Modèl demografia

Adiu Joan Francés. Ai a te demandar doás causas a prepaus del modèl demografia. Primièrament, caldriá que lo grafic angue delà la data de 2010 (sus wikipédia.fr an las chifras de 2015). Segondament, las populacions de cada grafic van fins a 500 abitants, puèi fins a 1000 abitants, puèi fins à 5000 abitants, a 10000, a 50000, etc. Ai remarcat que i a plan de comunas que son ara jos 500 abitants, quitament jos 200, mas que despassèron los 1000 abitants al sègle XIX, sovent de gaire. Ambe'l modèl que va a 5000, la populacion es ranconhada tot al fons del grafic, çò que met pas en valor las evolucions demograficas. Me sembla qu'un gras de 2000 abitants (puslèu que de 2500, mas aquò rai) seriá plan util. Personalament, soi pas capable de far las modificacions. A prepaus, es quicòm a far saber als utilizaires, quand lo grafic marcha pas pr'amor d'una populacion tròp nauta, sufis d'ajustar sus una linha la chifra maximala, per exemple |max= 1352. Coralament. Sivadon 1949 (d) 16 genièr de 2018 a 11.20 (UTC)

Auvèrnhe Ròse Aups ---> Auvèrnhe-Ròse-Aups

Adiu, Joan Francés. Cresi que ta grafia Auvèrnhe Ròse Aups es una error (amai s'escriviá abans Ròse-Aups). Lo jonhent es necessari perqué administrativament es una sola region e non pas tres. Sabes tot lo mal que pensi de certanas règlas absurdas del CLO e pòdi pas pensar de ben de monde que nos fan escriure *Borgon Nuòu e *pòstonic (per 2 mots sabents !), *antisismic e *Autariba. Mès aquò rai. Aquí cresi que la règla expausada p. 54 de http://superlexic.com/revistadoc/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Linguistica-occitana-6-CLO.pdf es completament racionala. Fòra de la question, las mapas ambe'l sud en naut me pausan problèma e, per exemple, dins la de las lengas d'Auvèrnhe-Ròse-Aups, me soi demandat perqué la Chequia, a l'oèst (a esquèrra en tot cas) èra en Auvèrnhe a la plaça del Cantal. E cresi que soi pas lo sol. Avèm pro de problèmas sense inventar de dificultats qu'existissián pas abans. De còr e d'òc. Sivadon 1949 (d) 20 genièr de 2018 a 20.48 (UTC)

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

• Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to. [12]
• The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language. [13]
• Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded. [14]

Problems

• Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this. [15]

Changes later this week

• When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users. [16]
• When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like gallery widths="150px". You could use em or % instead of px but it would make no difference. You can now only use 150px or nothing (150). If you write something else, instead of treating it like px, it will not work. [17]
• The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of Òc or Non it will say Thank and Cancel. It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public. [18]
• Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it. [19]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 February at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2018-07

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

• TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator. [22][23][24]
• Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.

Changes later this week

• You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages. [25]
• The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like {{reflist}}, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates. [26]
• The abuse filter extension has a new feature contains_all that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. [27]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar).

Recent changes

• The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed. [29][30]
• You can now see statistics for pageviews per wiki per country. You can see this on maps or in a table. [31]

Problems

• Linter is reporting estimated counts instead of actual counts for some wikis. This is because of performance problems. You might notice a false higher number in linter counts for some categories. This will be fixed as soon as the performance problem has been fixed. [32]
• Last week the way that Visual Editor displays references lists was changed. As a result, the references generated by specific templates like {{sfn}} are not visible in the references list whilst editing. [33][34]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 February. It will be on all wikis from 22 February (calendar).

Problems

• Last week's MediaWiki version was rolled back because of a bug. [37][38]
• Since the deployment train last week until late evening on 20 February UTC, when you thanked someone for an edit, the thank went to the latest unthanked edit to that page. It didn't matter which edit you tried to give thanks for. This has been fixed. [39]
• Special:Statistics did not take newly created pages into account since 13 February 2018. Because of this the statistics are recreated. [40][41][42]

• Users with version 10 of the Internet Explorer browser will no longer get JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis. If you use this browser on your computer, you can try upgrading to a newer version. [43]

Changes later this week

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. [47]
• On Special:AbuseLog you can now choose to list only actions that actually made an edit. Other actions are when the filter warned the editor or blocked the edit from being made. There are also more search options. [48][49]
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor, but it is complex. The tool will now warn in the JavaScript console if the configuration isn't correct. Soon Citoid will disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [50]

Recent changes

• 3D models can now be uploaded to Commons. [51]
• Page Previews has been updated to use HTML for previews. This has fixed many issues. An A/B test was done on English and German Wikipedia to measure how it is used. Other changes were also made. [52]
• Some edits have to be checked against too many conditions before they can trigger an abuse filter. If that is the reason no filter is triggered the edit will be tagged for review. [53]
• Auto-saving has been added to the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. Right now it is meant to help if your browser crashes or if you accidentally close a tab. [54]

Problems

• The abuse filter did not tag all edits that should have been tagged after last week's MediaWiki version had come to the wikis. It was fixed on 9 March (UTC). [55]

Changes later this week

• Some of the interface icons and text sizes will change slightly, as part of the updates for improved accessibility and consistency. These icons are used in many features, including Notifications, Recent Changes, Beta Features, Visual Editor, 2017 Wikitext Editor, Code Editor, and others. While editor toolbars, dialogs, and menus will appear slightly bigger; elements on special pages will be slightly smaller. Functionality will not change. [65] [66]
• The deprecated #toc and #toctitle CSS ids have been removed. If your wiki was still using these for fake Tables of Content (ToC) then these might lose their styling. They can be replaced with .toc and .toctitle classes where appropriate. [67]

This will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on wiki size. Read more details. [69]
• Changes are coming to search for Serbian projects. Cyrillic and Latin variants of a word and different grammatical forms of a word will be able to find each other. Read more on MediaWiki in Serbian or English.

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

• Template Wizard script available for testing. It will show up as a puzzle-piece icon in the 2010 WikiEditor. You can click on the icon to insert a template.
• The Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey is to be sent to participants around the world this week. If you are volunteer developer, and have contributed code to any pieces of MediaWiki, gadgets, or tools, please take 20 to 40 minutes to complete the survey.

