VisualEditor News #1—2015

Από το τελευταίο ενημερωτικό δελτίο, η Συντακτική Ομάδα έχει φτιάξει πολλά σφάλματα και έχει δουλέψει πάνω στην εμφάνιση του VisualEditor, την επερχόμενη υπηρεσία παραπομπών Citoid, και την υποστήριξη γλωσσών με πολύπλοκες απαιτήσεις εισόδου. Αναφορές κατάστασης αναρτώνται στο on mediawiki.org. Τα μελλοντικά σχέδια αναρτώνται στο VisualEditor roadmap.

Το Ίδρυμα Wikimedia έχει κατονομάσει τις κορυφαίες προτεραιότητές του για αυτό το τρίμηνο (Ιανουάριο έως Μάρτιο). Η πρώτη προτεραιότητα είναι να καταστεί ο VisualEditor έτοιμος για ανάπτυξη ως προκαθορισμένος επεξεργαστής για όλους τους νέους χρήστες και τους ασύνδετους χρήστες στις υπόλοιπες μεγάλες Βικιπαίδειες. Μπορείτε να βοηθήσετε να αναγνωριστούν αυτές οι απαιτήσεις. Θα γίνονται εβδομαδιαίες συναντήσεις διαλογής οι οποίες θα είναι ανοιχτές στους εθελοντές αρχίζοντας την Τετάρτη, 11 Φεβρουαρίου 2015 στις 12:00 (απόγευμα) PST (20:00 UTC). Πείτε στον αντιπρόεδρο του Σχεδιασμού Damon Sicore, τον Διευθυντή Προϊόντος James Forrester και άλλα μέλη της ομάδας ποια σφάλματα και ποια χαρακτηριστικά είναι πιο σημαντικά για εσάς. Οι αποφάσεις σε αυτές τις συναντήσεις θα καθορίσουν ποιες δουλειές είναι απαραίτητες για τον στόχο του τριμήνου να καταστεί ο VisualEditor έτοιμος για ανάπτυξη για τους νέους χρήστες. Η παρουσία εθελοντών που ευχαριστιούνται τη συνεισφορά σε κώδικα MediaWiki εκτιμάται ιδιαιτέρως. Πληροφορίες για το πως μπορείτε να συμμετέχετε στη συνάντηση θα αναρτηθούν στο mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal λίγο πριν ξεκινήσει η συνάντηση.

Due to some breaking changes in MobileFrontend and VisualEditor, VisualEditor was not working correctly on the mobile site for a couple of days in early January. The teams apologize for the problem.

Πρόσφατες βελτιώσεις

Η νέα σχεδίαση του VisualEditor ευθυγραμμίζεται με τα Πρότυπα front-end του MediaWiki όπως καθοδηγούνται από την ομάδα σχεδιασμού. Εκδόθηκαν αρκετές νέες εκδόσεις της βιβλιοθήκης OOjs UI, και αυτές έχουν επίσης επίπτωση στην εμφάνιση του VisualEditor καθώς και άλλες επεκτάσεις λογισμικού του MediaWiki. Οι περισσότερες αλλαγές ήταν ελάσσονες, όπως η αλλαγή στο μέγεθος του κειμένου και η ποσότητα λευκού κενού σε κάποια παράθυρα. Τα κουμπιά έχουν συνεπή χρωματικό κώδικα ώστε να υποδεικνύουν το αν η δράση:

• ξεκινά νέα εργασία, όπως το άνοιγμα του διαλόγου ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽: μπλε ,
• ξεκινά μια δημιουργική δράση, όπως την παράθεση παραπομπής: πράσινο ,
• ενδέχεται να οδηγήση στην απώλεια της εργασίας σας, όπως η αφαίρεση ενός συνδέσμου: κόκκινο , ή
• είναι ουδέτερη, όπως το άνοιγμα συνδέσμου σε νέο παράθυρο του φυλλομετρητή: γκρι .

Ο επεξεργαστής TemplateData ξαναγράφτηκε από την αρχή ώστε να χρησιμοποιεί διαφορετικό σχεδιασμό βασισμένο στο ίδιο σύστημα OOjs UI όπως ο VisualEditor. (T67815, T73746.) Αυτή η αλλαγή επιδιόρθωσε μερικά υφιστάμενα σφάλματα και βελτίωσε τη χρηστικότητα. (T73077, T73078.)

