Wikidata weekly summary #611

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

Discussions

• New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)

Events

• Upcoming: The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 17th January 2024 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group. The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the development team presents what they have been working on over the past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss important issues related to the development of Wikidata and Wikibase.
• Past
  • Provenance Loves Wiki (PLW24), Jan 12th - 14th, research and data on the origin of artworks and cultural heritage and how Wikibase and Wikidata can support this.

• Helferleins und persönliche Benutzerskripte können nun auch in ES6 (auch bekannt als "ES2015") und ES7 ("ES2016") eingeführte JavaScript-Syntax nutzen. MediaWiki validiert den Quellcode, um andere Funktionen der Seite vor Syntax-Fehlern zu schützen und um sicherzustellen, dass Skripte in allen unterstützen Browsern gültig sind. Zuvor konnten Helferleins die Option requiresES6 nutzen. Diese Option ist nicht mehr erforderlich und wird in Zukunft entfernt. [5]
• Bot-Passwörter und Nur-Besitzer-OAuth-Verbraucher können nun auf die Bearbeitung bestimmter Seiten beschränkt werden. [6]
• Du kannst dich nun für Bearbeitungen von Bots bedanken. [7]
• Neuigkeiten zum Status der Umfrage zur Community-Wunschliste 2024 wurden veröffentlicht! Bitte sieh sie dir an und gib Rückmeldung.

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

• Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 16 Januar verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 17 Januar. Auf allen Wikis ab 18 Januar (Kalender). [8][9]
• Ab dem 17. Januar wird es nicht möglich sein, sich von einigen bestimmten alten Versionen des Browsers Chrome (Versionen 51–66, veröffentlicht 2016–2018) aus anzumelden. Zusätzlich müssen sich Nutzer von iOS 12 oder Safari auf Mac OS 10.14 möglicherweise in jedem Wiki einzeln anmelden. [10]
• Das Modul jquery.cookie ist seit letztem Jahr veraltet und wurde durch mediawiki.cookie ersetzt. Es wurde nun ein Skript ausgeführt, das alle noch vorhandenen Nutzungen ersetzt. Diese Woche wird das temporäre Alias entfernt. [11]

Zukünftige Änderungen

Technische Neuigkeiten: 2024-06

Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.

Letzte Änderungen

• Die Versionsgeschichten in der mobilen Ansicht nutzen nun das gleiche HTML wie die Desktop-Versionsgeschichten. Wenn du von Problemen mit Bezug zur Nutzung der Versionsgeschichte in der mobilen Ansicht hörst, verweise bitte auf den Phabricator-Task.
• In den meisten Wikis können Admins Benutzer nun für bestimmte Aktionen sperren. Diese Aktionen sind: Dateien hochladen, neue Seiten erstellen, Seiten verschieben (umbenennen) und sich bedanken. Das Ziel dieser Funktion ist, es Admins zu ermöglichen, Sperren anzuwenden, die für die Aktivitäten des gesperrten Benutzers angemessen sind. Erfahre mehr über "Aktions-Sperren". [20][21]

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

• Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 6 Februar verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 7 Februar. Auf allen Wikis ab 8 Februar (Kalender). [22][23]
• Permalinks auf Diskussionsseiten, die diakritische Zeichen und nicht-lateinische Buchstaben enthalten, haben nicht richtig funktioniert. Dieses Problem ist nun behoben. [24]

Zukünftige Änderungen

• 24 Wikipedias mit Einzelnachweis-Tooltips als Standard-Helferlein wird empfohlen, die Standard-Konfiguration zu entfernen. Dadurch würde die Einzelnachweis-Vorschau zum neuen Standard für Einzelnachweis-Popups werden, was zu einer konsistenteren Erfahrung über Wikis hinweg führen würde. Für 46 Wikipedias mit weniger als 4 Benutzeroberflächenadministratoren ist die Änderung bereits für Mitte Februar geplant, sofern es keine Bedenken gibt. Das ältere Helferlein Einzelnachweis-Tooltips wird weiterhin nutzbar bleiben und diese Funktion überschreiben, wenn es in deinem Wiki verfügbar ist und du es in deinen Einstellungen aktiviert hast. [25][26]

• Der mobile Visual Editor ist in einer kleinen Anzahl von Wikis nun der Standard-Editor für Benutzer, die zuvor noch nie editiert haben. Forschungsergebnisse haben gezeigt, dass Benutzer, die diesen Editor verwenden, etwas erfolgreicher die begonnenen Bearbeitungen veröffentlichen und etwas weniger erfolgreich nicht zurückgesetzte Bearbeitungen veröffentlichen. Benutzer, die den Wikitext-Editor als Standard auf dem Desktop definieren, werden für ihre erste mobile Bearbeitung den mobilen Wikitext-Editor erhalten. [41]
• Der mw.config-Wert wgGlobalGroups enthält nun nur Gruppen, die in dem Wiki aktiv sind. Skripte müssen nicht mehr über eine API-Abfrage prüfen, ob die Gruppe in dem Wiki aktiv ist. Ein Code-Beispiel dafür ist: if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups"))). [42]

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

• Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 27 Februar verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 28 Februar. Auf allen Wikis ab 29 Februar (Kalender). [43][44]

Zukünftige Änderungen

• Das Recht zur Änderung von Bearbeitungsmarkierungen (changetags) wird auf Wikimedia-Seiten von Benutzern entfernt und standardmäßig nur für Administratoren und Bots beibehalten. Deine Community kann darum bitten, die alte Konfiguration in deinem Wiki beizubehalten, bevor die Änderung erfolgt. Bitte gib in diesem Ticket bis Ende März 2024 an, wenn die Einstellungen für deine Community beibehalten werden sollen.

Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.

Letzte Änderungen

• Die Seite Special:Book (sowie die zugehörige Funktion "Buch erstellen"), die durch die alte Collection-Erweiterung bereitgestellt wurde, wurde aus allen Wikisource-Wikis entfernt, da sie nicht mehr funktioniert hat. Dies betrifft nicht die Möglichkeit, normale Bücher herunterzuladen, da diese über die Wikisource-Erweiterung bereitgestellt wird. [45]
• Wikitech nutzt nun standardmäßig den Parsoid-Wikitext-Parser der nächsten Generation, um alle Seiten im Diskussionsnamensraum zu generieren. Melde jegliche Probleme auf der Diskussionsseite zu bekannten Problemen. Du kannst die Erweiterung ParserMigration nutzen, um die Nutzung von Parsoid zu kontrollieren; siehe die Hilfe-Dokumentation von ParserMigration für weitere Details.
• Die Wartungsarbeiten am Etherpad sind abgeschlossen. Wenn du Probleme bemerkst, gib dies bitte in diesem Ticket an.
• Helferleins erlauben es Benutzeroberflächenadministratoren, mit CSS und JavaScript benutzerdefinierte Funktionen zu erstellen. Die Namensräume Gadget und Gadget_definition und das Benutzerrecht gadgets-definition-edit waren für einen Test im Jahr 2015 reserviert, wurden aber nie genutzt. Sie waren auf Spezial:Suche und Spezial:Benutzergruppenrechte sichtbar. Die ungenutzten Namensräume und das Benutzerrecht wurden nun entfernt. Es werden keine Seiten verschoben und es sind keine Änderungen erforderlich. [46]
• Es wurde eine Verbesserung der Benutzerfreundlichkeit von "Beleg hinzufügen" im Arbeitsablauf in der Wikipedia vorgenommen, indem die Schaltfläche zum Einfügen in die Popup-Kopfleiste verschoben wurde. [47]

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

• Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 5 März verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 6 März. Auf allen Wikis ab 7 März (Kalender). [48][49]

Zukünftige Änderungen

• Am 20. März werden sich alle Wikis für mehrere Minuten im Lesemodus befinden. Dies ist für 15:00 MEZ geplant. Weitere Informationen werden in den Technischen Neuigkeiten veröffentlicht und in der kommenden Woche werden die einzelnen Wikis informiert. [50]
• Das HTML-Markup von Überschriften und Links zur Abschnittsbearbeitung wird im Laufe des Jahres geändert, um die Zugänglichkeit zu verbessern. Siehe Änderungen an HTML von Überschriften für Details. Das neue Markup wird das gleiche wie im neuen Parsoid-Wikitext-Parser sein. Du kannst dein Helferlein oder Stylesheet mit dem neuen Markup testen, indem du ?useparsoid=1 an deine URL anhängst (weitere Informationen) oder in deinen Benutzereinstellungen die Parsoid-Leseansicht aktivierst (weitere Informationen).

Aus Reparatursommer wird Reparaturhilfe: Unterstützung bei kaputten Community-Werkzeugen

Hallo, du erhältst diese Nachricht, weil du den Newsletter der Technischen Wünsche abonniert hast.

Du erinnerst dich bestimmt daran, dass wir letztes Jahr aufgrund einer kurzen Pause in unserem Themenschwerpunkt „Wiederverwendung von Einzelnachweisen vereinfachen“ den Reparatursommer gestartet haben. Die Initiative war als kurzfristige Unterstützung gedacht, in der die Technische-Wünsche-Entwickler*innen bei Wikimedia Deutschland zusammen mit den jeweils zuständigen Ehrenamtlichen versucht haben, Probleme mit „Community-Werkzeugen“ zu lösen. In der Zwischenzeit hat das Team der Technischen Wünsche die Arbeit am aktuellen Themenschwerpunkt wieder aufgenommen. Dort liegt der Fokus der Arbeit des Teams. Weil der Reparatursommer aber gezeigt hat, dass es Bedarf an Unterstützung bei „Community-Werkzeugen“ gibt, soll das Angebot in geringerem Umfang fortgeführt werden. Aus dem Reparatursommer wird die Reparaturhilfe.

Was bedeutet das? Bei kaputten Helferlein, Bots, Benutzerskripten und Tools wendest du dich, wie schon immer, an die entsprechenden Stellen innerhalb der Wikipedia-Community, wie zum Beispiel die Technik/Werkstatt. Solltest du dort nicht weiterkommen, dann hast du nun die Möglichkeit, dich an die Reparaturhilfe zu wenden:

• Trag dein Problem direkt auf der Projektseite ein, das Team schaut sich dein Anliegen an und prüft die Machbarkeit.
• Oder du kommst in die monatliche Reparatursprechstunde und tauschst dich 1:1 mit den Entwickler*innen aus dem Team aus.

Generell gilt, dass das Team nichts ohne Austausch mit den verantwortlichen ehrenamtlichen Aktiven verändert. Mehr Informationen zu der Reparaturhilfe findest du auf der Projektseite. Kommentare und Rückmeldungen sind auf der Diskussionsseite willkommen. Gerne weitersagen!

Für das Team der Technischen Wünsche, Thereza Mengs (WMDE) 11:42, 19. Mär. 2024 (CET)

Join the next one Sunday April 14th.
• Papers: Understanding Wikidata - Wikidata is extremely valuable as a data source to supplement, validate and extend existing knowledge bases and applications.

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.