Problems

• MediaWiki deployment train has been rolled back to version 1.31.0-wmf.26 on week 13, due to a multiplication of lost connections during MySQL queries. Some of the recent changes may have not been applied. They will be deployed next week. [70][71][72]
• The Notifications badge icons were overlapping other links. This has been fixed. [73]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 April. It will be on all wikis from 5 April (calendar).
• User subpages ending in .json will now be protected from other people editing them, like .js and .css pages already are. If you have a tool that stores static configuration, you can now use a subpage like User:Example/mygadget.json to do this without concerns. [74]
• Tidy will be replaced by RemexHtml on the next set of wikis. On April 4, we plan to turn off Tidy on all Wikiquotes (except frwikiquote) and Wikimedia chapters and user groups wikis. 23 wikis will have Tidy replaced this time. [75][76][77]
• AbuseFilter will transition to use OOUI starting April 4, and the rule editor will also be changed to a CodeEditor (ACE) similar to what is found on user JavaScript pages. The move to OOUI will continue over the next few weeks. [78] [79]
• In Special:Preferences, the preference "Recargar automaticament la lista de seguiment quand las opcions de filtratge son modificadas (JavaScript requesit)" is now only visible for users who have opt-out the New Filters for the Watchlist. [80]
• You can see names of individual abuse filters in Special:AbuseLog. Now if the name of an abuse filter contains some wikisyntax like links, it will not change to a link when displayed. [81]
• You can now search through filter patterns at Special:AbuseFilter. You may specify either a plain string or a regular expression and the matching filters will show a snippet of their pattern with the match highlighted. [82]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 3 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 4 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• If you're using, creating or improving Lua modules, you can give your feedback to help harmonizing the modules across wikis and add more useful functions.
• On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with less than 50 entries in all high priority linter categories. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml by end of June 2018. Please follow T175706 to monitor progress of Tidy replacement. [83][84]

Tech News: 2018-15

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

• Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [85]
• You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [86]
• The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [87]
• Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [88]

Problems

• The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [89]
• For a week in March rollbacks got both the rollback and the undo tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [90]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 April. It will be on all wikis from 12 April (calendar).
• Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. [91]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2018-16

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

Changes later this week

• Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [92]
• Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (=== and !==) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [93][94]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 April. It will be on all wikis from 19 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 17 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new PDF renderer could not create PDFs from books. Books are in this case collections of pages on a Wikimedia wiki. PediaPress will take over development of the books-to-PDF function. [95]
• Pywikibot will no longer support Python 2.7.2 and 2.7.3. [96]
• Volunteer developers can fill out the Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey. The last day is April 22 (UTC). This is a third-party service survey. See the privacy statement.

• The icons in the 2010 wikitext editor have changed. [97]
• The visual editor and the 2017 wikitext ask you to write an edit summary after you press Publish. This button now also shows an ellipsis. This is to show that pressing Publish is not the last step. [98]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 April. It will be on all wikis from 26 April (calendar).

Tech News: 2018-18

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

Recent changes

• The parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [100]

Problems

• We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [101]

Changes later this week

• You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [102]
• When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [103]
• You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the Fenèstra de modificacion section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [104]
• There is a new abuse filter function called equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 2 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jhareModèl:@wikimedia.org to leave private feedback.
• All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [105][106][107]

Referéncia provisòria

Per que lo monde sàpian d'ont venon los noms de comunas e las prononciacions que son lo resultat de mas recèrcas personalas, escrivi "enquèsta Sivadon abrial 2018". Soi plan conscient que se tracta pas d'una referéncia en fòrma deguda, mas que far aquí mai ? Benlèu que se trobaràn un còp publicadas jos una fòrma escrita, eventualament ambe l'ajuda d'autras personas, mas en esperant aquela oficializacion, ai pas trobada de solucion milhora. Aquela mencion deuriá prene d'importància, se Diu me prèsta vida e per exemple me pensi de far ongan un viatge o dos de mai al Cantal. Sovent m'a calgut constatar tristament que çò que se tròba dins las referéncias (Toponimia occitana, IEO 15) èra una simpla suposicion... Mas quand i a un dobte, me permeti pas de cambiar lo títol de l'article abans verificacion. Prudéncia ! Sivadon 1949 (d) 2 mai de 2018 a 00.19 (UTC)

Montoliu de Sent Bernat

Adiu Joan Francés. I a un article Montoliu de Sant Bernat e una pagina de redireccion Montoliu de Sent Bernat que mena al prumièr. Lo problèma es que lo nom vertadièr (dins Pojada, Toponimia occitana, Top'Oc...) es Montoliu de Sent Bernat e que lo bot de Boulaur auriá agut besonh de se crompar de lunetas. Pr'amor de la pagina de redireccion, es impossible de tornar nomenar Montoliu de Sant Bernat en Montoliu de Sent Bernat. Cresi qu'aquò despassa mas competéncias tecnicas. Se i pòdes far quicòm... Mercés d'avança ! Sivadon 1949 (d) 28 mai de 2018 a 01.50 (UTC)

Mercés Joan Francés. Amistats.Sivadon 1949 (d) 28 mai de 2018 a 10.29 (UTC)

Estòp pub !

Adiu, Joan Francés, excusa-me de t'embestiar encara. Ai trobat aquò https://oc.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentr%C3%ACa_blancha . Ai ensajat de reglar los problèmas grafics, mas cresi que lo problèma es mai que la grafia. Es un article de publicitat sus un libre (article redigit per son autor ? Cu sap !), lo títol correspond pas al contengut (e pel libre lo títol correspondiá pas tanpauc al contengut, perqué un libre sus l'occitan e i a pas que l'occitan d'un canton...). A la reflexion, es pas lo tèxte nimai lo títol que cal cambiar, es un article publicitari qu'es pas admissible. Amistats. Sivadon 1949 (d) 28 mai de 2018 a 11.28 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-22

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

• You can now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [115][116]
• It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [117]
• Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words.
• There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [118]
• Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [119]
• There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [120]

Problems

• Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [121]

Changes later this week

• There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [122]
• A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [123]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 May. It will be on all wikis from 31 May (calendar).
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [124]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 29 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 30 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Content Translation drafts which have not been updated in over a year will be removed. This allows other users to translate those articles. [125]
• A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [126]
• Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. [127][128]

Recent changes

• The MonoBook skin has been optimised for mobile devices. It now looks different. [129]
• Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [130][131]
• Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [132]

Problems

• You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them.
• MassMessage did not work 24–28 May. This is also why last week's Tech News was late. [133]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 June. It will be on all wikis from 7 June (calendar).

