* The tool to [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Finding and inserting templates|find, add and remove templates]] was updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It was supposed to come to the first wikis on 7 July. It was delayed to 12 July instead. It will come to more wikis later this year. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Removing_a_template_from_a_page_using_the_VisualEditor][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284553] |
|||
* [[Special:UnconnectedPages|Special:UnconnectedPages]] lists pages that are not connected to Wikidata. This helps you find pages that can be connected to Wikidata items. Some pages should not be connected to Wikidata. You can use the magic word <code><nowiki>__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__</nowiki></code> on pages that should not be listed on the special page.

- @Goresm, अभय नातू, Sandesh9822, आणि Saudagar abhishek: ही मूलभूत कल्पना आहे, बॉट या विकिपीडियावरील सर्वे पृष्ठांवर क्रॉल करेल, जर लेखात माहितीचौकट नसल्याचे ट्रिगर झाले तर बॉट माहितीचौकात नसलेले लेख हा वर्ग जोडेल.आपण नंतर हे सर्वे पृष्ठ माहितीचौकात नसलेले लेख या सूचीमध्ये भागू शकतो Rockpeterson (चर्चा) १८:०१, २ मार्च २०२१ (IST)

सांगकाम्या (बॉट) चालवून माहितीचौकट घालणे शक्य आहे परंतु सगळ्या लेखांमध्ये माहितीचौकट पाहिजेच असे नाही. शिवाय अनेक लेखांमध्ये तत्सम साचे आहेत, उदा. {{क्रिकेटपटू}}. तरी एकूण लेखांमधील एक-एक वर्ग घेउन त्यांवर हा सांगकाम्या चालवावा - उदा. मराठी लेखक किंवा दागिने, इ. -- अभय नातू (चर्चा) ०६:४८, ८ मार्च २०२१ (IST)

Wikimedia Foundation Community Board seats: Call for feedback meeting
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is organizing a call for feedback about community selection processes between February 1 and March 14. While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the movement’s diversity. Direct elections tend to favor candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member, or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Western Europe. As a matter of fact, there had only been one member who served on the Board, from South Asia, in more than fifteen years of history.
In the upcoming months, we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community members in the new seats. This call for feedback is to see what processes can we all collaboratively design to promote and choose candidates that represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and insight to perform as trustees? In this regard, it would be good to have a community discussion to discuss the proposed ideas and share our thoughts, give feedback and contribute to the process. To discuss this, you are invited to a community meeting that is being organized on March 12 from 8 pm to 10 pm, and the meeting link to join is https://meet.google.com/umc-attq-kdt. You can add this meeting to your Google Calendar by clicking here. Please ping me if you have any questions. Thank you. --User:KCVelaga (WMF), १६:००, ८ मार्च २०२१ (IST)

- New JavaScript-based functions will not work in Internet Explorer 11. This is because Internet Explorer is an old browser that doesn't work with how JavaScript is written today.

Problems
- You will be able to read but not edit twelve wikis for a short period of time on २३ मार्च at 06:00 (UTC). This can also affect password changes, logging in to new wikis, global renames and changing or confirming emails. This could take 30 minutes but will probably be much faster.
Changes later this week

- Because of a technical change there could be problems with gadgets and scripts that have an edit summary area that looks similar to this one. If they look strange they should use
mw.loader.using('mediawiki.action.edit.styles')

पान अर्धसुरक्षित करणे बाबत
नमस्कार, सध्या विकिपीडियावर युवा चित्रपट अभिनेत्यांच्या पानावर उत्पात माजलाय. विविध ip ॲडड्रेस वरून पानात काही विशिष्ट बदल होत आहेत, जसे की, चित्र आकार बदलणे, multiple images साचा लावून अनेक संचिका चढवणे. काही उदाहरणे शाहिद कपूर, कार्तिक आर्यन, रणबीर कपूर, रितेश देशमुख, वरुण धवन, सिद्धार्थ मल्होत्रा, आयुष्मान खुराणा, आदित्य रॉय कपूर, अर्जुन कपूर, टायगर श्रॉफ, इत्यादी. तेव्हा विनंती आहे की, या व इतर पानांना अर्ध सुरक्षित करावे.
- चित्रदालन लेखात खाली असावे. माहितीचौकट नसावे. जास्त लेख सुरक्षित करता येणार नाही. जर एक IP द्वारे उत्पात होत आहेत आपण त्याला अवरोधित करू शकतो--Tiven2240 (चर्चा) १५:१९, १ मे २०२१ (IST) --Tiven2240 (चर्चा) १५:१९, १ मे २०२१ (IST)
ठीक आहे
कृपया हे पहा. या ip ॲड्रेस वरून पुन्हा तोच प्रपंच चालू आहे.
- अशा पानांची यादी केल्यास तात्पुरते अंकपत्त्यांवरुन सुरक्षित करता येईल.
- धन्यवाद.

- 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.

- 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. [५६][५७][५८]
- 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 findBędusz
on German Wikipedia. The characterę
isn't used in German so many would writee
instead. This will work better in the future in some languages. [५९] - 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. [६०][६१]

- 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. [६८]

Editing news 2021 #2
इतर भाषेत वाचा • या बहुभाषीक वार्तापत्रासाठीची वर्गणीदारांची यादी
Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
याचे मुख्य परिणाम होते:
- Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
- The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
हे परिणाम संपादन कार्यसंघाला आत्मविश्वास देतात की हे साधन उपयुक्त आहे.
पुढे पहाता
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Special:EditGrowthConfig
. [७५] - Wikisources have a new OCR tool. If you don't want to see the "extract text" button on Wikisource you can add
.ext-wikisource-ExtractTextWidget { display: none; }
to your common.css page. [७६]
Problems
- You will be able to read but not edit the Wikimedia wikis for a few minutes on 29 June. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. [७७][७८]
Changes later this week

Threshold for stub link formatting
,thumbnail size
andauto-number headings
can be set in preferences. They are expensive to maintain and few editors use them. The developers are planning to remove them. Removing them will make pages load faster. You can read more and give feedback.- A toolbar will be added to the Reply tool's wikitext source mode. This will make it easier to link to pages and to ping other users. [७९][८०]

- AutoWikiBrowser is a tool to make repetitive tasks easier. It now uses JSON.
Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage
has moved toWikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON
andWikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Config
.Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version
has moved toWikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/VersionJSON
. The tool will eventually be configured on the wiki so that you don't have to wait until the new version to add templates or regular expression fixes. [८१]
Problems
- InternetArchiveBot helps saving online sources on some wikis. It adds them to Wayback Machine and links to them there. This is so they don't disappear if the page that was linked to is removed. It currently has a problem with linking to the wrong date when it moves pages from
archive.is
toweb.archive.org
. [८२]
Changes later this week
- The tool to find, add and remove templates will be updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It will come to the first wikis on 7 July. It will come to more wikis later this year. [८३][८४]
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- Some Wikimedia wikis use Flagged Revisions or pending changes. It hides edits from new and unregistered accounts for readers until they have been patrolled. The auto review action in Flagged Revisions will no longer be logged. All old logs of auto-review will be removed. This is because it creates a lot of logs that are not very useful. [८५]
