VisualEditor News #1—2015
[编辑]
上次新闻以来，编辑团队修复了很多错误，并改进了可视化编辑器的外观，即将来到的Citoid参考服务，并支持复杂输入环境的语言。 Status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.
The Wikimedia Foundation has named its top priorities for this quarter (January to March). The first priority is making VisualEditor ready for deployment by default to all new users and logged-out users at the remaining large Wikipedias. You can help identify these requirements. There will be weekly triage meetings which will be open to volunteers beginning Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at 12:00 (noon) PST (20:00 UTC). Tell Vice President of Engineering Damon Sicore, Product Manager James Forrester and other team members which bugs and features are most important to you. The decisions made at these meetings will determine what work is necessary for this quarter's goal of making VisualEditor ready for deployment to new users. The presence of volunteers who enjoy contributing MediaWiki code is particularly appreciated. Information about how to join the meeting will be posted at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal shortly before the meeting begins.
Due to some breaking changes in MobileFrontend and VisualEditor, VisualEditor was not working correctly on the mobile site for a couple of days in early January. The teams apologize for the problem.
新的改进
[编辑]The new design for VisualEditor aligns with MediaWiki's Front-End Standards as led by the Design team. Several new versions of the OOjs UI library have also been released, and these also affect the appearance of VisualEditor and other MediaWiki software extensions. Most changes were minor, like changing the text size and the amount of white space in some windows. Buttons are consistently color-coded to indicate whether the action:
- starts a new task, like opening the ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽ dialog: 蓝色 ,
- takes a constructive action, like inserting a citation: 绿色 ,
- might remove or lose your work, like removing a link: 红色 , 或
- is neutral, like opening a link in a new browser window: 灰色 .
The TemplateData editor has been completely re-written to use a different design based on the same OOjs UI system as VisualEditor. (T67815, T73746.) This change fixed a couple of existing bugs and improved usability. (T73077, T73078.)
Search and replace in long documents is now faster. It does not highlight every occurrence if there are more than 100 on-screen at once.(T78234.)
Editors at the Hebrew and Russian Wikipedia requested the ability to use VisualEditor in the "Article Incubator" or drafts namespace. (T86688, T87027.) If your community would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace on your wiki, then you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
展望
[编辑]The Editing team will soon add auto-fill features for citations. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to contribute to the Citoid service's definitions for each website, to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections.
We will need editors to help test the new design of the special character inserter, especially if you speak Welsh, Breton, or another language that uses diacritics or special characters extensively. The new version should be available for testing next week. Please contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF) if you would like to be notified when the new version is available. After the special character tool is completed, VisualEditor will be deployed to all users at Phase 5 Wikipedias. This will affect about 50 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh. The date for this change has not been determined.

Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content
[编辑]This March, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas for improving gender diversity on Wikimedia projects. Less than 20% of Wikimedia contributors are women, and many important topics are still missing in our content. We invite all Wikimedians to participate. If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31.
All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive, positive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign and help this project better represent the world’s knowledge!

Stewards confirmation rules
[编辑]Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep. As this is an issue that affects all WMF wikis, I'm sending this notification to let people know & be able to participate. Best regards, --MF-W 2015年4月10日 (五) 16:12 (UTC)

Did you know?
With Citoid in VisualEditor, you click the 'book with bookmark' icon and paste in the URL for a reliable source:
Citoid looks up the source for you and returns the citation results. Click the green "Insert" button to accept its results and add them to the article:
After inserting the citation, you can change it. Select the reference, and click the "Edit" button in the context menu to make changes.
The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's performance, the Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.
The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at 11:00 (noon) PDT (18:00 UTC). You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the Editing team's Q4 blocker project with the bug. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal.
Recent improvements
[编辑]VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and network speed by almost 40%.
The Editing team is slowly adding auto-fill features for citations. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.
Citoid requires good TemplateData for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
The special character inserter has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the Phase 5 list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh.
Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use input method editors ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.
The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the "packed" mode in image galleries. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.
You can now drag and drop categories to re-arrange their order of appearance on the page.
The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.
Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.
Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (T90734)
Looking ahead
[编辑]The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted at mediawiki.org.
The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon. (T90666)

