2016 WMF Strategy consultation
- Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen
Hello, all.
The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)
Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.
Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)
If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to mdennis@wikimedia.org.
I hope you'll join us! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery ✍ 20:06, 18. Jan. 2016 (CET)

Meta arbitration?
Hallo zusammen,
hier wird wieder einmal ein Vorschlag gemacht, um kleine Sprachprojekte zu schikanieren. Der Benutzer (ist auf cs.wikisource unbefristet gesperrt worden) hätte gerne ein Meta-Schiedsgericht, das über unbefristete Sperren in kleinen Sprachversionen richten soll und diese im Zweifelsfall dann natürlich auch aufheben kann.
Und hier läuft wieder einmal ein Vorschlag, den kleinen Sprachversionen die Bürokraten zu entziehen.
Gruß, --Holder ✍ 15:33, 26. Feb. 2016 (CET)
VisualEditor News #1—2016
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Did you know?
Among experienced editors, the visual editor's table editing is one of the most popular features.
If you select the top of a column or the end of a row, you can quickly insert and remove columns and rows.
Now, you can also rearrange columns and rows. Click "Move before" or "Move after" to swap the column or row with its neighbor.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.
Recent changes
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.
Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.
The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.
Future changes
The single edit tab project will combine the "Ännern" and "Bornkood ännern" tabs into a single "Ännern" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398) Initially, the "Ännern" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Grött vun’t Textfeld tab of Special:Preferences:
- Den zuletzt genutzten Editor merken und anbieten,
- Den visuellen Editor anbieten, falls möglich,
- Den Quelltext-Editor anbieten, and
- Beide Editoren anbieten. (This is the state for people using the visual editor now.)
The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. This will affect the following languages, amongst others: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic.
Let's work together
- Please try out the newest version of the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You may need to restore the default preferences (at the bottom of test2wiki:Special:Preferences) to see the initial prompt for options. Were you able to find a preference setting that will work for your own editing? Did you see the large preferences dialog box when you started editing an article there?
- Can you read and type in Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Indic, or Han scripts? Does typing in these languages feels natural in the visual editor? Language engineer David Chan needs to know. Please see the instructions at mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test if you can help. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org.
- Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Join the Tech Talk about "Automated citations in Wikipedia: Citoid and the technology behind it" with Sebastian Karcher on 29 February 2016.
If you aren't reading this in your favorite language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Danke!
Wikimania 2016: call for posters, discussions and trainings
Hi people,
the calls for posters, discussions and trainings for Wikimania 2016 are officially opened, you can find all the relevant links on the conference wiki:
https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions
The calls will be closed on March 20.
Posters will be reviewed just to make sure that there aren't things which are too much out of scope. Since we have a whole village we will surely find places to attach them, even if we they will be a lot!
Discussions will be managed by a guiding committee who will work on the wiki to meld all the proposals and suggestions.
Trainings will be reviewed by the programme committee. Please note that we request that each training has at least 3-5 interested attendees in order to be put in the programme.
By the beginning of April we will have a first list of all the accepted proposals.
If you have questions we suggest you to ask them on the discussion pages on wiki, so that everyone will be able to see them (and their answers, of course).
We are looking forward to read your ideas! --Yiyi ✍ 16:46, 29. Feb. 2016 (CET)
Completion suggestor
Updates to wiki search auto completion are arriving 10 March
Hello!
Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen. Danke!
The completion suggester beta feature will become the default at the first group of wikis on Thursday, 10 March. This initial rollout will start with some of the smaller wikis to ensure the change happens in an organized way. The remaining wikis will receive the update on Wednesday, 16 March. This update brings three major improvements to search. Improved search result ordering, a tolerance for a small number of spelling errors, and suggests fewer typos.
Since December 2015, 19,000 editors have already opted into the completion suggester beta feature. Contributors are encouraged to try out the feature ahead of the release. Please share any comments on the Completion Suggester discussion page in any language.
To learn more about the work of the Discovery department and other improvements to search, please check out the Wikimedia blog. Read about CirrusSearch, the MediaWiki extension that makes wiki search possible.WikiCon 2016

