Capacidad para activar el editor de código independientemente de la barra de herramientas de edición mejorada

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T47850

Para mi la barra de herramientas de edición mejorada solo es útil por el coloreado del código así que me gustaría que fuera posible activarla solamente si estoy editando páginas con código Lua, JavaScript o CSS. --AS (talk) 09:31, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A code editor appears whenever you want to edit a Lua / JavaScript / CSS page regardless of your "enhanced editing toolbar" preferences, isn't it? I believe this is true at least in mediawiki.org.--Qgil-WMF (talk) 08:34, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, the code editor is part of the enhanced toolbar (integrated into the WikiEditor extension). Disabling it will disable the code editor. Bawolff (talk) 04:12, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Citar : Compartir : Exportar

Propongo consolidar y reemplazar varios elementos en la barra lateral, notablemente en la sección «Imprimir/Exportar», lo que ayudará con la habilidad de compartir y descubrir los artículos y que también ayudaría a resolver el tema sensible de las redes sociales en Wikipedia. La nueva herramienta se llamaría «Compartir | Citar | Exportar». Cuando los usuarios presionen el botón se abrirá un cuadro de diálogo simple y sencillo, sobre la página, con tres grupos o pestañas. La comunidad local de cada wiki decidiría cuales opciones estarían disponibles en cada grupo.

Grupo 1 sería Citar y esto haber poco dropdown cajas para cualquier formato deseado - Harvard, BibTeX, MLA, Zotero... Esto también tendría un enlace claro a una página de documentación como w:Wikipedia:La_ayuda_de Búsqueda/de Biblioteca_de Wikipedia

El grupo 2 sería Compartir. Este tendría:

  • Enlace estable a la versión actual.
  • URL corto.
  • Código QR (idealmente el código QRpedia).
  • Enlaces para compartir en cualesquiera sean las redes sociales relevantes. La Wikipedia en inglés ciertamente incluiría Twitter y Facebook pero la wikipedia en chino definitivamente incluiría Weibo y otros.

El grupo 3 sería Exportar e incluiría las opciones actualmente en la sección «Imprimir/Exportar» de la barra lateral:

  • Versión para imprimir.
  • Descargar como PDF.
  • Crear libro.
  • La herramienta Gather también podría ir aquí (siendo honesto, no estoy seguro como se supone que interactúa con la lista de seguimiento y con la función para crear libros).

El diseño visual de este sistema, el orden de los grupos y el orden de los elementos dentro de los grupos necesitarán una investigación detallada sobre interacciones de usuario porque la idea es que «agrupe todas las funciones relacionadas a compartir información» pero también debe ser intuitivo y no debe abrumar al usuario con documentación.

  1.   Comment Comparing your proposal to the current system (at least at en.wikipedia.org), there are currently five links on the left: (1) "Cite this page", which is virtually identical to your Group 1 (or could be made identical with minor tweaks; essentially no programming required; (2) "Permanent link", which is one of four items in your Group 2; and (3) through (5) - three links in the "Print/export" section, which are essentially your Group 3. So you're basically proposing (your Group 2) to add some sharing options. Plus, rather than the reader seeing five links, you want to start with one, which opens a dialog box showing three choices (tabs) - your three groups, which then further expands, depending on the tab chosen. John Broughton (talk) 04:35, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Correct, the primary work here is in interface improvements and design, not in technical difficulty. Bringing together related types of actions that are currently spread across the sidebar and/or exist as external tools, and enabling the community to determine the order/composition of these actions, will simplify the user-interface thereby encouraging more and better quality (in terms of attribution etc.) sharing of our content. Wittylama (talk) 15:26, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mecanismo colaborativo para generar gráficos SVG/PNG usando módulos Lua

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T66460

Extension:EasyTimeline carece de funciones esenciales y no puede desplegar texto en alfabetos diferentes al latino. La comunidad de Wikipedia también creó árboles genealógicos a mano usando tablas HTML. Por ejemplo: en:Template:Inglis family tree. Ahora que disponemos de un lenguaje de programación apropiado en las wikis de Wikimedia, sería bueno si pudiéramos generar gráficos SVG o PNG usando código Lua o wikicódigo, algo como mw:Extension:Inline SVG extension pero actualizado y listo para usar o adoptando alguna de las interfaces Lua de la biblioteca gráfica Cairo. --ebrahimtalk 23:16, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Crear un robot para mostrar cambios en los artículos de cada Wikiproyecto

