Можливість увімкнути редактор коду окремо від «покращеної панелі редагування»

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T47850

Для мене «покращена панель редагування» корисна лише через редактор коду, тож я хотів би, щоб для мене вона вмикалася лише під час редагування сторінок lua/javascript/css. --AS (talk) 09:31, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A code editor appears whenever you want to edit a Lua / JavaScript / CSS page regardless of your "enhanced editing toolbar" preferences, isn't it? I believe this is true at least in mediawiki.org.--Qgil-WMF (talk) 08:34, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, the code editor is part of the enhanced toolbar (integrated into the WikiEditor extension). Disabling it will disable the code editor. Bawolff (talk) 04:12, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Цитувати : Поділитися : Експорт

Пропоную консолідувати та замінити значну кількість елементів на бічній панелі, особливо розділ «друк/експорт», що допоможе покращити можливість ділитися/вивчати статті, а також дасть змогу вирішити бентежну проблему з «соцмережами» у Вікіпедії: новий інструмент можна було б назвати «Поділитися | Цитувати | Експорт». При натисканні на цю кнопку, за задумом, вгорі сторінки мало б відкритися чітке/просте діалогове вікно, в якому б містилися три чіткі групи/вкладки з опціями. Локальна спільнота кожної вікі могла б самостійно визначати, які елементи поміщати в кожну з таких груп.

Група 1 буде з назвою Цитувати, і вона матиме невеличкі випадні віконця для будь-якого бажаного формату — Harvard, BibTeX, MLA, Zotero... Тут також міститиметься чітке посилання на документацію, на кшталт w:Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Research_help

Група 2 буде з назвою Поділитися. В ній міститимуться:

  • постійне посилання на поточну версію
  • коротке URL-посилання
  • код QR (в ідеалі — код QRpedia)
  • посилання, щоб поділитися інформацією за допомогою будь-яких релевантних соцмереж. Для англійської Вікіпедії це однозначно будуть Twitter та Facebook, тоді як для китайської до таких соцмереж однозначно належатиме Weibo, і т. д.

Група 3 буде з назвою Експорт, і до неї входитимуть опції, що зараз перебувають у розділі «друк/експорт» на бічній панелі:

  • Версія для друку
  • Завантажити як PDF
  • Створення книги
  • Інструмент «gather» теж має потрапити в цю групу [якщо чесно, то я не впевнений, яким чином він має взаємодіяти зі «списком спостереження» чи функцією «створення книги»...]

Візуальний дизайн цієї системи, порядок груп та порядок елементів в межах цих груп мають створюватися на основі серйозного UX-дослідження, оскільки метою нововведення є створення «єдиного дозвільного центру для поширення інформації», а ТАКОЖ інтуїтивність цього інструменту — він не повинен втомлювати користувачів надлишком документації.

  1. Comment Comment Comparing your proposal to the current system (at least at en.wikipedia.org), there are currently five links on the left: (1) "Cite this page", which is virtually identical to your Group 1 (or could be made identical with minor tweaks; essentially no programming required; (2) "Permanent link", which is one of four items in your Group 2; and (3) through (5) - three links in the "Print/export" section, which are essentially your Group 3. So you're basically proposing (your Group 2) to add some sharing options. Plus, rather than the reader seeing five links, you want to start with one, which opens a dialog box showing three choices (tabs) - your three groups, which then further expands, depending on the tab chosen. John Broughton (talk) 04:35, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Correct, the primary work here is in interface improvements and design, not in technical difficulty. Bringing together related types of actions that are currently spread across the sidebar and/or exist as external tools, and enabling the community to determine the order/composition of these actions, will simplify the user-interface thereby encouraging more and better quality (in terms of attribution etc.) sharing of our content.

