Happy Public Domain Day 2016!

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 (aptarimas) 14:38, 2 sausio 2016 (EET)

2016 WMF Strategy consultation

Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą

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, 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! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery (aptarimas) 21:06, 18 sausio 2016 (EET)

Balsavimas dėl taisyklių pakeitimo

Dėl pilnos tvarkos (kad jau liko nepaminėta anksčiau; nors kategorija ir šablonas uždėti) paminėsiu, kad vyksta balsavimas dėl Vikipedija:Balsavimas pakeitimo. --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 03:32, 9 vasario 2016 (EET)

Be temos

Sveiki, aš vis norėjau paklausti, nes kitaip neina, nei per IRC, nei per skype, ką man daryti, jeigu aš esu užblokuotas trims metams, bet kai atsitiktinai randu straipsnį, kur pavyzdžiui straipsnyje Edita Brukštuvienė, ji iš mano kaimo, jos biografijoje buvo padėtas taškas su "space" pvz. "Jos vaikai: Goda Marija ." Ir aš norėjau pataisyti, ir pataisiau. Sakykit, ką tikrai daryti, kur kreiptis, nes nei IRC neveikia, niekas neveikia! O tiesiog aš su IP keitimais, klonais, vis kažko pridedu Vikipedijai, bet kaip patys matote, vis užblokuojamas ir užblokuojamas. Bent jau mane į bandymų dėžutę įdėtų, ir stebėtų kiekvieną veiksnį, gal tada ir nebūčiau užblokuotas. Nes aš kitaip negaliu! Suprantate, man Vikipedijoje rašyti, naršyti labai įdomu, ir noriu vis kurti ir kurti, bet negaliu, nes mano vardą ir IP adresą užblokavo Homo :), o aš juk niekam blogo nenorėjau padaryti, tiesiog nesupratau ir viskas. Dėkui. Jeigu kas, jei kam kiltų noras parašyti mano e-paštas:. Ir IP:83.190.206.97. Labai dėkoju iš anksto.--IP adresas:83.190.206.97

Apgailestauju, tačiau gerų norų toli gražu neužtenka. Niekas čia nesiruošia skirti savo laiko visiems Jūsų keitimams tikrinti ir taisyti. --Homo ^ergaster 15:44, 15 vasario 2016 (EET)

Aš viską puikiai suprantu, kad gerų norų neužtenka, bet juk Jūs visi suaugę žmonės, jūs turite mane suprasti. Juk Jūs ne maži vaikai, kad nueitumėte ir spirtumėte, juk Jūs vistiek, na, neturiu ką ir bepridurti. Ir aš puikiai suprantu, kad niekas visada neturės laiko patikrinti būtent mano keitimų, bet gal kas akį užmes, ir viskas. Aš gal kartais Jūsų nesuprantu, Jūs gal kartais manęs nesuprantat, bet reikia juk kažkaip rasti bendrą išeitį? Ar ne tiesa? Aš tiek pasimokiau per 1.5 met, kad net nežinau! Juokaudamas sakau kitiems, jeigu jau užblokavo, tai reikės savo Vikipediją sukurti :D. Nors čia aišku yra absurdas. Jau lyg ir esu normalus žmogus, visi mane mėgsta, "nu" bet nežinau kodėl man čia niekaip nesiseka.

Žinokit, prisipažinsiu. Juk būtina kiekvienam prisiregistravusiam perskaityti taisykles, ir t.t. O aš iškart ėjau prie straipsnių. Galvojau čia nerimta! Parašiau ant sosnovskio barščio "neprisilieskite ir nebus sužeistujų" ir pan., o pasirodo, kad jau yra tokia informacija, kad jis turi furanokumarino! Neprisimenu, bet gal ir ėjau į taisyklių puslapį, bet dar tada nieko nežinojau, ir nesupratau. Bet aš dabar suvokiau, kad aš "vapšė" viską suvokiu! Man pačiam keista! Nenuostabu, kad nemokėjau konstruktyviai bendrauti. Kodėl pasviruoju šriftu parašiau? Todėl, kad čia blokavimo priežastis! Ir tikrai jeigu būčiau Jūsų, ponas (-ia) Homo vietoje, aš save ne trims metams užblokuočiau, bet galu gale 6, galu gale 9, bet Pats (-i) matote, kad neiškenčiu. Bet blokavimo nustatymuose padaryčiau, kad būtų galima rašyti į aptarimą, "a druh"!--IP adresas:83.190.206.97

Balsavimas dėl administratorių teisių suteikimo taisyklių ir pan.

Pradėtas balsavimas dėl Vikipedija:Biurokratų ir administratorių skyrimas.

Pagal sąrašą iš Vikipedija:Forumas/Archyvas 5#Kategorizavimo taisyklės ir pan., eilėje dar laukia Vikipedija:Botų naudojimas, Vikipedija:Šablonai, Vikipedija:Lietuviškos temos, Vikipedija:Infolentelės. --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 22:40, 21 vasario 2016 (EET)

Datos parašuose

Gal vertėtų bandyti pakeisti parašuose naudojamų datų formatavimą? Dabar rašoma „22:40, 21 vasario 2016“, bet taip nelietuviška. Turėtų būti „2016 m. vasario 21 d. 22:40“ (kaip rašytume straipsniuose) arba „2016-02-21 22:40“ (trumpiau pagal en:ISO 8601). Gal antrasis variantas būtų net patogesnis (paprasčiau paaiškinti prižiūrintiems serverius)?