  • Problema: Estoy trabajando en artículos sobre gastrópodos (= gusanos) y ya tenemos más de 30 000 artículos en w:en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods. Ya hay un robot para identificar artículos nuevos (en:User:AlexNewArtBot/GastropodsSearchResult) pero no para identificar cambios a los artículos existentes. Esto hace casi imposible darle seguimento a todos esos cambios y eliminar el posible vandalismo. Lo mismo pasa en todos los otros wikiproyectos.
  • Esto beneficiaría a todos los usuarios.
  • Solución propuesta: Crear un robot para cada wikiproyecto, que le de seguimiento a los cambios en cada wikiproyecto. Los artículos en cada wikiproyecto son fáciles de identificar ya que tienen una plantilla dedicada en su página de discusión. JoJan (talk) 14:54, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1.   Support The easiest way to implement this is to have a (hidden) watchlist that contains all the articles that "belong" to a WikiProject. (The list of articles is known, for example, by the assessment tool that now produces a summary table of the articles with different assessments, by importance, for each WikiProject.) Then all that's needed is a standard watchlist report (or reports) that can be invoked by anyone, which uses the (hidden) watchlist. John Broughton (talk) 05:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  9.   Comment I agree with Orlodrim that implementing phab:T117122 is the way to go, although there's already an "Associated namespace" checkbox on Special:RecentChangesLinked, but to my recent astonishment, means only actual category members in the associated namespace.

API/GUI para estadísticas de editores

Crear una interfaz de programación de aplicaciones y una interfaz de usuario que pueda mostrar información como:

  • ¿Cuántas visitas tienen los artículos, que no son redirecciones, creados por el usuario X a lo largo de toda su vida?
  • ¿Cuántos bytes de texto ha agregado el usuario X a todos los artículos de Wikipedia?
  • ¿Cuantos días el usuario X ha editado activamente en Wikipedia desde que su cuenta fue creada? Y ¿cuál es su nivel de actividad en los últimos 6 meses?
  • ¿Cuáles son las 5 categorías de artículos de wikiproyectos en las cuales el usuario X ha editado más frecuentemente en toda su vida? ¿En los últimos 6 meses?

Creo que estas, y otras consultas similares, se podrían usar para crear un tablero de colaboradores (junto con otras estadísticas) que podrían mostrar gran cantidad de información consolidada sobre quienes hacen que cosas y en que cantidad. La meta sería crear instantáneas del trabajo de la gente que ayudarían a identificar a quienes contactar y con quienes se está trabajando. También serviría como un potencial motivador, similar a los de los juegos, que le permitiría a los editores ver el crecimiento de sus estadísticas a través del tiempo.

Clarifying who writes Wikipedia would improve transparency. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:06, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I love this proposal. We worked on making pageview stats publicly available, and that will be announced literally within a day or so. It's not queryable in the exact way requested here, but it wouldn't be hard to add another endpoint. Look out on the Analytics mailing list for an announcement and comment exactly how you'd like it improved. And we're focusing on edit data for the next 6 months at least (making it publicly queryable from a stable API). So the data for this is really close, now we just need some sort of user profile to dump it into, and various teams at the foundation have worked on that.

