== Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images ==
 
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
 
[[File:(R)-3-phenyl-cyclohanone.gif|255px|thumb|The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.]]
[[File:(R)-3-phenyl-cyclohanone.png|255px|thumb|How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like]]
 
There is a [[w:c:Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Create_PNG_thumbnails_of_static_GIF_images|proposal]] at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)
 
This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the [[w:c:Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Create_PNG_thumbnails_of_static_GIF_images|proposal page]]. Thank you. --[[w:c:User:McZusatz|McZusatz]] ([[w:c:User talk:McZusatz|talk]]) & [[Itilizatè:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:MediaWiki message delivery|discussion]]) 24 jiyè 2015 à 05:07 (UTC)

== Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming ==
 
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
(Sorry for writing in English)
 
When using data from Wikidata on Wikipedia and other sister projects, there is currently a limitation in place that hinders some use cases: data can only be accessed from the corresponding item. So, for example, the Wikipedia article about Berlin can only get data from the Wikidata item about Berlin but not from the item about Germany. This had technical reasons. We are now removing this limitation. It is already done for many projects. Your project is one of the next ones. We will roll out this feature here on August 12.
 
We invite you to play around with this new feature if you are one of the people who have been waiting for this for a long time. If you have technical issues/questions with this you can come to [[d:Wikidata:Contact the development team]].
 
A note of caution: Please be careful with how many items you use for a single page. If it is too many pages, loading might get slow. We will have to see how the feature behaves in production to see where we need to tweak and how.
 
How to use it, once it is enabled:
* Parser function: <nowiki>{{#property:P36|from=Q183}}</nowiki> to get the capital from the item about Germany
* Lua: see [[mw:Extension:Wikibase Client/Lua]]

== Help for translate ==
Hello and sorry for writing in English. Can anyone help me translate a small article (2 paragraphs) from English to your language? Please, fell free to answer in my talk page in your wiki. [[Itilizatè:Xaris333|Xaris333]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:Xaris333|discussion]]) 8 out 2015 à 23:22 (UTC)

<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">
(Sorry for writing in English)
 
Hi everyone,
 
As I have previously announced here we have now enabled the arbitrary access feature here. This means from now on you can make use of data from any Wikidata item in any article here. Before you could for example only access data about Berlin in the article about Berlin. If you want to find out more or have questions please come to [[d:Wikidata:Arbitrary access]]. I hope this will open up great possibilities for you and make your work easier.

Since the last newsletter, the [[mw:VisualEditor|Editing Team]] have been working on mobile phone support. They have fixed many bugs and improved language support. They post weekly status reports [[mw:VisualEditor/changelog|on mediawiki.org]]. Their workboard is available [[phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]]. Their [[mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|current priorities]] are improving language support and functionality on mobile devices.
 
=== Wikimania ===
The team attended Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City. There they participated in the Hackathon and met with individuals and groups of users. They also made several presentations about [[c:File:How_we_made_VisualEditor_faster.pdf|VisualEditor]] and the [[:c:File:Wikimania_2015_–_Editing_Department_–_Beyond_Editing.pdf|future of editing]].
 
Following Wikimania, we announced winners for the [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Project:VisualEditor/2015_Translathon VisualEditor 2015 Translathon]. Our thanks and congratulations to users ''Halan-tul'', ''Renessaince'', ''<span lang="ne" dir="ltr">जनक राज भट्ट</span> (Janak Bhatta)'', ''Vahe Gharakhanyan'', ''Warrakkk'', and ''Eduardogobi''.
 
For '''interface messages''' (translated at [https://translatewiki.net translatewiki.net]), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after ('''+21.7%'''). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).
 
For '''documentation messages''' (on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after ('''+20.3%'''). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).
 
[https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Project:VisualEditor/2015_Translathon#Graphs_(interface_messages_only) We published some graphs] showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.
 
=== Recent improvements ===
'''Auto-fill features for citations''' can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the '''[[:mw:Citoid|citoid service]]''' to convert a [[:en:URL|URL]] or [[:en:Digital object identifier|DOI]] into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, [[mediawikiwiki:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/GIFs#Auto-citing_a_source|simple process at mediawiki.org]]. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the [[mediawikiwiki:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling_Citoid_on_your_wiki|instructions at mediawiki.org]].
 
Your wiki can customize the first section of the '''special character inserter''' in VisualEditor. Please follow the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Special_characters|instructions at mediawiki.org]] to put the characters you want at the top.
In other changes, if you need to fill in a [[:mw:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHA]] and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:Graph|Vega-based graphs]]. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.
 
=== Future changes ===
The team will be changing the '''appearance of selected links''' inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.
 
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A [[m:Research:VisualEditor's_effect_on_newly_registered_editors/May_2015_study|recent controlled trial]] showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the [[mediawikiwiki:Wikimedia_Research/Showcase#July_2015|July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase]]. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.
 
=== Let's work together ===
* Share your ideas and ask questions at [[:mw:VisualEditor/Feedback|mw:VisualEditor/Feedback]]. This feedback page is now using [[mw:Flow|Flow]] instead of LiquidThreads.
* <mark>Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese?</mark> Language engineer [[mw:User:DChan (WMF)|David Chan]] needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at [[mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test|mediawiki.org]] if you can help.
* If your wiki would like '''VisualEditor enabled on another namespace''', you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
* Please file requests for language-appropriate "{{Int:visualeditor-annotationbutton-bold-tooltip}}" and "{{Int:visualeditor-annotationbutton-italic-tooltip}}" icons for the styling menu [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=PHID-PROJ-dafezmpv6huxg3taml24 in Phabricator].
* The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please [https://jfe.qualtrics.com/form/SV_6R04ammTX8uoJFP sign up for their research program].
* The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at [[:mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings|mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings]]. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main [[phab:project/profile/483/|VisualEditor project]] with the bug.

