Кольорове кодування при редагуванні вікірозмітки

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T101246

Вже були деякі експерименти з кольоровим кодуванням вікірозмітки (включно з відповідним ґаджетом в англійській Вікіпедії та робочою імплементацією в додатку для Android). Це можна було б перетворити на справжню функцію в розширенні WikiEditor.

Is it like mw:Extension:CodeMirror? --Pastakhov (talk) 17:40, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I low the color coding of text that WikEd gives and miss it when I edit other languages. Sometimes I even work on text from other languages on En Wikipedia because we have better tools. We need a set of tools that the WMF will install on all Wikis that wish to opt in. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:31, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This could be considered part of the "modern wikitext editor" project. Cscott (talk) 18:21, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the VisualEditor team is definitely planning on doing this as part of the modern wikitext editor project. However, it's not being actively worked on yet and probably won't be for another quarter or two. I leave it up to the Community Tech team whether to include it in their survey, but I don't think they want to take on things that other teams have fairly concrete plans to do :)—Neil P. Quinn-WMF (talk) 20:16, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, let me clarify a couple of things. The project is to build a new wikitext editor with all these features (to avoid suddenly breaking users' workflows and gadgets). This wouldn't help people who strongly want to stick with the existing editor. In addition, syntax highlighting (within the context of a VE-like wikitext editor) is apparently more complex than it seems, and may have a negative impact on performance. So the new wikitext editor will probably include syntax highlighting, but it's not 100% certain, and it may be an opt-in preference rather than the default.—Neil P. Quinn-WMF (talk) 20:43, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's actually *very* useful to include things in the community wishlist which are already on WMF roadmaps. As Neil notes, it's not a near-term project for the Visual Editor team. The community wishlist is an opportunity to rank all these different *community wishes* against each other. If this proposal ends up ranked high on the wishlist, the VE team perhaps should reprioritize their work. Conversely if it is low, they should perhaps continue to defer this. We need these feedback mechanisms to allow the community to weigh in on the priorities of WMF teams. Cscott (talk) 21:57, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  45.   Support in the form of some upgrades and bugfixes for w:Wikipedia:WikiEd, in full collaboration with en:User:Cacycle, so that they are happy with the help.  :-)     Specifically, besides lack of bracket-flashers, WikiEd is limited to supporting only desktop browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Safari plus maybe Opera), but does not support Internet Explorer, which still is used by a good-sized chunk of internet denizens. Furthermore, I don't believe there is any special support for mobile browsers, used when doing mobile editing. Because wikiEd generates a custom iframe, it would be a boon were it to be customized for this use-case: entering template-related punctuation for refs and infoboxen, for instance, would be something that could be helpfully improved so that mobile editors don't need to mess with their vkeyb endlessly (or just give up and stop clicking edit). And sure, it is true that Someday there are some plans that the WMF will be working on a Visual-Editor-like-wikitext-editor. But that is an entirely different thing. We already have a default wikitext-editor, the simple <textarea> of the mid-1990s. We already have a syntax-highlighting purely-browser-based improvement on that classic, w:Wikipedia:WikiEd, which is javascript-only <iframe>-based and thus even supports anons, if it were only available as a toggle-on toggle-off default feature of the 'pedia. You can switch back and forth from <textarea> to wikiEd-<iframe>. And yeah, someday there will be the VE-compatible-wikitext thing, which will allow you to switch from visual-editing of WYSIWYG to visual-editing of wikitext. But why wait, when we can upgrade wikiEd, with a laser-focus effort today, to make it site-wide rather than a manually-enabled-gadget or a manually-installed-greasemonkey-script? Think of it as a prototype, which will help field-test what actual wikipedians doing actual wikitext editing, will actually *want* to see in the future VE-style thing. 75.108.94.227 21:52, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Стандартний режим інтерфейсу користувача

Люди, що вже давно редагують, часто мають сильно персоналізований інтерфейс, а також доступ до різноманітних інструментів/прав, недоступних для нових користувачів. Обидва ці фактори — дуже важливі, однак це створює труднощі, коли досвідчені користувачі намагаються зрозуміти проблеми, що виникають перед новими користувачами. Як практичний приклад, під час зустрічей, спрямованих на популяризацію, чимало Вікімедійців створюють «фейкові» облікові записи спеціально для того, аби мати змогу продемонструвати новачкам «стандартний» інтерфейс користувача на екрані. Що важливо, той, хто веде презентацію, ніколи насправді не натискає кнопку «зберегти», коли показує, як редагувати, оскільки тоді такий новостворений обліковий запис отримає статус автопідтвердженого.

