Recent changes

• You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser use very old TLS. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It can lead to downgrade attacks. Since 9 December you just see a warning. Soon the browser will not connect to the wikis at all. Most are users on Android systems older than 4.4. You can read the browser recommendations. [1]
• Special:LinkSearch has been moved from the "Redireccions" section on Special:SpecialPages to the "Listas de paginas" section. [2]

Changes later this week

• Wikis can protect pages so that only some users can edit them. The standard protection levels are Blocar los utilizaires novèls e los utilizaires anonims and Administrators unicament. If your wiki use more protection levels the technical name might be renamed for standardisation. This doesn't affect what users see. [3]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 January. It will be on all wikis from 16 January (calendar).

Future changes

• Deepcat and Catgraph will stop working. This will happen at the end of January. This is because you can now use the normal search function instead. [4]
• You can use <ref follow="…"> to merge footnotes that follow each other. It is meant to be used for digitised books on Wikisource. If the order of the footnotes is wrong no error was shown but the bad <ref> was shown outside the <references /> list. This will change and you will see an error message instead. [5]

Comptes dobles

Adiu, Joan Francés e bona annada. Ai vist qu'as utilizat un sistème automatic que calcula la populacion e la densitat gràcias a una comunicacion ambe l'INSEE. Aquò's fòrt plan quand es configurat coma cal. Solament ací la populacion donada es la ambe comptes dobles. Ex : quand l'escolan Eutrope Broustejoutes, de Luberçac, comuna de Sent Sarnin, es intèrne al licèu de Marmanda, es comptat dos còps : a Sent Sarnin e a Marmanda. A Marmanda es comptat a part. En bona demografia, l'usatge es de notar la populacion municipala sense comptes dobles, en tirant la populacion comptada a part, donc a Marmanda sense l'escolan Broustejoutes. Veiràs per exemple que sus la Wp francesa, qu'a las donadas a jorn, Artigueloutan a 1090 abitants en 2017 e li'n donas 1119 : los 29 son la populacion comptada a part, que cal pas botar, segon los usatges. Sai pas se pòdes corregir lo daquòs... Amistats.Sivadon 1949 (d) 18 genièr de 2020 a 01.58 (UTC)

Adiu. Se dises que dins los autres estats d'Occitània botan la populacion totala (ambe'ls comptats a part), probable qu'o sabes (es pas dins mas coneissenças). Çaquela vesi sus Viquipèdia una precision : « Les dades del 1717 al 1981 són de la població de fet, que inclou els presents i els transeünts, segons el cens de població. Les dades a partir de 1990 són de la població de dret, segons el padró continu municipal. » . Los transeünts me semblan ben correspondre als comptats a part. E populació de dret seriá coma population municipale ? Mès benlèu qu'i compreni pas ren. Ai emplegat la nocion de comptes dobles perqué es pus evocatritz per las personas que pòdon legir nòstra correspondéncia. Demai, foguèt ma formacion, ieu que soi plan vièlh. Per la meteissa rason pedagogica, ai donat un exemple concret... e risolièr. Ai fait una passejada dins las autras Wp e m'a semblat qu'utilizavan la populacion municipala (benlèu perqué avián copiat sus la Wp francesa, mès cresi que non, sembla automatic). Me sembla tanben que la populacion s'ajusta automaticament e qu'es pas necessari de la copiar a la man, veni de far l'experiéncia. Escota, pel canton de Pau Davant, faràs coma voldràs. E pels autres, se vòls. Me sembla pas una bona idèa, personalament, de far pas coma las autras Wp. Amistats.

Ai assajat sul canton de Vilamblard e la comuna de Belesmas, 274 ab en 2017. Lo sistèma me bota 279. Ai cercat perqué : èra la populacion de 2015 ! Ai assajat sus una autra comuna : parièr ! Perqué ? sai pas. Conclusion ? pel moment, arrèsti. Sivadon 1949 (d) 18 genièr de 2020 a 17.49 (UTC)

D'un costat, quitament se i a de retards, es un sistèma qu'es en comunion mistica ambe l'INSEE (coma los apòstols lo jorn de Pentacosta ambe'l Sant Esperit), e donc que s'actualiza automaticament. I vau soscar. Cossí que siá, utilizarai sonque la populacion municipala. Sivadon 1949 (d) 24 genièr de 2020 a 04.01 (UTC)

Problems

• Some mobile diffs have problems. A couple of buttons are not shown. Structured data diffs on Commons are confusing. The developers are working on fixing it. [8][9]

Incrustacion

Adiu, Joan-Francés. Sus las infobóstias vesi tot còp lo mot Eraudica (sic, per Eraldica, mot sabent creat al sègle XIXen) que s'apond, que i aja un blason o pas. Sai pas se qualqu'un a faita una conariá... Amicalament. Sivadon 1949 (d) 10 febrièr de 2020 a 08.14 (UTC)