Štai, pavyzdžiui, latviai naudoja savo datos formatą: „2016. gada 18. janvāris, plkst. 23.17 (EET)“ (lv:Special:Diff/2481773). Ne tik parašuose – net ir puslapių istorijose. Gal ir mes taip galėtume? --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 15:09, 28 vasario 2016 (EET)

Sulietuvinti be diskusijų.--Vilensija (aptarimas) 15:13, 28 vasario 2016 (EET)

Senai reikėjo, bet be administratoriaus teisių tai padaryti neišeis.--Zygimantus (aptarimas) 20:45, 28 vasario 2016 (EET)

Gal administratoriaus teisių taip labai ir nereikės... Susijęs puslapis turbūt bus mw:Date formats. Prašymą pateikti turbūt reikėtų kaip nurodyta mw:How to report a bug. Geriausia, aišku, būtų, jei apsiimtų kas nors, kas ten jau „pažįstamas“... --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 22:39, 29 vasario 2016 (EET)

Wikimania 2016: call for posters, discussions and trainings

Hi people,
the calls for posters, discussions and trainings for Wikimania 2016 are officially opened, you can find all the relevant links on the conference wiki:

https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions

The calls will be closed on March 20.

Posters will be reviewed just to make sure that there aren't things which are too much out of scope. Since we have a whole village we will surely find places to attach them, even if we they will be a lot!

Discussions will be managed by a guiding committee who will work on the wiki to meld all the proposals and suggestions.

Trainings will be reviewed by the programme committee. Please note that we request that each training has at least 3-5 interested attendees in order to be put in the programme.

By the beginning of April we will have a first list of all the accepted proposals.

If you have questions we suggest you to ask them on the discussion pages on wiki, so that everyone will be able to see them (and their answers, of course).

We are looking forward to read your ideas! --Yiyi (aptarimas) 17:39, 29 vasario 2016 (EET)

Completion suggestor

Updates to wiki search auto completion are arriving 10 March

Hello!

Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą. Ačiū!

The 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 try out the feature ahead of the release. Please share any comments on the Completion Suggester discussion page in any language.

To learn more about the work of the Discovery department and other improvements to search, please check out the Wikimedia blog. Read about CirrusSearch, the MediaWiki extension that makes wiki search possible.

Apie citavimą

Sveiki, kaip žinia, šablonas {{Cite web}} buvo pakeistas - jam pritaikytas angliškoje ir kitose Vikipedijose naudojamas citavimo modulis Module:Citation/CS1. Jo privalumai - patogus naujų laukų pridėjimas, kategorizavimas, lokalizavimas ir kiti. Pagrindinės kategorijos internetinėms citatoms stebėti jau yra padarytos (Kategorija:CS1 klaidos ir Kategorija:CS1 priežiūra), vėliau aprašysiu visą citavimo modulį ir šabloną. Jeigu modulis pritaps ir niekas neprieštaraus, tai pakeisime ir {{cite news}} ir galbūt kitus citavimo šablonus. Tad kviečiu prisidėti prie citatų klaidų taisymo! P.S. Module:Citation/CS1/Suggestions puslapyje galima siūlyti įvairius laukus citatoms, galbūt kam nors tai aktualu, jeigu nori sulietuvinti visą citavimą lietuviškoje Vikipedijoje.--Zygimantus (aptarimas) 17:19, 10 kovo 2016 (EET)

Esu priverstas naudotis user:sandbox (visual editor > cite > automatic) angliškoje viki, idant galėčiau automatiškai cituoti. Ar to nebūtų galima automatizuoti ir lt viki? --C.C. vs. C.C. (aptarimas) 09:56, 28 gegužės 2016 (EEST)

Išnašų nurodymas – esminis vikipedijos patikimumo ir pravartumo bruožas.--C.C. vs. C.C. (aptarimas) 09:56, 28 gegužės 2016 (EEST)

Server switch 2016

The 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.
On Thursday, 21 April, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in 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 read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. They will post any changes on that schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 00:07, 18 balandžio 2016 (EEST)

Wikipedia to the Moon

Hello! Sorry that this is in English only, but we are using village pump messaging in order to reach as many language communities as possible. Wrong page? Please fix it here.

This is an invitation to all Wikipedians: Wikimedia Deutschland has been given data space to include Wikipedia content in an upcoming mission to the Moon. (No joke!) We have launched a community discussion about how to do that, because we feel that this is for the global community of editors. Please, join the discussion on Meta-Wiki (and translate this invitation to your language community)! Best, Moon team at Wikimedia Deutschland 18:35, 21 balandžio 2016 (EEST)

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 Lithuanian Wikipedia using Yandex. It can be used when translating Wikipedia articles into Lithuanian 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 an agreement that allows the use of 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 many languages. Details about Yandex translation services, including a summary of the contract are available on this page. More information about the machine translation services in Content Translation is available on this page. We request you to kindly take a look at these pages.

We have tested the service for use on the Lithuanian Wikipedia, but there could be unknown problems that we are not aware of yet. Please do let us know on our Project Talk page or phabricator if you face any problems using Content Translation. This message is only in English and we will be very grateful if it could be translated into Lithuanian for other users of this Wikipedia. Thank you.

Botai

Ką manot apie jų veiklą. Man tai atrodo, kad sukurti kokybišką naują straipsnį yra savotiškai malonu, o dviejų sakinių šabloninai straipsniai paverčia vikipediją nuobodžia dykyne. Be to, iškraipo viki reitingų lentelę, todėl aš į ją nebekreipiu dėmesio, nes sužinojau, jog didžioji dalis Švedų ir dviejų Filipiniečių enciklopedijų straipsnių buvo sukurti automatiškai to paties liūdnai pagarsėjusio veikėjo – en:Lsjbot.

JavaScript

Hi. I can see that this project has old JavaScript that needs to be updated. I would happily make the required updates myself, but I would have to – at least temporarily – become an admin here to do that (because the relevant pages are in the MediaWiki namespace). I have already made these updates on a number of other projects, so it would be very easy for me to do this. If no one does anything, some JavaScript-related tools will break later this year. If you want me to make these updates, you can grant me admin rights and I will make the updates as soon as I can. Nirmos (aptarimas) 08:00, 4 birželio 2016 (EEST)

Compact Links coming soon to this wiki

Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki which you may seen already in Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the coming week for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this message and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. The main announcement can also be translated on this page. Thank you.