Я пропоную додати в налаштування користувача «режим», який робить інтерфейс користувача та його статус «стандартними» для недавно зареєстрованих користувачів. Назвіть його «режим нового користувача» чи «стандартний режим». Найголовніше те, що, при редагуванні в цьому режимі, користувач НЕ СТАВАТИМЕ «автопідтвердженим» після збереження редагувань, але вони, все ж, зараховуватимуться до його внеску. В історії вони могли б позначатися тегом #defaultMode чи чимось подібним. Wittylama (talk) 10:27, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier discussion and endorsements
Wouldn't it be easier to have a preference setting "incognito", which when on, just strips all preferences to the defaults? I think it is best to be able to act as yourself whenever possible. I understand the need, but it should be doable without an extra account. Alternatively, there could be a "Newbie" account that is not a real account (i.e. cannot save edits). This would be a variation of the sandbox theme. --Jane023 (talk) 14:35, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think that a preference setting called "incognito" implies that you're editing with the user-rights of an anon/IP editor (which is different form a newly registered/non-autoconfirmed editor). Also, "incognito" is a term used in some browsers that implies certain differences regarding privacy and tracking. I think that the word therefore sets an incorrect impression for the user about what it would mean, people might think that "being incognito" means they could leave messages without being identified by either their username or their IP, which isn't true.
When you say "it should be doable without an extra account" - yes, precisely. That's what I'm hoping for. Currently, for people to see the default interface they either have to create a new user account, or log-out and edit as an anon, both are sub-optimal approaches. What I'm suggesting is a mode that works while logged-in to your existing user-account. The "newbie" account that cannot actually save an edit is also sub-optimal for that very reason.

  1. Oppose this won't really take the place of using a fresh account if that is what is trying to be demonstrated. (e.g. Having to solve captcha's, redlinking your own pages, etc). xaosflux Talk 00:22, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2.   Oppose I sympathize with the rationale for this proposal, but I think coding it up will be rather complicated, with some unknown ramifications. The current workaround of creating a new, 'fake' account doesn't seem unreasonable. At best, this should be a very low priority. Stevie is the man! TalkWork 16:52, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand your perspective Stevietheman. I just wanted to emphasise that the 'fake' user account method has the specific drawbacks that by saving edits it will become auto-confirmed and therefore move away from being a 'new' user account, and it also means that the presenter is forking their contributions (and therefore attributions). Wittylama (talk) 20:51, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree those are drawbacks. Nevertheless, it doesn't take much work to create a fake account on the rare occasions one needs one. Also note that on someone else's new account one may be mentoring, they will also become auto-confirmed in short order. Overall, while I can see the benefits of this proposal, I think the development effort required to fully deal with all the ramifications keeps me at an 'Oppose', especially with all the other proposals that we need much more.

@Runab WMF: in the above link mentions either enabling Apertium or "get a Moses setup in place". Either Apertium or Moses, but at the moment, it's neither!

As that article mentions, it is a "“gisting” machine translation system for Welsh to English" – someone who knows Welsh would have to actually get involved with Apertium in order to create e.g. transfer rules for the other direction (currently, there are 144 transfer rules cy→en, but only 13 en→cy).