== Introducing the Wikimedia public policy site ==
 
Hi all,
 
We are excited to introduce a new Wikimedia Public Policy site. The site includes resources and position statements on access, copyright, censorship, intermediary liability, and privacy. The site explains how good public policy supports the Wikimedia projects, editors, and mission.
 
Visit the public policy portal: https://policy.wikimedia.org/
 
Please help translate the [[m:Public policy|statements on Meta Wiki]]. You can [http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/02/new-wikimedia-public-policy-site/ read more on the Wikimedia blog].

== Reimagining WMF grants report ==
 
''(My apologies for using English here, please help translate if you are able.)''
 
Last month, we asked for community feedback on [[m:Grants:IdeaLab/Reimagining WMF grants| a proposal to change the structure of WMF grant programs]]. Thanks to the 200+ people who participated! '''[[m:Grants:IdeaLab/Reimagining_WMF_grants/Outcomes|
A report]]''' on what we learned and changed based on this consultation is now available.
 
Come read about the findings and next steps as WMF’s Community Resources team begins to implement changes based on your feedback. Your questions and comments are welcome on [[m:Grants talk:IdeaLab/Reimagining WMF grants/Outcomes|the outcomes discussion page]].

You can use the visual editor on smartphones and tablets.<br><br>[[File:Switching edit modes to VisualEditor on Mobile web.png|alt=Screenshot showing the menu for switching from the wikitext editor to the visual editor|centre|frameless|230x230px]]<br>
Click the pencil icon to open the editor for a page. Inside that, use the gear menu in the upper right corner to "{{int:mobile-frontend-editor-switch-visual-editor}}".
 
The editing button will remember which editing environment you used last time, and give you the same one next time. The desktop site will be switching to a system similar to this one in the coming months.
<br><br>You can read and help translate [[:mw:VisualEditor/User guide|the user guide]], which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
</div></div>
Since the last newsletter, the [[mw:VisualEditor|VisualEditor Team]] has fixed many bugs, added new features, and made some small design changes. They post weekly status reports [[mw:VisualEditor/changelog|on mediawiki.org]]. Their workboard is available [[phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]]. Their [[mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|current priorities]] are improving support for languages like Japanese and Arabic, making it easier to edit on mobile devices, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
=== Recent improvements ===
'''Educational features:''' The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the {{Int:visualeditor-annotationbutton-link-tooltip}} and {{Int:visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label}} tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. ([[Phab:T108620|T108620]]) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. ([[Phab:T112354|T112354]]) More in-software educational features are planned.
 
'''Links:''' It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. ([[Phab:T74108|T74108]], [[Phab:T91285|T91285]]) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. ([[Phab:T109498|T109498]], [[Phab:T110347|T110347]], [[Phab:T63558|T63558]]) These [[:en:Help:Magic_links|"magic links"]] use a custom link editing tool.
 
'''Uploads:''' Registered editors can now '''upload images''' and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "{{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}} {{int:visualeditor-dialogbutton-media-tooltip}}" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.
 
'''Mobile:''' Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. ([[Phab:T85630|T85630]]) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. ([[Phab:T111894|T111894]]) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "{{int:Visualeditor-contextitemwidget-label-remove}}" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. ([[Phab:T62110|T62110]]) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.
 
'''Rich editing tools:''' You can now add and edit '''sheet''' '''music''' in the visual editor. ([[Phab:T112925|T112925]]) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. ([[Phab:T114227|T114227]], [[Phab:T113354|T113354]]) When editing '''formulæ''' and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of '''graphs'''; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.
 
On the '''English Wikipedia''', the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under [[Special:Preferences]].
=== Future changes ===
You will soon be able to '''switch from the wikitext to the visual editor''' after you start editing. ([[phab:T49779|T49779]]) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a '''single edit tab.''' ([[phab:T102398|T102398]]) This project will combine the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.
 
=== Let's work together ===
* Share your ideas and ask questions at [[:mw:VisualEditor/Feedback|VisualEditor/Feedback]]. This feedback page uses [[mw:Flow|Flow]] for discussions.
* <mark>Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese?</mark> Language engineer [[mw:User:DChan (WMF)|David Chan]] needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at [[mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test|What to test]] if you can help, and report it on Phabricator ([[phab:T110654|Korean]] - [[phab:T109818|Japanese]]) or on Wikipedia ([[:ko:위키백과:시각편집기/IME|Korean]] - [[:ja:Wikipedia:ビジュアルエディター/フィードバック/IME|Japanese]]).
* Local admins can [[mediawikiwiki:Citoid/Enabling_Citoid_on_your_wiki|set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki]]. If you need help, then please post a request in the [[phab:tag/citoid/|Citoid project on Phabricator]]. Include links to the [[:mw:Help:TemplateData|TemplateData]] for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
* The weekly task triage meetings are open to volunteers. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at [[:mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings|mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings]]. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main [[phab:project/profile/483/|VisualEditor project]] with the bug.

== Community Wishlist Survey ==
 
<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">
 
Hi everyone! Apologies for posting in English. Translations are very welcome.
 
