Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
Letzte Änderungen
- Webbrowser können sogenannte Erweiterungen verwenden. Es gibt jetzt eine Chrome-Erweiterung namens Citation Needed, mit der du prüfen kannst, ob eine Aussage im Internet durch einen Wikipedia-Artikel gestützt wird. Dies ist ein kleines Experiment, um zu sehen, ob Wikipedia auf diese Weise verwendet werden kann. Da es sich nur um ein Experiment handelt, kann es in Chrome ausschließlich auf Englisch verwendet werden.
- Eine neue Funktion zur Wiederherstellung von Bearbeitungen wurde in allen Wikis bereitgestellt und ist als Benutzereinstellung verfügbar. Sobald du diese Funktion aktivierst, werden deine laufenden Bearbeitungen in deinem Webbrowser gespeichert. Wenn du versehentlich ein Bearbeitungsfenster schließt oder dein Browser oder Computer abstürzt, wirst du aufgefordert, den nicht gespeicherten Text wiederherzustellen. Bitte hinterlasse Rückmeldungen auf der Diskussionsseite des Projekts. Dieser Wunsch belegte Platz 8 in der Umfrage zur Community-Wunschliste 2023.
- Erste Ergebnisse des Experiments zur Bearbeitungsprüfung wurden veröffentlicht. Die Bearbeitungsprüfung wird nun als Standardfunktion in den Wikis, die sie getestet haben, eingesetzt. Lass uns wissen, wenn dein Wiki Teil der nächsten Einführung der Bearbeitungsprüfung sein soll. [4][5]
- Leser, die den Minerva-Skin auf Mobilgeräten verwenden, werden feststellen, dass die Zeilenhöhe in allen Typografieeinstellungen verbessert wurde. [6]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 9 April verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 10 April. Auf allen Wikis ab 11 April (Kalender). [7][8]
- Neue Konten und nicht angemeldete Benutzer erhalten den VisualEditor als Standardeditor auf Mobilgeräten. Diese Einführung erfolgt in allen Wikis außer der englischsprachigen Wikipedia. [9]

[14]
- Eine neue Variable
page_last_edit_age
wird zu den Missbrauchsfiltern hinzugefügt. Sie gibt an, vor wie vielen Sekunden die letzte Bearbeitung an einer Seite vorgenommen wurde. [15]

Tool of the week
- Wikidata periodic table - Tool by User:Ricordisamoa, to browse all chemical elements available on Wikidata, with atomic number, chemical symbol, and localized label. It also includes two charts of the nuclides, with links to every isotope in Wikidata, colored by half-life or decay mode.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
- A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool. Some experience with editing Wikidata is appreciated, but no experience working with Schemas is required. If you are interested, you can sign up here. We hope to begin interviews around May 13. For more details, visit User:M.alten.tue

