Automatische categorie-indeling Wikivoyage

Over Wikivoyage. Naar voorbeeld van de Duitse Wikivoyage heb ik het sjabloon {{IsIn}} aangepast, waardoor alle artikelen nu automatisch bij een categorie ingedeeld worden. Er is alleen één heel klein probleempje: we zitten daardoor nu wel met misschien wel duizenden dode 'categorielinks', die nog niet op elkaar aansluiten ook! Kun je er misschien even een bot op loslaten, zodat de categorieën automatisch worden aangemaakt en ook op elkaar aangesloten worden (met ondercategorieën enzovoort)? Bedankt! Ischa1 (overleg) 30 jul 2013 12:07 (CEST)

Hallo Ischa1, Dat zal dat wel volledig uitgevoerd moeten gaan worden, het kan op zich wel. Ik zal eens kijken hoe dat handig kan gebeuren. Groetjes - ※ Romaine 30 jul 2013 15:44 (CEST)

Navigatiesjablonen

Hoi Romaine,

Ik hoop dat je nu iets meer tijd en/of zin heb om naar de mogelijkheid van extra groepen in navigatiesjablonen te kijken. Als dat niet zo is, laat dan even weten, het heeft nog steeds geen haast. Om een en ander er goed uit te laten zien zou de tekst links moeten uitlijnen en moet er op de een of andere manier in de achtergrond onderscheid gemaakt worden tussen de categorieën en de inhoud. en:Template:Navbox subgroup is een voorbeeld, maar zo hoeft het natuurlijk niet exact te worden. Nogmaals, uit eindelijk zou ik er zelf ook wel achter kunnen komen hoe zoiets in elkaar te zetten, maar geen idee of de achterliggende code dan nog behoorlijk werkt. Zeker omdat ons Sjabloon:Navigatie/Tabel niet met wikitabellen maar met <tr> werkt. Met vriendelijke groeten, Sir Iain _overleg 3 dec 2013 16:19 (CET)

Hoi Romaine,

Heeft het nog een betekenis dat deze vraag nu in het geel staat? :)

Heb je hier nog tijd voor en zin in? Groeten, Sir Iain _overleg 5 jan 2014 18:40 (CET)

Hallo Sir Iain, Het geel houdt voor mij in dat het in de wachtkamer staat en hoort bij een eerdere archiefperiode dan de huidige. Tevens houdt het het in dat ik er nog naar moet kijken en inhoudelijk diepgaander op reageren. Mijn uitgangspunt is er om er deze maand naar te kijken, maar niet vandaag als laatste dag van de erg succesvolle dubbele schrijfweek over Zweden. Groetjes - ※ Romaine 5 jan 2014 18:47 (CET)

Ah, OK!

Die schrijfweek Zweden is trouwens een heel mooi project geworden! Sir Iain _overleg 5 jan 2014 18:52 (CET)

Hoi Romaine,

Zou je nog eens een blik kunnen werpen op dit probleem? Groeten, Sir Iain _overleg 28 mrt 2014 15:48 (CET)

Hoi Romaine,

Staat dit punt nog op je to-do-list? Een uitgebreider navigatie-sjabloon zou mij en hopelijk de lezer echt kunnen helpen om een onderwerp op een geordende manier navigeernaar te maken. Groeten, Sir Iain _overleg 13 jul 2014 14:18 (CEST)

afronding Sjabloon:Coor title dms

Hoi Romaine, De afronding van Sjabloon:Coor title dms gaat nog niet helemaal goed. Wanneer er bijvoorbeeld 120|59|54 wordt opgegeven wordt dit getoond als 120° 60′, maar dit moet dan natuurlijk 121° 0′ worden. Kan je dit misschien nog een keertje doorvoeren? Alvast bedankt. Groeten Magalhães (overleg) 31 mei 2014 09:37 (CEST)

Browser-afhankelijk probleem Wikivoyage pagebanner

Hallo Romaine,

Allereerst een fijne kerst en de beste wensen voor het nieuwe jaar toegewenst.

Maar nu even een Wiki-probleempje. Sedert enige dagen verschijnt de TOC in een pagebanner onder elkaar en niet naast elkaar in:

• Chrome op mijn laptop
• in mijn standaard Android 5.0 browser (na de keuze voor desktopweergave)

maar gaat het wel goed in IE en FF. Aan sjabloon:pagebanner is al maanden niets gewijzigd.

Weet jij ook waar dat wordt geregeld en wie daar nu mee aan het werk is? Ik heb het een paar dagen aangezien, met het idee dat het "werk in uitvoering" daarna wel zou zijn afgerond. Maar dat is dus kennelijk als afgerond beschouwd, maar wel met de introductie van deze browser-afhankelijke fout. FredTC (overleg) 25 dec 2015 03:57 (CET)

Vandaag bemerkte ik een nieuw TOC-probleem: in IE komt de TOC slechts even in beeld en is dan weer verdwenen. In FF gaat het (nog) wel goed. Chrome is onveranderd. FredTC (overleg) 1 feb 2016 03:30 (CET)

Hallo Romaine, het probleem doet zich nog steeds voor. Had jij dit nog ergens aangekaart? FredTC (overleg) 4 mrt 2016 15:49 (CET)

Datumparameters bij samenvoegsjablonen

Zie deze discussie. Was je al van plan om de genoemde wijzigingen door te voeren? Ik heb sjabloon:samenvoegen en sjabloon:samenvoegennaar al aangepast, voor die twee zou je je bot al kunnen inschakelen. --BDijkstra (overleg) 4 apr 2016 12:18 (CEST)

Afbeeldingsnaam onder afbeelding

Hoi Romaine. Op de pagina Loja (stad) staat de afbeeldingsnaam onder de afbeelding ("kaart"). Dat lijkt mij niet de bedoeling. Heb jij een idee wat er hier misgaat? Met vriendelijke groeten, 4ever_(Overleg) 27 feb 2018 17:01 (CET)

Hi Smile4ever, de afbeeldingsnaam staat in de infobox omdat die infobox de mogelijkheid biedt om een losse kaart in te voegen. Er zijn dus twee opties: ofwel de afbeeldingsnaam wordt weggehaald, of er wordt een volwaardige bestandsnaam van gemaakt. In dit geval heb ik eerst maar eens het sjabloon teruggezet voordat deze onterecht aangepast werd. Romaine (overleg) 27 feb 2018 17:08 (CET)

Hoi Romaine. Na jouw aanpassing is de infobox terug in orde. Hartelijk dank. Met vriendelijke groeten, 4ever_(Overleg) 28 feb 2018 10:29 (CET)

De vrouwen die je nooit hebt ontmoet 2018

Beste Romaine, kun je deze schrijfwedstrijd ook vermelden bij de themaweken/verzendlijst en onderstaand bericht via de verzendlijst rondsturen? DirkVE overleg 28 feb 2018 09:14 (CET)

Op 8 maart zal voor de tweede maal de #100wikiwoman-challenge eindigen, maar niet gevreesd want er komt meteen een tweede uitdaging aan. Vanaf 5 maart tot 9 april 2018 loopt de schrijfwedstrijd "De vrouwen die je nooit hebt ontmoet". Dit initiatief vindt plaats tijdens Women's History Month en wordt ondersteund door Iberocoop. Deze wedstrijd werd voor het eerst in 2015 georganiseerd op de Engelstalige Wikipedia en vanaf 2017 internationaal. De Nederlandse Wikipedia zal voor de tweede maal deelnemen. Tot nu toe resulteerde dit in 3500 nieuwe of bewerkte artikelen. Het doel is het verbeteren van Wikipedia's artikelen over vrouwen. We bedoelen hiermee ook alle artikelen gerelateerd aan vrouwenorganisaties en feministische bewegingen. Dit kan door bestaande vrouwgerelateerde artikelen zo neutraal mogelijk te maken of nieuwe artikelen te schrijven op een zo genderneutraal mogelijke wijze. Er zijn enkele mooie prijzen te winnen, ter beschikking gesteld door Wikimedia Argentinië en Wikimedia Nederland.

