Frontend voor aanmaak kaartbestanden op Commons[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
Hai, ik was de laatste tijd met GeoJSON bestanden op Commons aan het spelen, en het viel me op dat het maken daarvan iets gebruikelijkersvriendelijker zou kunnen. Ik probeer al een soort handleiding te maken, maar op dit ogenblik moet je nog met Notepad++ in XML bestanden knoeien, en URLs hacken om makkelijk je bestand op de juiste plek op Commons te krijgen. Dat kan denk ik makkelijker. Ik heb wat ideeën over hoe een wizard voor het maken van GeoJSON bestanden er uit zou moeten zien. Iemand ideeën over hoe dit verder aan te pakken? Andere input?

Recent changes
- Web browsers can use tools called extensions. There is now a Chrome extension called Citation Needed which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
- A new Edit Recovery feature has been added to all wikis, available as a user preference. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the project talk page. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.
- Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [1][2]
- Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [3]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (calendar). [4][5]
- New accounts and logged-out users will get the visual editor as their default editor on mobile. This deployment is made at all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. [6]

Problems
- Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Ongedaan gemaakt" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [7][8]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [9][10]
- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [11]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_age
will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [12]
Future changes
- Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
- Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the
abuse_filter
andabuse_filter_history
tables. Some queries might need to be updated. [13]

Vervangen kaart op sjabloon:Infobox weg Nederland N-weg door Maplink[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
Hai, de kaartjes die gebruikt worden worden op {{Infobox weg Nederland N-weg}} zijn png bestanden die gemaakt zijn aan de hand van OpenStreetMap gegevens. De kaartjes zijn vaak niet heel erg up-to-date, en we hebben tegenwoordig de mogelijkheid om kaartgegevens direct uit OSM op te halen met behulp van het sjaboon {{maplink}}. In het geval van de N-wegen in Nederland lijkt het me behoorlijk zeker dat alle wegen een correct werkende link hebben, dus mijn voorstel zou zijn de kaart te vervangen door het maplink-sjabloon. Een voorbeeld even hier. In het voorbeeld zit nu een melding in over een bestand, ([[Bestand:|262px|center|Provinciale weg 223]]) waarvan ik niet helemaal doorheb waar deze vandaan komt, en er zit een kader in dat wellicht weg kan en een uitlijning die misschien iets beter kan. Zou iemand kunnen kijken of dit aan te passen is? Milliped (overleg) 30 apr 2024 19:17 (CEST)
- Ping @Bdijkstra en @Bertux. Milliped (overleg) 30 apr 2024 19:25 (CEST)
- Het komt in ieder geval uit {{Sjabloon:Infobox generiek weg}} waarin dit staat: [[Bestand:{{{kaart}}}|{{#expr:{{{breedte|{{Infobox/breedte}}}}}-8}}px|center|{{{kop1|}}}]] ∼ Wimmel (overleg) 30 apr 2024 19:32 (CEST)
- Inderdaad, het generieke sjabloon verwacht voor de parameter kaart een bestandsnaam. Misschien gewoon een standaard maplink tonen als er maplink=ja is ingevuld? Alle huidige wegen hebben wellicht een correct werkende link, maar er kunnen ook pagina's zijn over voormalige wegen en geplande wegen, en {{Maplink}} toont een lelijke rode foutmelding als er geen gegevens zijn. –bdijkstra (overleg) 30 apr 2024 20:18 (CEST)
- Die rode foutmelding hoeft geen probleem te zijn als je de zaak even voorbereidt buiten de artikelruimte. Je maakt eerst voor alle wegen een afzonderlijk maplink-sjabloon, alles op 1 pagina, zoals hieronder. De foutmeldingen haal je er met de hand uit, van de rest maak je een lijstje dat je aan een bot kunt voeren.
- Bijkomstig:
- De gemaakte lijst kun je meteen gebruiken voor een kaart van alle snelwegen in Nederland. Je kunt 1 overzichtskaart maken door met de zoek- en vervangfunctie de tussendelen
{{maplink|type=map|palin=yes
en}}
te verwijderen. Je houdt dan 1 werkend sjabloon over. Eventueel als apart sjabloon opslaan, analoog aan {{Sjabloon:Maplink stadspoorten van Haarlem}}- {{maplink|frame=yes|plain=yes
- |id=Q99999999|type=line
}}{{maplink|frame=yes|plain=yes- |id-Q9999999999999999|.............
- }}
- →bertux 30 apr 2024 21:41 (CEST)
- @Bdijkstra Ik heb me afgevraagd of dat te ondervangen is door een soort switch als OpenStreetMap-identificatiecode voor relatie (P402) bestaat voor het item op WD, laat dan maplink zien, maar doe niets als P402 leeg is. Dat is niet perfect (ik ben zelf erg slordig met het toevoegen van P402 als ik op OSM iets aanpas), maar ik weet dat het voor bijvoorbeeld de wegen meestens netjes toegevoegd is. Milliped (overleg) 30 apr 2024 22:50 (CEST)
- Nog een paar aanvullende gedachten:
- De foutmelding die je krijgt bij een ontbrekend item lijkt me mee te vallen, je krijgt een leeg wereldkaartje en geen rode letters.
- Ik heb even gekeken met PEtscan, maar ik krijg de query niet helemaal goed, ik zoek naar items met het sjabloon {{Infobox generiek weg}} en OpenStreetMap-identificatiecode voor relatie (P402), maar krijg als ik voor het wikidata item "none" of "no statements" aanvink geen resultaten, terwijl ik met een steekproef wel een paar gevallen ben tegengekomen.
- De gevallen met een missende P402 die ik tot dusver heb gezien vallen in een paar categorieën:
- OSM relatie ID bestaat, maar is nog niet toegevoegd. (redelijk makkelijk te verhelpen)
- OSM relatie bestaat niet, maar zou wel binnen OSM scope vallen (meer werk, maar op te lossen door de OSM relatie te maken
- OSM relatie bestaat niet, maar out of scope voor het OSM project (ben ik eigenlijk nog niet tegengekomen, maar is van toepassing op verdwenen of toekomstige wegen, en wat vage wegdefinities. Hier kan met geojson iets aan gedaan worden. Wel leuk om te doen, maar bewerkelijk.
- Ik heb doordat ik die petscan query nog niet helemaal door wat de aantallen zijn (anders dan dat er op nl-wiki 6416 artikelen zijn die op het sjabloon infobox generiek weg leunen), als iemand daarnaar zou kijken heb ik al wat meer beeld. Milliped (overleg) 2 mei 2024 13:31 (CEST)