This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.
.svg){kind=logo}
Greetings,
I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.
This year, elections are being held for the following roles:
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.
Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.
Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.
The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.
Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core
[编辑]Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.
There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.
Thank you,
The Pywikibot development team, 19:30, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
VisualEditor News #3—2015
[编辑]
在上一次电子报之后，编辑团队已经创建了提供为连结或引用功能的新介面，同时也修正了许多的臭虫并且改变了一些设计元素。有些臭虫有影响到以行动设备使用可视化编辑器的用户。 状况报告已经贴到了mediawiki.org上头。四月到六月的工作清单可以在Phabricator上找到。
在英文维基百科已经完成第一期可视化编辑器对新手编辑的效果测试。在这项测试中，一半的新注册使用者会预设使用可视化编辑器进行编辑，另外一半则否。 这项研究的主要目的是了解哪一群团体更会去编辑并且产出有用、不会被回退的贡献内容。初步的研究结果将会在本月底发布于元维基页面。
近日改进功能
[编辑]Auto-fill features for citations are available at a few Wikipedias through the citoid service. Citoid takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto⧽, ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual⧽, or ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse⧽). The cite button is now labeled with the word "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "⧼Citoid-citeFromIDDialog-lookup-button⧽", for the submit button.
The link tool has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector. (T98085)
The special character inserter in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list at mediawiki.org. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (T70425)
Several improvements have been made to templates. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽" each time they want to add another parameter. (T95696) The team added a new property for TemplateData, "示例值", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (T53049)
The design of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.
The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of non-existent images. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.

HTTPS
[编辑]嗨，各位好。
过去几年来，维基媒体基金会持续致力于让所有使用者都以HTTPS作为预设开启的连线方式（包含未注册的使用者），以让维基计划的读者与编者享有更好的隐私与安全性。由于必须考量到许多不同的面向，这花了很长的一段时间才完成。我们的伺服器之前一直还无法处理HTTPS。维基媒体基金会有时候必须思考如何平衡各种彼此有所冲突的目标。
强制HTTPS已经运用于所有的维基媒体计划之中。可能各位已经有注意到这件事，上周有一些语言的维基百科已经转换到HTTPS，当时便有先行通知会受到影响的相关社群。
大部份的维基媒体计划编辑者应该完全不会受到影响。如果你是以注册帐户进行编辑，你大概早就必须要透过HTTPS来登入。我们将会持续关注相关事项顺利运作。如果在这项变更后你遭遇到了任何错误或者是你有疑惑想询问，欢迎跟我们联系。

对于‘界面消息'（可在 translatewiki.net 翻译），我们看到了42种语言的主动改进。在翻译马拉松之前，跨语言的平均进度是56.5%，而在此之后则是78.2%，增长了21.7%。 详细情况是：萨哈语从12.2%跃升至94.2%；巴西葡萄牙语从50.6%开始直接100%完成；Taraškievica语则从44.9%增长至85.3%；Doteli语从1.3%增长至41.2%。另外，在翻译马拉松前，消息的1.7%曾被告知已过时，而在结束后，这一比例则变成0.8%，下降了0.9%。
对于‘文档消息'（位于 mediawiki.org），我们看到了24种语言的主动改进。在翻译马拉松之前，跨语言的平均进度是26.6%，而在此之后则是46.9%，增长了20.3%。有3种语言做出了显著改进。 亚美尼亚语从1%进步到99%；瑞典语从21%进步到99%；以及巴西葡萄牙语从34%进步到83%。过时翻译从此前的8.4%下降到4.8%，下降了3.6%。
我们公开了部分的图表到翻译马拉松的页面上，展示此次翻译松的产生的效益。我们感谢翻译志工的参与以及 translatewiki.net 的工作人员协调此计划。
新的功能改进
[编辑]引用的自动填写功能现在在个别的维基百科已经可以启用。这个工具使用citoid 服务来将URL或DOI转换成已经预先填好、格式也已预先设定好的引用书目资料。 You can see an animated GIF of the quick, simple process at mediawiki.org. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the instructions at mediawiki.org.
Your wiki can customize the first section of the special character inserter in VisualEditor. Please follow the instructions at mediawiki.org to put the characters you want at the top. In other changes, if you need to fill in a CAPTCHA and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit Vega-based graphs. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.
将来的改进
[编辑]The team will be changing the appearance of selected links inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A recent controlled trial showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. 您可以透过观赏2015年7月国际年会研究报告的影片来学习更多相关内容。能够允许登入两种环境的新帐户比例将会逐步增加。最终所有的新用户都可以自己选择要用哪一种编辑环境。
让我们手拉手，一起工作吧

