Среќна Нова година

Здраво на сите, среќна Нова година на сите, со многу среќа, здравје и успеси во новата година, па да стигнеме и до стотката оваа година :) --Ehrlich91 (разговор) 12:40, 1 јануари 2015 (CET)

Среќна Нова година им пожелувам на сите и од мене! Многу здравје, среќа, љубов, само убави работи нека нѝ се случуваат и да го оствариме сето она коешто не успеавме во минатата година. :)--Kiril Simeonovski (разговор) 12:51, 1 јануари 2015 (CET)

Среќна и од мене и повеќе вики-придонеси оваа година--Тиверополник (разговор) 13:02, 1 јануари 2015 (CET)

Happy Public Domain Day!

Logo Public Domain Day

Feel free to translate this message in your language!

On January 1 we celebrate Public Domain Day as many works of authors who died 70+ years ago now enter the public domain and can be used freely.

Let us be aware: copyright is temporary. It only lasts during the authors lifetime and 70 years afterwards (in most countries). During those years it is limiting Wikipedia and her sister projects in showing works of art, literature, public art and buildings in countries without freedom of panorama, and more in the articles. But now a new batch is freed from copyrights!

An overview of images and texts that are restored or added to the Wikimedia Commons, are collected on: this page.

Many of these files still need a place in articles. You can help!

You can also help by uploading new files of subjects that are freed of copyrights.
You can also help by tagging all requests for deletion pages with the category when the file can be restored, which will be/was deleted.

As I follow the log of restored files this week, more images and texts will follow. If still files or texts are missing in the list, let me know or add them yourselves.

A very happy Public Domain Day! Romaine (разговор) 20:08, 1 јануари 2015 (CET)

ВАЖНО: Проверка за активност на администраторите

Здраво. Во 2013 г. со консензус од глобалната заедница беше усвоено правило за одземање на „напредните права“ (администраторски, бирократски и тн). Согласно ова правило, стјуардите сега ја проверуваат активноста на сите Викимедиини викија без свое правило за неактивност. Колку што сме запознаени, вашето вики нема формална постапка за одземање на „напредните права“ од неактивните сметки. Поради тоа, за овој проблем ќе се погрижат стјуардите, во склад со договореното за проверка на администраторска активност.

Утврдивме дека следниве корисници ги задоволуваат условите за неактивност (нема уредувања и дејства во дневниците преку 2 години):

1. Guitardemon666 (администратор)

Овие корисници наскоро ќе добијат известување, во кое ќе им се укаже дека можат да почнат дискусија во заедницата доколку сакаат да си ги задржат правата (сите или некои). Доколку корисниците не се одѕват на ова, тогаш стјуардите ќе им ги одземат напредните права.

Меѓутоа, доколку вие како заедница сакате да направите своја постапка за одземање на права поради неактивност која би ја замениле глобалната, сакате да донесете поинаква одлука за овие неактивни иматели на правата, или пак веќе имате правила кои ги немаме забележано, тогаш би ве замолиле да ги известите стјуардите на Мета за да знаат да не продолжуваат со одземање на правата на вашето вики. Ви благодариме, Rschen7754 07:12, 15 јануари 2015 (CET)

Околу креирање на корисничка страна

Имам мал проблем, ја уредував коричничката страна, си додадов табелите што ги сакав и што веќе се создадени, но кога пробав да зодадам моја (нова) не се појавува како и другите, иако со клик на тектот оди кон слика како што би требало да изледа. Јас лично не можам да креирам слики (треба да се одобрат прво?) или има некаков проблем со кодот? Фала однапред. IvoKostovski (разговор) 14:26, 20 јануари 2015 (CET)

Колку што сфатив сакаш да создадеш некоја нова корисничка кутија. Да, доколку ја нема таа кутија која ти ја сакаш, тогаш мораш да ја создадеш, вообичаено во вид на шаблон се создаваат, погледни ги тие што досега си ги употребил. Моментално кои ги имаме, можеш тука да ги погледнеш. Ако наидеш на проблеми, слободно контактирај ме :) --Ehrlich91 (разговор) 19:24, 20 јануари 2015 (CET)

