Зробити якість/надійність статті більш очевидною для читачів

Зараз, поза статтями-заготовками, та статтями, що містять додані користувачами шаблони про недосконалість, не існує способу зробити рівень якості/надійності статті очевидним для звичайного читача. Це становить проблему, зважаючи на збільшення проникнення спаму та подібні проблеми (див. en:User:Doc_James/Paid_editing). Рішенням могло б стати: 1) увімкнення ґаджета en:Wikipedia:Metadata gadget для усіх читачів за замовчуванням; 2) розробка додаткового скрипту, який би також відображав (можливо, за запитом, із доступом через панель інструментів чи заголовок сторінки) інформацію про кількість користувачів, що спостерігають за сторінкою, тих, що зробили найбільший внесок у сторінку, та, ймовірно, одне з багатьох значень довіри, які обговорюються в декількох академічних виданнях; 3) додавання до статті переліку поширених проблем — див. мою пропозицію нижче. --Piotrus (talk) 05:21, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  13. Comment: (support) -- The user needs a simple (automated) facility to help them understand a significant number of issues (some listed above per Waldir) related to quality. When people ask me if they should trust Wikipedia, I try to remind them of how to assess trust in other areas of their life. This facility should seek to be an intelligent guide to trust; not a certification of correctness.
    This might include tool-tip like cautions of the more significant issues for the article. Such a system should recognize the age and number of editor templates already on the article. When this system is implemented, the current editor templates should be disabled for IP readers but still appear for IP editing and for logged-in users.
    Both the age and distribution distribution of references in the text affects current topics. However, the scoring must recognize that historical topics more than ~50 years old shouldn't discount quality because of non-current references.

Зручний для мобільної версії програмний каркас для порталів та сторінок проектів із багатоколонковим поділом

В багатьох порталів та вікіпроектів головні сторінки розроблені із багатоколонковим розташуванням розділів. Це дозволяє створювати охайний та компактний розподіл пов'язаного та/або непов'язаного вмісту при масштабному, стаціонарному перегляді. Однак, такий дизайн у більшості випадків, на жаль, базується на вікітаблицях як структурних елементах, а тому вони насправді несумісні з малими пристроями. Цей досвід походить із de-wiki, але я думаю, що ситуація є не дуже кращою й у інших вікі (довільні приклади порталів із низькою продуктивністю в мобільній версії: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]; аби протестувати їхню поведінку на мобільних пристроях, відкрийте ці посилання у своєму браузері та масштабуйте ширину вікна до розмірів смартфона).

Існує багато причин, сукупність яких дає такі погані результати. Окрім факту того, що чимало порталів були засновані ще в час, коли не існувало мобільної версії, ми все ще страждаємо від недоступності базового набору простих багатосторонніх технічних рішень, які б дозволили миттєво створювати прийнятні для мобільної версії сторінки порталів/проектів без необхідності застосовувати складну CSS-магію. Тому я б пропонував розробити програмний каркас, який би містив переважно класи CSS, розмістити його на відповідному сайті у просторі назв MediaWiki, завдяки чому він стане доступним для спільного використання. Він повинен містити такі властивості:

  • гнучкий набір класів CSS, відокремлених один від одного для окреслення стилів та позиціювання елементів із вмістом; користувачі можуть додавати класи до елементів порталів, тим самим визначаючи їхні стилі та позицію
  • окремі розділи порталів можуть бути поміщені в шаблони з параметрами, які, я думаю, краще відомі користувачам вікі, аніж простий код HTML
  • після створення сторінки порталу/проекту, розташування елементів плавно й безперешкодно адаптується до розміру екрана, незважаючи на те, чи це стандартна версія, мобільна версія, чи використовується застосунок Вікімедіа
  • детальна документація, включно з прикладами використання, має доповнити цей базовий набір функцій; середньостатистичний користувач вікі повинен мати змогу з легкістю створити сторінку порталу, яка однаково добре відображається як у стаціонарній, так і в мобільній версії
  • бонусне завдання: дозвольте використання сучасних CSS-методів у просторі порталів, скажімо, запити медіафайлів чи будь-які інші корисні речі; технічно досвідчені користувачі, за допомогою цієї функції, зможуть вдосконалити процес користування мобільною та стаціонарною версіями