Η Αναζήτηση και αντικατάσταση σε μεγάλα κείμενα είναι πλέον ταχύτερη. Δεν υπογραμμίζει κάθε εμφάνιση αν υπάρχουν στην οθόνη πάνω από 100 ταυτόχρονα.(T78234.)

Editors at the Hebrew and Russian Wikipedia requested the ability to use VisualEditor in the "Article Incubator" or drafts namespace. (T86688, T87027.) If your community would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace on your wiki, then you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.

Κοιτώντας μπροστά

The Editing team will soon add auto-fill features for citations. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to contribute to the Citoid service's definitions for each website, to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections.

We will need editors to help test the new design of the special character inserter, especially if you speak Welsh, Breton, or another language that uses diacritics or special characters extensively. The new version should be available for testing next week. Please contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF) if you would like to be notified when the new version is available. After the special character tool is completed, VisualEditor will be deployed to all users at Phase 5 Wikipedias. This will affect about 50 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh. The date for this change has not been determined.

Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content

This March, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas for improving gender diversity on Wikimedia projects. Less than 20% of Wikimedia contributors are women, and many important topics are still missing in our content. We invite all Wikimedians to participate. If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive, positive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign and help this project better represent the world’s knowledge!

Κύριοι (όσοι ασχολείστε με τα βικινέα), με λύπη μου έχω παρατηρήσει πως όλοι όσοι ασχολούνταν με τα βικινέα, την έχουν εγκαταλείψει και έχει μείνει πίσω στην επικαιρότητα. Ελπίζω πως κάτι θα κάνετε για αυτό.Δημοσιογράφος *Τώρα* 20:25, 28 Μαρτίου 2015 (EET)

Stewards confirmation rules

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep. As this is an issue that affects all WMF wikis, I'm sending this notification to let people know & be able to participate. Best regards, --MF-W 19:12, 10 Απριλίου 2015 (EEST)

VisualEditor News #2—2015

Did you know?

With Citoid in VisualEditor, you click the 'book with bookmark' icon and paste in the URL for a reliable source:

Citoid looks up the source for you and returns the citation results. Click the green "Insert" button to accept its results and add them to the article:

After inserting the citation, you can change it. Select the reference, and click the "Edit" button in the context menu to make changes.

The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's performance, the Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.

The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at 11:00 (noon) PDT (18:00 UTC). You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the Editing team's Q4 blocker project with the bug. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal.

Recent improvements

VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and network speed by almost 40%.

The Editing team is slowly adding auto-fill features for citations. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.

Citoid requires good TemplateData for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.

The special character inserter has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the Phase 5 list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh.

Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use input method editors ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.

The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the "packed" mode in image galleries. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.

You can now drag and drop categories to re-arrange their order of appearance ​on the page.

The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.

Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.

Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (T90734)

Looking ahead

The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted at mediawiki.org.

The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon. (T90666)

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections

This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.

This year, elections are being held for the following roles:

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.

The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.

Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

On behalf of the Elections Committee,

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core

Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.

There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.

Thank you,
The Pywikibot development team, 19:30, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

The link tool has been re-designed:

There are separate tabs for linking to internal and external pages. The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has created new interfaces for the link and citation tools and fixed many bugs and changed some elements of the design. Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.

A test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors at the English Wikipedia has just completed the first phase. During this test, half of newly registered editors had VisualEditor automatically enabled, and half did not. The main goal of the study is to learn which group was more likely to save an edit and to make productive, unreverted edits. Initial results will be posted at Meta later this month.

Recent improvements

Auto-fill features for citations are available at a few Wikipedias through the citoid service. Citoid takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto⧽, ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual⧽, or ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse⧽). The cite button is now labeled with the word "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "⧼Citoid-citeFromIDDialog-lookup-button⧽", for the submit button.

The link tool has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector. (T98085)

The special character inserter in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list at mediawiki.org. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (T70425)

Several improvements have been made to templates. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽" each time they want to add another parameter. (T95696) The team added a new property for TemplateData, "Παράδειγμα", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (T53049)

The design of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.

The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of non-existent images. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.

The link tool has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector. (T98085)

The special character inserter in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list at mediawiki.org. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (T70425)

Several improvements have been made to templates. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽" each time they want to add another parameter. (T95696) The team added a new property for TemplateData, "Παράδειγμα", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (T53049)

The design of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.

The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of non-existent images. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.