Alle informatie en het wedstrijdreglement is te vinden op De vrouwen die je nooit hebt ontmoet 2018

@DirkVE: Dat kan ik vanavond doen. Romaine (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 16:30 (CET)

Bedankt! DirkVE overleg 4 mrt 2018 17:27 (CET)

Technische vraag

hoi Romaine, XxMarijnxw en ik hebben de laatste tijd geprobeerd om de blokkeerlinks voor ranges in het sjabloon {{ws}} werkend te krijgen. Dit is echter tot op heden nog niet gelukt. De links daarvoor (zoals in het waarschuwingssjabloon (en anderen)) komen uit {{Infobalk waarschuwingssjablonen}}. Zou je kunnen kijken of jij dit wel werkend zou kunnen krijgen? Dit zou enorm helpen bij het bestrijden van vandalisme vanaf eenzelfde IPv6-range. Alvast bedankt. Met vriendelijke groet, Wiki13 (overleg) 28 feb 2018 19:34 (CET)

Hi Wiki13: Mogelijk kan ik helpen, misschien niet. Het probleem zal er voor mij denk ik in zitten dat ik het systeem van ranges (anders dan een serie IP-adressen) niet begrijp. Een tweede aspect zal zijn dat ik niet weet wat je precies wilt. Ik heb er wel net iets in aangepast. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 16:30 (CET)

Hoi Romaine, bedankt voor je reactie. Het gaat er meer om dat er ook ranges ingevoerd kunnen worden, zegmaar iets als 213.243.89.0/26 bijvoorbeeld. Het infobalk sjabloon doet dit al voor sjablonen als {{ws-school}} waarin het al volop gebruikt wordt. Echter met de opkomst van IPv6 is het steeds vaker nog om een hele IPv6 dicht te zetten om een gebruiker te stoppen. Het is nu zo dat we handmatig een range via het blokkeerscherm moeten blokkeren, terwijl een al een ingevulde link door middel van een sjabloon (zodra ingevuld natuurlijk) veel handiger is voor de minder technische moderatoren. Het zou in principe al moeten werken volgens {{Infobalk waarschuwingssjablonen}}, maar wij beiden konden er niet verder mee komen. Ik hoop dat dit het een en ander verduidelijkt. Ik zal verder ook nog even kijken of je wijziging heeft geholpen. Wiki13 (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 16:39 (CET)

Ik denk dat Overleg_gebruiker:2A02:A443:F0C9:1:0:0:0:0/64 een goed voorbeeld hiervoor is. Het geeft een link voor een individueel IP, terwijl daar eigenlijk een knopje zou moeten staan om de range te blokkeren. Wiki13 (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 16:42 (CET)

Ik heb er net even naar gekeken. Er gebeurt iets geks met de parameter, want als ik in dat infobalk-sjabloon {{{2}}} vervang door 2A02:A443:F0C9:1:0:0:0:0/64 dan gaat het wel goed. –bdijkstra (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 17:12 (CET)

(na bwc)Dit maakt het niet bijzonder duidelijker. Laat ik het puntsgewijs bekijken:

• In het voorbeeld staat een link "Blokkeer IP". Begrijp ik goed dat het om die link gaat?
• Die link toont nu Speciaal:Blockip&wpTarget=2A02:A443:F0C9:1:0:0:0:0 -> moet die link daar automatisch /64 achter krijgen?
• Wanneer moet die link aangepast worden?
• Hoe moet dit sjabloon detecteren dat deze een aangepaste blokkeer-url gebruikt? Hoe kan die dat weten?

Romaine (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 17:16 (CET)

Volgens mij heb ik het al opgelost. Sjabloon:ws gaf geen enkele parameters door. –bdijkstra (overleg) 4 mrt 2018 17:40 (CET)

Met dank voor het nadenken @Bdijkstra: en @Romaine:, ik zie nu een Blokkeer IP-range knopje op de bovenstaande pagina. Dat was het doel ook eigenlijk, misschien dat ik hierboven niet helemaal duidelijk was met de intentie erachter. Daarvoor mijn excuses, was niet zo bedoeld. Ik ben al blij dat het werkt nu.

Nederlands-Indisch voetbalelftal

Hello, I need your help :

• I work on the article in french and I noticed a friendly match between the Netherlands and Dutch East Indies, in Amsterdam, the June 26th 1938 (dutch victory 9-2), but I don't understand why it was an unofficial match. Why?
• Moreover, I was surprised because I find Piet Dumortier in polish and in italian but not in dutch. Why?
• Then I only find a coach for the Dutch East Indies team, Johannes Mastenbroek, but the team had played matches in 1934 and I haven't found any information about other coaches.

Cordially.FCNantes72 (overleg) 1 mrt 2018 21:54 (CET)

Editing News #1—2018

Did you know?

Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?

Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.

If you enable the Beta Feature for "Visual differences", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes

• The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
• The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges. [11]
• Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [12]
• The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up. Your wiki can have this service. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.

Let's work together

• The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
• Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
• The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [13]
• If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Bedankt!

Lombardstraat 77

Zicht op de Lombardstraat met in het midden nummer 77. De voronoïdes zijn in de weerkaatsing van het zonlicht goed zichtbaar.

Dag Romaine, je hebt vanmorgen het artikel Lombardstraat 77 aangemaakt. Ik zag dat we op Commons enkele plaatjes hebben waar het gebouw op staat. Het zijn geen geweldige plaatjes, maar eentje is mogelijk goed genoeg. Ik zal hem niet direct in het artikel opnemen gezien het feit dát het geen geweldig plaatje is; kijk maar wat je er van vindt. maarten|wp:wpbe 4 mrt 2018 11:30 (CET)

Hi Maartenschrijft: Dank voor het meekijken, ik had die afbeelding echter al gezien. Omdat ik met Google ook geen foto onder vrije licentie kon vinden, ga ik binnenkort er eens langs om een foto te maken van het gebouw. Ik heb een lijstje met gebouwen die ik nog wil fotograferen.

Tech News: 2018-10

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

• You can now make longer edit summaries. [14]

Changes later this week

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. [15]
• On Special:AbuseLog you can now choose to list only actions that actually made an edit. Other actions are when the filter warned the editor or blocked the edit from being made. There are also more search options. [16][17]
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor, but it is complex. The tool will now warn in the JavaScript console if the configuration isn't correct. Soon Citoid will disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [18]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 March. It will be on all wikis from 8 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 March at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 7 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• In the future you will be able to use global preferences. This means you could change a preference for all wikis instead of having to change it every time for each wiki. You can now test global preferences and give feedback.
• You can now read about planned works on maps during 2018. This will be done by June. You can give feedback on the planned maps work.

De Roze Wolk

Da Romaine,

Hoewel ik je grotendeels erkentelijk ben voor het wieden van de commentaarsecties uit het artikel De Roze Wolk (het meeste kon ook wel weg) en eventuele andere bijdragen/correcties, wil ik toch wel opmerken dat er natuurlijk niet voor niets nog een {{meebezig}}-sjabloon in staat (of hopelijk ondertussen stond, omdat ik bezig ben mijn bijdragen af te ronden, omdat ik er zelf onderhand weinig meer over weet dan ik er al in heb gezet, zodat het ook aan anderen is om informatie toe te voegen indien er nog het e.e.a. ontbreekt).

Ik zou vanzelfsprekend het meebezig-sjabloon niet eerder verwijderd hebben dan dat ik de wiki-brontekst van de commentaarsecties had ontdaan. Enkele van de commentaarsecties hadden nog wel een doel/betekenis; zo bevatten naast – als ik het me nog wel herinner – enkele notes-to-self m.b.t. informatie of zaken/delen waar ik nog naar moest kijken/wat brononderzoek wilde doen, en in elk geval wat heen-en-weer informatie naar het gebruikte sjabloon dat ook nieuw is en waar nog wat in aangepast en bijgeschaafd moest worden, al dan niet afhankelijk van hoe e.e.a. uit de verf zo komen (of, zoals ook een paar keer bleek, ingevulde parameters niet werden getoond door kleine (met name copy & paste) foutjes in het infobox-sjabloon. Ook was het de bedoeling om één of meerdere opmerkingen in het commentaar over te zetten naar de (nog niet bestaande) overlegpagina vanuit de wiki-brontekst van het artikel. (Ik moet nu weer terugzoeken welke aantekeningen/opmerkingen uit het commentaar het precies ging).

(Als ik het meebezig-sjabloon al verwijderd had, en al die "rommel" in commentaarsecties stond er nog in, dan hadje me daar zonder meer op aan mogen (zo niet moeten) spreken, maar in dit geval ervaarde ik het door de voortvarendheid waarmee de commentaarsecties werden opgeruimd als dat het nut van het meebezig-sjabloon er een beetje door verloren ging, te meer html-commentaar geen enkel effect heeft of op de getoonde tekst in het artikel.