The [[:m:Community Tech|Community Tech team]] at the Wikimedia Foundation is focused on building improved curation and moderation tools for experienced Wikimedia contributors. We're now starting a '''[[:m:2015 Community Wishlist Survey|Community Wishlist Survey]]''' to find the most useful projects that we can work on.
 
For phase 1 of the survey, we're inviting all active contributors to submit brief proposals, explaining the project that you'd like us to work on, and why it's important. Phase 1 will last for 2 weeks. In phase 2, we'll ask you to vote on the proposals. Afterwards, we'll analyze the top 10 proposals and create a prioritized wishlist.
 
While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English.
 
Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button. We will be accepting proposals for 2 weeks, ending on November 23.
We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!

== Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed ==
 
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Hello! [[wm2016:|Wikimania 2016]] scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see [[wm2016:Special:MyLanguage/Scholarship committee|Scholarship committee]] for details.
 
If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can '''volunteer as "ambassador"''': you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate '''scholarship applications written in your language''' to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

== [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/MassMessages/2015 Free Bassel banner straw poll|Your input requested on the proposed #FreeBassel banner campaign]] ==
 
''This is a message regarding the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner|proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner]]. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/MassMessages/2015 Free Bassel banner straw poll|Translations]] are available.''
 
Hi everyone,
 
This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner/Straw poll|straw poll seeking your involvement]] has just been started on Meta-Wiki.
 
As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, [[:w:Bassel Khartabil|Bassel Khartabil]]. An exemplary [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner|banner]] and an [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner|explanatory page]] have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.
 
We are seeking [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner/Straw poll|your involvement to decide]] if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.
 
Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/Banner/Straw poll|get involved with the poll and the discussion]] to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.
 
(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Free Bassel/MassMessages/2015 Free Bassel banner straw poll|translate]] this message into your own language.)
 
Thank you for your participation!

==Plan for attracting users==
I am happy to accept a post as administrator to help protect the Wikipedia from spam and vandalism.
 
As for editing, I want to attract editors who have fluency in Haitian and a permanent presence. I believe writing articles on subjects that are of interest to the Haitian diaspora in the United States will be a permanent way of attracting users to this project: Haiti itself is fairly low income but the diaspora has more reliable internet access and more disposable income.
 
This means writing articles about topics related to the New York City, Boston, Orlando, and Miami metropolitan areas:
* Neighborhoods/districts with large numbers of Haitians
* School districts and schools which enroll large numbers of Haitian students.
* Public transportation systems and library systems of these cities
* Pop culture figures, ethnic politicians, etc. from the Haitian community

:I think that [[Modèl:Kout_pwojektè]] needs to be updated, so that the [[Main Page]] has fresh content – or at least to fix it so that [[:Fichye:Cesaire.jpg]] displays correctly. Unfortunately, that requires an admin.
:[[Special:LongPages]] does not show any obviously well-written articles (I only checked the first few), but perhaps someone else will find a good one.
:If not, I have found some good articles at the English Wikipedia that might be considered for translation:
:* [[w:en:2010 Haiti earthquake]] – GA at the English Wikipedia
:* [[w:en:Little Haiti]] in Miami
:* [[Wyclef Jean]] ([[:w:en:Wyclef Jean]])
:* [[w:en:Eugene Bullard]] – first Haitian-American pilot in the US military
:* [[:w:en:Mia Love]] – first Haitian-American congressional representative
:* [[Jean-Bertrand Aristide]] ([[:w:en:Jean-Bertrand Aristide]])
:* [[w:en:W. E. B. Du Bois]] – FA at the English Wikipedia; his father was Haitian
:* [[w:en:Jean Baptiste Point du Sable]] – GA at the English Wikipedia; believed to have been Haitian
:* [[w:en:Sidney Poitier]]
:* [[Garcelle Beauvais]] ([[w:en:Garcelle Beauvais]])

As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!
 
People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 15/Events|events on Meta Page]]. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.
 
Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:
 
* '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 15/Events|Join/host an event]]'''. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
* '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 15/Media|Talk to local press]]'''. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 15/15 years|handy summary]] of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 15/Media#releases|press release template]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Communications/Movement Communications Skills|resources on working with the media]], are also available.
* '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 15/Material|Design a Wikipedia 15 logo]]'''. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
* '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 15/Events/Package#birthdaywish|Share a message on social media]]'''. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!
 
Everything is linked on the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia 15|Wikipedia 15 Meta page]]. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a [[c:Category:Wikipedia15 Mark|list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos]] that community members have already designed.
 
If you have any questions, please contact [[m:User:ZMcCune (WMF)|Zachary McCune]] or [[m:User:JSutherland (WMF)|Joe Sutherland]].

A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button. Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.
 