Ας δουλέψουμε μαζί

• Μοιραστείτε τις ιδέες σας και κάντε ερωτήσεις στο mw:VisualEditor/Ανατροφοδότηση.
• The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Wednesday at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the VisualEditor Q4 blocker project with the bug.
• Αν τα Βικιταξίδια σας, τα Βικιβιβλία σας, το Βικιεπιστήμιό σας, ή άλλη κοινότητα επιθυμεί να έχει προκαθορισμένο τον VisualEditor για τους συνεισφέροντές της, τότε παρακαλούμε να επικοινωνήσετε με τον Τζέιμς Φόρεστερ (James Forrester)
• If you would like to request the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.

HTTPS

Apologies for writing in English.

Hi everyone.

Over the last few years, the Wikimedia Foundation has been working towards enabling HTTPS by default for all users, including unregistered ones, for better privacy and security for both readers and editors. This has taken a long time, as there were different aspects to take into account. Our servers haven't been ready to handle it. The Wikimedia Foundation has had to balance sometimes conflicting goals.

Forced HTTPS has just been implemented on all Wikimedia projects. Some of you might already be aware of this, as a few Wikipedia language versions were converted to HTTPS last week and the then affected communities were notified.

Most of Wikimedia editors shouldn't be affected at all. If you edit as registered user, you've probably already had to log in through HTTPS. We'll keep an eye on this to make sure everything is working as it should. Do get in touch with us if you have any problems after this change or contact me if you have any other questions.

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.

How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (συζήτηση) 08:07, 24 Ιουλίου 2015 (EEST)

Γνωρίζατε ό,τι;

Μπορείτε να προσθέσετε εισαγωγικά πριν και μετά από έναν τίτλο ή φράση με ένα απλό κλικ.

Επιλέξτε το σχετικό κείμενο. Βρείτε τα σωστά εισαγωγικά στο εργαλείο εισαγωγής ειδικών χαρακτήρων (σημειώνεται με Ω στη γραμμή εργαλείων).

Κάντε κλικ στο κουμπί. Ο VisualEditor θα προσθέσει τα εισαγωγικά και στις δύο πλευρές του κειμένου που επιλέξατε.

Μπορείτε να διαβάσετε και να βοηθήσετε στη μετάφραση του οδηγού χρήστη, ο οποίος έχει περισσότερες πληροφορίες σχετικά με το πώς να χρησιμοποιήσετε τον VisualEditor.

Από το τελευταίο ενημερωτικό δελτίο, η Ομάδα Επεξεργασίας εργάζεται στην υποστήριξη για κινητά τηλέφωνα. Επιδιόρθωσαν πολλά λάθη και βελτίωσαν τη γλωσσική υποστήριξη. Ανακοινώνουν εβδομαδιαίες αναφορές κατάστασης στο mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving language support and functionality on mobile devices.

Wikimania

Η ομάδα παρακολούθησε το Wikimania 2015 στο Μεξικό. Εκεί συμμετείχε στο Hackathon και συναντήθηκε με ιδιώτες και ομάδες χρηστών. Έκανε επίσης μερικές παρουσιάσεις για τον VisualEditor και το μέλλον της επεξεργασίας.

Μετά το Wikimania, ανακηρύξαμε τους νικητές για το VisualEditor 2015 Translathon. Τις ευχαριστίες μας και τα συγχαρητήριά μας στους χρήστες Halan-tul, Renessaince, जनक राज भट्ट (Janak Bhatta), Vahe Gharakhanyan, Warrakkk και Eduardogobi.

For interface messages (translated at translatewiki.net), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (+21.7%). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).

For documentation messages (on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (+20.3%). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).

We published some graphs showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.

Recent improvements

Auto-fill features for citations can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the citoid service to convert a URL or DOI into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, simple process at mediawiki.org. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the instructions at mediawiki.org.

Your wiki can customize the first section of the special character inserter in VisualEditor. Please follow the instructions at mediawiki.org to put the characters you want at the top. In other changes, if you need to fill in a CAPTCHA and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit Vega-based graphs. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.

Future changes

The team will be changing the appearance of selected links inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.

On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A recent controlled trial showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page is now using Flow instead of LiquidThreads.
• Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at mediawiki.org if you can help.
• If your wiki would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace, you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
• Please file requests for language-appropriate "Έντονα" and "Πλάγια" icons for the styling menu in Phabricator.
• The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.
• The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

VisualEditor News #5—2015

Did you know?

