Tech News: 2021-02

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Je kunt je voorkeuren zo instellen dat het ontbreken van een bewerkingssamenvatting tot een melding leidt. Dit kon conflicteren met de captcha die sommige gebruikers onder bepaalde omstandigheden moeten invullen. Dit probleem is nu verholpen. [1]
• Via de tijdsaanduiding van een gebeurtenis in Speciaal:Logboeken kon een link worden verkregen naar die specifieke gebeurtenis. Die link liet voorheen in geval van niet-publieke gebeurtenissen geen gebeurtenis zien ongeacht of de gebruiker de benodigde rechten had. Dit probleem is nu verholpen. [2]
• Moderators kunnen het misbruikfilter gebruiken om automatisch slechte bewerkingen te voorkomen. Drie wijzigingen zijn vorige week doorgevoerd:
  • De bewerkingsinterface voor het wijzigen van filters laat nu syntax errors zien tijdens het typen, vergelijkbaar met JavaScript pagina's. Je krijgt ook een waarschuwing te zien voor reguliere expressies die matchen met een lege string. Meer waarschuwingen zullen later toegevoegd worden. [3]
  • Oversighters kunnen nu meerdere gelogde gebeurtenissen verbergen met vinkjes in Speciaal:AbuseLog, vergelijkbaar met hoe reguliere verwijdering van revisies werkt. [4]
  • Als een filter teveel acties stopt na een filterwijzinging zal het filter automatisch worden beperkt. De meest ingrijpende acties worden dan uitgeschakeld om te voorkomen dat een grote groep bewerkers per ongeluk kan worden geblokkeerd wanneer een moderator een fout heeft gemaakt. In dit geval krijgt de gebruiker nu een melding.
• Er is een nieuwe tool om interfacethema's te maken. Je kan ook bestaande thema's bekijken en feedback geven. [5]
• Bots die de API gebruiken zetten niet langer automatisch pagina's op hun volglijst op basis van hun accountvoorkeuren. Het opgeven van de waarde watch voor watchlist werkt wel zoals normaal. Dit is gedaan om het formaat van volglijstdata in de database te beperken. [6]
• Scribunto's bestandsmetadata omvat nu ook lengte. [7]
• Pagina's met CSS of JavaScript code kunnen nu gelinkt worden naar een specifiek regelnummer, bijvoorbeeld regel 50 van Common.js op de Nederlandse Wikipedia. [8]
• Er was een nieuwe versie van MediaWiki vorige week. Je kan een log met alle 763 wijzigingen bekijken. De meeste wijzigingen zijn klein en hebben geen direct merkbare invloed.

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 12 januari uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 13 januari uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedias en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 14 januari zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden.

Tech News: 2021-03

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 19 januari uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 20 januari uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedias en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 21 januari zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• Het Growth team is van plan om features toe te voegen die meer nieuwkomers moeten aanmoedigen om actief bij te dragen aan Wikipedia's. Je kan helpen door de interface te vertalen.
• Wikimedia Commons kan tijdelijk niet bewerkt worden op 26 januari vanaf 07:00 (UTC) vanwege onderhoud. [9]
• MassMessage posts kunnen automatisch een datum meekrijgen in de toekomst omdat degenen die MassMessages versturen nu ook pagina's kunnen versturen met een MassMessage. Pagina's zijn lastiger te ondertekenen, zodoende. Als er zich een situatie voordoet waarin een MassMessage post geen datum moet meekrijgen kan je dit de ontwikkelaars laten weten.

taal in Sjabloon:Chemref

Dag Romaine,

ik merkte daarnet bij het collationeren van het net aangemaakte artikel Bariumorthotitanaat dat in het Sjabloon:Chemref geen taal kan worden vermeld. Nu ben jij daar vrij bedreven in; mag ik jou vragen om aan dat sjabloon het veld 'taal' toe te voegen? Dank, Erik Wannee (overleg) 18 jan 2021 17:35 (CET)

Nog niet eerder tijd voor gehad en me ontschoten. Toegevoegd - Romaine (overleg) 8 feb 2021 08:20 (CET)

Merci! Erik Wannee (overleg) 8 feb 2021 09:57 (CET)

Reageerfunctie

Afrondingspercentages voor commentaar gemaakt met de reageerfunctie en de hele pagina wikitekstbewerking. Details en beperkingen staan in dit rapport.

De reageerfunctie is beschikbaar op bijna alle Wikpedias.

• De reageerfunctie is beschikbaar als opt-out voorkeur voor alle bewerkers op de Arabische, Tsjechische en Hongaarse Wikipedias.
• Het is ook beschikbaar als een Beta Feature op bijna alle Wikipedias, behalve voor de Engels-, Russisch- en Duitstalige Wikipedias. Als het niet op jouw wiki beschikbaar is, dan kun je het aanvragen door deze simpele instructies te volgen.

Onderzoeksartikelen:

• Tot januari 2021 hebben meer dan 3.500 b bewerkers de reageerfunctie gebruikt om bij elkaar 70.000 commentaren te posten.
• We hebben voorlopige gegevens van de Arabische, Tsjechische en Hongaarse Wikipedia over de reageerfunctie. Junior bewerkers die de reageerfunctie gebruiken maken vaker een commentaar af dat ze begonnen zijn te schrijven dan degenen die de hele pagina wikitekst bewerken.[10]
• De Editing en Parsing teams hebben het aantal bewerkingen dat andere delen van de pagina beïnvloeden significant verminderd. Ongeveer 0,3% van de bewerkingen deed dat in de afgelopen maand.[11] Sommige van de overgebleven veranderingen zijn automatische correcties voor Special:LintErrors.
• De grote A/B test start binnenkort.[12] Dit is onderdeel van het proces om de reageerfunctie aan iedereen aan te bieden. Gedurende deze test is voor de helft van de bewerkers op 24 Wikipedias de reageerfuncties automatisch beschikbaar, en voor de andere helft niet. Jij kunt het nog steeds voor je eigen account aanzetten bij de Special:voorkeuren.

Functie voor nieuwe discussies

Schermprint van versie 1.0 van de functie voor nieuw disccusie prototype.

De nieuwe functie voor het starten van een nieuwe functie (nieuwe secties) zal samenkomen met de reageerfunctie in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures tegen het eind van januari. Je kan de nieuwe functie voor jezelf uitproberen.[13] Je kunt feedback achterlaten in dit draadje of op de overlegpagina.

