TBMM tutanakları

Merhabalar,

Bir süredir Türkçe projelerimizin genel durumunu inceliyorum. Genel olarak farklı WMF projelerinin dillerarası sıralamalarında Türkçe olarak yerimiz aşağı yukarı bellidir, bazen 10 küsürlerde, çoğunlukla da 20 küsürlerde oluruz. Ancak Vikikaynak'ta dikkatimi çeken, an itibarıyla 65 Vikikaynak arasında 45. durumda olmamız oldu. Şu kalıcı bağlantıdan bu gönderiyi yazdığım andaki durumu görebilirsiniz. 2941 maddeye sahibiz.

Vikipedi'ye ilk üye olduğum günleri saymazsak, madde sayısı yarışlarına pek yüzvermişliğim yoktur. Ancak Vikikaynak'ın kapsamı belli, zaten hazır metinlerin biriktirilmesi üzerine bir proje. Dolayısıyla burada madde sayısı yarışına girilmesini Vikipedi'de olduğu gibi sağlıksız bulmuyorum, zira niteliksiz bir üretim riski söz konusu değil.

Türkçe Vikikaynak'ın potansiyelini sınırlayan bir unsur var: Devrim geçirmiş ve alfabe değiştirmiş bir dilin konuşucularıyız. Bu devrim 1932 yılında oldu ve kamu malı olan metinler de zaten 1923 öncesinde üretilmiş metinler. Arap alfabesiyle yazılmış metinler de ancak Osmanlıca Vikikaynak'ın kapsamına giriyor (Vikiyazar ve Tarih dışında o projeyle ilgilenen çıkmadı, ancak orada muhteşem bir potansiyel var bu arada). Kamu kurumlarının ürettiği eserler de ABD'de olduğu gibi otomatik olarak kamu malı olmuyor, dolayısıyla an itibarıyla 609.626 maddeye sahip olan İngilizce Vikikaynak'la yarışma şansımız zaten yok. Vikikaynakların ikinci bir üretim yöntemi de çeviridir; ancak insangücümüz azken o da şu an için gerçekçi bir hedef gibi görünmüyor.

Bu duruma bir çözüm bulabilmek için uzunca bir süredir açıp göz gezdirmediğim Fikir ve Sanat Eserleri Kanununu yeniden taradım ve kamu malı olduğu açıkça belirtildiği için bize sunulmuş en makul seçenek olan nutuk/söylev tipi konuşmaların ilerlemek için en mantıklı yol olduğuna kanaat getirdim. 23 Nisan 1920'den günümüze, yani 97 yıllık TBMM tutanakları kurumun sitesinde yer alıyor ve bunları Vikikaynak'a ekleme hakkımız var. İlk dönem tutanakları dergilerden OCR yöntemiyle taranmış, dolayısıyla kopyala-yapıştır işlemlerinde bozulmalar oluyor; ancak yakın dönemin tutanakları kopyala-yapıştırla sorunsuz aktarılabiliyor.

Ancak elbette bu metinleri kuru kuru kopyala-yapıştır yapmanın da pek verimli olmayacağı açıktı. Bunun için çevrimiçi sohbet ekranlarından ve konuşma balonlarından ilham alarak kendimce bir tasarım yapmaya çalıştım ve ilk meclis toplantısını örnek sayfa olarak hazırladım:

• TBMM Tutanakları/1. Dönem/1. Yasama Yılı/1. Birleşim/1. Oturum

Sayfa, Şablon:Tutanak kullanılarak biçimlendiriliyor. Şablon kullanımı, gerekirse geriye dönük olarak tüm sayfalarda toplu ve verimli değişiklikler yapabilmek için de ideal (daha sade bir tasarıma da itirazım olmaz). Mobil sitelerde bazı görüntüleme sorunları olabilir, ancak bunları zamanla gideririz. Metnin içindeki eski sözcükleri de Şablon:Vs ile Vikisözlük'e bağladım (an itibarıyla yalnızca oturum başkanının ilk konuşmasını yaptım). Bu da erişilebilirliği artıracaktır.

