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)

Hi all!

The community vote of this year's Board Elections are close. As always voter mails will be sent out. To invite as many community members as possible in their native tongue your help is very much appreciated. While there are already plenty of translations we would appreciate you to check for languages still missing and to contribute translations for these.

The mails are short, just a bit about two times 200 words, a few minutes of work.

Your support is very important as it helps communities to learn about the election and to cast their vote.

Best, Denis Barthel (WMF)

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

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2023.

Recent changes

• On a user's contributions page, you can filter it for edits with a tag like 'reverted'. Now, you can also filter for all edits that are not tagged like that. This was part of a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [१३]
• A new function has been used for gadget developers to add content underneath the title on article pages. This is considered a stable API that should work across all skins. Documentation is available. [१४]
• One of our test wikis is now being served from a new infrastructure powered by Kubernetes (read more). More Wikis will switch to this new infrastructure in early 2023. Please test and let us know of any issues. [१५]

Problems

• Last week, all wikis had no edit access for 9 minutes. This was caused by a database problem. [१६]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
• The word "Reply" is very short in some languages, such as Arabic ("ردّ"). This makes the Discussion tools button on talk pages difficult to use. An arrow icon will be added to those languages. This will only be visible to editors who have the Beta Feature turned on. [१७] [१८]

Future changes

• Edits can be automatically "tagged" by the system software or the संपादन गाळणी व्यवस्थापन system. Those tags link to a help page about the tags. Soon they will also link to Recent Changes to let you see other edits tagged this way. This was a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [१९]
• The Trust & Safety tools team have shared new plans for building the Private Incident Reporting System. The system will make it easier for editors to ask for help if they are harassed or abused.
• Realtime Preview for Wikitext is coming out of beta as an enabled feature for every user of the 2010 Wikitext editor in the week of January 9, 2023. It will be available to use via the toolbar in the 2010 Wikitext editor. The feature was the 4th most popular wish of the Community Wishlist Survey 2021.

Events

• You can now register for the Wikimedia Hackathon 2023, taking place on May 19–21 in Athens, Greece. You can also apply for a scholarship until January 14th.

जावद रमदानी

Hi Usernamekiran, sorry for writing in English. I wanted to mark जावद रमदानी for deletion as this page is crosswiki spam / fake, see e.g. [२०][२१] (I can provide more links if you want). Unfortunately an abuse filter told me to consider not posting the deletion request as community consensus is against SMWT Members being active on your wiki.

Could you take a look at this and either delete the page or create a deletion request yourself? Thanks and best regards --Johannnes89 (चर्चा) १८:४६, ८ जानेवारी २०२३ (IST)

@Johannnes89: deleted, and salted. Thanks for the heads-up. —usernamekiran (talk) २०:३८, ८ जानेवारी २०२३ (IST)

Recent changes

• You can use tags to filter edits in the recent changes feed or on your watchlist. You can now use tags to filter out edits you don't want to see. Previously you could only use tags to focus on the edits with those tags. [२२]
• Special:WhatLinksHere shows all pages that link to a specific page. There is now a prototype for how to sort those pages alphabetically. You can see the discussion in the Phabricator ticket.
• You can now use the thanks function on your watchlist and the user contribution page. [२३]
• A wiki page can be moved to give it a new name. You can now get a dropdown menu with common reasons when you move a page. This is so you don't have to write the explanation every time. [२४]
• Matrix is a chat tool. You can now use matrix: to create Matrix links on wiki pages. [२५]
• You can filter out translations when you look at the recent changes on multilingual wikis. This didn't hide translation pages. You can now also hide subpages which are translation pages. [२६]

Changes later this week

• Realtime preview for wikitext is a tool which lets editors preview the page when they edit wikitext. It will be enabled for all users of the 2010 wikitext editor. You will find it in the editor toolbar.
• Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on 10 January at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis) and on 12 January at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis).
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 January. It will be on all wikis from 12 January (calendar).

