Tech News: 2017-42

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

• When you edit a template with the visual editor it follows the template's format configuration on how to save it. You can now change the format in more powerful ways if your wiki wants it. [1][2]
• The TwoColConflict extension is a new way to solve edit conflicts. It makes it easier to copy and paste the relevant text to the text field. It has been a beta feature for the last five months. You can now try out the new interface on a page where you will actually get simulated edit conflicts. You can give feedback to the developers.

Problems

• There is a problem with recent changes pages and your watchlist that show a large number of pages. Until it is fixed, Wikidata edits will not be shown on recent changes or in your watchlist on Commons or Russian Wikipedia. If necessary, Wikidata edits will be removed from all wikis. [3]
• Notifications are not working for some actions. For example some users don't get a notification when they are mentioned. The developers are working on fixing this. [4]
• Users on some wikis could not change their preferences. This has now been fixed. [5]

Changes later this week

• Editors and readers who still use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP will not be able to use Wikipedia from 17 October. Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP can't connect securely to the wikis. When we allow them to do so it means that we get less security for everyone else. If you use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP you can install Firefox 52 ESR instead. Around 0.1% of the traffic to the Wikimedia wikis comes from Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP. [6]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 October. It will be on all wikis from 19 October (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 17 October at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Structured Commons newsletter, October 25, 2017

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Rama published an article about Structured Commons in Arbido, a Swiss online magazine for archivists, librarians and documentalists: original in French, illustrated and the article translated in English.

• Translation. Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• The documentation and info pages about Structured Data on Commons have received a thorough update, in order to get them ready for all the upcoming work. Obsolete pages were archived. There are undoubtedly still a lot of omissions and bits that are unclear. You can help by editing boldly, and by leaving feedback and tips on the talk pages.
• We have started to list tools, gadgets and bots that might be affected by Structured Commons in order to prepare for a smooth transition to the new situation. You can help by adding alerts about/to specific tools and developers on the dedicated tools page. You can also create Phabricator tasks to help keep track of this. Volunteers and developers interested in helping out with this process are extremely welcome - please sign up!
• Help write the next Structured Commons newsletter.

Presentations / Press / Events

Audience at Structured Commons design discussion, Wikimania 2017

• Structured Data on Commons was presented at Wikimania 2017 in Montréal for a packed room. First design sketches for search functionality were discussed during a breakout session. Read the Etherpad reports of the presentation and the breakout session.
• Katherine Maher, Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, answered questions on Quora. One of her answers, mentioning Structured Data on Commons, was republished on Huffington Post.
• Sandra Fauconnier, Amanda Bittaker and Ramsey Isler from the Structured Commons team will be at WikidataCon. Sandra presents Structured Commons there (with a focus on fruitful collaboration between the Wikidata and Commons communities). If you attend the conference, don't hesitate to say hi and have a chat with us! (phabricator task T176858)

Team updates

The Structured Commons team at Wikimania 2017

Two new people have been hired for the Structured Data on Commons team. We are now complete! :-)

• Ramsey Isler is the new Product Manager of the Multimedia team.
• Pamela Drouin was hired as User Interface Designer. She works at the Multimedia team as well, and her work will focus on the Structured Commons project.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!

Research

Design research is ongoing.

• Jonathan Morgan and Niharika Ved have held interviews with various GLAM staff about their batch upload workflows and will finish and report on these in this quarter. (phabricator task T159495)
• At this moment, there is also an online survey for GLAM staff, Wikimedians in Residence, and GLAM volunteers who upload media collections to Wikimedia Commons. The results will be used to understand how we can improve this experience. (phabricator task T175188)
• Upcoming: interviews with Wikimedia volunteers who curate media on Commons (including tool developers), talking about activities and workflows. (phabricator task T175185)

Development

In Autumn 2017, the Structured Commons development team works on the following major tasks (see also the quarterly goals for the team):

• Getting Multi-Content Revisions sufficiently ready, so that the Multimedia and Search Platform teams can start using it to test and prototype things.
• Determine metrics and metrics baseline for Commons (phabricator task T174519).
• The multimedia team at WMF is gaining expertise in Wikibase, and unblocking further development for Structured Commons, by completing the MediaInfo extension for Wikibase.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.

Ecopark disclaimer.