  Oppose. Contributing to Wikimedia projects is not a game, and should not be presented as such. Points two and three are enough to reject this -- we want quality contributions, and yes, that includes removing content that does not belong. Quality cannot be measured by the number of bytes added or edits made. MER-C (talk) 16:10, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Comment I would endorse filling in any missing API elements so that this is possible to do in an efficient way that doesn't tax the servers, but rather than spending time an energy working on this, leave it up to third party coders to write the user interface. Why? Because I don't see this as being heavily used AND it's not the kind of thing that really needs to be part of the Wikimedia software to be useful - it's just as useful as an external tool. Davidwr/talk 18:49, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1.   Comment I think that it's important to determine how computationally intense each of these features is, and to drop those which require huge amounts of computer cycles. For example, for someone who has (say) a total of 20,000 edits in mainspace, determining the top five WikiProjects edited of the editor's lifetime might be implemented by (a) building a table of unique pages/articles edited, with a count included in each row of the table - so, perhaps 3,000 rows; (b) checking each article talk page (3,000), and, in a separate table, building a edit-Wikiproject row for each WikiProject found on an individual article talk page (if an average of two, then 6,000 rows). Unfortunately, while (a) can be done incrementally/cumulatively, (b) cannot, because at any time the WikiProjects listed on any given article talk page can change. So even if an editor hasn't edited in (say) a week, (b) has to be done again if the top five WikiProject list is to be accurate. And if an editor expects to see his/her dashboard to be up-to-date at all times - well, that's essentially impossible. John Broughton (talk) 05:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2.   Neutral I agree with user John Broughton's points above; this would be very difficult. It does seem mildly useful, but more than that, it seems like making Wikipedia into a competition, with a leaderboard and user statistics. I think that getting a feel for an editor's past work does involve more research than one might want to do (currently), but that's not really a bad thing, and it does help protect user privacy and discourage "I have more edits than you do" fighting (not sure that's the right word). -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 17:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  4.   Oppose There's some minor useful purpose to knowing these things, but all the development work and computation to keep this going just doesn't make it rise above the lowest of priorities. Maybe this could be looked at again in the future, but there are far more important proposals for us to proceed with today. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 20:38, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  5.   Comment "How many bytes of text has User X added to all Wikipedia articles?" is meaningless. Reverting vandalism can easily make you add tens of thousands bytes in one edit, sometimes several such edits in a row if a vandal keeps blanking a large article. That would dominate normal edits. Gap9551 (talk) 23:14, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  7.   Oppose. Neither article count nor bytes added are adequate measures of a contributor's impact on a project. Curating Wikimedia projects is serious business -- it is neither a competition nor a game. This needs to be super low priority, if it is even considered. MER-C (talk) 17:10, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  8.   Support Academics need to be able to measure their impact to justify spending time editing Wikipedia, and this would be a small step towards some better metrics than "edit counts". See Stuart C. Ray's 42 minute WikiConference USA talk: "Are the Obstacles Academic?" (Starts at 4 hours and 36 minutes). Some statistics would also help motivate existing editors who rarely see much impact from their work. —Pengo (talk) 21:34, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  9.   Comment On a related note, it would be interesting to count the total number of <ref>-tags a user has added (while not subtracting removal of such tags). Gap9551 (talk) 23:25, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cambios a la interfaz del Programa Educativo

Como un educador que usa las páginas de la extensión del programa educativo, me gustaría que se les hicieran los siguientes cambios:

  1. Especial:Estudiantes no tiene casi ninguna utilidad ([3]). Debería ser posible ordernar, o más aún importante: filtrar. Quiero usarla para ver solamente MIS estudiantes. Todos ellos, no en grupos de 50 o cualquiera que sea el número fijo en el largo de la tabla en esa página.
  2. Especial:MisCursos necesita un archivo, una opción para autocolapsar entradas de los estudiantes y para seleccionar la cantidad de días que uno desea mostrar en la página principal. De momento esta es una página que mis estudiantes y yo siempre omitimos con un suspiro, no es muy útil. Es especialmente problemática si uno tiene varios cursos; en este momento tengo cuatro y es muy desordenada ya que algunos estudiantes aparecen con más de 2 cursos y usualmente el que deseo no es el que aparece al inicio de la lista, etc. También, la actividad de los estudiantes debería mostrar sus ediciones fuera de la Wikipedia en inglés (les pido a mis estudiantes que editen en la Wikipedia en coreano, por ejemplo).
  3. La lista de los artículos de los estudiantes (por ejemplo [4]) debería mostrar las páginas fuera de la Wikipedia en inglés; mis estudiantes deben editar artículos en la Wikipedia en coreano y en Wikiviajes, pero no podemos crear enlaces a esos sitios.# Me gustaría ordenar los estudiantes en esa página en grupos, probablemente con colores y nombres.
  4. Me gustaría que la tabla en esa página se pudieran ordernar (por artículo, nombre de estudiante, grupo).
  5. Me gustaría que esa página tuviera un lugar para agregar el nombre real de los estudiantes o su número de estudiante.

Es problemático cuando los estudiantes se registran con seudónimos y debo mantener una lista separada de quienes son.# Me gustaría tener algún mecanismo para darle seguimiento al progreso de cada artículo, estudiante o grupo. Por ejemplo, los estudiantes deben presentar un esquema en la página de discusión del artículo o hacer un cambio o solicitar una revisión u otras cosas. Me gustaría poder definir esas cosas con fechas de entrega para cada curso y tener casillas de verificación a la par de la entrada para cada estudiante, grupo o curso.

