Temporary Sysop

Hallo. Habe Dir eine Frage uunter deinem Ansuchen gestellt. Ich sehe keinen Zusammenhang zwischen metawiki und OSM und kann mir nicht vorstellen dass wir das tool hier brauchen können da wir nur eine dokumentationswiki sind. Falls Du global sysop gemeint hast (um es auf anderen wikies zu implementieren), dann wäre das hier der richtige Platz. Wobei ich trotzdem denke, dass vor dem implementieren die Gemeinschaft jeder einzelner wiki zum Konzensus kommen sollte. Gruß --WizardOfOz ^talk 07:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Ich denke, dass ist absolut vergleichbar mit dem WikiMiniAtlas (MediaWiki:Wikiminiatlas.js) welcher ja auch für MetaWiki direkt keinen Mehrwert liefert, sich dann aber in den lokalen WPs mit einem kleinen Dreizeiler in der MediaWiki:Common.js einbinden läßt:

if (wgServer == "https://secure.wikimedia.org") {
    var metaBase = "https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/meta";
} else {
    var metaBase = "http://meta.wikimedia.org";
}
importScriptURI(metaBase+"/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Wikiminiatlas.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&smaxage=21600&maxage=86400")

Den Entscheidungsprozess über die Einbindung will ich ja den lokalen Wikipedias überlassen, schon weil die OSM Daten in manchen Landstrichen noch unzureichend sind, daher ist aus meiner Sicht kein global-Status notwendig. Ohne eine zentrale Stelle für das Skript laufen wir aber auf ein unwartbaren Wust hinaus. Dazu auch meine Mail auf maps-l. --Kolossos 09:20, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Bin kein Programmierer, aber wenn ich dich richtig verstehe soll die Änderung der .js hier auf meta nur zur Verlinkung für andere Projekte dienen? --WizardOfOz ^talk 15:00, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Die anderen Projekte binden mit "importScriptURI" das hier zentral liegende Javascript dann ein und es wird auf Clientseite ausgeführt. Aus meiner Sicht ein klassischer Fall einer Meta- bzw. Koordinierungsebene. --Kolossos 15:55, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

OK jetzt check ich es :) Hast das script fertig oder mußt noch daran herumwerkeln? Wenn ja könnte es einer von uns einfügen, wenn noch arbeit dran ist, dann ist sysop nötig und du hast meine Stimme. --WizardOfOz ^talk 16:11, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Ja, mein Skript unter de:Benutzer:Kolossos/Gadget-OSM.js ist soweit fertig und abgesehen von den 2 Variablen zur Lokalisierung ja auch schon lang genug getestet. Ein kopieren auf MediaWiki:OSM.js würde schon mal helfen den Wildwuchs einzudämmen. --Kolossos 16:31, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Done eingefügt, schau es dir mal an ob ich was zu viel kopiert habe , oder ob ich was ausgelassen habe. Bitte testen ob import funzt, ansonsten auf der talkpage änderung vorschlagen oder löschung (falls es nicht hinhauen sollte) Gruß --WizardOfOz ^talk 16:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Danke, funktioniert. --Kolossos 06:31, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Falls eine Änderung kommt, einfach anschreiben oder die mailfunktion benutzen. Gruß --WizardOfOz ^talk 18:45, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Da ich die nötigen Rechte nicht mehr habe, kann ich dir bezüglich osm.js nicht mehr helfen. Könntest eventuell einen anderen Sysop kontaktieren, oder nochmals um die temporäre Rechte ansuchen. Gruß --WizardOfOz ^talk 10:56, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Bitte die letzte Änderung kontrolieren, User:Savh hats gemacht. --WizardOfOz ^talk 11:21, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

OSM on nl.wikipedia.org

Hi Kolossos,

On nl.wikipedia.org I implemented by loading a script from Meta: User:Krinkle/OpenStreetMapFrame.js. It is not copied to nl.wikipedia.org like most people do, this way it stays up to date. Please let me know what you think should be updated there. –Krinkle^talk 21:21, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

By the way, I noticed that URLs like these contains all hardcoded paths like this:
<script src="http://toolserver.org/~osm/libs/jquery/latest/jquery-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I know that the recommended version of the script supports a &secure=1 parameter, but (aside from the fact that it doesn't work) I don't want to update all the scripts using that tool. You can simply fix this by using protocol-relative urls in the Toolserver output:
<script src="//toolserver.org/~osm/libs/jquery/latest/jquery-min.js"></script>
Or perhaps even omit the hostname all together and simply use a path-relative url (like osm already does for other scripts):
<script src="/~osm/libs/jquery/latest/jquery-min.js"></script>
This is supported in all major browsers going back to IE6, Chrome 1 and more. This may look strange, but it is a feature specifically for this very purpose. It is also used by MediaWiki and at Wikimedia to share cache between HTTP and HTTPS and to avoid having to maintain two interwiki databases (e.g. commons: is //commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/$1. –Krinkle^talk 21:52, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

We still have a problem with the subdomains we are using to delivering tiles:

• https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/OSM-11

If this is solved by a TS-admin, we can and will support https. I try to check the OSM-Gadget today at nl.wp, but I don't see the link to it. Do you know a reason?

Perhaps it's a idea to merge MediaWiki:OSM.js with your script. You check the ccase that osm don't exist on the moon (in the moment). User:Prolineserver works on a version that also works inside of lists: osm-2.0.js and it would be nice to have an re-sizeable iframe like WikiMiniAtlas. Also finding all coordinates in an article (clientside) and show them on the map is a nice feature of Wikiminiatlas, but seem to be a larger job.

BTW: Are you also active on en.wp? So it would be nice to see the OSM-Gadget at the Gadgets-list under preferences (as long it's not activated for all users). --Kolossos (talk) 16:57, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Superprotect letter update

Hi Kolossos,

Along with more hundreds of others, you recently signed Letter to Wikimedia Foundation: Superprotect and Media Viewer, which I wrote.

Today, we have 562 signatures here on Meta, and another 61 on change.org, for a total of 623 signatures. Volunteers have fully translated it into 16 languages, and begun other translations. This far exceeds my most optimistic hopes about how many might sign the letter -- I would have been pleased to gain 200 siguatures -- but new signatures continue to come.

I believe this is a significant moment for Wikimedia and Wikipedia. Very rarely have I seen large numbers of people from multiple language and project communities speak with a unified voice. As I understand it, we are unified in a desire for the Wikimedia Foundation to respect -- in actions, in addition to words -- the will of the community who has built the Wikimedia projects for the benefit of all humanity. I strongly believe it is possible to innovate and improve our software tools, together with the Wikimedia Foundation. But substantial changes are necessary in order for us to work together smoothly and productively. I believe this letter identifies important actions that will strongly support those changes.

Have you been discussing these issues in your local community? If so, I think we would all appreciate an update (on the letter's talk page) about how those discussions have gone, and what people are saying. If not, please be bold and start a discussoin on your Village Pump, or in any other venue your project uses -- and then leave a summary of what kind of response you get on the letter's talk page.

Finally, what do you think is the right time, and the right way, to deliver this letter? We could set a date, or establish a threshold of signatures. I have some ideas, but am open to suggestions.

Thank you for your engagement on this issue, and please stay in touch. -Pete F (talk) 18:54, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

The Community Wishlist Survey

Hi,

You get this message because you’ve previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey. I just wanted to let you know that this year’s survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until 11 November: Community Wishlist Survey 2019.

You can vote from November 16 to November 30. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won’t send out a separate reminder to you about that. /Johan (WMF) 11:25, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
