File:Autógrafo de livvro.jpg[edit]

Could you check with author of File:Autógrafo de livvro.jpg about this file. It seems to me he is trying to rename a file by filing a DR. He seems to need help but writes only in PT. --Jarekt (talk) 17:05, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jarekt, I believe it is as you say, and already renamed the file and left a message on his discussion. Thank you for the warning. -- Darwin Ahoy! 19:14, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

phab:T119901[edit]

Hello. Could you clarify the request? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:37, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Zhuyifei1999, I wanted to propose the inclusion of that website into the whitelist, in order that images could be directly copied from there while using the basic upload interface. I believe that's a new thing that was implemented here, as I can't remember it from the last time I uploaded files. Is it clearer now?-- Darwin Ahoy! 09:57, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pinus pinea in Spain[edit]

You are removing category:Pinus pinea (cultivated) from individual pines and adding to the whole category Pinus pinea in Spain. That's wrong, since Pinus pinea is native of some parts of Spain and therefore not all Pinus pinea there are cultivated. Furhtermore, you are adding redundantly the Spain category. Please revert.--Pere prlpz (talk) 00:12, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And the same goes for France and Italy, at least.--Pere prlpz (talk) 00:15, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And also for Portugal, certainly. But all those categories were already inside "cultivated". I created the category "Pinus pinea in Spain" and placed it there in "cultivated", where the others already were, and all the files I added there were previously inside the category "Pinus pinea (cultivated)", so it's impossible that I've moved something that wasn't already wrongly classified. At best, it needs to be improved by further creating the category "pinus pinea (cultivated) in Spain". If you know which are cultivated and which are native, and you feel the need for that category, please go ahead and do it.-- Darwin Ahoy! 00:19, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
According to Commons:Categories#For_more_appropriate_categorization: "Pages (including category pages) are categorized according to their subject, and not to their contents, because the contents are generally not a permanent feature of the category page." The fact that now there weren't any cultivated image of Pinus pinea in a country's category is just about content, not about category subject, which also includes all wild Pinus pinea in the same country. Therefore, your changes are wrong, although creating categories like "Pinus pinea in Portugal (cultivated)" may be right and useful.--Pere prlpz (talk) 00:28, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Look, I only moved files that were already inside "pinus pinea (cultivated)", so I really don't know what you are speaking about, bring in the subject of the wild specimens. -- Darwin Ahoy! 00:30, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

D. Manuel I no Castelo de São Jorge[edit]

Em relação a isto:

2015-12-05T01:39:45 DarwIn (talk | contribs) deleted page Category:Statue of Manuel I of Portugal in Castelo de São Jorge (Category:Statue of Manuel I of Portugal in Castelo de São Jorge moved to Category:D. Manuel I by Maximiano Alves (1933))