Vervolgens: Meldingen

Gedurende Overlegpagina consultatie 2019, zeiden bewerkers dat het eenvoudiger moest zijn om te weten wanneer er nieuwe activiteit is in conversaties die ze volgen. Het meldingenproject is net gestart. Wat zou je helpen om bewust te worden van nieuw commentaar? Wat werkt met het huidige systeem? Welke pagina's op jouw wiki zou het team moeten bekijken? Geef je advies op de meldingenoverlegpagina.

Tech News: 2021-05

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Problemen en onderhoud

• IPv6 addressen in diffs gebruikten kleine letters in plaats van hoofdletters waardoor links in Speciaal:Bijdragen niet werkten. Dit is nu verholpen. [17]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• Je kan binnenkort links naar pagina's op de taalneutrale versie van Wikisource toevoegen aan Wikidata items. [18]
• Wikimedianen gebruiken nogal eens een "non-breaking space" ( ) om twee dingen van elkaar los te maken zonder dat ze door een nieuwe regel worden opgebroken. Je kan dit karakter nu toevoegen via "Speciale tekens" in de 2010 editor, 2017 editor en de visuele tekstverwerker. In de visuele tekstverwerker zal het karakter worden weergegeven als een spatie met een grijze achtergrond. [19][20]
• Wiki's gebruiken misbruikfilters om slechte bewerkingen tegen te gaan. Bij het bewerken van een filter (alleen moderatoren) kan nu voor IP ranges zowel de syntax 1.2.3.4 - 1.2.3.55 als 1.2.3.4/27 gebruikt worden. [21]
• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 2 februari uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 3 februari uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedias en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 4 februari zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• Minerva is het thema dat Wikimedia wiki's gebruiken voor de mobiele versie van de site. Als een pagina beveiligd is en niet bewerkt kan worden dan kan je normaal wel de wikitext bekijken, maar dit werkt niet naar verwachting met Minerva. Op de Engelse Wikipedia is nu een "brontekst bekijken" link toegevoegd aan de zwarte "toast" melding die je ziet wanneer je probeert om een beveiligde pagina te bewerken. Een ander probleem is dat MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext op een aantal wiki's HTML gebruikt die niet goed kan worden weergegeven op veel mobiele apparaten waardoor overlappende tekst ontstaat. Als jouw wiki in de lijst van dit Wikidata item staat, controleer dan of de wikitext "position:relative" bevat en start een lokale discussie als dit het geval is. Geen van de Nederlandstalige projecten is hierdoor getroffen. Meer informatie is beschikbaar. [22][23]
• Cloud VPS en Toolforge krijgen op 8 februari een nieuw IP dat ze zullen gebruiken om verbinding te maken met wiki's. Het nieuwe IP adres is 185.15.56.1. Verder lezen.

Hello and Happy New Year!

Hello Romaine, I hope that you and your people are doing fine in spite of this terrible epidemic. I wish you all a happy new year and may 2021 be much better than 2020 for everyone. I write you this message because the Catalan Wikipedia is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary and I am in charge of collecting short videos (15 seconds) of diverse wikipedians saying something (what you deem nice/better) in their native language and ending with "Bon aniversari" and/or "Per molts anys" in Catalan. I hope I can count on you, we usually have more male wikipedians and if you know of other people, I will be grateful. If you are interested I will tell you more later! Take real care and have a great Sunday! Claudi/Capsot (overleg) 7 feb 2021 11:11 (CET)

Tech News: 2021-06

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Volglijsten en overlegpagina's zijn nu beschikbaar in de Wikipedia app voor Android. [24]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• Je kan nieuwe bewerkingen bijhouden door pagina's op je volglijst te zetten. Volglijsten zijn individueel voor iedere wiki. Op 11 februari komt de GlobalWatchlist naar Meta-wiki met de mogelijkheid om de bewerkingen van tot 5 verschillende wiki's bij te houden op één pagina. Deze globale volglijst zal beschikbaar zijn via Special:GlobalWatchlist op Meta-wiki. De instellingen voor de globale volglijst kunnen aangepast worden via Special:GlobalWatchlistSettings, eveneens op Meta-wiki. [25]
• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 9 februari uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 10 februari uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedias en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 11 februari zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• Het formulier voor het instellen van paginabeveiliging zal de OOUI look-and-feel gebruiken. Special:Import krijgt ook de nieuwe look. Deze pagina's zullen hierdoor makkelijker in gebruik zijn op mobiele apparaten. [26][27]
• Wegens databaseonderhoud zijn een aantal diensten tijdelijk niet beschikbaar op 17 februari vanaf 07:00 UTC. Er kunnen problemen optreden met nieuwe compacte links, nieuwe vertalingen, nieuwe meldingen, het toevoegen van nieuwe items aan leeslijsten en het vastleggen van automatisch teruggezonden email die niet kon worden afgeleverd. [28]
• Vorige week stond in Tech News dat het IP adres van Cloud VPS en Toolforge dat deze diensten gebruiken om verbinding te maken met wiki's zal veranderen op 8 februari. Dit is uitgesteld. [29]

Sjabloon in sjabloon

Goedenavond Romaine,

Ik zou graag dit sjabloon aan dit sjabloon willen toevoegen. Mocht ik ze willen gebruiken dan moeten op sommige pagina's beide sjablonen worden toegevoegd. Nu zie ik dat graag anders door het samenvoegen van beide sjablonen maar het (afgebroken) sjabloon inklapbaar onder het hoofdsjabloon. Is dit mogelijk? Zpja, dan hoor of zie ik dat graag. SCPEC1910_overleg 10 feb 2021 20:04 (CET)

Hi SCPEC1910, Ik heb ze nu in elkaar gevoegd. Je vraagt om het afgebroken seizoen inklapbaar te maken, maar inklappen doen we pas na een veelvoud van aantal sjabloonregels. Vier is wat dat betreft niet genoeg. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 12 feb 2021 09:21 (CET)

Onderzoek

Hallo, Romaine, Ik zag op iemands OP dat er in 2015 een onderzoek van Motivaction is geweest naar WP. Zijn de resultaten en conclusies daaruit openbaar? Waar kan ik deze dan vinden? Heeft het tot een concrete actie geleid, dan wel meetbare resultaten? Je mag e.e.a. mij evt. ook mailen. Ben zeer benieuwd. --Theo Oppewal (overleg) 12 feb 2021 09:05 (CET)

Hi Theo Oppewal, Voor zover ik weet is het openbaar. Op wmnl:Motivaction survey 2013 staat de survey van 2013 en op wmnl:Stakeholderonderzoek staat het onderzoek uit 2015. Op de pagina's staan de resultaten gelinkt. Ik heb er weinig concreets uit zien komen, maar ik heb het verder ook niet gevolgd. Mogelijk zijn er ook dingen veranderd, maar daar heb ik dan geen zicht op. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 12 feb 2021 09:15 (CET)