Server switch 2016
The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its newest data center in Dallas. This will make sure Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic to the new data center on Tuesday, 19 April.
On Thursday, 21 April, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for approximately 15 to 30 minutes on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).
If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped.
Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- There will be a code freeze for the week of 18 April.
No non-essential code deployments will take place.
This test was originally planned to take place on March 22. April 19th and 21st are the new dates. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. They will post any changes on that schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 23:08, 17. Apr. 2016 (CEST)

Fragen dazu kannst du auf der Klönschnackseite (w:de:Wikipedia Diskussion:WikiProjekt Flensburg) oder auf der Diskussionsseite der Projektseite w:de:Wikipedia:WikiProjekt Flensburg/Treffen stellen.

Wo schrievt man dat: Siet oder Sied?
Is dat Sied-Sieden (liek as in Nedderlannsch un Neddersassisch) oder Siet-Sieden (liek as in Düütsch)? Ik süh beide op dit Wiki (t.B. ok in Systemnarichten). Un schrievst Nedderlannsch oder Nedderlandsch, in dit Artikel schrievst beide dör nanner. Servien ✍ 00:10, 17. Mai 2016 (CEST)
- Hoochdüütsch „Seite“ is op platt Siet, Mehrtall: Sieden; hoodüütsch „Seide“ is op platt Sied – so steiht dat in'n Sass, und so harr ik dat sülvst ok schreven… Gifft aver seker ok Lüüd ut annere Rebeden, de Sied, Sieden schrieven doot. --Iwoelbern ✍ 13:42, 19. Mai 2016 (CEST)
- Okay, düdelk. Un bruukst du in heel Noorddüütschland Sass, oder sünd dor noch annere Schrievwiesen för sekere Rebeden? Un weetst du ok woför Nedderlannsch un Nedderlandsch, in dit Artikel dör nanner schreven warrt? Servien ✍ 23:41, 19. Mai 2016 (CEST)
- Ik nehm an, dat dor verschedene Schrievers an arbeit hebbt, de ünnerscheedliche Schrievwiesen bruken doot. Dat gifft jo för Plattdüütsch keen echte Rechtschrievregeln… An sik schüll dat in jedeen Artikel eenheitlich wesen, aver dor kiekt nich jeedeen na – ik sülvst faken ok nich… To bedüden hett dat aver nix. --Iwoelbern ✍ 00:13, 20. Mai 2016 (CEST)
- Ok Sass gifft mitünner verschedene Schrievwiesen un Wöör an. In disse Fall nich, aver ik weet nich, wat dat wat to bedüden hett. Ik vermoodt, dat de Schrievwies vör allen in (Noord)-Neddersassen begäng is. --Iwoelbern ✍ 00:22, 20. Mai 2016 (CEST)
- De Ünnerscheed kummt (hett Iwoelbern ja al seggt) ut de Sass’sche Schrievwies (in’n Artikel de Regel 12). Disse Regel hett den Achtergrund, dat Johannes Sass 1935 meent hett, dat de Lüüd dat Schrieven lichter fallt, wenn de plattdüütschen Wöör jüsto schreven warrt as op Hoochdüütsch. (In de Utspraak maakt dat keen Ünnerscheed.)
- Gefallen deit mi de Regel nich (un ik holl mi dor ok faken nich an), denn de Regel sett al vörut, dat du Hoochdüütsch schrieven können muttst, bevör du Plattdüütsch schrieven kannst. Un mit de Etymologie hett de Regel ok nix to doon.
- Un besünners komisch warrt dat, wenn du nich blots op dat Küstenplatt kickst. Wieder in’n Süden fallt dat -e an’t Enn nich weg. De seggt Siede oder Sie’e. Aver wiss nich Siete.
- To dat Nedderlandsch/Nedderlannsch. Utspraken warrt dat bi mi tohuus Nedderlannsch. Jüstso Hollannsch, butenlannsch etc. Aver mi dücht dat beter, de Etymologie dorbi en beten to wohren un Nedderlandsch/Hollandsch/butenlandsch to schrieven. In de Utspraak maakt dat keen groten Ünnerscheed. Is aver allens en Fraag von de persönliche Schrievwies. --::Slomox:: >< 08:03, 23. Mai 2016 (CEST)
- Bedankt för de Reakschoon, Dat is seker komisch, de Regel is ok heel nich logisch. So war dat ok in Middelsassisch nich schreven. Dat mit -d- hebbt wi ja ok in Nedderlandsch-Neddersassisch, wi seggt Nederlaans aver wi schrievt meesttieds Nederlaands (op etymologische Grund). Servien ✍ 00:08, 24. Mai 2016 (CEST)