Future changes

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This is planned to happen in June or early July. [134][135]

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

• Syntax highlighting has been a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It is now a normal feature. It is based on CodeMirror. [141]

Changes later this week

Meetings

Future changes

• Some old web browsers will not be able to read the Wikimedia wikis. This is because they use an insecure way to connect to them. This means that we get less security for everyone else too. This affects about 0.08% of all traffic to the Wikimedia wikis. This affects for example those who read Wikipedia on a PlayStation 3. [142][143]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. Because there is no new MediaWiki version this week it will happen on 25 June for most wikis. For the rest it will happen in early July. [144][145]
• All wikis that have not already done so will switch to use the Remex parsing library on 5 July. This is to replace Tidy. You can help fix remaining errors. [146]

Recent changes

• WebM video files have smaller file size but still be of the same quality. Creating WebM files will take longer time. [152]

• All wikis now use the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy. This could cause errors. You can help fix the errors. [154]

Problems

• On the mobile version you can find a link to an editor's contributions from their user page. Now this will work even if they haven't created a user page. [159]
• When you edit a discussion on the mobile version you sometimes get your signature automatically added. This will now not happen if you have already added a signature manually. This is to avoid double signatures. [160]
• Structured discussions toolbars will have more style options. [161]
• When you look at Wikimedia code in Gerrit there will be a new interface. It is on by default for new users. This is also true for developers. This is to make it easier to understand what is happening. [162]

Future changes

• Today all administrators can edit CSS and JavaScript for the entire wiki. There will be a new user group for editing CSS and JavaScript. Administrators will no longer automatically be able to do this. This is because it is a security risk when all administrator accounts can edit JavaScript even if they never plan to or do not know how it works. You can read more. [163]
• Page previews will be on by default for new accounts. [164]

Cubzac e los determinants

Adiu. Te respondrai pus detalhadament aqueste ser. Ne profiti per te senhalar un pichon problèma. Se vas a Roccabruna (Italia) sus wikipedia.it, veiràs que i a pas d'equivalent occitan per aquela comuna de la Val Maira. L'equivalent es La Ròcha (Valadas Occitanas) associat per error a una pagina de desambigüacion, que trobaràs en anant a Dins d'autras lengas. Coralament. Sivadon 1949 (d) 31 agost de 2018 a 06.51 (UTC)

La question es malaisida. L'usatge local es normalament sense determinant. D'un autre costat, dins un usatge larg, lo determinant a son utilitat. Me pensi que cal far la diferéncia entre los determinants que son tradicionals o istorics e los determinants recents. Los primièrs an un pes e una mena d'onorabilitat que los autres an pas. Aquí perqué ai daissat (provisòriament ?) Sant Martin de Valmaron e sabi pr'aquò que l'usatge es Sent Martin Grand (per oposicion a Sent Martinòt, qu'es Sant Martin Chantalés) o tot simplament Sent Martin [sin mar'ti]. Auriái poscut metre Sent a la plaça de Sant. Tot se passa coma s'aviái considerat Sent Martin Grand coma un chafre puslèu qu'un nom vertadièr. Dins los determinants recents, n'i a qu'an una simplicitat que los fai admetre mai que d'autres : exemple lo nom del flume que i passa. I a tanben un autre cas : quand, en francés, i a un nom sense determinant oficialament e que l'usatge (las plancartas a la dintrada del borg, per exemple) es d'utilizar un determinant. Un cas dins mon país : Sent Sarnin de Duràs que oficialament es Saint-Sernin. La causida del determinant en francés per volontat populara, malgrat l'administracion, fa que en occitan seriá illogic de lo metre pas. Empacha pas que a l'entorn, lo monde dison Vau a Sent Sarnin. Totjorn la diferéncia entre usatge local e usatge larg. Idealament, caldriá conéisser lo país. Mès... I a de cases pus complicats e òm se demanda çò que cal far. Per Cubzac daus Ponts, Bénédicte Boyrie-Fénié escriu Cubzac deus Ponts. Es una causida personala perqué l'occitan local es mòrt, mès dempuèi lo determinant es sus Wp. Lo gardar o lo gardar pas es un afar subjectiu. Coralament. Sivadon 1949 (d) 1 setembre de 2018 a 01.25 (UTC)

Encara una font malsegura pels noms de comunas

Adiu, Joan Francés. Avèm constatat amassa que se lo trabalh de Bénédicte Boyrie-Fénié es preciós, lo cal pas seguir sense precaucions. Cresi que ne podèm dire atal de la mapa d'Andrieu Faure qu'a servit per donar un nom a las comuna dels Nauts Aups, amai es pièger. Un exemple : francés Villar-Saint-Pancrace, en occitan alpin local : l' Viärà, prononciacion [l vjæˈra] ou l'Viärà Sën Prancaci, prononciacion [l vjæˈra sø̃mpʀãˈkaʧi]) (font Wp francesa). Grafia Faure : Vilard-St-Pancraci ! d a Vilar es una letra decorativa francesa (etime villare) e justament en francés i èra pas ! L'alteracion de -l- intervocalica es pas notada, atal coma en auvernhàs, mès en nòrd-occitan mai que mai una diftongason coma Vil- > Vial- s'escriu regularament. L'article manca, Prancaci escrit Pancraci, n'ai benlèu oblidat. L'articulacion [vjæ-] de la primièra sillaba es embarrassanta çaquelà : escriure Vialar ? Vielar ? Pòdi citar tanben Chastèu-Vila Vielha. Caldriá Chastèu e Vilavielha, me sembla (son dos vilatges). Mès aquí benlèu qu'a l'epòca las règlas graficas avián pas las precisions qu'an ara. Cossí que siá, cal èsser prudentissime ambe sas preconizacions. Coralament. Sivadon 1949 (d) 1 setembre de 2018 a 21.49 (UTC)

