== New user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS == |

|||
Hi all! |
|||
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like <code dir="ltr">MediaWiki:Common.css</code> and <code dir="ltr">MediaWiki:Vector.js</code> which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.) |
|||
A new user group, <code dir="ltr">[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Interface administrators|interface-admin]]</code>, has been created. |
|||
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with <code dir="ltr">.css</code> or <code dir="ltr">.js</code> that is either in the <code dir="ltr">MediaWiki:</code> namespace or is another user's user subpage). |
|||
You can learn more about the motivation behind the change [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS|here]]. |
|||
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). |
|||
This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment). |
|||
Thanks! |

The Wikimedia movement strategy core team and working groups have completed reviewing the more than 1800 thematic statements we received from the first discussion. They have identified 5 themes that were consistent across all the conversations - each with their own set of sub-themes. These are not the final themes, just an initial working draft of the core concepts.
You are invited to join the online and offline discussions taking place on these 5 themes. This round of discussions will take place between now and June 12th. You can discuss as many as you like; we ask you to participate in the ones that are most (or least) important to you.
Here are the five themes, each has a page on Meta-Wiki with more information about the theme and how to participate in that theme's discussion:
- Healthy, Inclusive Communities
- The Augmented Age
- A Truly Global Movement
- The Most Respected Source of Knowledge
- Engaging in the Knowledge Ecosystem
On the movement strategy portal on Meta-Wiki, you can find more information about each of these themes, their discussions, and how to participate.

New notification when a page is connected to Wikidata
Hello all,
(Please help translate to your language)
The Wikidata development team is about to deploy a new feature on all Wikipedias. It is a new type of notification (via Echo, the notification system you see at the top right of your wiki when you are logged in), that will inform the creator of a page, when this page is connected to a Wikidata item.
You may know that Wikidata provides a centralized system for all the interwikilinks. When a new page is created, it should be connected to the corresponding Wikidata item, by modifying this Wikidata item. With this new notification, editors creating pages will be informed when another editor connects this page to Wikidata.
This feature will be deployed on May 30th on all the Wikipedias, excepting English, French and German. This feature will be disable by default for existing editors, and enabled by default for new editors.
This is the first step of the deployments, the Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects will follow in the next months.
If you have any question, suggestion, please let me know by pinging me. You can also follow and leave a comment on the Phabricator ticket.
Thanks go to Matěj Suchánek who developed this feature!
Thank you! Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk)
Hi, you are invited to participate in the discussion on the proposal to make a banner through m: centralnotice to inform more people around the world about what the Turkish government has done about Wikipedia, ie all the language versions of Wikipedia are You are obscured, so in Turkey it is impossible to view the * .wikipedia.org site. To hope that the Turkish government will remove the block, it is necessary to raise awareness of this fact around the world because it is important to succeed in this mission because Wikipedia can not be seen in Turkey. With this message also for those interested, I invite him to sign the Wikimedian appeal.
If you have any questions or questions do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks best regards. --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 21:10, 22 Bealtaine 2017 (UTC)

Accessible editing buttons
You can see and use the old and new versions now. Most editors will only notice that some buttons are slightly larger and have different colors.
-
Buttons before the change
-
Buttons after the change
However, this change also affects some user scripts and gadgets. Unfortunately, some of them may not work well in the new system. If you maintain any user scripts or gadgets that are used for editing, please see mw:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons for information on how to test and fix your scripts. Outdated scripts can be tested and fixed now.
This change will probably reach this wiki on Tuesday, 18 July 2017. Please leave a note at mw:Talk:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons if you need help.Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 22:22, 10 Iúil 2017 (UTC)
Page Previews (Hovercards) update
Hello,
A quick update on the progress of enabling Page Previews (previously named Hovercards) on this project. Page Previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. As mentioned in December we're preparing to remove the feature from Beta and make it the default behavior for logged-out users. We have recently made a large update to the code which fixes most outstanding bugs.
Due to some issues with our instrumentation, we delayed our deployment by a few months. We are finally ready to deploy the feature. Page Previews will be off by default and available in the user preferences page for logged-in users the week of July 24th. The feature will be on by default for current beta users and logged-out users. If you would like to preview the feature, you can enable it as a beta feature. For more information see Page Previews. Questions can be left on the talk page in your preferred language.
Thank you again.