Спільний спосіб створення графіків у форматі SVG/PNG з використанням модулів Lua

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T66460

Розширенню EasyTimeline бракує деяких істотних функцій; крім того, воно не підтримує здатності обробки складного тексту, яка необхідна для скриптів, написаних з використанням нелатинських літер. Спільнота Вікіпедії також вручну створила графіки сімейного дерева, напр., en:Template:Inglis family tree, застосувавши «чорну магію» таблиць HTML. Тепер, коли ми маємо відповідну підтримку мов програмування у вікіпедійних проектах, було б добре, якби у спільноти з'явилася можливість генерувати графіки SVG/PNG з використанням скриптів Lua чи вікірозмітки, щось на кшталт розширення Inline SVG extension, але оновленого та готового до використання, або ж через перейняття однієї з прив'язок Lua до графічної бібліотеки Cairo. --ebrahimtalk 23:16, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Створення бота, який би показував зміни в статтях для кожного вікіпроекту

  • Проблема: Я працюю над статтями про черевоногих (= равлики). Ми вже маємо понад 30 000 статей у нашому вікіпроекті Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods. Вже існує бот для нових статей (en:User:AlexNewArtBot/GastropodsSearchResult), однак він не опікується змінами, здійсненими у вже існуючих статтях. Тому стає квазінеможливим відстежувати ці зміни та вилучати будь-який імовірний вандалізм. І ця ситуація є типовою також і для інших вікіпроектів.
  • Це стане в нагоді для усіх користувачів.
  • Пропоноване рішення: створення бота для кожного окремого вікіпроекту. Статті в кожному вікіпроекті легко ідентифікуються, оскільки вони мають відповідні шаблони на сторінках обговорень. JoJan (talk) 14:54, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Support Support The easiest way to implement this is to have a (hidden) watchlist that contains all the articles that "belong" to a WikiProject. (The list of articles is known, for example, by the assessment tool that now produces a summary table of the articles with different assessments, by importance, for each WikiProject.) Then all that's needed is a standard watchlist report (or reports) that can be invoked by anyone, which uses the (hidden) watchlist. John Broughton (talk) 05:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

API/GUI зі статистикою редакторів

Створіть API та/або GUI, що відображають інформацію на кшталт:

  • Як багато переглядів сторінок налічується у статей (не сторінок-перенаправлень), створених користувачем X за весь час?
  • Як багато байтів тексту додав користувач X до усіх статей Вікіпедії?
  • Скільки днів з моменту створення облікового запису користувач X активно редагує Вікіпедію? І який є рівень його активності протягом останніх 6 місяців?..
  • Які 5 вікіпроектних категорій статей найчастіше редагував користувач X за весь час? За останні 6 місяців?

Я думаю, що ці та подібні запити повинні формувати панель дописувача (наряду з іншою статистикою), яка й повинна демонструвати значну кількість збірної інформації про те, хто чим займається, і як багато робить. Метою цього нововведення є створення своєрідних знімків того, над чим працюють люди, що мало б полегшити пошук особи, з якою варто зв'язатися для вирішення певної проблеми, та розуміння того, з ким ти маєш справу. Це б також слугувало як потенційний «ігровий» мотиваційний фактор, оскільки користувачів бачили б ріст своєї статистики з плином часу. Ocaasi (talk) 17:48, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I love this proposal. We worked on making pageview stats publicly available, and that will be announced literally within a day or so. It's not queryable in the exact way requested here, but it wouldn't be hard to add another endpoint. Look out on the Analytics mailing list for an announcement and comment exactly how you'd like it improved. And we're focusing on edit data for the next 6 months at least (making it publicly queryable from a stable API).