Problems

• The URLs in "मागील" links on page history now contain diff=prev&oldid=[revision ID] in place of diff=[revision ID]&oldid=[revision ID]. This is to fix a problem with links pointing to incorrect diffs when history was filtered by a tag. Some user scripts may break as a result of this change. [२७]

Changes later this week

• Some changes to the appearance of talk pages have only been available on चर्चा: and सदस्य चर्चा: namespaces. These will be extended to other talk namespaces, such as विकिपीडिया चर्चा:. They will continue to be unavailable in non-talk namespaces, including विकिपीडिया: pages (e.g., at the Village Pump). You can change your preferences (beta feature). [२८]
• On Wikisources, when an image is zoomed or panned in the Page: namespace, the same zoom and pan settings will be remembered for all Page: namespace pages that are linked to a particular Index: namespace page. [२९]
• The Vector 2022 skin will become the default for the English Wikipedia desktop users. The change will take place on January 18 at 15:00 UTC. Learn more.

If your wiki would prefer to do it yourselves, please see the details and example CSS to copy from, and also add your wiki to the list. Otherwise, the developers will directly help out starting the week of February 5.

• Across all the wikis, in the Vector 2022 skin, logged-in users will see the page-related links such as "What links here" in a new side menu. It will be displayed on the other side of the screen. This change had previously been made on Czech, English, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. [३६]
• Community Wishlist Survey 2023 will stop receiving new proposals on Monday, 6 February 2023, at 18:00 UTC. Proposers should complete any edits by then, to give time for translations and review. Voting will begin on Friday, 10 February.

Future changes

• Gadgets and user scripts will be changing to load on desktop and mobile sites. Previously they would only load on the desktop site. It is recommended that wiki administrators audit the gadget definitions prior to this change, and add skins=… for any gadgets which should not load on mobile. More details are available.

Gadgets and user scripts should now use jQuery hover() or on() instead. Examples can be found in the migration guide. [६६]
• Some of the links in विशेष:विशेष पाने will be re-arranged. There will be a clearer separation between links that relate to all users, and links related to your own user account. [६७]

Future changes

• The Vega software that creates data visualizations in pages, such as graphs, will be upgraded to the newest version in the future. Graphs that still use the very old version 1.5 syntax may stop working properly. Most existing uses have been found and updated, but you can help to check, and to update any local documentation. Examples of how to find and fix these graphs are available.

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

• Last week, Community Tech released the first update for providing better diffs, the #1 request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. This update adds legends and tooltips to inline diffs so that users unfamiliar with the blue and yellow highlights can better understand the type of edits made.
• When you close an image that is displayed via MediaViewer, it will now return to the wiki page instead of going back in your browser history. This feature request was voted #65 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [९३]
• The SyntaxHighlight extension now supports wikitext as a selected language. Old alternatives that were used to highlight wikitext, such as html5, moin, and html+handlebars, can now be replaced. [९४]
• Preloading text to new pages/sections now supports preloading from localized MediaWiki interface messages. Here is an example at the Czech Wikipedia that uses preload=MediaWiki:July. [९५]

Problems

• Graph Extension update: Foundation developers have completed upgrading the visualization software to Vega5. Existing community graphs based on Vega2 are no longer compatible. Communities need to update local graphs and templates, and shared lua modules like de:Modul:Graph. The Vega Porting guide provides the most comprehensive detail on migration from Vega2 and here is an example migration. Vega5 has currently just been enabled on mediawiki.org to provide a test environment for communities. [९६]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 May. It will be on all wikis from 11 May (calendar).
• Until now, all new OAuth apps went through manual review. Starting this week, apps using identification-only or basic authorizations will not require review. [९७]

Future changes

• During the next year, MediaWiki will stop using IP addresses to identify logged-out users, and will start automatically assigning unique temporary usernames. Read more at IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Updates. You can join the discussion about the format of the temporary usernames. [९८]
• There will be an A/B test on 10 Wikipedias where the Vector 2022 skin is the default skin. Half of logged-in desktop users will see an interface where the different parts of the page are more clearly separated. You can read more. [९९][१००]
• jquery.tipsy will be removed from the MediaWiki core. This will affect some user scripts. Many lines with .tipsy( can be commented out. OO.ui.PopupWidget can be used to keep things working like they are now. You can read more and read about how to find broken scripts. [१०१]