- Het lijkt mij het beste als er géén botrun gedaan wordt, maar dat de maplink in Infobox generiek weg zelf wordt ingevoegd en zo automatisch op alle artikelen getoond wordt. Dit reduceert onnodige code in artikelen. Indien in bepaalde artikelen dit nog niet voorhanden is, lijkt het me goed als dat dan voor die artikelen ook opgevraagd kan worden. Met een parameter maplink=nee kan dit in een artikel eventueel uitgeschakeld worden, maar dan alleen bij wijze van uitzondering. Romaine (overleg) 2 mei 2024 13:38 (CEST)
- Mee eens. Het lijkt me dat het percentage artikelen mwaar maplink niet op werkend te krijgen is zo klein is, dat dit haalbaar is. (ik zou wel graag weten welke artiklen dit zijn. Hulp met die Petscan query dus nog steeds welkom). Milliped (overleg) 2 mei 2024 13:47 (CEST)

Early access to the dark mode (mobile web, logged-in)[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
Hi everyone, as announced in November, the Web team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on dark (sometimes also called night) mode. Now, we have released the feature for logged-in users of advanced mobile mode across all wikis for testing purposes. But don't worry, the new feature is not disruptive! (See the "known limitations" section below.) It's just important for us to work together with you before we release this feature to a wider audience. Our goals for the early rollout are to:
- Show what we've built very early. The earlier you are involved, the more your voices will be reflected in the final version
- Get your help with flagging bugs, issues, and requests
- Work with technical editors to adjust various templates and gadgets to the dark mode
Go to the project page and the FAQ page to see more information about the basics of this project.
Known limitations of the initial release
- Currently, dark mode is only available on mobile, for logged-in users who have opted into advanced mode, as an opt-in feature.
- Gadgets may initially not work well with dark mode and may have to be updated.
- Our first goal is making dark mode work on articles. Special pages, talk pages, and other namespaces have not been updated to work in dark mode yet. We have temporarily disabled dark mode on some of these pages.
What we would like you to do (the broad community)
If you have questions - ask us! Also, where appropriate, consider linking to the Recommendations for dark mode compatibility on Wikimedia wikis on pages explaining how to define colors in code. Soon, this page will be marked for translation. We would like to emphasize that the recommendations may evolve. For this reason, we are not suggesting to create your local wiki copies of recommendations. At some point, the copy could become different from the original version.
What we would like you to do (template editors, interface admins, technical editors)
When most bugs are solved, we'll be able to make the dark mode available for readers on both desktop and mobile. To make this happen, we need to work together with you on reporting and solving the problems.
- To turn it on, use the mobile website and go to the settings part of your menu and opt into advanced mode, if you haven't already. Then, set the color to dark. (Later, we will be allowing the device preferences to set dark mode automatically).
- Next, go to different articles and look for issues:
- If you have noticed an issue with a template but do not know how to fix it
- Go to the recommendations page and find a relevant example
- If no relevant example is available or you're not sure of the fix, contact us
- If you want to debug many templates in dark mode
- Go to https://night-mode-checker.wmcloud.org/ and identify templates that need to be fixed. The tool flags the top 100 most read articles.
- Go to the recommendations page and find a relevant example
- If no relevant example is available or you're not sure of the fix, contact us
- If you want to identify problems beyond the top 100 articles.
- Install the WCAG color contrast browser extension (Chrome, Firefox) and visit some articles. Use it to identify problems
- Go to the recommendations page and find relevant examples
- If no relevant example is available or you're not sure of the fix, contact us
- If you have a bug report for dark mode that is not related to templates
- Take a screenshot of what you are observing.
- Contact us. If possible, please write down your browser version and operating system version.
- If you have noticed an issue with a template but do not know how to fix it
Thank you. We're looking forward to your opinions and comments! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (overleg) 10 mei 2024 16:55 (CEST)

Recent changes
- On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word
__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__
to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [38] - If you use the user-preference "Voorvertoning weergeven zonder de pagina opnieuw te laden", then the template-page feature "Voorvertoning weergeven met dit sjabloon" will now also work without reloading the page. [39]
- Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the
alt=
attribute. This is identical in usage to thealt=
attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [40] - The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [41]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (calendar). [42][43]
- The Speciaal:Zoeken results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [44]
Future changes
- In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [45]
- Two columns of the
pagelinks
database table (pl_namespace
andpl_title
) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the newlinktarget
table instead (lt_namespace
andlt_title
). In your existing SQL queries:- Replace
JOIN pagelinks
withJOIN linktarget
andpl_
withlt_
in theON
statement - Below that add
JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
- See phab:T222224 for technical reasoning. [46][47]
