Coming soon: Förhandsvisningar redigera

 

En ny funktion kommer snart till din wiki: Förhandsvisningar av referenser för pop-uper för referenser. Sådana pop-uper har i flera år funnits på wikier som lokala finesser. Nu finns det en central lösning, tillgänglig på alla wikier som också är konsekvent med funktionen PagePreviews.

Förhandsvisningar av referenser kommer synas för alla, också läsare. Vill du inte se dem kan du alltid välja bort dem. Använder du finesserna Reference Tooltips eller Navigation Popups kommer du inte se förhandsvisningar av referenser om du inte inaktiverar finessen.

Förhandsvisningar av referenser har varit en betafunktion på flera wikier sedan 2019 och en standardfunktion på vissa sedan 2021. Utrullning planeras till 22 november.

(Ny) Funktion på Kartographer: Lägga till geopunkter via QID redigera

Sedan september 2022 kan man skapa geopunkter med hjälp av ett QID. Flera wikibidragsgivare har efterfrågat denna funktion, men den används inte mycket. Därför skulle vi vilja påminna er om detta. Det finns mer information på projektsidan. Har du några kommentarer får du gärna berätta för oss på diskussionssidan. Vänliga hälsningar, arbetslagen Tekniska önskningar hos Wikimedia Deutschland.

Feminism and Folklore 2024 redigera

 
Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk

Dear Wiki Community,

You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2024 writing competition from February 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.

You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.

Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:

  1. Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
  2. Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
  3. Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
  4. Request local admins for site notice.
  5. Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.

This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access these tools

Learn more about the contest and prizes on our project page. Feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or by email us if you need any assistance.

We look forward to your immense coordination.

Thank you and Best wishes,

Feminism and Folklore 2024 International Team

Stay connected

A new feature for previewing references on your wiki redigera

 

Apologies for writing in English. If you can translate this message, that would be much appreciated.

Hi. As announced some weeks ago [1] [2], Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team introduced Reference Previews to many wikis, including this one. This feature shows popups for references in the article text.

While this new feature is already usable on your wiki, most people here are not seeing it yet because your wiki has set a gadget as the default for previewing references. We suggest removing the default flag from this gadget on your wiki. That will mean:

  • The new default for reference popups on your wiki will be Reference Previews.
  • However, if you want to keep using the gadget, you can still enable it in your personal settings.

The benefit of having Reference Previews as the default is that the user experience will be consistent across wikis and with the Page Previews feature, and that the software will be easier to maintain overall.

If your wiki wants to make this change, you can remove the default flag yourself or ask the Technical Wishes team to remove it for you, ideally by February 12. – Kind regards, Johanna Strodt (WMDE), 23 januari 2024 kl. 10.40 (CET)[svara]
Johanna Strodt (WMDE): Whenever a change, we will have this qustion:" Is it possible for an indivdual user to turn off this preview?"
Is it? LittleGun (diskussion) 23 januari 2024 kl. 12.44 (CET)[svara]
@LittleGun Det finns redan en valmöjlighet under Special:Inställningar#mw-prefsection-rendering: "Aktivera förhandsvisningar av referenser" som man kan kryssa ur. Ainali diskussionbidrag 23 januari 2024 kl. 13.23 (CET)[svara]
Dåså! LittleGun (diskussion) 23 januari 2024 kl. 14.43 (CET)[svara]
@LittleGun: Thanks for asking, and apologies for replying in English. There are two ways to switch this feature off:
  • By going go to your settings, as @Ainali has described (thanks!)
  • and by clicking on the little cog wheel inside the popup, which leads you straight from the popup to your settings.
Anyone who is not logged in can also turn these previews off by clicking the cog wheel. Then, they can save their preference via a cookie. The previews can be turned back on using the “Edit preview settings” link in the website footer.
I hope this helps, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (diskussion) 25 januari 2024 kl. 14.53 (CET)[svara]