Opštine u Makedoniji

Ima li neko od kolega mogućnost da mi pošalje tabelarni prikaz (.xls) osnovnih podataka o opštinama u Makedoniji! Imam ideju da napravim članke o svim opštinama u Makedoniji, ja bi napravio jedan model kojim bi automatski napravio sve članke! Za uzvrat mogu (kad završim) vam poslati sličnu tabelu o Austriji, (kolega će da napravi za Švajcarsku), kao i ostalim zemljama! Na sličan sam način napravio članke o Popisu u Srbiji 2011. u svim opštinama, okruzima... Pozdrav svima, a posebno brestu, Ehrlich91 i Kirilu!--АнТони_{(разговор)} 13:17, 11 февруари 2015 (CET)

  Здраво Антони. Таква табела треба да се побара од Завод за статистика или евентуално Министерство за локална самоуправа. Ние немаме при рака. Кога ги работевме овдешните статии, се користеа такви податоци и тие се преземаа со бот, но тоа беше одамна. Преостанува да се заложиме да побараме таков табеларен приказ. Благодарам на интересот и ќе се потрудиме! --Б. Јанкулоски (разговор) 12:17, 13 февруари 2015 (CET)

Albanophobia

Би сакал да им го свртам вниманието на нашите уредници на статијата Albanophobia на англиската вики. Делот за Македонија е многу јасно неврамнотежен, па дури би се рекло, со агенда. Би било добро некој да се позанимава со ова за да ја исправи таа неправда што е зададена таму. --Б. Јанкулоски (разговор) 12:21, 13 февруари 2015 (CET)

Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content

This March, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas for improving gender diversity on Wikimedia projects. Less than 20% of Wikimedia contributors are women, and many important topics are still missing in our content. We invite all Wikimedians to participate. If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive, positive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign and help this project better represent the world’s knowledge!

Feedback request: VisualEditor's special character inserter

I apologize for writing in English. Please translate this message so that all of your editors can read it. Thank you!

Hi everybody, my name is Erica, and I am a Community Liaison at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm writing to you because the Editing team at WMF wants to know what you think about VisualEditor and its new ⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽ tool. This change will affect all users on about 50 Wikipedias, including your Wikipedia. Many editors at these Wikipedias need a special character tool to be able to write articles correctly, which is why we are asking you now.

The new special character inserter tool is available in VisualEditor now. Admins at your wiki can change the contents by following the directions at mediawiki.org.

New design for the special character inserter. The red arrow points to the button for the tool, which is marked with Ω (omega).

To test the ⧼visualeditor-specialcharacterinspector-title⧽ tool, please:

1. Opt-in to VisualEditor by going to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and choosing "Нагледен уредник". Save your preferences.
2. Edit any article or your user page in VisualEditor by clicking on the new "Уреди" tab at the top of the page. See the mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide for information on how to use VisualEditor.
3. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on Mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know what you think about this new design. It is important that they hear from as many editors as possible. You may leave your comments in any language.

When the special character tool has been refined a little more based on your thoughts, we will offer VisualEditor by default to all editors at this wiki. If you want to help prepare, please read the advice on mediawiki.org.

Thank you, Elitre (WMF) (talk) 19:33, 12 март 2015 (CET)

SUL finalization update

Hi all,apologies for writing in English, please read this page for important information and an update involving SUL finalization, scheduled to take place in one month. Thanks. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:45, 13 март 2015 (CET)

VisualEditor coming to this wiki

Hello again. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you can translate this message!

VisualEditor is coming to all editors at this Wikipedia on Monday, March 30th. Нагледен уредник is software that allows people to edit articles without needing to learn wikitext code (like typing [[ to start a link). You don't have to wait until the deployment to test it; you can test Нагледен уредник right now. To turn it on, select "Beta" in your preferences. Choose "Нагледен уредник" and click save.