Recent changes

• wp10 in ORES is now called articlequality. [195]
• When you get a new message on your talk page you get a yellow message in the toolbar. The preference to show or not show this has been removed. [196]

I a dos Sauses

Adiu, Joan-Francés. Dins las Valadas, i a dos Sauses. Sauze di Cesana en italian correspond a Lo Grand Sause en occitan. Sauze d'Oulx en italian correspond en occitan a Lo Sause o Lo Sause d'Ors. O an barrejat tot. I a un sol article Lo Sause d'Ors. Dins l'article Valadas Occitanas, i a los dos noms, que manan a Lo Sause d'Ors. Amistats. Sivadon 1949 (d) 4 setembre de 2018 a 08.51 (UTC)

Lobés

Adiu, Joan Francés. La fòrma grafica occitana es Lobés. Bénédicte Boyrie-Fénié utiliza la prononciacion per justificar sa causida etimologica, donc l'a ausida vertadièrament : [lu'be], [ber'na]; per l'ensemble ambe jonhent : [lu'bejber'na] (indici que la pèrda de l'articulacion de s finala es recenta). Me cal contunhar l'article. Ai presa una decision a prepaus de Bernac. S'ès pas d'acòrdi, pòdes cambiar. Coralament. Sivadon 1949 (d) 7 setembre de 2018 a 06.24 (UTC)

J'ai également créer hier la version du premier Eurocopa de Fútbol ConIFA 2015, du fait qu'il n'y avait que l'édition de 2017. Cordialement.

Cordialement.

Padania campione d’Europa ConIFA

I giocatori padania che hanno vinto il trofeo del campione Coppa europea di calcio ConIFA 2015

La Coppa europea di calcio ConIFA 2015 è stata la prima edizione dell'omonimo torneo. Ha avuto luogo in Ungheria, nella Terra dei Siculi, dal 13 al 21 giugno.

++ Scelta della sede ++

• Modèl:Bandiera Abcasia
• Modèl:Bandiera Isola di Man (Ellan Vannin)
• Modèl:Bandiera Nagorno Karabakh

L'Abcasia si è ritirata perché l'unico stadio presente in Abcasia, è in costruzione. Successivamente, anche il Nagorno Karabakh si è ritirato, dato che l'unico stadio è in ristrutturazione.

Il torneo è stato originariamente progettato per essere ospitato dall'Isola di Man; questo ampliato per poi vedere le partite della fase a gironi e i piazzamenti per round nel sud est dell'Inghilterra, mentre la semifinale, i play-off per il terzo posto e la finale avrebbero avuto luogo a Douglas.

Tuttavia, nel marzo 2015, in occasione del sorteggio per il torneo, è stato annunciato che il torneo non si sarebbe più tenuto nell'Isola di Man, il torneo sarà ospitato dalla Terra dei Siculi in Ungheria.

La Selezione di calcio della Lapponia, che aveva ospitato la Coppa del mondo ConIFA 2014, avrebbe dovuto prendere parte al torneo, ma successivamente è stata sostituita dal Monaco. Successivamente, 3 squadre (Franconia, Monaco, Nagorno-Karabakh) hanno annullato la loro partecipazione per la Coppa Europea di calcio 2015 in Ungheria, che ha costretto una revisione. La presenza di un totale di nove squadre ha portato a tre gruppi di tre in formazione. Nel maggio 2015, Occitania ha anche annunciato il loro ritiro dalla gara e a giugno Ossezia del Sud, Abcasia e Cipro del Nord. Successivamente è stata annunciata l'iscrizione dell'Ungheria del Nord. Il nuovo format è quindi di due gironi da 3 squadre ciascuno, con le prime due classificate di ogni girone che accederanno alle semifinali.

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

• When you added or edited a template with the visual editor the input boxes were very big. This has been fixed. The input boxes will now be smaller until you click on them. Then they will change size to fit the text. [200]

Problems

• Some diffs showed lines in the wrong order. This was fixed last week. [201]
• Marking a cross-wiki notification as read didn't work every time. The other wiki was not updated. This has now been fixed. [202]
• <maplink> did not work for a few days. This was because of a bug. This has now been fixed. [203]
• {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} is used by some templates. For a period edits saved with {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} would save the previous user's name and not your username. This is now fixed. Edits made before the bug was fixed will still be wrong and need to be corrected. [204]
• When you move a page the title still shows the old page name. The developers are working on fixing this. [205]

Changes later this week

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour. You can read more about this.
• Because of the data centre test there will be no new version of MediaWiki this week. Changes for this week will come next week instead.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 Septmber at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The developers work on making the wikis work better on mobile phones. There is a list of common problems when making content easier to read in the mobile view. You can add things to the page and ask others to help.