[[File:VisualEditor single edit tab preference dialog.png|alt=Screenshot showing a pop-up dialog for switching from the wikitext editor to the visual editor|centre|frameless|230x230px]]<br>
 
If you prefer having separate edit buttons, then you can set that option in your preferences, either in a pop-up dialog the next time you open the visual editor, or by going to [[Special:Preferences]] and choosing the setting that you want: <br><br>[[File:VisualEditor single edit tab in preferences 2015-12-18.png|alt=Screenshot showing a drop-down menu in Special:Preferences|centre|frameless|230x230px]]
 
The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently. <br><br>You can read and help translate [[:mw:VisualEditor/User guide|the user guide]], which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

''[[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter/2015/December|Read this in another language]] • [[:m:VisualEditor/Newsletter|Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter]]''
 
Since the last newsletter, the [[mw:VisualEditor|visual editor team]] has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool. Their workboard is available [[phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]]. Their [[mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|current priorities]] are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
 
=== Recent improvements ===
You can '''switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor''' after you start editing.
The '''LaTeX mathematics formula editor''' has been significantly expanded. ([[phab:T118616|T118616)]] You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code. You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.
=== Future changes ===
The '''single edit tab''' project will combine the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. ([[phab:T102398|T102398]], [[phab:T58337|T58337]]) Initially, the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the {{int:prefs-editing}} tab of [[Special:Preferences]] in the drop-down menu about "{{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs}}".
 
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016: [[w:am:|Amharic]], [[w:bug:|Buginese]], [[w:cdo:|Min Dong]], [[w:cr:|Cree]], [[w:gv:|Manx]], [[w:hak:|Hakka]], [[w:hy:|Armenian]], [[w:ka:|Georgian]], [[w:pnt:|Pontic]], [[w:sh:|Serbo-Croatian]], [[w:ti:|Tigrinya]], [[w:xmf:|Mingrelian]], [[w:za:|Zhuang]], and [[w:zh-min-nan:|Min Nan]]. ([[phab:T116523|T116523]]) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at [[:mw:Topic:St8y4ni42d0vr9cv|the feedback thread on mediawiki.org]]. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.
 
In 2016, the '''feedback pages''' for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. ([[phab:T92661|T92661]])
 
=== Testing opportunities ===
* Please try the new system for the '''single edit tab''' on [https://test2.wikipedia.org test2.wikipedia.org]. You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences. <mark>Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at [[mediawikiwiki:Topic:Suspcq0bf5nd3gsd|the feedback topic on mediawiki.org]] or [https://jfe.qualtrics.com/form/SV_6R04ammTX8uoJFP sign up for formal user research]</mark> (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
** {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-remember-last}},
** {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-ve}},
** {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-wt}}, and
** {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-multi-tab}}. (This is the current state for people already using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
* <mark>Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese?</mark> Language engineer [[mw:User:DChan (WMF)|David Chan]] needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at [[mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test|What to test]] if you can help, and report it on Phabricator ([[phab:T110654|Korean]] - [[phab:T109818|Japanese]]) or on Wikipedia ([[:ko:위키백과:시각편집기/IME|Korean]] - [[:ja:Wikipedia:ビジュアルエディター/フィードバック/IME|Japanese]]).

== Quadrilingual ==
 
We often have editors who do not speak Haitian Creole (such as me). It is helpful to provide redirects and links. It is also helpful to include translations for some "background" things.
 
What's the best way to provide a translation? I have just added a short English description to [[:Kategori:Pou efase]] (deletion). Perhaps, though, something like [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Earth&action=edit this] would be better? What do you think? [[Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|discussion]]) 8 janvye 2016 à 22:52 (UTC)
 
== Pou efase ==
 
It appears that there is no written policy for deletion at this Wikipedia. I propose creating a short, simple one that says something approximately like this:
 
<div style="border-style:solid;border-width:1px;padding:1em;">
 
* What we delete without waiting for discussion ("speedy deletion"):
*# All copyright violations and pages with similar legal problems
*# Pages that cannot realistically become encyclopedia articles (for example, test pages or pages saying rude things about a classmate)
*# Blatant advertisements and spam (for example, "Buy cheap software today at http://www.example.com!")
* What we will discuss deleting:
*# Articles for which it is impossible to provide a basic description by referring solely to independent reliable sources
*# Articles about living people that contain information that is both disputed or contentious and unsourced
*# Pages that editors agree are unhelpful to the project (for example, an unused template or a template that makes editing more complicated for new editors)
*# Articles that editors agree have no significant potential for educational value (for example, an article about a small store)
* What we will probably not delete:
*# <s>Pages that are not written in Haitian Creole</s>
*# (second attempt) Pages that are written in some other form of Creole. These pages should be converted to Haitian Creole or placed in [[:Kategori:Atik an lòt kreyòl]] instead of being deleted.
*# Articles that are (correctly) linked to corresponding articles in at least three other language editions of Wikipedia
* How we do it:
** All pages being considered for deletion should be listed in [[:Category:Pou efase]]. Do this by editing the article and adding <kbd><nowiki>[[Kategori:Pou efase]]</nowiki></kbd> to it.
** Any admin can delete pages if there is no requirement to discuss the deletion, or if the discussion has been open for at least one week.
** If a page is deleted, and you think it should not have been deleted, please talk to any admin.
</div>
 
My goal is to get things done, but not create a long, complicated bureaucratic structure. Part of the reason for making this a lightweight process is that I expect to have very few deletions to process. We don't need a complicated system to talk about one or two pages.
 
[[User:Arsendis]], [[User:WhisperToMe]], [[User:MdmPaj]], [[User:Racconish]], and anyone else who's interested: What do you think? Also, where should the deletion discussion happen? Would you rather have a central page for the discussion, or would you rather have the deletion discussion happen directly on the talk page of the article/template/whatever?