Não entendo por que foi criada uma nova categoria e apagada a antiga, em vez de ter sido simplesmente renomeada. (N.b.: Não discordo da renomeação em si; o novo nome é melhor.) -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 02:12, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Olá Tuválkin, eu pareceu-me que o nome antigo não ia ter uso, por isso apaguei, mas se achas que pode ser útil não me custa nada restaurar. :) -- Darwin Ahoy! 02:15, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Não me referia a manter a categoria com o nome antigo e conteúdo substituído por um redirecionamento, mas a “mover” (renomear) a categoria existente, preservando o histórico, em vez de criar uma nova. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 02:35, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh! É que aqui o campónio esteve eras afastado disto, e não fazia ideia dos avanços da ciência. Fantástico, já tratei do assunto e repus o histórico nessas categorias, agora penso que já está direito. Vou dar uma vista de olhos nas últimas categorias que apaguei na mesma situação, que parece-me que são muito poucas, para ver se há alguma que valha a pena preservar o histórico. Muito obrigado por me mostrares isso.-- Darwin Ahoy! 02:48, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Mesmo assim ainda me atrapalhei aí.. Mas também tomara, já tenho os olhos em bico de catar tanta fotografia de turista do Castelo de São Jorge. E olha que nestas centenas ou milhares ainda não achei uma que fosse da Porta da Traição, da Porta do Martim Moniz e do Palácio do Governador, que deveriam ser três ex-libris do Castelo... Estes tipos fotografam sempre a mesma coisa. :|-- Darwin Ahoy! 02:53, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
É verdade. Tipo esta coisa pirosa… -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 02:57, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Só isso para me matar a rir a esta hora da noite.. Mas pronto, faz sentido, eles desembarcam do autocarro esfomeados por antiguidades, o santinho é a primeira relíquia que vêem, e toca de registar... É suposto o turismo hoje em dia ser mais educado e exigente, e não ir desprevenido para os sítios, mas eu quando estive aí no castelo a primeira vez, quando era pequenito, há muitas luas atrás, uma das coisa que queria ver era a porta onde o gordo entalou. Pelos vistos já ninguém liga a isso. :| -- Darwin Ahoy! 03:06, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Já restaurei essa e a outra do Afonso Henriques. Os nomes das obras de arte eu tento uniformizar dessa maneira, usando catálogos. No caso destes usei o da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, que está online.-- Darwin Ahoy! 02:17, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
É um bom critério. Além do mais, e excepto para peças realmente grandes, identificar uma estátua/escultura pela sua localização arrisca-se a ser ambíguo ou imperene, se essa localização for alterada — caso de inúmeros monumentos “apeados” or recolocados: Só em Lisboa há uns tantos! (Hmmm, Category:Relocated monuments and memorials merece uma ensaboadela.) -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 02:35, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming AML photos[edit]

Olá! Vejo que estás a dar uma volta nas fotos que carregaste do Arquivo Municipal de Lisboa. Boa idea no geral, mesmo se com algumas pontas soltas (deixar um "{" pendurado no início de cada descrição não bom, p.ex.). Mas acrescentar a ref.ª AML (de tipo ABC1234) ao nome do ficheiro vai contra COM:FR; pôr isso no nome do ficheiro ao carrgegar uma foto nova, ainda vá, mas criar novos filenames assim para fotos já carregadas é até explicitamente desaconselhado nessa diretriz.

E, além disso, essa é a referência de um arquivo, não do criador ou da editora original — podemos ter uma imagem destas substitída por um scan de um original que nunca esteve no A.M.L. Esta referência, que de resto se encontra na descrição da imagem, mesmo quando não está no filename, nem sequer é muito útil para identificar cada foto, já que é coisa recente (nota as várias «cotas antigas» dadas para cada ítem) e ninguém garante que amanhã não mude outra vez — já hoje, os vários urls de cada foto incluem outros códigos como DocumentoID.

-- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 06:30, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Olá Tuvalkin, esse "{" no início da descrição deve ter ido por engano, onde é que eu coloquei isso?
A referência no início do ficheiro não só não é aleatória - É o nome da colecção (e, portanto, regra geral é o nome do criador como JBN e BAR, que são Joshua Benoliel e Barcia, não tem a ver com o arquivo) seguido de um número de sequência da própria colecção - como é muito útil para evitar nomes idiotas ou despropositados, ou do tipo (1), (2), etc, quando há uma série de fotos sobre o mesmo tema. Além disso, quando se olha para uma foto com uma ref daquele género no início, fica óbvio que se trata duma foto originária do AML, o que também é bastante útil, e organiza as fotos dentro de cada pasta numa sequência lógica. Isto não só não vai contra COM:FR, por estar de acordo com o ponto "To harmonize the file names of a set of images", como, ao menos para mim, é tão prático e útil que devia ser obrigatório ao se tratar de fotos provenientes de arquivos como é este caso. Além disso, os nomes originais (que, de resto, são dados pelo AML e, esses sim, variam sem grande lógica, como eu já notei ao comparar as descrições actuais com as de 2011) são em geral preservados, excepto nos casos em que são exageradamente compridos, aí eu trunco-os. Isso não sei se é norma ou não, mas se não é devia ser, pois nomes muito compridos em ficheiros são sempre a origem de uma série de problemas, além de ficarem feios e serem chatos de colocar nos artigos, ocupando eles próprios um número desmesurado e desnecessário de caracteres.
Quanto às cotas antigas e actuais, isso não tem qualquer importância, basta usar um só sistema e ficar por ele. Eu nem estou a usar o sistema actual, mas um anterior que é mais prático para este caso. Se o AML depois o alterar novamente é irrelevante para o caso.
Finalmente, a substituição destas imagens por scans que não são do AML nunca acontecerá, ou a acontecer, deve ser sempre revertida. Isto são os positivos do AML; se outra pessoa chegar com outro positivo, mesmo que de melhor qualidade, ou que não esteja estragado como vários destes estão, deve ser sempre carregado num ficheiro à parte.
Abraço, -- Darwin Ahoy! 07:29, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
E ainda há mais uma coisa - O uso deste sistema permite que facilmente se perceba se uma imagem do AML já existe ou não aqui, o que é da maior utilidade, e é muitíssimo mais difícil de fazer e perceber quando não se usa um sistema deste género. Na realidade, não vejo qualquer desvantagem no uso dum sistema deste género, muito pelo contrário. Por outro lado, já vi esse COM:FR ser levado demasiado à letra em casos francamente estúpidos em que o carregador inicial (regra geral uma certa pessoa) carrega coisas como "Lisboa 697yoyhkhlhlg". E quando se muda para "Lisboa - Basílica da Estrela 2011", por exemplo, cai o Carmo e a Trindade porque é "Lisboa" que está na imagem... Mas pronto, nesses casos já nem ligo porque não tem grande importância. agora aqui a renomeação para um título uniforme dentro da mesma colecção dá de facto muito jeito.-- Darwin Ahoy! 07:57, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Não respondi a isto por concordar em absoluto, mas por prever que discutir mais nesta direção iria trazer(-me) mais chatices do que estou disposto a aturar. Claro que concordo com muito do que escreveste acima, mas o aspeto fundamental é que o princípio básico de COM:FR não está a ser nem bem entendido nem honrado — por ti e por muitos outros administradores (já para não falar de renomeadores e utilizadores de base). Mas recuso-me a ser o único a bater-me por uma causa (aparentemente) perdida. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 21:40, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Mas podes explicar melhor isso? É que realmente não vejo nada maléfico em renomear as fotos das colecções do AML (e uma boa parte delas até fui eu que carreguei, e na altura já deviam ter ido assim) com um identificador único, que ainda por cima faz sentido - isto é, ajuda a perceber o que é a foto, ao dizer de que colecção é - e ajuda na organização dentro das categorias. Eu não procuro discussões chatas e improdutivas, mas gostava de entender o que é que está mal neste raciocínio. Até porque posso muito bem estar enganado, não é? -- Darwin Ahoy! 21:47, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Casa quinhentista[edit]

Olá! Estas duas fotos mostram a mesma casa que estes duas aquarelas do Roque Gameiro:

Pois é verdade, e pelos vistos a casa ainda existe! A informação da AML está incorrecta pelos vistos, muito obrigado pela correcção. -- Darwin Ahoy! 06:07, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Altarpieces" vs. "Altar pieces"[edit]

I agree that the former is preferable, but then rather than just change the parent category on, say Category:Altar pieces in the United States I would think you would move it, as well. - Jmabel ! talk