Dank voor de linkjes. Ik zal er eens induiken. Maar nu al zag ik in het vergaderverslag achter de zevende bullet dat gebruikers naar expertise aandacht behoefde in 2013. Ik heb onlangs nog een topic geopend op een OP daarover. Misschien dat je er nog wilt bijdragen vanuit jouw kennis hierover: Overleg_Wikipedia:Wikipedianen_naar_expertise#Verwijderen_van_de_lijst_/_deleten_van_de_hele_pagina. Hartelijke groet, --Theo Oppewal (overleg) 12 feb 2021 10:41 (CET)

Op de verenigingswiki staan ze alle drie (er is nl ook een 2018 onderzoek) samen in een categorie: wmnl:Categorie:Survey. Er komt er dit jaar als het goed is weer eentje aan, dus wil je graag iets nieuws weten (of misschien een vraag uit een eerder jaar herhalen?), laat het WMNL weten! Ciell need me? ping me! 21 feb 2021 00:25 (CET)

Dank voor je bijdrage aldaar! --Theo Oppewal (overleg) 20 feb 2021 22:58 (CET)

Corpus

Corpus is een dp en ik heb op de dp gekeken naar wat bedoeld werd en aangezien het gaat over het lichaam van Jezus op het kruis heb ik daar naar gelinkt. Ja dat is nu nog een rode link maar wel de juiste betekenis. Themanwithnowifi (overleg) 14 feb 2021 10:36 (CET)

Ik zie mijn fout al, kruisbeeld stond op het einde van de regel naar waar ik wilde linken. Themanwithnowifi (overleg) 14 feb 2021 10:38 (CET)

Mmm, das raar, ik had op corpus gezocht en zag geen artikel met de zoekfunctie. Nu blijkt er wel al langer een dp te bestaan. Een rode link is niet erg, dank voor het oplossen! :-) Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 14 feb 2021 10:41 (CET)

Wikidata weekly summary #455

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

• Discussions
  • Other: Tool ideas/ImproveWikidata

• Events
  • Past: Linked Open Storytelling - Winter School 2021 - Fellow-Programm Freies Wissen (in German) (reply on YouTube)
  • Upcoming: SPARQL queries live on Twitch and in French by Vigneron, February 16 at 18:00 CET
  • Upcoming: Bug triage hour about Lexemes, February 16
  • Upcoming video: LIVE Wikidata editing #32 - YouTube, Facebook, February 20
  • Upcoming: Online Wikidata meetup in Swedish #50, February 21

• Press, articles, blog posts, videos
  • Blog post: The promise of Wikidata: How journalists can use the crowdsourced open knowledge base as a data source, by Monika Sengul-Jones
  • Blog post: Data donation to Wikidata, part 2: country/subject dossiers of the 20th Century Press Archives (by Joachim Neubert, ZBW Labs)
  • Blog post: Bibliography and Citations of Hausa Folklore by Anasskoko
  • Video: Querying Linked (Wiki)data with SPARQL ✨ (presentation by Lucas Werkmeister at rC3, 90 minutes)
  • Video: Wikidata editing #31 Free Software Day - YouTube, Facebook
  • Video: Knowledge Graphs for AI: Wikidata and beyond - YouTube

• Tool of the week
  • UseAsRef script allows you to add references to statements using one external ID as source (see User:Bargioni/UseAsRef and this YouTube video for more information)

• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Abstract Wikipedia presents prototypes of two tools that could help people to visualize, exemplify, and better guide our understanding of the coverage of lexicographic data in Wikidata.
  • Public Domain Tool, developed by the Flemish Institute for Archives automates the process of determining whether their collection items could be in the public domain.
  • Sizes of country items (like "Portugal" (Q45)) were recently reduced by 30% to 50% by moving a few economics properties to "economy of"-items (sample: "economy of Portugal" (Q1649355)). The item "economy of Portugal" is currently larger than "Portugal". This can simplify uses of country items that previously timed-out. Infoboxes can still access the properties with the link through "economy of topic" (P8744).
  • Later this week, the development team will enable a rate limit for assigning new item IDs. Bots and users who successfully create items should notice no change, since the rate limit is equal to the existing limit on all edits. However, bots that often fail to create items may start to see different error messages than usual. This will hopefully reduce the problem of skipped item IDs.
  • Guidelines and compensation for UX research lead by Wikimedia Germany (announcement)

• Did you know?
  • Newest properties:
    • General datatypes: service status information URL, first family name in Portuguese name, time played, coordinates of depicted place
    • External identifiers: CompositionToday composers showcase ID, Royal Museums Greenwich artwork ID, Saint Louis Art Museum artwork ID, AZLyrics.com song ID, Studio di Fonologia Musicale RAI person ID, WreckSite ID, SOUNZ contributor ID, Doktori.hu ID, Portal da Literatura ID, IPHAE ID, Play:Right ID, National Portrait Gallery (London) artwork ID, Xinjiang Data Project identifier, CITWF title ID, Union Catalog of Armenian Continuing Resources ID, Saxony-Anhalt cultural heritage object ID, FloGrappling ID, Can I use feature ID
  • New property proposals to review:
    • General datatypes: National Gallery of Art Library Bibliographic ID, letterer, set during recurring event, number of references, sensors, Applying institution
    • External identifiers: Lexikon Literatur in Tirol, Danmarks Adresseregister named street ID, Baidu Baike ID (2), Kickstarter username, Protagonisti della storia delle scienze della mente ID, Curling.fi player ID, RILM ID, Swiss vote ID, svoyak.info player ID, Germanistenverzeichnis, Svenska Institutet i Rom ID, CinemaRx title ID, Sinemalar title ID, English Placenames MADS ID, Armenian Book ID, identifiant inventaire Occitanie, AaRC title ID, Biblioteca Iglesia Nacional Española en Roma ID, BFS ID, Dizionario biografico online degli anarchici italiani ID, JedeSchule.de ID, bashenc.online ID, Svoya Igra television player ID, Wisconsin Architecture and History Inventory ID

  • Fixing the bug where the Property selector is not falling back from language variant to major language for Property labels (phab:T272712)
  • Adding a rate limit for creating Item IDs to avoid skipping so many due to misbehaving bots (phab:T272032)
  • Fixed the case where no error was shown when trying to save a lemma with an invalid language code (phab:T265783)
  • Fixed a but where merging two Lexemes fails if the source Lexeme has links to its own Senses (phab:T273830)
  • Increasing the rate of edits that trigger a check by the constraint checker to 50%. This will increase the number of constraints violations that you can query in the Query Service. (phab:T204031)
  • Making it possible to add interwiki links to/from Multilingual Wikisource (phab:T138332)

Tech News: 2021-07

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Problemen en onderhoud

• Omdat recente versies van MediaWiki problemen veroorzaakten hebben de ontwikkelaars MediaWiki teruggedraaid naar een oude versie. Een aantal updates en nieuwe functies arriveren daardoor later dan verwacht. [31][32]
• Wegens databaseonderhoud zijn een aantal diensten tijdelijk niet beschikbaar op 17 februari vanaf 07:00 UTC. Er kunnen problemen optreden met nieuwe compacte links, nieuwe vertalingen, nieuwe meldingen, het toevoegen van nieuwe items aan leeslijsten en het vastleggen van automatisch teruggezonden email die niet kon worden afgeleverd. [33]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 16 februari uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 17 februari uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedias en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 18 februari zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden.