Wikipedia to the Moon: invitation to edit

Three weeks ago, you were invited to vote on how to take Wikipedia articles to the Moon. Community voting is over and the winning idea is to send all ‘’featured articles and lists’’ to the Moon. This decision means that, starting today, Wikipedians from all language communities are warmly invited to intensively work on their best articles and lists, and submit them to Wikipedia to the Moon. The central site to coordinate between communities will be Meta-Wiki. You will find an overview and more information there. Hopefully, we will be able to represent as many languages as possible, to show Wikipedia’s diversity. Please feel kindly invited to edit on behalf of your community and tell us about your work on featured content!

Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.

From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages

The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you.

SVARBU: Administratorių aktyvumo patikrinimas

Sveiki. Neseniai global community consensus buvo priimta nauja taisyklė dėl „aukštesnių teisių“ nuėmimo (jūsų bendruomenei buvo pranešta apie šią diskusiją). Pagal šią taisyklę, ūkvedžiai peržiūri administratorių aktyvumą mažesnėse viki. Kiek mes žinome, jūsų viki neturi formalaus proceso „aukštesnių teisių“ nuėmimui neaktyvumo atveju. Tai reiškia, kad ūkvedžiai čia pasirūpins tuo pagal naująjį administratorių aktyvumo patikrinimą.

Mes nustatėme, kad šie naudotojai gali būti laikomi neaktyviais pagal pasirinktus neaktyvumo kriterijus (jokių pakeitimų ar registruojamų specialiųjų veiksmų per daugiau, nei 2 metus):

1. Ausis (administratorius)
2. Lazdynas (administratorius)
3. Mea (administratorius)

Šie naudotojai greitai gaus pranešimus, prašančius juos inicijuoti bendruomenės diskusiją, jei jie norėtų išlaikyti kai kurias ar visas papildomas teises. Jei naudotojai niekaip nesureaguos, ūkvedžiai nuims jų papildomas teises.

Tačiau, jei jūs kaip bendruomenė norėtumėte turėti savą aktyvumo kontrolės procesą vietoje globalaus, jei norėtumėte priimti kitokį sprendimą dėl šių neaktyvių papildomų teisių turėtojų, ar jau turite taisykles, kurių nepastebėjome, prašome informuoti ūkvedžius Meta-Wiki, kad mes žinotume, jog nereikia tęsti šio patikrinimo. Ačiū, Rschen7754 00:09, 17 liepos 2016 (EEST)

Save/Publish

The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Išsaugoti” button to “Išsaugoti” and “Išsaugoti”. “Išsaugoti” will be used when you create a new page. “Išsaugoti” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[2][3]

This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.

If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for “Išsaugoti” and “Išsaugoti”.

The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that “Išsaugoti” would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “Išsaugoti” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem.

Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise.

Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes {{int:Publishpage}} and {{int:Publishchanges}} to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in your account preferences, these wikitext codes produce “Išsaugoti” and “Išsaugoti”.

Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.

Naršyklėmis nerandamas str.

Liepos 9 įkėliau straipsnį Baltų prokalbė, tačiau jis iki šiol įrašius paieškoje nerandamas. Sudariau gana daug vidinių nuorodų susijusiuose straipsniuose. Jis daugiau kaip mėnesį vaiduokliškas, jį įmanoma rasti tik per vidines kitų wiki straipsnių nuorodas. Anksčiau naršyklės pajusdavo naujus straipsnius iškart, per kelias valandas arba ilgiausiai kitą dieną. Ar galėtumėte padėti tai išspręsti? Vakar šį tą įrašiau į wikidata, bet niekas nepasikeitė.--Ed1974LT (aptarimas) 13:40, 20 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Man puikiausiai suranda - čia taip suprantu per Vikipedijos paiešką ieškote? Ar bandėte viename kompiuteryje, su viena naršykle? Pabandykite su kitomis. Ištrinkite naršyklės "cache".--Dirgela (aptarimas) 15:21, 20 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Ne, ne Vikipedijos paieškoje - tiesiog "gūglinant": atsidarai naršyklę, įrašai bet kokį žodį, ir ką internetas tau pagal jį pasiūlo. Pvz., įvedus "Baltų prokalbė" pirmiausia siūlo (randa) Vikipedijos straipsnį "Baltų kalbos" , nevikipedinius "Baltų kalbos ir jų likimai - Šaltiniai", "baltų skilimas - TAUTOS KILMĖ - iš elektroninių knygų serijos LIETUVA", "Nuo indoeuropiečių iki baltų - Šaltiniai", "Įdomūs faktai apie lietuvių kalbą | AirV", "Voruta. The Baltic: Origin of the Indo-European Languages and ..." - randa ir siūlo ką tik nori, bet tik ne "Baltų prokalbė". Gūglindami "Baltų prokalbė" šio straipsnio nuorodos į Vikipediją neras, jis tarsi bendrojoje interneto paieškos sistemoje (ne pačios Vikipedijos vidinėje) tarsi neegzistuoja. Naršyklės supergreitosios atminties saugyklą (cache) esu išvalęs.--Ed1974LT (aptarimas) 16:18, 20 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Firefox, Mac OS, google.com antra–trečia eilutė.--C.C. vs. C.C. (aptarimas) 18:06, 20 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Kad ir kiek ieškočiau pavadinimu "Baltų prokalbė", išmes tik "Baltų kalbos". Tačiau ieškant "Prabaltų kalba" ar kitais apibrėžime esančiais alternatyviais latviškais ir lietuviškais pavadinimais - randa. --Ed1974LT (aptarimas) 21:42, 20 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Google reitingavime padeda nuorodos iš kitų puslapių, taip pat tarpkalbinės nuorodos. Vidinės nuorodos gelbėja nedaug. Straipsnis naujas, į jį kiti puslapiai nuorodų turi nedaug, dėl to jis atsiduria reitingavimo pabaigoje. Indeksuotas jis yra, jei ieškosi "baltų prokalbė Vikipedija" tai rasi iškart. Siūlyčiau kantriai palaukti arba gilintis į SEO subtilybes.--Dirgela (aptarimas) 10:15, 21 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Kodėl šis str. lengvai randamas alternatyviais jo pavadinimais (Prabaltų kalba, Baltu pirmvaloda), bet tik ne antraštiniu? Ar negali būti kažkokios techninės painiavos dėl str. "Baltų kalbos"? Ar galima Vikipedijoje jo pavadinimą padaryti nukreipiamąjį, susieti jį su alternatyviaisiais, jei pagal juos randamas?--Ed1974LT (aptarimas) 17:05, 21 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Sunku pasakyti, bet neatrodo, kad tai būtų kažkokia Vikipedijos klaida. Pabandžiau puslapį nurodyti google indeksavimui rankiniu būdu, palaukime truputį, gal padės. Dėl nukreipimų galima bandyti žaistis, tačiau abejoju ar padės. Pridėjau nukreipimą iš Prabaltų kalba į Baltų prokalbė.--Dirgela (aptarimas) 20:32, 21 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Labai jums ačiū už pagalbą.--Ed1974LT (aptarimas) 21:41, 21 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