:Hello, thank you for your involvement on this Wikipedya {{Modèl:Smile}}.
:All this seems correct ; maybe, I don't know for : « what we will probably not delete: 1- Pages that are not written in Haitian Creole » : last year I proposed for deletion a page written in Chinese or Japanese (I don't remember) and this page was deleted by a Global sysop (cause : not written in local language).
:Its seems better to group all discussions on a central place. --[[Itilizatè:Arsendis|Arsendis]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:Arsendis|discussion]]) 18 janvye 2016 à 08:04 (UTC)
::Thanks, [[Itilizatè:Arsendis|Arsendis]]. I struck out that line.
::How would you write "Pages for Deletion" in Haitian Creole? I think it should be "pages" instead of "articles", because there aren't enough to have different pages for different types of page.

::::[[User:WhisperToMe]], do you see any holes or flaws in this? You're going to be stuck dealing with this process initially, so it needs to be something that makes sense to you.

Update:
 
I'm going to create this page now at [[Wikipedya:Paj pou efase]]. However, I've just added a new suggestion, that differentiates our proposed handling of articles that are written in, say, Greek or Japanese, from articles that are written in other, related Creoles. I would particularly appreciate it if other people shared their thoughts on this change.

== 2016 WMF Strategy consultation ==
 
:{{int:Please-translate}}
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, [[:m:2016 Strategy/Community consultation|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! [[:m:User:Mdennis (WMF)|Maggie Dennis]] via [[Itilizatè:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:MediaWiki message delivery|discussion]]) 18 janvye 2016 à 19:06 (UTC)

== Article placeholder ==
 
There's a new tool created by a student that makes a "placeholder" article when none exists. This does not look like or replace a Wikipedia article. It provides very basic information when no article exists.
 
'''How it works:'''
 
If you search for something, and there is an article, then you go to the article. However, if there is no article here, then it looks at Wikidata. If Wikidata has some information, then it lists the Wikidata information instead of the "no page found" error message.
 
You can see one example here: https://articleplaceholder.wmflabs.org/mediawiki/index.php/Special:AboutTopic/Q3
 
We can request changes to this. For example, I don't like having the "National Portrait Gallery (London) person identifier" number so high in the list, so perhaps we would ask to have the order changed. (I very much like the picture.) I would also like to include an invitation at the top that invites people to create an article.
 
The main advantage is that it provides information to the reader today, without us doing any extra work today. What do you think? Is it worth a try? [[Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|discussion]]) 21 janvye 2016 à 19:11 (UTC)
: I wonder if it could customize which languages it displays in depending on the Wiki edition. For this one maybe do placeholder in English and French if no Creole article exists. For others it may be English and Spanish (for Nahuatl), English and Indonesian (for smaller Indonesian languages), etc. [[Itilizatè:WhisperToMe|WhisperToMe]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:WhisperToMe|discussion]]) 3 fevriye 2016 à 07:31 (UTC)
::That's a good idea. I'll ask [[User:Frimelle]] if it can use the MediaWiki fallback languages. [[Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|discussion]]) 4 fevriye 2016 à 03:22 (UTC)
:::That is a good idea.
:::But I would simply provide French as a placeholder for Haitian.
:::English just complicates matters, as well as seeming overbearing and obnoxious.
:::[[Itilizatè:Varlaam|Varlaam]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:Varlaam|discussion]]) 5 fevriye 2016 à 13:10 (UTC)
::::I am often in Mexico.
::::For Nahuatl, just provide Spanish.
::::University-educated professionals infrequently speak English in Mexico, much less ordinary ''indígenas'' out in the countryside.
::::[[Itilizatè:Varlaam|Varlaam]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:Varlaam|discussion]])
:::::[[Itilizatè:Varlaam]], English is necessary because much of the potential userbase of the Wiki resides in American cities: New York, Miami, Boston, etc. AFAIK internet access is more common with Haitian expats in the US than with Haitians in Haiti. http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Statistics/Documents/statistics/2013/Individuals_Internet_2000-2012.xls says that 9.8% of Haitians have internet access (as of 2012)
:::::Remember that there may also be, for example, non-Spanish speakers studying Nahuatl, and English is the "default" "other-than" language.[[Itilizatè:WhisperToMe|WhisperToMe]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:WhisperToMe|discussion]]) 6 fevriye 2016 à 22:16 (UTC)

===News===
This will be happening on 11 May 2016. I'm really looking forward to this as a means of getting information to readers, when we have no article.
 
It would be a good idea to translate [[:d:Wikidata:List of properties]] as soon as we can.
I think that this https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-terminator/?list&lang=ht&mode=t1000 is the list of the most frequently used items with missing labels and descriptions. In order for the extension to display things in Haitian Creole (rather than French or English), it is necessary is to translate the labels and descriptions of items.

Bonjou ! M pi alèz nan lang angle, donk:
:I need the help of an administrator to modify a specific stylesheet ([[MedyaWiki:Common.css]]) now that the Citation suite’s been updated. [[:en:User talk:Trappist the monk|Trappist the monk]] recommended [[:en:Special:Diff/705966710#Updating help|a specific change]], but in my opinion, what Trappist recommends is based on English‑language punctuation—not Kreyòl’s:
<pre style="margin-left:5em">/* Reset italic styling set by user agent */
cite, dfn {
font-style: inherit;
}
 
/* Straight quote marks for <q> */
q {
quotes: '"' '"' "'" "'";
}</pre>
:But I think for Kreyòl punctuation we probably want the second-to-last line to look more like this:
<pre style="margin-left:5em">
quotes: "«\A0" "\A0»" "«\A0" ""; /* the string \A0 is a non-breaking space */ </pre>
:or maybe like this:
<pre style="margin-left:5em">
quotes: "«\A0" "\A0»" "«\A0" "\A0»";</pre>
:I’m not sure how nested quotation marks look an Kreyòl, but it is my experience, that it generally uses «&nbsp;spaced guillemets&nbsp;» instead of "unspaced quotation marks".