Compact Links coming soon to this wiki
Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen
Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki which you may seen already in the Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the soon for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.
Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. The main announcement can also be translated on this page. Thank you. On behalf of the Wikimedia Language team: Runa Bhattacharjee (WMF) (talk)-15:06, 29. Jun. 2016 (CEST)
Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today
Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen
Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.
From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages
The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Wikipedia to the Moon: invitation to edit
Three weeks ago, you were invited to vote on how to take Wikipedia articles to the Moon. Community voting is over and the winning idea is to send all ‘’featured articles and lists’’ to the Moon. This decision means that, starting today, Wikipedians from all language communities are warmly invited to intensively work on their best articles and lists, and submit them to Wikipedia to the Moon. The central site to coordinate between communities will be Meta-Wiki. You will find an overview and more information there. Hopefully, we will be able to represent as many languages as possible, to show Wikipedia’s diversity. Please feel kindly invited to edit on behalf of your community and tell us about your work on featured content!

Editing News #2—2016
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
It's quick and easy to insert a references list.
Place the cursor where you want to display the references list (usually at the bottom of the page). Open the "Infögen" menu and click the "Liest vun Enkelnawiesen" icon (three books).
If you are using several groups of references, which is relatively rare, you will have the opportunity to specify the group. If you do that, then only the references that belong to the specified group will be displayed in this list of references. Finally, click "Infögen" in the dialog to insert the Liest vun Enkelnawiesen. This list will change as you add more footnotes to the page.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.
Recent changes
The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.
The single edit tab feature combines the "Ännern" and "Bornkood ännern" tabs into a single "Ännern" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Grött vun’t Textfeld" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.
Future changes
The "Siet spiekern" button will say "Siet nee afspiekern". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.
The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966)
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

WICHTIG: Review der Administratorenaktivität
Hallo. Vor kurzem wurde durch einen globalen Konsens der Community eine neue Vorgehensweise im Hinblick auf den Entzug der erweiterten Rechte (Administrator, Bürokrat etc.) beschlossen (diese Community erhielt einen Hinweis auf die laufende Diskussion). Auf der Grundlage der neuen Regeln werden die Stewards die Aktivitäten der Administratoren in kleineren Wikis einem Review unterziehen. So weit uns bekannt ist, gibt es in diesem Wiki keinen formalen Prozess für den Entzug der erweiterten Rechte bei inaktiven Accounts. Dies bedeutet, dass die Stewards dies auf der Basis des neuen Reviews der Administratorenaktivität erledigen werden.
Wir haben festgestellt, dass die folgenden Benutzer nach den festgelegten Kriterien (keine Bearbeitungen und keine Log-Einträge für mehr als zwei Jahre) als inaktiv einzustufen sind:
- TheK (Administrator)
Wir werden diesen Benutzern in der nächsten Zeit eine Nachricht zukommen lassen, in der wir sie dazu auffordern, eine öffentliche Diskussion zu eröffnen, wenn sie einige oder alle ihrer Rechte behalten möchten. Erfolgt darauf keine Antwort, werden die erweiterten Rechte von den Stewards entzogen.
Für jedes Wikimedia-Wiki besteht davon abgesehen die Möglichkeit, ein eigenes Review-Verfahren einzurichten, das das globale Verfahren auf lokaler Ebene ersetzt. Ebenso ist es möglich, völlig andere Regeln in Bezug auf inaktive Benutzer mit erweiterten Rechten festzulegen. Möglicherweise existieren bereits diesbezügliche Regeln, die wir übersehen haben. Bitte benachrichtigt in jedem Fall die Stewards auf Meta, wenn wir auf eurem Wiki nicht den globalen Review-Prozess anwenden sollen. Danke, Rschen7754 08:51, 14. Jul. 2016 (CEST)