You can use the visual editor on smartphones and tablets.

Click the pencil icon to open the editor for a page. Inside that, use the gear menu in the upper right corner to "Μετάβαση σε οπτική επεξεργασία".

The editing button will remember which editing environment you used last time, and give you the same one next time. The desktop site will be switching to a system similar to this one in the coming months.

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 VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs, added new features, and made some small design changes. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages like Japanese and Arabic, making it easier to edit on mobile devices, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.

Recent improvements

Educational features: The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the Σύνδεσμος and ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽ tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (T108620) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (T112354) More in-software educational features are planned.

Links: It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (T74108, T91285) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (T109498, T110347, T63558) These "magic links" use a custom link editing tool.

Uploads: Registered editors can now upload images and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "Εισαγωγή Εικόνες και πολυμέσα" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.

Mobile: Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (T85630) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (T111894) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "Διαγραφή" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (T62110) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.

Rich editing tools: You can now add and edit sheet music in the visual editor. (T112925) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (T114227, T113354) When editing formulæ and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of graphs; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.

On the English Wikipedia, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under Special:Preferences.

Future changes

You will soon be able to switch from the wikitext to the visual editor after you start editing. (T49779) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a single edit tab. (T102398) This project will combine the "Επεξεργασία" and "Επεξεργασία κώδικα" tabs into a single "Επεξεργασία" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Επεξεργασία" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page uses Flow for discussions.
• Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).
• Local admins can set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki. If you need help, then please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
• The weekly task triage meetings are open to volunteers. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

Community Wishlist Survey

Έρευνα Επιθυμητών Εργαλείων / Community Wishlist Survey

Γεια σας!

Η ομάδα Community Tech του Ιδρύματος Wikimedia ασχολείται με την οικοδόμηση βελτιωμένων εργαλείων σχετικά με την επιμέλεια για έμπειρους συντάκτες του Wikimedia. Αυτή τη στιγμή, διεξάγουμε την Έρευνα για επιθυμητά εργαλεία (Community Wishlist Survey) προς ανάδειξη ιδεών για χρήσιμα εργαλεία στα οποία θα μπορούσαμε να επικεντρωθούμε.

Για την πρώτη φάση της έρευνας, προσκαλούμε τους ενεργούς συντάκτες να καταθέσουν σύντομες προτάσεις των ιδεών τους, εξηγώντας γιατί είναι σημαντικές για εκείνους. Η πρώτη φάση θα διαρκέσει 2 εβδομάδες. Κατα την διάρκεια της δεύτερης φάσης, θα διεξαχθεί ψηφοφορία για τις προτάσεις. Κατόπιν, θα επιλέξουμε τις 10 δημοφιλέστερες προτάσεις και θα δημιουργήσουμε μια λίστα προτεραιότητας.

Αν και το μεγαλύτερο τμήμα της διαδικασίας θα διεξαχθεί στην Αγγλική γλώσσα, συντάκτες από οποιοδήποτε εγχείρημα Wikimedia μπορούν να καταθέσουν τις προτάσεις τους. Θα προσκαλέσουμε εθελοντές μεταφραστές για να μεταφραστούν οι προτάσεις στα Αγγλικά.

Η πρότασή σου πρέπει να περιλαμβάνει: μια περίληψη του προβλήματος που θέλεις να λύσεις, ποιός θα επωφεληθεί και την προτινόμενη λύση, εαν έχεις κάποια. Μπορείς να καταθέσεις την πρότασή σου στον ιστότοπο της έρευνας Community Wishlist, χρησιμοποιόντας τον χώρο εισαγωγής κειμένου και το μεγάλο μπλε κουμπί. Καταθέσεις προτάσεων θα γίνονται δεκτές για δυο εβδομάδες, μέχρι και τις 23 Νοεμβρίου.

Ανυπομονούμε να ακούσουμε τις ιδέες σου!

Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed

Hello! Wikimania 2016 scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see Scholarship committee for details.

If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

Wikidata data access is coming

Hi everyone :)

A while ago you received access to the interwiki links from Wikidata. Everything seems to be going well so I'd like to move on to the second stage. You will get access to the actual data in Wikidata like the date of birth of a person. You'll be able to make use of them in your templates via Lua or a new parser function (#property). We'll be enabling this on December 2nd. This will be the day for Wikinews, Wikispecies, Meta and MediaWiki. I hope this will open up great new possibilities for you and make your work easier. If you have questions please come to d:Wikidata:Sister projects. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (συζήτηση) 18:24, 18 Νοεμβρίου 2015 (EET)

Your input requested on the proposed #FreeBassel banner campaign

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.