VisualEditor News #5—2015
[编辑]你知道吗？
点选铅笔图示，打开页面的编辑器。在里面，使用右上缴齿轮选单来切换为可视化编辑。
编辑按钮将会记得你上次使用的编辑环境，并且在下一次给你与上次相同的编辑环境设定。未来几个月，桌机版的网站将会有类似这样的转换记忆功能。
你可以阅读并且帮助翻译使用者指引，指引中有更多关于如何使用可视化编辑器的资讯。
自从上次的电子报，可视化编辑器的负责团队已经修复了许多的臭虫，添增了许多新功能，也做了一些小范围的设计更动。 他们于mediawiki.org 网站上发布了每周现况报告。他们的工作进度版可以在Phabricator中找到。 他们的现在优先事项是改善像是日语和阿拉伯语的语言支援，让行动装置更容易编辑，以及提供运算式、图表、相本以及上传功能更丰富的多媒体工具。
近期的修正
[编辑]教学功能：当你第一次使用可视化编辑器时，它会要你注意链接与⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽工具。当你点选这些工具时，可视化编辑器会说明为什么你应该使用它们。 (T108620) 除此之外，对新使用者的欢迎讯息也有简化，让编辑更加平易近人。 (T112354) 更多软体中的教学功能也在规划之中了。
连结：可视化编辑器现在更容易理解你要“帮某个连结增加一段文字”，还是“在连结的旁边输入一段跟连结无关的文字”这两者的区别。 (T74108, T91285) 现在编辑器已经完整支援国际书号（ISBN）、PubMed唯一识别码（PMID）、征求修正意见书（RFC）的数字。 (T109498, T110347, T63558) 这类的神奇连结使用自订的连结编辑工具。
上传：注册的编辑者现在可以在编辑的同时，上传图片以及其他多媒体档案到共享资源。点击在插入 图像与媒体工具中的新标签页。你将会被引导到相关的上传档案流程而不用离开编辑模式。在最后，图片将会被插入。这个工具目前限制一次上传一个、同时图片的制作者是使用者本人、而且用一般共享资源授权的档案。在更复杂的情形下，这个工具会连结到进阶的其他上传工具。你可以将想要上传的图片档案拖移到编辑器中。上述功能也将会在稍后可以于维基语法编辑器中使用。
行动版：在此之前，可视化编辑器只能够在平板电脑上的行动版维基百科站台使用。现在，编辑者可以透过不限大小的行动装置来使用可视化编辑器。 (T85630) 编辑冲突之前在行动版网站会造成当机。现在编辑冲突在不论是维基语法或是可视化编辑器都可以处理。 (T111894) 有时候模板或类似的项目在行动版网站上是无法被删除的。因为一旦选择了这样的项目，会造成有些浏览器中的萤幕键盘被隐藏了起来。现在有开发新的删除钮，所以这样的项目在键盘隐藏下仍然可以被移除。 (T62110) 现在你也可以在行动装置里编辑表格栏位。
更丰富的编辑工具：你现在可以在可视化编辑器添加或编辑表单、音乐。(T112925) 还有独立的标签页提供进阶的选项，像是MIDI或Ogg音乐档。 (T114227, T113354) 当编辑运算式以及其他的区块时，在编辑时会显示错误。也有可能编辑某些类型的图表；未来将会继续添增新的工具与支援更多的类型。
在英文维基百科，可视化编辑器现在是任何有创建帐户者都自动可得。偏好设定钮现在已经移到正常位置，在Special:Preferences里头。
未来的改进
[编辑]不久之后，将能在编辑开始后再切换维基语法或可视化编辑器的编辑环境。 (T49779) 在此之前，你只能从可视化编辑器切换到维基语法的编辑器。双向切换的功能将能实现单一编辑标签页的设计。 (T102398) 这个开发专案将会整合编辑和编辑源代码标签页，类似于现在已经在行动版网站使用的系统。编辑标签页将会使用你上次打开的编辑器。
卷起袖子一起来
[编辑]- 欢迎来可视化编辑器/回馈分享你的想法或发问。这个回馈页面是使用Flow（暂译“言流”工具）来进行讨论。
- 你可以阅读与输入韩文或日文吗？语言工程团队David Chan需要知道有哪些工具可以输入相关语言的人士协助。如果你说日文或韩文，你可以帮忙他测试这些语言的支援状况。如果你想帮忙，请见“测什么”的这篇介绍。你可以在Phabricator上回报（韩文—日文）或是在维基百科上（韩文－日文）回报。
- 本地管理员可以为你的维基站台设置自动化文献的Citoid功能。如果你需要协助，请写一篇请求信并到在Phabricator上的Citoid计划发布。如果在你的维基站台里头有重要的模板资料，也请在联络信中提及。
- 每周的工作任务优先分类聚会(task triage)是开放给志工参与的。在元维基：可视化编辑器的工作任务分类 （mw:Visual Editor/Weekly triage meetings）来学习如何加入这个聚会以及如何提报臭虫。虽然也有实体聚会，但你不需要到会议现场就能提报臭虫。只要上Phabricator并且合作跟可视化编辑器专案相关的臭虫公告。