I'm not convinced this is somewhat useful at all... I never use portals and mobile phones, and on Portuguese Wikipedia the portals are all abandoned. Why create such mechanism, if there is noone interested in implementing it on the pages?--MisterSanderson (talk) 04:08, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Portals and Wikiprojects are dead at de:WP too. At least there is no mass interest in them. The problem with portals is, that we have so many articles and therefore it is not possible to link many of them on one page. I remember that I once thought about something like an online museum in wikipedia. In wikipedia text is number one and pictures are the last number. If we would change that and pictures are number one, maybe something new would happen? We could ask GLAM people, what they think about that. In this way portals could get a new task, not just linking loads of wp.articles. Molarus (talk) 20:19, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  3. Not supportive, mostly because portals should more likely be deprecated as out-of-date and generally of poor quality. We are not hearing from many projects that use them, and they have been useless to readers for many years on (at least) several of the large Wikipedias. A bit of history: on Enwiki, portal creation became popular for a period because it was easy to develop a 'featured portal', and evidence of having contributed "featured content" was a relatively quick way to becoming an administrator. Those portals were then promptly ignored by their creators, and most have not been revised in years. While the motivation may have been different on other projects, it seems they are essentially historical artifacts today. Risker (talk) 23:02, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  4.   Comment I agree with Risker that portals should probably be decommissioned as they are hulks nobody has the time to work on, and I don't think they get much reader attention anyway. The true portals are the main subject articles themselves, because those are what people find when they search. WikiProjects, however, are the "portals" through which some editors go to find out how to help with particular subjects. I wouldn't oppose efforts to make them mobile-friendly, but I think the way to go is to provide a way of having alternative display code for mobile devices, rather than changing the designs of existing WikiProject pages. At any rate, many WikiProjects are short-staffed and will consider mobile access a low priority in my estimation. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 12:32, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree with deprecating portals. They are a great way to show interesting things to readers. I have developed several sports portals in Spanish Wikipedia, with heavy use of random sections. Hey, nitable competitors appear on their birthdays!
    The problem with portals, other than lack of editors, is that we need to writhe the summaries of articlesvand update them manually. A nice tool would be insetion of page sections, therefore we could just insert the zero section. --NaBUru38 (talk) 04:05, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I would support some portal-like features built into main subject articles. The current separated portals are hulks that very few visit (I've looked at pageview stats) and almost nobody has the time to maintain. If we have to keep portals around, they need to be "advertised" better from main subject articles. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 17:29, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  7.   Oppose - Do many readers/editors using mobile phones want this? I've just looked at some of the above examples using a small laptop (large tablet) size screen and had no problems; the material may not have been laid out quite as neatly as on a larger screen, but you can't have everything. If this went ahead then either (1) existing projects/portals would need to be converted to the new system or (2) we would have a mix of projects/portals using the old and new systems - both would increase complexity for editors. Many projects have some tabbed pages that are pointless (or worse). DexDor (talk) 20:02, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  8.   Support A nice first step would be optional linebreaks. If a row has two columns with an optional linebreak, the two boxes would appers side by side if the screen is wide, and top to bootom if the screen is narrow. --NaBUru38 (talk)

Task T120756

Іноді читачі (але зазвичай не редактори) натрапляють на цікаву статтю, яку б хотіли прочитати дещо пізніше, можливо тому, що вони саме в цей момент не мають достатньо часу. Було б чудово, якби вони могли додати її до свого Читацького списку, аби не забути про неї!

This could be considered a variant on the previous proposal for additional watchlist functionality. A properly generalized watchlist could also be used as a personal reading list. Cscott (talk) 18:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Endorsed but would also like to add specific revisions or diffs to the reading list so I can come back to them later.