  1. Comment Comment I think that it's important to determine how computationally intense each of these features is, and to drop those which require huge amounts of computer cycles. For example, for someone who has (say) a total of 20,000 edits in mainspace, determining the top five WikiProjects edited of the editor's lifetime might be implemented by (a) building a table of unique pages/articles edited, with a count included in each row of the table - so, perhaps 3,000 rows; (b) checking each article talk page (3,000), and, in a separate table, building a edit-Wikiproject row for each WikiProject found on an individual article talk page (if an average of two, then 6,000 rows). Unfortunately, while (a) can be done incrementally/cumulatively, (b) cannot, because at any time the WikiProjects listed on any given article talk page can change. So even if an editor hasn't edited in (say) a week, (b) has to be done again if the top five WikiProject list is to be accurate. And if an editor expects to see his/her dashboard to be up-to-date at all times - well, that's essentially impossible. John Broughton (talk) 05:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Neutral Neutral I agree with user John Broughton's points above; this would be very difficult. It does seem mildly useful, but more than that, it seems like making Wikipedia into a competition, with a leaderboard and user statistics. I think that getting a feel for an editor's past work does involve more research than one might want to do (currently), but that's not really a bad thing, and it does help protect user privacy and discourage "I have more edits than you do" fighting (not sure that's the right word). -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 17:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  5. Comment Comment "How many bytes of text has User X added to all Wikipedia articles?" is meaningless. Reverting vandalism can easily make you add tens of thousands bytes in one edit, sometimes several such edits in a row if a vandal keeps blanking a large article. That would dominate normal edits.

Зміни до інтерфейсу Освітньої програми

Як освітянин, що використовує сторінку Освітньої програми, я б хотів, щоб були впроваджені такі зміни:

  1. Спеціальна:Студенти є досить непрактичною ([w:uk:Спеціальна:Студенти]). На цій сторінці треба створити можливість сортування, а що ще важливіше — фільтрування: я хочу використовувати її для того, аби бачити лише СВОЇХ студентів. І, при цьому, всіх студентів а не купку з 50, чи до скількох там обмежена довжина таблиці на тій сторінці.
  2. Спеціальна:Мої_курси потребує архіву, опції автозгортання інформації про студентів, а також можливості визначення кількості днів, які треба відобразити на першій сторінці. Зараз, на жаль, це сторінка, яку я та мої студенти завжди із зітханням оминаємо, оскільки вона є непридатною до використання. Вона стає особливо проблематичною, коли особа, що нею користується, має кілька курсів; зараз я маю чотири курси, і це створює добрячий безлад, оскільки окремі студенти показані у 2+ списках курсів, і при цьому той, що мені потрібен, зазвичай перебуває не вгорі, і т. д.. Крім того, активність студентів має показувати їхні редагування і за межами англійської Вікіпедії (зараз мої студенти, скажімо, редагують корейську Вікіпедію).
  3. У списку статей студента (напр., отут: [3]) має показувати й статті за межами англійської Вікіпедії; мої студенти редагують статті в корейській Вікіпедії та на Вікімандрах, але на тій сторінці немає можливості створювати відповідні гіперпосилання.# Я хотів би мати можливість групувати студентів на тій сторінці в команди, ймовірно позначені відповідними кольорами та назвами.
  4. Я хотів би, щоб інформацію на тій сторінці можна було сортувати (за статтями, за іменем студента, за командою).
  5. Я хотів би, щоб на тій сторінці було місце, куди можна було б додати справжнє ім'я студента/номер студента. Ситуація ускладнюється, коли студенти реєструються під псевдонімами, і мені доводиться створювати окремий список, де записано, хто є хто.# Я хотів би мати певний інтерфейс відстежування прогресу для кожної статті/студента/групи. Студенти повинні опублікувати начерк на сторінці обговорення статті, або зробити дійсне редагування чи попросити переглянути своє редагування чи ще щось. Я хотів би мати змогу виокремити тих, що мають граничний строк виконання завдання, — виокремити їх для кожного курсу та мати клітинку для галочки поряд з кожним рядком студента/групи/статті.
  6. Такий список повинен мати кнопку для розгортання, після натискання якої можна було б побачити останні редагування студентів (як на Спеціальна:Мої_курси), і я хотів би, щоб там відображалася кількість редагувань для кожного студента за останній тиждень, чи інший подібний термін. --Piotrus (talk) 04:49, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Значна ревізія звітів Спеціальних сторінок

