Latest news from the Wikimedia Global Collaboration team, about Map improvements 2018, Notifications, Structured discussions and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

• Collaboration and Language are now going their way separately. Updates about Content Translation are not included in this newsletter anymore. Please refer to the Language report.
• Collaboration has a new project: Map improvements 2018.
  • The team’s engagement with maps is based on 2017 Community Wishlist proposal Kartographer Improvements, though the work won’t be restricted to items named there.
  • The project is currently in its very early research and planning stages.
  • It has a limited term that’s scheduled to conclude at the end of June 2018.

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

• es.wikipedia, es.wikibooks, sv.wikipedia, and simple.wikipedia get ORES predictions on Recent Changes (and on Watchlist through "⧼eri-rcfilters-beta-label⧽" Beta feature). [1][2][3][4]

Problems

• The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed. [5][6]
• On Related changes it was not possible to use Saved filters for several articles. It has been fixed. [7]
• Transclude special:relatedchanges on a subpage removed #contentSub. This is now fixed. [8]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

• The wording when you send a thanks message has changed. Instead of Ja or Nee it says Bedanken and Annuleren. It is also now easier to understand that all thanks are public. [9]
• A notification is now sent to account owner on multiple unsuccessful login attempts. [10]

Problems

• Between week 7 and 20 February, when you thanked someone for an edit, the thank went to the latest unthanked edit to that page. It didn't matter which edit you tried to give thanks for. This has been fixed. [11]
• Long page titles on Special:Notifications were not truncated. This is now fixed. [12]

Structured discussions [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

• You can now press CTRL + ENTER to post a new message. [13]

Beoordelingsnominatie Lijst van Nederlandse artiesten

Een Wikipedia-gebruiker heeft één of meer artikelen die u hebt gestart of waar u aan hebt gewerkt genomineerd voor beoordeling. Dit betekent dat deze gebruiker het artikel op dit moment niet geschikt acht voor Wikipedia. Het gaat om Lijst van Nederlandse artiesten dat is genomineerd door Wikiwerner. De reden hiervoor staat op Wikipedia:Te beoordelen pagina's/Toegevoegd 20180318 en dat is ook de plek waar u kunt reageren op de nominatie. Wellicht hebt u er iets aan om de conventies door te lezen; daar kunt u zien hoe een artikel eruit hoort te zien. Zie ook Help:Waarom staat mijn artikel op de beoordelingslijst. Mocht het artikel na 2 weken als niet voldoende worden beoordeeld, dan zal het worden verwijderd.

N.B. dit is een automatisch bericht geplaatst door een bot. Ik heb niets met de nominatie te maken en kan er niets aan doen. Als u vragen hebt, kunt u die het beste stellen aan de gebruiker die het artikel genomineerd heeft. --Nlwikibots (overleg) 19 mrt 2018 01:08 (CET)

Collaboration products newsletter: 2018-03

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Map improvements 2018, Notifications, Structured discussions and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

The Collaboration team has announced the start of a new project: In-Context Help and Onboarding. The idea is to improve retention of new wiki editors by giving them short tutorials and other training experiences related to, and triggered by, their current activities on the wikis (that’s the “in context” part). The project follows from the conclusions of the New Editor Experiences research. The work is in its very early stages, but we’d like to hear from people with ideas on the subject—particularly if you have experience supporting or training new contributors.

Map improvements 2018 [More information]

• Maps using Maplink and Mapframe functions now include an extra zoom level (level 19). This is part of the Kartographer Improvements, the number one request of the 2017 Community Wishlist survey. [15]

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

• Number of edit to show in recent changes information text was incorrect in Special:Preferences. It has been rephrased. [16]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. That new feature has been documented. [17]
• Preferences panel on Special:Notifications was overlapping other elements. This has been fixed. [18]

Future changes

• An important work is under progress to allow thanks of log entry. This is done by the Community Tech team. [19]

Structured discussions [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

• Structured Discussions extension has been uninstalled from wikis not using it. However, it is still possible for a community to request a trial of Structured discussions. [20]

Problems

• It was not possible to opt-in and opt-out Structured discussions on wikis using it as a Beta feature. It is now fixed. [21]

Future changes

• The visual editor and 2017 wikitext editor interface is going to change for consistency. The toolbar, dialogs and menus will appear slightly bigger; some icons will look different. Content or functionality will not change. That change will apply to Structured Discussions as well. [22]