Hi Jmabel, there are zillions of child categories named "Altar pieces", I can't rename them all, at least in a short time. And most of the items inside do not refer to "Altarpieces", but to reredos. It was - and still is - a huge mess here between altarpieces, reredos and "retablos", all meaning precise different things, but being used interchangeably without any logic, the mess extending to (or emanating from) a number of different wikipedias. I consulted with a national expert on ecclesiastic history, and she said the authority for the ecclesiastic definitions was the Thesaurus, a very expensive book of which, thankfully, there is a version online at http://151.13.7.25/thesaurus/home/index.jsp which clarifies a lot of things. Anyway, worst than it was, its impossible to get, and now at least the top categories are correctly named and placed. The others will be corrected as time permits, by me or anyone else... All the best, -- Darwin Ahoy! 20:42, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For an uncontroversial renaming of a category, User:CommonsDelinker/commands (or, if you are not an admin, User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands) is pretty quick; you'd mostly just need to make the list of categories to be renamed. Reredos and retablo are more specific than altarpiece, and I agree that it would be nice to subcat them where possible, but there is nothing wrong with calling them altarpieces. - Jmabel ! talk 00:08, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, no, reredos is not a specific type of altarpieces. At best, the opposite could be true. Reredos means the frame or architectural structure behind the altar, generally providing a context for the altarpieces. In sensu lato it means everything behind the altar, which could be a single altarpiece or statue or an extremely elaborated and complex architectonic structure. Check the definition here. Retablos is the Spanish word for reredos, meaning precisely retro tablum, whatever is behind the table, the altar. That word is used across the countries which languages derived mostly from Latin. In English, however, and specifically in Wiki-en, it is not used with the Spanish definition, but with a different one only used in Latin America for a specific type of folk art which derived from the true reredos, but are not reredos anymore. What seems to have went wrong here is that at eons ago someone assumed that retable ou reredos is the same as altarpiece, which is wrong and nonsense, but unfortunately was replicated ad eternum through the child categories. Recently, apparently, more knowledgeable people began using and creating the Reredos category, creating a third level of confusion, adding to the "altar pieces" and retablos. It was that mess that I attempted to resolve using the proper definitions from an authoritative source, which were actually, in general, what already was in the wiki-en definitions. The problem now is the Spanish and French regions and divisions, which have hundreds of categories named "altar piece", while the contents of them are actually reredos, not altarpieces at all. That's a huge mess to resolve, but that thing can be done by a bot, and I don't plan to lose more time doing it manually. I've already gone through all the non-obvious cases, what remains can be easily automatized.-- Darwin Ahoy! 10:43, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed he was! I don't know how I saw a 9 instead of a 6... Must replace my lenses.
Anyway, the painting looks rather new, and is all over the web, so I believe it was correctly deleted. However, if you have some evidence that it can be here on Commons, I can restore it. Cheers, -- Darwin Ahoy! 19:28, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Imagens Wiki[edit]

Darwin, muito, mas muito obrigado mesmo, estava desistindo de editar, haja vista que os administradores envolvidos, simplesmente deletaram tudo, sem ouvir meus argumentos. Muitas outras imagens deletadas (desta lista https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_Meloaraujo ) tiveram também as autorizações enviadas, em alguns casos reenviadas, com confirmação de administradores do Commons. Aparentemente fui acusado de criar e-mail´s falsos para justificar os carregamentos, mas a logica mais simples, seria colocar as imagens como sendo minhas. Muitas imagens como foram deletadas de maneira sumaria, não consegui rastrear os autores, haja vista que participo de muitas listas de discussão sobre ferrovias na internet e essas imagens foram cadastradas tem muitos anos, algumas de 2009. Posso te listas as imagens com autorizações reenviadas. Meloaraujo (talk) 00:34, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Darwin, quando fui informado, me passaram que o processo ocorreria em cerca de 30 dias, em uma semana deletaram todas, mesmo com o cadastramento de que estariam sendo tratadas...

Da lista acima todas tiveram e-mail enviado pelos autores das imagens, para o ORTS com copia para mim. Vou te passar mais tarde outras, imagens com autorizações enviadas, para que possa buscar e restaurar. Algumas vou pedir o restauro para rastrear os autores e solicitar envio ou reenvio das autorizações.

  • The edit tabs for the wikitext editor and the visual editor will be combined to one single edit tab. You will be able to choose which one you prefer. If you are not logged in, your choice will be saved as a cookie in your browser. You can test the single edit tab. [10][11]
  • There is a beta feature that adds links to the subject on other Wikimedia projects. This works much like the links to for example Wikipedia articles in other languages. It will go out of beta testing and be enabled for everyone in January. Wikis that don't want this can decide to have it disabled. [12][13]
  • The difference between "alerts" and "messages" notifications is unclear to some. The developers want feedback at the Phabricator task or on MediaWiki.org so they can make this better. You can give feedback in your language if you can't write in English.

