqofte pasi nuk te pelqen si ide, We may agree to disagree. I leme keshtu njehere.
-- Artikujt e mbrojtur nuk e kane nje 'Dry', ne te djathte qe shfaqet ne wikiEN, qe sinjalizon mbrojtjen, perse jo?
-- Do te ishte me mire qe te automatizohej si proces, jo ta humbim kohen me bartjen manuale te teksteve.. Nese eshte e mundur, do beje mire te interesohesh per automatizim, nese eshte opsion.
-- Ne rregull.
-- Do i lexoj te gjitha neser.
-- Nuk ka rendesi thjesht u interesova. Po e kam pare, por po drejtonin ne faqe qe nuk ekzistojne me, prandaj.. Ne rregull. — Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 11 nëntor 2024 23:10 (CET)

Leutrim.P, për AM dhe AP unë sërish mendoj t'i rijetëzojmë si hapësira sa më shpejt të jetë e mundur (duke bërë rivlerësimin e votimin e atyre në pritje) por çështja është se diskutimi i artikujve të librave po shkon drejt një mbylljeje të heshtur pa zgjidhje (siç shkojnë shumë diskutime te Kuvendi kohët e fundit, fatkeqësisht). Duke u nisur nga natyra e punës, nuk është punë që mund t'i ngarkohet një personi të vetëm apo t'i vihen afate (se bëhen fjalë për një rishikim të përgjithshëm të +5000 artikujve) kështu që kemi ngecur pak a shumë në këtë aspekt. Hapja e një diskutimi tjetër paralel në Kuvend, qoftë për artikujt e mirë/të përkyer, qoftë për shqipërimet do ta hollonte akoma më shumë vëmendjen e përgjithshme nëpër diskutime të tilla.
Për sa i përket drynit, kam përshtypjen që ata shtojnë një stampë te secili artikull që mbrojnë, çfarë bën të mundur shfaqjen e tij. Nëse është me të vërtetë kështu (ka kaluar kohë që nga hera e fundit që jam marrë me këtë çështje) ne nuk e kemi aplikuar shumë për shkak të mungesës së një komuniteti dinamik që do të kujdesej për të përditësuar vazhdimisht gjendjen e stampës. Nëse do të ishte automatike do të ishte goxha mirë. Do të shoh dhe për këtë nëse mund të ketë shpresa për automatizim. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 12 nëntor 2024 01:36 (CET)

Artikujt e rinj te perdoruesit Zbulimi, i pranova tashme, kane mbetur dhe redaktimet, ato po i le per ndonje here tjeter kur te kemi kohe. Se duhen edhe ne shqyrtohen ne disa raste dhe ka shume.. — Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 19 nëntor 2024 20:31 (CET)

Si je @Klein Muçi, vërejta një dukuri të çuditshme! Si është e mundur që disa përdorues krejtësisht të rinj të kenë të drejtë vote në Kuvend? Më duket kjo një mënyrë e rrezikshme votimi, sepse dikush mund të hapë disa llogari të reja (10+) dhe të fillojë t’i votojë të gjitha çështjet si i konvenon për ndonjë arsye personale. Në këtë mënyrë, fuqia jonë e votës mund të mbingarkohet me votime kukulla, dhe kështu mund të merren vendime kundër rregullave. Rasti konkret: diskutimi në "Përdorimi i gjuhës shqipe". Përdoruesit F10t2 dhe Etnolinguistike. Shiko faqen e tyre të kontributeve. Ose mbase kjo është diçka që tashmë e keni rregulluar në ndonjë mënyrë.. dhe ndoshta po e ekzagjeroj! — Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 7 dhjetor 2024 23:12 (CET)