bing.com randa ir rodo pirmu numeriu. Google standartiškai slepia panašius puslapius ir "baltų prokalbės" straipsnis yra šito auka. Jei nueisite į paskutinį google paieškos puslapį tai ten rasite tokį tekstą "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 130 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included." Jei paspausite nuorodą straipsnis bus rodomas, tiesa, trečiu numeriu paieškoje. google vis tiek didesnį reitingą skiria straipsniams "baltų kalba" ir "baltų-slavų kalbos". Kodėl nežinau, spėju dėl to kad jie senesni ir į juos yra nuorodų iš kitų svetainių. Žodžiu, kaip pakeisti situacijos greituoju būdu nežinau, bet bent jau bus aišku, kodėl nerodomas įprastinėje google paieškoje.--Dirgela (aptarimas) 19:05, 22 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Aš labai menkai nusimanau apie IT, jei šitą problemą tinka taip pavadinti, dėkingas, kad tuo pasidomėjote. O ar galima kažkai padaryti "kitokesnį" straipsnio pavadinimą, jį "sudvigubinti" toje paieškos sistemoje, pvz., su "Prabaltų kalba" ar lt., "išsukti" jį iš tiktai papildomai rodomųjų?--Ed1974LT (aptarimas) 21:16, 22 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Google.lt nieko neišmeta, google.com (pastarųjų vartotojų ne tiek ir mažai Lietuvoje, tiesą sakant, netgi labai daug [4]) išmeta. Manau, kad google pradės vertint jūsų straipsnį, nes google bendrovė pataikauja Vikipedijai. Kitas dalykas, kuris nulemia gerą vietą google paieškoje tai skaitytojų įsitraukimas (jeigu skaitytojas randa ko ieško, nepalieka svetainės po 1 sekundės, tuomet jūsų straipsnio matomumas didėja). Spėju, kad daug kas dar priklauso ir nuo tarp kalbinių nuorodų vikipedijoje, bet, deja, jų tik trys. O man nepatinka, kai google.lt meta nuorodas į anglišką enciklopediją (pvz., Romuva). Aišku, dėl tos pačios priežasties, kurią paminėjo Dirgela.--C.C. vs. C.C. (aptarimas) 07:25, 23 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Taip, iš tiesų bėdos su tomis naršyklėmis. Išverčiau tokį straipsneliūkštį "Baltijos psalteriumas", jį iškart randa, nors iki tol toks str. tebuvo anglų wiki - naršyklės pajunta tuojau pat. O tas psalteriumas turbūt maža kam girdėtas, manau, jis nėra populiarus paieškos žodis.--Ed1974LT (aptarimas) 16:27, 23 rugpjūčio 2016 (EEST)

Dabar google randa ir rodo straipsnį antru numeriu, panašu, kad reikėjo šiek tiek laiko.--Dirgela (aptarimas) 18:20, 14 rugsėjo 2016 (EEST)

vertimas

Labas, jei savo klausimą pateikiu netinkamoje vietoje prašau ištrinti arba perkelti į tam skirtą vietą. Kas galėtų man paaiškinti, kaip daromi vertimai iš kitų kalbų vikipedijoje? Aš neblogai išsiaiškinau, kaip versti tekstus vokiškoje vikipedijoje, bet nerandu jokio aprašymo lietuviškoje vikipedijoje. Dėkoju iš anksto.

We are having a problem with attackers taking over wiki accounts with privileged user rights (for example, admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, checkusers). It appears that this may be because of weak or reused passwords.

Community members are working along with members of multiple teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address this issue.

In the meantime, we ask that everyone takes a look at the passwords they have chosen for their wiki accounts. If you know that you've chosen a weak password, or if you've chosen a password that you are using somewhere else, please change those passwords.

Wikiexperiments challenge

Dear CEE friends. Sorry for writing you in English only. I would like to inform you that there is an ongoing challenge on increasing the use of 45 scientific experiments (25 in physics and 20 in chemistry) on Wikipedia in the languages spoken within the CEE region. The main goal of the challenge is to provide better illustrations of physical laws and chemical reactions in a unique way with high educational value.

All videos have appropriate descriptions in their specific pages on Wikimedia Commons and are ready to be translated, while there are lists of articles on the project page on Meta where the videos can be used. I can help you with adding the videos to the appropriate articles without descriptions and will be grateful if you help in translating the descriptions (videos about physics experiments have been already added). Please do not hesitate to contact me if any additional explanation is needed. Thanks in advance.--Kiril Simeonovski (aptarimas) 16:09, 21 lapkričio 2016 (EET)

New way to edit wikitext

Summary: There's a new opt-in Beta Feature of a wikitext mode for the visual editor. Please go try it out.

We in the Wikimedia Foundation's Editing department are responsible for making editing better for all our editors, new and experienced alike. We've been slowly improving the visual editor based on feedback, user tests, and feature requests. However, that doesn't work for all our user needs: whether you need to edit a wikitext talk page, create a template, or fix some broken reference syntax, sometimes you need to use wikitext, and many experienced editors prefer it.

