Community Tech Launches Wikisource Improvement Initiative Edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello,

We hope you are all healthy and safe in these difficult times.

The Community Tech team has just launched a new initiative to improve Wikisource. We have created the first project (Improve ebook exports), which came out of the 2020 Community Wishlist Survey. We now invite you to share your feedback on the project talk page. Please let us know what you think of our project analysis; we want to hear from you! Furthermore, we hope that you will participate in the other Wikisource improvement projects, which we’ll address in the future. Thank you in advance and we look forward to reading your feedback on the project talk page!

Over-qualified CSS selectors Edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

My apologies that this message is just available in English.

Over-qualified CSS selectors of portals in Wikimedia skins have been changed. div#p-personal, div#p-navigation, div#p-interaction, div#p-tb, div#p-lang, div#p-namespaces or div#p-variants are now all removed of the div qualifier, as in for example it is #p-personal, #p-navigation …. This is so the skins can use HTML5 elements. Your gadgets or user styles seem to use them and you will have to update them. You can read more in phab:T252467.

Wikisource Pagelist Widget - First Iteration Feedback Edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce that Wikisource Pagelist Widget is now available on Beta Wikisource. We need your help in testing the widget and providing feedback.

You can test the widget by editing the following Index page on Beta Wikisource:

https://en.wikisource.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Index:War_and_Peace.djvu

There is a new ‘Preview pagelist’ button under the pagelist field. Click it to get a preview, and then click on any page number in the preview to open the widget.

You can also create a fresh Index Page for any other PDF or DjVu from Wikimedia Commons and test it.

We need your feedback on the following questions:

What is your general opinion about the Pagelist Widget?
Is it obvious how to use the widget? If not, what is difficult to understand?
What other changes would you like to suggest in order to improve the widget further?

Please provide your feedback on the Project Talk Page on Meta-Wiki.

P.S. - The widget doesn’t work on Local Uploads in Beta Wikisource as of now (due to phab:T257807).

Regards

SGill (WMF) (talk)

Community Wishlist Survey 2021: Invitation Edit

The 2021 Community Wishlist Survey is now open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community Tech team should work on over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the deadline on 30 November, or comment on other proposals to help make them better. The communities will vote on the proposals between 8 December and 21 December.

The Community Tech team is focused on tools for experienced Wikimedia editors. You can write proposals in any language, and we will translate them for you. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your proposals!

Community Wishlist Survey 2021 Edit

We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.

In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.

We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.

We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!

Unblock: Grant me exemption from RiseUp VPN block Edit

{{unblock|I use RiseUp VPN for privacy reasons because of mass surveillance laws currently present in Sweden. I wish an exemption for the RiseUp VPN IP-range}}--[[User:So9q|So9q]] ([[User talk:So9q#top|talk]]) 07:07, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

I see no evidence that you are locally blocked, so local administrators are unable to assist. Please review global blocks/FAQ and SRGP — billinghurst sDrewth 02:30, 29 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Really? It works fine for all wikis except English Wikipedia where the global ip exempt does not seem to be honored. Wikidata works, Danish and Swedish Wikipedia works, Wiktionaries work. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global_permissions/2020-02#Global_IP_block_exempt_for_So9q. Must be a bug on enWP I guess, where can I report it?