Now, when you press the "Уреди" button to edit an article, you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press "Уреди извор". (After the deployment, everyone will automatically have the option to use either VisualEditor or the current wikitext editor.) For more information about how to use VisualEditor, see mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide.

More information about preparing for VisualEditor is posted here.

• It's easier to add templates if you've added TemplateData instructions to them.
• Please help translate the pages about VisualEditor here and on MediaWiki.org, and its user interface. See VisualEditor TranslationCentral for general information. To translate the user guide, go to the MediaWiki.org page, and select "Преведете ја страницава". Your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. Once you've done this, you'll see the document in English side by side with any translation work already done in your language. You can add new translations or change old translations. To translate the user interface, you need to create an account at translatewiki.net. Contact me personally if you need help with that.
• We need your help to improve the software! Please let us know if you find any problems. You can report issues in Phabricator, the new bug tracking system or on the central feedback page on MediaWiki.org. If you notice major issues affecting your project, please leave a note on my talk page. If it's an emergency (like an unexpected bug causing widespread problems), reach out to James Forrester, the Product Manager, at jforrester@wikimedia.org or on IRC in the #mediawiki-visualeditor channel.

Пренасочувања

Здраво на сите, сакам да отпочнеме дискусија со можност и за гласање, за конечно да заземеме став во врска со непотребните илјадници пренасочувања направени преку ботот на Брест и конечно да можеме да продолжиме како асална енциклопедија, ослободена од овие непотребни пресочувања, кои во бројка негде се движат околу 750.000 (барем како што јас знам). Пред два месеци еден украински корисник (Base) во дискусија на Селската чешма за странски јазици имаше дискусија (повеќе информации имате тука) и предложи да се нафати со неговиот бот да ги избрише сите овие пренасочувања и затоа сега барам вакво мислење од сите уредници и корисници на Википедија, да заземеме став и некому (може и на Украинецов) да му дадеме овластувања да ги избрише сите овие пренасочувања. Поздрав --Ehrlich91 (разговор) 21:21, 26 март 2015 (CET)

  Јас сметам дека треба да се избришат тие пренасочувања и тоа одамна е бил мој став. --Brainmachine (разговор) 08:35, 27 март 2015 (CET)

  Јас исто сметам дека треба да се избришат сите пренасочувања на википедијата бидејќи само непотребно стојат и на некој начин се спам --Инокентиј (разговор) 09:14, 27 март 2015 (CET)

  Апсолутно треба да се избришат. Ни прават бербат во котирањата, а и заземаат простор. --Б. Јанкулоски (разговор) 23:35, 31 март 2015 (CEST)

  При создавањето на пренасочувањата, Brest тврдеше дека создава база за понатамошно збогатување на проектот Викиречник, но поминаа повеќе од 4 години и ништо не видовме од таа работа. Освен тоа, се покажа дека нема некоја особена корисност од пренасочувањата и тие повеќе му штетат на проектот отколку што му додаваат вредност. Меѓутоа, со масовно бришење на пренасочувањата може да бидат избришани и некои пренасочувања коишто сепак треба да ги има на Википедија (на пр. оригинални називи на градови и држави во оригинал, имиња на личности во оригинал и др.). Сепак, подобро да претрпиме мала штета и целосно да го решиме овој проблем отколку да ги оставиме пренасочувањата и понатаму да бидеме за потсмев.--Kiril Simeonovski (разговор) 00:44, 1 април 2015 (CEST)

  За -Виолетова (разговор) 17:51, 1 април 2015 (CEST)

Со оглед на ставовите, јас ќе пристапам кон комуникација со гореспоменатиот корисник, кој се надевам ќе може да го реши овој проблем. Бојан, се разбира како бирократ ќе треба да додели извесни права на самиот бот што треба да го спроведува ова бришење. --Ehrlich91 (разговор) 19:51, 1 април 2015 (CEST)

Content Translation - Beta feature will be available on 31 March 2015

Hello, Content Translation will be enabled as a beta-feature in the Macedonian Wikipedia on 31 March, 2015. This is in preparation of the Wikimedia CEE Spring editing event. It is currently available on http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation for testing translations into Macedonian. You need to create a new account for this wiki as it is currently not covered by the central authentication system. Once logged in please enable the beta-feature to see the tool. You can translate from any article in the available source languages. Please let us know your comments and feedback through the Content Translation talk page or Phabricator. My apologies for writing this announcement only in English. Please feel free to translate this message for wider distribution. Thank you.--Runab WMF (разговор) 10:10, 30 март 2015 (CEST)

VisualEditor now active here

Click this icon while in VisualEditor for a link to the User Guide.

