Licensing[edit]

Was trying to import the Template:PD-KG-exempt template from Commons to identify the licensing of our sparse Kyrgyz works..even sure if it should be here or we somehow link to off-wiki licensing templates? Lemuritus (talk) 19:45, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

It would be OK, however, non-US copyright templates are redundant here. Per policy, this project requires that works uploaded here are free in US only. Ankry (talk) 19:50, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Would it not require a non-US template for the mythical day when the files are moved to their own ky.wikisource subdomain? Perhaps I misunderstand. (unrelated matter, Special:Preferences has two typos, "Preloading next page scan in background. When edining(sic) in the Page: namespace, this gadżet(sic) preloads scan of the next page to speed up its future loading." Lemuritus (talk) 19:55, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Tech News: 2020-03[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser use very old TLS. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It can lead to downgrade attacks. Since 9 December you just see a warning. Soon the browser will not connect to the wikis at all. Most are users on Android systems older than 4.4. You can read the browser recommendations. [2]
  • Special:LinkSearch has been moved from the "Redirecting special pages" section on Special:SpecialPages to the "Lists of pages" section. [3]

Changes later this week

  • Advanced item Wikis can protect pages so that only some users can edit them. The standard protection levels are Allow only autoconfirmed users and Allow only administrators. If your wiki use more protection levels the technical name might be renamed for standardisation. This doesn't affect what users see. [4]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 January. It will be on all wikis from 16 January (calendar).

Future changes

  • Deepcat and Catgraph will stop working. This will happen at the end of January. This is because you can now use the normal search function instead. [5]
  • You can use <ref follow="…"> to merge footnotes that follow each other. It is meant to be used for digitised books on Wikisource. If the order of the footnotes is wrong no error was shown but the bad <ref> was shown outside the <references /> list. This will change and you will see an error message instead. [6]

Future changes

  • There is a new suggestion for what to show when someone edits without registering an account. This is to give unregistered editors better privacy and make some anti-vandalism work go faster. You can give feedback.
  • Advanced item Pywikibot is a Python library to automate work on wikis. It will no longer support Python 2. Use the python2 tag if you need to continue running Python 2 scripts. The Pywikibot team strongly recommends to migrate to Python 3. You can get help to do so. [7]
  • Advanced item The weekly MediaWiki branch cut will soon become automated. The timing for this cut may change. You can discuss in Phabricator if this affects you. [8]

Movement Learning and Leadership Development Project[edit]

Hello

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Community Development team is seeking to learn more about the way volunteers learn and develop into the many different roles that exist in the movement. Our goal is to build a movement informed framework that provides shared clarity and outlines accessible pathways on how to grow and develop skills within the movement. To this end, we are looking to speak with you, our community to learn about your journey as a Wikimedia volunteer. Whether you joined yesterday or have been here from the very start, we want to hear about the many ways volunteers join and contribute to our movement.

To learn more about the project, please visit the Meta page. If you are interested in participating in the project, please complete this simple Google form. Although we may not be able to speak to everyone who expresses interest, we encourage you to complete this short form if you are interested in participating!

Wikisource Conference in Warsaw[edit]

Dear Wikisource Community,

Meeting the Wikisource community expectations, we are working with Wikimedia Polska and Wikimedia Foundation on organiziing the 2nd Wikisource Conference in Warsaw. We already had a survey that showed high interest in the Conference within the community. We also had recently a meeting on the conference organization process and its requirements. However, we are still at a very early stage of the Conference organization process. But we are hoping this event will happen in September this year.

In order to apply for Wikimedia Foundation support, we need some input from the community about the Conference goals and the community expectations. If you are a wikisourcian, you wish to participate the conference or you wish to help the Wikisource community that the conference take place, please fill the short survey linked below before January 29 (due to short deadline for grant applications). Please, also share this request among Your communities. Here is the link to the survey

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf7FnFgMLPHeyWtBqjgXwLDYvh5vxeTnsZ0OIjTdSDrZlX0PA/viewform

Feel free to contact us, if you have any questions, suggestions, proposals, or if you wish to help us in any other way.