Hi everyone,

This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.

As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.

We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.

Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)

Thank you for your participation!

Access to data on Wikidata is here

Hi everyone :)

For a while now you already have access to the sitelinks from Wikidata. We just enabled access to the data on Wikidata for you as well. This means you can now access data like the number of inhabitants of a city or get a link to a picture for a famous person and much more to use it in your articles. You can access the data in two ways - via a parser function and via Lua. How to use it:

• Parser function: {{#property:P36|from=Q183}} to get the capital (Property:P36) from the item about Germany (Q183)
• Lua: see mw:Extension:Wikibase Client/Lua

I hope this will help you do great things here. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Good places to start are the relevant pages on d:Wikidata:Wikinews and d:Wikidata:Project chat.

Get involved in Wikipedia 15!

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!

People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.

Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:

• Join/host an event. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
• Talk to local press. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a handy summary of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a press release template and resources on working with the media, are also available.
• Design a Wikipedia 15 logo. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
• Share a message on social media. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!

Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.

If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.

Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!
-The Wikimedia Foundation Communications team

VisualEditor News #6—2015

Did you know?

A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button. Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.

If you prefer having separate edit buttons, then you can set that option in your preferences, either in a pop-up dialog the next time you open the visual editor, or by going to Special:Preferences and choosing the setting that you want:

The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently.

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

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Since the last newsletter, the visual editor team has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.

Recent improvements

You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. The LaTeX mathematics formula editor has been significantly expanded. (T118616) You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code. You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.

Future changes

The single edit tab project will combine the "Επεξεργασία" and "Επεξεργασία κώδικα" tabs into a single "Επεξεργασία" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398, T58337) Initially, the "Επεξεργασία" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the Επεξεργασία tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Λειτουργία επεξεργασίας:".

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016: Amharic, Buginese, Min Dong, Cree, Manx, Hakka, Armenian, Georgian, Pontic, Serbo-Croatian, Tigrinya, Mingrelian, Zhuang, and Min Nan. (T116523) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.

In 2016, the feedback pages for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. (T92661)

Testing opportunities

• Please try the new system for the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences. Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at the feedback topic on mediawiki.org or sign up for formal user research (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
  • Να θυμάσαι τον τελευταίο επεξεργαστή μου,
  • Πάντα με τον οπτικό επεξεργαστή, αν είναι δυνατόν,
  • Πάντα με τον επεξεργαστή κώδικα, and
  • Δείξε μου και τις δύο καρτέλες επεξεργασίας. (This is the current state for people already using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
• Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).

2016 WMF Strategy consultation

Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

Hello, all.

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)

Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.

Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)

If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to mdennis@wikimedia.org.

I hope you'll join us! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery (συζήτηση) 21:06, 18 Ιανουαρίου 2016 (EET)

Μετάφραση του όρου Bot στο Mediawiki

Προχθές ξεκίνησε μια νέα συζήτηση στο Translatewiki μεταξύ εμού και του Protnet για τη μετάφραση του όρου bot. Η λέξη αυτή εμφανίζεται συχνά τόσο στα μηνύματα του πυρήνα του Mediawiki, όσο και στην ομάδα μηνυμάτων του Pywikibot. Μέχρι σήμερα το μεταφράζαμε ως «ρομπότ». Μην απαντήσετε σε αυτό το νήμα. Γράψτε κατευθείαν στον translatewiki. --Γλαύκος^{απάντηση} 09:30, 28 Ιανουαρίου 2016 (UTC)

ΣΗΜΑΝΤΙΚΟ: Επιθεώρηση δραστηριότητας διαχειριστών

Χαίρετε! Μία πολιτική για την αφαίρεση «ανώτερων δικαιωμάτων» (διαχειριστής, γραφειοκράτης, κτλ) υιοθετήθηκε με συναίνεση της παγκόσμιας κοινότητας το 2013. Σύμφωνα με αυτή την πολιτική, οι επίτροποι επιθεωρούν την δραστηριότητα των διαχειριστών σε όλα τα wiki του ιδρύματος Wikimedia που δεν έχουν τοπική πολιτική για τους αδρανείς διαχειριστές. Σύμφωνα με όσα γνωρίζουμε, το wiki σας δεν διαθέτει επίσημη διαδικασία για την αφαίρεση «ανωτέρων δικαιωμάτων» από ανενεργούς λογαριασμούς. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι οι επίτροποι θα δράσουν σύμφωνα με την επιθεώρηση δραστηριότητας διαχειριστών.