Besides, the implementation of this would have local impact only. --Piramidion 12:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Наполовину зменшити конфлікти редагувань

У всіх нас бувають конфлікти редагувань, і ті, хто залишився, щоб редагувати Вікіпедію — це в першу чергу люди, що навчилися вирішувати такі конфлікти, або ж виконувати велику кількість дрібних редагувань для того, аби мінімізувати втрачений час, коли стається конфлікт редагувань. Було багато пропозицій на Баґзіллі та деінде, аби зменшити кількість випадків конфліктів редагувань, однак для відповідної роботи не вистачало ресурсів, оскільки збереження нових редакторів раніше не було пріоритетом. Однак це — одна з тих речей, які нові редактори вважають найбільш непривітними у Вікіпедії, і зазвичай це саме новачок програє конфлікт редагувань, оскільки своє редагування вони виконують протягом декількох хвилин, тоді як люди, що проставляють категорії чи додають шаблони витрачають на це лічені секунди. (Візуальний редактор, звісно, ще більш погіршує ситуацію через неможливість редагування певного розділу окремо, а також через сповільнення редакторів.)

Зараз у нас немає навіть публічної статистики щодо кількості редакторів, втрачених через конфлікти редагувань. Простий підрахунок таких конфліктів, а також кількості випадків, коли редактор покидає сайт, могли б підтвердити, що це — одна з основних причин, чому хороші нові редактори покидають проекти, однак дійсне виправлення деяких з тих речей, що спричиняють конфлікти редагувань, забере приблизно стільки ж ресурсів.

Повне усунення конфліктів редагувань вимагало б революційних змін до інтерфейсу користувача, але щоб зменшити їх наполовину, достатньо порівняно незначного вкладення ресурсів.

До конкретних шляхів зменшення кількості конфліктів редагувань належать:

  1. Додавання шаблону на початку статті чи категорії наприкінці мають розцінюватися як редагування, що не конфліктують зі зміною решти статті.
  2. Попереднє заповнення всіх заново створених статей такими розділами, як == Примітки == та == Див. також == чи їхніми іншомовними еквівалентами.
  3. Трактування символу # як заголовка розділу — таким чином дві відповіді у двох різних гілках не будуть трактуватися як конфлікт редагувань. WereSpielChequers (talk) 20:54, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion: there was another suggestion, I believe, about adding the headline "references" (and equivalents in other languages) when someone had added a <references />-tag, or similar. Or was it to add such a tag (and header) when someone had added ref-tags? Those are not bad suggestions at least, why not the latter? Afaik ref-s are auto-displayed if a finishing references-tag is missing, but why not perhaps auto-adding? 78.82.170.236 15:41, 1 December 2015 (UTC) (who btw just got an edit conflict.. :) But I was slow.) edit: that comment was me, somehow I was logged out..