Tech News: 2021-08

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• De Visuele tekstverwerker gebruikt nu MediaSearch om afbeeldingen op Commons te vinden voor gebruik in artikelen. [35]
• De syntax highlighter werkt nu met meer talen: Futhark, Graphviz/DOT, CDDL en AMDGPU. [36]

Problemen en onderhoud

• Het bewerken van een tijdlijn (wikitekst die resulteert in een afbeelding van een tijdlijn) kan resulteren in het verdwijnen van alle tekst op de tijdlijn. Dit probleem is verholpen, maar je moet tijdlijnen waarvan de tekst mist mogelijk nogmaals bewerken om de weergave weer goed te krijgen. [37]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 23 februari uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 24 februari uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedias en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 25 februari zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• Er is een gebruikersgroep voor ontwikkelaars en gebruikers die interesse hebben in het werken met de Rust programmeertaal op Wikimedia wikis. Je kan je aanmelden of anderen vertellen wie jouw wiki wil verbeteren.

foto's met onbekend adres

Beste Romaine, er zijn 6 foto's met Voordijk 2, Waarder als adres. Deze straat is voor zover ik weet niet in Waarder, Reeuwijk, Bodegraven. Ik heb bij straten op Wikidata gezocht en op https://kadastralekaart.com/woonplaatsen. Weet jij in welke category ik ze kan zetten? Mvg Agaath (overleg) 26 feb 2021 19:19 (CET)

Hi Agaath, In zo'n geval zou ik in De kroeg een bericht plaatsen met de vraag wie dit raadsel weet op te lossen (met de foto's erbij). We hebben goede zoekers en die lukt het vaak om dit soort raadsels op te lossen. Dat werkt overigens veel beter dan het plaatsen van foto's in een onbekende-plaats-categorie op Commons.

Op Commons zouden dergelijke foto's geplaatst kunnen worden in c:Category:Unidentified locations in the Netherlands. Maar dan gebeurt er niks mee en ik denk dat beter is als het raadsel wordt opgelost. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 4 mrt 2021 14:48 (CET)

Tech News: 2021-09

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Wiki's die de Growth team tools gebruiken kunnen nu de naam van de mentor van een nieuwkomer laten zien met een variabele. Dit kan gebruikt worden in bijvoorbeeld welkomstberichten of gebruikersboxen.
• A new version of the VideoCutTool is now available. It enables cropping, trimming, audio disabling, and rotating video content. It is being created as part of the developer outreach programs.

Problemen en onderhoud

• Er was een probleem met de wachtrij voor opdrachten (job queue) waardoor sommige functies geen aanpassingen opsloegen en MassMessage berichten vertraging opliepen. Dit had geen invloed op bewerkingen op wiki's. [38]
• Some editors may not be logged in to their accounts automatically in the latest versions of Firefox and Safari. [39]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 2 maart uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 3 maart uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 4 maart zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden.

Tech News: 2021-10

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Sectievertaling werkt nu op de Bengaalse Wikipedia waardoor het voor mobiele gebruikers makkelijker is om secties te vertalen. Deze feature komt later naar andere wiki's waarbij de focus initieel ligt op actieve wiki's met een beperkt aantal artikelen. Je kan het uittesten en feedback achterlaten.
• Flagged revisions geven moderators nu het review-recht. [41]
• Wanneer iemand naar een Wikipedia artikel linkt op Twitter is daarbij nu een voorbeeldweergave te zien. [42]

Problemen en onderhoud

• Vele grafieken hebben JavaScript-fouten. Bewerkers van grafieken kunnen hun werk controleren in de developer console van hun browser na het bewerken. [43]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 9 maart uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 10 maart uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 11 maart zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)
• De Nieuwe Discussietool zal binnenkort op de meeste Wikipedia's als bètafunctie opgenomen worden bij de discussietools. Het doel is om het eenvoudiger te maken om nieuwe discussies te starten. [44]

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• Er komen een aantal veranderingen om het eenvoudiger te maken om met sjablonen te werken. Een deel hiervan komt in maart op de eerste wiki's. Verdere veranderingen arriveren in juni op de eerste wiki's. Deze veranderingen zijn zowel voor mensen die sjablonen gebruiken als degenen die sjablonen aanmaken en bewerken. Verder lezen.
• Reference Previews worden op 17 maart een standaardfeature op sommige wiki's. Ze zullen een instelling delen met Page Previews. Als je de voorkeur geeft aan de Reference Tooltips of Navigation-Popups gadget dan kan je die blijven gebruiken. In dat geval zullen de Reference Previews niet worden weergegeven. [45][46]
• Nieuwe JavaScript-gebaseerde functies zullen niet werken in Internet Explorer 11 omdat deze browser te oud is om JavaScript uit te voeren die is geschreven naar de huidige normen. Alles wat vandaag werkt in IE11 zal voorlopig blijven werken. Verder lezen.