Tutanaklar, öncelikle dönemlere ayrılıyor, dönemler de yasama yıllarına. Malumunuz olduğu üzere 97 yasama yılı var. Bu yasama yıllarının altında ortalama 150'şer birleşim var sanıyorum. Oturumlar da aşağı yukarı birleşim başına 5'er tane. Bu da çok kaba bir hesaplamayla 70-75 bin madde kazandırabilir bize. Oturumları bölmek zorundayız, çünkü 350 sayfa tutanağı olan birleşimler var. Tek sayfada tutulması hiç pratik değil.

Bu atılım, rahatlıkla 11. sıraya yükselmemizi sağlayacaktır. Belki de Arapçayı da geçebiliriz. Onu bunu geçmek çok da önemli değil zaten, önemli olan projemize bir atılım yaptırarak canlanmasını sağlamak. Bu şekilde düzenlenmiş bir içerik siteye trafik de çekebilir diye düşünüyorum. Bu maddeyle bir başlangıç yapmak istedim. Biraz daha oturunca her şey, Vikipedi'de duyuru yapıp konuya heves duyacak kullanıcıları da davet etmeyi düşünüyorum. Zaten belirttiğim gibi, son dönemin tutanakları çok daha kolay eklenebilecek. Eskiler sorunlu daha ziyade.

Açıklama biraz uzun oldu ve @Cobija'dan başka da kimse yok projede gerçi şu an için. :) Yine de bunu görenler geribildirim verebilirse çok sevinirim.

Vito Genovese 18:29, 18 Mart 2017 (UTC)

Çok güzel çalışma, aklına eline sağlık. Bu aralar yoğun olduğumdan icabet edemeyeceğim maalesef, elim rahatladığında da ilk iş Nutuk'u tamamlayacağım. Yalnız bunu iş birliği projesi haline getirip -ilk projemiz de olmuş olur- Vikipedi'de de duyursak bir ilerleme kaydedilebilir gibi. Bir de Tutanak şablonunun belgelemesi olsa fena olmazdı sanki? --Cobija (mesaj) 06:25, 19 Mart 2017 (UTC)

Evet, ortaklaşa çalışmak çok verimli olur. Eksik olan sayfa başlığı gibi şablonlar da hazır olup neyin nasıl yapılacağı oturunca çağıralım mutlaka. Belgelemeyi de yazacağım tabii, o olmadan işimiz zor. :)

Vito Genovese 10:34, 19 Mart 2017 (UTC)

Çok güzel olmuş @Vito Genovese, ellerine sağlık. — Pınar ^[m] 12:22, 24 Nisan 2017 (UTC)

• @Vito Genovese, müthiş fikir, müthiş tasarım! On/off şeklinde ilgileniyorum bu projeyle, geçmişte siyasi liderlerin söylevlerini parti ve bakanlık resmi sitelerinden derleme çalışmalarım oldu, bu sayede 15-20 yıl sonra bu içerik resmi sitelerden kalkmış durumdayken burasının çok hoş bir arşiv niteliği kazanacağını düşünüyorum. Meclis tutanakları da bu doğrultuda oldukça olumlu bir girişim. Bunların telif durumuyla ilgili hazırladığım bir de şablon var Şablon:FSEK-32 diye. Farklı türde eklemeler yapmak için de kullanıcı sayfamda oluşturduğum listenin bir bağlantısını vereyim, şu çalışmaya ve şu şablona da işaret edeyim. --82 ~145 ileti 23:00, 29 Nisan 2017 (UTC)

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

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)

Vikipedi'ye erişim engeli

Vikipedi'deki erişim engeline, erişimi açık bu kardeş projenin sitenotice'inden tepki vermeyi, kullanıcı grubunun açıklamasını paylaşmayı öneriyorum. --82 ~145 ileti 23:03, 29 Nisan 2017 (UTC)

Kardeş projede bunun uygun olacağını düşünüyorum. 2015'teki madde bazında engel sırasında yayınlanan duyurunun uyarlanmış halini hızlı reaksiyon vermek adına yayınladım. (gerçi ne kadar hızlı olduğu da tartışma konusu.) Son zamanlarda burada aktif olan kullanıcılar (@Seksen iki yüz kırk beş, @Pinar, @Vito Genovese ve @Iskenderbalas) duyurunun tasarımı ya da metniyle ilgili itiraz belirtirlerse değişiklik yapabiliriz. --Cobija (mesaj) 09:47, 30 Nisan 2017 (UTC)

Bir satır azaltmaya çalışırsak biraz daha kompakt ve iyi durabilir. "Türkiye'deki kullanıcıların erişimine" yerine "Türkiye'den erişime" olsa örneğin. Üçüncü sözcük olan "olan" çıksa bir de. İlk gözüme çarpanlar üzerinden naçizane önerim.

