  • Notifications were not always marked as read when you followed a link from an email notification. This will now happen. [8]

Changes this week

  • The list of other languages an article is available in will be shorter on small Wikipedias and non-Wikipedia projects. This is to make it easier to find the most relevant languages for each user. You will still be able to see the other languages. [9][10]
  • Alerts (the red badge) will not be automatically marked as read when you open the Notifications popup. [11]
  • When you get several thanks you can see them as one notification. This is instead of one notification for each thanks. [12]

Viking gold

Hi.

I received from you massage on email.

Hello, I'm Quenhitran. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Archaeology of Denmark because it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks. —ALittleQuenhi (talk to me) 07:23, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

I just find interesting post about Vikings gold and not find another page where i can added liek external links. Maybe you can recommend what page on wikipedia can be best for that interesting post http://triponiser.com/the-gold-of-vikings-viking-jewelry/  ?

Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AleksandrsTraveler2016 (talk • contribs) 07:44, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Dokha page

What about my edit was not civil? I added a great deal of information and removed that which didn't seem appropriate for wikipedia. Can you be more specific?

Socionics, Criticism

Hello, Quenhitran. See the original D. Lytov's text: "Practical Application of Socionics: Main spheres of application of socionics are almost the same as for the Myers-Briggs Type Theory (MBTT), except for one particular thing: MBTT deals only with intertype differences, while socionics also deals with intertype compatibility" http://www.socioniko.net/en/articles/lytovs-intro3.html. And it's all. Deleted text is original research WP:PRIMARY with the distortion source.

OMX revisions

Hi Quenhitran. Thanks for telling me about your change. I logged in to give an answer regarding my change to the OMX page (using IP 212.78.165.181). The reason I changed the URL was because the old URL is no longer used by the company. When the old URL is used they automatically link to the new page I had set (at least that's what happened when I used it). Please tell me if this does not happen when you click the old URL or if there is another reason for leaving the old link (http://www.omxnordicexchange.com) in favour of the new one (http://www.nasdaqomxnordic.com/). Kind regards. NicoLaan (talk) 08:11, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-26

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

  • The ORES service has now moved to a new location. This should make it easier to use ORES. The ORES review service is now available as a beta feature on Wikidata and Persian Wikipedia. ORES is an artificial intelligence system for Wikimedia wikis to help editors. [13]
  • The order of wikis in collapsed cross-wiki notifications was different than when the list was expanded. This is now fixed. [14]
  • A new category for tracking pages with math errors was added: Category:Pages with math errors. [15]

Problems

Changes this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 June. It will be on all wikis from 30 June (calendar).
  • The way to mark notifications as read or unread will be changed to be more clear. [18]

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 28 June at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • The Collaboration team at the Wikimedia Foundation will look at developing better tools for edit review. This is because research suggests we scare away newcomers who want to help. [19]
  • An e-mail from the Editing Department explains the technical work that is planned and being researched for the future. Items include better wikitext and visual editing, prompts for edits, language improvements, annotations, and meta-data separation. [20]
  • The sorting of Notifications into the two fly-out menus is going to change on July 5 to 7. Bundled notifications should be easier to explore and mark as read individually. [21][22][23]
  • From 29 June git.wikimedia.org (running Gitblit) will redirect all requests to Phabricator. The vast majority of requests should be correctly redirected. [24]
  • Catalan and Polish Wikipedias will have Wikidata descriptions added to articles in the mobile view by default. This is currently a beta option for the mobile versions. This might come to other wikis later. [25]

Wikidata weekly summary #215

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Editing News #2—2016

Editing News #2—2016 Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Did you know?

It's quick and easy to insert a references list.

Screenshot showing a dropdown menu with many items

Place the cursor where you want to display the references list (usually at the bottom of the page). Open the "Insert" menu and click the "References list" icon (three books).

If you are using several groups of references, which is relatively rare, you will have the opportunity to specify the group. If you do that, then only the references that belong to the specified group will be displayed in this list of references.

Finally, click "Insert" in the dialog to insert the References list. This list will change as you add more footnotes to the page.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.

Recent changes

The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.

The single edit tab feature combines the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Editing" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.

Future changes

The "Save page" button will say "Publish page". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.

The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966)

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

Let's work together

Wagon-wheel_effect

Electronic ballasts are already covered in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_ballast#Electronic_ballasts Also the sources for original assertion are not shown and it is false. Most of the old-style magnetic ballasts had a capacitor to provide lead-lag between two lamps and that was greatly minimizing any strobing effect.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_ballast#Reactive_ballasts — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.111.53 (talk) 10:33, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Recent changes

  • A new image scaler fixed a number of bugs for showing SVG files. Some new problems turned up. [28][29][30]
  • Notifications are grouped by types. They are now counted by number of notifications and not by unread groups. That change may increase the number of notifications displayed. The earlier way of counting was often incorrect. Unread notifications will also be displayed first. [31][32][33]
  • Special:Notifications now has a maximum width for the notifications list on desktop computers. This allows long titles and descriptions to be cut properly. Notifications are now also better parsed. [34][35][36]

Problems

  • On 5 July Wikimedia Commons had problems and could not be edited for 20 minutes. For a short while after that the recent changes log and some gadgets were not working properly. It affected administrative actions on other projects too. [37]
  • Users who have multiple unread notifications can mark them as read by visiting Special:Notifications page on their wiki.

Changes this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 July. It will be on all wikis from 14 July (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 12 July at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