Ik hoop dan ook dat terwijl ik nu de laatste plooien uit het 'horeca-infobox'-sjabloon aan het gladstrijken ben, en daarom daar dus ook nog een meebezig-sjabloon in heb staan, de commentaarvelden daar nog wel even met rust gelaten worden (tot ik ze zelf heb weggehaald of verplaatst/heb opgenomen in de sjabloon-uitleg of de OP ervan. Met vriendelijke groeten - martix (overleg) 6 mrt 2018 07:24 (CET)

À propos, ik meen haast zeker te weten dat ik categorie-parameter van het {{beginnetje}}=sjabloon al had ingevuld met de ctegorie homohoreca, echter werd door Romainebot vervangen/overschreven door Categorie Landen & volken? (Zelfs als het niet om een overschrijving van een al ingevulde parameter ging, dan is dat toch een merkwaardige 'beginnetje'-categorie? Mvg - martix (overleg) 6 mrt 2018 07:40 (CET)

@martix: Hoewel sommige gebruikers anders denken, een meebezig-sjabloon waarschuwt enkel ervoor dat iemand mogelijk de pagina op dat moment aan het bewerken is en een bewerkingsconflict kan ontstaan. Ik blijf er doorgaans liever vanaf als zo'n sjabloon erop staat, maar het artikel kwam in een beheercategorie terecht die mijn bot dagelijks afwerkt en wat gestoord werd. Zodoende kwam ik langs.

Op z'n vroegst pas als het meebezig-sjabloon eraf gehaald zou zijn terwijl de commentaarteksten er nog stonden zou ik iemand er op wijzen, maar zelfs dat doe ik dan maar sporadisch omdat er niet aandacht hoeft gevraagd te worden op ieder dingetje, zeker niet als ik het zelf op kan lossen.

Wat betreft Beginnetje, er is ooit een vaste structuur van categorieën bedacht en er kan in principe niet zelf een nieuwe beginnetjes-categorie bedacht worden (= 1e parameter). De reden daarvoor is o.a. dat het dan niet mogelijk meer is om met een vergelijkingstool twee categorieën goed met elkaar te vergelijken, want alleen als een wat algemene beginnetjescategorie met een meer specifieke categorie vergeleken wordt kan daar succesvol een resultaat gevonden worden. Er zijn daarnaast twee mogelijke onderverdelingen toepasbaar, sortering naar mens en maatschappij of sortering naar land. Het sorteren naar land wordt steeds meer gebruikt door de steeds groter wordende groep van artikelen die gaan over een specifiek land in plaats van generieke onderwerpen. Homohoreca kan wellicht gebruikt worden als een onderwerpcategorie waarop gecategoriseerd wordt, als beginnetjescategorie is het dus ongeschikt.

Wat betreft Sjabloon:Infobox horeca, ja, die staat als tabblad open te wachten tot je klaar bent, want ook daar zijn wijzigingen nodig. Niet alleen wat betreft verborgen commentaar, maar ook een aantal parametervelden horen niet in een infobox thuis (bv e-mail en telefoonnummer), die zijn jaren terug al uit infoboxen gesloopt wegens onwenselijkheid. Als je meebezig op een sjabloon plaatst, kan dat dus betekenen dat een deel van je werk verloren tijd is, of dat er andere wijzigingen nodig zijn waardoor er later meer werk nodig is om te repareren, in plaats van dat als het meteen aangepakt was dat niet had gehoeven. Meebezig kan dan wel gebruikt worden op sjablonen, het betekent echter bijna altijd meer werk voor anderen doordat het oplossen van issues uitgesteld wordt. Ook op artikelen zou ik liever geen meebezig gebruiken, dan kan iets beter in het kladblok geschreven worden en als het klaar is verplaatst worden. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 6 mrt 2018 13:41 (CET)

Zonder verder in te gaan op de inhoud van het sjabloon, kun je een handje helpen voor wat betreft de documentatie? Dat is volgens mij een apart document wat op een voor mij duistere wijze aan het sjabloon wordt geknoopt. Kun jij zo'n documentatie-document toevoegen? The Banner Overleg 6 mrt 2018 14:12 (CET)

Als Martix klaar is ga ik de documentatie op orde brengen, komt goed. Romaine (overleg) 6 mrt 2018 14:14 (CET)

@Romaine:, @The Banner: ik loop verschrikkelijk achter op mijn belofte in het {meebezig}-sjabloon (waarvoor aan iedereen mijn nederige en welgemeende excuses), maar nóg dit (Paas)weekend maak ik het sjabloon "schoon" en zal ik de uitleg (beter) structuren / dubbele uitleg e.d verwijderen, en in elk geval Romaine op de hoogte brengen zodat die eventuele foutjes die ik heb gemist kan fiksen/dingen die in 'uniform' zijn met andere sjablonen in lijn kan brengen met al dan niet ongeschreven richtlijnen. Nogmaals excuses voor het telkenmale overschrijven van (door mijzelf opgelegde) deadlines, graag jullie begrip daarvoor. Met vriendelijke groet, - martix (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 13:40 (CEST)

Straten in Brussel

Hallo Romaine,

Voor je projectje met straten in Brussel: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/wO8

Die query kan nog aangepast worden. Export naar CSV is ook mogelijk. Het gebied (nu enkel Brussel Centrum, postcode 1000) kan uitgebreid worden.

OpenStreetMap <-> Wikidata

This video illustrates what I want to propose for GSoC this year:

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/46746027

It only starts to get interesting at 30 minutes... Everything before that is about mapping and the importing of schools in Uganda.

The script I'm using there: https://github.com/PolyglotOpenstreetmap/Python-scripts-to-automate-JOSM/blob/master/UseWDTKtoCreateWDitems.py

Ik wil iets vergelijkbaars, maar dan als plugin voor onze JOSM editor dat door iedereen gebruikt kan worden en natuurlijk niet enkel voor scholen.

Tech News: 2018-11

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

• 3D models can now be uploaded to Commons. [19]
• Page Previews has been updated to use HTML for previews. This has fixed many issues. An A/B test was done on English and German Wikipedia to measure how it is used. Other changes were also made. [20]
• Some edits have to be checked against too many conditions before they can trigger an abuse filter. If that is the reason no filter is triggered the edit will be tagged for review. [21]
• Auto-saving has been added to the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. Right now it is meant to help if your browser crashes or if you accidentally close a tab. [22]

Problems

• The abuse filter did not tag all edits that should have been tagged after last week's MediaWiki version had come to the wikis. It was fixed on 9 March (UTC). [23]

Changes later this week

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. This was originally planned to happen last week. [24]
• It is now possible to specify the block parameters for each filter in Special:AbuseFilter. The parameters include block duration and if the user should be blocked from editing their own talk page. The block duration is separate for anonymous and registered users. [25][26]
• A hundred Wikimedia wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 13 and 14 March. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [27][28][29]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 March. It will be on all wikis from 15 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 13 March at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 14 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Sjabloon:Infobox plaats in land

Hoi, over deze terugdraaiing: kan je aangeven waar je hebt gemerkt dat het fout ging? –bdijkstra (overleg) 16 mrt 2018 09:33 (CET)

Hi bdijkstra, Er stond letterlijk in honderden infoboxen een foutmelding onder de kaartjes in de infoboxen. Romaine (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 16:02 (CET)

Ik heb een heel aantal artikelen gecheckt en het leek goed te gaan. Je hebt geen honderden infoboxen bekeken neem ik aan, dus hoe ben je daar achter gekomen? –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 16:06 (CET)

Ik zocht informatie over een bepaalde plaats, toen het me opviel dat er onder beide kaartjes die foutmelding stond. Deze infobox alleen al wordt krap 4000 keer gebruikt en ik heb toen een steekproef genomen op een serie artikelen en overal ging het met deze infobox fout. In enkelen willekeurige andere plaatsen die ik buiten België bekeek ging het ook fout.