A ! Cresi qu'ai trobat. Cal pas escriure cap sus la partida escut quand n'i a pas. Quand n'i a un, sai pas çò que caldriá far per evitar aquela pollucion. Sivadon 1949 (d) 10 febrièr de 2020 a 08.33 (UTC)

Tè, per exemple Landeroat, compara la version actuala ambe la version del 3 de febrièr (cas d'una comuna sense blason). O Pelagrua, cas d'una comuna ambe blason.Sivadon 1949 (d) 10 febrièr de 2020 a 09.50 (UTC)

È ben fas un brave trabalh per las populacions. Joan Baptista èra lo Precursor del Crist, tu ès lo Precursor del Sant Esperit... de l'INSEE puslèu. Li permetes de davalar sus las paginas. Per çò qu'es d'« Eraudica » (en maissant occitan), sembla qu'a pas cambiat ren. Ai ensajat de suprimir la linha... totjorn ren. Compreni pas. Amistats. Joan Pèire Sivadon. Sivadon 1949 (d) 11 febrièr de 2020 a 20.34 (UTC)

As trobada una solucion eleganta. Mès, en gaitant l'istoric, ai vist que n'i aviá una de mai simpla : suprimir la legenda de l'escut, ajustada inutilament en 2015. L'ai suprimida (mès càmbia pas res, me sembla). Digas-me çò que ne pensas s'es pas d'acòrdi. Amistats.Sivadon 1949 (d) 13 febrièr de 2020 a 02.30 (UTC)

Fòrmas mixtas o estranhas

Adiu, Joan Francés. Avèm un òme que dona de noms novèls e estranhs a de comunas auvernhassas o borbonesas (Linharolas ? per Linharòlas o Linhairòlas benlèu, de *linariola ?). Aquels noms semblan de còps en grafia bonaudiana o mixta (Eschaseiras, Vernusa, ambe [z] ? Gotira per Goteira(s) probable, ambe barradura costumièra de la tonica, que s'escriu pas) o eventualament realistas (Serbanas, coneissi pas l'etimologia, benlèu gallés *sili-bana, mès lo sens es malaisit ?) o... sai pas ! Coneissi pas tròp mal los parlars e la toponimia del Cantal, un pauc mens los de Léger Naut, mès pus au nòrd manqui de coneissenças precisas. Me gardi de tota suposicion mès me pensi que val mai survelhar sas iniciativas e revertar çò qu'es pas fontat sus de fonts seriosas o que sembla opausat a las règlas de la fonetica istorica. Ai dejà començat per Tièrn (la tombada de g intervocalic es regulara : Tihernum en 1373, Tiernium en 1392 segon los Féniés). Amistats.Sivadon 1949 (d) 14 febrièr de 2020 a 18.48 (UTC)

Modèl "Data" amb errors...

Bonjorn, Joan Francés.

(en): I saw you were able to fix some of the errors with the demography model. I noticed that Modèl:Data has script errors and is edit-protected, so only an admin can work on it. Currently it doesn't show its description page] and on said page, you can see that certain dates are not working. If you have time, please give it a look-over.

(oc): Ai vist que poiriatz corregir cèrtas d'errors del modèl demografic. Ai remarcat que Modèl:Data conten d'errors de script e es protegit contra las modificacions, doncas sol un administrador i pòt trabalhar. Actualament, aficha pas sa pagina de descripcion e sus aquela pagina, podètz veire que cèrtas datas foncionan pas. S'avètz lo temps, volgatz getar un còp d'uèlh.

Grand mercés. -BrennodAloisi (d) 24 febrièr de 2020 a 18.14 (UTC)

Problems

• Readers who were not logged in briefly saw the interface in a language decided by their browser. It should normally be in the language of the wiki. This happened for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug. [16]

Changes later this week

• If you forget your password you can ask for a new one to be sent to your email address. You need to know your email address or your username. You will now be able to choose that you need to enter both your email address and your username. This will be a preference. This is to get fewer password reset emails someone else asked for. [17]
• When you asked for a new password you could see if the username didn't exist on Special:PasswordReset. Now the page will show the username you entered and tell you an email has been sent if the username exists. This is for better security. [18]
• On Special:WhatLinksHere you can see what other pages link to a page. You can see if the link is from a redirect. You can now see which section the redirect links to. [19]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 de març. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 de març. It will be on all wikis from 5 de març (calendar).