Vito Genovese 15:00, 30 Nisan 2017 (UTC)

Evet, bir satır azalttık. --Cobija (mesaj) 15:05, 30 Nisan 2017 (UTC)

Metin sayısı göstergesi

Yukarıda Vito metin sayısından bahsetmiş. Vikikaynak'ın büyüklüğüyle ilgili metin sayısının anlamlı bir ölçü olduğunda hemfikirim. Bu nedenle bu konudaki teknik bir sıkıntıdan dem vurmak isterim.

Nedense mevcut sayfalarda, sanıyorum ki şablon yoksa metin sayısının içinde görünmüyor. Tekrardan bu konuyla deneme yapmak için Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi'nin ön savunması sayfasına Eser şablonu ekledim, metin sayısı 2.947'den 2.948'e çıktı. Denemek isteyen Ergenekon iddianamesinden bakabilir, bunların önemli bir kısmı da yok sayılıyor sanırım (ama türküler sayılmıyor sanırım nedense). Ta 2011 yılında 5000 metne ulaştığımızı kutlamışım köy çeşmesinden. Arada telif hakkı ihlali oluşturan pek çok metin silindi, Mesnevi gibi sayfalar silindi; ama metin sayımızın bu denli düşmesini bunlar açıklayamaz, bu durum baş gösterdiğinde verilerde ciddi bir düşüş yaşandığını hatırlıyorum. Düzeltilebilir mi, nasıl düzeltilir bilemem; ama tam bulunduğumuz noktayı görmemiz ve verilen emeği tam yansıtması açısından çok yararlı olur; çünkü binlerce metinlik bir fark söz konusu... Cobija'yı da pingleyeyim. --82 ~145 ileti 21:59, 3 Mayıs 2017 (UTC)

API sorgusu 5.644 kayıt dönmekte; {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} kullanıldığında ise 3.810 sayısı görünmekte. Sorun Mediawiki yazılımından kaynaklanıyor gibi. --Superyetkin (mesaj) 14:05, 7 Mayıs 2017 (UTC)

mw:Manual:$wgAllowSlowParserFunctions yi nasıl açılıyorsa açıp, bir de {{PAGESINNAMESPACE:0}} den bakalım. trwiki'nin aksine burada madde isim alanında bir sürü alt sayfa var, ve birçok alt sayfanın başlığında büyük İ'ler büyük Ş'ler var. Alt sayfaların belki de sayılmıyor olmasının yanında, Unicode tanımlaması da sıkıntı yaratıyor olabilir. --Bulgu (mesaj) 22:44, 7 Mayıs 2017 (UTC)

İngilizce Vikikaynak'ta şöyle bir şablon oluşturulmuş. Sorun çözülene dek biz de aynı yöntemi uygulayabiliriz. --Superyetkin (mesaj) 18:30, 8 Mayıs 2017 (UTC)

@Superyetkin, bu sayıyı güncelleyecek bot var mı? Şimdilik oluşturduğun şablonu koydum anasayfaya. --Cobija (mesaj) 19:10, 8 Mayıs 2017 (UTC)