Consequently, we've planned a "wikitext mode" for the visual editor for a long time. It provides as much of the visual editor's features as possible, for those times that you need or want wikitext. It has the same user interface as the visual editor, including the same toolbar across the top with the same buttons. It provides access to the citoid service for formatting citations, integrated search options for inserting images, and the ability to add new templates in a simple dialog. Like in the visual editor, if you paste in formatted text copied from another page, then formatting (such as bolding) will automatically be converted into wikitext.

All wikis now have access to this mode as a Beta Feature. When enabled, it replaces your existing wikitext editor everywhere. If you don't like it, you can reverse this at any time by turning off the Beta Feature in your preferences. We don't want to surprise anyone, so it's strictly an opt-in-only Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "Automatiškai įjungti daugumą beta funkcijų".

The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the current wikitext editor). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and vice versa), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work with both editors. We're not planning to get rid of the current main wikitext editor on desktop in the foreseeable future. We're also not going to remove the existing ability to edit plain wikitext without JavaScript. Finally, though it should go without saying, if you prefer to continue using the current wikitext editor, then you may so do.

This is an early version, and we'd love to know what you think so we can make it better. Please leave feedback about the new mode on the feedback page. You may write comments in any language. Thank you.

Invitation to Wikimedia CEE Spring 2017

Sorry for writing in English.

Dear Lithuanian community,

Last year your community participated at CEE Spring in Lithuania and we invite you to participate in this year's contest! Local organisers, please subscribe to the mailing list at https://lists.wikimedia.bg/mailman/listinfo/ceespring-localorganisers, add your community at the Meta page with the participants and discuss this year's edition of the contest on its talk page (Talk:Wikimedia CEE Spring 2017/Participants). There you will also find information on some of the things expected from the local organisers. We are looking forward to reading from you soon!

On behalf of the international organisers, -- Ата (aptarimas) 00:02, 17 sausio 2017 (EET)

Hi! I am from Latvian Wikipedia. Sorry for posting in English. There are different levels how you can participate in CEE Spring. It ranges from just having thematic weeks together with other CEE Spring countries to holding a proper article contest with winners and prizes sponsored by grant from Wikimedia Foundation. Most of the (boring) reporting will be taken care of by international members of CEE community. Local organizer just has to make a contest information page, create a list of Lithuanian topics and optionally award the winners. There will be automated tools provided to gather statistics for each users contributions. There is only one responsible person needed from Lithuania to make it happen. Write me if you are interested. --Papuass (aptarimas) 21:43, 23 sausio 2017 (EET)

Zygimantus, Hugo.arg, are you interested? Can you do it as a part of Mėnesio šalis? --Papuass (aptarimas) 10:48, 13 vasario 2017 (EET)

I can put Balkan region or Eastern Europe (BLR/UKR/European Russia) for May. Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 11:36, 13 vasario 2017 (EET)

For CEE Spring there would be 3 countries per week (or similar) with topic lists provided (you can provide Lithuanian list). Is that too much topics for too short amount of time? It worked quite well for Latvia: see articles created per country during last years contest. --Papuass (aptarimas) 12:18, 13 vasario 2017 (EET)

@Papuass ir Hugo.arg: probably the best solution for our ltwiki would be divide the CEE region into three sub-regions and appoint 1 month (March, April, May) for each sub-region (Mėnesio šalis means „The country of the month“).--Zygimantus (aptarimas) 20:08, 13 vasario 2017 (EET)

Baltic countries already had their month, other regions of CEE (Central Europe, Balkans and Eastern Europe) still not. Sure, we could merge for this occasion all these regions. In "Mėnesio šalis" we deal almost exclusively with geographical topics so if your list will include a lot of personalities or historic articles, it may not be very successful. But well, we could try :) Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 20:15, 13 vasario 2017 (EET)

CEE Spring contest runs from March 21 till May 31. There are various levels of involvement how Lietuva could participate:

• Level 1: help to create a list of topics about Lietuva (10 topics in 10 categories, English article should be decent). Other CEE countries will write about your country.
• Level 2: create contest pages here and promote the contest. There will be 2-3 countries promoted CEE-wide for a week. Promotion includes Central notice banner, various Facebook, Twitter accounts and groups, blog, etc. "Mėnesio šalis" kind of overlaps with it, so it would need to be resolved in a way. If it is acceptable to tag articles by adding template to talk page (like this), statistics can be gathered automatically. There will be some thematic international prizes available for Lithuanians even if you do not do "Level 3".
• Level 3: after the contest decide who were the best participants and award some prizes. You can have up to 400 EUR for that. This can be handled in different ways - one of you can buy prizes and ask for a reimbursement from international organizers (non-profit in Austria) or you can ask them to order prizes online (if it is manageable). Last year in Latvia we used around 200 EUR for prizes in multiple categories, which were valuable books.

Do not hesitate to ask more questions. --Papuass (aptarimas) 14:20, 14 vasario 2017 (EET)

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.

This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.

The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.

Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:

• Update 1 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (15 December 2016)

SVARBU: Administratorių aktyvumo patikrinimas

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc. ) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):

1. Naudotojas:Elnuko
   • last edit: 2014-10-22
   • last log action: 2013-08-02
2. Naudotojas:Pėstininkas
   • last edit: 2014-06-21
   • last log action: 2013-08-11

These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks. -- Avi (aptarimas) 02:52, 16 kovo 2017 (EET)

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)

This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:

Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.

There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:

Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).

Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.

This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?

We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.

• Find out more about the movement strategy process
• Learn more about volunteering to be a Discussion Coordinator

Sincerely,

Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams

angl. Hello. I am a Commons administrator. I came across this photo of Guntis Ulmanis, which was moved to Commons in 2006 but is lacking author and source information. Please could an administrator provide me with the details of the original copy before it was moved. For example, who uploaded it and did they claim it was their own work? In your opinion, could this photo have come from a website? Thank you for your help. Green Giant (aptarimas) 01:31, 5 balandžio 2017 (EEST)

Start of the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections

Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message. This message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.