Daarnaast is de constructie om parameters via deze manier te groeperen volgens mij een risicovolle. Als zoiets al nodig is, zou zoiets altijd in het moedersjabloon geregeld moeten worden, niet hier (de dochter). Romaine (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 16:18 (CET)

Ok bedankt. Toen ik mijn kladversie van Sjabloon:Infobox_plaats_in_land gebruikte in de infobox van Beringen-Mijn, ging het goed, dus het ligt aan de manier van doorgeven van de coördinaatparameters. Net even geprobeerd te groeperen in het moedersjabloon, maar dat ging ook fout. Heb je een idee hoe ik dit kan debuggen zonder tientallen sjablonen aan te maken in m'n eigen naamruimte? –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 20:07 (CET)

Stamboom2

Teststamboom 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.2 2.1.1 2.1.2 2.2

Hallo Romaine,

Sinds kort (afgelopen week vermoed ik) merk ik dat het sjbloon:Stamboom2 anders werkt, met name bij {{Stamboom2/einde aftakking}} en {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} als deze op elkaar volgen (zie code). Ik gebruik Google Chrome op Windows 10. Volgens mij zijn deze sjablonen echter de laatste tijd niet gewijzigd. Heb jij een idee waaraan dit ligt en of het verholpen kan worden? PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 11:29 (CET)

De sjablonen zijn inderdaad niet gewijzigd, en MediaWiki:Common.css ook niet, dus mogelijk heeft het iets te maken met het inschakelen van de nieuwe parser. De voorbeelden op Sjabloon:Stamboom2 zien er nog goed uit, dus ik vermoed een verkeerd gebruik wat met de oude parser niet opviel. –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 11:46 (CET)

Hallo Bdijkstra,
De voorbeelden op Sjabloon:Stamboom2 zijn te simpel om het probleem te laten zien. Het gaat fout als {{Stamboom2/einde aftakking}} en {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} elkaar volgen op opeenvolgende nieveaus of als ze volgen op {{Stamboom2/einde tak}}. Als ik deze twee vermijd, dan is er geen probleem, maar is de afbeelding geheel anders:

Teststamboom 1 hier ging het fout met {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.2 2.1 hier ging het fout met {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} 2.1.1 2.1.2 2.2

In ieder geval was de pagina Gebruiker:PAvdK/Kladblok/Domeinen supergroepen rijken eerst zonder fouten in de afbeeldingen, en nu zie ik her en der problemen. PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 13:15 (CET)

Zijn deze voorbeelden niet te simpel? –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 14:01 (CET)

Het gaat om de ongelabelde takken, als deze genest worden. Voorbeeld simpel (ongeneste takken):

• Een tak op het eerste niveau
  • • Een tak op het derde niveau (deze wordt hieronder vervangen door geneste takken)
    • Nog een tak op het derde niveau
    • De laatste tak op het derde niveau
  • Een tak op het tweede niveau
  • • Een tak op het derde niveau (deze wordt hieronder vervangen door geneste takken)
    • De laatste tak op het derde niveau

→ Voorbeeld met geneste, ongelabelde takken:

• Een tak op het eerste niveau
  • • • Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het fout)
      • Nog een tak op het vierde niveau
    • Nog een tak op het derde niveau
    • De laatste tak op het derde niveau
  • Een tak op het tweede niveau
  • • • Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het fout)
      • De laatste tak op het vierde niveau
    • De laatste tak op het derde niveau

Conclusie: soms gaat het goed, en soms ook niet bij ongelabelde, geneste takken (bv als {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} dubbel genest wordt gebruikt, of als {{Stamboom2/aftakking}} wordt genest in {{Stamboom2/einde aftakking}}. PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 14:33 (CET)

Gelukkig hebben ze op afwiki nog de oude parser, en ook deze sjablonen. Zo te zien is het probleem in ieder geval te omzeilen door geen sterretjes te gebruiken:

Een tak op het eerste niveau Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het foutgoed) Nog een tak op het vierde niveau Nog een tak op het derde niveau De laatste tak op het derde niveau Een tak op het tweede niveau Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het foutgoed) De laatste tak op het vierde niveau De laatste tak op het derde niveau

De nieuwe parser geeft vergelijkbare code, maar voegt om een of andere reden her en der <li class="mw-empty-elt"> </li> toe. –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 15:36 (CET)

Bedankt voor deze (hopelijk voorlopige) oplossing. Ik ken de tags weliswaar niet, maar goed spieken zal vast wel helpen. PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 16:22 (CET)

Worden deze dubbele geneste ongelabelde takken ook in artikelen gebruikt? –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 20:36 (CET)

Vooral in stambomen. Een willekeurig voorbeeld is de "Fylogenetische stamboom van de Archeophyta, vereenvoudigd schema" in het artikel Embryophyta#Geslachtelijke voortplanting. Dit soort stambomen zijn ook wel verwerkt in sjablonen. PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 21:05 (CET)

Voorbeeld Sjabloon:Stamboom van het cellulaire leven. PAvdK (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 21:06 (CET)

Romaine, denk je dat dit lokaal is op te lossen of is dit iets voor Phabricator? –bdijkstra (overleg) 17 mrt 2018 21:19 (CET)

Deze werkt wel goed op de Engelse WP

{{Tree list}}
* Een tak op het eerste niveau
** {{Tree list/branching}}
*** {{Tree list/branching}}
**** Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het fout)
**** {{Tree list/final branch}} Nog een tak op het vierde niveau
*** Nog een tak op het derde niveau
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} De laatste tak op het derde niveau
** Een tak op het tweede niveau
** {{Tree list/final branching}}
*** {{Tree list/branching}}
**** Een tak op het vierde niveau (hiervoor gaat het fout)
**** {{Tree list/final branch}} De laatste tak op het vierde niveau
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} De laatste tak op het derde niveau
{{Tree list/end}}

Er is wat met de parser, lijkt het mij. PAvdK (overleg) 18 mrt 2018 09:57 (CET)

Ik ben wel geïnteresseerd naar of en wat er achter de schermen gedaan wordt aan dit probleem (ITIL Problem Management). Of moet ik dit probleem bij de Helpdesk voorleggen? PAvdK (overleg) 21 mrt 2018 11:12 (CET)

Er zal denk ik nagekeken moeten worden wat de verschillen zijn met en-wiki, mogelijk een verschil in de common.js pagina aldaar. Romaine (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 02:39 (CEST)

Common.css bedoel je? Nee, dat is het niet. De nieuwe parser genereert extra lege <li>-elementen waardoor de first-child-selector in de CSS dat element pakt i.p.v. die daarna. Ik ken CSS niet goed genoeg om te beoordelen of dit via CSS is op te lossen. –bdijkstra (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 09:18 (CEST)

Wat ik bedoelde te zeggen, nl-wiki draait in principe op dezelfde software als en-wiki, zelfde versie. Dit behoudens ongelijktijdige updates. We hebben dit sjabloon overgenomen vanaf en-wiki, zij hebben ook meer mankracht om een oplossing te bedenken. Als het probleem op en-wiki niet speelt lijkt het me goed te bekijken waar dat verschil in zit. Of anders daar vragen of ze mogelijk weten waar het door komt. Romaine (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 10:55 (CEST)

Ik heb net verteld waar het verschil in zit. Op en-wiki zijn ze nog lang niet klaar voor de nieuwe parser. Maar wellicht geen slecht idee om daar te vragen, daar staan ze hetzelfde probleem te wachten. –bdijkstra (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 11:33 (CEST)

Aldaar gevraagd, zie en:Template_talk:Tree_list#Tree_list_will_break. –bdijkstra (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 12:45 (CEST)

 Uitgevoerd Gerepareerd met deze wijziging. Het kan nodig zijn om de browsercache van de pagina te verversen (meestal Ctrl+F5).

• Hartelijke dank voor de inzet; alles lijkt nu in orde voor zover ik heb gezien aan mijn pagina Gebruiker:PAvdK/Kladblok/Domeinen supergroepen rijken. Alleen hierboven, net onder het tussenkopje Stamboom2, lijkt het voor mij niet te kloppen. Ik heb geprobeerd de browsercache van de pagina te verversen (met Ctrl+F5), maar dat lijkt niet te helpen. Mvrgr, PAvdK (overleg) 6 apr 2018 21:08 (CEST)
  • Dat heeft nooit gewerkt en dat gaat ook nooit werken binnen de huidige opzet. Je kan geen horizontale lijnen maken, alleen T's, L'en en verticale lijnen. –bdijkstra (overleg) 6 apr 2018 21:28 (CEST)
    • Ik zie het. Bedankt. PAvdK (overleg) 6 apr 2018 21:35 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-13

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

• Some of the interface icons and text sizes will change slightly, as part of the updates for improved accessibility and consistency. These icons are used in many features, including Notifications, Recent Changes, Beta Features, Visual Editor, 2017 Wikitext Editor, Code Editor, and others. While editor toolbars, dialogs, and menus will appear slightly bigger; elements on special pages will be slightly smaller. Functionality will not change. [33] [34]
• The deprecated #toc and #toctitle CSS ids have been removed. If your wiki was still using these for fake Tables of Content (ToC) then these might lose their styling. They can be replaced with .toc and .toctitle classes where appropriate. [35]
• TemplateStyles will be deployed to the Wikivoyages on 28 March 2018. [36]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 March. It will be on all wikis from 29 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 27 March at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be one hour earlier than usual on 28 March at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• From 9 April, the sort order of categories will be distorted for a short time. We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a maintenance script to update existing database entries. This will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on wiki size. Read more details. [37]
• Changes are coming to search for Serbian projects. Cyrillic and Latin variants of a word and different grammatical forms of a word will be able to find each other. Read more on MediaWiki in Serbian or English.