З багатьох різних причин чимала кількість звітів, що містяться на спеціальних сторінках, стали непрактичними, а деякі проекти були змушені створювати власні звіти, налаштовані вручну, такі як звіти бази даних, або ж через WMFLabs/Toolserver. Я рекомендує повну ревізію того, яким чином ці звіти генеруються, і створення певної ролі в межах спільноти користувачів (на кшталт статусу адміністратора чи редактора шаблонів), яка б давала можливість редагувати код, яким послуговуються ці спеціальні сторінки. Сюди, думаю, було б корисно включити такі функції:

  1. Здатність приховувати звіти зі списку, що відображається на певній сторінці, якщо вони не мають відношення до проекту.
  2. Додавання нових звітів у якомусь окремому налаштовному розділі.
  3. Здатність модифікувати критерії, за якими генеруються такі звіти.
  4. Більша гнучкість, що дозволить збільшити довжину звіту, навіть якщо це означає розбити його на 1000-2500 шматків тексту, розміщених на численних сторінках.

Звісно, це лише скорочений список бажаних функцій, і треба буде провести детальніший аналіз проблеми та визначити конкретні вимоги. Деякі речі вже були запропоновані тут як незначні зміни до окремих звітів чи інші зміни до утиліт, однак насправді тут потрібна значна ревізія того, як система MediaWiki створює та опрацьовує звіти.

Most of the QueryPage special pages run very expensive queries on the database so it is not a good idea to let users on wiki modify them. But we should investigate ways to let the pages more flexible (i.e. options in the form). --Glaisher (talk) 17:16, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks that's good to know. I think I heard that about the queries and maybe as part of the investigation we could see if its possible to make some of them run with less resources. Its also possible some aren't needed at all and could just be eliminated completely or turned off. For example, Pages without language links is pretty irrelevant for Wikipedia now (although some Wiki's may use it) so maybe that could be an example of one we disable and don't run. Does anyone really use Dormant pages or Orphaned pages? My guess is probably not. Reguyla (talk) 17:33, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Limited Endorsed Endorsed for consideration per This, that and the other. Given that these are "expensive" queries perhaps a special "Query editor" user-right that only those with demonstrated programming skills will hold. Proposed changes can be made by any editor on a test wiki, reviewed by the community similar to the way the English Wikipedia's bot approvals group approves bots, then given final technical approval by someone with the "query editor" user right and implemented by that same editor. I call this a limited endorsement because we should also seriously consider doing nothing because, as Reguyla pointed out, there is already a way to "get the job done" using external tools.

Збільшення кількості функцій у SecurePoll

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T117127
Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T118073

Розширення SecurePoll зараз використовується для виборів Арбкому в англійській та перській Вікіпедіях, а також для виборів Ради повірених ФВМ на Мета-вікі, при чому кожні з цих виборів мають по декілька переможців (тобто існує по декілька вакансій), однак усі опції, які пропонує SecurePoll — це система голосування, в якій є лише один переможець. підтверджувальне голосування, метод Шульце, оцінювальне голосування, та мажоритарне голосування використовуються для обирання єдиного переможця, і застосування їх для обрання декількох переможців — жахливий метод. Така звична система За/Проти/Утримуюсь, що широко використовується у Вікіпедії, є безпрецедентною в реальному світі — ви не знайдете жодної академічної книги чи статті в журналі на цю тему, тож ймовірні недоліки такої системи нам невідомі.