Hello again (and again, apologies for using English on this page. Please do translate my message, if you can!).

As some of you have noticed, this Wikipedia now has Нагледен уредник (VisualEditor or "VE") enabled for all users. There are now two tabs for editing: "Уреди" and "Уреди извор". Click "Уреди" to use VisualEditor. Click "Уреди извор" to edit using wikitext markup.

All edits using VisualEditor will be tagged with "Tag:Нагледен уредник" in recent changes, watchlists, and page histories. To access the User Guide for VisualEditor, click on the "(?)" icon in VisualEditor's toolbar. If you wish to disable VisualEditor, this can be done under "Editing" in your preferences.

Please report any software "bugs" or errors you find at MediaWiki’s VisualEditor Feedback page. Translations for the user interface and its help guide are still needed: you can learn how to support your community with this and other tasks at this instructions page. Please contact me if you need further help though. Happy editing, User:Elitre (WMF) (talk) 17:09, 30 март 2015 (CEST)

Content Translation beta-feature is now available

Hello, Content Translation has now been enabled as a beta feature on the Macedonian Wikipedia. To start translating, enable the beta feature and go to Специјална:ПреводНаСодржини or to your contributions page and create a new translation by selecting the source language, the article name and target language. If the article already exists then a warning will be displayed. After you translate the article, you can publish it directly as a new page on the Macedonian Wikipedia. In case the article gets created in the Macedonian Wikipedia by another user while you were translating, you will see an option to save the newly published translation under your user namespace. The number of published pages can be seen on the Content Translation stats page.

Since, this is the first time we have installed the tool on this Wikipedia, there are chances that there may be some problems or service disruptions which we are not yet aware of. We will be monitoring the usage to check for any failures or issues, but please do let us know on the Content Translation talk page or through Phabricator if you spot any problems that prevent you from using the tool. For more information, please read the release announcement and our blog post. You can also view a short screencast on how to use Content Translation. My apologies for writing this announcement only in English. Please feel free to translate this message for wider distribution. Thank you.--Runab WMF (разговор) 19:11, 31 март 2015 (CEST)

Stewards confirmation rules

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep. As this is an issue that affects all WMF wikis, I'm sending this notification to let people know & be able to participate. Best regards, --MF-W 18:12, 10 април 2015 (CEST)

VisualEditor News #2—2015

Did you know?

With Citoid in VisualEditor, you click the 'book with bookmark' icon and paste in the URL for a reliable source:

Citoid looks up the source for you and returns the citation results. Click the green "Insert" button to accept its results and add them to the article:

After inserting the citation, you can change it. Select the reference, and click the "Edit" button in the context menu to make changes.

The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's performance, the Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.

The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at 11:00 (noon) PDT (18:00 UTC). You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the Editing team's Q4 blocker project with the bug. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal.

Recent improvements

VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and network speed by almost 40%.

The Editing team is slowly adding auto-fill features for citations. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.

Citoid requires good TemplateData for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.

The special character inserter has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the Phase 5 list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh.

Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use input method editors ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.

The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the "packed" mode in image galleries. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.

You can now drag and drop categories to re-arrange their order of appearance ​on the page.

The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.

Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.

Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (T90734)

Looking ahead

The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted at mediawiki.org.

The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon. (T90666)

Nominations are being accepted for 2015 Wikimedia Foundation elections

This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.

This year, elections are being held for the following roles:

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.

The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.

Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

On behalf of the Elections Committee,

Избори за нови членови во Одборот на Фондацијата Викимедија

Гласајте!