Save/Publish
The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Siet spiekern” button to “Siet nee afspiekern” and “Ännerte Siet afspiekern”. “Siet nee afspiekern” will be used when you create a new page. “Ännerte Siet afspiekern” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[3][4]
This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.
If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for “Siet nee afspiekern” and “Ännerte Siet afspiekern”.
The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that “Siet spiekern” would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “Siet spiekern” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem.
Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise.
Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes {{int:Publishpage}} and {{int:Publishchanges}} to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in your account preferences, these wikitext codes produce “Siet nee afspiekern” and “Ännerte Siet afspiekern”.
Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.
Wikipedia to the Moon working phase
Dear Plattdüütsch Wikipedia language community,
First of all, I am sorry to write this in English.
You may already have heard about Wikipedia to the Moon: A team of scientists called the “PT Scientists” are going to send a space craft to the moon in 2017 and they want to take Wikipedia along with them. Because Wikipedia is so big, we cannot send all of it to the moon. That is why the international Wikipedia-community has voted to send all “Featured Articles and Featured Lists“ from all languages in Wikipedia.
“Featured Articles“ is a category in many language versions of Wikipedia that collects the very best articles in that language. Your community does not currently have a „Featured Articles“ category. Ideally, we want to take every language on Wikipedia to the moon and we also want to take the best articles in your language. That is why we would like you to tell us what the very best articles in your language are.
There are two ways you could do this:
- 1) You could introduce the categories “Featured Article” and “Featured List” in your language version of Wikipedia and vote for the best articles and put them in the category. We will take every article that is tagged as a “Featured Article” or a “Featured List” to the moon
- 2) You could vote for the best articles in your language version of Wikipedia and put them all on one a new Wikipedia page. If you let us know where we can find that list here, we will also take the articles to the moon.
The deadline for Wikipedia to the Moon is 31 October 2016. After that date, we will put all the Featured Articles and Lists onto a special disc and give it to the “PT Scientists.” They will take the Wikipedia articles into space next year.