Існує й інша проблема: вибори Арбкому в англійській Вікіпедії, так само як і вибори до Ради повірених ФВМ, зазвичай завершуються з великою кількістю учасників, тоді як вибори в межах менших спільнот, таких як у перській Вікіпедії, страждають від надто малої кількості виборців (близько 50 осіб). Мала кількість виборців вимагає виваженої системи голосування для того, щоб від неї можна було отримати резонний результат. Спільнота перської Вікіпедії роздумує над використанням альтернативних систем голосування, таких як Meek STV, які зараз недоступні у SecurePoll. Я пропоную також включити до цього розширення й інші різноманітні методи, доступні в програмі для голосування. Я знайшов ще програму з відкритим кодом, яку можна використати для того, щоб застосувати пропорційний метод Кондорсе. Ймовірно, ви захочете побачити його алгоритм. Існує й інше програмне забезпечення, що покриває різноманітні системи голосування, але є невільним, а саме — OpenSTV. 4nn1l2 (talk) 23:40, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  8. Comment Comment In the past there have been proposals to use Single Transferable Vote (proportional system for multi-winner elections) in English Wikipedia ArbCom elections. One of the reasons it has never been seriously considered is the supposition that SecurePoll does not support it. Of course that does not necessarily mean that if it was available, it would be adopted, since it would mean abandoning the 50% threshold for election. Although it is possible, given the upsurge in the number of votes this year, that when people see the results there may be renewed interest in a proportional rather than a majoritarian system.

Інструмент, що показує статистику переглядів сторінки

Вікіпедія використовує старий сайт stats.grok.se, який треба оновити за допомогою патчів, аби його можна було коректно використовувати з інших вікі. Про декілька його багів вже давно відомо, однак досі ніхто так і не зайнявся їх виправленням.

З іншого боку, нещодавно розробили інструмент, що показує статистику вікіпереглядів, та є значно повнішим та більш гнучким, має графічний інтерфейс. На жаль, його праця припинилася, і ніхто не зміг відновити його роботу.

Мені здається, що швидше було б виправити наведені проблеми, аніж писати з нуля цілком новий інструмент для показу статистики, який повинен буде відстежувати перегляди всіх статей (річ фундаментальна для розуміння інтересів читачів), однак будь-який з цих двох варіантів стане хорошим покращенням. --Andyrom75 (talk) 22:01, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Попереднє інтервікі-прив'язування та налаштування другої мови

Моя ідея полягає в тому, щоб створити попереднє інтервікі-прив'язування на Вікіданих шляхом пов'язування існуючої статті з неіснуючими статтями іншими мовами. Які переваги від цієї зміни? Це допоможе нашим редакторам та читачам, даючи їм змогу читати/перекладати статті з іншої мови, особливо якщо така особа є двомовною/багатомовною. Будь-хто може змінити свої налаштування та додати Другу мову, після чого система автоматично прив'язуватиме будь-яке червоне посилання із синім посиланням на розділ Вікіпедії другою мовою користувача.

  • Приклади:
    • Якщо французька є моєю першою мовою, а англійська — другою:

conjonctivite allergique [En anglais]

  • Іспанська:

La conjuntivitis alérgica [en Inglés]

  • Англійська, та арабська встановлена як друга:

Almashad mosque bombing [In Arabic]

The system could periodically (weekly?) scan to see if an entity in the separate table now existed as an article; if so, then there could be a separate process (human or automated) to confirm (or not) that the new article was in fact on the same topic as was expected; once that's determined, the entity would be removed from the to-be-created table. John Broughton (talk) 05:27, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • To-be-created wikilinked articles would need to be stored in the target wikis.
    • They could be listed (deselectably) on Special:Wantedpages with an appropriate comment.
    • Authors creating wanted pages should generally be informed that WhatLinkshere has a non-empty list, if so, and be asked to take care of the appropriate actions when links do or do not match. --Purodha Blissenbach (talk) 14:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Об'єднання облікових записів SUL