YBot'u bu iş için kullanacağım. Güncelleme için teşekkürler. --Superyetkin (mesaj) 19:13, 8 Mayıs 2017 (UTC)

meta:Article counts revisited sayfasına göre 29 Mart 2015 tarihine kadar tüm Wikimedia projelerinde madde sayısı yanlış hesaplanıyormuş. Doğrusunu veren için mw:Manual:updateArticleCount.php betiğini çalıştırmak gerekiyor. Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wikiversity ve Wikivoyage'larda madde sayısı güncellemesini yeniden ve doğru şekilde hesaplatacak bu betik, o zaman çalıştırılmış ve o zamandan beri de ayda bir çalıştırılıyor. Ama bu düzeltme Vikikaynak ve Commons gibi projelerde yapılmamış. Şu an Vikikaynak eski ve yanlış değer veren hesaplama sistemini kullanıyor. Eğer Vikikaynaklarda bu kodun çalıştırılmamasında algoritmik bir neden yoksa, kimin bu betiği Türkçe Vikikaynak için çalıştırabileceğini öğrenip, güncelletelim.

Yukarıda üretilmiş şablonda bence sabit değer yerine, şöyle yapalım {{formatnum:{{#expr: 5644 - 2949 + {{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}|R}}}}}} (1000 ile çarpmak bölmek yerine formatnum daha iyi). Şu an için bu değer 6.505. Bu kod ile madde eklendikçe güncelleme olacaktır. Eski ve yanlış değer veren algoritmanın azizliği yüzünden bu güncellemenin arada bir kontrol edilmesi gerekecektir; örneğin maddeler yönlendirmeye çevirilince numberofarticles'ta değişim olmuyor, aslında azalması lazım. Ayda bir bu değerleri (botlarla ya da kendimiz) güncelleriz (5644 yerine o anki gerçek madde sayısı, 2949 yerine gözüken madde sayısı). --Bulgu (mesaj) 23:12, 8 Mayıs 2017 (UTC)

Oops, burası Wikisource, ama niyeyse o betik çalıştırılmıyor gibi. --Bulgu (mesaj) 00:50, 9 Mayıs 2017 (UTC)

@Superyetkin, YBot da bozuldu :/ --Cobija (mesaj) 22:35, 19 Eylül 2017 (UTC)

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!

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.

Improved search in deleted pages archive

Lütfen kendi dilinize çevirmeye yardım edin.

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.

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, 1 August 2017. Please leave a note at mw:Talk:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons if you need help.

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.

Teşekkürler!

AdvancedSearch

From May 8, AdvancedSearch will be available as a beta feature in your wiki. The feature enhances the search page through an advanced parameters form and aims to make existing search options more visible and accessible for everyone. AdvancedSearch is a project by WMDE Technical Wishes. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well in your work!

Update on page issues on mobile web

Update on page issues on mobile web

Lütfen kendi dilinize çevirmeye yardım edin. Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.

So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:

• The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
• Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
• Readers care about page issues and consider them important
• Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues

Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

New user group for editing sitewide CSS / JS

(Lütfen kendi dilinize çevirmeye yardım edin.)

Hi all!

To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.) A new user group, interface-admin, has been created. Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage).

You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.

Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).

Thanks!

Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now

(Lütfen kendi dilinize çevirmeye yardım edin.)

Hi all,

as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (Arayüz yöneticileri) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.

Thanks!

Sitewide CSS / JS'nin düzenlenmesi artık yalnızca arayüz yöneticileri için mümkündür

Herkese merhaba,

Daha önce de duyurulduğu gibi, CSS / JS sayfalarını değiştirme izni değişti: artık sadece interface-admin (Arayüz yöneticileri) üyeleri ve bazı ayrıcalıklı küresel gruplara sahip kullanıcılar CSS / JS sayfalarını düzenleyebilir. (Yani, MediaWiki:Kodsayfası.css gibi veya başka bir kullanıcının, kullanıcı alt sayfası olan .css veya .js ile biten herhangi bir sayfa.) Bu, WikiMedia projelerinin okuyucularının ve editörlerinin güvenliğini artırmak için yapılan bir değişikliktir. Daha fazla bilgi, site genelinde CSS / JS'yi düzenlemek için ayrı kullanıcı grubu oluşturmada mevcuttur. Beklenmeyen sorunlarla karşılaşırsanız, lütfen benimle iletişime geçin veya bir hata iletin.

Teşekkürler!