Përshëndetje! Jo, është një shqetësim me vend. Historikisht Kuvendi ka qenë i hapur për të gjithë përdoruesit, me apo pa llogari. Faqja u gjysmëmbrojt nga unë më datë 7 dhjetor 2023 si shumë faqe të tjera me rëndësi të lartë në të njëjtën kohë në mënyrë që të redaktohej vetëm nga përdoruesit me llogari. U mendua që problemet që mund të kenë ose çështjet që mund të duan të shtrojnë përdoruesit pa llogari mund të shkruhen te Zyra e Ankesave, që është e hapur për të gjithë. Votimet që mbahen aty, ndryshe nga ato te Administrata, nuk kanë kritere shtesë për pjesëmarrësit dhe kjo për arsye se votimet mund të jenë të llojeve nga më të ndryshmet (përsëri, ndryshe nga ato të Administratës). Çështja e llogarive të shumëfishta apo kukulla, nëse bëhet problem, zakonisht zgjidhet rast pas rasti duke kërkuar një hetim nga m:Checkusers. Për sa i përket përdoruesve që ke përmendur, të paktën përdoruesen Etnolinguistike e njoh personalisht pasi ka ardhur në aktivitetet tona fizike me m:Wikimedians of Albanian Language User Group dhe siç sugjeron dhe emri i saj i përdoruesit, është një studiuese e etnolinguistikës shqipe. Përdoruesja në fjalë ka qenë dhe një nga shtysat kryesore në jetën reale që më nxiti të rihapja këtë diskutim pasi gjatë punëtorive tona po e vinte re si problem çështjen e mungesës së standardit të emrave të përveçëm. Përdoruesin tjetër nuk e njoh por kam bërë një supozim për të te diskutimi në Kuvend si koment ndaj përdoruesit Olsi.

Pra, për ta përmbledhur shkurt, nuk ke ekzagjeruar aspak por sa herë ekzistojnë dyshime për llogari kukulla mund të kërkohet ndihma e kontrolluesve të përdoruesve (Checkusers) dhe problemi zgjidhet në atë mënyrë. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 8 dhjetor 2024 03:12 (CET)

@Olsi, për transparencë dhe barazi në diskutim, e njëjta çështje në lidhje me përdoruesit e përmendur në diskutimin në Kuvend për përshtatjen e emrave shqip është cekur dhe këtu. Mendova se mund të kishe interes. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 8 dhjetor 2024 13:18 (CET)

@Klein Muçi, E mora pergjigjjen pasi e pash diskutimin tuaj ne kuvend per te njejten teme. (Keta dy perdorues vetem i mora si shembull, jo qe po e kontestoj vertetesine e te dhenave apo te tyre si perdorues te rregullte). Flm per pergjigjjen.

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

Updates for editors

• On wikis with the Translate extension enabled, users will notice that the FuzzyBot will now automatically create translated versions of categories used on translated pages. [106]
• View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the submitted task to use the SecurePoll extension for English Wikipedia's special administrator election was resolved on time. [107]

Updates for technical contributors

• In 1.44.0-wmf-2, the logic of Wikibase function getAllStatements changed to behave like getBestStatements. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [108]
• Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.

In depth

• Admins and users of the Wikimedia projects where Automoderator is enabled can now monitor and evaluate important metrics related to Automoderator's actions. This Superset dashboard calculates and aggregates metrics about Automoderator's behaviour on the projects in which it is deployed. Thanks to the Moderator Tools team for this Dashboard; you can visit the documentation page for more information about this work. [109]

Tech News: 2024-49

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

Updates for editors

• Two new parser functions were added this week. The {{#interwikilink}} function adds an interwiki link and the {{#interlanguagelink}} function adds an interlanguage link. These parser functions are useful on wikis where namespaces conflict with interwiki prefixes. For example, links beginning with MOS: on English Wikipedia conflict with the mos language code prefix of Mooré Wikipedia.
• Starting this week, Wikimedia wikis no longer support connections using old RSA-based HTTPS certificates, specifically rsa-2048. This change is to improve security for all users. Some older, unsupported browser or smartphone devices will be unable to connect; Instead, they will display a connectivity error. See the HTTPS Browser Recommendations page for more-detailed information. All modern operating systems and browsers are always able to reach Wikimedia projects. [117]
• Starting December 16, Flow/Structured Discussions pages will be automatically archived and set to read-only at the following wikis: arwiki, cawiki, frwiki, mediawikiwiki, orwiki, wawiki, wawiktionary, wikidatawiki, zhwiki. This is done as part of StructuredDiscussions deprecation work. If you need any assistance to archive your page in advance, please contact Trizek (WMF). [118]
• This month the Chart extension was deployed to production and is now available on Commons and Testwiki. With the security review complete, pilot wiki deployment is expected to start in the first week of December. You can see a working version on Testwiki and read the November project update for more details.
• View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug with the "Download as PDF" system was fixed. [119]