Διαπιστώσαμε ότι οι ακόλουθοι χρήστες πληρούν τα κριτήρια αδράνειας (καμία επεξεργασία και καμία διαχειριστική δραστηριότητα για πάνω από 2 χρόνια):

1. Nataly8 (last edit: 2013-03-18; last log action: 2013-03-18).

Αυτοί οι χρήστες θα λάβουν σύντομα ειδοποίηση, που θα τους ζητά να αρχίσουν μία συζήτηση στην κοινότητα για το άν θέλουν να κρατήσουν κάποια ή όλα τα δικαιώματά τους. Αν οι χρήστες δεν ανταποκριθούν, τότε τα ανώτερα δικαιώματά τους θα αφαιρεθούν από τους επιτρόπους.

Ωστόσο, αν εσείς ως κοινότητα θέλετε να φτιάξετε τη δική σας διαδικασία επιθεώρησης δραστηριότητας που να υπερκαλύπτει την παγκόσμια, θέλετε να πάρετε άλλη απόφαση σχετικά με τους ανενεργούς κατόχους αυτών των δικαιωμάτων, ή έχετε ήδη αντίστοιχη πολιτική που την παραβλέψαμε, παρακαλούμε ειδοποιήστε τους επιτρόπους στο Meta-Wiki, έτσι ώστε να γνωρίζουμε να μην προχωρήσουμε με την επιθεώρηση δικαιωμάτων στο wiki σας. Ευχαριστούμε, --MarcoAurelio (συζήτηση) 20:47, 25 Φεβρουαρίου 2016 (EET)

VisualEditor News #1—2016

Διαβάστε το σε άλλη γλώσσα • Εγγραφή στο πολύγλωσσο ενημερωτικό δελτίο

'Αυτό το ξέρατε;'

Μεταξύ των έμπειρων χρηστών, η επεξεργασία πινάκων είναι ένα από τα δημοφιλέστερα χαρακτηριστικά του Visual Editor.

Μπορείτε να εισαγάγετε ή να αφαιρέσετε στήλες και γραμμές αν επιλέξετε την κορυφή μίας στήλης ή το τέλος μιας γραμμής.

Τώρα μπορείτε επίσης να αναδιατάξετε γραμμές και στήλες. Για να αντιμεταθέστε τη στήλη ή γραμμή με γειτονική της, πατήστε στο "Move before" ή το Move after" .

Μπορείτε να διαβάσετε και να βοηθήσετε στη μετάφραση του εγχειριδίου χρήσης το οποίο έχει περισσότερες πληροφορίες για το πώς να χρησιμοποιήσετε τον Visual Editor.

Από τότε που ανακοινώθηκε το τελευταίο δελτίο με ιδήσεις για τον Viasual Editor, η Ομάδα VisualEditor έχει διορθώσει πολλά λάθη (bugs). Η δουλειά τους είναι διαθέσιμη στο Phabricator. Οι παρούσες προτεραιότητες είναι η βελτίωση υποστήριξης των Ιαπωνικών, Κορεάτικων, Αραβικών, Ινδικών και Χαν scripts καθώς και η βελτίωση του single edit tab interface.

Πρόσφατες αλλαγές

Είναι εφικτή η εναλλαγή από τον επεξεργαστή κειμένου wikitext στον visual editor αφού ξεκινήσετε την επεξεργασία. Αυτή η λειτουργία είναι διαθέσιμη σε όλες σχεδόν τις μηχανές επεξεργασίας στα περισσότερα wikis, εκτός από τα Βικιλεξικά και τις Βικιθήκες.

Πολλές τοπικές σελίδες σχολίων για τον visual editor έχουν κατευθυνθεί προς τα $fπίσω.

Μπορείτε τώρα να εναλλάξετε τις στήλες και τις γραμμές στους πίνακες, καθώς και την αντιγραφή μιας γραμμής, στήλης ή οποιαδήποτε άλλη επιλογή κελιών και επικόλληση της σε μια νέα θέση.