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. 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 do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre 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, 12 September 2018. On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch. 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 up to an hour on Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. 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 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
• 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 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. 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:Johan(WMF) (talk)

Wikimedia Vakfı, ikincil veri merkezini test edecek. Bu test, Vikipedi ve diğer Wikimedia projelerinin bir felaketten sonra bile çevrimiçi kalabileceğinden emin olunmasını sağlayacak. Her şeyin çalıştığından emin olmak için, Wikimedia Teknoloji departmanının planlı bir test yapması gerekiyor. Bu test, verinin bir veri merkezinden diğerine güvenilir bir şekilde geçiş yapıp yapmayacağını gösterecektir. Test için hazırlanacak ve beklenmedik sorunları giderebilecek pek çok takım gerektirir.

Maalesef, MediaWiki'deki bazı güvenlik sınırlamaları nedeniyle, veriler geçiş yapılırken, tüm düzenlemeler geçici olarak durdurulacaktır. Bu aksaklıktan ötürü özür diliyoruz ve gelecekte en aza indirmek için çalışıyoruz.

Kısa bir süre için tüm vikileri hala okuyabilecek, ancak düzenleyemeyeceksiniz.

• 12 Eylül Çarşamba ve 10 Ekim Çarşamba günleri yaklaşık bir saat kadar düzenleme yapamayacaksınız. Test Türkiye saatiyle 17.00'da (UTC+3) başlayacak.

Ancak, her ihtimale karşı, önce yaptığınız değişikliklerin bir kopyasını almanızı öneririz.

Diğer etkiler:

• Arkaplan işleri daha yavaş olabilir ve bazıları çalışmayabilir. Kırmızı bağlantılar normal hızda güncellenmeyebilir. Zaten başka bir yere bağlı bir makale oluşturursanız, bağlantı normalden daha uzun kırmızı kalır. Bazı uzun süre çalışan komut dosyaları durdurulmalıdır.

Words hyphenated across pages in Wikisource are now joined

Hi, this is a message by Can da Lua as discussed here for wikisource communities

The ProofreadPage extension can now join together a word that is split between a page and the next.

In the past, when a page was ending with "concat-" and the next page was beginning with "enation", the resulting transclusion would have been "concat- enation", and a special template like d:Q15630535 had to be used to obtain the word "concatenation".

Now the default behavior has changed: the hyphen at the end of a page is suppressed and in this case no space is inserted, so the result of the transclusion will be: "concatenation", without the need of a template. The "joiner" character is defined by default as "-" (the regular hyphen), but it is possible to change this. A template may still be needed to deal with particular cases when the hyphen needs to be preserved.

Please share this information with your community.

Vikikaynak'daki sayfalarda bulunan heceli kelimeler artık birleştirildi

Merhaba, bu, Vikikaynak toplulukları için burada tartışıldığı gibi Can da Lua tarafından gönderilen bir mesajdır.

ProofreadPage uzantısı artık bir sayfa ile bir sonraki sayfa arasındaki bölünmüş kelimeyi birleştirebilir.

Geçmişte, bir sayfa 'biyo-' ile bittiğinde ve bir sonraki sayfa 'loji' ile başlıyorsa, sonuçta meydana gelen transkripsiyon 'biyoloji' olacaktı ve bunun önüne geçmek için d:Q15630535 gibi özel bir şablon kullanılmalıydı.

Artık varsayılan davranış değişti: sayfanın sonundaki tire işaretinin önüne geçilmeye çalışılır ve bu durumda boş alan eklenmez; bu nedenle, içe aktarmanın sonucu: şablona ihtiyaç duymadan 'birleştirme' olur. "joiner" karakteri varsayılan olarak "-" (normal tire) olarak tanımlanmıştır, ancak bunu değiştirmek mümkündür. Tire'nin korunması gereken belirli durumlarla başa çıkmak için bir şablona hala ihtiyaç duyulabilir.

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web

Lütfen kendi dilinize çevirmeye yardım edin.

Example of improvements

Hello,

In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.

What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.

For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.

If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.

Teşekkürler!

Advanced Search

Advanced Search will become a default feature on your wiki on November 28. This new interface allows you to perform specialized searches on the search page, even if you don’t know any search syntax. Advanced Search originates from the German Community’s Technical Wishes project. It's already a default feature on German, Arabic, Farsi and Hungarian Wikipedia. Besides, more than 40.000 users across all wikis have tested the beta version. Feedback is welcome on the central feedback page.

