• The visual editor can generate wikicode with image options in your language. Examples of image options are "thumb" or "left". You can ask to change to options in your language in Phabricator. [1][2]
• Wiktionaries and Wikisources can now use the visual editor. It is an opt-in beta feature. It still needs development to work better with these projects. [3][4]

Problems

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Solicitare sprijin

Dragă Străinu

De vre-un an și jumătate lucrez la proiectul dedicat participării României la WWI. Proiectul a ajuns acum într-o fază suficient de matură și e nevoie să fie ajutat să treacă la nivelul următor. Eu mă ocup de aspectele editoriale și cred că voi putea să stau aproape de țintele prevăzute pentru diferite evaluări de etapă. Consider, totodată, că ar fi bine să existe un coordonator tehnic, care să asigure realizarea acelor aspecte tehnice necesare pentru funcționarea unitară a proiectului. Primul obiectiv ar fi promovarea Portalului la nivelul de AC.

Rugămintea mea e simplă: dorești să îți asumi această postură? Eu cred că nu va fi prea mare consumatoare de timp, dar în același timp înțeleg și faptul că timpul nu dă pe nimeni afară din casă. --Macreanu Iulian (discuție) 17 aprilie 2016 20:24 (EEST)

Da, cu mare plăcere.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  17 aprilie 2016 20:40 (EEST)

Mulțumesc mult! O să fac o pagină de discuție la proiect unde o să pun aspectele tehnice de care m-am lovit, precum și cele care vor apărea ulterior. --Macreanu Iulian (discuție) 17 aprilie 2016 21:44 (EEST)

Am pus pe pagina de discuții tehnice o serie de aspecte peste care te rog să arunci un ochi, să vezi dacă se poate face ceva. --Macreanu Iulian (discuție) 23 aprilie 2016 22:33 (EEST)

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

Problems

• Wikimedia tested a new data center last week. This meant that the wikis could be read but not edited for 45 minutes on April 19 and for 20 minutes on April 21. [15]
• When the data center was tested, new edits were not shown in the recent changes log for 20 minutes. They are in the logs now. You can read more about how to find the edits.
• Unread notifications were sometimes counted incorrectly. This has now been fixed. [16]

Changes this week

• Wikimedia Commons will have better access to Wikidata. They can use data from any page on Wikidata on any page on Commons. This will happen on April 26. [17]
• It will be easier to choose if you want to watch files you have uploaded with the upload wizard. [18]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from April 26. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from April 27. It will be on all wikis from April 28 (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on April 26 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The "Salvare pagină" button when you edit will be called "Publish" instead. This is to help new editors understand what it does. It already works like this on some wikis. [19]

Categorie

Bună dimineața. Ați creat categoria Articole despre Bașchiria la Wikimedia CEE Spring 2016, deși există Articole despre Bașkiria la Wikimedia CEE Spring 2016 (în categoria articolelor despre Rusia). Una din ele ar trebui redirecționată către cealaltă. --Haptokar (discuție) 27 aprilie 2016 06:58 (EEST)

Aaa, era în subcategorie, de aceea n-am găsit-o. Mulțumesc de notificare, dar e nevoie de un pic de magie în format sau actualizarea documentației, în așa fel încât cele 2 să fie în sync sau să se folosească aceeași categorie indiferent ce formă e pusă în format. Eu n-am acces momentan, poate pot rezolva Gikü sau Andrei Stroe. Strainu (دسستي‎)  27 aprilie 2016 09:18 (EEST)

Despre sursa

Buna ziua! Acum câteva ore am primit un mesaj de la dumneavoastră în care îmi spuneați ca trebuie sa fiu neutru când scriu un articol pt ca eu zisesem "din păcate" si ca trebuie sa adaug sursa când scriu un articol. Exact asta este problema pentru că eu nu stiu cum sa adaug sursa. De aceea va întreb daca puteți învata?

Va mulțumesc anticipat Stefan Stefano 2 (discuție) 17 mai 2016 19:32 (EEST)