Catagóirí
Nuair a bhíonn sibh ag cruthú teideal nua, bígí cúramach leis an dá phointe seo:
1. Úsáidtear an uimhir uatha den aidiacht sa tuiseal ginideach nuair a bhíonn an t-ainmfhocal lag: Liosta galar aicídeach. Úsáidtear an t-iolra má bhíonn an t-ainmfhocal tréan: Liosta ionsaithe Ioslamacha. A plural noun in the genitive case is followed by the singular form of the adjective if the plural of the noun is weak; it is plural if the noun has a strong plural.
2. Ní bhíonn fáth ann de ghnáth an chéad fhocal i dteideal a shéimhiú: Galair aicídeacha, agus ní Ghalair aicídeacha. First letter of a noun in a title is not normally lenited.
Agus cé go dtuigeann sibh é seo, ní mhiste é a rá arís: Uimhir iolra i gcomhair ainm catagóra: Madraí, mar shampla; uimhir uatha i gcomhair ainm ailt: Madra. No harm in repeating: Plural for names of categories, singular for names of articles.
Cuir ceist má bhíonn teideal casta i gceist agaibh. Ask in case of complicated titles. SeoMac (plé) 17:28, 21 Iúil 2017 (UTC)
Improved search in deleted pages archive
Please help translate to your language
During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.
Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete
page, and add &fuzzy=1
to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).
We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki.
Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0
in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0
Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.