Camiac et Saint-Denis

Adiu Joan Francés. Compreni pas tròp ta modificacion sus Camiac. Escrives que St Denis es un municipi en 1793 (municipalitat ? perqué es pas çò meteis). Mès la ficha de Saint-Denis, tanplan coma la de Camiac pòrta que la municipalitat es en 1793 Saint Denis et Camiac , donc la comuna actuala e lo nom dins un òrdre diferent. Saint-Denis èra pas una comuna, çò sembla. D'autre part, i aviá una error dins mon tèxte : ai escrit Sent Denis (nom francés) e auriá calgut Saint-Denis. Aquí dessús, ajustas o Sent Denis de Camiac. Vesi pas quina font justifica Sent Denis de Camiac o Camiac de Saint Denis. Segur, en parlant, se disi Saint-Denis, qualqu'un me demandarà benlèu : Saint-Denis de Camiac o Saint-Denis de Paris ?. Mès aquò vòl pas dire que Saint-Denis de Camiac, Saint-Denis de Paris, la Bastide de Bordeaux, la Valérie de Christophe, la Valérie de Sébastien sián de noms fixats. Son d'accidents de la conversacion utilizats en cas d'omonimia, pas mai. Ara, s'as d'informacions precisas, se pòdes citar una plancarta a la dintrada de Saint-Denis, es quicòm mai. Ai donat los exemples en francés perqué justament sabèm pas lo nom occitan de Saint-Denis. I a pr'aquò un indici : sus la ficha de Camiac-et-Saint-Denis, i a escrit per 1801 Camiac et Saint-Donis. Coneissi doás fòrmas d'aquel pichon nom (mès benlèu n'i a mai), Danís e Daunís. Aquel Saint-Donis representa benlèu Sent Daunís. Un toponime Daunis existís dins la Petita Gavacheria e d'unes l'interprètan imprudentament d'Aunis (la província). Enfin, Bénédicte Boyrie-Fénié a pas escrit res sus Saint-Denis, benlèu perqué mancava de fòrmas ancianas (o de fòrmas ancianas en occitan ?). A donat Camiac per nom de la comuna e nosauts avèm recopiat. Me sembla pr'aquò qu'es una anomalia, d'aitant que Saint-Denis èra una parròquia, completament a egalitat ambe Camiac. Fòra de la question, per Saint-Gervais a costat de Castèljalós, lo nom es escrit sus la mapa de Cassini, mès pas a costat de la vila, a 3 km, aquí en gròs ont avèm ara los toponimes Morey et Cap de Ville. Que se passèt ? un càmbiament de borg ? Soi estat un pauc long, excusa-me. Coralament. Sivadon 1949 (d) 15 setembre de 2018 a 12.35 (UTC)

Adiu Joan Francés. Per St Gervais, pas de problèma. Al sègle XIX, lo nom de St Gervais es escrit a costat de Castèlgelós, que siá sul cadastre napoleonian qu'as consultat o sus la mapa d'Estat-major posteriora qu'ai gaitada. Empacha pas qu'es ont t'ai dit sus la mapa de Cassini (sus Géoportail). Lo cas de Climat e de St Denis demanda de rasonaments pus complèxes. Seriá complètament inversemblable qu'agèsson fargat, a la Revolucion o abans, un nom coma Climat (Climac ?) per deformacion de Camiac, un nom foneticament simple. Mès es completament possible qu'un autor del sègle XVIII o un foncionari del sègle XXI pense que St Denis de Climat es una varianta de St Denis de Camiac. Sèm pas de foncionaris, sèm pas obligats estatutàriament a far fisança al trabalh d'una autra administracion, fasèm un trabalh enciclopedic e nos cal simplament èsser rigoroses. Donc, l'equivaléncia entre St Denis de Climat (atestat) e St Denis de Camiac, prudéncia. Çò pus probable es que Climat es lo nom ancian del vilatge, mès sai pas çò que representa Climat, en tot cas pas Sant Joan Climac, Johannes Climacus o Joan de l'Escala. Se lo nom èra St Jean e pas St Denis, benlèu. Probable que representa un nom de persona, benlèu ambe'l sufixe -acum, possible qu'aja patit d'una deformacion jos l'influéncia del mot francés climat. Ai cercat coma pòdes pensar, en latin e en gallés (un derivat de celi, « companhon », ambe un segond element, perqué non). Après, sus totes aquels sites, Cassini, los archius departamentals de Gironda, es aisit de veire que i a de suposicions e de rasonaments per defaut. Cassini es pas geinat d'escriure, d'una part, "municipalité 1793, Saint Denis et Camiac" e d'autra part "[Camiac] Absorbe entre 1790-1794, Saint-Denis". Auriá calgut "entre 1790-1793", mès la formula "entre 1790-1794" es estandardizada cada còp que lo segond element de la comuna es pas recensat en 1793. Son d'automatismes, pas mai, mès la vertat es que sabon pas, e perqué saurián ? cossí las causas se passèron. An una situacion de despart : doás parròquias, e una situacion d'arribada : una comuna. Aquò fa dos càmbiaments, parròquia ----> comuna, 2 ----> 1. Per defaut, escrivon que la parròquia de... es venguda la comuna de (meteis nom) e que l'autra parròquia de... es venguda la comuna de; e que segondament, las 2 comunas an fusionat. Mès en realitat, benlèu que l'afar se faguèt en un sol còp e que per exemple las 2 parròquias de Camiac e de St Denis venguèron, en una sola operacion, la comuna de St Denis et Camiac. Solament, ne sabon pas res e lo rasonament per defaut es dejà preparat sus l'ordinator. Cassini escriu que Camiac "Absorbe entre 1790-1794, Saint-Denis". Perqué ? perqué ara, lo borg es a Camiac. Mès justament, lo nom de "Saint Denis et Camiac" fariá puslèu pensar a una ierarquia dins l'autre sens. Etc. Las informacions preciosas que trobam sus aquels sites empacha pas que los cal pas prene al pè de la letra, mès interpretar e escriure pas çò qu'es lo resultat d'automatismes e d'estandards, mès que sabèm pas de manièra segura. Bon. Te daissi far çò que vòls per Camiac e St Denis. Coralament. Sivadon 1949 (d) 17 setembre de 2018 a 10.10 (UTC)

Donc Climat seriá pas un lòc, o en tot cas pas lo lòc de la parròquia de l'Entre duas Mars... o lo tèxte qu'as trobat confond doás comunautats del nom de St Denis. Lo problèma es qu'en cercant sus Internet òm tròba "le climat de St Denis de la Réunion"... "la climatisation à St-Denis"... Es tot ! Pel moment, ai pas la solucion. Coralament.

Tech News: 2018-48

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

• On wikis with translatable pages you could create a mess when you moved a page that had translatable subpages. A subpage is when you use / to create a new page: /wiki/Page/Subpage. The subpages would be moved but not the translations. The subpages are no longer automatically be moved. This is to make it safer to move pages. [235]

Changes later this week

• The advanced search interface will be available by default on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. It's already active on German, Farsi, Arabic and Hungarian Wikipedia. [236]
• Special:UnusedCategories show empty categories with no files or other categories. You can soon choose to not show soft redirect categories or some maintenance categories there. You can do this with the magic word __EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__. [237]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 November. It will be on all wikis from 29 November (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 28 November at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The mw.util.jsMessage() function was deprecated in 2012. It will be removed next week. Look for the warning Use of "mw.util.jsMessage" is deprecated in the JavaScript console to know if you use an affected script or gadget. If you are a gadget maintainer you should check if your JavaScript code contains mw.util.jsMessage. There is a migration guide. It explains how to use mw.notify instead. [238]

Recent changes

• Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [239]
• Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [240]
• You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [241]
• When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [242][243]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• New accounts will need passwords that are at least 8 characters long. Admins, interface admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, CentralNotice admins, global renamers, check users, stewards and some other user groups will need passwords that are at least 10 characters long. This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [244][245]
• When you hover over a footnote it will show you the reference as a pop-up. This is so you don't have to jump down to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will happen in 2019. Some wikis already have gadgets that do this. You will be able to turn it off. [246]

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.