:::::::::The thing that needs testing is the proposed css, right? Because you've got the proposed css in [[Itilizatè:WhisperToMe/common.css]], your browser will render the cs1 templates throughout ht.wiki according to your css settings. That being the case, to test the css, it is not necessary to import the cs1|2 templates or the module; simply write test templates perhaps like this:
::::::::::<code><nowiki>{{cite book |title=Title |quote=this is a quotation}}</nowiki></code>
:::::::::::{{cite book |title=Title |quote=this is a quotation}}
:::::::::which should render with the {{para|title|Title}} in italics and {{para|quote|this is a quotation}} upright between guillemets.
::::::::
:::::::::And, since the <code><nowiki><cite></nowiki></code> css markup is well tested at en.wiki it can be implemented now so that you can concentrate on testing <code><nowiki><q></nowiki></code> markup which could be something as simple as this (which the cs1|2 templates do not do):

== Topic ideas for Port au Prince and Miami-related articles ==
 
A New York Times article gave me some topic ideas:
* Winerip, Michael. "[http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/16/education/16winerip.html?_r=0 New Influx of Haitians, but Not Who Was Expected]" ([http://www.webcitation.org/6fXgvmZ9u Archive]). ''[[The New York Times]]''. January 15, 2011. Retrieved on February 24, 2016. In print as: "New Influx Of Haitians, But Not Who Was Expected" - January 16, 2011, p. A17.
 
For Haiti:
* [[:en:Union School Haiti]]
* [[:en:Lycée Alexandre Dumas (Haiti)]]
These two are private schools in Port au Prince which enrolled members of Haiti's upper classes
 
For Miami:
* [[:en:Miami Edison High School]] ([[Lekòl Segondè Miami Edison]]) - Historically had the largest Haitian American student body - It is inner city and mostly poor
* [[:en:North Miami High School]] ([[Lekòl Segondè North Miami]]) - A center of middle class Haitians (many who leave the inner city move to North Miami), and it enrolled the largest number of survivors of the 2010 earthquake
* [[:en:Felix Varela High School]] ([[Lekòl Segondè Felix Varela]]) - Enrolled the second largest number of 2010 earthquake survivors. Three of those students were top tennis players in Haiti and helped the school's Tennis team
 
Based on the statistics presented in this article I strongly suggest that the first articles started related to the U.S. should be mostly related to the states of Florida and New York
* As of 2011 there were 535,000 Haitian Americans in the U.S. 47% were in Florida while the second largest group, 27%, were in New York State
* Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data stated that 8,989 Haitians came to the U.S. in the nine month period after the 2010 earthquake, with 6,956 of them arriving in Miami. The number of Haitians who came in that time period is about the same as that of the other years (without any disasters occurring).

<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">
 
''[[:m:VisualEditor/Newsletter/2016/February|Read this in another language]] • [[:m:VisualEditor/Newsletter|Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter]]''
 
<div style="margin:0.5em;width:230px;{{#switch:ltr|rtl=float:left;margin-left:0;|#default=float:right;margin-right:0;}}border:1px solid #AAA;padding:0.5em;">
[[File:VisualEditor-logo.svg|200x70px|center|alt=The visual editor]]
 
'''Did you know?'''
<div class="thumbcaption" style="font-size: 90%;">
 
Among experienced editors, the visual editor's table editing is one of the most popular features.
[[File:VisualEditor table menu move column.png|alt=Screenshot showing a pop-up menu for column operations in a table|centre|frameless|230x230px]]
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 [[:mw:VisualEditor/User guide|the user guide]], which has more information about how to use the visual editor.</div></div>
 
Since the last newsletter, the [[:mw:VisualEditor/Portal|VisualEditor Team]] has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available [[phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]]. Their [[:mw:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|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 '''[[:mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab|single edit tab]]''' project will combine the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab.
This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. ([[phab:T102398|T102398]]) Initially, the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" 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 {{int:prefs-editing}} tab of [[Special:Preferences]]:
* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-remember-last}},
* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-ve}},
* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-wt}}, and
* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-multi-tab}}. (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 [[:mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts|"Phase 6" Wikipedias]] during the next few months. This will affect the following languages, amongst others:
[[:w:ja: |'''Japanese''']], [[:w:ko:|'''Korean''']], [[:w:ur: |'''Urdu''']], [[:w:fa: |'''Persian''']], [[:w:ar: |'''Arabic''']], [[:w:ta: |'''Tamil''']], [[:w:mr: |'''Marathi''']], [[:w:ml: |'''Malayalam''']], [[:w:hi: |'''Hindi''']], [[:w:bn: |'''Bengali''']], [[:w:as: |'''Assamese''']], [[:w:th: |'''Thai''']], [[:w:arc: |'''Aramaic''']].
=== Let's work together ===
* Please try out the newest version of the '''[[:mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab|single edit tab]]''' on [[test2wiki:Special:Random|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 [[:c:File:VisualEditor single edit tab preference dialog.png|the large preferences dialog box]] when you started editing an article there?
* <mark>Can you read and type in Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Indic, or Han scripts?</mark> Does typing in these languages feels natural in the visual editor? Language engineer [[:mw:User:DChan (WMF)|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 [[:mw:Topic:St8y4ni42d0vr9cv|the feedback thread on mediawiki.org]].