Söhns un Döchter vun de Stadt via Wikidata/Listeriabot
Moin,
es gibt eine Reihe von Daten, die inzwischen in Wikidata recht gut abgelegt sind und m.E. dort auch am besten aufgehoben sind. Z.B. die Geburtsdaten von Personen, aus denen man die Listen "Söhns un Döchter vun ..." in Artikeln befüllen kann. Mit Listerabot gibt es auch den entsprechenden Automatiscmus zur Pflege dieser Listen. Aber natürlich ist es immer eine Abwägungsentscheidung, ob eine Teil im Artikel von einem Bot besser gepflegt ist, als von uns. Es gibt diverse Einschränkungen, bzgl Layoutfreiheiten und Pflege/Benachrichtigungen der Artikel. In der deutschen Wikipedia gibt es immer wieder spannende Diskussionen, die bisher allerdings immer (weitgehend) negativ bzgl der Nutzung von WD-Daten im Artikel-Namensraum ausgegangen sind. Hier in der Plattdeutschen Wikipedia, haben wir aber besonders die Heruasforderung, dass wir mit unseren weit weniger Autoren auch nicht so viel Möglichkeiten haben alles abzudecken und vor allem zu pflegen. Das gleiche gilt übrigens für die Catalanische die stark von der sehr guten Erfassung z.B. von kommunalen Daten in Wikidata zusammen mit der kastilischen (Spanischen) Wikipedia profitiert, ohne dort alles noch mal pflegen zu müssen. Der größte Nachteil ist m.E. dass man die Änderungen am WD-Objekt verfolgen muss. Aber der Benefit überwiegt m.E. für die "kleine" Catalanische Schwester. Die wird weitgehend über Vorlagen gelöst.
Ich habe mich mehr mit Listen auseinandergesetzt, die teilweise über mehr oder wenige komplexe Queries formuliert werden aber dann recht einfach umfangreiche Listen erzeugen können. Diese Listen werden durch Listeriabot aktualisiert. Änderungen sind damit eigentlich nur über die Formulierung der Query, den Daten in Wikidata und der Listenformatierungsregeln möglich. Manuelle inhaltliche Änderungen in der Liste, gehen durch das nächste Update von Listeriabot verloren. Aber der eigentliche Nachteil liegt darin, dass es Listeriabot nur eine Liste pro Artikel pflegt und ich auch nicht so glücklich war, den eigentlichen Artikeltext drumherum zu pfelgen.
Mit Gemeen Buxthu/Söhns un Döchter habe ich allerdings einen, glaube ich, ganz gangbaren Kompromiss gefunden. Diese Unterseite kann voll und ganz von Listeriabot gepflegt und in den Gemeen Buxthu#Söhns un Döchter vun de Stadt eingebunden.
1. Der Ortsartikel bindet nur die Unterseite ein:
==Söhns un Döchter vun de Stadt==
{{:{{PAGENAME}}/Söhns un Döchter}}
2. Die Unterseite besteht im Kern aus der Query (Geboren in administrativen Untereinheiten von Buxtehude) und der Listendefinition
{{Wikidata list
|sparql=SELECT ?item WHERE { ?item wdt:P19 ?sub0 . ?tree0 (wdt:P150)* ?sub0 . ?tree0 (wdt:P131)* wd:Q14868 .}
|sort=p569
|columns=item,label,p31,p18,p569,p19,p570,p20,p227,p106
|row_template=Vörlaag:Person Row
|skip_table=yes
}}
3. Die Listeneinträge werden mit der Vörlaag:Person Row ausgegeben.
Man könnte die noch bestehenden unschönen Kleinigkeiten (blaue Linien, Bot-Hinweise und auf den einbindenen Seit nich funktionierenden Aktualisierungslinks) evtl noch beheben, aber ich würde gern mal Feedback haben, ob das wertvoll ist und eine breiter Nutzung in dieser Form mit (Bot-)Unterseiten gewünscht ist. Alternativ kann man auch mit Arbeitslisten im Benutzernamensraum arbeiten und die Listen im Artikel manuell rüberkopieren oder nachpflegen (siehe Bruker:Aeroid/List DE NI-STD Person), das ist aber keine wirkliche Erleichterung für eine kleine Autorengruppe.
Weitere Anwendungsfälle wären jegliche (nicht-hierachische) Listen von Objekten in einem Artikel (ehemalige selbstständige Gemeinden eines Landkreises, Landkreise/Ämter einer Provinz, ...)
Also Feedback willkommen. --Aeroid ✍ 12:07, 3. Sep. 2016 (CEST)
- Für mich ist das definitiv nichts. Liegt aber daran, dass ich technisch eher unbegabt bin. Eastfrisian ✍ 19:06, 3. Sep. 2016 (CEST)
Ich habe es heute mal auf Gemeen Töst und Bookholt ausgeweitet, um mehr Feedback zu bekommen, belasse es aber erstmal dabei um es nicht zu übertreiben. Beide hatten bisher keinen Abschnitt Söhns un Döchter vun de Stadt.--Aeroid ✍ 16:28, 11. Okt 2016 (CEST)