On behalf of the Organizing Commitee,

Nicolas Vigneron

Problems

  • Some mobile diffs have problems. A couple of buttons are not shown. Structured data diffs on Commons are confusing. The developers are working on fixing it. [9][10]
  • Administrators on wikis that use Structured Discussions can't move discussion pages. This is a bug. The developers are working on fixing it. [11]

Changes later this week

  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

  • There is JavaScript code on Special:Undelete for administrators that makes it possible to automatically select multiple checkboxes by holding the "Shift" key and clicking. This code is also loaded by accident on other special pages and on articles. This makes pages slower to load. This will be fixed. If you know of other special pages where this is useful please tell the developers at phab:T232688.

New error messages for the attribute “follow”[edit]

There are new error messages for some edge cases when the follow attribute is used incorrectly.
The follow attribute allows users to merge source material which spans over multiple pages. It only exists on Wikisource and works like this: You can merge the contents of two references into one footnote, e.g. <ref name="a">Text for source 1</ref> […] <ref follow="a">Text for source 2</ref> . In the reference section, this shows the footnote like this: Text for source 1 Text for source 2. More information about this attribute can be found here.

Error message for follow attribute.

For the follow-attribute to work it is important that the name of the reference is defined in the text before the follow attribute is called. Unfortunately, if this is not the case, the follow reference is shown on top of the reference list, with no footnote marker and unattached to the predecessor which it's supposed to follow. In the past, there was no error message for this edge case. This will change soon: In order to align this error behavior with error behavior in the rest of the Cite extension, an error message will be shown (see picture) for this edge case. If you want to find all pages in your wiki using the follow attribute, you can use this query.
This change was done in the context of developing the extends attribute, which caused the WMDE’s Technical Wishes team to rework big parts of the Cite extension. It’s planned to be deployed on February 5.
If you’d like to know more about this change, you can find more detailed information on this Phabricator ticket: T240858. If you have any feedback on this change, please let us know on this central feedback page. - For WMDE’s Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) (talk) 08:33, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Update: There will be no new error messages after all.[edit]

Contrary to what was previously announced, the above change will not take place. There is a risk that as a result of the change, error messages would be displayed on many Wikisource pages, even when there is no error. More information can be found on Phabricator (T240858). Many thanks to everyone who pointed this out!
At this time it is not clear if the announced change can be removed from the general software update (scheduled for tonight) or if the Technical Wishes team will remove it promptly afterwards. -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) (talk) 10:49, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Nice to see this info. Ankry (talk) 22:40, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
Max Klemm (WMDE), On the French Wikisource, it works as before. Thank you for the prompt fix. Cantons-de-l'Est (talk)
Thank you Max Klemm (WMDE): this repair was quickly done! --Zyephyrus (talk) 15:22, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Importing articles from a free online journal[edit]

Hi,

For information, @Eavqwiki: (full disclosure: she is working for WMFR right now) had the idea to import articles from Jornalet, a free online journal in Occitan. See a first test example here: Peró: la primèra tèsi doctorala presentada en lenga shipibo defend lo desvolopament de las femnas indigènas.

I admit it's a bit unusual but I still think it's a great idea. What do you think?

Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 09:46, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Love it. I don't see why not. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:09, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Great idea, I support. And the fact that the journal is purely online should not be a problem (though some wikisources accepted a strange rule that only work having been printed on paper are allowed in Wikisource — I don't share their opinion). And if such (or similar) a journal existed for those languages on which I work here then I would not only supported the idea but also personally and eagerly participated in importing articles into those Wikisources. Therefore, as I think, the Occitan Wikisource should also benefit from this import, since at least it would expand the amount of works presented in the Wikisource. --Nigmont (talk) 20:47, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi everyone, Thank you @VIGNERON: for the post. Indeed, we are importing articles from the Jornalet to feed the Occitan wikisource with some quality modern content that is usable for young readers and learners amongst others. Doing it automatically will have to wait for a bit unless someone with the technical skills wants to give us a hand in this which we would be very grateful for :) --Eavqwiki 17:42, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Balinese Wikisource[edit]