Відповідно до SUL § У мене є два або більше облікових записів із різними назвами. Чи можна їх об'єднати в один обліковий запис?, об'єднання облікових записів SUL ще треба технічно уможливити. Однак я не знайшов насправді корисної інформації щодо дійсного процесу імплементації такої функції. В мене є п'ять дійсних акаунтів (ті, що з тильдами, перелічені на моїй сторінці користувача на ptwiki), і мені цікаво, коли їх об'єднання стане можливим. Перед тим, як в назви облікових записів були додані тильди, я відчував, що зазнаю утисків у своєму домашньому проекті. Під час суперечки з певним не-дуже-дружнім адміністратором, він звернув увагу на подібність імені користувача в облікових записах, і запитав мене, чи я не практикую «ляльковий театр», а також запропонував звернутися у «Newbie Café» (сторінка на нашому Порталі спільноти, присвячена новачкам). І це при тому, що я — один із найстарших (якщо не найстарший) редакторів (з 2004 року), все ще активних у моєму проекті. На щастя, при голосуваннях я ніколи не зазнавав утисків через мою кількість редагувань, надто малу на той час, однак через це мені довелось розмістити відповідну заяву на своїй сторінці користувача. Ця заява все ще перебуває на тому ж місці, і мені не терпиться врешті стерти її... --Usien6 (talk) 15:43, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier discussion and endorsements
AFAIK there is already a tool for account merging which has several “bugs”, which means that more often than desired it makes the accounts to be merged totally unusable. They therefore hesitate to continue, and probably even consider to not use it at all. IIRC the reason for this problem is that the database of 15 years is too complex to safely merge accounts. You might want to get in contact with @DerHexer:, who has insight into SUL related issues and is probably willing to give a short update. —MisterSynergy (talk) 16:52, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The tool cannot be used, a re-write is required. But Usien6 can confirm with each of these accounts on their userpages that all accounts are his own. Then I could manually rename them to Usien6 where he can merge them on his own. Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:18, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If, hypothetically, all affected users will be fine with a partial solution that exists today (such as whatever solution Usien6 winds up using, then there is no need to do anything (that's not to say we shouldn't do it at all, only that it should be a very low priority). On the other hand, if thousands of editors are affected by this and there is no solution acceptable to them, then it should be higher on the priority list.

  • Endorsed Endorsed it is not just a problem for old pre-SUL accounts, newbies sometimes create two accounts by mistake and use both. I would like to provide them a solution before a "feisty" patroller accuses them of sockpuppeting. Also, it is a minor occurrence but some users have created new accounts for a fresh start (nothing bad, just a psychological thing) but at certain point they want "come to terms" to their past. TThere are even users who forgot their password and created a new account, but we all know that they are telling the truth. Sometimes they have to make thousands of edits to become again AP, with a huge waste of time for patroller. So... it is not urgent, I agree, but if we can do something, why not?--Alexmar983 (talk) 00:32, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I mean ability for a user to create a version (something like non-stabilized version in FlaggedRevs, but with few parallel versions, because there could be conflicts in non-stabilized version). For example a non-admin user can suggest a change for Main page, and if the change is ok, an admin just merges the version, without forking a page, copy-pasting etc.
It would be nice to have at least next abilities (which don't need core changes):
ability to fork page. Create a copy of page in personal namespace with one click and some magick to not include the page into categories. Why: for experiments and for users forbidden to edit particular pages.
ability to see diff of different pages. As I understand, there is currently no fast way to see diff of a fork and original page.
ability to partial reverting. During editing, when I see last diff, would be nice if I could just click some "revert" buttons next to particular chunks in diff so it would revert corresponding text in textarea. So I don't need to jump between diff and text to revert some changes on a page. --AS (talk) 14:02, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This would greatly complicate the process of article editing, steepening the learning curve, at a benefit only in very specific cases. It looks like an attempt to solve with technology a problem that should be solved socially. As for copying a page to personal namespace, just copying and pasting the wikicode will do: it's not a hard task that urgently needs simplifying.

„This would greatly complicate the process of article editing, steepening the learning curve“ — this way of editing would be optional. „It looks like an attempt to solve with technology a problem that should be solved socially“ — imho, for now we are solving with social conventions a problem that could be solved with both technology and conventions (and we should delegate as much problems to technology as possible). „making it easier to create user drafts will lead to many mor stale drafts“ — why stale drafts could be a problem (how many is too many)? --AS (talk) 16:25, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One just copies the current article into the sandbox hits save and than uses history to view the dif. One can state who the author is in the edit summary.

