Herbevestiging moderatorschap april 2016

Beste MrBlueSky,

Op vrijdag 15 april 2016 om 00.01 uur (CEST) begint de eerste ronde van de jaarlijkse herbevestigingsprocedure voor het moderatorschap. Bij deze herbevestiging zal ook jouw moderatorschap worden geëvalueerd. Op deze pagina wordt de eerste ronde gehouden en daar staat ook de gang van zaken uitgelegd. Je kunt op die pagina (hier) desgewenst een verklaring plaatsen. Mocht je het moderatorschap (vrijwillig) willen inleveren, dan kan dat natuurlijk op elk moment door een verzoek te doen op deze pagina op Meta. Laat het me gerust weten als je hierover vragen hebt.

Veel succes toegewenst!

Met vriendelijke groet, DirkVE overleg 13 apr 2016 07:17 (CEST)

Problems

• Wikimedia tested a new data center last week. This meant that the wikis could be read but not edited for 45 minutes on April 19 and for 20 minutes on April 21. [17]
• When the data center was tested, new edits were not shown in the recent changes log for 20 minutes. They are in the logs now. You can read more about how to find the edits.
• Unread notifications were sometimes counted incorrectly. This has now been fixed. [18]

Changes this week

• Wikimedia Commons will have better access to Wikidata. They can use data from any page on Wikidata on any page on Commons. This will happen on April 26. [19]
• It will be easier to choose if you want to watch files you have uploaded with the upload wizard. [20]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from April 26. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from April 27. It will be on all wikis from April 28 (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on April 26 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The "Pagina opslaan" button when you edit will be called "Publish" instead. This is to help new editors understand what it does. It already works like this on some wikis. [21]