Clár dubh agus Article Placeholder
Dia duit! Is mise Rebecca Ní Neill, agus tá mé an Comhordaitheoir Tionscadail le Pobal Wikimedia Éireann. Maith dom mo droch-Gaeilge (agus ag úsaid Béarla!!), tá mé ag athfhoghlaim!
I have been working hard to promote the usage of Vicipéid with more Irish speakers, as well as those learning the language at 2nd and 3rd level. This generally involves holding workshops for interested people, like this event in DCU. From these events, many participants have enquired about having a Sandbox here on Vicipéid. I know there is a communal Clár dubh, but I would like to propose that we request that a personal Clár dubh for all users. Uicipeid (Scots Gaelic Wikipedia) recently rolled this out, and found it to be an invaluable for some more hesitant new editors.
Secondly, Wicipedia (the Welsh Wikipedia) has rolled out the use of Article Placeholder. This is a form of auto-generated article (which doesn't not look like a "real" article written by users), drawing on Wikidata to populate it. There is a blog post about the Welsh experience here. In particular, on Vicipéid it would prioritise information for which there is Irish content. This has two potential positives for our community:
- It will increase exposure of Wikidata to the Irish speaking community, encouraging contribution to this increasingly important element with Wikimedia.
- In relation to holding workshops with new editors, editing Wikidata is very simple, and quick edits to add Irish translations to Wikidata would immediately be reflected in the Article Placeholder article texts.
Gabh mo léithsceal arís go usáid Béarla, ach ceapaim go raibh an díospóireacht seo an-tábhachtach. An bhfuil aon mholtaí agaibh? Cad a cheapann sibh? Smirkybec (plé) 14:23, 28 Lúnasa 2017 (UTC)
- Go raibh maith agat as an teachtaireacht seo. Tá na smaointe seo agat an-suimiúil. Beidh mé ag smaoineamh orthu agus fágfaidh mé aisfhreagra níos déanaí. B'fhéidir go bhfuil rud éigin le rá ag daoine eile anseo freisin. I'll have more to say after I look over this, and others may have something to say also. SeoMac (plé) 21:22, 28 Lúnasa 2017 (UTC)
- Go raibh maith agat SeoMac, is mór agam do ama. Smirkybec (plé) 12:28, 29 Lúnasa 2017 (UTC)
- An bhfuil aon agóidí? Are there any issues with going ahead with these changes? Tá an Clár Dubh simplí chun cuir ar siúl, ach tá Article Placeholder beagán níos casta. An bhfuil sé ceart go leor tús a chur le himeachtaí? Go raibh maith agaibh! Smirkybec (plé) 13:10, 4 Deireadh Fómhair 2017 (UTC)
- GRMA as ucht an mholadh. Sílim gur smaoineamh maith é ach ceapaim go bhfuil sé tábhachtach go mbeadh an t-eolas agus na treoracha aistrithe go Gaeilge sula ndéanfaí beo é. Ní dóigh liom go mbreathnódh sé go maith ar chor ar bith dá mbeadh na 'placeholders' seo ag teacht aníos ar fud na Vicipéide agus iad (nó aon chuid daoibh) i mBéarla. Maidir leis an gclár dubh, an féidir an nasc "sandbox" a fheiceann chuile úsáideoir nuair atá siad logáilte isteach a aistriú go "clár dubh"? Tá cuntas agam ar translatewiki ach ní féidir liom teacht ar an áit a bhfuil an "sandbox" seo? (we really need to translate the "sandbox" text that appears on every user's menu to "clár dubh". Do you have any idea which project on translatewiki stores that string? I couldn't find it under Mediawiki? GRMA Nmacu (plé) 09:08, 7 Samhain 2017 (UTC)
- Tar éis dom súil a chaitheamh ar Wicipedia na Breatanaise, tá mé in amhras faoin tionscadal seo a chur i bhfeidhm ar an Vicipéid. Go teoiriciúil, is smaoineamh maith é ach go praiticiúil, an toradh a bheadh air ná go mbeadh go leor de na 'placeholders' seo á chruthú agus iad leath i nGaeilge agus leath i mBéarla - nó, sin mar atá sé faoi láthair tar éis dom sracfhéachaint a thabhairt do Wicipedia - féach mar shampla: [1]. Deirtear nach 'leathanaigh' cearta iad ach céard í an difríocht idir leathanach agus 'placeholder' don ghnáthléitheoir? Tagann siad aníos amhail is leathanaigh iad. Is oth liom a rá nach mbeinn i bhfábhar leathanaigh/placeholders mar seo a bheith curtha ar fáil go huathoibríoch ar an Vicipéid. Le dea-ghuí, Nmacu (plé) 09:10, 8 Samhain 2017 (UTC)
- Gabh mo leithscéal go raibh mé an-déanach freagra a thabhairt. I will get back onto the developers to make sure that it appears as "Clár Dubh" in the menu. Thanks very much for your thoughts on ArticlePlaceholder. It has some benefits, as editors making very small edits to Wikidata (adding Irish translations) can see their edits go "live" elsewhere. Although we may need to put in more thought/preparation into such a roll out if we got to a place where the Vicipéid community is happier with it as a tool. Go raibh míle maith agat! Smirkybec (plé) 13:47, 25 Eanáir 2018 (UTC)
RfC regarding "Interlinking of accounts involved with paid editing to decrease impersonation"
There is currently a RfC open on Meta regarding "requiring those involved with paid editing on Wikipedia to link on their user page to all other active accounts through which they advertise paid Wikipedia editing business."
Note this is to apply to Wikipedia and not necessarily other sister projects, this is only to apply to websites where people are specifically advertising that they will edit Wikipedia for pay and not any other personal, professional, or social media accounts a person may have.
Please comment on meta. Thanks. Send on behalf of User:Doc James.