I don't think that en:Wikipedia:Content forking actually is relevant at all. We already have "draft" namespaces, for instance. This could simply enable a better implementation of en:Wikipedia:Drafts, which is already consensus on enwiki. Further, English Wikipedia is not all of the wikimedia project; you'll notice that some of the requests about this feature come from wikisource or wikibooks. So citing policy on enwiki should not be considered determinative; once implemented each projects can determine whether to enable this on a namespace-by-namespace basis.

  1. Comment Comment It's easy to say that the system should be able to merge two versions; in fact, this is essentially impossible to program (automate).

However, once someone else edits the underlying page, I could only ADD info to the end of my previous edit summary. This would still allow me to add a forgotten edit summary, but not remove what was already there when someone else made an edit after I did.

  41. Strong oppose - the edit summary is part of the editing history. going back to edit your edit summary shouldn't escape the transparency that's otherwise a fundamental part of editing Wikipedia. We would have to either introduce histories to each edit or display both the old and new edit summary in the page history. The former is obviously a technical and practical non-starter and the latter sounds like it would add unnecessary complication to already dense history pages such that it wouldn't really offer anything that couldn't be accomplished with a dummy edit or talk page message. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:09, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If I see an edit in my watchlist and then look at the article history or at the user's contributions I don't expect the edit summary to have changed in the meantime - that'd be too confusing.

  45. Support Support But only for your own summaries, and only within a short (10 min, maybe 1 hr) time. It is _so_ easy to make a typo or a formatting error that is glaringly obvious, but uncorrectable. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 22:48, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  46. Oppose weak oppose I like the conditions that Martin of Sheffield is proposing. However, I can see the potential for abuse that User:Rhododendrites is concerned about outweighing the potential benefits. This would have to have be subject to careful limitations (maybe the feature is disabled once another editor has viewed the edit history?).

  48. Support Support I support this with the conditions that users can only edit their own summaries, do so within a certain time frame, and only if no other editors have edited the page in the meantime. There should also be an option to disable summary edits on articles that have a history of edit warring, frequent vandalism, etc. In regards to a user privilege, I think it would be helpful for certain approved users to edit other editors' summaries, since there are some users who leave misleading summaries. Nocowardsoulismine (talk) 17:15, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  49. Highly Conditional Support Support This is very implementation-sensitive feature. I would support almost none of the proposals which come easily to mind, except that I would support something like the following: 1) ability to annotate an existing edit-summary, or an existing edit-summary-annotation, for the user who made the edit, and for admins. 2) ability to strikethru, in full *or* in part, an existing edit-summary-or-annotation, for the user who wrote that edit-summary-or-annotation. 3) ability to revdel an existing summary, which is a feature that already exists, or an existing annotation, which would be a new feature. Under this scheme, nobody would be able to modify the text of an edit-summary. Nobody would be able to hide/revdel an edit-summary, except for people that already can. Examples: if the user made a goof, they could strikethru the offending bit: "fix typo my moronic content opponent made, add three refs" could become "fix typo my moronic content opponent mademodified 2015-12-12 @ 12:34z, add three refs". If the user needed to do more than merely erase a goof, but needed to *add* something, then they could annotate an edit-summary like this: "blank" to have an additional annotated-edit-summary-on-a-new-line, one indented line upwards saying "Added 2015-12-12 @ 23:45z:forgot to leave edit-summary, namely that I fixed another typo, once again made by my new friend". Both types of action should cause a watchlist-alert to be sent to all people watching the page in question, just like a null-edit would cause. Both types of action should appear in Special:Contribs, in some fashion. The GUI-complexity of this specific scheme is pretty low: there is no history-of-the-history needed, beyond the autogenerated superscripted info shown in the examples, and the only additional controls are a button called Strikethru and a button called Annotate (maybe even just *one* single combo-button called AdjustSummary), which appear next to one's own edit-summaries and edit-annotations (or for admins next to all edit-summaries-and-annotations). I'm against letting people rewrite the edit history, in a way that actually *changes* that edit-history. en:WP:REVDEL is a necessary trick to hide information, but does not permit rewriting it. Neither should we implement that ability, to arbitrarily modify the past! See also, en:Mutator_method versus en:Immutable_object, specifically the bit saying "...simpler to understand and reason about...." All actions on-wiki are logged; changes to a page are found in the edit-history of that page. Self-referential changes to that edit-history, should be found right in that very edit-history with no additional pages required. Permitting strikethru (full or partial), and/or annotations (which can in turn be struckthru and/or recursively annotated), and absolutely nothing else, is the way to achieve that. Pretty much any other implementation approach, means I agree with Rhododendrites and DexDor and Alsee: too fucking complicated if we allow arbitrary changes, and too many risks of abuse/confusion/screwups/complexity through loopholes in the equally-complicated mitigating-schemes, to be worth the slight gains. So either build it so that arbitrary changes are not allowed, but simple strikethru and simple annotation-on-new-line are, or do not build it, pretty please with a cherry on top. 75.108.94.227 20:59, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Інструменти для роботи з цитуваннями вилучених статей в академічних журналах