    Comment. I'd support any proposal to reduce edit conflicts, though this one is fairly minor. I have had many edit conflicts over the years, but I don't recall any of them being because of the addition of a template at the top of the article or a category at the bottom. The one that bugs me the most is bots coming in to do something very minor (such as adding a date on an existing template - usually inline). I would support the notion that certain low maintenance bot edits do not trigger edit conflicts. But surely, better than that, would be an automatic note that popped up if you went to edit an article, and someone was already editing it. A note saying: "User:XXX is currently editing this article so any edits you make will result in an edit conflict, please try again in a few moments. If you continue to have problems, you may wish to contact User:XXX". As with some others, I am not certain about point 2. While I feel adding a reference section to article pages is useful, I am not convinced that every article needs a See also section. SilkTork (talk) 09:19, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  42.   Support the proposal in general. But the description of the issue is a bit inaccurate. This may not be true for the newbies, but as for me, when I get an edit conflict, that's not a problem nearly at all. Of course, it consumes a few seconds and might be annoying, but I never lose my text. If I get a conflict, nothing prevents me from going back in my browser to copy what I've typed, and then pasting it where I intended to. Yes, newbies might not know these «workarounds», so that's really a problem for them. But I really don't understand why should an experienced editor need «to do lots of little edits in order to minimise the time lost» - I could rewrite a whole article in one edit without being afraid that an edit conflict takes place. It's just confusing that there might be experienced contributors that don't know such simple things.--Piramidion 11:55, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  43.   Support, because I often make large edits, which touch a half-dozen places (or more). If somebody has messed with *any one* of those places, e/c. And sure, I can manually find the five places where there *was* not actually a conflict... but that the "overly-cautious" mediawiki software prevented me from saving... and redo them, along with the one bit that actually caused the edit-conflict. I can imagine that VE-users will experience equally bad results, especially as they are starting to get ambitious. Imagine you are a beginning editor. Making a few typo-corrections, gives you a sense of accomplishment. So you start working on bigger changes. You are a good potential wikipedian, so you think hard about them, and you are a beginner at wikitext, so it takes you several preview-cycles to get it exactly right. Finally, your first major edit (or 2nd or 3rd or 4th... but not 1000th... you will get a LOT of edit-conflicts before you hit 1000 edit-count, especially if you make LARGE or complex edits). You click save. Edit conflict! Gumption trap. As for experienced editors, smarter software that doesn't have edit-conflicts will save them some time and annoyance; not much, just a few seconds and a slight amount of annoyance... but multiply the savings across ALL the long-haul highly-active editors, and you have improved efficiency... plus more importantly, morale. 75.108.94.227 22:04, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  Endorsed improvements to diff. My pet peeve is when diff gets confused and lists unchanged paragraphs as both - and + text. It would also be nice if diff were smart enough to avoid cutting two <tags> in half (start and endpoints of diff-text inside tags) when it would be much cleaner to align on the tag boundary. I'm sure there's a lot that could be improved if diffs were targeted as a project. Alsee (talk) 20:22, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Endorsed. This sounds like a good idea, since I think it would be a very useful improvement.

Comment: (strong support), and in particular, please make the diff-view *interactive* so that I can use the mouse (or the finger on touchscreens) to "pull" parts of the diff which were incorrectly positioned by the software, into the correct location. Make sure you field-test the new diff-view with BEGINNING editors, people who have never used git in their life, people who don't live on the command-line. The color-coding and visual cues of the current diff-view are terrible confusing for beginning-wikipedians, in my experience. Be bold in trying to improve this feature, it is crucial to any serious collaborative work on controversial topics (politics/religion/emacs-vs-vim/etc), and in the current primitive state is almost painful to utilize. Go whole-hog on this one, maximize the resources thrown at it. It will be tempting to just take whatever existing FLOSS code for diffs is easily available, and give that a few tweaks. Don't do that. Sure, draw on the existing diff-app-ecosphere: but wikipedia needs a rock-solid diff, one which rarely makes mistakes, is interactively fixable when it does make errors, and overall is instantly clear to beginners who may never have seen a diff-tool in their lives.

Earlier discussion and endorsements
  •   Endorsed I don't recall ever seeing this template used (although I'm sure I could find out how many transclusions there are), but I think most editors are unaware of it, and usage seems more complicated than should be necessary. The ability to name a reference, and then within the subsequent citations, to simply add "page=27" or whatnot would simplify this and help reduce reference clutter on articles that cite multiple pages from the same source.

  •   Comment Rather than limit things to <ref name=blah page=42/> allowing either that form or <ref name=blah note="page=42"/> where the "note" is arbitrary and can be "chapter=3" or, for non-book items like web sites that require clicks to "un-hide" content or which don't allow direct deep linking, instructions like "Click on 'show more' tab" or "click on News->Archives->June 2015->Storm destroys Atlantis".