Recent changes

• Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [247][248]
• Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [249]
• The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.

Problems

• <ref> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <ref name="adams" group="books">. If a <ref> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [250]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December (calendar).

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 19 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Foundation Android app team are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can read more about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
• tiles.wmflabs.org and wma.wmflabs.org will stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes the mapnik gadget, hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going. [251]

Chabanès o Chabanés ?

Adiu Joan Francés. En mai d'aquò, cal supausar que l'èssa finala se pronóncia normalament pas o se realiza coma [-j] : [-ej] o [-ɛj] o entremèg... Segur que sense aquel iòd la prononciacion seriá [-'ne] o ambe un e mejan, mès ambe un [-j] final, la possibilitat d'un è mai o mens dobèrt es rasonabla. Lo nom es l'equivalent de Cabanés : capanna + -ensem (lo Dauzat). La causida del títol foguèt faita per Pasha, que probable coneissiá pas pro lo lemosin. Solament causiguèt pas a l'azard, se basèt, me pensi sus Jan Urroz http://ujan.free.fr/charanto.htm , qu'escriu Chabanès. D'un autre costat i a d'autres noms qu'escrivèm -és, coma Cosés (creacion del meteis Pasha). Es embarrassant... Se pòdes enquistar un pauc mai, aquò rai, mès siquenon valdriá mai èsser prudent. Jan Urroz me sembla qualqu'un de seriós (encara que son Confolent, puslèu que Confolenç, sul modèl del mot probablament sabent Confolentais o del con folent (!) de Guilhèm de Peitieus, me faga dobtar, mès aquí es pas qu'un afar de grafia, pas de prononciacion). Pòdes tanben gaitar a Arris, que seriá Arrís per Grosclaude e Le Nail, segon la Wp francesa. An lo libre a Tolosa, se i pensi verificarai. Coralament.

Tech News writers, editors and translators wish you a pleasant 2019 year.

Recent changes

• RelatedSites extension has been undeployed. It was used to create interwiki links on Wikivoyage, now handled by Wikidata. [252]
• MediaWiki logstash logging is moving to a new infrastructure. This is an ongoing deployment. [253]
• codesearch.wmflabs.org has been updated, with new and updated repositories and a new search options for code. [254]
• On several wikis, an account named "Filtre dels abuses" has been created on December 17 to perform some technical maintenance on AbuseFilter. This account has sysop rights but it's a system user and no human can use it. The account already existed on wikis where AbuseFilter can perform blocks, which are issued using this account. See T212268 for more information and future plans.

Problems

• In AbuseFilter, the "Regulacion" action takes three parameters: count, period and groups. They must now strictly respect the requirements listed on mediawiki.org. A list of broken filters is on Phabricator. If you're familiar with AbuseFilter, please take a look and fix them. [255]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 8. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from January 9. It will be on all wikis from January 10 (calendar).

Tech News: 2019-03

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

• You can now use Google Translate in the content translation tool. [256][257]
• You can now add captions to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup.
• Earlier a quoted HTML attribute had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [258][259]
• Templates with could not show the difference between the live template and the sandbox version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. has a new wrapper parameter now. You can use it for selectors like .mw-parser-output <wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page>. [260]

Problems

• When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have tags. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [261]

Changes later this week

• You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new FileExporter. It will be a beta feature on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you activate it and check your wiki's configuration file.
• Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [262]
• The AbuseFilter variable minor_edit has been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on Special:AbuseFilter.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 15 14 genièr de 2019 a 17.55 (UTC)

Tech News: 2019-04

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

• Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta. [263]

Recent changes

• The content translation tool can now use version 2 as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature. For example it adds the tracking category Pàgines amb traduccions sense revisar to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category in Special:TrackingCategories on Wikipedias.
• https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF, EPUB or ODT. Previously this was 200 pages.

Problems

• When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [264]
• MassMessage is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [265][266]
• Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [267]

Changes later this week

• You will be able to use template styles in the Module namespace. [268]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (calendar).

Fals ligams

Adiu Joan Francés. Ai a te senhalar un fals ligam. La https://oc.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comunautat_de_comunas_d%27Aira es ligada a Wp.fr https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communaut%C3%A9_d%27agglom%C3%A9ration_Grand_Auch_C%C5%93ur_de_Gascogne e non pas a https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communaut%C3%A9_de_communes_d%27Aire-sur-l%27Adour. I a un autra question que me pausi. A prepaus de Quilhan qu'es vengut comuna delegada de la comuna novèla de Quilhan (ambe Brenac), donc ambe una omonimia, ai causit, d'una part, Quilhan per Quillan (ancienne commune) e d'autra part Quilhan (comuna novèla) per Quillan (es a dire Quilhan + Brenac). Mès en realitat, çò que compta ara, es la comuna novèla. Auriái milhor fait de tornar nomenar Quilhan en Quilhan (anciana comuna) e gardar lo nom de Quilhan tot cort per la comuna novèla, atal coma en francés. Veni de trobar lo meteis problèma ambe Riscla, associada dempuèi 2019 a una comuna pichona, Canet (Gers) : fusion inegala entre una granda comuna e una pichona e la comuna gròssa espandís son nom a l'ensemble. Qué ne pensas ? Sivadon 1949 (d) 7 febrièr de 2019 a 17.42 (UTC)

Adiu. Cresi que soi pas estat briga clar. Iò me pensavi puslèu de far coma sus la Wp francesa. Mès aquò rai. Ton idèia es per exemple per Riscla (abans la fusion) e Riscla (après la fusion) un sol article. Dejà lo n° INSEE càmbia pas. Ara me cal soscar als avantatges e als inconvenients.