Updates for technical contributors

• In late February, temporary accounts will be rolled out on at least 10 large wikis. This deployment will have a significant effect on the community-maintained code. This is about Toolforge tools, bots, gadgets, and user scripts that use IP address data or that are available for logged-out users. The Trust and Safety Product team wants to identify this code, monitor it, and assist in updating it ahead of the deployment to minimize disruption to workflows. The team asks technical editors and volunteer developers to help identify such tools by adding them to this list. In addition, review the updated documentation to learn how to adjust the tools. Join the discussions on the project talk page or in the dedicated thread on the Wikimedia Community Discord server (in English) for support and to share feedback.

Weekly highlight

• Technical documentation contributors can find updated resources, and new ways to connect with each other and the Wikimedia Technical Documentation Team, at the Documentation hub on MediaWiki.org. This page links to: resources for writing and improving documentation, a new #wikimedia-techdocs IRC channel on libera.chat, a listing of past and upcoming documentation events, and ways to request a documentation consultation or review. If you have any feedback or ideas for improvements to the documentation ecosystem, please contact the Technical Documentation Team.

Updates for editors

Layout change for the Edit Check feature

• Later this week, Edit Check will be relocated to a sidebar on desktop. Edit check is the feature for new editors to help them follow policies and guidelines. This layout change creates space to present people with new Checks that appear while they are typing. The initial results show newcomers encountering Edit Check are 2.2 times more likely to publish a new content edit that includes a reference and is not reverted.
• The Chart extension, which enables editors to create data visualizations, was successfully made available on MediaWiki.org and three pilot wikis (Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedias). You can see a working examples on Testwiki and read the November project update for more details.
• Translators in wikis where the mobile experience of Content Translation is available, can now discover articles in Wikiproject campaigns of their interest from the "All collection" category in the articles suggestion feature. Wikiproject Campaign organizers can use this feature, to help translators to discover articles of interest, by adding the <page-collection> </page-collection> tag to their campaign article list page on Meta-wiki. This will make those articles discoverable in the Content Translation tool. For more detailed information on how to use the tool and tag, please refer to the step-by-step guide. [120]
• The Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, now has a multiselect filter for namespace selection. This enables users to select multiple specific namespaces, instead of only one or all, when fetching pages for deletion.
• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions. Thanks to Chlod and the Moderator Tools team for both of these improvements. [121]
• The Editing Team is working on making it easier to populate citations from archive.org using the Citoid tool, the auto-filled citation generator. They are asking communities to add two parameters preemptively, archiveUrl and archiveDate, within the TemplateData for each citation template using Citoid. You can see an example of a change in a template, and a list of all relevant templates. [122]
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikivoyage in Indonesian (voy:id:) [123]
• Last week, all wikis had problems serving pages to logged-in users and some logged-out users for 30–45 minutes. This was caused by a database problem, and investigation is ongoing. [124]
• View all 19 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug in the Add Link feature has been fixed. Previously, the list of sections which are excluded from Add Link was partially ignored in certain cases. [125][126]

Updates for technical contributors

• Codex, the design system for Wikimedia, now has an early-stage implementation in PHP. It is available for general use in MediaWiki extensions and Toolforge apps through Composer, with use in MediaWiki core coming soon. More information is available in the documentation. Thanks to Doğu for the inspiration and many contributions to the library. [127]
• Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. On December 4, the MediaWiki Interfaces team began rerouting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content endpoints on testwiki from RESTbase to comparable MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The team encourages active users of these endpoints to verify their tool's behavior on testwiki and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket before the end of the year, as they intend to roll out the same change across all Wikimedia projects in early January. These changes are part of the work to replace the outdated RESTBase system.
• The 2024 Developer Satisfaction Survey is seeking the opinions of the Wikimedia developer community. Please take the survey if you have any role in developing software for the Wikimedia ecosystem. The survey is open until 3 January 2025, and has an associated privacy statement.
• There is no new MediaWiki version this week. [128]