Vestingwerken van Valkenburg

Dag Romaine, ik vind het commentaar bij je recente actie ongefundeerd. We verschillen van mening over een lay-out detail; meer is het niet. Dat mijn etalageartikelen dan maar aangepast moet worden, vind ik nog wel het zwakste punt in je argumentatie. Die hebben nog niet zo lang geleden een uiterst grondige review ondergaan. Zo ongeveer elke zin is daarbij gewogen, maar met de bronnotatie had niemand problemen. We hebben het hier al eerder over gehad en ik heb toen voorgesteld dat ik 'jouw' artikelen met rust laat en jij de 'mijne'. Je hebt daar toen niet op gereageerd, als ik me goed herinner. Kunnen we dit gewoon afspreken? Groet, kleon3 (overleg) 11 mrt 2021 21:47 (CET)

Je commentaar in je bewerkingssamenvatting is ongefundeerd. Je beroepen op dat het elders zo toegestaan wordt is hier geen onderbouwing, en al helemaal niet de Etalage omdat daar naar de inhoud van artikelen wordt gekeken (door slechts een handjevol gebruikers) en niet naar welk percentage de referenties worden weergegeven. Blijkbaar is jouw smaak belangrijker dan of andere mensen de tekst kunnen lezen. De suggestie van "jouw artikelen" is absurd en strijdig met de basisbeginselen van Wikipedia. Romaine (overleg) 12 mrt 2021 10:17 (CET)

Huda Sha'arawi was geen journalist

Beste Romaine, In de mobiele weergave van het artikel Huda Sha'arawi staat dat zij journaliste was. Zij had veel kwalificaties, maar journalist hoort daar niet bij en dat woord komt in het artikel dan ook niet voor. Zij schreef wel artikelen in het blad L'Égyptienne van de door haar opgerichte Egyptische Feministische Unie, maar dat maakt haar geen journalist, hooguit publicist. De informatie blijkt automatisch van Wikidata te worden overgenomen. Daar werd als referentie de Perzische Wikipedia opgegeven. Ik heb geprobeerd (zonder me eerst in de mogelijkheden te verdiepen, mijn excuses) om de informatie te verwijderen, maar ik bleek alleen de referentie verwijderd te hebben. Kun jij me helpen deze foutieve informatie te verwijderen? Met vriendelijke groet, Sylhouet _contact 15 mrt 2021 11:47 (CET)

Hi Sylhouet, Zo te zien heb je met deze bewerking het beroep journalist weggehaald. Dat is de metadata, maar in de omschrijving stond nog dat ze journalist was. Dat heeft iemand anders aangepast. De omschrijving wordt ook in de mobiele versie gebruikt, maar heeft an sich als doel om duidelijk onderscheid te maken tussen verschillende onderwerpen met dezelfde naam en onderwerpen in het algemeen. Er zijn wel bots die een lege beschrijving invullen op basis van de metadata, maar als uit de metadata een gegeven verwijderd wordt wordt dat niet automatisch aangepast, alleen handmatig dus. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 26 mrt 2021 19:01 (CET)

Het probleem is opgelost! Dank voor je bericht en mijn waardering voor al het goede dat je hier (=Wiki.... in al zijn geledingen) doet. Sylhouet _contact 26 mrt 2021 19:55 (CET)

Tech News: 2021-11

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Wiki's die deel uitmaken van het desktopverbeteringen project kunnen nu gebruik maken van een nieuwe zoekfunctie. De desktopverbeteringen en nieuwe zoekfunctie komen later op meer wiki's beschikbaar. Je kan het ook eerder testen.
• Gebruikers die banners instellen of site-brede JavaScript code aanpassen zouden client error graph moeten gebruiken om te zien of hun veranderingen geen problemen veroorzaken. Verder lezen. [47]

Problemen en onderhoud

• Door databaseproblemen was de Wikimedia Betacluster voor ruim een dag alleen-lezen.

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 16 maart uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 17 maart uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 18 maart zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• Je kan nu nog een nieuwe regel or carriage return karakter aan een persoonlijke handtekening toevoegen door middel van een sjabloon. Er is echter een voorstel om dit in de toekomst niet meer toe te staan vanwege opmaakproblemen. [48][49]
• 12 wikis zullen tijdelijk alleen-lezen zijn op 23 March om 06:00 (UTC). Dit zou niet langer dan 30 minuten moeten duren.
• Je kan Quarry gebruiken voor SQL queries op de Wiki Replicas. Cross-database JOINS werken vanaf 23 maart niet meer. Er komt een nieuw veld om aan te geven met welke database er verbonden moet worden. Als je denkt dat dit invloed heeft op jouw bezigheden dan kan je een bericht achterlaten op Phabricator of op Wikitech. PAWS en andere manieren om SQL queries op de Wiki Replicas te doen zullen later aangepast worden. [50]

Tech News: 2021-12

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Er is een Wikipedia app voor telefoons met KaiOS. Deze toestellen hebben geen aanraakscherm waardoor navigeren alleen mogelijk is met fysieke knoppen. Er is nu een simulator waarin je kan zien hoe het eruit ziet.
• De reply tool en de new discussion tool zijn nu beschikbaar als "Overleghulpmiddelen" beta feature op bijna alle wiki's met uitzondering van de Duitse Wikipedia.

Problemen en onderhoud

• 12 wiki's zullen tijdelijk alleen-lezen zijn op 23 maart om 06:00 (UTC). Dit zou niet langer dan 30 minuten moeten duren. Het wijzigen van wachtwoorden, aanmelden op nieuwe wiki's, wijzigen of bevestigen van mailadressen en globale hernoemingen zijn ook niet mogelijk in deze periode.

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 23 maart uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 24 maart uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 25 maart zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)
• Syntaxiskleuring gaat veranderen om de leesbaarheid te verbeteren. De eerste wiki's worden binnenkort aangepast. [51]

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• Flagged revisions zullen niet langer meerdere labels zoals "tone" of "depth" hebben. Er zal ook niet meer dan één rang zijn. Dit is aangepast omdat slechts enkele wiki's deze features gebruikten en dit maakte de tool ingewikkeld om te onderhouden. [52][53]
• Gadgets en user scripts in JavaScript hebben toegang tot variabelen met informatie over de huidige pagina. In 2015 is dit verplaatst van wg* naar mw.config. wg* werkt binnenkort niet meer. [54]

Tijuana muziekstijl

Mijn bron was het Nederlandse wikipedia-artikel over Herb Alpert, waarin de muziekstijl omschreven is. Ook op de dp komt de stijl al jaren voor. Bij het herschrijven van het artikel over A&M RecordsA&M-records, kwam ik in de Amerikaanse pers wel de omschrijving Tijuana Sound tegen. RoBes81 (overleg) 23 mrt 2021 11:05 (CET)

De muziekstijl is wel onlosmakelijk verbonden met Herb Alpert, maar is dat een bezwaar?