Το formula editor έχει δύο επιλογές: μπορείτε να επιλέξετε "Γρήγορη επεξεργασία" για να δείτε και να αλλάξετε μόνο τον κωδικό LaTeX, ή "Επεξεργασία" για να χρησιμοποιήσετε το πλήρες εργαλείο. Το πλήρες εργαλείο προσφέρει άμεση προεπισκόπηση και μια εκτενή λίστα με σύμβολα.

Μελλοντικές αλλαγές

Το single edit tab project θα συνδυάσει τις καρτέλες "Επεξεργασία" και "Επεξεργασία κώδικα" στην ενιαία καρτέλα "Επεξεργασία". Αυτό είναι παρόμοιο με το σύστημα που χρησιμοποιείται ήδη για την περιήγηση ιστοσελίδας μέσω κινητού. (T102398) Αρχικά, η καρτέλα "Επεξεργασία" θα ανοίξει οποιοδήποτε περιβάλλον επεξεργασίας χρησιμοποιήσατε την τελευταία φορά. Η τελευταία επιλογή επεξεργασίας σας θα αποθηκευτεί ως προτίμηση λογαριασμού για συνδεδεμένους χρήστες, και ως ένα cookie για μη συνδεδεμένους χρήστες. Οι συνδεδεμένοι χρήστες θα έχουν αυτές τις επιλογές στην καρτέλα Επεξεργασία των Special:Preferences:

• Να θυμάσαι τον τελευταίο επεξεργαστή μου,
• Πάντα με τον οπτικό επεξεργαστή, αν είναι δυνατόν,
• Πάντα με τον επεξεργαστή κώδικα, και
• Δείξε μου και τις δύο καρτέλες επεξεργασίας. (Αυτή είναι η κατάσταση για όσους χρησιμοποιούν τον visual editor τώρα.)

Ο visual editor χρησιμοποιεί την ίδια μηχανή αναζήτησης όπως το Special: Search για την ανεύρεση συνδέσμων και αρχείων. Η αναζήτηση αυτή σύντομα θα βελτιωθεί ως προς την ανίχνευση τυπογραφικών και ορθογραφικών λαθών. Αυτές οι βελτιώσεις αναζήτησης θα εμφανιστούν και στον visual editor.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. Αυτό θα επηρεάσει τις ακόλουθες γλώσσες, μεταξύ άλλων: Ιαπωνικά, Κορεάτικα, Ούρντου, Περσικά, Αραβικά, Ταμίλ, Μαράθι, Μάγιαλαμ, Χίντι, Μπενγκάλι, Ασαμέζικα, Ταϊλανδέζικα, Αραμαϊκά.

Ας δουλέψουμε μαζί

• Δοκιμάστε την νεότερη έκδοση της ενιαίας καρτέλας επεξεργασίας στην σελίδα test2.wikipedia.org. Μπορεί να χρειαστεί να επαναφέρετε τις προεπιλεγμένες προτιμήσεις (στο κάτω μέρος του test2wiki:Special:Preferences) για να δείτε την αρχική προτροπή για τις διαθέσιμες επιλογές. Είστε σε θέση να βρείτε μια ρύθμιση προτίμησης που θα λειτουργήσει για την δική σας επεξεργασία; Είδατε το το μεγάλο παράθυρο διαλόγου προτιμήσεων, όταν ξεκινήσατε την επεξεργασία ενός άρθρου εκεί;
• Μπορείτε να διαβάσετε και να πληκτρολογήσετε σε Κορεατικά, Αραβικά, Ιαπωνικά, Ινδικά, ή Χαν scripts; Φέρετε η πληκτρολόγηση σε αυτές τις γλώσσες φυσική στον visual editor; Ο μηχανικός γλώσσας David Chan χρειάζεται να ξέρει. Παρακαλώ δείτε τις οδηγίες στο mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test εαν μπορείτε να βοηθήσετε. Αναρτήστε τα σχόλιά σας και την/τις γλώσσα/-ες που δοκιμάσατε στο the feedback thread του mediawiki.org.
• Εάν δεν διαβάζετε αυτό το ενημερωτικό δελτίο στην αγαπημένη σας γλώσσα, τότε παρακαλούμε να μας βοηθήσει με τις μεταφράσεις! Εγγραφείτε στην Λίστα επικοινωνίας μεταφραστών ή επικοινωνήστε μαζί μας άμεσα μέσω του contact us, ώστε να μπορέσουμε να σας ειδοποιήσουμε όταν το επόμενο ενημερωτικό δελτίο είναι έτοιμο. Σας ευχαριστούμε!