== Updates to wiki search auto completion are arriving 10 March==
<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">
 
Hello!
 
{{Int:Please-translate}}. {{Int:Feedback-thanks-title}}
 
The [[:m:User:CKoerner (WMF)/Work/Completion Suggester beta reminder and coming soon|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 [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|try out the feature]] ahead of the release. Please share any comments on the Completion Suggester [[mw:Help:CirrusSearch/CompletionSuggester|discussion page]] in any language.

== Machine translation support enabled today for Content Translation ==
 
Hello, machine translation support for Content Translation (beta feature) has now been extended and enabled for users of [[phab:T129331|Haitian Wikipedia]] using Yandex. It can be used when translating Wikipedia articles into Haitian with Content Translation. To start using this service, please choose ‘’Yandex.Translate’’ from the ‘’Automatic Translation’’ dropdown menu that you see on the sidebar after you start translating an article. Please note, machine translation is available from all the languages that are supported by Yandex.Translate, but Content Translation can still be used in the usual manner for translating from all languages, with or without machine translation support.
 
Wikimedia Foundation’s Legal team and Yandex had collaborated earlier to work out [[:mw:Content_translation/Machine_Translation/Yandex#Summary_of_terms_of_Yandex_agreement|an agreement]] that allows the use of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yandex.Translate Yandex.Translate] without compromising Wikipedia’s policy of attribution of rights, privacy of our users and brand representation. Since November 2015, Yandex machine translation has been used for articles translated for Wikipedias in 7 languages. Details about Yandex translation services, including a summary of the contract are available on [[:mw:Content_translation/Machine_Translation/Yandex|this page]]. More information about the machine translation services in Content Translation is available on [[:mw:Content_translation/Machine_Translation|this page]]. We request you to kindly take a look at these pages.
 
We have tested the service for use on the Haitian Wikipedia, but there could be unknown problems that we are not aware of yet. Please do let us know on our [[:mw:Talk:Content_translation|Project Talk page]] or [[phab:T129331|phabricator]] if you face any problems using Content Translation. Our message is written in English only and we will be very grateful if the message could be translated in Haitian for other users of this wiki. Thank you. On behalf of WMF Language team: --[[Itilizatè:Runab WMF|Runa Bhattacharjee (WMF)]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:Runab WMF|discussion]]) 11 mas 2016 à 12:07 (UTC)
 
:I'm hearing good things about Yandex integration. It's supposed to be better than Google Translate for many languages (especially Eastern European ones) – often requires only a few small fixes to get a good translation. However, I don't know enough Haitian Creole to know whether it's very good for this particular language. Could someone enable the Beta Feature and give it a try, and then let us know what you think? (If it's horrible, then we can get it turned off.) [[Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|discussion]]) 15 mas 2016 à 16:38 (UTC)
 
::{{ping|WhatamIdoing|Runab WMF}} I relied on Yandex for the creation of [[Lekòl Leta Miami-Dade County]] (although I didn’t actually publish the article using the built‑in feature). The quality of the translation was largely as you described it. In comparing Google, Bing, and now Yandex, each has room for improvement with Kreyòl, and each had specific weak areas with the text I tested, but none was markedly better than the others. I’d strongly support keeping this feature. The future is now — or at least very soon 😊 —<span style="text-shadow:0 0 .15em #900">[[Itilizatè:LLarson|LLarson]]</span>&#160;<small>([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:LLarson|di]] &amp; [[Espesyal:Kontribisyon/LLarson|fè]])</small> 16 mas 2016 à 22:54 (UTC)
 
== Make this Wikipedia easier to read ==
 
I'd like to have the devs turn on two features for our readers.
 
* '''Hovercards''': This is a very basic, but pretty version of NAVPOPS. It basically displayed the first few sentences and an image from an article. We don't have NAVPOPS or any other gadgets here (and we don't want to maintain them, either), but it might be nice to be able to find out where a link goes without clicking on it.
* '''Related pages''': This is like pre-loading search results at the bottom of the page. The algorithm is basically to run the page name through [[Special:Search]], get the results, remove the result for the page that you're already reading, and display the first three in the list. I think this might increase the number of pages people read, by giving them pointers to pages that are related to what they're currently reading (and perhaps more reading will mean more people noticing the edit button? I can keep hoping...). Since most articles aren't developed enough to have a ==See also== section yet, this would be a flexible, automatically updating substitute. (It could always be turned off later.)
 
What do you think? Does anyone object to giving these a try? [[Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|discussion]]) 16 mas 2016 à 23:50 (UTC)

:::Right now, both of these are in [[Espesyal:Preferans#mw-prefsection-betafeatures]] and turned off, unless you login and turn them on for your account. I think we should have them turned ON, unless you turn them off for your account.

::{{ping|LLarson}} It is correct that it's HT-0. Anyway if Savvyjack23 knows Haitian that makes him an even better candidate!

Anyway I'm willing to take another three month term or whatever is appropriate if there are no better candidates to fill either admin slot. If there is a better #2 who is from Miami and/or Haiti itself that would be even better.