Discussion on synced reading lists
Discussion on synced reading lists
Hello,
The Reading Infrastructure team at the Wikimedia Foundation is developing a cross-platform reading list service for the mobile Wikipedia app. Reading lists are like bookmark folders in your web browser. They allow readers using the Wikipedia app to bookmark pages into folders to read later. This includes reading offline. Reading lists do not create or alter content in any way.To create Reading Lists, app users will register an account and marked pages will be tied to that account. Reading List account preferences sync between devices. You can read the same pages on different mobile platforms (tablets, phones). This is the first time we are syncing preference data between devices in such a way. We want to hear and address concerns about privacy and data security. We also want to explain why the current watchlist system is not being adapted for this purpose.
Background
In 2016 the Android team replaced the simple Saved Pages feature with Reading Lists. Reading Lists allow users to bookmark pages into folders and for reading offline. The intent of this feature was to allow "syncing" of these lists for users with many devices. Due to overlap with the Gather feature and related community concerns, this part was put on hold.
The Android team has identified this lack of synching as a major area of complaint from users. They expect lists to sync. The iOS team has held off implementing Reading Lists, as syncing was seen as a "must have" for this feature. A recent technical RfC has allowed these user stories and needs to be unblocked. Initially for Android, then iOS, and with web to potentially follow.
Reading lists are private, stored as part of a user's account, not as a public wiki page. There is no sharing or publishing ability for reading lists. No planned work to make these public. The target audience are people that read Wikipedia and want to bookmark and organize that content in the app. There is a potential for the feature to be available on the web in the future.
Why not watchlists
Watchlists offer similar functionality to Reading Lists. The Reading Infrastructure team evaluated watchlist infrastructure before exploring other options. In general, the needs of watchlists differ from Reading Lists in a few key ways:
- Reading lists focus on Reading articles, not the monitoring of changes.
- Watchlists are focused on monitoring changes of pages/revisions.
- The Watchlist infrastructure is key to our contributor community for monitoring content changes manually and through the use of automated tools (bots). Because of these needs, expanding the scope of Watchlists to reading purposes will only make the project harder to maintain and add more constraints.
- By keeping the projects separate it is easier to scale resources. We can serve these two different audiences and prioritize the work accordingly. Reading Lists are, by their nature, less critical to the health of Wikipedia/MediaWiki.
- Multi-project support. Reading Lists are by design cross-wiki/project. Watchlists are tied to specific wikis. While there have been many discussion for making them cross-wiki, resolution is not in the near term.
More information can be found on MediaWiki.org where feedback and ideas are welcome.
Thank you