Atencion als amators

Adiu, Joan Francés. Avèm un debutant, Jejesga06, que sap tres causòtas, qu'a legit un sol libre (de Guiu Martin, me sembla) e que s'es amusat a modificar los noms d'un fum de comunas provençalas o niçardas en foncion d'aquel libre. Me sembla a sas reaccions qu'es d'una pretencion tarribla. L'ai avertit sus sa pagina de discussion (en francés, la sola lenga que parla o al mens qu'escriu...) que caliá èsser prudent dins sas modificacions. Ambe Jeròni, avèm trabalhat a corregir una partida de sos reanomenaments. Veirem çò que farà e s'es capable d'un pauc mai de trabalh collectiu. Siquenon... probable que prendràs tas responsabilitats, mès aquò te regarda. Podèm pas daissar far aquel rambalh. Coralament. Sivadon 1949 (d) 17 febrièr de 2019 a 21.44 (UTC)

Adiu, Joan Francés. La comparason ambe « Alexandre » Bròc es justificada. Darrèr lo refús dels grafèmes catalans, i a, en gratant un pauc, lo pseudo-nacionalisme francés contra los espanhòls. Atencion, ai pas res contra lo nacionalisme francés quand es defensiu, nimai contra lo nacionalisme espanhòl. A prepaus dels darrèrs eveniments en Catalonha, un lector del Monde escriviá « le patriotisme espagnol contre le nationalisme catalan ». Aquel òme disiá sense o saber quicòm de prigond : lo nacionalisme es defensiu, defend la nacion, lo patriotisme es agressiu, defend l'Estat. Mès aquò rai, me pèrdi. Bròc almens coneissiá la lenga, aviá un certan nivèl amai se se cresiá e s'imaginava pus sabent que n'èra. Lo rencontrèri fa mai de 20 ans dins lo quadre professional. Èrem pas d'acòrdi, mès se passèt plan. L'autre, es quicòm mai. S'imagina que i a un diccionari oficial ! D'un autre costat, soi pas totjorn estat plan diplomata dins l'afar. Per Mandaluec, me pensavi ben que La Napola èra un apondi artificial, mès me sufisiá de reglar las questions urgentas. Puèi, coma ditz l'autre; soi estrangièr, soi pas provençal... Me pensi que se calmarà, al mens un moment. Mès lo cal téner de velhat. Amistats. Sivadon 1949 (d) 18 febrièr de 2019 a 17.27 (UTC)

Talk to us about talking

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.

We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.

You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:

1. First, sign up your group here.
2. Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
3. Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
   1. When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
   2. What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
   3. What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
   4. What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
   5. What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
4. Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.

You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.

Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.

You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.

Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

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

• Pages can use geocoordinates from Wikidata with the mw.wikibase.entity:formatStatements Lua function or the #statements parser function. If they do, they will now be shown using a Kartographer <maplink> if the wiki can use Kartographer. You can report bugs or ask questions on Phabricator.
• There is now an EventStream to see when links are added or removed on Wikimedia wikis. You can read the discussions and plans.

Problems

• Some wikis will not be able to edit for a short period of time on 19 March (UTC). This will start at 15:00 UTC. It will last up to 15 minutes but probably shorter. You can see the list of affected wikis. This is because of network maintenance. You can still read the wikis.
• Editors who use Firefox to edit with the visual editor had a problem with copying text. When they tried to select text that included footnotes, templates or block images in the middle they would often only get part of the text. This has now been fixed. [277]
• Some maps didn't work for a while on 8 March. This has been fixed. [278][279]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar).

Recent changes

• The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [283]

Problems

• There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [284]
• The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [285]
• Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [286]

Do(l)mairac

Adiu Joan Francés. Arser, me mainèri que lo nom es Domairac e pas Dolmairac per la comuna del canton de Senta Liurada e Alibèrt ne dona la rason. Mès èri tròp las per o corregir còp-sec. Aqueste matin, as faita una pagina d'omonimia. Me pensi que l'autre Do(l)mairac, lo del Passatge d'Agen, vocaliza tanben l'l e la proximitat del gascon n'es una rason de mai. Çaquelà, coma la pagina es « tiá » e que sabi que coneisses plan l'Agenés, aimi mai te daissar la causida d'aquela modificacion de la pagina d'omonimia. Amistats. Sivadon 1949 (d) 2 abril de 2019 a 08.23 (UTC)

Amai, i a d'autres Domairac (03, 43...) e un Domairòt (probablament, autre sufixe) en 23.Sivadon 1949 (d) 2 abril de 2019 a 08.46 (UTC)

Encara + complicat. Lo de 43 seriá un Daumairac (au pretonic = [u] en auvernhàs), benlèu tanben lo de 03, mès es pas segur, perqué èra dejà Domairac al sègle XI. Per lo Domeyrot de 23, i a pas de fòrmas ancianas. I auriá al mens ! 2 originas : *Dulomariacon e *(H)Artmariacon, siá un al, siá un ol d'epòca romanica. En resumit : Domairac (los 2 de 47, lo de 03), Daumairac (castrum d'Almayrac, cap a 1250) en 43 e Domairòt en 23, al mens per prudéncia. Sivadon 1949 (d) 2 abril de 2019 a 09.16 (UTC)

Poisegur Poisigur

Adiu, Joan-Francés. Te senhali un fals ligam. Dins l'article Sent Mesard (Canton de Miranda), dins lo Gers, l'anciana comuna de Poisegur mena a la comuna actuala Poisigur, de Nauta Garona. S'i pòdes far quicòm... Benlèu per Poisegur caldriá en mai cambiar lo títol en Poisegur (Astarac). Amistats.Sivadon 1949 (d) 10 mai de 2019 a 00.13 (UTC)

Gentilici/denonyms

Adieu Joan Francés,
I've been working for a while on articles related to American cities and states, and I'm unsure how to handle their denonyms. Is there a particular way or method to translate those kinds of names (in particular those with an ending that already exists in other Occitan denonyms. Idahoan(a), Floridian(a), Avonite -> Avonita(unsure of this last one))? Or should only the English (or Spanish where relevant) names be used?