Tech News: 2016-03[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • You will be able to find or mark bugs and suggestions in Phabricator that are specific for your language or wiki. [14]
  • Notifications have been upgraded with more detailed and easier-to-access information. See the documentation. Cross-wiki notifications will be available soon on the two test wikis. [15]

Changes this week

  • The visual editor uses the TemplateData extension to make editing templates easier. You will now get a warning when you edit a TemplateData form and leave it without saving. [16]
  • MediaWiki will get a new authentication and authorization system called AuthManager. This is planned to happen in a month or two. Some bots will need to change how they log in. Two new and more stable authentication methods will be available now: Owner-only OAuth credentials and bot passwords. You can read more about the change. [17]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 January. It will be on all Wikipedias from 21 January (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 19 January at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.
  • You can join the next meeting with the Architecture committee. The topic this week is governance model. The meeting will be on 20 January at 22:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2016-04[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • You can now follow when pages are added or removed from a category on German Wikipedia. The plan is to add it to Wikimedia Commons and other Wikipedias this week. [18][19]
  • Administrators can hide individual entries of a page with RevisionDelete. There is now a button to choose "all", "none" or "inverse" in Special:Log. The article history will get the same buttons soon. Wikis that have done this locally with JavaScript will be able to remove that code. [20]

Changes this week

  • You will be able to see the references when you preview a section you are editing. This will happen even if there is no <references /> tag in that section. [21]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 January. It will be on all wikis from 28 January (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 26 January at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • There is now an extension called ArticlePlaceholder. It can automatically generate content on Wikipedia with data from Wikidata if there is no Wikipedia article. It will have a tag to remind the reader it is not an article and ask the reader to create one. The developer is now looking for smaller Wikipedias that want to try the extension. [22]
  • The OTRS system will be upgraded. The plan is to do this on 3 February at 08:00 (UTC). It will probably take 6 to 8 hours. OTRS will be down during the upgrade. [23]
  • Users will soon be automatically congratulated when they reach some edit count milestones. [24]

Tech News: 2016-05[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

  • Sites with a wikimedia.org address were by mistake redirected to the Wikimedia Foundation wiki on 26 January. This included Meta and Wikimedia Commons. The mistake was fixed after an hour. [25]
  • Some users had problems logging in and out around 22 January. Bots also had problems and edit previews did not work properly. This was because of problems related to the new component SessionManager. It was undone on 23 January. [26][27]
  • Because of new problems with SessionManager the latest version of MediaWiki was removed from the Wikimedia wikis again on 31 January. The new version this week will be without SessionManager. [28]

Changes this week

  • The page history will get a help link. This will go to Help:Page history on Meta. Wikis can exchange it for a link to their local pages. [29]
  • Notifications will only show part of a page name if it is very long. You will also have another way to mark notifications as read. [30][31]
  • The Universal Language Selector input methods are now available with the visual editor. This means many who write in non-Latin scripts can now use the visual editor. [32]
  • The visual editor will now give you more tools to edit tables. You can move rows and columns in a table and copy parts of tables to make new ones. You can also copy and paste more than one cell at the same time. [33][34][35]
  • The visual editor has a new warning message when you leave a page you are editing without saving. Non-English wikis might need to translate it. [36][37]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 February. It will be on all wikis from 4 February (calendar).

Meetings

Future changes

  • The rest.wikimedia.org domain will be shut down. This is planned to happen in March. You should use /api/rest_v1/ at each individual project domain instead. [38]

TicketNumber=2016022110006635[edit]

Good evening Mr. DarwIn

My name is Sean Hurwitz. Recently, a user created an article about me and contacted me in order to supply her with a picture. I supplied her (AmyPFiztgerald) with this picture of me which was taken by Candace Horgan (as you can see in the details). Candace gave me her permission to use it in any way I want over the net. I have that in an email which I believe you saw.

My question is, what can I do to make sure the pic gets used correctly? I've even asked candace herself to upload it, which she said she'd be happy to do. So, we created an account for her...but since it isn't verified, she can't upload anything yet. haha

We have taken the picture down for now out of respect for OTRS rules and regulations.