Grasmarkt

Hallo Romaine, er bestaat ook een Grasmarkt in Luxembourg City. Misschien moet overwogen worden de naam van het lemma te wijzigen in Grasmarkt (Brussel). Wat denk je? Lotje (overleg) 27 mrt 2018 11:14 (CEST)

Hi Lotje, Letterlijk vertaald is in Luxemburg een straat met de naam: Grasmarktstraat. In Brussel heet het plein in het Nederlands: Grasmarkt. (Dat er mogelijk een vertaalinconsistentie bestaat in Brussel verklaart wellicht het verschil ten opzichte van het Frans.) Hernoemen lijkt me dus niet aan de orde. Romaine (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 02:43 (CEST)

Sjabloon

Hallo Romaine, aangezien ik een heel aantal jaren geleden ook al bij je terecht was gekomen in mijn zoektocht naar een werkend sjabloon, wou ik het deze keer weer proberen. Ik zou graag deze diagram willen bewerken en wel zodanig dat er begrippen in komen te staan. Precies zoals hier is gedaan dus. Alleen als ik dit kopieer gaat het hopeloos fout. Weet jij misschien hoe dit moet worden gedaan? M.v.g. «BKannen» 27 mrt 2018 21:47 (CEST)

Klusje van 2 minuten. Elk van de gebruikte sjablonen heeft een Nederlandse variant met exact dezelfde parameters. –bdijkstra (overleg) 27 mrt 2018 22:07 (CEST)

Bedankt! Daar had ik zelf nog niet aan gedacht. Pagina is nu aangemaakt, alleen nu is er een ongewenste scrolbalk zichtbaar aan de rechterzijde. Hoe krijg ik die dan weg? Edit: Die balk is nu weg, maar het sjabloon staat nu te ver naar links. Gr. «BKannen» 27 mrt 2018 23:17 (CEST)

Sjabloon:Afbeelding label begin is in de loop der tijd wat gaan afwijken van de Engelse variant. Dit heeft inderdaad wat ongewenste effecten. Misschien gewoon de Engelse versie (weer) importeren. –bdijkstra (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 00:03 (CEST)

Sjabloon hernoemd: navigatie is de balk onderaan, zijbalk een sjabloon rechts. Het sjabloon lijkt nu een ongelijk aantal div's te hebben, het begint met één div en in Afbeelding label eind zitten er twee. Of zie ik een div over het hoofd? Romaine (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 10:59 (CEST)

Inderdaad; opgelost. –bdijkstra (overleg) 28 mrt 2018 11:38 (CEST)

BTNI

Misschien kun je eens een babbel maken met jouw botje en hem uitleggen dat een wijziging zoals deze een pure BTNI-wijziging is en de zinloosheid ten top. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 09:37 (CEST)

Het gebruik van de parameter sectie= is onzinnig gebruik, hier in deze casus helemaal en wordt al vele jaren weggehaald. Daarom ook nu. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 09:40 (CEST)

Onzinnig is niet hetzelfde als foutief. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 10:08 (CEST)

Het is verkeerd gebruik van de betreffende parameter en wordt daarom aangepast. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 10:15 (CEST)

Dan kan je mij vast wel vertellen waar en wanneer afgesproken is dat dit botmatig opgelost moet worden. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 18:36 (CEST)

Waarom zou dat ergens "afgesproken" moeten worden? Het wijzigen van verkeerd gebruikte parameters kan, mits dat goed gebeurt, het beste met een bot om een zo groot mogelijke kwaliteit te krijgen. Handmatig corrigeren levert een groter risico op fouten op. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 18:42 (CEST)

Voor zo ver ik weet moeten bot-projecten door de gemeenschap goedgekeurd worden... The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 20:45 (CEST)

Als dat zo is kun je me vast ook de plek aanwijzen waar is afgesproken dat een bot spellingscorrecties kan uitvoeren, of dat bots links naar dooverwijspagina's oplossen, of dat bots verwijderde/hernoemde afbeeldingen weghalen/vervangen, of een van de tig andere taken die bots uitvoeren. De meeste van die taken zijn niet specifiek voor bots goedgekeurd door de gemeenschap, omdat er geen onderscheid gemaakt wordt tussen mensen of bots die deze wijzigingen doen.

Kun je me trouwens vertellen waar er afgesproken is dat gebruikers verkeerd gebruikte parameters in stand mogen houden, ook al is die gebruiker er op gewezen dat het foutief gebruik betreft? Bewust fouten introduceren is volgens mij niet de bedoeling. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 21:01 (CEST)

Verkeerd gebruik is niet per definitie fout. En je kan het geheel vinden in WP:BTNI, wat stelt: als het niet fout is, hoeft het niet gecorrigeerd te worden. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 21:34 (CEST)

(deze discussie werd genoemd op irc)

Ik ben blij dat Romaine dit soort dingen met een bot op orde houdt. Weet je wat pas zinloos? Deze hele discussie. Laat die bot gewoon z'n werk doen. Niets mis met deze bewerking. Enorm kinderachtig gedrag om de bewerking terug te draaien of probeer je soms weer een bewerkingsoorlog te starten? Multichill (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 21:43 (CEST)

(na bwc) Je kan dus geen afspraken aanhalen omdat je redenatie niet klopt, dank voor de bevestiging.

Dat iets wat verkeerd is, niet fout is is krom. Dat iets verkeerd is niet aangepast mag worden omdat The Banner het niet snapt, bv waarom verkeerd gebruik tot problemen kan leiden, tja... BTNI wordt te vaak aangehaald als motivatie wanneer iemand niets beters als reden kan bedenken, zo ook dus hier.

Een verbetering aanbrengen om sjablonen goed werkbaar te houden en het opruimen van loze parameters, dat is gewoon onderhoud. Dat is geen BTNI, het is een concrete verbetering. Fouten worden er daarbij uitgehaald in de werking van sjablonen en daardoor wordt het gemakkelijker sjablonen te gebruiken.

Echter dat ik je regelmatig de Appendix zie vervangen in References, dat is BTNI! Want die wijziging is puur gebaseerd op een smaakkwestie (afkeur van Appendix door jou). Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 21:44 (CEST)

BTNI wordt te vaak terzijde geschoven door hobbyisten die de regels maar lastig vinden. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 22:00 (CEST)

Ach wel ja, een jij-bak.

Een ander wijzen op BTNI, terwijl je er zelf schijt aan hebt, waarom val je dan anderen ermee lastig? En nogmaals, je redenatie is compleet onzin. Weet je waar onzin thuishoort? In de prullenbak.

Als iemand met serieuze feedback komt hoor ik dat graag en neem ik het ter harte. Dan ga ik er wel van uit dat diegene serieus zich verdiept in het onderwerp, serieuze argumenten aandraagt, dat doe je duidelijk niet. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 22:10 (CEST)

@The Banner: je bent met vuur aan het spelen. Je bent dit jaar al twee keer geblokkeerd wegens persoonlijke aanvallen. De volgende blokkade zal 1 week zijn. Wat denk jij @CaAl: ? Multichill (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 22:24 (CEST)

Tja, dreigen met blokkades is ook een manier om een discussie te beslechten. The Banner Overleg 30 mrt 2018 23:11 (CEST)

Tja, met buzzwoorden een discussie is ook een manier om een discussie te beslechten. Hint: werkt niet. Romaine (overleg) 30 mrt 2018 23:21 (CEST)

WP:BTNI is geen buzzword. The Banner Overleg 31 mrt 2018 10:04 (CEST)

Ik werd hierboven gepingd. Deze hele discussie is langs mij heengegaan, dus het voelt ongemakkelijk om nu mee te doen aan een soort van waarschuwing. Heel erg in het algemeen: The Banner komt geregeld te fel uit de hoek en is daar in het verleden meermaals voor geblokkeerd. Er bestaat een verhogingsregel, maar toepassing daarvan is niet verplicht. Als de bedoelde PA "hobbyisten" is: ik snap dat deze als vervelend wordt ervaren, maar om voor zoiets een blok te geven zou mij wel wat ver gaan. Tenzij, wellicht, het een terugkerend verwijt is (maar of dat zo is, weet ik niet, want de discussie ging langs mij heen.) CaAl (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 11:30 (CEST)