Buiten Herb Alpert is er een lp van het pop-orkest 101 strings met de naam The Tijuana Sound, er is een Nortec collective met The Tijuana Sound, er is The Torero Band met Tijuana - Sound Of Brass | Tijuana Sound, er zijn Tijuana sound effects op soundsnap.RoBes81 (overleg) 24 mrt 2021 16:58 (CET)

Hi RoBes81, Een (algemene) muziekstijl impliceert dat er een redelijk grote groep van artiesten die stijl heeft of heeft gehad. Een (algemene) muziekstijl is dus erg breed. Naast de algemene muziekstijl bestaat er ook nog een persoonlijke muziekstijl van een artiest die anderen over kunnen nemen, artiesten kunnen gecoverd worden. Waar die overgang ligt van persoonlijk naar breed is afhankelijk van bronnen. Met andere woorden, uit verschillende bronnen moet blijken dat een stijl echt een algemene muziekstijl is. Op basis van wat je hier beschrijft zie ik niet de kenmerken terug van een algemene muziekstijl. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 26 mrt 2021 19:06 (CET)

Artikel verwijderen en de dp aanpassen of doorverwijzen naar Herb Alpert?Graag je meningRoBes81 (overleg) 27 mrt 2021 10:28 (CET)

Van dit onderwerp heb ik helaas te weinig verstand om daar specifiek iets over te kunnen zeggen. Mogelijk kan iemand anders je helpen met deze vraag. Romaine (overleg) 11 apr 2021 13:46 (CEST)

Sjabloon:Bronvermelding anderstalige Wikipedia

Ik heb meerdere keren een overleg opgestart om Sjabloon:Bronvermelding anderstalige Wikipedia van naam te laten veranderen. In alle gevallen was ongeveer de helft voor een naamsverandering en de helft tegen. Is het mogelijk een nieuw sjabloon te componeren/kopiëren met als titel Sjabloon:Licentievermelding anderstalige Wikipedia? Met dit tweede sjabloon zijn volgens mij alle partijen dan tevreden. The Banner Overleg 25 mrt 2021 11:11 (CET)

Hi The Banner, Het aanmaken van een sjabloon dat technisch exact hetzelfde doet en alleen een andere naam heeft is niet de bedoeling en is vragen om problemen. Doordat mijn aandacht elders lag heb ik de recentste discussie erover niet gevolgd. Maar als ik lees wat je hier schrijft dat de helft geen naamswijziging ziet zitten, het aanmaken van een 2e sjabloon juist geen oplossing maar vormt de aanmaak voor hen juist een bezwaar. We proberen op Wikipedia uit te gaan van consensus en die is er duidelijk niet. Het sjabloon is trouwens meermaals onderdeel geweest van peilingen/stemmingen geweest. Ook is het sjabloon bijzonder veel gebruikt. Dat bij elkaar lijkt het mij eerder dat er over gestemd moet worden wat er zou moeten gebeuren. Het belangrijkste daarin is dan dat er op neutrale wijze het probleem geschetst wordt en wat de gemeenschap dan verkiest dit op te lossen. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 26 mrt 2021 19:13 (CET)

Ergo, de komende 25 jaar hebben we dus een sjabloon dat massaal fout wordt gebruikt dankzij een ongelukkige naamskeuze en het foute gebruik wordt bevorderd door inactie. The Banner Overleg 26 mrt 2021 20:08 (CET)

Tech News: 2021-13

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Sommige antieke browsers werken niet goed met Wikimedia wiki's. Oude code voor browsers die voorheen ondersteund waren is verwijderd waardoor de betreffende browsers mogelijk niet goed meer werken. [56]
• Meldingen van recente wijzigingen op IRC zijn verplaatst naar een nieuwe server. Tools moeten altijd verbinden met irc.wikimedia.org en niet de naam van een specifieke server. Gebruikers kunnen ook overwegen om over te stappen op de modernere EventStreams. [57]

Problemen en onderhoud

• Bij het verplaatsen van een pagina die veel gebruikers op hun volglijst hebben staan kan de geschiedenis onverwacht gesplitst worden. Daarna is de pagina mogelijk ook voor enige tijd niet meer te verplaatsen. Dit komt door een probleem met job queue. (opdrachtenwachtrij) [58]
• Sommige vertaalbare pagina's op Meta konden niet bewerkt worden door een fout in de vertaaltool. De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki heeft door problemen als deze vertraging opgelopen. [59][60]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 30 maart uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 31 maart uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 1 april zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden.

Mariakapel (Evertsoord, Patersstraat)

Zie je Mariakapel (Evertsoord, Patersstraat). Bij geschiedenis lopen twee zinnen (of meer) door elkaar.Ceescamel (overleg) 1 apr 2021 14:54 (CEST)

Hi Ceescamel, Dank voor de attendering hierop! Er ontbraken blijkbaar twee woordjes: aangepast! Romaine (overleg) 11 apr 2021 13:48 (CEST)

verzoek

Romaine, de infobox Formule 1:

{{{editie}}}e Formule 1-seizoen ({{{jaar}}})

Volgende: {{{volgende editie}}} Vorige: {{{vorige editie}}}

Portaal    Autosport

werkt de laatste 2 jaar niet meer goed. In Formule 1 in 2020 staat er "Tussenstand coureurs na 2020/17 races" en "Tussenstand constructeurs na 2020/17 races" terwijl bij Formule 1 in 2019 keurig staat "Eindstand coureurs" en "Eindstand constructeurs" . Het zal wel er mee te maken hebben dat het aantal races tegenwoordig elk jaar wijzigt? In Formule 1 in 2021 gaat het ook fout in de infobox; "Tussenstand coureurs na 2021/23 races".

Kun je hier eventueel naar kijken? De originele aanmaker van het sjabloon is kennelijk vertrokken van wikipedia. Vr groet Saschaporsche (overleg) 3 apr 2021 18:48 (CEST)

Infobox werkt prima, maar is helaas slecht gedocumenteerd wat verkeerd gebruik in de hand werkt. Ik heb het gerepareerd op de genoemde pagina's. –bdijkstra (overleg) 3 apr 2021 20:21 (CEST)

Navigatie oorlogsmonumenten Zuid-Holland

Beste Romaine, In Navigatie oorlogsmonumenten Zuid-Holland, is Krimpen aan den IJssel niet te zien. Ik heb de Lijst van oorlogsmonumenten in Krimpen aan den IJssel op 14 jan 2021 aangemaakt en ook toegevoegd aan Lijst van oorlogsmonumenten in Zuid-Holland. Weet jij hoe ik dit kan oplossen? Agaath (overleg) 5 apr 2021 16:08 (CEST)

Hallo. Ik ben niet Romaine, maar als je in de linkerzijbalk op "Paginagegevens" klikt, zie je de gebruikte sjablonen op een pagina. Zo kan je o.a. op {{Navigatie oorlogsmonumenten Zuid-Holland}} terechtkomen. Ik heb het daar toegevoegd. Een fijne dag verder. Mvg, TheDragonhunter | Vragen?‍ 11 apr 2021 02:36 (CEST)