The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found on Meta-Wiki. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates.

The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC).

We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki.

Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.

The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.

The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.

• April 7 (00:00 UTC) – April 20 (23:59 UTC) – Board nominations
• April 7 – April 20 – Board candidates questions submission period
• April 21 – April 30 – Board candidates answer questions
• May 1 – May 14 – Board voting period
• May 15–19 – Board vote checking
• May 20 – Board result announcement goal

In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:

• Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
  • There are five positions being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

• Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
  • One position is being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.

More information on this year's elections can be found on Meta-Wiki. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the election talk page on Meta-Wiki, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-electionswikimedia.org.

On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee

Sveiki, ar galite paredaguoti straipsnį [[5]]. Aš jį pati sukūriau, bet kadangi esu naujokė reikia pagalbo redaguojant. Išanksto Ačiū – Jonytė

Read-only mode for 20 to 30 minutes on 19 April and 3 May

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data center in Dallas. This will make sure that 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 secondary data center on Wednesday, 19 April 2017. On Wednesday, 3 May 2017, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in 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 20 to 30 minutes on Wednesday, 19 April and Wednesday, 3 May. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 20 April and Thursday 4 May).
• 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 code freezes for the weeks of 17 April 2017 and 1 May 2017. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

Wikidata description editing in the Wikipedia Android app

Wikidata description editing is a new experiment being rolled out on the Wikipedia app for Android. While this primarily impacts Wikidata, the changes are also addressing a concern about the mobile versions of Wikipedia, so that mobile users will be able to edit directly the descriptions shown under the title of the page and in the search results.

We began by rolling out this feature several weeks ago to a pilot group of Wikipedias (Russian, Hebrew, and Catalan), and have seen very positive results including numerous quality contributions in the form of new and updated descriptions, and a low rate of vandalism.

We are now ready for the next phase of rolling out this feature, which is to enable it in a few days for all Wikipedias except the top ten by usage within the app (i.e. except English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Turkish, and Chinese). We will enable the feature for those languages instead at some point in the future, as we closely monitor user engagement with our expanded set of pilot communities. As always, if have any concerns, please reach out to us on wiki at the talk page for this project or by email at reading@wikimedia.org. Thanks!

New Page previews feature

New Page previews feature

Read this message in another language • Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą

Hello,

The Reading web team at the Wikimedia Foundation has been working to enable Page previews, a beta feature known previously as Hovercards, as opt-in behavior for logged-in users and the default behavior for logged-out users across Wikipedia projects. Page previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. For this project, we are expecting to collect feedback over the following few weeks and tentatively enable the feature in early May, 2017.

A quick note on the implementation:

• For logged-in users who are not currently testing out the beta feature, Page previews will be off by default. Users may turn them on from their user preferences page.
• For logged-out users, the feature will be on by default. Users may disable it at any time by selecting the setting cog available in each preview.
• For users of the Navigation popups gadget, you will not be able to turn on the Page previews feature while using navigational popups. If you would like to try out the Page preview feature, make sure to first turn Navigation popups off prior to turning Page previews on.

You can read more about the feature and the tests we used to evaluate performance, try it out by enabling it from the beta features page, and leave feedback or questions on the talk page.

Thank you, MediaWiki message delivery (aptarimas) 19:52, 19 balandžio 2017 (EEST)

Tytuvėnų bažnyčia ir vienuolynas

Jūs neteisingai pateikiate istoriją apie šią bažnyčią. Šita bažnyčia buvo bernardinų, o vienuolynas bernardinų vienuolių seserijos,kuriame XX a. pradžioje apsigyveno prancūzų vienuolės su motinėle. Visa teritorija bažnyčios, vienuolyno pastatas priestatas ir labai mažas. Bažnyčia susideda iš dviejų religinių apeigos kultūrų, bažnytinės, ir koplytinės nuodėmių išpirkimo ir kt. dalykų. Keliais reikia lipti ne tik koplyčios laiptais išperkant savo juodas nuodėmes, bet šliaužti keliais ratais aplink bažnyčios kiemelį. Taip išperkamos šioje bažnyčioje pačios juodžiausios nuodėmės ir karma. Bažnyčia kažkada buvo labai turtinga, kur jos turtai dabar ir kodėl jie neinvestuoti ir neaugina bažnyčiai pelno čia kitas reikalas. Vienuolyne pati gyvenau dvi vasaras, visą vienuolyną išstudijavau, radom daug slaptų įėjimų ir perėjų. Grindys visada buvo medinės ir jos turi paslaptį, kai jomis eina savas ar patikimas žmogus jos netraška, kai jomis eina priešas ar nepatikimas žmogus jos džergia, kai eina kunigas taip pat girdisi. Mes išstudijavome bažnyčios ir vienuolyno architektūrą, tikrai ne barokas, baroko stilių lengviausia atpažinti iš visų stilių. Bažnyčia pastatyta pagal Galilėjaus matematiką ir fiziką, vienuolyno celėse dėl šitų priežasčių gali dėtis įdomūs dalykai. Pasmus taip buvo, kai gyvenom. Antrame aukšte celėse atsirado spynos kai į vienuolyną atsikraustė prancūzės vienuolės, ten buvo padaryti jų bausmių kambariai. Kad man Dievas atleistų ir visi šventieji, prieisiu išpažintį,kad sielai būtų ramiau, vaikystėj nuo vienų slaptų durų raktą mes paslepėm, kad vaiduokliai nevaikščiotų, kur neatsimenam, tik tiek, kad prie pat durų. Gal jau kas ir rado.

Beta Feature Two Column Edit Conflict View

From May 9, the Two Column Edit Conflict View will be available as a beta feature on all wikis. The Two Column Edit Conflict View is a new interface for the edit conflict resolution page. It highlights differences between the editor's and the conflicting changes to make it easy to copy and paste pieces of the text and resolve the conflict. The feature fulfils a request for a more user-friendly edit conflict resolution from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well!