Tankmonumenten

Hoi Romaine,

Mag ik weten waarom je het monument Tankmonument 17pdr SP Achilles ook nog de desambiguatie (La Roche-en-Ardenne) hebt gegeven? En overigens hetzelfde hebt gedaan bij het monument Tankmonument M4A1 Sherman? Beide monumenten zijn uniek in hun naam. Dqfn13 (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 20:39 (CEST)

Ja, dat mag. Ik kwam er simpelweg niet uit welke naam ik er aan moest geven. Oorspronkelijk wilde ik Tankmonument (La Roche-en-Ardenne) aanmaken, maar toen bleken het er twee te zijn. "Tankmonument 17pdr SP Achilles" is denk ik niet de naam van het monument, eerder gewoon Tankmonument. Als je een suggestie hebt hoe ik tussen de twee monumenten in Roche beter onderscheid kan maken hoor ik het graag. Romaine (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 20:47 (CEST)

Tja, ik kom er niet vandaan... dus ik zou niet weten hoe die twee daar genoemd worden. Ik weet niet hoe ze in de bronnen genoemd worden, maar die namen zou je aan "moeten" houden. Dqfn13 (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 20:54 (CEST)

In de bronnen kom ik niet echt duidelijke namen tegen. Ik denk dat ik ga voor deze titel: Tankmonument (17pdr SP Achilles, La Roche-en-Ardenne) + Tankmonument (M4A1 Sherman, La Roche-en-Ardenne). Romaine (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 21:13 (CEST)

Die zijn hoe dan ook goed en ik denk ook wel iets logischer. Bedankt voor het meedenken en een hele fijne avond. Dqfn13 (overleg) 31 mrt 2018 21:22 (CEST)

Wikiproject Åland?

Hoi Romaine,

naar aanleiding van jouw tip daarnet om mijn bijdrage te melden op de lijst van Wikiproject België, vraag ik je advies. Ik ben al een paar jaar in mijn eentje gestaag aan het werken aan een eigen projectje over m'n lievelingslandje waar ik de komende zomer weer heen ga: Åland. Inmiddels heb ik ruim 60 artikelen aangemaakt, en enkele al bestande artikelen, waaronder het hoofdartikel drastisch verbeterd.
Nu is er op de Engelstalige Wikipedia een projectpagina over Åland: en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Åland Islands, waarop overigens niet bijzonder veel gebeurt.
Ik twijfel nu of ik op NL-WP ook een projectpagina zal aanmaken. Enerzijds geeft dat misschien wat bekendheid en misschien kan dat anderen triggeren. Anderzijds verwacht ik dat het toch vooral mijn eigen activiteit zal blijven, en de meeste mensen hebben niet eens van Åland gehoord. Wat is jouw advies? Erik Wannee (overleg) 1 apr 2018 18:10 (CEST)

Hi Erik Wannee, De meeste projecten op nl-wiki zijn niet echt levensvatbaar en dat komt voornamelijk door één enkel element: de beperkte opvang van de Nederlandstaligen in de wereld en daarmee ook op Wikipedia. Er zijn wel goedlopende projecten (geweest), maar de sleutelfactor is dat gebruikers elkaar echt gevonden hebben en vervolgens aan de slag zijn gegaan. Andere gebruikers vinden is lastig, ze actief erbij betrekken nog lastiger. En op Wikipedia bestaat een licht anarchistische cultuur, in andere woorden: "ik volg mijn eigen weg en niet dat van een ander". Echt samenwerken gaat daarom echt maar heel summier, de meesten zijn mijn inziens solisten (niets mis mee, ik hoopte alleen meer op mensen die meer gericht zijn op samenwerken). Als ik kijk naar mijn meest actieve project, Wikiproject België, dan ben ik erg blij met de samenwerking en de uitkomsten, maar eigenlijk had ik ze uitgebreider verwacht/gehoopt, zeker gezien de talrijke plekken waar ik het project kenbaar gemaakt heb. Net als met het Molenproject van jaren terug hoop ik stilletjes eigenlijk nog steeds op het vinden van andere gebruikers die in een bepaalde tijd als een soort taskforce zich heel specifiek richten op het oplossen van een lacune. Wat ik gisteren/vandaag grotendeels alleen deed: het beschrijven van alle tankmonumenten in België om zo met een onderwerpenserie compleetheid te krijgen. Ik heb het ooit eens eerder geprobeerd, maar dat is op niets uitgelopen. Maar er zijn wel projecten die succesvol zijn, maar ik denk dat dat steeds een toevalstreffer is geweest in de tijd, onderwerp en het maar net moeten weten dat het bezig is. Een echt bruisend project bestaat dus maar zelden, maar het bestaat af en toe. Mijn insteek is dat als de gelegenheid er toe is, die gebruiken, en anders niet. Ik denk dat voor een bruisend project gebruikers elkaar eerst moeten vinden met hetzelfde idee, en als ze elkaar gevonden hebben pas een project beginnen. Tijdens een project heb je dan meerdere gebruikers nodig die de anderen stimuleren zodat het actief blijft. België is nog een vrij groot onderwerp, Åland is echt een niche. Als je geen Åland-schrijvers kunt vinden, denk ik persoonlijk niet dat een project opzetten echt zinvol is. Sorry voor het pessimisme. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 1 apr 2018 18:39 (CEST)

Dankjewel voor je uitgebreide antwoord. Ik vind het niet pessimistisch; eerder realistisch. En het is me nu wel duidelijk dat het geen meerwaarde heeft om van een eenpersoons-project een Wikiproject te maken. Ik ga dus gewoon lekker verder op mijn eigen weg; dan is er ook niemand om conflicten mee te krijgen; dat heeft ook z'n voordelen.

Nog een paar maandjes en dan reis ik die kant weer uit, en neem mijn camera mee zodat ik de nodige foto's kan toevoegen aan de door mij geschreven artikelen.

Leuk trouwens dat de Belgische tankmonumenten mooi in de doelstelling van het Belgiëproject pasten. Dat zal niet gelden voor de honderden andere tankmonumenten in Rusland, Duitsland, de VS, Frankrijk etc. etc. Groet, Erik Wannee (overleg) 1 apr 2018 21:44 (CEST)

Een succesvol project heeft een duidelijke einddoelstelling, een duidelijke afbakening dus. Door een duidelijke afbakening kan een onderwerpenserie volledig beschreven worden en dat houdt de motivatie op peil. Romaine (overleg) 1 apr 2018 22:43 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-14

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

• Template Wizard script available for testing. It will show up as a puzzle-piece icon in the 2010 WikiEditor. You can click on the icon to insert a template.
• The Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey is to be sent to participants around the world this week. If you are volunteer developer, and have contributed code to any pieces of MediaWiki, gadgets, or tools, please take 20 to 40 minutes to complete the survey.

Problems

• MediaWiki deployment train has been rolled back to version 1.31.0-wmf.26 on week 13, due to a multiplication of lost connections during MySQL queries. Some of the recent changes may have not been applied. They will be deployed next week. [38][39][40]
• The Notifications badge icons were overlapping other links. This has been fixed. [41]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 April. It will be on all wikis from 5 April (calendar).
• User subpages ending in .json will now be protected from other people editing them, like .js and .css pages already are. If you have a tool that stores static configuration, you can now use a subpage like User:Example/mygadget.json to do this without concerns. [42]
• Tidy will be replaced by RemexHtml on the next set of wikis. On April 4, we plan to turn off Tidy on all Wikiquotes (except frwikiquote) and Wikimedia chapters and user groups wikis. 23 wikis will have Tidy replaced this time. [43][44][45]
• AbuseFilter will transition to use OOUI starting April 4, and the rule editor will also be changed to a CodeEditor (ACE) similar to what is found on user JavaScript pages. The move to OOUI will continue over the next few weeks. [46] [47]
• In Special:Preferences, the preference "De volglijst automatisch herladen wanneer er een filter wordt veranderd (JavaScript vereist)" is now only visible for users who have opt-out the New Filters for the Watchlist. [48]
• You can see names of individual abuse filters in Special:AbuseLog. Now if the name of an abuse filter contains some wikisyntax like links, it will not change to a link when displayed. [49]
• You can now search through filter patterns at Special:AbuseFilter. You may specify either a plain string or a regular expression and the matching filters will show a snippet of their pattern with the match highlighted. [50]