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

Wikidata data access is coming
[编辑]Hi everyone :)
A while ago you received access to the interwiki links from Wikidata. Everything seems to be going well so I'd like to move on to the second stage. You will get access to the actual data in Wikidata like the date of birth of a person. You'll be able to make use of them in your templates via Lua or a new parser function (#property). We'll be enabling this on December 2nd. This will be the day for Wikinews, Wikispecies, Meta and MediaWiki. I hope this will open up great new possibilities for you and make your work easier. If you have questions please come to d:Wikidata:Sister projects. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE)（讨论） 2015年11月18日 (三) 16:47 (UTC)
This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.
Hi everyone,
This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.
As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.
We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.
Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.
(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)
Thank you for your participation!

Access to data on Wikidata is here
[编辑]Hi everyone :)
For a while now you already have access to the sitelinks from Wikidata. We just enabled access to the data on Wikidata for you as well. This means you can now access data like the number of inhabitants of a city or get a link to a picture for a famous person and much more to use it in your articles. You can access the data in two ways - via a parser function and via Lua. How to use it:
- Parser function: {{#property:P36|from=Q183}} to get the capital (Property:P36) from the item about Germany (Q183)
- Lua: see mw:Extension:Wikibase Client/Lua
I hope this will help you do great things here. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Good places to start are the relevant pages on d:Wikidata:Wikinews and d:Wikidata:Project chat.

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

VisualEditor News #6—2015
[编辑]你知道吗？
自从上一份电子报发布以来，视觉化编辑器团队已经修复了许多漏洞，并扩充了数学公式的工具。 其工作内容已经在Phabricator内发布。 其目前的主要工作是增加对于日文或阿拉伯文等语言的支援，以及提供对公式、图表、图片及上传的丰富媒体工具。
新改进的功能
[编辑]您可以在开始编辑后于Wikitext编辑器与视觉化编辑器之间切换。 LaTeX数学公式编辑器有相当大的扩展。 (T118616) 您现在可以在更改LaTeX原始码时看见公式的改动。您也可以使用按钮来为许多符号插入正确的LaTeX原始码。
未来改进
[编辑]单一编辑按钮 会将"编辑"和"编辑源代码"按钮合并为一个"编辑"按钮，就像在手机版网页里使用的系统一样。 (T102398, T58337) 最初，编辑按钮会开启您上次使用的编辑模式。若是未登入的使用者，上次的编辑选择资讯会储存在Cookie里，若是已登入使用者，则会储存在帐号设定内。已登入使用者可以在偏好设定内的编辑选单里利用编辑模式：下拉式选单选择预设编辑器。
视觉化编辑器会在2016年上旬提供给下列语言维基百科的所有使用者： 阿姆哈拉语、布吉语、闽东语、克里语、曼岛语、客语、亚美尼亚语、乔治亚语、旁狄希腊语、塞尔维亚-克罗埃西亚语、提格利尼亚语、明格列尔语、壮语以及闽南语。 (T116523) 请发表您的意见及您测试过的语言至mediawiki.org上的回报区。开发人员希望了解使用情形。也请您注明您使用的是何种电脑、网页浏览器以及键盘。
自2016年起，在许多维基百科上的视觉化编辑器之回报页面将会被重新导向至mediawiki.org。 (T92661)
测试机会
[编辑]- 请测试在test2.wikipedia.org上的新系统“单一编辑按钮”。您可以在未登入时编辑，以了解在其对未登入编辑者的运作方式，或建立另一个独立的帐号测试，来保留您原本帐号的设定。 Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at the feedback topic on mediawiki.org or sign up for formal user research (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
- 记住我上次使用的编辑器、
- 如果可能，总是让我使用可视化编辑器、
- 总是让我使用源代码编辑器，以及
- 向我显示两个编辑器标签. (This is the current state for people already using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
- Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).
If you aren't reading this in your favorite language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. 谢谢您！