Hi Agaath, De lijsten zijn gebaseerd op de database van 4 en 5 mei en in hun database zit/zat blijkbaar geen enkel oorlogsmonument uit deze gemeente. Blijkbaar zijn er toch oorlogsmonumenten, mooi dus dat je de lijst hebt aangemaakt. Naast de methode die TheDragonhunter noemt om bij een sjabloon te komen, kun je ook de naam van een sjabloon kopiëren en er Sjabloon: voor plaatsen. Een sjabloon is in de basis niets meer dan een pagina (met bv een tabel) die in een andere pagina ingevoegd wordt, waarbij navigatiesjablonen vrij simpel zijn en infoboxen juist complex. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 11 apr 2021 13:55 (CEST)

Beiden hartelijk dank. Ik ben weer wat wijzer geworden. Groet Agaath (overleg) 14 apr 2021 16:51 (CEST)

Tech News: 2021-14

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Gebruikers kunnen delen van een artikel inklappen zodat je erop moet klikken om het te zien. Als je nu klikt op een link naar een sectie die standaard is ingeklapt dan zal die sectie nu automatisch uitgeklapt worden en de browser scrollt dan naar de betreffende sectie. Dergelijke links werkten voorheen niet tenzij je eerst handmatig de sectie uitklapte. [61]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• De citoid API gaat 2010-12-XX gebruiken in plaats van 2010-12 voor datums met een maand maar zonder gespecificeerde dag omdat 2010-12 ook is te interpreteren als 2010-2012. In het Extended Date/Time Format heet dit level 1 in plaats van level 0. [62]
• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 6 april uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 7 april uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 8 april zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• PAWS kan nu verbinding maken met de nieuwe Wikireplica's. Cross-database JOINS zullen vanaf 28 april niet meer werken. Er is een nieuwe manier om verbinding te maken met de databases. Tot 28 april werken beide verbindingsmethoden. Als je denkt dat dit invloed heeft op wat je doet en je hebt hulp nodig dan kan je een reactie achterlaten op Phabricator of op Wikitech.

Waarom niet?

Hoi, wat markeert hier aan? --Sb008 (overleg) 12 apr 2021 01:11 (CEST)

Hi Sb008, De functie van dit sjabloon is dat gebruikers dit (rechtstreeks) invoegen in een artikel indien op die plek een bronvermelding gewenst wordt door diegene. Vervolgens kan dan iemand anders in het artikel dit sjabloon vervangen door een referentie. In de bovengenoemde casus is er én geen gebruiker die het sjabloon invoegt én het is voor minstens 90% van de ervaren gebruikers onmogelijk om de zogenaamd gewenste referentie in te voegen. Hier wordt het Bron?-sjabloon niet gebruikt waarvoor het bedoeld is. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 12 apr 2021 01:43 (CEST)

Dus als ik deze tabel maak

	AJA	PSV
Ajax		1-0
PSV	2-0

Bron:

Dan mag ik daar wel het sjabloon {{Bron?}} gebruiken, maar niet als die tabel via een module wordt gegeneerd? --Sb008 (overleg) 12 apr 2021 02:23 (CEST)

Als jij als gebruiker vindt dat in het artikel een bron ontbreekt, dan kan Bron? ingevoegd worden, maar dat is niet iets voor een sjabloon om te bepalen dat een referentie toegevoegd moet worden. Romaine (overleg) 12 apr 2021 22:13 (CEST)

Op WP:VER valt in de banner te lezen:

Verifieerbaarheid is een eis aan artikelen op Wikipedia. Het principe van verifieerbaarheid is breed aanvaard in de Wikipedia-gemeenschap. Ook is het vastgelegd in documenten zoals de Vijf zuilen en is het bij stemming bevestigd.

Dit geldt dus ook voor standen- en uitslagentabellen. Wanneer iemand middels module:Sports table een standentabel creeert, of via module:Sports results een uitslagentabel, en daarbij nalaat om middels de parameter |source= of de parameter |bron= (deze 2 parameters zijn equivalent) aan te geven welke bron is gebruikt, wordt niet voldaan aan WP:VER. Dit rechtvaardigt dan ook dat beide modules in dat geval automatsch het sjabloon {{Bron?}} toevoegen.

Kortom wanneer iemand deze modules gebruikt en nalaat een bron te geven middels 1 van beide parameters, vind ik als gebruiker dat de bron ontbreekt en dus het sjabloon {{Bron?}} moet worden ingevoegd. Dat vind ik niet alleen, maar is in WP:5Z vastgelegd, en vind zijn weerslag in WP:NEU, WP:BVB, WP:VER en WP:GOO.

Maar ik begrijp dat jij zo je eigen mening en regels hebt, en al deze princiepes maar even terzijde schuift en een stemming aan je laars lapt. --Sb008 (overleg) 12 apr 2021 22:45 (CEST)

Er is een zeer groot verschil tussen de regel van verifieerbaar zijn, terwijl bronvermelding niet verplicht gesteld is. (Zie o.a. deze stemming.) Maar dit gaat allemaal volledig voorbij aan de functie van het Bron?-sjabloon dat bedoeld is om door gebruikers in artikelen dit sjabloon te plaatsen. Jouw sjabloon voegde Bron? in, terwijl meer dan 90% van de ervaren gebruikers die (discutabele) bronvraag niet kunnen oplossen. Je kunt vinden dat uitslagen van een bron voorzien dienen te zijn (en daar ben ik het zeker niet mee oneens), maar de manier Bron? wordt ingevoegd werkt het niet. Romaine (overleg) 12 apr 2021 23:06 (CEST)

PS: Als je niet begrijpt wat ik schrijf is dat nog geen reden om over te gaan op een persoonlijke aanval. Romaine (overleg) 12 apr 2021 23:09 (CEST)

Dan hoor ik graag van jou een alternatieve optie, anders dan een bron, om de tabellen verifieerbaar te maken. En 90% van de ervaren gebruikers die deze modules gebruiken weten echt wel hoe ze het kunnen oplossen. Verder werkt de methode uitstekend en anders passen we dit aan zodat het wel werkt. Blijkbaar moet ik overal het sjabloon handmatig gaan plaatsen. --Sb008 (overleg) 12 apr 2021 23:17 (CEST)

P.S. Jouw redenatie en handelen ter discussie stellen is geen persoonlijke aanval. Twijfel over mijn verstandelijke vermogens oproepen wel. --Sb008 (overleg) 12 apr 2021 23:19 (CEST)

Je hebt zelf "mijn" redenatie verzonnen, dat is een persoonlijke aanval. Dat ik de indruk heb dat je niet begrijpt wat ik bedoel zegt helemaal niks over je verstandelijke vermogens. Iedereen heeft wel eens een keer iets dat diegene niet begrijpt.