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 3 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 4 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• If you're using, creating or improving Lua modules, you can give your feedback to help harmonizing the modules across wikis and add more useful functions.
• On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with less than 50 entries in all high priority linter categories. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml by end of June 2018. Please follow T175706 to monitor progress of Tidy replacement. [51][52]

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Spring 2018

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Several Commons community members are working on ways to integrate Wikidata in Wikimedia Commons. While this is not full-fledged structured data yet, this work helps to prepare for future conversion of data, and helps to understand how Wikidata and Commons can work better together.
  • Thanks to Jarekt and other contributors, some Commons templates can now be filled via Wikidata: {{Creator}} (Phabricator) and {{Institution}} (Phabricator). Work is ongoing on the {{Artwork}} template (Phabricator).
  • Thanks to Mike Peel and others, Wikidata-powered infoboxes can now be added to Commons categories, with the template {{Wikidata Infobox}}. (Example)
  • Multichill is working on an experimental workflow to upload images to Commons via Wikidata (and using metadata from Wikidata). See a part of it here.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• Conversation about licensing and copyright modeling.
• High-level discussion on ontology for Commons.
• Review first designs for multilingual captions.
• IRC office hour, 13 February

Events

• Wikimedia Conference, Berlin, 20-22 April (+ Learning Days 18-19 April): several sessions and workshops around Structured Commons
• EuropeanaTech Conference, Rotterdam, 15-16 May: several presentations + a full workshop day on Monday 14 May about Wikidata and Structured Commons
• Wikimedia Hackathon, Barcelona, 18-20 May: Structured Commons as a focus area.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!

Research

• The research about GLAM contributions to Wikimedia Commons is concluded. A blog post on the Wikimedia blog provides a summary, and you can read the full results on meta.wikimedia.org.

Tech News: 2018-15

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

• Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [53]
• You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [54]
• The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [55]
• Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [56]

Problems

• The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [57]
• For a week in March rollbacks got both the rollback and the undo tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [58]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 April. It will be on all wikis from 12 April (calendar).
• Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. [59]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

Tech News: 2018-16

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

• Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [60]
• Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (=== and !==) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [61][62]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 April. It will be on all wikis from 19 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 17 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new PDF renderer could not create PDFs from books. Books are in this case collections of pages on a Wikimedia wiki. PediaPress will take over development of the books-to-PDF function. [63]
• Pywikibot will no longer support Python 2.7.2 and 2.7.3. [64]
• Volunteer developers can fill out the Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey. The last day is April 22 (UTC). This is a third-party service survey. See the privacy statement.

Crystal houses

Romaine, heb ik eindelijk de telefoon overgezet, staat het gebouw Crystal houses alweer in de steigers....Ceescamel (overleg) 17 apr 2018 15:52 (CEST)

Balen, ik heb twee jaar geleden een foto van dat pand gemaakt en daarna van mijn telefoon verwijderd omdat ik de foto niet goed genoeg vond (het was vrij donker door de regen). Dqfn13 (overleg) 17 apr 2018 18:06 (CEST)

Ik denk dat het binnenkort wel weer vrij gegeven wordt. Vermoedelijk moet de Chanelreclame eruit en dan is de gevel weer zichtbaar, maar om nou zo'n lelijke afscherming te zetten voor een mooi afwijkend gebouw is toch ook cultuurbarbarij.Ceescamel (overleg) 17 apr 2018 21:28 (CEST)

Ik ben er met mijn collega's van Bureau Erfgoed geweest, wij zijn dus allemaal erfgoedliefhebbers, maar voor deze moderne manier konden wij toch massaal waardering uitspreken. Ik vind het een hele bijzondere manier om een oud gebouw weer helemaal van deze tijd te maken. Dqfn13 (overleg) 17 apr 2018 22:00 (CEST)

Gewenste sub-sjablonen ICD-9-CM en ICD-10-PCS

Dag Romaine,

In de sectie WP:Gewenste artikelen/Geneeskunde heb ik al een tijdje geledenhet verzoek voor deze lemma's én (sub)sjablonen opgenomen, voor gebruik in het Sjabloon:Infobox medische ingreep; zoals ICD-9 en ICD-10 de aandoeningen classificeren, classificeren ICD-9-CM (en) en ICD-10-PCS (en) (eventuele bijbehorende) behandelingen (of medische ingrepen in het algemeen). (D.w.z. strikt genomen heb ik daar alleen om de artikelen over die classificatie verzocht, maar in het verlengde van het verzoek ligt de vraag om ze ook als velden in de "medische ingreep"-infobox op te nemen op eenzelfde manier als ICD-9 en ICD-10 nu in de "aandoening"-infobox zijn geïmplementeerd.)
We missen weliswaar helaas ook nog steeds de lemma's over deze coderingen zelf, maar er is ook (nog) geen 'correct' sub-, codering- of invul-sub-sjabloon voor in de infobox "medische ingreep"; tot op heden is het 'opgelost' doordat dit nu vrij in te vullen velden (zonder formaatrestricties) in dat sjabloon zijn (uiteraard met een field heading die dan een rode link is, zoals bijvoorbeeld te zien is in het artikel carpaletunnelrelease waar deze velden gebruikt/ingevuld zijn (maar de ingevulde waarde is nu gewoon zwarte tekst, en genereert geen hyperlink naar de database met behandelingen/ingrepen (zoals ICD-9 en ICD-10 dat in de aandoening-infobox dat wel doen. Denk je dat jij dit kunt oplossen zodat het wel (werkende) links genereert zoals op de ENWP (zie het "medical intervention"-infobox-sjabloon aldaar: 'Template:Infobox medical intervention' als eventueel voorbeeld)? (En dan eventuele artikelen waar het veld is ingevuld – dat zullen er niet veel zijn verwacht ik – zonodig aanpassen (omdat daar, indien gebruikt, nu een vrije waarde in staat). Alvast bedankt, -- martix (overleg) 23 apr 2018 13:05 (CEST)

Romaine, het bovenstaande verzoek is grotendeels achterhaald nu Bdijkstra de gewenste hulpsjablonen inmiddels bij de velden heeft geïmporteerd, en alleen de documentatie over het gebruik van deze hulpsjablonen ontbreekt nog zoals hij op de overlegpagina schrijft, of feitelijk ontbreekt alle documentatie/uitleg van het sjabloon en de afzonderlijke velden; alleen template dat overgenomen moet worden staat er vermeld en meer ook niet, maar dat is ook misschien meer aan een medicus om (alle velden) toe te lichten. Met vriendelijke groet -- martix (overleg) 23 apr 2018 20:01 (CEST)

Greetings,

Vraagje

Hi Romaine heb jij enig idee waarom hier de referenties onderaan bij de bronvermelding niet in twee kolommen komen te staan? Volgend het {sjabloon:Appendix} zou het moeten werken... Groetjes, Bart -B kimmel (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:05 (CEST)

Op sjabloon:References staat: "N.B.: in sommige browsers, waaronder bepaalde versies van Internet Explorer, werkt dit niet." Dus vandaar. –bdijkstra (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:16 (CEST)

Vreemd want tot vorige week werkte het wel. Maar ik zie dat op mijn Ipad wel kolommen worden getoond, dus je hebt idd gelijk. Is er echt geen manier om dit te overrulen? Met name bij artikelen met veel referenties zoals monarchvlinder vind ik dit zeer storend. Groetjes, Bart -B kimmel (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:24 (CEST)

Ik vind referenties in kolommen erg storend. 't Is dus maar hoe je ertegenaan kijkt WIKIKLAAS overleg 25 apr 2018 22:28 (CEST)

Lang, heel lang geleden ben ik opgehouden me af te vragen waarom Microsoft-producten soms niet kunnen wat alle concurrerende producten wel kunnen. –bdijkstra (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:34 (CEST)

Nou ik heb al tijden Mozilla FF, dus daar ligt het niet aan. -B kimmel (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:38 (CEST)

Ah, maar dat verandert de zaak. Het blijkt door mijn toedoen te komen. Ik heb het hersteld. –bdijkstra (overleg) 25 apr 2018 22:57 (CEST)

Ik weet niet wat je hebt gedaan want ik heb geen verstand van die codes, maar het werkt weer! Heel erg bedankt voor de aanpassing! Groetjes, Bart -B kimmel (overleg) 26 apr 2018 10:20 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-18

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 parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [68]

Problems

• We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [69]

