Best wishes for the holidays and 2020.

Community Tech Launches Wikisource Improvement Initiative (:s:ja/VP) edit

Hi, just to update you that your invitation for comments at Wikisource/ja/Village Pump was put into Japanese language. Ping me anytime you would need en-ja ja-en translation. It would be nice if you tweak the project page for translation, as a kind regard toward inclusiveness and multi-lingual enrollment. Cheers, —Omotecho (talk) 23:14, 1 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Omotecho: Hello, and thank you for the message! We have now marked the project page for translation. Also, thank you for sharing the link to the Japanese Village Pump announcement; it was very exciting to see the translation. --IFried (WMF) (talk) 20:41, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
@IFried (WMF):, thank you for the update: one lazy request, and would you mind to separate section title from the body text? That way, any busy translator be tempted to at least put TOC into local langage, which will encourage others in that local tongue to either jump in/manage to read en text. (Practically, we can steal a few minutes and put section titles into local language even if your kettle is boiling and whisling hard ;)) --Omotecho (talk) 23:01, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Watchlist expiration edit

Hello, can I know the exact mediawiki gadget coding should be for the gadget. I don't think copy-pasting the code is enough? Or am I wrong? Thanks for your help. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 17:25, 21 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Camouflaged Mirage: Apologies for the late reply! Yes, copying & pasting the code should be enough. I have tested and was able to successfully restore the old pop-up. Here's how: Go to your common.css page (such as this link here). Then copy and paste the following code:
.mw-WatchlistExpiryWidgetwatchlist-dropdown-label,
.mw-watchexpiry.oo-ui-dropdownInputWidget,
#mw-editpage-watchlist-expiry {
    display: none;
}

Once you save the changes, you'll see that there is no longer the option to choose a temporary watch period on the wiki. The old behavior is restored. Let us know if it works for you or if you need further assistance. Thanks! --IFried (WMF) (talk) 18:27, 28 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. It works. :) Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 16:18, 29 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Harassment by Camouflaged Mirage edit

I initiated a discussion with Dreamy Jazz and Camouflaged Mirage began harassing me. What is the procedure for dealing with this? 92.24.105.36 13:50, 3 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

OCR and related tricks edit

I posted some very brief replies to questions at Talk:Community Tech/OCR Improvements, but largely insufficient to understand what I mean. :-) Do you know best it.wikisource tricks to fasten OCR fixing (postOCR) and nsPage editing? If you'd like to take a look, I'll be happy to help you. The two key gadgets are memoRegex (that saves and shares an index page specific substitutions) and eis (Edit in Sequence), that allows AJAX loading, editing, previewing a saving of nsPage wikitext. The third gadget opens a list of customable buttons fixed at bottom of the page. --Alex brollo (talk) 11:43, 24 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Wikimania session about OCR edit

Hi Ilana, I'm organising a Round Table about OCR (and other tools for Wikisource) at Wikimania. The idea is to present the situation as it is, and the new improvements of the tool(s), and have some discussion. I already contacted Samwilson, who is on board. Would you like to present something and participate to the discussion? I would ask you to brief me on what introduction to say, and then you'll be free to present what's going on in the Community Tech team.

There are other sessions proposed about Wikisource, but we wanted (we, the members of the user group) to have a more open session. Lemme know! Cheers --Ruthven (msg) 21:05, 14 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Ruthven: Hello, and thank you so much for thinking of me! I'm no longer on the Community Tech team, so I wouldn't be the person to co-present. However, the new Community Tech product manager, Natalia Rodriguez, may be interested; I recommend you reach out to her! Thanks again and I hope to bump into you, virtually at least, at Wikimania! --IFried (WMF) (talk) 22:31, 15 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

CampaignEvent Beta Tester edit

Hi @IFried (WMF)!

I trust you are doing well. I would like to request for Campaign Event beta rights for utilization in our Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom Abuja program. After participation in the Demo sessions, I think it will be helpful coordination and management of our teachers active participation in the program activities. It will also afford us the opportunity to put it to use with real project other than demo. Thanks for your time and consideration. Regards. Atibrarian (talk) 04:52, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