  42.   Strong support This request is not redundant with {{sfn}} and {{efn}} and friends. Sure, those are slick templates. And sure, you *can* make a multi-section ref-architecture, which "solves" the problem this proposal is aiming to solve. *If* you are willing to settle for an inelegant solution, with weird syntax, which doesn't make ANY sense to beginning-editors. Or even to intermediate-level editors, for that matter. See also, harvnb, #tag workarounds, and other such things. Anything involving curly-braces in addition to <ref>-tags, is basically a kludge. That goes for general-purpose efn/sfn/etc curly-brace magic. That also goes for special-purpose {{rp}} which kinda-sorta solves this specific problem... but again, in somewhat inelegant fashion. This proposal is to SOLVE the problem, in an elegant fashion: according to implementation-phase-one outlined in phab:T100645, the basic idea is to add to XML attribs to the <ref>-tag, so that editors can modify the underlying {{cite book}} parameters on the fly. Now that is elegant. Even more elegant, would be to add some additional power to the <ref>-tag attributes, so that *arbitrary* portions of the underlying {{citation}} form could be replaced on the fly. So for instance, the main use-case here is about writing an article, sourced to a 999-page book, and wanting to cite specific sentences-or-paragraphs of the article-prose, to specific pages of the book in question. Here is what would be ideal to be able to utilize: first, define the book as a reference. {{reflist|refs= <ref name=stokes'10>{{cite book |title=Isaac Newton |author=Mitch Stokes |year=2010 |isbn=1-59555-303-7 |page=111 }}</ref> }} Next, in the body-prose of the article, say things like <ref name=stokes'10 page=222 /> and later for a different factoid <ref name=stokes'10 page=333 />. Now sure, you can do SOMETHING kinda equivalent using {{rp}} or {{efn}} kludges, that is true. But those are complicated syntax, and *still* limited. Consider the power to override other cite-template-params, besides the page-num, using ref-tag-attribs: what if you were working from the paperback, not the hardback? Simply say <ref name=stokes'10 page=444 isbn=2-60444-292-8 /> to indicate page 444 in the paperback edition. What if you are working from books.google.com? You can override the |url= param like this: <ref name=stokes'10 page=555 url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zpsoSXCeg5gC&pg=PA5552 />. Being able to override the |url= param is *extremely* useful when citing television shows such as C-SPAN's video uploads, for instance, the 2008 POTUS debates: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DvdfO0lq4rQ#t=111s which is distinct from http://youtube.com/watch?v=DvdfO0lq4rQ#t=222s. I would also like to be able to override the |quote= parameter, for when I am pulling five distinct factoids from a 5000-word blog-post, *without* endlessly repeating all the cite-web params. Now, it would be exceedingly rare to need to override cite-template params in ALL these ways (page/isbn/url/quote/etc) during the course of editing a single article... but implementation-phase-two of this proposal, it to store the ref-data as part of wikidata, and thus be able to use the same cite-template-data in multiple wikipedia articles. Unless there is a way to override the cite-template-params, using the ref-tag, this second phase cannot be made to work. Strong support on this idea. See also the related proposal, Editing#Nested_tag_support (and phab:T3310), which would be another way to elegantly solve this problem, albeit probably more difficult to implement without breaking existing wikipedia conventions. 75.108.94.227 18:56, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]



Обєднання Перекладу вмісту та Візуального редактора в один інструмент

Концепція Перекладу вмісту дуже хороша. Найбільші мовні версії Вікіпедії (особливо англомовна) є основними джерелами для перекладу статей на інші мови. Але в поточній формі Перекладу вмісту Ви можете лише перекласти статтю, та не можете додавати інформацію з інших джерел, додавати локальні шаблони, чи навіть змінювати/додавати медіафайли, аж доки не опублікуєте статтю. Моя пропозиція полягає в тому, аби об'єднати Переклад вмісту та Візуальний редактор в один інструмент, в якому переклад був би всього лиш опцією. בנימין (talk) 15:16, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Дописувачі сторінки

Перед переходом на tool labs (сподіваюся, я використав коректну назву?), в англійській Вікіпедії ми мали чудовий невеличкий інструмент, який був значно більш просунутим у порівняння з тим, що ми зараз маємо під заголовком Top 50 contributors.

Простим клацанням кнопки можна було перевірити ВСІХ редакторів, які коли-небудь редагували певну сторінку, при чому їх можна було сортувати 8-ма різними способами. Це буває корисно, коли треба оцінити рівень активності у різних вікіпроектах, і стає справді зручно для когось, такого як я, хто лише дуже зрідка бере участь в дискусіях на сторінках обговорень, але хоче мати хоч якесь уявлення про потенційних слухачів, перш ніж робити з себе цілковитого дурня.