Changes later this week

• You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [70]
• When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [71]
• You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the Bewerken section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [72]
• There is a new abuse filter function called equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 2 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jharewikimedia.org to leave private feedback.
• All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [73][74][75]

Tech News: 2018-22

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

• You can now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [83][84]
• It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [85]
• Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words.
• There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [86]
• Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [87]
• There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [88]

Problems

• Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [89]

Changes later this week

• There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [90]
• A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [91]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 May. It will be on all wikis from 31 May (calendar).
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [92]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 29 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 30 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Content Translation drafts which have not been updated in over a year will be removed. This allows other users to translate those articles. [93]
• A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [94]
• Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. [95][96]

even iets lastigs op en-wiki m.b.t. een Maastricht-student

Dag Romaine,

iemand heeft bedacht dat de sandbox van één van de studenten verplaatst moest worden naar de Draft-naamruimte. Vervolgens heeft iemand anders het artikel beoordeeld, en te licht bevonden. Ik snap hier niks van. Ik probeer dit te herstellen, maar dat lukt me nog niet. Zie: en:User_talk:CASSIOPEIA#Moved_draft. Wil jij hier je licht eens over laten schijnen? Graag. Groet, --Dick Bos (overleg) 31 mei 2018 22:10 (CEST)

• Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [98][99]
• Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [100]

Problems

• You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them.
• MassMessage did not work 24–28 May. This is also why last week's Tech News was late. [101]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 June. It will be on all wikis from 7 June (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 5 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 6 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This is planned to happen in June or early July. [102][103]

Tech News: 2018-24

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

• In the Wikipedia app for Android or iOS users can create reading lists. The reading lists can be seen on different devices if you are logged in to your account. There is now a browser extension so you can add pages to your reading list from a web browser. At the moment it works with Firefox and Chrome. [104]
• There is a new version of Pywikibot. Pywikibot is a tool to automate tasks on MediaWiki wikis. [105]

Problems

• The MonoBook skin was changed to make it work better for mobile users. This caused some problems. The change was rolled back to fix them. The new version is now back on the wikis. MonoBook users can opt out from the new responsive design. [106]

Changes later this week

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. For most wikis this will happen on 18 June. For the rest it will happen on 25 June. [107][108]

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 June. It will be on all wikis from 14 June (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the Readers Web team IRC office hour. There you can discuss tools to contribute on the mobile web for the existing MediaWiki skins. The meeting will be on 18 June at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• You will be able to move local wiki files to Commons and keep their original data intact. This is planned to come to the first wikis in June.

Tech News: 2018-25

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

• Syntax highlighting has been a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It is now a normal feature. It is based on CodeMirror. [109]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 19 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Some old web browsers will not be able to read the Wikimedia wikis. This is because they use an insecure way to connect to them. This means that we get less security for everyone else too. This affects about 0.08% of all traffic to the Wikimedia wikis. This affects for example those who read Wikipedia on a PlayStation 3. [110][111]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. Because there is no new MediaWiki version this week it will happen on 25 June for most wikis. For the rest it will happen in early July. [112][113]
• All wikis that have not already done so will switch to use the Remex parsing library on 5 July. This is to replace Tidy. You can help fix remaining errors. [114]

What properties does Commons need?

Greetings,

Structured Commons will need properties to make statements about files. The development team is working on making the software ready to support properties; the question is, what properties does Commons need?

You can find more information and examples to help find properties in a workshop on Commons. Please participate and help fill in the list, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 28 jun 2018 20:53 (CEST)

Feedback: historical book review

Dear Romaine,

I would kindly like to ask you if you can provide me with some feedback for my Wikipedia article for the historical book review. Especially with the quotations, I am not sure if I incorporated the references correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Animuscerritus/sandbox&action=edit&section=1

Thank you very much and see you next Monday,

kind regards,

Corinna

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Summer 2018

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Since our last newsletter, the Structured Data team has moved into designing and building prototypes for various features. The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• A workshop on what Wikidata properties Commons will need. This workshop will be open for the entire month of July 2018 at minimum.

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.

• The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
• In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
• A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
• There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.

Wikimania 2018

• Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
  • Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
  • Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
  • Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
• Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!
• Structured Data on Commons was presented to GLAM audiences during EuropeanaTech 2018 in Rotterdam (15 May 2018) and at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek Forum in Berlin (4 June 2018).

Research

Two research projects about Wikimedia Commons are currently ongoing, or in the process of being finished:

1. Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

Development

• Prototypes will be available for Depicts soon.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Join the next IRC office hour and ask questions to the team! The date for next quarter will be announced soon.

Structured Data Newsletter - Research link fix

Greetings,

The newsletter omitted two interwiki prefixes, breaking the links on non-meta wikis as you might see above. Here are the correct links:

1. m:Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. m:Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

My apologies, I hope you find the corrected links helpful.

Verborgen weesjes

Hallo Romaine,

Ik zou graag even je aandacht willen vragen voor zogenaamde "verborgen weesjes" waarvan we er steeds meer krijgen op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia.

We merken het op bij het Gendergap schrijfproject en de schrijfweken: mensen denken eraan om hun nieuw geschreven pagina bij de resultaten van het project te zetten, maar vergeten om het artikel vanaf andere pagina's te linken. Daarmee wordt het een verborgen wees: het artikel komt namelijk niet in de lijst van weespagina's, omdat het artikel 1 link heeft (namelijk de resultatenlijst). Vanuit de hoofdnaamruimte is er echter geen enkel artikel dat naar dit nieuwe lemma linkt.

Ik weet niet in hoeverre dit ook speelt bij de schrijfweken die jij samen met Taketa organiseert, maar wilde je er graag op attenderen dat wij als werkgroep dit signaleren en er extra aandacht voor vragen de komende tijd. Als je ook nog ideeën hebt waarmee we dit op een speelde manier op kunnen lossen, horen we graag van je.

Vriendelijke groet, namens de werkgroep, Ciell 7 jul 2018 14:08 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-28

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

• WebM video files have smaller file size but still be of the same quality. Creating WebM files will take longer time. [120]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This was supposed to already have happened but was delayed. For most wikis this will happen on 9 July. For the rest it will happen on 16 July. [121]
• All wikis now use the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy. This could cause errors. You can help fix the errors. [122]

Problems

• When you rolled back an edit it could get both the Rollback and Undo tags. This has been fixed. [123]
• Rollbacks from autopatrolled users were not marked as patrolled. This has been fixed. [124]

Changes later this week

• When you edit a link in the visual editor there will be two separate buttons to change which page the link goes to (target) or its text (label). [125][126]
• On the mobile version you can find a link to an editor's contributions from their user page. Now this will work even if they haven't created a user page. [127]
• When you edit a discussion on the mobile version you sometimes get your signature automatically added. This will now not happen if you have already added a signature manually. This is to avoid double signatures. [128]
• Structured discussions toolbars will have more style options. [129]
• When you look at Wikimedia code in Gerrit there will be a new interface. It is on by default for new users. This is also true for developers. This is to make it easier to understand what is happening. [130]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 July. It will be on all wikis from 12 July (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 July at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 July at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Today all administrators can edit CSS and JavaScript for the entire wiki. There will be a new user group for editing CSS and JavaScript. Administrators will no longer automatically be able to do this. This is because it is a security risk when all administrator accounts can edit JavaScript even if they never plan to or do not know how it works. You can read more. [131]
• Page previews will be on by default for new accounts. [132]

vernieuwingen lijst van gemeentelijke monumenten in Gouda

hallo Romaine, zou je kunnen kijken naar de lijsten van Gemeentelijke monumenten in Gouda. De gemeente Gouda is met een vernieuwde lijst gekomen. https://www.gouda.nl/Inwoners/Sport_en_Cultuur/Wij_Ons_erfgoed_NU en zie dan de link gemeentelijk erfgoedregister. Op de oude lijst staat bijvoorbeeld: Achter de Kerk 2a, Korte Tiendeweg 22, met de monumentnummers 0513/330a en 0513/3330b op twee regels. Op de aangepaste lijsten wordt dat dan 0513/330. Ken je een tooltje waarmee de lijsten kunnen worden aangepast? Fijn zou zijn als dan gelijk in kolom 1 wordt vermeld wat het is, bijv. een kerk. Als het kan wil je dan de Lijst van gemeentelijke monumenten in Gouda/Josephbuurt niet terug brengen naar 1 regel maar per straat (7 stuks) zie Category:Josephbuurt (Gouda)). Mvg Agaath (overleg) 10 jul 2018 17:07 (CEST)