De oplossing is allang gegeven: gebruik het Bron?-sjabloon zoals het bedoeld is: een gebruiker die vindt dat voor een bepaald gegeven een bron nodig is (terwijl die in een artikel ontbreekt) voegt zelf in het artikel op die plek het Bron?-sjabloon toe. Romaine (overleg) 3 mei 2021 12:34 (CEST)

Rouwkaarten op Wikipedia

Beste Romaine, ik beschik over de rouwkaarten in pdf van de onlangs overleden oud-atleten Elly Witkamp en Ton Blok. Kun jij mij adviseren hoe ik die ter bestemder plekke op wikipedia krijg? Bij voorbaat mijn hartelijke dank. Groet, Piet.Wijker (overleg) 12 apr 2021 14:59 (CEST)

Hi Piet.Wijker, Ik denk dat op rouwkaarten auteursrechten rusten. Net als het hebben van een boek niet betekent dat je ook de auteursrechten op het werk hebt, denk ik dat dit ook voor rouwkaarten geldt. De nabestaanden zullen daarom dus eerst toestemming moeten geven voor publicatie op Wikimedia Commons (via WP:OTRS). Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 12 apr 2021 22:16 (CEST)

O, is dat zo? Dat wist ik niet. Ik zal eens kijken of ik de nabestaanden zover kan krijgen. Zo niet, dan heb ik nog wel een andere optie die als broninfo kan fungeren. Hartelijk dank voor de informatie. Groet, Piet.Wijker (overleg) 12 apr 2021 22:21 (CEST)

Tech News: 2021-16

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Vrijwilligers beantwoorden de mail die is gericht aan de Wikimedia wiki's. Deze vrijwilligers gebruiken nu Znuny in plaats van OTRS voor deze taak. De functies en interface blijven hetzelfde. De moderators van deze vrijwilligers geven binnenkort meer informatie over de volgende stappen. [64][65]
• Als je syntaxhighlighting gebruikt zie je regelnummers in de 2010 en 2017 wikitext editors tijdens het bewerken van sjablonen. Dit maakt het eenvoudiger om nieuwe regels te herkennen en om specifieke regels te bespreken. Regelnummers zullen binnenkort in alle naamruimten beschikbaar zijn. [66][67][68]
• Door een technische wijziging kunnen er problemen optreden met gadgets en scripts waarvan het invoerveld voor de bewerkingssamenvatting hierop lijkt. Als het er vreemd uitziet moet mw.loader.using('mediawiki.action.edit.styles') gebruikt worden om het er weer uit te laten zien zoals het was. [69]
• De nieuwste versie van MediaWiki kwam vorige week naar Wikimedia wiki's. Er was vorige week geen Technieuws.

Wijzigingen later deze week

• Er is geen nieuwe MediaWiki-versie deze week.

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• De gebruikersgroep oversight zal hernoemd worden naar suppress vanwege technische redenen. Dit betreft alleen de interne technische naam en heeft geen invloed op de communicatie met en over gebruikers met dit recht. Dit gaat de komende twee weken gebeuren. Je kan reageren op Phabricator als je bezwaren hebt.

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.

Recente wijzigingen

• Twinkle is a gadget on English Wikipedia. It can help with maintenance and patrolling. It can now be used on other wikis. You can get Twinkle on your wiki using the twinkle-starter GitHub repository.

Problemen en onderhoud

• Door een softwarefout werkte het inhoudsvertaling hulpmiddel tijdelijk niet voor veel artikelen. [73]
• Some things will not work for about a minute on 5 May. This will happen around 06:00 UTC. This will affect the content translation tool and notifications among other things. This is because of an upgrade to avoid crashes. [74]

Wijzigingen later deze week

• Voorbeeldweergave van referenties zal op 5 mei een standaardfeature worden op een aantal wiki's. Dit is later dan gepland door een aantal wijzigingen. Deze feature werkt ook zonder Page Previews. Het oorspronkelijke plan was om alleen een instelling te hebben die deze twee features tegelijk zou in- of uitschakelen. [75][76]
• De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 4 mei uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 5 mei uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedia's en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 6 mei zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)

Toekomstige wijzigingen

• The CSS classes .error, .warning and .success do not work for mobile readers if they have not been specifically defined on your wiki. From June they will not work for desktop readers. This can affect gadgets and templates. The classes can be defined in MediaWiki:Common.css or template styles instead. [77]

Tech News: 2021-21

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 Wikimedia movement has been using IRC on a network called Freenode. There have been changes around who is in control of the network. The Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts have decided to move to the new Libera Chat network instead. This is not a formal decision for the movement to move all channels but most Wikimedia IRC channels will probably leave Freenode. There is a migration guide and ongoing Wikimedia discussions about this.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 May. It will be on all wikis from 27 May (calendar).

Tech News: 2021-23

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

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 June. It will be on all wikis from 10 June (calendar).

Future changes

• The Wikimedia movement uses Phabricator for technical tasks. This is where we collect technical suggestions, bugs and what developers are working on. The company behind Phabricator will stop working on it. This will not change anything for the Wikimedia movement now. It could lead to changes in the future. [88][89][90]
• Searching on Wikipedia will find more results in some languages. This is mainly true for when those who search do not use the correct diacritics because they are not seen as necessary in that language. For example searching for Bedusz doesn't find Będusz on German Wikipedia. The character ę isn't used in German so many would write e instead. This will work better in the future in some languages. [91]
• The CSRF token parameters in the action API were changed in 2014. The old parameters from before 2014 will stop working soon. This can affect bots, gadgets and user scripts that still use the old parameters. [92][93]

Tech News: 2021-24

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

• Logged-in users on the mobile web can choose to use the advanced mobile mode. They now see categories in a similar way as users on desktop do. This means that some gadgets that have just been for desktop users could work for users of the mobile site too. If your wiki has such gadgets you could decide to turn them on for the mobile site too. Some gadgets probably need to be fixed to look good on mobile. [94]
• Language links on Wikidata now works for multilingual Wikisource. [95]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

• In the future we can't show the IP of unregistered editors to everyone. This is because privacy regulations and norms have changed. There is now a rough draft of how showing the IP to those who need to see it could work.
• German Wikipedia, English Wikivoyage and 29 smaller wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 22 June. This is planned between 5:00 and 5:30 UTC. [96]
• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes in the week of 28 June. More information will be published in Tech News later. It will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [97][98]