• The Wikidata wbeditentity API endpoint will remove all aliases if the request includes an empty alias. This is how it supposed to work. It has not been working this way because of a bug. This will start on 12 June. [320]

Salut, bien chér Joan Francesc, comment va tu?

Ici il y a une chaleur insuportable!

Je te propose cette page sur un ecrivain LGBT brésilien, et je te demande la gentilesse de 3 minutes pour traduire en Occitaine le deux lignes que sont en Français.

Merci pour ton aide precieux et bon dimanche.

Rei Momo (d) 4 agost de 2019 a 06.13 (UTC)

Grazie mille, quantu tu veux, je suis disponible t'aider en Italien et Portuguais. À bientôt Rei Momo (d) 4 agost de 2019 a 10.00 (UTC)

Traduccion del tèxte del sit

Adieu Joan Francés,

Ai questionat Jiròni sul tèxte del site qu'es ara en frances o catalan, o que conten d'erradas (coma lo mot 'de' duplicat dins las datas en junh: Modificat lo 11 de junh de de 2019... o lo ligam "Viccionari" pel sit Wikiccionari), e me diguèt de contactar un administrator. Es aquel un bon endrech per pausar de questions o los mencionar/prepausar de traduccions?

(fr) J'ai questionné Jiròni sur le texte du site, toujours en français ou en catalan, ou contenant des erreurs, et il m'a dit de contacter un administrateur. Est-ce un bon endroit pour poser des questions sur ces problèmes?

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 August. It will be on all wikis from 8 August (calendar).

Problems

Tech News

• There will be no Tech News issue next week. The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 2 September 2019.

Problems

• Some abuse filters stopped working because of a code change. Only variables for the current action will work. Variables defined inside a branch may not work outside of that branch. You can read more to see how to fix the filters.
• Only six accounts can be created from one IP address per day. Between 12 August and August 15 this was two accounts per day. This was because of a security issue. It is now six accounts per day again. [365]

Changes later this week

• Only a limited number of accounts can be created from one IP address. An IP address can be whitelisted so that it can create as many accounts as needed. This is useful at events where many new persons learn to edit. IP addresses that are whitelisted for this reason will also not show CAPTCHAs when you create accounts. This will happen on Wednesday. [366]

• Special:Contributions/newbies will no longer be working. This is because of performance reasons. It showed edits by new accounts. You can see this in the recent changes feed instead. [367]

• The advanced version of the edit review pages (Recent Changes, Watchlist, and Related Changes) now include two new filters. These filters are for "All contents" and "All discussions". They will filter the view to just those namespaces. However the "All discussions" filter does not include pseudo talk pages, like discussions that are in the Project: or Wikipedia: namespaces. But it will include changes happening on Project talk: or the Wikipedia talk:. [371]

Lo nom de "Queuille"...

Adieu Joan Francés,

ÒC: Ai trobat una comuna d'Auvèrnhe dont lo nom indicat es probablament francés.

Los Wikis basc e catalan utilizan "La Cuelha de Siula" ("Siula" es probablament lo nom del riu qu'es Sioule en francés), e lo wiki basc ditz que lo nom es occitan. Pòdetz m'ajudar a tròbar una font per son nom?

EN: I've found a commune in Auvergne whose listed name is probably French.

The Wikis in Basque and in Catalan use "La Cuelha de Siula", noted in the former to be its Occitan form (and "Siula" likely is the river the French call "Sioule"). Can you help me find a source for its name?

Coralament, BrennodAloisi (d) 13 setembre de 2019 a 03.29 (UTC).

Noms occitans d'otramar...

Adieu Joan Francés, Ai de questions que son mai complicadas de pausar en occitan. So apologies, but I need to write in English...
I'm working off-and-on about the names of places in North America, particularly California and Cascadia. A problem I'm having is figuring out how much of a name to translate, especially where names (either on our Wikipedia or others) could turn out to be either one (U.S. Route 66 or Route 66 in German and Portuguese, Ruta 66 in Catalan and Spanish. Here I've named the page as Rota 66 dels EUA, with a note that it could be Rota 66 and has the two other names in English).

It's just, as one works further down these articles, while a pattern - that generic geographic nouns are translated, city names stay the same except where the same sound uses an accented letter in Occitan ("Indianapolis" -> Indianapòlis; "Arizona" -> Arizòna; replicated in my work where "Astoria" becomes Astòria [Same 'or' sound which becomes 'òr' when California -> Califòrnia]) - there are exceptions, or places where these seeming conventions conflict. Following the trend where generic geographic terms are translated while leaving the more 'specific' name ("James Bay" -> baia de James; "Grand Canyon" -> Grand Canhon; "Rocky Mountains" -> Montanhas Rocosas; "State of Washington" -> Estat de Washington, etc.), it would make sense that other placenames, such as the "Marin Headlands" or "Half Moon Bay" would also translate in such a fashion.

And yet the English "Marin Headlands" carries over onto the French and Spanish wikis; here I've been calling them the morres de Marin, as "headlands" is a general term ( with could be "morres" or "promontòris" or something the like, and "Marin" is a person's name in Spanish, rather than the Occitan adjective. "Comtat de Marin" is correct for the county of the same name, based on how other CA counties have been translated [Comtat de Los Angeles, Comtat de San Mateo e autres]). Based on our own translations in North America so far, it would make sense to leave it as los "morres de Marin" with the English name annotated by "(Marin Headlands en anglés)", yes?

"Half Moon Bay" is one I'm really unsure about, as the city and the body of water are both called "Half Moon Bay". While the body of water could be "baia de la Mièja Luna" if translated literally like the Rockies or the Cascade Range or San Francisco Bay are here, does the city name (something like "Redwood City" is still Redwood City on our wiki) create conflict? Should the city be in English, and the body of water be in Occitan, annotated "(Half Moon Bay en anglés, lo meteis nom coma de la vila)" as I'm guessing goes best with the patterns mentioned? Currently the article for the body of water has been left as "Half Moon Bay (Baia de Califòrnia)" until I can decide what to do (ignore the Plaja d'Estat de Half Moon Bay on the article; the pattern is that those are named after the nearest city. See San Gregorio State Beach and Pescadero State Beach). Could you weigh in on the matter, please and thanks?