presenting the project Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory and asking for a vounteer in Gaeilge Wikipedia
Hello everyone,
My name is Marc Miquel and I am a researcher from Barcelona (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). While I was doing my PhD I studied whether an identity-based motivation could be important for editor participation and I analyzed content representing the editors' cultural context in 40 Wikipedia language editions. Few months later, I propose creating the Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory in order to raise awareness on Wikipedia’s current state of cultural diversity, providing datasets, visualizations and statistics, and pointing out solutions to improve intercultural coverage.
I am presenting this project to a grant and I expect that the site becomes a useful tool to help communities create more multicultural encyclopaedias and bridge the content culture gap that exists across language editions (one particular type of systemic bias). For instance, this would help spreading cultural content local to Gaeilge Wikipedia into the rest of Wikipedia language editions, and viceversa, make Gaeilge Wikipedia much more multicultural. Here is the link of the project proposal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikipedia_Cultural_Diversity_Observatory_(WCDO)
I am searching for a volunteer in each language community: I still need one for the Gaeilge Wikipedia. If you feel like it, you can contact me at: marcmiquel *at* gmail.com I need a contact in your every community who can (1) check the quality of the cultural context article list I generate to be imported-exported to other language editions, (2) test the interface/data visualizations in their language, and (3) communicate the existance of the tool/site when ready to the language community and especially to those editors involved in projects which could use it or be aligned with it. Communicating it might not be a lot of work, but it will surely have a greater impact if done in native language! :). If you like the project, I'd ask you to endorse it in the page I provided. In any case, I will appreciate any feedback, comments,... Thanks in advance for your time! Best regards, --Marcmiquel (plé) 22:29, 9 Deireadh Fómhair 2017 (UTC) Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
Aistriúchán ar an gcomhéadan
Tá sé tugtha faoi deara agam go bhfuil go leor Béarla ag teacht isteach ar an gcomhéadan. Tá sé seo ag tarlú is dóigh mar gheall ar leaganach nua de MediaWiki atá ag teacht i bhfeidhm. Tá logánú déanta agam ar cuid den téarmaíocht seo agus déanfaidh mé iarracht tuilleadh a dhéanamh de réir a chéile. Nuair a fheicim aon bhotún agus mé i mbun na hoibre seo, tá mé á gceartú. Má déanaim aon bhotún, maithigí dom iad. I gcás amháin, tá an téarma "dréacht" le haghaidh "contribution" athraithe go "iarracht", rud a cheapaim atá níos cruinne agus a sheachnaíonn débhríochas le "draft". Má tá aon mholadh ag éinne nó muna n-aontaíonn daoine leis na hathruithe seo, seol teachtaireacht chugam, agus beidh muid in ann rudaí a athrú ar ais nó teacht ar réiteach éigin. Tá mé chun leanacht orm muna gcloisim a mhalairt ó éinne, mar sílim go bhfuil sé níos fearr leagan Gaeilge de shaghas éigin a bheith ann seachas an Béarla faoi mar a sheasann sé. LDG, Nmacu (plé) 09:15, 7 Samhain 2017 (UTC)
Aistriúchán ar na Leathanaigh Speisialta
Tar éis dom go leor tóraíochta a dhéanamh thall ar translatewiki agus ar MediaWiki freisin, tá sé cinnte orm teacht ar eolas faoi cén chaoi leis na leathanaigh speisialta a aistriú. Bheinn buíoch as ucht aon eolas maidir le cén chaoi le tabhairt faoi? GRMA, Nmacu (plé) 14:28, 8 Samhain 2017 (UTC)

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.
Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.
For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.
The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.
Thank you!

User group for Military Historians
Greetings,
"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

Editing News #1—2018
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.
Recent changes
- The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
- The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges. [2]
- Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [3]
- The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up. Your wiki can have this service. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.
Let's work together
- The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
- Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
- The
<references />
block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki.

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review
- Sorry for posting in English. There's no Gaeilge translation. Please help translate to your language. Thank you.
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc. ) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):
- User:Tameamseo (last edit: 2015-01-13; last log action: 2013-11-25)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thank you. --MarcoAurelio (plé) 09:39, 11 Aibreán 2018 (UTC)
Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias
Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias
Please help translate to your language
Mapframe is a feature that enables users to easily display interactive maps right on wiki pages. Currently, most Wikipedias don’t have mapframe. But fifteen Wikipedias, along with all the other Wikimedia projects, are using mapframe today to display maps on thousands of pages.
A little background: over the last few months, the Foundation’s Collaboration team has been working to improve the stability and user experience of the maps service. In addition, a question about long-term support for the maps service was recently settled, and a small team has been assigned for routine maintenance. Given these developments, bringing the benefits of mapframe to Wikipedias that lack the feature seems both safe and supportable. Nine Wikipedias that use a stricter version of Flagged Revisions will not get mapframe in this release.
Maps are a valuable form of visual data that can improve readers’ understanding across a wide range of topics. If you know of any reasons why mapframe shouldn’t be implemented on your Wikipedia, let us know on the project talk page. Unless we hear from you, we plan to release mapframe to most Wikipedias in May, 2018. So, if you foresee an issue, please let us hear from you. Otherwise, happy mapping!

