- Oppose WMF specific and well within the capability of volunteer editors. There is no need for this to be an extension, the gadgets above should be sufficient.

「コピーペースト調査」ボットを改善する
現在、ウィキペディア英語版では著作権問題の検出に「すべての」新しい編集を分析するボットがあります。その出力はここにあります。このボットは他言語版の一部でも使える見込みがあります。
問題なのは、確実性が足りていないこと。また、著作権問題の表示は改善できます。もし出力機能が拡張機能化され、en:Special:NewPagesFeedと同じような表示になったらいいですね。
現在、出力はウィキプロジェクト順にソートできます。各プロジェクトのページ用にウィキプロジェクトごとのモジュールを作成するのもいいかもしれません。 Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:45, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

トークページにおける有害な交流を減らすための機械学習ツール
- 提案
Build an AI tool to identify occurrences of apparent talk page abuse in the English Wikipedia in real time, building on existing en:WP functions such as タグや編集フィルターなどウィキペディア英語版で既存の機能も使って、ウィキペディア英語版のトークページの明らかな悪用をリアルタイムで検出するAIツールの作成。
- 予想される利点
- 編集フィルターで利用者にコメントを変更して妥当なものにするよう警告することができる:
- 実際に投稿される、トークページを悪用した発言を減らす。
- 編集者は最近の更新でタグ付けされた編集を見ることができる:
- 利用者がセクハラなどの悪用に直面しているトークページに第三者の注目を集めることができる。
- 応答までに要する時間を減らし、被害者が管理者に助けを求める負担を軽くする。
- トークページにおける紛争拡大を防ぐ。
- トークページの文化を改善する。
- 編集者の定着率を上げる。
この提案に関する先行議論はhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Proposed:_Tag_.2F_edit_filter_for_talk_page_abuseをご参照ください。
User:Dennyが昨日Wikimedia-lのメーリングリストで指摘した通り、似たようなプロジェクトがLeague of Legendsというオンラインゲームのコミュニティで実行されたと報道されました。このプロジェクトは暴言を4割以上減らし、社交活動の質を上げるという目的に成功したという。
同プロジェクトでは「インターネット上の有害な言葉の87パーセントはたまたま悪い日にあった、中立的や楽観的な一般人が書いた。[...]人々のインターネット上の社会についての考え方を変え、何が受け入れられるかという予想を変える必要がある。」という興味深い発見もあった。これはウィキペディアにも適用できると思われます。
ゲームデザイナーと科学者はまず、コミュニティが非生産的としている交流(暴言、いやがらせ、悪用)の巨大なデータベースを構築、続いてこのデータベースで機械学習を行い、交流の質の評価をリアルタイムで提供することができた。(建設的、協同的な交流の鑑定も行った)
わたしは、財団にこのアプローチがウィキメディアのコミュニティでの似たような問題にも適用できるかを探究してみたいです。例えば、ウィキペディア英語版で版指定削除やオーバーサイトされているトークページの発言は最初のデータになり、またLeague of Legendsのコミュニティと同じように、外部のラボや研究施設にデータ分析を頼むこともできます。
大量の偽陽性検出を防ぐシステムの構築には大きな困難を伴いますが、これはClueBotのプログラミングですでに通った道であり、League of Legendsのチームはこの挑戦を乗り越えたと思われます:「語彙を分類するだけなら簡単だが、皮肉や受動攻撃性のある言葉の検出はどうか?紛争解決を支持する語句などより建設的な発言の検出は?より難しい問題を解決すべく、私たちはワールドクラスのラボと提携したいです。私たちは一緒にデータを分析して、問題を解決する機会を与えた。科学者たちはこの機会を利用して力を発揮、問題の解明を進めた。私たちは他人との間の交流、言語が時とともに変遷する仕組み、年齢と発言の害との関係をよりよく理解しました。驚いたことに、インターネット上の社会では年齢と発言の害の間には特に関係がなかった。」
このようにプロジェクトが成功した場合、ほかのウィキメディアのプロジェクトに同じように提案することもできます。これはウィキペディア英語版における長期的で議論しつくされた問題を解決し、財団をインターネット文化の最先端に置くことができます。 Andreas JN466 20:03, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

- Comment: This is something I mentioned to an OS during Wikimania actually. Basically, imagine a system that automatically hides suspicious edits pending OS review. Think of it like FlaggedRevs but with a more strict set of rules. Certain OSable content is fairly trivial to spot. Emails and phone numbers, social security numbers etc. follow a certain pattern detectable with a simple regex for example. AI would learn such rules. We often see same content be reposted as well. I would propose a OSed content campaign where clustered content would be hand labelled by humans (perhaps oversight users to avoid privacy concerns). Humans would go through the unsupervised clusters and label them (this one looks like a phone number so it should be hidden, that one looks ok so it doesn't need to be hidden) and we can then use this to train AI (clustering or multi class classification). AI would develop a level of confidence of "bad content" such that if the post is above a certain threshold it would be hidden until reviewed by AI. -- とある白い猫 chi? 19:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose any project for English Wikipedia only. A Community Tech project must be a global one, but making a reasonable machine learning tool for detecting problematic talk page comments is a huge challenge even for one language (as our words may be offensive of not depending on the context), and would take an unreasonable number of resources for all wikis — NickK (talk) 10:03, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

- Neutral Searching for strings that could be phone numbers, social security numbers, and other sensitive information sounds like a great project, but this seems too nebulous/open-ended, with too many areas that can go wrong beyond those numeric strings which seems like a much more doable project that enwp could do on its own, since it's less applicable elsewhere. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:13, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- Neutral I like the idea, but I'm not sure we have sufficient actual-human resources to positively analyze and act upon the talk-abuse occurrences such a bot would detect, nor do I have confidence in the Foundation staff's technical abilities to develop such a bot.