Tipp: Übersetzen nach Platt
Moin,
Ich wollte nur mal kurz auf das Helferlein "Übersetzungen" hinweisen. Es taucht zumindest bei mir unter "Mien Arbeid" auf. Neben der Side-by-Side-View und der leichten Übernahme von Bildern, Links etc. aus anderen Wikipedias, sorgt es auch automatisch für die Verlinkung mit den den korrespondierenden Artikeln über Wikidata. Letzteres wird häufig vergessen und dann tauchen die tollen neuen Artikel in der leider auch etwas unzuverlässigen Wartungsliste Nicht verbundene Seiten auf.--Aeroid ✍ 11:50, 15. Okt 2016 (CEST)
Editing News #3—2016
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Select a cell in the column or row that you want to move. Click the arrow at the start of that row or column to open the dropdown menu (shown). Choose either "Move before" or "Move after" to move the column, or "Move above" or "Move below" to move the row.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.
Recent changes
- You can now set text as small or big.[5]
- Invisible templates have been shown as a puzzle icon. Now, the name of the invisible template is displayed next to the puzzle icon.[6] A similar feature will display the first part of hidden HTML comments.[7]
- Categories are displayed at the bottom of each page. If you click on the categories, the dialog for editing categories will open.[8]
- At many wikis, you can now add maps to pages. Go to the Insert menu and choose the "Maps" item. The Discovery department is adding more features to this area, like geoshapes. You can read more at mediawiki.org.[9]
- The "Save" button now says "Save page" when you create a page, and "Save changes" when you change an existing page.[10] In the future, the "Siet spiekern" button will say "Siet nee afspiekern". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
- Image galleries now use a visual mode for editing. You can see thumbnails of the images, add new files, remove unwanted images, rearrange the images by dragging and dropping, and add captions for each image. Use the "Options" tab to set the gallery's display mode, image sizes, and add a title for the gallery.[11]
Future changes
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic.
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.
Let's work together
- Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.

We are having a problem with attackers taking over wiki accounts with privileged user rights (for example, admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, checkusers). It appears that this may be because of weak or reused passwords.
Community members are working along with members of multiple teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address this issue.
In the meantime, we ask that everyone takes a look at the passwords they have chosen for their wiki accounts. If you know that you've chosen a weak password, or if you've chosen a password that you are using somewhere else, please change those passwords.

New way to edit wikitext
Summary: There's a new opt-in Beta Feature of a wikitext mode for the visual editor. Please go try it out.
We in the Wikimedia Foundation's Editing department are responsible for making editing better for all our editors, new and experienced alike. We've been slowly improving the visual editor based on feedback, user tests, and feature requests. However, that doesn't work for all our user needs: whether you need to edit a wikitext talk page, create a template, or fix some broken reference syntax, sometimes you need to use wikitext, and many experienced editors prefer it.
Consequently, we've planned a "wikitext mode" for the visual editor for a long time. It provides as much of the visual editor's features as possible, for those times that you need or want wikitext. It has the same user interface as the visual editor, including the same toolbar across the top with the same buttons. It provides access to the citoid service for formatting citations, integrated search options for inserting images, and the ability to add new templates in a simple dialog. Like in the visual editor, if you paste in formatted text copied from another page, then formatting (such as bolding) will automatically be converted into wikitext.
All wikis now have access to this mode as a Beta Feature. When enabled, it replaces your existing wikitext editor everywhere. If you don't like it, you can reverse this at any time by turning off the Beta Feature in your preferences. We don't want to surprise anyone, so it's strictly an opt-in-only Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "Automatisch die meisten Beta-Funktionen aktivieren".
The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the current wikitext editor). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and vice versa), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work with both editors. We're not planning to get rid of the current main wikitext editor on desktop in the foreseeable future. We're also not going to remove the existing ability to edit plain wikitext without JavaScript. Finally, though it should go without saying, if you prefer to continue using the current wikitext editor, then you may so do.
This is an early version, and we'd love to know what you think so we can make it better. Please leave feedback about the new mode on the feedback page. You may write comments in any language. Thank you.