Update on page issues on mobile web
Update on page issues on mobile web
Please help translate to your language Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.
So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:
- The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
- Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
- Readers care about page issues and consider them important
- Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues
Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

Lua foilseachán/Citation tool
Dia dhuit a dhuine uasail! Mé féin arís! I am currently at the Celtic Knot conference, and we have been exploring the possibility of improving the citation tool here on Vicipéid. At the moment 2 editors are translating the two existing templates Teimpléad:Cite journal and Teimpléad:Lua idirlín as both book and news citations redirect to journal. If we enable the Citation tool on Vicipéid, it would make the process a lot easier if we had one translated template to use, and we are proposing to use what is currently called Cite journal. However, so that "Cite Journal" does not appear in the citation drop-down menu while editing on Vicipéid, we would like to move this template to a new one called Teimpléad:Lua foilseachán so that it is in Irish and will cover all forms of references. This means anyone who uses the cite journal template in Wiki markup it will still work. This should make citing on Vicipéid much easier, and will also be all as Gaeilge as well. This should be a very quick roll out, but obviously we did not want to make any decisions without the community! If anyone has any concerns, do let me know. Otherwise if there are no objections we will enable it. GRMA arís, agus tá brón orm Béarla a labhairt! Smirkybec (plé) 13:50, 6 Iúil 2018 (UTC)
- GRMA. Má thuigim é seo i gceart, is athrú maith a bheas ann. Tá fadhb agam le "Lua foilseachán". Is é an chiall atá leis ná "citation of publications". An modh ordaitheach atá i gceist, agus mar sin déarfainn gur "Luaigh foilseachán" a bheadh níos fearr ("Cite [a] publication"). The imperative is luaigh, not lua. (The Welsh and Breton projects are among those that leave the title of the template as "cite journal"--whatever appears on their interface--but I would like to see Irish.) I hope that makes sense.
- De réir dealraimh, tá ag éirí go maith libh ag Celtic Knot. GMMA. Trua nach raibh mé ábalta 'bheith i láthair. Bainigí sult agus tairbhe as! SeoMac (plé) 16:12, 6 Iúil 2018 (UTC)
- GRMA SeoMac! I really appreciate your feedback, and definitely would be happy to make that change to "Luaigh foilseachán". There is a hope that a Celtic Knot may be in Ireland - so hopefully we will be able to see you at one in the future. Do bear in mind there are usually scholarships to attend as well, if they are further afield :) GRMA arís! Smirkybec (plé) 00:00, 7 Iúil 2018 (UTC)
- Hello, I have now moved Teimpléad:Cite journal to Teimpléad:Luaigh foilseachán
- The Citation tool is enabled. The configuration messages are https://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Visualeditor-cite-tool-name-idirl%C3%ADn and https://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Visualeditor-cite-tool-name-foilseach%C3%A1n. Please let me know if those messages are okay and feel free to fix them if not appropriate. They appear in the Cite drop-down menu now.
- You can also change how the template parameters appear by modifying the template data in the page at Teimpléad:Luaigh foilseachán and Teimpléad:Lua_idirlín
- Please let me know if there are any issues with any of these changes. The next step if these are okay is to enable citoid. Mvolz (WMF) (plé) 14:53, 9 Iúil 2018 (UTC)

Consultation on the creation of a separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS
(Please help translate to your language)
Hi all,
I'm preparing a change in who can edit sitewide CSS/JS pages. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css
and MediaWiki:Vector.js
which are executed in the browser of all readers and editors.) Currently all administrators are able to edit these pages, which poses a serious and unnecessary security risk. Soon, a dedicated, smaller user group will take over this task. Your community will be able to decide who belongs in this group, so this should mean very little change for you. You can find out more and provide feedback at the consultation page on Meta. If you are involved in maintaining CSS/JS code, or policymaking around adminship requests, please give it a look!
Thanks!

New user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS
(Please help translate to your language)
Hi all!
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css
and MediaWiki:Vector.js
which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.)
A new user group, interface-admin
, has been created.
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css
or .js
that is either in the MediaWiki:
namespace or is another user's user subpage).
You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).
Thanks!