切れたリンクをウェイバックマシンに移行する
外部リンクの大半はリンク切れになるまで平均で約7年の寿命があります。ウィキペディアが成熟するにつれ、外部リンク切れの問題はますます厳しくなります。インターネットアーカイブはウィキペディアと提携して、新しい外部リンクの全てがアーカイブされるようにしましたが、アーカイブへのリンクをウィキペディアに追加する正式なプロセス(例えば、cite web |archiveurl=..
の機能を使用するなど)はありません。様々なボットで自動化することは試みられてきた(en:WP:Link rotを参照)が、開発は簡単ではなく、ボランティアによる試みは幾度と失敗した。必要なのはおそらく専任の開発チームで、余暇を利用して開発を進むボランティア数人でできる範囲外でしょう。この取り組みはMediaWikiが後援して、すべての記事の質を大きく影響できるものです。 -- Green Cardamom (talk) 19:27, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia was successful against its competitors because it provided up to date content in any way you want. Now, it's becoming a museum.

Also, I don't want to see perfectly good original links replaced with archive links from the reader's point of view -- this replacement should only occur if the original link is dead. Another concern is that sometimes webpages migrate without proper redirects instead of truly going dead -- might we also have a tool that hunts around for where the webpage moved to, so we can maintain a fresh original link?

- Neutral It's a little hard to support this as long as IA maintains their policy of retroactively applying robots.txt. In the worst case, some domain is archived for years and the archive links are used, then the registration expires, the domain is scooped up by a squatter or some other company, they put up a robots.txt denying access, and boom, the existing archives for the former site under that domain are inaccessible. Or a site is bought out by some other company, and the new company redirects every URL from the old site to their existing homepage and throws up a robots.txt denying access to everything on the old site so as to prevent Google potentially penalizing it as a SEO trick, and boom, the existing archives for the old site are inaccessible. Or a site just reorganizes everything and puts up a robots.txt blocking access to the old URLs to get them out of Google searches, and boom, the archives for the old pages are inaccessible. Anomie (talk) 14:53, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- The situations you describe happen rather rarely. More commonly seen are: 1) rare cases where robots.txt is changed for "censorship" purposes (this usually means the matter is controversial and there are probably secondary sources); 2) widespread cases of domain parkers which buy hundreds of thousands of domains and block everything in their robots.txt (these are usually smaller websites, but not always; it would be interesting to see how many are used as sources on Wikimedia wikis).

- Support Wittylama (talk) 15:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC) While the Internet Archive is an excellent 'catch all' source, I'd also like to see this solution be able to address the fact that many national libraries already perform web-archiving of their national domain. For example, the Pandora service of the National Library of Australia has a far more professional and consistent archive of Australian content than IA does, but it is done on a 'permission' basis due to local law. It would be good if any tool build to solve this request could be made to search other notable web-archives too. Wittylama (talk) 15:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Like Internet Archive, Pandora is member of the IIPC (International Internet Preservation Consortium), so they're supposedly already working together. Perhaps Wikimedia Foundation should join the consortium? If I understand correctly, your point is that we should look for more sources: that should be rather easy as long as they are IIPC members and use compatible tooling. In the long term, if WMF joined the IIPC, then it could push for some sort of federated openwayback (or just send patches upstream?).
- For now however, the main goal is probably to somehow store the archived URLs MediaWiki-side so that some sort of parsing can happen to fix links without running bots on hundreds wikis. Otherwise, bot owners are in a better position to deal with the issue. Nemo 07:34, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

If implemented, we need to build on existing work conversation with these teams. Sadads (talk) 15:43, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

- Support This is a serious issue which definitely needs to be worked on, and is, in the end, going to need a much more permanent and inventive fix. I don't know if a full-on editing team is required -- maybe just an improved bot, or a section on some kind of common page (like the Wikpedia Community Portal) listing pages tagged with a "improve dead links" template (which would need to be created, I believe). I also definitely agree with user Sadads above, that any work done should build off of editors' current efforts, rather than starting completely from scratch. -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 17:11, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

- Comment Often, there is a better ("live") replacement for a dead link than the Wayback Machine's archived version. An automated process could discourage people from actively looking for such a replacement. Using an archived version should always be seen as a last-resort option; I'm not convinced that a blindly acting bot is what is needed here. Gestumblindi (talk) 01:11, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

- Support but not without hesitation. Basically I agree with arguments used by Gestumblindi (discouraging pepole from active looking for "live" replacements)". On the other hand however an old link is better than none. Pawel Niemczuk (talk) 02:48, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

- Neutral-- I am Pascal Martin, creator of Wikiwix, the French wikipedia link archiver since 2008. We host 80 million links from fr.wikipedia.org on our archive. We also archive the English ( not sure all ) Hungarian and Romanian link sources although we do not link to these. I think that a better solution than having all links archived by IA would be to allow users a choice of which archive version to use. This already works very well on dead links on fr.wikipedia.org, as for example in references 4 and 5 on this article: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_de_gauche_(France).And if Wikimedia Fondation is thinking of sponsoring someone for archives, Wikiwix would like to be considered for the job!