To whom, this may concern, I have never received nor am I planning on receiving any compensations for uploading photography of Ecopark, I simply think that it will be a future district of Hanoi (yes, I know WP:CRYSTAL) and upload pictures 📷 of notable areas in the district for a future expansion of its Wikipedia article. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) (Sockuppets 🎭) 11:17, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Also I have absolutely no COI with any of the subjects of the pictures 📷 I upload, and every upload is purely for educational purposes.--Donald Trung (Talk 💬) (Sockuppets 🎭)

Coin disclaimer.

I do not sell any coin and/or banknote that I upload hete nor do I plan on, the pictures here are purely for educational purposesa and all these coins are historical items. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) (Sockuppets 🎭) 11:20, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Bad writing disclaimer.

One might often see me make odd errors in writing, that's becauseI use a desktop browser on a mobile device. For this reason I might often have odd misspellings that wouldn't normally occur with desktop users. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) (Sockuppets 🎭) 11:22, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Busy. (September - 2017).

As of September 11th I am busy with my job again and may not respond swiftly to any enquiries, in fact it mayn even take weeks until I notice something. I place this here as I don't know how to put those boxes on top of my talk page and don't really want to add it. Feel free to inform me here of anything and I'll try to respond as soon as I'm allowed to but I will be slow. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) (Sockuppets 🎭) 12:01, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Disclaimer: How I upload pictures 📷 + I'm extremely busy in real life.

Generally I tend to upload a small number of images per time, usually 4 or 5, at most 11 and preferably 1 as Microsoft Edge tends to crash 💥 with the slightest issues (simply leaving the tab might force re-load it causing all the images to be lost) for that reason I tend to draft long descriptions in my e-mail 📧 inbox (as I did with this disclaimer), for that reason you might see “Uploaded from my Microsoft Lumia 950 XL with Microsoft Windows 10 Mobile 📱.” or a variation of this in the description, this is in no way an advertisement for Microsoft, in fact the opposite is true as it indicates how often I would have to draft something before being able to publish it, the majority of my edits are “edit preparations” I do off-wiki, though I try to do this less I still find it to be easier than doing this here, unlike everyone else I simply don't care about edit counts, to me the quality of edits top the quantity and I know that no one here thinks like that but the readers/watchers tend to see “the final product”, not the process and other than the people who edit here no one is actually interested in your edit count so I will mostly continue to prepare texts in my e-mail draft. 📫

Disclaimer (Product pictures, Etc.)

I have no COI with the pictures 📷 of buildings, products, food items, Etc. I upload, all my uploads are exclusively for educational purposes and not to serve any corporate or capitalistic agenda. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) (Sockpuppets 🎭) (Articles 📚) 15:35, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Supermarkets and stores disclaimer (again, no COI). 😒

The reason you might see me take pictures 📷 of stuff such as local supermarkets is very easy, images of Dutch supermarkets tend to be scarce and of bankrupt supermarket chains such as Konmar, Super de Boer, and Edah there tend to be almost none, of Supercoop or the older the Coop (which co-existed with “the newer” (read: Orange) Coop) there tend to be literally none despite these supermarkets being national. If Wikipedia or the posterity would ever need these pictures 📷 unfortunately Wikimedia Commons doesn't seem to be offering them at the moment.

Also remember that “the most mundane” pictures 📷 tend to be the most useful 🤔, every day items tend to be the most easily useable pictures, and though I have a love 💘 of photographing “the obscure”, “the special”, Etc. It's pictures 📷 of common every day things that are severely underrepresented that tend to be the most useful for things like Wikipedia. So if you see something every day around you you should look for it on commons here and then take a picture 📷 of it if you can’t find it here. I am literally writing these disclaimers here because the likes of Bad Faith Beetstra assumes in ill faith that every edit I make is a COI, I do not have a COI with Jumbo, Aldi, Lidl, whatever, if you think so then making judgements probably shouldn't be something you should do. Further I am more cautious with restaurants as not every restaurant may serve an educational purpose but in general I tend to look for monuments and the likes or just really old buildings. Sometimes modern stores are located in old buildings and Commons only has black-and-white pictures 📷 of the old ones so always look for some interesting local history. 😉

Religious buildings, Symbols, Etc. disclaimer

Another disclaimer, this time regarding my pictures 📷 of religious iconography and other “spiritual” things, well I find most of those to be very beautiful, and as many churches and temples are very important in local histories and pictures 📷 of those things are certainly useful in illustrating their global and personal influence I myself am not only a strong Atheist but an outspoken anti-theist (though for obvious reasons I remain neutral here), I have no COI with any religion, in fact the opposite is true. Just because I took a picture 📷 of your local Church 💒 doesn't mean that I affiliate with whatever it stands for, but since the #1 rule on Wikimedia projects is to assume a COI I don't have one with any religious or “spiritual” organisation and/or denomination. 😒✝☪🕉☸✡🔯🕎☯☦

Upload batch no COI

I also have no COI with any batch I request. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) (Sockpuppets 🎭) (Articles 📚) 10:05, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom 👑 Relations add.