  1. Esa lista debería tener la opción de abrir una caja desplegable con sus ediciones recientes (como en Especial:MisCursos) y me gustaría que mostrara la cantidad de ediciones de cada estudiante en la semana previa y así sucesivamente. --Piotrus (talk) 04:49, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Revisión importante a los reportes especiales

Por diversas razones muchos de los reportes especiales se ha vuelto inútiles y algunos proyectos se ha visto obligados a crear sus propios reportes personalizados como reportes sobre la base de datos o a través de WMFLabs/Toolserver. Recomiendo un rediseño completo de la forma en que se generan estos reportes que le permita a algún tipo de usuarios en la comunidad (como a los administradores o a los editores de plantillas) modificar el código que genera estas páginas especiales. Alguna funcionalidad que me parece que sería útil incluir sería:

  1. La habilidad de ocultar reportes de la lista si no son relevantes para el proyecto.
  2. Agregar reportes nuevos en algún tipo de sección personalizable.
  3. Poder modificar los criterios usados para generar los reportes.
  4. Tener más flexibilidad para aumentar el largo del reporte, incluso si eso significa dividirlo en secciones de 1000 a 2500 artículos en múltiples páginas.

Por supuesto, esta solo es una lista corta y son necesarios requerimientos y análisis más detallados. Algunas cosas ya han sido sugeridas como cambios menores a los reportes individuales o a otras utilerías, pero lo que realmente es necesario es un rediseño completo de la forma en que Mediawiki crea y administra los peortes Reguyla (talk) 14:48, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the QueryPage special pages run very expensive queries on the database so it is not a good idea to let users on wiki modify them. But we should investigate ways to let the pages more flexible (i.e. options in the form). --Glaisher (talk) 17:16, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks that's good to know. I think I heard that about the queries and maybe as part of the investigation we could see if its possible to make some of them run with less resources. Its also possible some aren't needed at all and could just be eliminated completely or turned off. For example, Pages without language links is pretty irrelevant for Wikipedia now (although some Wiki's may use it) so maybe that could be an example of one we disable and don't run. Does anyone really use Dormant pages or Orphaned pages? My guess is probably not. Reguyla (talk) 17:33, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Limited   Endorsed for consideration per This, that and the other. Given that these are "expensive" queries perhaps a special "Query editor" user-right that only those with demonstrated programming skills will hold. Proposed changes can be made by any editor on a test wiki, reviewed by the community similar to the way the English Wikipedia's bot approvals group approves bots, then given final technical approval by someone with the "query editor" user right and implemented by that same editor. I call this a limited endorsement because we should also seriously consider doing nothing because, as Reguyla pointed out, there is already a way to "get the job done" using external tools.

Agregar funciones a SecurePoll

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T117127
Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T118073

La extensión SecurePoll se usa en las elecciones del comité de arbitraje de las wikipedias en inglés y persa además de las elecciones de la junta directiva de la fundación en Meta. Todas son elecciones de múltiples ganadores (hay varios puestos a llenar) pero todas las opciones que ofrece SecurePoll actualmente son sistemas de ganador único. El voto aprobatorio, el Método Schulze, las votaciones por rangos y el sistema de votación de pluralidad se usan para escoger un único ganador y usarlos para escoger múltiples ganadores es una mala elección. El sistema de apoyo, oposición o neutralidad, usado ampliamente en Wikipedia, no tiene precedente en el mundo real (no es posible encontrar ningún libro académico o artículo de revista especializada que lo analice) así que sus posibles desventajas nos son desconocidas.

Hay otro problema: las elecciones del comité de arbitraje de la Wikipedia en inglés y las elecciones a la junta directiva de la fundación normalmente tienen altos niveles de participación mientras que las elecciones en comunidades más pequeñas, tales como la Wikipedia en persa, sufren de bajos niveles de participación (alrededor de 50 votos). Los bajos niveles de participación requieren un sistema de votaciones robusto para producir un resultado razonable. La comunidad de la Wikipedia en persa está considerando usar sistemas de votación alternativos tales como Meek STV, que no están disponibles en este momento en SecurePoll. También propongo incluir otros métodos disponibles en aplicaciones de votación. También encontré aplicaciones de código libre que se pueden usar para implementar el método de votación proporcional Condorcet. Pueden querer ver su algoritmo. Hay otra aplicación con varios sistemas de votación pero no es libre, se llama: OpenSTV. 4nn1l2 (talk) 23:40, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  8.   Comment In the past there have been proposals to use Single Transferable Vote (proportional system for multi-winner elections) in English Wikipedia ArbCom elections. One of the reasons it has never been seriously considered is the supposition that SecurePoll does not support it. Of course that does not necessarily mean that if it was available, it would be adopted, since it would mean abandoning the 50% threshold for election. Although it is possible, given the upsurge in the number of votes this year, that when people see the results there may be renewed interest in a proportional rather than a majoritarian system.