Prototype for editing Wikidata infoboxes on Wikipedia

Hello,

I’m sorry for writing in English. It’d be great if someone could translate this message if necessary.

One of the most requested features for Wikidata is to enable editing of Wikidata’s data directly from Wikipedia, so the editors can continue their workflow without switching websites.

The Wikidata development team has been working on a tool to achieve this goal: fill and edit the Wikipedia infoboxes with information from Wikidata, directly on Wikipedia, via the Visual Editor.

We already asked for feedback in 2015, and collected some interesting ideas which we shared with you in this thesis. Now we would like to present to you our first prototype and collect your feedback, in order to improve and continue the development of this feature.

We present this work to you very early, so we can include your feedback before and all along the development. You are the core users of this feature, so we want to make sure that it fits your needs and editing processes.

You will find the prototype, description of the features, and a demo video, on this page. Feel free to add any comment or feedback on the talk page. The page is currently not translated in every languages, but you can add your contribution by helping to translate it.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to follow all the discussions on Wikipedia, so if you want to be sure that your feedback is read, please add it on the Wikidata page, in your favorite language. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks, Lea Lacroix (WMDE)

RevisionSlider

RevisionSlider will be available as a default feature for all users on all wikis from May 17. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page so that you can easily move between revisions. The slider view is collapsed by default, and will load by clicking on it. It can also be turned off entirely in the user preferences. RevisionSlider has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia for 6 months and a beta feature on all wikis for 8 months. The feature fulfills a wish from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Thanks to everyone who tested RevisionSlider and gave valuable feedback to improve the feature! We hope that RevisionSlider will continue to serve you well in your work.

New notification when a page is connected to Wikidata

Hello all,

(Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą)

The Wikidata development team is about to deploy a new feature on all Wikipedias. It is a new type of notification (via Echo, the notification system you see at the top right of your wiki when you are logged in), that will inform the creator of a page, when this page is connected to a Wikidata item.

You may know that Wikidata provides a centralized system for all the interwikilinks. When a new page is created, it should be connected to the corresponding Wikidata item, by modifying this Wikidata item. With this new notification, editors creating pages will be informed when another editor connects this page to Wikidata.

This feature will be deployed on May 30th on all the Wikipedias, excepting English, French and German. This feature will be disable by default for existing editors, and enabled by default for new editors.

This is the first step of the deployments, the Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects will follow in the next months.

If you have any question, suggestion, please let me know by pinging me. You can also follow and leave a comment on the Phabricator ticket.

Thanks go to Matěj Suchánek who developed this feature!

Ačiū! Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk)

m:Requests for comment/Global centralnotice for the blockade of the Turkish government

Hi, you are invited to participate in the discussion on the proposal to make a banner through m: centralnotice to inform more people around the world about what the Turkish government has done about Wikipedia, ie all the language versions of Wikipedia are You are obscured, so in Turkey it is impossible to view the * .wikipedia.org site. To hope that the Turkish government will remove the block, it is necessary to raise awareness of this fact around the world because it is important to succeed in this mission because Wikipedia can not be seen in Turkey. With this message also for those interested, I invite him to sign the Wikimedian appeal.

If you have any questions or questions do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks best regards. --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 00:44, 4 birželio 2017 (EEST)

Specialusis grupės NKVD

Geros dienos! Galbūt kažkas iš bendruomenės, kurie domisi lietuvių vertimas iš Ukrainos Vikipedijos straipsnio "Specialieji grupių NKVD." Straipsnis gavo statusą "gera." Dabar yra pagrindiniame puslapyje Ukrainiečių Wikipedia. Gal kas nors taip pat parašė straipsnį apie specialiojo NKVD grupės Baltijos šalyse ar Lietuvoje. Pasistengsiu išversti į ukrainiečių. Pagarbiai, ROMANTYS.

Accessible editing buttons

The MediaWiki developers have been slowly improving the accessibility of the user interface. The next step in this transition will change the appearance of some buttons and may break some outdated (non-updated or unmaintained) user scripts and gadgets.

You can see and use the old and new versions now. Most editors will only notice that some buttons are slightly larger and have different colors.

• Comparison of old and new styles
• 
  Buttons before the change
• 
  Buttons after the change

However, this change also affects some user scripts and gadgets. Unfortunately, some of them may not work well in the new system. If you maintain any user scripts or gadgets that are used for editing, please see mw:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons for information on how to test and fix your scripts. Outdated scripts can be tested and fixed now.

This change will probably reach this wiki on Tuesday, 18 July 2017. Please leave a note at mw:Talk:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons if you need help.

Page Previews (Hovercards) update

Hello,

A quick update on the progress of enabling Page Previews (previously named Hovercards) on this project. Page Previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. As mentioned in December we're preparing to remove the feature from Beta and make it the default behavior for logged-out users. We have recently made a large update to the code which fixes most outstanding bugs.

Due to some issues with our instrumentation, we delayed our deployment by a few months. We are finally ready to deploy the feature. Page Previews will be off by default and available in the user preferences page for logged-in users the week of July 24th. The feature will be on by default for current beta users and logged-out users. If you would like to preview the feature, you can enable it as a beta feature. For more information see Page Previews. Questions can be left on the talk page in your preferred language.

Thank you again.

Improved search in deleted pages archive

Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą

During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.

Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).

We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki. Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0 in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0

Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.

Adding content namespaces to search results

Prašome padėti išversti į jūsų kalbą

Hello,

Currently, when you search on this wiki, the search results only return certain namespaces. It has recently been noticed that the "main content namespaces" list doesn't match the "default search namespaces" list on this wiki. (phab:T170473)

Currently this wiki's search returns the main namespace and Vikisritis. The content namespace Sąrašas is also available if the community thinks that adding this namespaces is appropriate.

Would this community like to discuss adding Sąrašas to the search results? I am more than happy to help make the change however the community decides.