Той інструмент виводив список усіх редакторів, що редагували певну сторінку. Було 4 колонки, кожну з яких можна було сортувати у два боки:

  • ID користувача
  • кількість редагувань на сторінці
  • дата першого редагування
  • дата останнього редагування

Інструмент працював швидко і рідко (якщо взагалі) давав збої, тоді як поточний інструмент подає лише 50 редакторів із найбільшим внеском для цієї сторінки, і цей список не можна сортувати, а також інструмент часто ламається.

Збереження редагувань перед публікацією

Часто я думаю про те, що хотів би зберегти редагування - тобто, хотів би зберегти його в самій системі, але все ще не публікуючи. Вам відома ця відмінність значень із Wordpress, де «збереження» відрізняється від «публікування». особливо мені б хотілося бачити таку функцію в Перекладі вмісту. До речі, іноді в мене виникали проблеми, коли я редагував у вікні редактора, і в цей час зникало з'єднання з інтернетом; зберігати текст лише з міркувань безпеки було б чудово.

Прості обчислення в таблицях

Я так розумію, що розробники важко працюють над тим, аби спростити процес створення таблиць у візуальному редакторі. Нам ще порівняно далеко до досягнення цієї мети, і нещодавно я спостерігав регрес у цьому плані, але ми вже наближаємось до того, щоб мати змогу копіювати та вставляти наявні таблиці із електронних табличних аркушів безпосередньо у вікно редагування. Станом на зараз, це дає змогу переносити дані клітинка за клітинкою, але не дозволяє користувачам виконувати традиційні табличні функції, такі як проста математика (напр., сума даних, поданих в одній колонці, співвідношення між двома клітинками). Тоді як функціонал електронних табличних аркушів виходить далеко за межі того, що має стати доступним у MediaWiki, я вбачаю величезну цінність у впровадженні деяких простих концепцій, таких як можливість визначення суми чи співвідношення. (Я б також не проти мати можливість приховувати колонки, що, я підозрюю, технічно можливо, але може бути нетривіальним завданням. З радістю поясню, якщо потреба в цьому для когось буде неочевидною).

Редактори, що не стежать за спортивними подіями уважно, можуть бути не в курсі, що ми маємо численні сотні, якщо не тисячі, статей з таблицями, в яких містяться історичні спортивні результати команд, тренерів та окремих гравців. Як приклад, перегляньте статтю про Джона Терстона.

Якщо коротко, основна проблема полягає в тому, що хоча це й неважко додати один рік до шаблону, чи оновити шаблон, коли команда перемагає, але проміжні підсумки за тренером, за конференцією, проти загальних, збірних результатів поза конференцією, а також відсоток перемог не оновлюються автоматично — їх треба редагувати вручну.

Такий стан речей створює дві проблеми:

  1. Важче, ніж повинно бути — оновлення єдиної гри є непростим завданням — замість зміни одного поля, редакторові іноді доводиться редагувати цілих вісім полів. Або, може, шість, чи чотири — залежно від статті.
  2. Помилки зберігаються — якщо будь-коли будь-який редактор зробить помилку, проміжні результати, так само як і загальні результати будуть хибними, і наступне редагування, яким буде просто доданий наступний приріст до загалу — не виправить помилки, а збереже її. (Крім того, якщо будь-який редактор помітить, що проміжні підсумки хибні і виправить їх, вони можуть все ж залишитися хибними, якщо хтось зробив помилку деінде, в окремій клітинці — загальний підрахунок даних в таблиці буде вірним, але індивідуальна клітинка міститиме хибну інформацію, тому й підсумок буде хибним. Якщо програмне забезпечення не вираховує загальну суму самостійно, то окремі дані та загальна сума можуть бути невідповідними.)