There was some discussion on IRC (#wikimedia and #wikimedia-tech [15] [16] [17]) about a possible Balinese Wikisource to host transcriptions of palm leafs, with the person who runs https://palmleaf.org/ . I'm not sure there's a summary yet, but there are some discussions around:

In our discussion on February 11th I've suggested to start by hosting some of their files on Wikimedia Commons and creating some pages on Wikisource.org, to see how they can be formatted and to experiment with any potential issue in MediaWiki. I don't expect any major i18n issue in hosting and showing the content (even adding their existing transliteration to LanguageConverter should not be a big deal). Integrating their workflows may be more challenging, so it's useful for some palmleaf.org contributors to first try and see what we have in terms of extensions, gadgets and tools which may be of use for them as well. Nemo 08:47, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Lautgesetz, you probably want to add something. However, feel free to start experimenting here on Wikisource.org (the multilingual Wikisource). Nemo 08:58, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
@Nemo bis: Exciting. Would this be an XML-download-to-upload situation where we do it all in bulk and import the pages here? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:41, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
It could be, but I wouldn't do that immediately: if it's a little more than a hundred pages, it's no problem to copy them here, but to test whether our infrastructure works well enough you don't need all of them from the beginning. I understand that palmleaf.org is not in danger of shutting down tomorrow, they're just thinking how to sustain it longer term.
Thanks for the go-ahead, @Nemo bis:. Experimenting on multilingual Wikisource will let us move everything carefully piece by piece and make sure it's solid. I don't think we'll want to do a bulk export/import because I need to consider the best way to make the content live in Wikisource, which will require some changes or reformatting. I'm going to start with one or two pages and see how it goes. And yes, palmleaf.org will keep going indefinitely until we can figure out how to do this.

Bug T245360

Anyway, first problem (thanks Aldnonymous for pointing it out): translatewiki:Portal:Ban is formally in Bali script, but in reality it's in Latin. On the Bali Wikipedia both scripts are found, on separate pages connected by a manual link, like w:ban:Kalimantan Barat and w:ban:ᬓᬮᬶᬫᬦ᭄ᬢᬦ᭄​ᬓᭁᬄ (if you can't read the font, it's easy to find it on your software repository: in Fedora it's called google-noto-serif-balinese-fonts ). We probably need to split the locale, so that we have a Bali script locale. Then pages on ban.wiki and here can have their page content language report the actual script they're using, and the language converter would know what to do if installed. Also, palmleaf users would be able to start experimenting with writing in Bali script in our wikis: we may add a new input method, I'm told we're still accepting new ones and it's not too hard. We can then enable it right away on translatewiki.net for translators, then when the community wants it can also come here and on the Bali Wikipedia.

It seems that most users don't have a Bali font installed on their devices, so we'll need to add the Noto font to web fonts. Nemo 09:58, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
In the meantime I've contacted some active BAN speaker and the original script contributors, once the specific on translatewiki is fixed, they will translate it to the script instead into the latin.Aldnonymous (talk) 14:45, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Noto Balinese is a good start, but the current version is incomplete and cannot render many character combinations needed for palmleaf.org. That's why PanLex has worked with Aditya Bayu Perdana to develop new Balinese fonts. I believe the NC license is an issue for Wikimedia, though? If so I can see if he is willing to change that. PanLex has also created an on-screen keyboard for Balinese (deployed on palmleaf.org currently) and a Keyman keyboard layout. We could try to port the Keyman layout as an input method, but the rules are pretty complex and context-sensitive. I can look into whether it would be possible. By the way, Google has hired Bayu to fix Noto Balinese, so eventually Noto will be fine, but I don't know when the new font will be available. Lautgesetz (talk) 19:15, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

This has now been submitted as a project grant. PanLex would much appreciate any community comments or support. Thanks! Lautgesetz (talk) 23:05, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

@Lautgesetz: Why don't you also create m:Requests for new languages/Wikisource Balinese? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 23:51, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) 14:15, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Tech News: 2020-10[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

  • Readers who were not logged in briefly saw the interface in a language decided by their browser. It should normally be in the language of the wiki. This happened for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug. [20]

Changes later this week

  • If you forget your password you can ask for a new one to be sent to your email address. You need to know your email address or your username. You will now be able to choose that you need to enter both your email address and your username. This will be a preference. This is to get fewer password reset emails someone else asked for. [21]
  • When you asked for a new password you could see if the username didn't exist on Special:PasswordReset. Now the page will show the username you entered and tell you an email has been sent if the username exists. This is for better security. [22]
  • On Special:WhatLinksHere you can see what other pages link to a page. You can see if the link is from a redirect. You can now see which section the redirect links to. [23]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 March. It will be on all wikis from 5 March (calendar).