Meetings and events

Stampa:Death date and age

Përshëndetje Klein. Vura re që disa artikuj që përdorin këtë stampë shfaqin një gabim pasi përdoret formati i enwiki, ndërsa stampa pret që të përdoret data, muaji, viti, sipas formatit shqiptar. Problemi është që disa artikuj e përdorin si duhet, disa të tjerë e përdorin gabim duke qenë se janë përkthyer nga enwiki. Ndonjë ide si mund ta zgjidhim këtë problem? Olsi (diskutimet) 19 dhjetor 2024 16:03 (CET)

Mendoj që ose të përdorim edhe ne të njëjtin format me enwiki, ose një robot t'i rregullojë stampat dhe t'i kthejë sipas formatit shqiptar, por problemi do vazhdojë edhe në të ardhmen pasi shumë përdorues i përkthejnë artikujt dhe nuk merren me rregullimin e stampave. --Olsi (diskutimet) 19 dhjetor 2024 16:08 (CET)

Olsi, përshëndetje! Problemi me atë stampë është disi kompleks dhe kjo ka qenë arsyeja që kisha disa vite që i shmangesha derisa më kërkuan ndihmë personalisht këtu dhe u detyrova të veproj. Nëse sheh në faqen e diskutimit të stampës në fjalë do të shohësh disa diskutime që janë bërë në EnWiki për këtë gjë. Të sugjeroj t'i lexosh nëse nuk i ke lexuar ende se tregojnë pak a shumë si kemi ardhur në këtë gjendje. Përmbledhja e shkurtër është se moduli që mban tërë infrastrukturën e datave biografike në punë (për lindjet, vdekjet, etj.) nuk është punuar me një përqasje i18n që të lejojë fleksibilitet kur vjen puna te formatet e ndryshme të datave. Moduli i referimeve (CS1) është shumë herë më i arrirë në këtë përqasje, sa për kontrast. Kjo ngurtësi e modulit në fjalë bën që të ketë probleme serioze me datat nëse ndryshohet formati. Pra, nëse shkruajmë datën 10/05/1995 nuk dihet nëse bëhet fjalë për 10 maj 1995 apo 5 tetor 1995. Moduli nuk do të bëjë asnjë verifikim apo të thotë se data është shkruar keq apo që ka ndonjë gabim në të. Thjesht do të paraqesë çfarë është programuar të paraqesë.Te bisedat që unë sugjeroj të shohësh më sipër, do të vësh re se unë kam kërkuar pikërisht që moduli të avancohet për të bërë verifikime shtesë që të akomodojë më mirë formatet e ndryshme dhe të paraqesë më me siguri informacionin e shkruar. Po aty do të shohësh se nuk doli askush vullnetar nga EnWiki për ta bërë këtë gjë përveç një personi që vendosi të ndihmonte duke dhënë një "small hack". Ndryshimi në fjalë bën që të paktën moduli të kërkojë se s'bën që data të shkruhet në formatin dmy dhe po ashtu do të paraqitet. Kjo nuk është një zgjidhje e mirë por mundësia më e lartë për shqipfolësit ishte që ta shkruanin pikërisht ashtu dhe intuitivisht ta presin t'u afishohet po në atë formë e kështu moduli mundohet të kënaqë të paktën shumicën. E kuptoj që kjo mund të sjellë probleme me përkthimet por... Zgjidhja e vetme përfundimtare për çështjen është që EnWiki të ndërtojë një modul më të avancuar teknikisht që funksionon me formate të ndryshme dhe për pasojë paraqet më shumë inteligjencë në kapjen e gabimit me datat. Keqbërjet me apo padashje me shifrat janë nga më të këqijat pasi janë shumë të vështira për t'u kapur si nga vëmendja njerëzore, si nga mekanizmat automatikë. (Kemi pasur para ca kohësh një person që bënte ndryshime të imta vetëm shifrash nëpër artikuj, përgjithësisht data por jo vetëm, me qëllim keqdashës e u deshën disa muaj diskutime për të dizenjuar një filtër redaktimesh vetëm për të kapur e ndaluar veprimet e tij e raste të tjera të ngjashme.) Fatkeqësisht njohuritë e mia në Lua janë tepër të vogla për të përmirësuar personalisht modulin në fjalë. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 20 dhjetor 2024 12:01 (CET)