This is too minor to add on the images itself but the buildings were the former local buildings, I didn't include this in the titles because I explained that the building was in the process of being demolished. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) ("The Chinese coin troll" 👿) (Articles 📚) 10:28, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Foute afbeeldingen toevoegingen (qua format) op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia disclaimer.

Excuseer mij voor soms het gebruiken van:

Een winkel.

In plaats van:

Een winkel.

Soms vergeet ik dit te doen, meestal omdat ik met infoboxen werk dus dit over het hoofd zie. 😅

Cropping my images.

Anyone may crop pictures 📷 of coins and/or paper money 💴 I upload, I mostly work within the limitations of my camera and try as much as possible to centre the pictures 📷 I take, but it’s common for my camera to take a few seconds to finally take the picture 📷 so not all pictures 📷 I take of these subjects may end up perfectly, but when you crop them I do request that you keep all metadata, for that reason I only rarely upload crops myself as my cell.-phone 📞 doesn't retain any additional information 🛈 after the cropping. 😒

Help requested.

@Guanaco: Hello, I’ve been back for a while and want tự continue with my user page from where I’ve left off, only there’s one issue, it was deleted.

And for that reason I would like to request the deletion of my current user pag. It was unjustly deleted with the reason given “lockd acc”, it is not stated in any rule or guideline that user pages should be deleted and seeing how that person bragged about nearly getting half a million admin actions at User talk:Lenin’s Ghost (which I won’t be linking here to not feed that troll) while also unjustfully deleting various images I uploaded as “copyright violations” makes me think that there is a culture of counting admin stats over actual content that benefits the project (especially since my socks got blocked two weeks after they were locked and at no time did I evade my block here). So I hope that I could have my CURRENT user page deleted to later file 📁 and then do an undeletion for the older one which is basically my “to-do list” for images I have yet tự upload. I have already moved the Sockpuppetry templates to my talk page’s archive so if anyone in the future is interested in the case this deletion won’t be an obstacle to that.

I do not wish for the associated talk page to be deleted, only the current (blank) user page.

Tech News: 2017-47

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

• If you use the Chrome web browser on Android you can see a download icon on the mobile website. You can download a formatted PDF. It will work in other mobile browsers in the future. [27]
• The abuse filter now has a function called get_matches. You can use it to store matches from regular expressions – one of each capturing group. You can read more in Phabricator.

Problems

• Last week's MediaWiki version didn't come to all Wikipedias because of a database crash. It will be on all wikis on 20 November. [28][29][30]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 21 November at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 22 November at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Language converter syntax will no longer work inside external links. Wikitext like http://-{zh-cn:foo.com; zh-hk:bar.com; zh-tw:baz.com}- must be replaced. You will have to write -{zh-cn: http://foo.com ; zh-hk: http://bar.com ; zh-tw:http://baz.com }- instead. This only affects languages with Language Converter enabled. Examples of such languages are Chinese and Serbian. This will happen next week. [31][32]

• Missing pages are no longer shown when there is no match for search query. Message informing that there are no results is displayed instead.
• Embedded search results enabled to provide users with more translation opportunities. Articles user recently edited (in currently selected source language wiki) are surfaced when there is no input in search bar, with additional info if article is missing in user's currently selected target language.

• Some tests are conducted in order to prepare the rewriting of Structured Discussions' interface. That rewriting will have no visible impact on users but it will ease future changes.

Other projects

• Compact Language Links has been deployed on German Wikipedia. [43]

Dear GVR (Grote Vriendelijke Reus?),

Today I saw that the Royal Dutch Mint used an photograph 📷 you took on one of their coincards, which I as a coin-collector wish 🌠 to thank you for creating such an amazing image and uploading it for all to see. I’m sure that coin collectors will be staring at that picture 📷 for hundreds of years, so congratulations 🎉 on being immortalised by the Royal Dutch Mint. In case you haven’t seen it your picture was used here. The image really makes the coin 👛 stand out more.