Selection of the Wikisource Community User Group representative to the Wikimedia Summit

Dear all,

Sorry for writing in English and cross-posting this message.

The Wikisource Community User Group could send one representative to the Wikimedia Summit 2019 (formerly "Wikimedia Conference"). The Wikimedia Summit is a yearly conference of all organizations affiliated to the Wikimedia Movement (including our Wikisource Community User Group). It is a great place to talk about Wikisource needs to the chapters and other user groups that compose the Wikimedia movement. For context, there is a short report on what happened last year. The deadline is short and to avoid the confusing vote on the Wikisource-I mailing list of last year, we created a page on meta to decide who will be the representative of the user group to the Wikimedia Summit.

The vote will be in two parts:

1. until December 7th, people can add their name and a short explanation on who they are and why they want to go to the summit. Nomination of other people is allowed, the nominated person should accept their nomination.
2. starting December 7th, and for a week, the community vote to designate the representative.

Please feel free to ask any question on the wikisource-I mailing list or on the talk page.

These new requirements will apply to new accounts and privileged accounts. New accounts will be required to create a password with a minimum length of 8 characters. Privileged accounts will be prompted to update their password to one that is at least 10 characters in length.

These changes are planned to be in effect on December 13th. If you think your work or tools will be affected by this change, please let us know on the talk page.

FileExporter beta feature

Coming soon: the beta feature FileExporter

A new beta feature will soon be released on all wikis: The FileExporter. It allows exports of files from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, including their file history and page history. Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.

The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page.

As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

Talk to us about talking

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Update on the consultation about office actions

Hello all,

Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.

This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.

For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.

Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.

Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 08.03, 16 Ağustos 2019 (UTC)

New tools and IP masking

Hey everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.

We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.

You can post in your language if you can't write in English.

A question about the edict of Abdulhamid II that proclaimed the constitution of 1876

Hello friends, sorry for writting in English, but I do not speak Turkish. I just transcribed the greek version of Kânûn-ı Esâsî (el:Οθωμανικόν Σύνταγμα). In the publication there is also the edict of Abdulhamid II about the Constitution (el:Αυτοκρατορικόν Χαττίον της Α. Μ. του Σουλτάνου Αβδούλ Χαμήτ του Β΄ δι' ου προκηρύσσεται το οθωμανικόν σύνταγμα). In greek it's called "Χαττίον" (probably a turkish word) and I suppose it means "edict" or something similar. The question is: Does the tr.wikisource has the Turkish original so I can link both texts? Thank you in advance. --Ah3kal (mesaj) 11.10, 11 Eylül 2019 (UTC)

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started

Hello,

In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".

Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October.

How can you help?

• Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);

• Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or

• Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.

We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project

Lütfen kendi dilinize çevirmeye yardım edin.

Merhaba. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.

We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.

We would like individual feedback on the following:

• Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
• Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
• Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far

We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.

When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:

• Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
• Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
• Put things in logical and useful places
• Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
• Eliminate clutter
• Plan for future growth

As well as the following constraints:

• Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
• Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain
• No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors

Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements

After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.

Wikisource Conference in Warsaw

Dear Wikisource Community,

Meeting the Wikisource community expectations, we are working with Wikimedia Polska and Wikimedia Foundation on organiziing the 2nd Wikisource Conference in Warsaw. We already had a survey that showed high interest in the Conference within the community. We also had recently a meeting on the conference organization process and its requirements. However, we are still at a very early stage of the Conference organization process. But we are hoping this event will happen in September this year.

In order to apply for Wikimedia Foundation support, we need some input from the community about the Conference goals and the community expectations. If you are a wikisourcian, you wish to participate the conference or you wish to help the Wikisource community that the conference take place, please fill the short survey linked below before January 29 (due to short deadline for grant applications). Please, also share this request among Your communities. Here is the link to the survey

Feel free to contact us, if you have any questions, suggestions, proposals, or if you wish to help us in any other way.

On behalf of the Organizing Commitee,