Herramienta para ver estadísticas de las visitas a las páginas

Wikipedia usa el viejo stats.grok.se que debería ser modificado para poder usarlo correctamente en otras wikis. Se reportaron varios defectos desde hace mucho tiempo pero nadie se ha hecho cargo de ellos.

Por otro lado, recientemente se desarrolló wikiviewstats, que es una herramienta gráfica más completa y flexible. Desafortunadamente, dejó de funcionar y nadie ha podido ponerla a funcionar de nuevo.

Supongo que sería más rápido arreglar los problemas mencionados arriba que crear una herramienta de estadísticas nueva para mantenerse al tanto de los accesos a los artículos (lo que es fundamental para comprender los intereses de los visitantes), sin embargo cualquiera de las dos opciones sería una buena mejora. --Andyrom75 (talk) 22:01, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For those programs, which draw on volunteer editors but also GLAM professionals, academics, non-profits, etc., measuring impact is a very big deal and can make the difference when deciding whether to participate or donate resources. A good way to measure that impact is therefore extremely important not just to the community but to the movement.

Enlaces interlingüísticos preliminares y segundo idioma preferido

Mi idea es permitirle a los usuarios crear enlaces interlingüísticos preliminares en Wikidata al enlazar artículos existentes con artículos que todavía no existen en otros idiomas. ¿Cuáles son los beneficios de este cambio? Ayudará a editores y visitantes al darles la oportunidad de leer o traducir artículos desde otro idioma, especialmente si hablan más de un idioma. Cualquiera puede cambiar sus preferencias y agregar un «segundo idioma» y entonces el sistema conectará automáticamente cualquier enlace rojo con enlaces azules de su segundo idioma.

  • Ejemplos:
    • Si el francés es mi primer idioma y el inglés es mi segundo idioma:

conjonctivite allergique [En anglais]

  • Español:

La conjuntivitis alérgica [en Inglés]

  • Inglés y árabe configurados como mis idiomas adicionales:

Almashad mosque bombing [In Arabic]

  1.   Support To-be-created articles (redlinks) could be in a separate table within the Wikidata schema. The system could periodically (weekly?) scan to see if an entity in the separate table now existed as an article; if so, then there could be a separate process (human or automated) to confirm (or not) that the new article was in fact on the same topic as was expected; once that's determined, the entity would be removed from the to-be-created table.

Combinar cuentas globales unificadas

Según SUL § Tengo dos o más cuentas con nombres diferentes. ¿Es posible combinarlas en una sola cuenta?, la consolidación de cuentas unificadas no se ha implementado todavía y no he encontrado información realmente útil sobre el avance de la implementación de esa función. Tengo 5 cuentas antiguas (las que tienen un carácter ~ en mi página de usuario en ptwiki) y me pregunto cuando será posible combinarlas. Antes de que agregaran las tildes, me sentía hostigado en mi proyecto principal. Al conversar con un administrador poco amigable, él notó la similaridad de los nombres de usuario, me preguntó si estaba usando múltiples cuentas al mismo tiempo y me sugirió que me dirigiera al «Café para novatos» (una página en el portal de nuestra comunidad dedicada a los novatos), eso a pesar de ser uno de los usuarios más antiguos (si no el más antiguo, desde 2004) que todavía está activo en el proyecto. Afortunadamente nunca fui hostigado por mi reducido número de ediciones en ese momento pero tuve que poner un texto explicativo en mi página de usuario sobre el problema.

AFAIK there is already a tool for account merging which has several “bugs”, which means that more often than desired it makes the accounts to be merged totally unusable. They therefore hesitate to continue, and probably even consider to not use it at all. IIRC the reason for this problem is that the database of 15 years is too complex to safely merge accounts. You might want to get in contact with @DerHexer:, who has insight into SUL related issues and is probably willing to give a short update. —MisterSynergy (talk) 16:52, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The tool cannot be used, a re-write is required. But Usien6 can confirm with each of these accounts on their userpages that all accounts are his own. Then I could manually rename them to Usien6 where he can merge them on his own. Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:18, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If, hypothetically, all affected users will be fine with a partial solution that exists today (such as whatever solution Usien6 winds up using, then there is no need to do anything (that's not to say we shouldn't do it at all, only that it should be a very low priority).