PS: Gjithashtu infrastruktura e datave biografike në përgjithësi është jo mirë e kristalizuar në EnWiki. Ende ka stampa datash biografike "të pavarura" që nuk ndërlidhen me modulin Age, që e komplikon akoma më shumë mirëmbajtjen (dhe tregon më shumë për faktin se sa mangësi teknike ka ende moduli Age në vetvete). — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 20 dhjetor 2024 12:14 (CET)

Faleminderit për përgjigjen. Dy zgjidhje që më vijnë në mendje për këtë problem, deri sa enwiki të krijojë një modul më të avancuar, janë:

1. Të mos lejohet që muaji të shkruhet me numër, por me emër. Në këtë mënyrë s'do të kemi problemin e ngatërrimit të datës me muajin.

2. T'i marrim datat direkt nga Wikidata dhe t'i shfaqim. Në këtë mënyrë s'do kemi nevojë që as t'i përditësojmë artikujt sa herë vdes dikush. I vetmi problem do jetë për artikujt e rinj që nuk kanë faqe në Wikidata por mund të kontrollojmë që nëse nuk ka informacion në Wikidata, atëherë të shfaqet informacioni i vendosur manualisht nga stampa.

As unë nuk kam ndonjë përvojë me Lua-n dhe nuk e di sa kohë më duhet për të bërë ndryshimet e nevojshme, por besoj se mund të bëhen. Më thuaj çfarë mendon. Olsi (diskutimet) 20 dhjetor 2024 13:57 (CET)

Olsi, unë jam pro përfshirjes së Wikidatës sa më shumë të jetë e mundur por EnWiki na i ka bërë të vështira punët në atë drejtim se është në krahun diametralisht të kundërt e duke qenë se infrastruktura jonë teknike bazohet te ta... Gjithsesi, nëse mund të ndërhysh për përfshirjen e Wikidatës, unë dakord jam. (Thjesht do të vështirësohet ca më shumë mirëmbajtja e përditësimi i modulit në të ardhmen.) Sa për emrin, mund ta provojmë më tutje mendoj, po nuk dha zgjidhje mjaftueshëm të pëlqyeshme pjesa e Wikidatës. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 20 dhjetor 2024 14:20 (CET)

Në rregull, do mundohem të përfshij Wikidata-n atëherë dhe do të të informoj sërish. Olsi (diskutimet) 20 dhjetor 2024 15:29 (CET)

E ndryshova modulin dhe tani të dhënat merren direkt nga Wikidata. Pavarësisht çfarë shkruajnë përdoruesit te stampa, datat merren nga Wikidata dhe në rast se nuk ka informacion nga Wikidata, atëherë përdoren të dhënat e stampës. Problemet nëpër artikuj u rregulluan. Kodi mund të ketë nevojë për përmirësim, por për momentin aq kisha mundësi. Të dhënat merren vetëm për artikujt që kanë stampat Birth date and age dhe Death date and age. Në rast se një person ka vdekur, por nuk ka stampën Death date and age, data e vdekjes nuk shfaqet automatikisht. Për këtë duhet ndërhyrë te infoboxi, por do ta shoh ndonjëherë tjetër, pasi besoj se ka më shumë punë. Olsi (diskutimet) 20 dhjetor 2024 18:32 (CET)

Mendoj se ky mund të quhet përparim. Faleminderit për punën e bërë! :) - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 21 dhjetor 2024 02:47 (CET)