RfC regarding "Interlinking of accounts involved with paid editing to decrease impersonation"

There is currently a RfC open on Meta regarding "requiring those involved with paid editing on Wikipedia to link on their user page to all other active accounts through which they advertise paid Wikipedia editing business."

Note this is to apply to Wikipedia and not necessarily other sister projects, this is only to apply to websites where people are specifically advertising that they will edit Wikipedia for pay and not any other personal, professional, or social media accounts a person may have.

Please comment on meta. Thanks. Send on behalf of User:Doc James.

Discussion on synced reading lists

Discussion on synced reading lists

Hello,

The Reading Infrastructure team at the Wikimedia Foundation is developing a cross-platform reading list service for the mobile Wikipedia app. Reading lists are like bookmark folders in your web browser. They allow readers using the Wikipedia app to bookmark pages into folders to read later. This includes reading offline. Reading lists do not create or alter content in any way.

To create Reading Lists, app users will register an account and marked pages will be tied to that account. Reading List account preferences sync between devices. You can read the same pages on different mobile platforms (tablets, phones). This is the first time we are syncing preference data between devices in such a way. We want to hear and address concerns about privacy and data security. We also want to explain why the current watchlist system is not being adapted for this purpose.

Background

In 2016 the Android team replaced the simple Saved Pages feature with Reading Lists. Reading Lists allow users to bookmark pages into folders and for reading offline. The intent of this feature was to allow "syncing" of these lists for users with many devices. Due to overlap with the Gather feature and related community concerns, this part was put on hold.

The Android team has identified this lack of synching as a major area of complaint from users. They expect lists to sync. The iOS team has held off implementing Reading Lists, as syncing was seen as a "must have" for this feature. A recent technical RfC has allowed these user stories and needs to be unblocked. Initially for Android, then iOS, and with web to potentially follow.

Reading lists are private, stored as part of a user's account, not as a public wiki page. There is no sharing or publishing ability for reading lists. No planned work to make these public. The target audience are people that read Wikipedia and want to bookmark and organize that content in the app. There is a potential for the feature to be available on the web in the future.

Why not watchlists

Watchlists offer similar functionality to Reading Lists. The Reading Infrastructure team evaluated watchlist infrastructure before exploring other options. In general, the needs of watchlists differ from Reading Lists in a few key ways:

• Reading lists focus on Reading articles, not the monitoring of changes.
• Watchlists are focused on monitoring changes of pages/revisions.
  • The Watchlist infrastructure is key to our contributor community for monitoring content changes manually and through the use of automated tools (bots). Because of these needs, expanding the scope of Watchlists to reading purposes will only make the project harder to maintain and add more constraints.
• By keeping the projects separate it is easier to scale resources. We can serve these two different audiences and prioritize the work accordingly. Reading Lists are, by their nature, less critical to the health of Wikipedia/MediaWiki.
• Multi-project support. Reading Lists are by design cross-wiki/project. Watchlists are tied to specific wikis. While there have been many discussion for making them cross-wiki, resolution is not in the near term.

More information can be found on MediaWiki.org where feedback and ideas are welcome.

Thank you

presenting the project Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory and asking for a vounteer in Lietuvių Wikipedia

Hello everyone,

My name is Marc Miquel and I am a researcher from Barcelona (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). While I was doing my PhD I studied whether an identity-based motivation could be important for editor participation and I analyzed content representing the editors' cultural context in 40 Wikipedia language editions. Few months later, I propose creating the Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory in order to raise awareness on Wikipedia’s current state of cultural diversity, providing datasets, visualizations and statistics, and pointing out solutions to improve intercultural coverage.

I am presenting this project to a grant and I expect that the site becomes a useful tool to help communities create more multicultural encyclopaedias and bridge the content culture gap that exists across language editions (one particular type of systemic bias). For instance, this would help spreading cultural content local to Lietuvių Wikipedia into the rest of Wikipedia language editions, and viceversa, make Lietuvių Wikipedia much more multicultural. Here is the link of the project proposal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikipedia_Cultural_Diversity_Observatory_(WCDO)

I am searching for a volunteer in each language community: I still need one for the Lietuvių Wikipedia. If you feel like it, you can contact me at: marcmiquel *at* gmail.com I need a contact in your every community who can (1) check the quality of the cultural context article list I generate to be imported-exported to other language editions, (2) test the interface/data visualizations in their language, and (3) communicate the existance of the tool/site when ready to the language community and especially to those editors involved in projects which could use it or be aligned with it. Communicating it might not be a lot of work, but it will surely have a greater impact if done in native language! :). If you like the project, I'd ask you to endorse it in the page I provided. In any case, I will appreciate any feedback, comments,... Thanks in advance for your time! Best regards, --Marcmiquel (aptarimas) 00:26, 10 spalio 2017 (EEST) Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona

ką daryti jeigu bandant įkelti straipsnį rašo, kad yra keiksmažodžių?

sveiki, rašau straipsnį apie japonišką kiną, bet niekaip negaliu jo išsaugoti, vis iššoka langas, kad yra keiksmažodžių. ar gali būti kad sistema japoniškus žodžius ir jų transkripcijas fiksuoja kaip kenksmingus? prašau padėkit kas nors ... :(

@Brigitad123: Tiksliai nežinau, kaip šis filtras veikia ir kaip jį „apeiti“ šiuo atveju (tikėtina, kad transkripcijos atpažįstamos kaip keiksmažodžiai, @Homo ergaster:, gal Jūs galite padėti?). Kol kas Jūsų tekstą perkėliau į Naudotojas:Brigitad123/Juodraštis, mėginkite jį redaguoti ten, jei ir toliau nesiseks – praneškite. Powermelon (aptarimas)

Filtrą laikinai išjungiau. Reikės pasigilinti, kas konkrečiai šiuo atveju užkliuvo. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 11:19, 20 lapkričio 2017 (EET)

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers

The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.

Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.

For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.

The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.

Ačiū!