• The developers are working on a new interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. You can give feedback. [20]
• There is a vote on the creation of a new user group called abuse filter manager. The vote runs from March 1 to March 31 on Meta.
• wgMFSpecialCaseMainPage was used for the mobile site. It was deprecated in 2017. It will stop working in April. Wikis should see if they use it. If they do they should fix it. You can read more and ask for help. This affects 183 wikis. There is a list. [21]

Lemosin

Adieu, Joan Francés. Ès prudent e as plan rason. Mès aqueste còp me soi ajudat del diccionari francés-occitan de Lavalada. Escriu egleisa. Pel catalan església es una fòrma mièja-sabenta, mès l'occitan glèisa me sembla tanben mièg-sabent (-cl- intervocalic a l'origina > lh normalament) coma plan de mots del domeni religiós. En catalan i a agut en mai una influéncia dels mots nombroses que començan per es-, doncas una analogia e en lengadocian, gascon, etc, una aferèsi. L'etime es ecclesia. Tant que i sèm, s'as léser poiriás gaitar a las explicacions que doni a BrennodAloisi sus sa [pagina de discussion]. M'interrogava sus ma grafia de Mòrtamar (Lavalada : Mòrta Mar) e sus La Ròcha Focaud. Ai dit çò qu'aviás comprés, mès... o sabi pas tot, mai que mai sus de decisions del CLO o autres. A ! tanben Sent Jòrgi e Negremont. As cambiat en ajustant un e, mès coma Sent Jòrgi e Negremont semblan ben lo meteis lòc e non pas dos vilatges, l'anciana grafia sense e es probablament milhora. Ai verificat sus la mapa de Cassini, la lista actuala dels lieux-dits : cap Nigremont en defòra del borg de St-Georges-Nigremont. Ai pas volgut tornar nomenar còp-sec en Sent Jòrgi Negremont. Ai çaquelà modificat Borgon Nuòu en Borgonuòu, una error de Lavalada a l'origina, malgrat lo nom francés Bourganeuf qu'auriá poscut lo metre sus las bonas pesadas. Fasiá tròp de temps que me fasiá aisse ! Amistats. Sivadon 1949 (d) 5 març de 2020 a 12.21 (UTC)

Es un famós resultat, Joan Francés. Ès un excellent informatician. Ara, serà pas mai la pena que boti la populacion actuala dins lo paragrafe de demografia. Sivadon 1949 (d) 5 març de 2020 a 17.01 (UTC)

Comuna francesa

Adiu, Joan Francés. I a un tipe, que per de rasons non enciclopedicas, fotèt un rambalh tarrible en volent suprimir l'article Comuna francesa sus un article que, en realitat, parlava pas que d'aquela nocion administrativa. Remplacèt l'article per un autre al nom de comuna que donc tractava pas de la nocion generala de comuna. En mai d'aquò, los ligams ambe'ls autres articles son sovent cap a de nocions diferentas. Per ajustar al rambalh e amagar sa manipulacion, lo meteis contributor i apondèt artificialament lo contengut de l'article Municipi (illustrat per una mapa de la Val d'Aran) nocion generala qu'a per contengut semantic la nocion d'unitat administrativa de basa (encara que los ligams ambe'ls autres Wps sián del tipe Town Hall = ostal de comuna e que per exemple Town Hall mene a l'article occitan Ostal de comuna...). Ai començat a botar un pauc d'òrdre, primièrament en tirant l'apondi artificial Municipi, segondament en revertant aqueste matin las redireccions entre Comuna e Comuna francesa al benefici del primièr, çò que me permetèt de restablir l'article Comuna francesa. Lo resultat es pas complet, perqué, un, l'article Comuna existís encara en concurréncia ambe Comuna francesa, dos, que segon las introduccions, quand un article parla de "es una comuna" o "es una comuna francesa|comuna", aquò mena quora a un article, quora a l'autre e, tres, que lo rambalh dels ligams ambe'ls articles dins d'autras lengas es pas brica resolgut, mès enfin la situacion es un pauc melhorada. Me pensi que caldriá suprimir l'article Comuna (trabalh d'un administrator), quitament se dins un primièr temps aquò nos farà un pauc de roge dins las introduccions de las comunas occitanas e per çò qu'es del rambalh dels ligams ambe'ls articles de las autras Wp, es pas de ma competéncia malurosament. Ai fait çò qu'ai poscut e se va pas o se cal completar lo trabalh (causa pas especialment urgenta)... personalament pòdi pas. Fòra de la question, me mainèri fa 15 jorns que dins la Wp.Torn de França ciclista, après divèrsas manòbras que vòli pas qualificar, volián suprimir l'article Michel de Lorgeril (a l'avantatge probable de... o vòli pas dire). En urgéncia per salvar l'article, ne copièri una version anteriora, comencèri a la traduire e i vòli ajustar çò qu'ai trobat sus un libre de l'interessat. Pr'amor de mon nivèl scientific, ensagi çaquelà de copiar pas tròp de causas que soi pas capable de comprene e de mestrejar. L'article serà donc un pauc mens maissant e en tot cas pus equilibrat que son equivalent francés catastrofic, mès A vaincre sans péril on triomphe sans gloire ! Fin finala l'article francés, vengut completament caricatural, es pas estat suprimit, mès se podiá pas preveire. Supausi que i aura d'agressions contra l'article occitan. Amistats.

Estats e territòris d'Índia

Adieu Joan Francés.