Future changes

  • The developers are working on a new interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. You can give feedback. [24]
  • There is a vote on the creation of a new user group called abuse filter manager. The vote runs from March 1 to March 31 on Meta.
  • Advanced item wgMFSpecialCaseMainPage was used for the mobile site. It was deprecated in 2017. It will stop working in April. Wikis should see if they use it. If they do they should fix it. You can read more and ask for help. This affects 183 wikis. There is a list. [25]

A bold try: Index:Vocabolardlladinleterar.pdf[edit]

Just to let you know about a running test into Index:Vocabolardlladinleterar.pdf. Both text and formatting come from extraction by pdf file itself (see Index talk:Vocabolardlladinleterar.pdf for a fast and rough hint); the book also uses templatestyles. --Alex brollo (talk) 08:21, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

What in the world am I looking at here? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:58, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
@Koavf: Please be patient, and consider that tools & tricks, unluckely, are far from being user-friendly by now.... and, being hardly work-specific, perhaps they will never be useful again. Nevertheless I'll publish python code as soon as I will fix a couple of persisting, unexpected bugs. --Alex brollo (talk) 16:32, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
@Alex brollo: I'm patient I just have no clue what this resource is. What is it? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:41, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Are you interested about book contents or about extraction tools? About the latter: there are some excellent free command line tools to manipulate pdf contents, they are collected into xpdf utilites; it's relatively easy to use them by a python script. --Alex brollo (talk) 19:34, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Both actually but I specifically meant the content of the book. Grazie. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:40, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
OK! The best I can do is to give you a wikipedia link: en:w:Ladin_language and to ping the Italian friend that asked me for some tecnhical help: @Mizardellorsa:. This book is a dictionary of Ladin language. --Alex brollo (talk) 20:17, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Scusa l'italiano: L'Università di Bolzano ha pubblicato e rilasciato con licenza libera il primo dei volumi di un grande Vocabolario in cui ciascun lemma della lingua ladina dolomitica porta l'inficazione di tutti i passi in cui è contenuta nelle opere della letteratura. Il primo volume riguarda i testi dall'inizio della letteratura fino al 1879. I testi sono già quasi tutti caricati su Wikisource. Alex brollo sta curando sistemi automatici per per estrarre i testi e formattarli.--Mizardellorsa (talk) 20:21, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
@Mizardellorsa: L'italiano ist buono. Grazie! —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:33, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

  • Some development will be slower than planned. This is because of the current pandemic. You can see the new deployment guidelines. This is to avoid risks when some persons could be unavailable.
  • There was a problem when adding interwiki links. The tool you use to add interwiki links could suggest the wrong project to link to. This has now been fixed. [33][34]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 March. It will be on all wikis from 26 March (calendar).

Future changes

  • There is a project to make editing easier for newcomers. The developers are trying to understand what initiatives different Wikipedias have to welcome newcomers. They also want to know which templates are often used for maintenance activities. You can help this project by checking if your wiki's pages are listed on Wikidata.

Hindi Translation of The Rose And The Ring[edit]

As I proofread The Rose And The Ring, one of the best translators (in their language) I know of happens to be working on a Hindi translation for it.

These as well as any artistic works must have been published in a medium that includes peer review or editorial controls; this excludes self-publication.

  • I can provide scans of their handwritten translation if it would help the proofreading process.
  • The translator is not averse to it being published online under the terms of either CC0, CC-BY, or CC-BY-SA
  • The original is underrated; a Hindi translation of such quality (given this translator's past record) unlikely to come again.

Given these circumstances, what would be the best way for me to help Wikisource and the commons benefit from this translation? -- Contrapunctus-1 (talk) 18:20, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