Важно: Од недела (17 мај 2015 г.) започна гласањето за нови членови на Одборот на Фондацијата Викимедија. На гласањето учествуваат 21 кандидат. За жал, нема пријавени македонски претставници, но постои еден кандидат од Источна Европа, односно од Полска. Овие избори се важни, бидејќи можат да го променат односот кон заедниците на Викимедија надвор од САД и Западна Европа и влијанието на стратегијата на движењето. Кого и да го одберете, гласајте!

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core

Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.

There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.

Thank you,
The Pywikibot development team, 19:30, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

VisualEditor News #3—2015

Did you know?

When you click on a link to an article, you now see more information:

The link tool has been re-designed:

There are separate tabs for linking to internal and external pages. The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has created new interfaces for the link and citation tools and fixed many bugs and changed some elements of the design. Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.

A test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors at the English Wikipedia has just completed the first phase. During this test, half of newly registered editors had VisualEditor automatically enabled, and half did not. The main goal of the study is to learn which group was more likely to save an edit and to make productive, unreverted edits. Initial results will be posted at Meta later this month.

Recent improvements

Auto-fill features for citations are available at a few Wikipedias through the citoid service. Citoid takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto⧽, ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual⧽, or ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse⧽). The cite button is now labeled with the word "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "⧼Citoid-citeFromIDDialog-lookup-button⧽", for the submit button.

The link tool has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector. (T98085)

The special character inserter in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list at mediawiki.org. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (T70425)

Several improvements have been made to templates. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽" each time they want to add another parameter. (T95696) The team added a new property for TemplateData, "Пример", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (T53049)

The design of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.

The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of non-existent images. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
• The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Wednesday 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. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the VisualEditor Q4 blocker project with the bug.
• If your Wikivoyage, Wikibooks, Wikiversity, or other community wants to have VisualEditor made available by default to contributors, then please contact James Forrester.
• If you would like to request the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
• The team is planning the second VisualEditor-related "translathon" for July. Please follow this task on Phabricator for details and updates! Announcements will follow in due course.

Subscribe, unsubscribe or change the page where this newsletter is delivered at Meta. If you aren't reading this in your favorite language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Thank you!

HTTPS

Apologies for writing in English.

Hi everyone.

Over the last few years, the Wikimedia Foundation has been working towards enabling HTTPS by default for all users, including unregistered ones, for better privacy and security for both readers and editors. This has taken a long time, as there were different aspects to take into account. Our servers haven't been ready to handle it. The Wikimedia Foundation has had to balance sometimes conflicting goals.

Forced HTTPS has just been implemented on all Wikimedia projects. Some of you might already be aware of this, as a few Wikipedia language versions were converted to HTTPS last week and the then affected communities were notified.

Most of Wikimedia editors shouldn't be affected at all. If you edit as registered user, you've probably already had to log in through HTTPS. We'll keep an eye on this to make sure everything is working as it should. Do get in touch with us if you have any problems after this change or contact me if you have any other questions.

Please join the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon.

It is a translation rally, focused on interface messages and help pages related to VisualEditor. In order to participate, you need to sign up on the Translathon page on TranslateWiki.

The top 3 contributors will each win a Wikipedia t-shirt of their choice from the Wikipedia store. Translations made between July 15th and July 19th (CDT time zone) qualify.

If you are at Wikimania Mexico this year, you are also welcome to join a related sprint during the hackathon in Workplace 1 - Don Américo, Thursday 16 July at 4pm (CDT) at the conference venue, so you can meet other fellow translators and get support if you need some.

Interface messages have the priority. You will need to create an account at translatewiki.net in order to work on them, if you don't have one. It is recommended to create the account ASAP, so that it can be confirmed in time.

You can also help translate documentation pages about VisualEditor on mediawiki.org. You can use your Wikipedia account to work there.

You will find instructions, links and other details on the Translathon page.

Thanks for your attention, and happy translating!

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.

How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

There is a 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 proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (разговор) 07:07, 24 јули 2015 (CEST)
