कामाची पावती

हल्ली कोणी कोणाला असे बार्नस्टार देताना फारसे दिसत नाहीत. पण आपण अल्पावधीत केलेल्या कामाबद्दल हा स्टार. बॉट कसा वापरावा हे तुमच्याकडून शिकण्यासारखे आहे. दुसरे वैशिष्ट्य म्हणजे आपण सामान्य सदस्यांचे ऐकता, कंपूबाजी न करता त्यांना विश्वासात घेता, विचारलेल्या प्रश्नांची प्रामाणिक उत्तरे देता हे सर्व माझ्यासाठी फार महत्त्वाचे आहे.

शुद्धिचिकित्सक बॉटसाठी

@Shantanuo: खूप खूप धन्यवाद. पण botचा जवळपास ९८% code आधीच तयार होता, त्यात मी फक्त २% वाढवला आणि खरं तर मराठी विकिपीडियावर bot ची केवळ तांत्रिक प्रोग्रामिंग मी केली, त्यातील जास्तीत जास्त शब्द तुम्हीच सुचवले. ह्याव्यतिरिक तांत्रिकदृष्ट्यासुद्धा तुम्ही खूप मदत केली. मी काही दिवसांपूर्वीच तुम्हाला औपचारिकरीत्या धन्यवाद म्हणणार होतो, पण राहून गेलं. मी त्यामध्ये तुम्ही म्ह्टल्याप्रमाणेच म्हणणार होतो कि स्वतःचा काही फायदा/हेतू नसतानासुद्धा तुम्ही भरपूर मदत केलीत. ह्याचा मी खूप आदर करतो.

मी मराठी विकिपीडियावर सक्रियरित्या कार्यरत नसलो तरी गेल्या २-३ वर्षांपासून मी mrwiki बघतोय. सध्या हेतू नसताना कार्य करणारे केवळ १० ते १५ संपादक आहेत, पण ते किती दिवस टिकतील त्याचा नेम नाही.

विकिपीडिया हा आपल्या सगळ्यांचाच आहे. मला वाटते त्यामध्ये कंपूबाजी नसावी. पारदर्शकता खूप महत्वाची आहे. तुमच्या मदतीसाठी पुन्हा एकदा आभार. —usernamekiran (talk) १५:१०, ५ एप्रिल २०२२ (IST)

Request to move (or delete) a page

I don't know where to request this on mrwiki, so asking you for help. The article लोकेनाथ is not the correct name of the subject. It is लोकनाथ and should be moved to that title. Alternatively, it may be just deleted because it doesn't have any article content at all. Thanks! CX Zoom (चर्चा) १६:०९, १३ जुलै २०२२ (IST)

Tech News: 2023-44

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 Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving UploadWizard on Commons, made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work (T347590), as well as to the licensing step for own work (T347756).
• The Design Systems team has released version 1.0.0 of Codex, the new design system for Wikimedia. See the full announcement about the release of Codex 1.0.0.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
• Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [४][५]
• Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [६]

Future changes

• There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
• The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.

प्रकल्प पृष्ठ येथे उपलब्ध आहे. आपण ही स्पर्धा जिंकल्यास आपण विकिपीडिया आशियाई दूत घोषित होऊन तुम्हाला सही केलेले प्रमाणपत्र मिळेल व एक अधिक पोस्टकार्ड मिळेल तसेच डिजीटल बार्नस्टार देखील प्राप्त करू शकता. अधिक माहितीसाठी प्रकल्प पृष्ठ तपासा. येथे आपली नोंदणी करा आणि हा दुवा वापरून आपला लेख सादर करा.

जर तुम्हाला कोणत्या मदतीची आवश्यकता असेल तर स्थानिक आयोजक संतोष गोरे , संदेश हिवाळे किंवा टायविन यांना संपर्क करावा.

हा संदेश विकिपीडिया मदत चमू करिता विकिपीडिया:एकगठ्ठा संदेश प्रणाली सुविधा वापरून मराठी विकिपीडिया प्रचालकांमार्फत पाठविला गेला असण्याची संभावना आहे.

Tech News: 2023-46

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

• Four new wikis have been created:
  • a Wikipedia in Moroccan Amazigh (w:zgh:) [११]
  • a Wikipedia in Dagaare (w:dga:) [१२]
  • a Wikipedia in Toba Batak (w:bbc:) [१३]
  • a Wikiquote in Banjar (q:bjn:) [१४]

Problems

• Last week, users who previously visited Meta-Wiki or Wikimedia Commons and then became logged out on those wikis could not log in again. The problem is now resolved. [१५]
• Last week, some pop-up dialogs and menus were shown with the wrong font size. The problem is now resolved. [१६]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 November. It will be on all wikis from 16 November (calendar).

Future changes

• Reference Previews are coming to many wikis as a default feature. They are popups for references, similar to the PagePreviews feature. You can opt out of seeing them. If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews. Deployment is planned for November 22, 2023.
• Canary (also known as heartbeat) events will be produced into Wikimedia event streams from December 11. Streams users are advised to filter out these events, by discarding all events where meta.domain == "canary". Updates to Pywikibot or wikimedia-streams will discard these events by default. [१७]

The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings. [६६][६७]

• Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [११५][११६]
• Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [११७]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (calendar). [११८][११९]

Tech News: 2024-16

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [१२१][१२२]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [१२३][१२४]
• Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [१२५]
• A new variable page_last_edit_age will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [१२६]

Future changes

• Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
• Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filter and abuse_filter_history tables. Some queries might need to be updated. [१२७]

Recent changes

• Starting this week, newcomers editing Wikipedia will be encouraged to try structured tasks. Structured tasks have been shown to improve newcomer activation and retention. [१२८]
• You can nominate your favorite tools for the fifth edition of the Coolest Tool Award. Nominations will be open until May 10.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 April. It will be on all wikis from 25 April (calendar). [१२९][१३०]

Future changes

• This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of विशेष:माझे पान/vector.js to विशेष:माझे पान/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [१३१]