  •   Endorsed it is not just a problem for old pre-SUL accounts, newbies sometimes create two accounts by mistake and use both. I would like to provide them a solution before a "feisty" patroller accuses them of sockpuppeting. Also, it is a minor occurrence but some users have created new accounts for a fresh start (nothing bad, just a psychological thing) but at certain point they want "come to terms" to their past. TThere are even users who forgot their password and created a new account, but we all know that they are telling the truth. Sometimes they have to make thousands of edits to become again AP, with a huge waste of time for patroller.

I am not sure if I am understanding User:AS what you mean? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:11, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
See w:Revision control. Branches need to be policed for garbage, and I'm not too sure giving everyone an easy means of making w:WP:STALEDRAFTs is a good idea. MER-C (talk) 13:21, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I mean ability for a user to create a version (something like non-stabilized version in FlaggedRevs, but with few parallel versions, because there could be conflicts in non-stabilized version). For example a non-admin user can suggest a change for Main page, and if the change is ok, an admin just merges the version, without forking a page, copy-pasting etc.
It would be nice to have at least next abilities (which don't need core changes):
ability to fork page. Create a copy of page in personal namespace with one click and some magick to not include the page into categories. Why: for experiments and for users forbidden to edit particular pages.
ability to see diff of different pages. As I understand, there is currently no fast way to see diff of a fork and original page.
ability to partial reverting. During editing, when I see last diff, would be nice if I could just click some "revert" buttons next to particular chunks in diff so it would revert corresponding text in textarea. So I don't need to jump between diff and text to revert some changes on a page. --AS (talk) 14:02, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This would greatly complicate the process of article editing, steepening the learning curve, at a benefit only in very specific cases. It looks like an attempt to solve with technology a problem that should be solved socially. As for copying a page to personal namespace, just copying and pasting the wikicode will do: it's not a hard task that urgently needs simplifying. I share User:MER-C's concern that making it easier to create user drafts will lead to many mor stale drafts. MartinPoulter (talk) 14:30, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
„This would greatly complicate the process of article editing, steepening the learning curve“ — this way of editing would be optional. „It looks like an attempt to solve with technology a problem that should be solved socially“ — imho, for now we are solving with social conventions a problem that could be solved with both technology and conventions (and we should delegate as much problems to technology as possible). „making it easier to create user drafts will lead to many mor stale drafts“ — why stale drafts could be a problem (how many is too many)? --AS (talk) 16:25, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We already have sandboxes for articles that are locked such as this one. How does this differ to that? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:55, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
1) no fast way to compare (to preview diff of) sandbox with original page and with other sandboxes. 2) no ability for other person to merge my changes with saving of authority, so I'll be mentioned as author of the version (smth. similar to stabilizing version in FlaggedRevs). --AS (talk) 11:20, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
One just copies the current article into the sandbox hits save and than uses history to view the dif. One can state who the author is in the edit summary. I do this all the time when I edit in other languages and add content written by other people. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:31, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
„uses history to view the diff“ - with original version, not with current version of original page (if I understand correctly). „One can state who the author is in the edit summary“ — that should be avoided if possible. --AS (talk) 08:57, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that en:Wikipedia:Content forking actually is relevant at all. We already have "draft" namespaces, for instance. This could simply enable a better implementation of en:Wikipedia:Drafts, which is already consensus on enwiki. Further, English Wikipedia is not all of the wikimedia project; you'll notice that some of the requests about this feature come from wikisource or wikibooks. So citing policy on enwiki should not be considered determinative; once implemented each projects can determine whether to enable this on a namespace-by-namespace basis.

  1.   Comment It's easy to say that the system should be able to merge two versions; in fact, this is essentially impossible to program (automate). If two versions disagree, how could a computer program possibly decide what text to keep and what text to discard? Let's keep expectations reasonable: if different versions do become possible, only human beings are going to be doing the merging. John Broughton (talk) 05:33, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Davidwr/talk 06:14, 16 November 2015 (UTC) Clarification: This condition that the history be available to everyone who has the ability to change an edit summary (or better yet, the general public) is for "normal" edit-summary changes. I am not demanding that changes to hide or suppress edit summaries for good reason (similar to what is currently done with revision-deletion and revision-suppression tools) be visible to everyone who has the ability to change an edit summary (far from it - the code should allow for non-current edit summaries should be oversightable (suppressable) and "revision-deletable" even if the page-revision is not oversighted or revision-deleted, with "enabling" this option done on a per-project basis according to that project's consensus).