:* I have no objection to Savvy Jack being an admin, and I am happy that he's involved here.
:* LLarson, one of these days, we're going to draft you as admin, too. Might as well be now, you know.
:* Having two (or more) admins means that if Admin #1 is off wiki (e.g., holiday or sick), or is [[w:en:WP:INVOLVED]] in a dispute, or just doesn't know what's to do, then there's someone else to help.
:* I've finally turned on "Enhanced Notifications" here and (importantly) also at the English Wikipedia. To get the real benefit, you need to do this at your other wikis, not just at one.

:::When you think that time has come, I’d be delighted to accept a nomination for adminship. Notwithstanding, I still feel like our stewardship here is dangerously low, and at the moment, 100% temporary ({{i|WhisperToMe}} [[:meta:Special:PermanentLink/15564922#WhisperToMe@ht.wikipedia|until October 24, 2016]]).

== Server switch 2016 ==
 
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The [[foundation:|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'''.<br/>
On '''Thursday, 21 April''', they will switch back to the primary data center.
 
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Manual:What is MediaWiki?|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 [[wikitech:Switch Datacenter#Schedule for Q3 FY2015-2016 rollout|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]].
They will post any changes on that schedule.
There will be more notifications about this.

:[https://translatewiki.net/ Translatewiki.net] handles the translation of the user interface. The UI is all the (labels) that you will see on this page if you click [https://ht.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedya:Kafe?uselang=qqx here].
:Content is updated daily from "TWN". You'll need a separate account there. Please set one up, follow the directions as best you can, and then let me know. You can [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/User_talk:WhatamIdoing leave a note on my talk page there]. I'll see if I can expedite approval of your account.

::{{reponn|WhatamIdoing}} Thank you again. I got it. Remind me to [[:wiktionary:RTFM|RTFM]]—or at least peruse it—before I breathlessly ask for help next time. 😳😂🙈 —<span style="text-shadow:0 0 .15em #900">[[Itilizatè:LLarson|LLarson]]</span> <small>([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:LLarson|di]] &amp; [[Espesyal:Kontribisyon/LLarson|fè]])</small> 1 me 2016 à 02:11 (UTC)
:::Please ask for help whenever you want. UI translation is complicated and the help docs are out of date. Besides, you might not be the only person who has that question – just the only person who is willing to ask.

== The first version of the ArticlePlaceholder is here ==
 
Hey everyone :)
 
Last year we started working on the [[mw:Extension:ArticlePlaceholder|ArticlePlaceholder]] in order to fullfill Wikidata's promise of supporting especially the smaller Wikipedias. Your Wikipedia offered to be among the first to try it. Thank you so much for that! Today we have rolled it out on the first 4 Wikipedias: Esperanto, Haitian Creole, Neapolitan and Odia. I hope this will help your Wikipedia by offering your readers more content and by turning more of them into active editors.
 
What is happening now: When someone searches for a topic where there is no local article but where Wikidata has content it will show up in the search results. When the reader clicks the search result link they will be taken to the ArticlePlaceholder page that shows the content Wikidata has and offers them to create the article.
 
What we rolled out today is a first version in order to get feedback from you. There are still a few rough edges that we are working on and I'd love to hear any additional feedback you have. Only with your feedback can we make sure the ArticlePlaceholder is actually useful for you and your readers. The next thing we will be working on is to allow translation of an article from another language if it exists using the Content Translation tool. Other things we know are still broken or need work:
* language fallbacks in the properties are not working so you will see a lot of P1234 and so on until a label is added on Wikidata in your language
* long identifiers break out of the identifier box on the right side and don't look good
* right now you only get an ArticlePlaceholder in the search results when Wikidata has at least 3 links to other Wikimedia projects and 3 statements. We might need to tweak this number still based on your feedback. We limit this in order to not encourage readers to create an article that will be deleted right after they created it because it isn't notable.
 
In order for the feature to work well we need labels for items and properties in your language on Wikidata. A lot exist already but if you want to help out you can find items and properties that need labels in your language at https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-terminator and [[d:Special:ListProperties]].
 
A lot of the ArticlePlaceholder can be changed locally here in your wiki. However I'd like to ask you to try to not make these changes locally yet as it would be better to improve it for everyone in the original software. If you have change suggestions please let me know about them.
 
Here are some example pages:
* [https://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AC%AC%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%B6%E0%AD%87%E0%AC%B7:AboutTopic?entityid=Q131074 Odia]
* [https://nap.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speci%C3%A0le:AboutTopic?entityid=Q2613697 Napolitan]
* [https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciala%C4%B5o:AboutTopic?entityid=Q12345 Esperanto]
* [https://ht.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espesyal:AboutTopic?entityid=Q12345 Haitian Creole]
 
Thank you again for being the first to try the ArticlePlaceholder and help us make it really useful for everyone.

:It looks like this is giving us an extra line on the search results, "Discover data", which is also very helpful. See [https://ht.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Myocardial+infarction&title=Espesyal%3AChache&fulltext=Search these search results] (on an English term), and when you click the link, it takes you to the Haitian Creole article on that subject. This is very cool. [[Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|discussion]]) 18 me 2016 à 16:20 (UTC)
::For this to work well, we need [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate/ext-articleplaceholder?language=ht&filter=!translated&action=translate everything here] to be translated (at translatewiki.net) and as much of https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-terminator/ as possible. [[Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[Diskisyon Itilizatè:WhatamIdoing|discussion]]) 3 jen 2016 à 05:47 (UTC)
:::We've made some progress, but there's more to be done. Jump in if you want, or if you don't want to be bothered with setting up an account, then post the translations to my talk page (with links and the original text, so I get them in the right places!) and I'll copy them over for you.