Help? I just want to know how to do this correctly. Amy went through a lot to get it all done, and she really wants a photo up there, as do I :-)

Please advise Your help is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Sean Hurwitz

Hello Sean, I apologize for taking so long to answer your request. I see Jenmedia below is also dealing with the same situation. You just have to send the permission you have from Candace Horgan to OTRS in order for the upload to be accepted here.
As for your question - "what can I do to make sure the pic gets used correctly?" can you clarify what do you mean by "used correctly"?-- Darwin Ahoy! 17:06, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sean Hurwitz (under review; verification; to rectify image lic.)[edit]

Hi there, am currently checking over this new entry material and image to rectify any errors and the image licensing tag (am also verifying data/cite acceptable per bio of living person guidelines - I am not the original article writer). Was hoping you could check my recent update regarding the image lic. tag and steer me if wrong? The photographer is not a logged in Wikipedia user here; yet has released image; form / authorization has been submitted; I believe another user uploaded a duplicate image file in error subsequent to original; just trying to verify my actions (or next action). Again, am monitoring and trying to rectify (make sure all checks out) here. Again, I am not the original user/contrib who uploaded. Thank you.

@Jenmedia: I apologize for taking so long to review and answer this. I see that upload needs a permission, have you sent it to OTRS already? -- Darwin Ahoy! 17:01, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Additional submission email has been provided, sent to OTRS; one of which is referenced herein (new ticket). Just trying to confirm the status, acceptability for such and help resolve issues. There was some previous activity and history on this image including prior (or perhaps duplicate) uploads and permission correspondence... Not sure why I'm unable to view access such now. At any rate... additional email / attempt has been sent to OTRS via [Ticket#: 2016030910025467]. Any insight you can provide is appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Ronaldo Correia de Brito[edit]

Olá, DarwIn, editei algumas informações na página wikipedia do autor Ronaldo Correia de Brito e você desfez por eu ter removido as informações com fontes sem explicar o porquê. O problema é que fiz as alterações a pedido do próprio autor de forma a retirar o conteúdo publicitário ou apologético, colocar fontes e reciclar o estilo. Você sabe se é possível refazer as minhas alterações? Você poderia me ajudar? Obrigada.— Preceding unsigned comment added by BillyPilgrim2 (talk • contribs)

@BillyPilgrim2: Veja, você removeu informação referenciada dali. Claro que o posso ajudar, mas você não preferia que tratássemos deste assunto na pt-wiki, em vez de ser aqui no Commons? -- Darwin Ahoy! 19:57, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes

  • The mobile web interface no longer suggests HiDPI thumbnails. This is to take up less bandwidth on slow or expensive connections. [62]
  • The search engine on wikipedia.org has been updated. [63]

Changes this week

  • Wikimedia has a new backup data center in Dallas. Because of planned work on this, you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for a short period of time on both 22 March and 24 March. This could be postponed to April 18. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. Because of a test, there will also be a couple of minutes where you can't edit the wikis on 15 March starting 07:00 UTC. You can read more about the server work. There will be more notifications and updates about this.
  • Administrators and other users with advanced permissions will need to have an 8-byte long passwords. This change takes place on 15 March. Users with too short passwords will be asked to change password the next time they log in. This was decided in a discussion on Meta and is because they can use tools that can hurt the wikis. [64]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 March. It will be on all wikis from 17 March (calendar).
  • The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones. [65]

  • Wiktionaries and Wikisources can now use the visual editor. It is an opt-in beta feature. It still needs development to work better with these projects. [79][80]
  • ORES is using new models. Tools that use ORES' predictions can behave strangely. ORES also has a new API. [81]
  • The visual editor now supports classical Greek characters. [82]

Problems

  • There was a bug when you used keyboard arrows in templates in the visual editor. This has now been fixed. [83]

  • The wikipedia.org portal will get many small bug fixes and improvements. Most will be for the search box and suggested results that were added in March. [84]

Meetings

Problems

  • Wikimedia tested a new data center last week. This meant that the wikis could be read but not edited for 45 minutes on April 19 and for 20 minutes on April 21. [91]

  • Unread notifications were sometimes counted incorrectly. This has now been fixed. [92]

Changes this week

  • Wikimedia Commons will have better access to Wikidata. They can use data from any page on Wikidata on any page on Commons. This will happen on April 26. [93]
