MediaWiki search
[edit]Hi! After a long time, I finally read your book, ISBN 9780596521745. It's "funny" that you/we actively discouraged people from using the Wikipedia search, when that's the only way we could (in theory) achieve fidelity of users and avoid relying on Google clicks. It would be interesting to hear whether you'd give the same advice now that mw:Help:CirrusSearch made the search much more powerful. --Nemo 08:15, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Nemo bis: - the book you mention, Wikipedia Reader's Guide: The Missing Manual, is just an extract from a larger book I wrote, Wikipedia: The Missing Manual. Chapter 1 is Appendix A from the larger book; Chapter 2 is Chapter 1 from the larger book.
- The larger book mentions search in two places. In the first - Chapter 4, "Creating a New Article" - it says "Wikipedia's internal search engine isn't the greatest, but it's the easiest place to start. Try searching for just part of what you think the article should be called (two or three words is plenty), and try any likely alternative names and spellings. ... After you've done a reasonable amount of internal searching of Wikipedia, try an external search engine. ... An external search engine could turn up a page that the internal search engine missed, since external search engines can be more tolerant of misspellings than Wikipedia's."
- To answer your question - I've not heard, in the last few years, the sort of complaints that were being made in 2007 (when I wrote the book[s]) about the internal search engine's problems - problems that lead to Lucene-search. So today I certainly wouldn't advise avoiding the internal search engine. Whether it's as good, or better than (say) a Google search with a "site:en.wikipedia.org" filter is another matter: I'd have to do some testing. (Since no one has asked me, and a second edition of the book you mention is rather unlikely, I've seen no need to make the comparison.)
- However, the larger context is important. Internal Wikipedia searches are, by definition, limited to the contents of Wikipedia. For readers - that's the target audience of the book you mention - I'd certainly advise, in general, against limiting a search for information to just Wikipedia - the Internet is full of useful information in a variety of places. That's why searching inside Wikipedia is described, in the book, as looking for "interesting articles", as opposed to (for example) using Wikipedia to "find what you want to know". So, if I understand what you mean by "achieving fidelity of users", I'm not at all in favor of even attempting that - I'd prefer that users see Wikipedia as just one of many possible sources, each with strengths and weaknesses, rather than the only place they need to look. John Broughton (talk) 16:00, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for your gut-measuring of the perception on search and for the quotation.
- As for fidelity, certainly not the only one, just the first. Many, many users search on Google "<topic> wiki" or similar and are hostage of Google even though they just want to visit Wikipedia: that makes no sense in my opinion. As for the rest of the web, it's worth noting that Wikipedia is the only surviving hand-curated link collection and this has some value too.
- Personally I search on (the most appropriate language of) Wikipedia directly when I know it's strong in what I'm looking for. I don't know what's best in general. --Nemo 08:37, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
What future IdeaLab campaigns would you like to see?
[edit]Hi there,
I’m Jethro, and I’m seeking your help in deciding topics for new IdeaLab campaigns that could be run starting next year. These campaigns aim to bring in proposals and solutions from communities that address a need or problem in Wikimedia projects. I'm interested in hearing your preferences and ideas for campaign topics!
Here’s how to participate:
- Learn more about this consultation
- Vote on and submit new campaign topics in the AllOurIdeas Survey
- Discuss campaign topics and ask questions on the IdeaLab talk page
Take care,
I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources, Wikimedia Foundation. 03:34, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Future IdeaLab Campaigns results
[edit]Last December, I invited you to help determine future ideaLab campaigns by submitting and voting on different possible topics. I'm happy to announce the results of your participation, and encourage you to review them and our next steps for implementing those campaigns this year. Thank you to everyone who volunteered time to participate and submit ideas.
With great thanks,
I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources, Wikimedia Foundation. 23:55, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Open Call for Individual Engagement Grants
[edit]Greetings! The Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) program is accepting proposals until April 12th to fund new tools, research, outreach efforts, and other experiments that enhance the work of Wikimedia volunteers. Whether you need a small or large amount of funds (up to $30,000 USD), IEGs can support you and your team’s project development time in addition to project expenses such as materials, travel, and rental space.
- Submit a grant request or draft your proposal in IdeaLab
- Get help with your proposal in an upcoming Hangout session
- Learn from examples of completed Individual Engagement Grants
With thanks, I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources 15:56, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
The 2021 Community Wishlist Survey is now open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community Tech team should work on over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the deadline on 30 November, or comment on other proposals to help make them better. The communities will vote on the proposals between 8 December and 21 December.
The Community Tech team is focused on tools for experienced Wikimedia editors. You can write proposals in any language, and we will translate them for you. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your proposals!
18:26, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.
In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.
We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.
We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!