Аби проілюструвати,

  • Поточний підхід, коли команда/гравець отримує перемогу:
  1. Збільшується кількість переможних сезонів
  2. Якщо це конференційна гра, збільшується кількість переможних сезонів
  3. Якщо наявний шаблон, що подає відсоток перемог, збільшується кількість перемог
  4. Збільшується кількість перемог для тренера
  5. Якщо це конференційна гра, збільшується кількість переможних сезонів у конференції для тренера
  6. Якщо наявний шаблон, що подає відсоток перемог, збільшується загальна кількість перемог для тренера
  7. Збільшується кількість перемог за весь час
  8. Якщо наявний шаблон, що подає відсоток перемог, збільшується загальна кількість перемог за весь час
  • Пропонований підхід, коли команда/гравець отримує перемогу:
  1. Збільшення кількості перемог у полі для коференції, якщо це конференційна гра, або ж у звичайному полі, якщо це не конференційна гра (потім програмне забезпечення самостійно вираховує всі загальні суми та відсоткові співвідношення).

Я презентував це у контексті спортивних таблиць, але у Вікіпедії існує багато інших таблиць, які теж час від часу потребують оновлення. У випадках, коли ці таблиці мають проміжні та загальні сумарні результати, для них можуть бути актуальними такі ж проблеми — дані в таблиці можуть не узгоджуватися із сумарними значеннями. Редакторам в таких випадках просто треба буде відредагувати індивідуальні значення і дозволити комп'ютерові виконати решту обчислень.

Не знаю, чи це потрапляє в сферу тих типів речей, які вважаються прийнятними для цього опитування. Якщо підпадає, то я хочу зауважити, що моє коротке пояснення вгорі є далеко не адекватним, і я добровільно беруся виписати значно краще підібрані приклади для пояснення, а також відповісти на зауваження щодо специфікацій.--Sphilbrick (talk) 17:23, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It may be possible to already do this via Lua Modules. I don't have much experience with writing Lua Modules myself, but maybe someone like Mr. Stradivarius would have a better idea. Ryan Kaldari (WMF) (talk) 03:03, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What Sphilbrick describes isn't quite possible in Scribunto. For someone to be able to edit certain rows of a table with VisualEditor and have other rows of that table updated by Lua modules, you would need to have one module invocation for each cell that you want updated. To do this, you would need to grab the latest wikitext revision of the page and then attempt to parse it to determine the module output. However, there are two problems with this: a) parsing wikitext reliably is really hard (for those who have never seen it, take a look at Parser.php), and b) the module output won't be updated on page preview, as it only uses the latest saved revision of the page. To do this properly in Lua you would need to replace the entire table with a template invocation. However, then you wouldn't be able to edit it with VisualEditor (at least not directly). — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 07:43, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Mr. Stradivarius: I was thinking about an all template solution. For example, why can't the Compact election box template on en.wiki compute all the percentages for you based on the votes rather than requiring you to compute and enter them as separate parameters? I imagine this could be handled with some math and rounding functions in Lua, right? FWIW, I don't expect spreadsheet features will be added into VisualEditor any time soon. I just don't think there's enough demand for it given the trade-off of making the table editing interface a lot more complicated (but who knows). I'm not on the Editing team, so I can't speak for them. Ryan Kaldari (WMF) (talk) 00:22, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Sphilbrick:. "we are close to being able to copy and paste an existing table from a spreadsheet directly into an editing window." Can you link to any info on this? I wrote up a roundabout way to do this: Commons:Convert tables and charts to wiki code or image files. See section titled "Web to LibreOffice Calc to tab2wiki". I guess you can do something similar to solve some of the simple math stuff you are trying to do. Paste the wiki table into LibreOffice Calc, or into a tool at the Wikimedia Tool Labs. Then do the math there. Get the new table back in wikitext format directly, or by pasting the revised Calc spreadsheet into tab2wiki. --Timeshifter (talk) 14:31, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Перетворити RefToolbar у розширення MediaWiki (або додати його до розширення WikiEditor)

Станом на зараз, ґаджет Reftoolbar доступний лише в англійській Вікіпедії (хоча існує дуже обмежена його версія у Вікіпедії мовою малаялам). Вже досить часто люди висловлюються на користь перетворення цього ґаджета у розширення, яке б могли використовувати й інші Вікіпедії.