Будь ласка, перегляньте цю гілку та це архівоване обговорення.

Я думав про інструмент, що дозволить користувачам використовувати різноманітні способи посилання на відкликані статті, скажімо, через числа DOI (користувач Peaceray є експертом у них). Інструмент приймав би численні вхідні дані водночас, скажімо, всі 64 статті, що були відкликані одним махом. Інструмент мав би повертати користувачеві список усіх вікіпедійних статей, в яких такі посилання використовуються у формі цитувань (приміток), та виділяти параграфи статті, де ці цитування використовуються. Це б, сподіваюся, значно підвищило ефективність робочого процесу при роботі з відкликаними статтями журналів. Маю надію, що інструмент зможе працювати в усіх численних вікі та в усіх мовних версіях. --Pine✉ 05:23, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Майстер створення вікіпроектів

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T97210

Створення хорошого порталу для вікіпроекту є надзвичайно виснажливою справою, та ще й такою, що поглинає чимало часу. Вона вимагає глибоких знань вікірозмітки, синтаксису шаблонів та того, як створити інтерфейс із численними інструментами та ботами, що існують для використання в межах вікіпроекту. Використавши FormWizard (або новий, спеціально створений скрипт), інтерфейс майстра можна було б розробити для створення порталів вікіпроектів, що значно б спростило цей процес.

  • Endorsed Endorsed On itWiki I have been asking for at least a non-compulsory standard for the style/layout of Wikiproject and Wikiportals pages... but not enough people were interested so far and projects/portals with strong identities have this fear they would be forced to be less indipendent on the long term... I hardly doubt that... 1 or 2% of projects/portals can be creative and do wonderful things, good for them, but we need some "structure" to provide decent maintenance and support to the "vast majority", espcially now that users contributions are flat or decreasing. Many sections of projects are very often the same such as "articles to do", "related project", "most requested article (red links)", "quality evaluation", "articles under deletion", "articles recently created in the area", "portals under this project's supervision" etc... they are more or less the usual building blocks. The same happens for the portals: "quality image(s)", "good article(s)", "new articles", "related portals", "rotation of selected articles"... at the end the code is usually copy-pasted from project/portals to project/portals with no perpspective and a huge confusion. It's a mess: some sections are updated manually, others are automatic, same sections show different names. An impressive amount of time can be lost making order in this mess when necessary. Usually, newbies try to (re)create or reinvigorate projcts/portals more than old users... It's normal, if old users were interested, they would have already done something... newbies are the fuse or the critical mass of this process and they're often left alone. No decent draft, limited success. That's why specific "plug-and-play" tools would be useful. --Alexmar983 (talk) 19:23, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A wizard to assist erasing abandoned wikiprojects/portals might be more useful. For info: en wp currently has 126368 pages in Portal namespace. DexDor (talk) 23:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