Technische Neuigkeiten: 2024-20
Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
Letzte Änderungen
- Auf Wikisource gibt es eine Spezialseite zur Auflistung von Seiten von Werken ohne zugehörige Bilder von Scans. Du kannst nun das neue magische Wort
__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__
nutzen, um bestimmte Seiten (Liste von Ausgaben oder Übersetzungen eines Werkes) von dieser Liste auszuschließen. [41] - Wenn du die Benutzereinstellung "Vorschau ohne Neuladen der Seite anzeigen" nutzt, wird die Funktion "Vorschau der Seite mit dieser Vorlage anzeigen" für Vorlagen auch funktionieren, ohne die Seite neu zu laden. [42]
- Kartographer-Karten können nun über das Attribut
alt=
einen alternativen Text angeben. Dies ist identisch zur Nutzung des Attributsalt=
in der Syntax für Bilder und Galerien. Eine Ausnahme für diese Funktion sind Wikis wie Wikivoyage, bei denen die Miniaturkarten interaktiv sind. [43] - Die alte Guided Tour für die "Neuen Filter zur Bearbeitungsüberprüfung" wurde entfernt. Sie wurde 2017 erstellt, um Personen mit älteren Konten zu zeigen, wie sich die Benutzeroberfläche geändert hat und wurde nun von den meisten Personen aus der Zielgruppe gesehen. [44]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab dem 14. Mai verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 15. Mai. Auf allen Wikis ab dem 16. Mai (Kalender). [45][46]
- Die Ergebnisseite für Spezial:Suche wird nun zur besseren Zugänglichkeit CSS-Flex-Attribute statt einer Tabelle verwenden. Wenn du ein Helferlein oder Skript hast, das Suchergebnisse anpasst, solltest du dein Skript auf die neue HTML-Struktur anpassen. [47]
Zukünftige Änderungen
- Im Skin Vector 2022 werden Hauptseiten (wie Spezialseiten) in ganzer Breite angezeigt. Das Ziel ist, die Anzahl von Zeichen je Zeile groß genug zu halten. Dies steht in Zusammenhang mit den kommenden Typografieänderungen in Vector 2022. Mehr erfahren. [48]
- Zwei Spalten der Datenbanktabelle
pagelinks
(pl_namespace
undpl_title
) werden bald abgeschafft. Benutzer müssen stattdessen zwei Spalten der neuen Tabellelinktarget
nutzen (lt_namespace
undlt_title
). In vorhandenen SQL-Abfragen:JOIN pagelinks
durchJOIN linktarget
undpl_
durchlt_
in der AussageON
ersetzen- Darunter
JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
hinzufügen
- Siehe phab:T222224 für den technischen Grund. [49][50]

Letzte Änderungen
- Die Funktion Massenlöschung, mit der Administratoren massenhaft Seiten löschen können, wird nun auch Seiten löschen, die verschoben wurden. [51]

- Das HTML, das zur Darstellung aller Überschriften verwendet wird, wird geändert, um die Zugänglichkeit zu verbessern. Es wird am 22. Mai in einigen Skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia und Monobook) geändert. Bitte teste Helferleins in deinem Wiki mit diesen Skins und melde alle damit verbundenen Probleme, damit sie behoben werden können, bevor diese Änderung in allen anderen Skins vorgenommen wird. Die Entwickler erwägen auch die Einführung einer Gadget-API zum Hinzufügen von Schaltflächen zu Abschnittsüberschriften, wenn dies für Ersteller von Werkzeugen hilfreich wäre, und würden sich über jeden Input freuen, den du dazu hast.

- Blogs
- Wikidata to split as sheer volume of information overloads infrastructure, by Bluerasberry. "The split will create a WikiCite graph separate from the main Wikidata graph. The main Wikidata graph will retain content of broader interest, including items for authors, journals, publishers, and anything with a page in a Wikimedia project."
- Learnings from AI and Heritage inclusive Metadata requires more than erasing stereotyping terms - this article explores the presence of contentious terms in Wikidata labels.

- Camillo Carlo Pellizzari di San Girolamo, Storia della collaborazione tra Wikidata e le biblioteche della Rete URBE nel controllo di autorità. Abstract: "The contribution draws a history of the presence of the identifiers of the authority records of the URBE network libraries in Wikidata, and of the collaboration that has evolved since 2020 between the Wikidata community and the cataloguers of the URBE network libraries, relating to the harmonisation of these authority records with Wikidata and the improvement of the quality of the respective data. The first part of the contribution traces the main stages of collaboration in chronological order, while the second part of the contribution presents the main areas in which the collaboration materialises (or can materialise) in the daily authority work carried out by cataloguers in theme-based groupings".
- Using Open Data to Automatically Generate Localized Analogies. Numerical analogies that translate unfamiliar measurements into familiar reference objects (e.g., “275k sq miles is roughly as large as Texas”). By "Sofia Eleni Spatharioti, Daniel G. Goldstein, Jake M. Hofman"