  •   Endorsed I would support the addition of the right of every user to ADD to their own edit summaries information they forgot to include, and to EDIT their own edit summaries if there have been no subsequent revisions. This is not contradictory. If I edit a page and forget to put in an edit summary, I could go back and do so. If I misspell something and realize it right after posting the edit, I could fix it. However, once someone else edits the underlying page, I could only ADD info to the end of my previous edit summary. This would still allow me to add a forgotten edit summary, but not remove what was already there when someone else made an edit after I did. There may need to be a time limit on either action to prevent abuse, and it should always be apparent to the reader when they are reading an edit summary that was added after the fact.

  41.   Strong oppose - the edit summary is part of the editing history. going back to edit your edit summary shouldn't escape the transparency that's otherwise a fundamental part of editing Wikipedia. We would have to either introduce histories to each edit or display both the old and new edit summary in the page history. The former is obviously a technical and practical non-starter and the latter sounds like it would add unnecessary complication to already dense history pages such that it wouldn't really offer anything that couldn't be accomplished with a dummy edit or talk page message. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:09, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  42.   Oppose - we've all probably sometime realised there's an error in an edit summary just after we've hit the "save page" button and hence I can see why this facility may appear attractive, but the extra complications (particularly when dealing with problem editors - and I'm thinking of en wp here - it might not be so bad on Commons) would be too much. If I see an edit in my watchlist and then look at the article history or at the user's contributions I don't expect the edit summary to have changed in the meantime - that'd be too confusing.

There should also be an option to disable summary edits on articles that have a history of edit warring, frequent vandalism, etc. In regards to a user privilege, I think it would be helpful for certain approved users to edit other editors' summaries, since there are some users who leave misleading summaries. Nocowardsoulismine (talk) 17:15, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  49. Highly Conditional   Support This is very implementation-sensitive feature. I would support almost none of the proposals which come easily to mind, except that I would support something like the following: 1) ability to annotate an existing edit-summary, or an existing edit-summary-annotation, for the user who made the edit, and for admins. 2) ability to strikethru, in full *or* in part, an existing edit-summary-or-annotation, for the user who wrote that edit-summary-or-annotation. 3) ability to revdel an existing summary, which is a feature that already exists, or an existing annotation, which would be a new feature. Under this scheme, nobody would be able to modify the text of an edit-summary. Nobody would be able to hide/revdel an edit-summary, except for people that already can. Examples: if the user made a goof, they could strikethru the offending bit: "fix typo my moronic content opponent made, add three refs" could become "fix typo my moronic content opponent mademodified 2015-12-12 @ 12:34z, add three refs". If the user needed to do more than merely erase a goof, but needed to *add* something, then they could annotate an edit-summary like this: "blank" to have an additional annotated-edit-summary-on-a-new-line, one indented line upwards saying "Added 2015-12-12 @ 23:45z:forgot to leave edit-summary, namely that I fixed another typo, once again made by my new friend". Both types of action should cause a watchlist-alert to be sent to all people watching the page in question, just like a null-edit would cause. Both types of action should appear in Special:Contribs, in some fashion. The GUI-complexity of this specific scheme is pretty low: there is no history-of-the-history needed, beyond the autogenerated superscripted info shown in the examples, and the only additional controls are a button called Strikethru and a button called Annotate (maybe even just *one* single combo-button called AdjustSummary), which appear next to one's own edit-summaries and edit-annotations (or for admins next to all edit-summaries-and-annotations). I'm against letting people rewrite the edit history, in a way that actually *changes* that edit-history. en:WP:REVDEL is a necessary trick to hide information, but does not permit rewriting it. Neither should we implement that ability, to arbitrarily modify the past! See also, en:Mutator_method versus en:Immutable_object, specifically the bit saying "...simpler to understand and reason about...." All actions on-wiki are logged; changes to a page are found in the edit-history of that page. Self-referential changes to that edit-history, should be found right in that very edit-history with no additional pages required. Permitting strikethru (full or partial), and/or annotations (which can in turn be struckthru and/or recursively annotated), and absolutely nothing else, is the way to achieve that. Pretty much any other implementation approach, means I agree with Rhododendrites and DexDor and Alsee: too fucking complicated if we allow arbitrary changes, and too many risks of abuse/confusion/screwups/complexity through loopholes in the equally-complicated mitigating-schemes, to be worth the slight gains. So either build it so that arbitrary changes are not allowed, but simple strikethru and simple annotation-on-new-line are, or do not build it, pretty please with a cherry on top. 75.108.94.227 20:59, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Herramienta para manejar citas a artículos de académicos retirados

Por favor ver este hilo y esta conversación archivada.