Davidwr/talk 05:37, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment In fact this is something (or exactly) like mw:Extension:Gather (which I find nice and useful). With this, anybody can create reading lists (aka "Collections"), private of public: en:Special:Gather/by/Geraki. They can even be used as multiple watchlists (en:Special:GatherEditFeed). The bad thing is that is still in beta, and currently you can add pages only through the beta mobile interface (but you can still check them in the desktop interface). So, I endorse to continue developing this extension and enable it to the main interface for all wikipedias. -Geraki TL 12:40, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Endorsed While my PC's browser is quite capable of bookmarking pages, this does me absolutely no good when I head on over to my local library with the intent of doing a bit of fact-checking or citation gathering. When I first came to this page it was my intent to make a suggestion similar to this, so I'll endorse this one instead! I think that ideas related to a reading list, expanded functionality of a watchlist, and a to-do list can be combined to make an especially useful tool. Etamni (talk) 07:58, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Endorsed I was about to propose a private To-Do list for other uses, but it's much of the same thing. There are some sites offering ToDo lists, but it would make life much easier if each editor could open his own private discreet list inside Wikipedia - mostly since it would be easier to add links to files (in the Commons/home wiki) or pages in his home project. I currently use a site called EveryDay for this purpose, but besides some restrictions for not-paying users, the main problem is as I mentioned, linking to pages and files inside Wikimedia projects. I need these kind of lists for 3 purposes: 1. Files I have to watch - I often leave notes in uploaders' talk pages with requests for OTRS release approvals for the files, then I wait a week or two and if we don't get any response, I have to open a deletion request in the Commons. Since there are too many of those, I need a list, preferable with an option for some kind of a reminder at a certain time; 2. Info to add - For example, if I read an article and find it useful for Wikipedia as reference or just something to add as an external link, when I don't have the time to do it then, or when I cannot do it at that time from other reasons... I want to be able to get back to it later; 3. Other wiki-tasks - all sort of improvements and additions I find that I would like to work on some time sooner or later, when I would have time for it - I need a place to write it down.

Підсторінки: приховати посилання на батьківські сторінки

Вікіпідручник використовує підсторінки в певному порядку для того, щоб структурувати книгу за розділами. Віківерситет робить те ж саме для курсів та уроків. Кожна підсторінка автоматично показує посилання на батьківські сторінки. Та незважаючи на це, автори пропонують читачам навігацію між розділами та сторінками за допомогою навігаційних шаблонів. У таких випадках читач бачить посилання на батьківську сторінку наряду з навігаційною панеллю — напр., b:en:Geometry for Elementary School/Introduction. Як на мене, було б краще приховати автоматично створювані посилання, якщо на сторінці вже є навігаційна панель. Подвійна інформація може збивати користувачів з пантелику.

Користувачі: Вікіпідручника, Віківерситету та інших проектів, у яких використовуються підсторінки. Поточна ситуація: Посилання на батьківські сторінки неможливо приховати. Рішення: Додати перемикач поведінки __NOANCESTORLINK__ чи щось подібне. -- Juetho (talk) 10:45, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Helder As far as I see the BookManager uses a special way via its own metadata and is made to combine separate sites (in WP e.g.). A book in Wikibooks or a course in Wikiversity uses a manual structure with a main page and subpages. Each author has her own idea how her book is structured and shown (incl. navigation bar and list of contents). Therefore it's a manual decision for each subpage. -- Juetho (talk) 12:49, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The whole point of the extension is not to structure books manually, so that navigation, and other things can be done automatically. Helder 17:38, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Nemo Please, take a look at b:en:Geometry for Elementary School/Introduction (link above -- that's an example only). Wikibooks and Wikiversity use both -- subpages by default in the main namespace (an important kind of structure in any book resp. course) in addition with a navigation bar (an important kind to navigate within a book resp. course). In these cases the links to ancestor pages are partly superfluous and disturbing. In Wikibooks and Wikiversity not a single user wants to give up these structuring methods, but many users don't want the additional links. -- Juetho (talk) 16:47, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You can hide them using local CSS (something like span.subpages { display: none; } ). Helder 17:38, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