No editing two times this week

Το Ἰδρυμα Wikimedia θα κάνει δοκιμές στο νέο του κέντρο δεδομένων στο Ντάλας. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο θα διασφαλιστεί ότι η Βικιπαίδεια και τα άλλα wiki του Wikimedia θα μπορούν να παραμείνουν online ακόμα και μετά από μία καταστροφή. Για να σιγουρευτούμε ότι όλα λειτουργούν, το Τμήμα Τεχνολογίας του Wikimedia πρέπει να πραγματοποιήσει μια προγραμματισμένη δοκιμή. Η δοκιμή αυτή θα δείξει αν μπορεί να γίνει εναλλαγή αξιόπιστα από το ένα κέντρο δεδομένων στο άλλο. Χρειάζονται πολλές ομάδες, τόσο για την προετοιμασία της δοκιμής, αλλά και για να είναι διαθέσιμες για να διορθώσουν τυχόν απροσδόκητα προβλήματα.

Οι τεχνικοί θα στρέψουν όλη την κυκλοφορία προς το νέο κέντρο δεδομένων την Τρίτη, 19 Απριλίου.
Την Πέμπτη, 21 Απριλίου, η κυκλοφορία θα επανέλθει στο κύριο κέντρο δεδομένων.

Δυστυχώς, λόγω κάποιων περιορισμών του MediaWiki, δεν θα υπάρχει δυνατότητα επεξεργασίας λημμάτων κατά την διάρκεια των δύο αυτών αλλαγών. Ζητούμε συγγνώμη για την αναστάτωση, και καταβάλλουμε προσπάθειες να ελαχιστοποιηθεί στο μέλλον.

Για ένα σύντομο διάστημα, θα μπορείτε να διαβάσετε όλα τα wiki, αλλά όχι να τα επεξεργαστείτε.

• Δεν θα μπορείτε να επεξεργαστείτε σελίδες για περίπου 15 με 30 λεπτά την Τρίτη 19 Απριλίου και την Πέμπτη 21 Απριλίου, από τις 14:00 UTC (17:00 ώρα Ελλάδας, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).
• Αν προσπαθήσετε να επεξεργαστείτε ή να αποθηκεύσετε μια σελίδα εκείνη την ώρα, θα δείτε ένα μήνυμα σφάλματος. Ελπίζουμε ότι δεν θα χαθούν επεξεργασίες εκείνη την ώρα, αλλά δεν μπορούμε να το εγγυηθούμε. Αν δείτε το μήνυμα σφάλματος, παρακαλούμε περιμένετε να επανέλθουν όλα στο κανονικό. Τότε θα μπορέσετε να αποθηκεύσετε την επεξεργασία σας. Ωστόσο προτείνουμε να κρατήσετε ένα αντίγραφο των αλλαγών σας, για κάθε ενδεχόμενο.

Άλλες παρενέργειες

• Οι εργασίες στο υπόβαθρο θα είναι πιο αργές και κάποιες μπορεί να ακυρωθούν. Οι κόκκινοι σύνδεσμοι πιθανώς να μην ενημερώνονται όσο γρήγορα ενημερώνονται συνήθως. Αν δημιουργήσετε μια σελίδα που ήδη συνδέεται από κάπου αλλού, ο σύνδεσμος θα παραμείνει κόκκινος για περισσότερο χρόνο από ό,τι συνήθως. Κάποια σενάρια που κάνουν ώρα να τρέξουν θα πρέπει να εξαναγκαστούν να σταματήσουν.
• Η ανάπτυξη κώδικα θα παγώσει για την εβδομάδα της 18ης Απριλίου. Δεν θα αναπτυχθεί μη αναγκαίος κώδικας.

Η δοκιμή ήταν αρχικά προγραμματισμένη για τις 22 Μαρτίου. Η 19η και η 21η Απριλίου είναι οι νέες ημερομηνίες. Μπορείτε να διαβάσετε το πρόγραμμα στο wikitech.wikimedia.org. Τυχόν αλλαγές θα δημοσιευτούν σε αυτό το πρόγραμμα. Θα υπάρξουν περισσότερες ειδοποιήσεις σχετικά με αυτές τις δοκιμές. Παρακαλούμε μοιραστείτε αυτή την πληροφορία με την κοινότητά σας. /Johan (WMF) (συζήτηση) 01:03, 18 Απριλίου 2016 (EEST)