Estaba pensando en una herramienta que le permitiera a los usuarios ingresar referencias a artículos retirados de diferentes maneras, tales como los números DOI (Peaceray es un experto en esos números). La herramienta aceptaría múltiples entradas al mismo tiempo, tales como los números de 64 artículos que fueron retirados simultáneamente. La herramienta le daría al usuario una lista de todos los artículos que usan esas referencias como citas y resaltaría los párrafos del artículo en que son usadas. Esto permitiría, eso espero, mejorar mucho la eficiencia del flujo de trabajo para tratar con artículos académicos retirados. Idealmente la herramienta trabajaría en múltiples wikis e idiomas. --Pine✉ 05:23, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Asistente para Wikiproyectos

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T97210

Crear un buen portal para un wikiproyecto es muy tedioso y consume mucho tiempo. Necesita tener conocimientos detallados del código wiki, la sintaxis de las plantillas y como interactuar con la gran cantidad de herramientas y bots usados en los portales de los wikiproyectos. Una versión del asistente para formularios (o de un accesorio personalizado) proporcionaría una interfaz para crear portales para wikiproyectos lo que simplificaría el proceso dramáticamente.

Earlier discussion and endorsements
As part of WikiProject X I wrote a requirements document for a Project Builder. I hope to work on it sometime in the next couple of months. harej (talk) 19:16, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Endorsed On itWiki I have been asking for at least a non-compulsory standard for the style/layout of Wikiproject and Wikiportals pages... but not enough people were interested so far and projects/portals with strong identities have this fear they would be forced to be less indipendent on the long term... I hardly doubt that... 1 or 2% of projects/portals can be creative and do wonderful things, good for them, but we need some "structure" to provide decent maintenance and support to the "vast majority", espcially now that users contributions are flat or decreasing. Many sections of projects are very often the same such as "articles to do", "related project", "most requested article (red links)", "quality evaluation", "articles under deletion", "articles recently created in the area", "portals under this project's supervision" etc... they are more or less the usual building blocks. The same happens for the portals: "quality image(s)", "good article(s)", "new articles", "related portals", "rotation of selected articles"... at the end the code is usually copy-pasted from project/portals to project/portals with no perpspective and a huge confusion. It's a mess: some sections are updated manually, others are automatic, same sections show different names. An impressive amount of time can be lost making order in this mess when necessary. Usually, newbies try to (re)create or reinvigorate projcts/portals more than old users... It's normal, if old users were interested, they would have already done something... newbies are the fuse or the critical mass of this process and they're often left alone. No decent draft, limited success. That's why specific "plug-and-play" tools would be useful. --Alexmar983 (talk) 19:23, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Votos

  1.   Oppose. Insufficient impact -- creation of a WikiProject is a very low frequency task. The desired look and contents of a WikiProject portal may differ between WMF projects, making this somewhat project specific as well. MER-C (talk) 15:43, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2.   Support Interactivity is part of socialization in communal processes, it would be useful to have a more dynamic (and simpler) strategy for organizing people on Wiki for topical collaboration, Sadads (talk) 15:53, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  3.   Support but ONLY IF this is NEVER forced on any WikiProject to use. Also, I'm concerned about the development resources this would sink compared to other proposals, but at the same time, I see this being developed incrementally as it is piloted in various spots.

    I'd like to further note that I would much prefer to see the development of useful modules/templates that can be inserted into existing WikiProjects that don't choose to have their WikiProject pages terraformed by a tool like this.

  4.   Oppose Other things far more important. StevenJ81 (talk) 22:29, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  5.   Oppose, extremely wiki-specific. Each wiki is free to create a generic template for WikiProjects to make this task easy, but there is nothing for Community Tech here — NickK (talk) 15:17, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  6.   Oppose Opposed to automatic creation. Thémistocle (talk) 21:51, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  7.   Oppose I'm not even sure what a "WikiProject Portal" is - on en wp WikiProjects and Portals are different things, and both suffer from too many being (half) created, being edited by users who don't understand the intricate template/subpage/category structures involved and then abandoned leaving a mess for other editors to clean up. A wizard to assist erasing abandoned wikiprojects/portals might be more useful. For info: en wp currently has 126368 pages in Portal namespace. DexDor (talk) 23:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
