To all translators: Thank you for your help!
We are planning to send this announcement on August 19, so there is time for translations until August 19, 9 am (Berlin time).
On behalf of the Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland, many thanks, once again! --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 11:17, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!
[edit]
Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on the project page.
We want your feedback to make sure this feature works well for you:
- Please try the current state of development on beta wiki and let us know what you think.
- Sign up here to get updates and/or invites to participate in user research activities.
Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.
Please help us spread the message. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
