Ju lutem, përpara se të bllokoheni përfundimisht nga përdorimi i Wikipedia-s, të ndaloni me ndryshimet e këtij lloji. Nëse keni diçka reale për të shtuar, jeni të lirë të veproni por redaktimet para-mbrapa në një artikull përbëjnë keqpërdorim të projektit. Ne kemi mjete teknike për të parë IP-të, origjinën e tyre e për t'i bllokuar ato, pjesërisht ose për tërë projektin, përkohësisht ose përgjithmonë.

Pyetje nga Spicy27 nëpërmjet panelit të ndihmës (17 maj 2023 22:01)

ckemi si jeni si mund t vendos foto n wikipedia? --Spicy27 (diskutimet) 17 maj 2023 22:01 (CEST)

Spicy27, përshëndetje!
Mund të shtypni Futni dhe të zgjidhni Imazhe dhe media (pasi të keni shtypur Redakto). Kjo metodë supozon se fotografia që doni të shtoni është tashmë e ngarkuar në Wikimedia Commons (vendi ku ngarkohen materialet multimediale). Nëse nuk është, shkoni këtu dhe ndiqni udhëzimet fillimisht: c:Special:UploadWizard — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 22 maj 2023 12:22 (CEST)

Hello,

Without notoriety, interwiki spam/autopromo. This page is to be deleted, please. Sincerely ;) ―Eihel (diskutimet) 20 maj 2023 00:36 (CEST)

Si te ndryshoj foton e nje artikulli ne wikipedia ? --Metibudakovaa (diskutimet) 21 maj 2023 00:09 (CEST)

Metibudakovaa, përshëndetje!
Shkoni te artikulli që doni të bëni ndryshimin e shtypni Futni dhe të zgjidhni Imazhe dhe media (pasi të keni shtypur Redakto). Zgjidhni fotografinë e re dhe shtojeni. Më pas fshini të vjetrën e ruajeni ndryshimin. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 22 maj 2023 12:27 (CEST)

Growth team newsletter #26

Welcome to the twenty-sixth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

One million Suggested Edits

We passed the 1 million Suggested edits milestone in late April!

• The Suggested edits feature (AKA Newcomer tasks) increase newcomer activation by ~12%, which flows on through to increased retention. (source)
• Suggested edits increase the number of edits newcomers complete in their first two weeks and have a relatively low revert rate. (source)
• Suggested edits are available on all Wikipedia language editions.
• Newer Suggested edits, like Add a link and Add an image, aren’t yet deployed to all wikis, but these structured tasks further increase the probability that newcomers will make their first edit. (source)

Positive reinforcement

Positive reinforcement aims to encourage newcomers who have visited our homepage and tried Growth features to keep editing.

• The new Impact module was released to Growth pilot wikis in December 2022, and we are now scaling the feature to another ten wikis. [3]
• The Leveling up features are deployed at our pilot wikis.
• The Personalized praise features were deployed at our pilot wikis on May 24. Mentors at pilot wikis will start to receive notifications weekly when they have “praise-worthy” mentees. Mentors can configure their notification preferences or disable these notifications.

Add an image

• We are creating a new section-level variation of the “add an image” task. We have tested the accuracy of suggestions, and the development of this new task is well-underway. [4]

Other updates

• We are progressively releasing Add a link to more wikis. [5]
• After adding Thanks to Recent Changes, Watchlist and Special:Contributions, we investigated Thanks usage on the wikis. There is no evidence that thanks increased after the feature was added on more pages.
• We helped with code review for the 2023 Community Wish to add Notifications for user page edits. [6]
• We have been attending several community events, that we documented in our Growth’s Community events report.

What's next for Growth?

• We shared an overview of Growth annual planning ideas, and have started community discussion about these potential projects. We would love to hear your feedback on these ideas!

Tech News: 2023-22

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

Recent changes

• Citations can once again be added automatically from ISBNs, thanks to Zotero's ISBN searches. The current data sources are the Library of Congress (United States), the Bibliothèque nationale de France (French National Library), and K10plus ISBN (German repository). Additional data source searches can be proposed to Zotero. The ISBN labels in the VisualEditor Automatic tab will reappear later this week. [7]
• The page Speciale:EditWatchlist now has "Check all" options to select all the pages within a namespace. This feature request was voted #161 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [8]

Problems

• For a few days earlier this month, the "Add interlanguage link" item in the Tools menu did not work properly. This has now been fixed. [9]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 May. It will be on all wikis from 1 June (calendar).
• VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on small and medium wikis this week. Large wikis will follow in the coming weeks. This is part of the effort to move Parsoid into MediaWiki core. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here.

Johannnes89, yes, I am aware, thank you.
@Adem jashari99, të kemi thënë disa herë në të shkuarën, në shqip e anglisht, që faqja ka probleme shquarësie e nuk mund të publikohet. Nuk është bllokuar gabimisht, është bllokuar për këtë arsye. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 7 qershor 2023 12:14 (CEST)

Recent changes

• The RealMe extension allows you to mark URLs on your user page as verified for Mastodon and similar software.
• Citation and footnote editing can now be started from the reference list when using the visual editor. This feature request was voted #2 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [11]
• Previously, clicking on someone else's link to Recent Changes with filters applied within the URL could unintentionally change your preference for "Grupo rezultatet sipas faqës". This has now been fixed. [12]

Problems

• For a few days last week, some tools and bots returned outdated information due to database replication problems, and may have been down entirely while it was being fixed. These issues have now been fixed. [13]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 June. It will be on all wikis from 8 June (calendar).
• Bots will no longer be prevented from making edits because of URLs that match the spam blacklist. [14]

Tech News: 2023-24

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

Recent changes

• The content attribution tools Who Wrote That?, XTools Authorship, and XTools Blame now support the Dutch, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Japanese, Polish and Portuguese Wikipedias. This was the #7 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [15]
• The Search Preview panel has been deployed on four Wikipedias (Catalan, Dutch, Hungarian and Norwegian). The panel will show an image related to the article (if existing), the top sections of the article, related images (coming from MediaSearch on Commons), and eventually the sister projects associated with the article. [16]
• The RealMe extension now allows administrators to verify URLs for any page, for Mastodon and similar software. [17]
• The default project license has been officially upgraded to CC BY-SA 4.0. The software interface messages have been updated. Communities should feel free to start updating any mentions of the old CC BY-SA 3.0 licensing within policies and related documentation pages. [18]

Problems

• For three days last month, some Wikipedia pages edited with VisualEditor or DiscussionTools had an unintended __TOC__ (or its localized form) added during an edit. There is a listing of affected pages sorted by wiki, that may still need to be fixed. [19]
• Currently, the "Rendite këtë faqe, si parazgjedhje, si" feature in VisualEditor is broken. Existing {{DEFAULTSORT:...}} keywords incorrectly appear as missing templates in VisualEditor. Developers are exploring how to fix this. In the meantime, those wishing to edit the default sortkey of a page are advised to switch to source editing. [20]
• Last week, an update to the delete form may have broken some gadgets or user scripts. If you need to manipulate (empty) the reason field, replace #wpReason with #wpReason > input. See an example fix. [21]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 June. It will be on all wikis from 15 June (calendar).
• VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on English Wikipedia on Monday, and all other large wikis on Thursday. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here. [22]

Future changes

• From 5 June to 17 July, the Foundation's Security team is holding a consultation with contributors regarding a draft policy to govern the use of third-party resources in volunteer-developed gadgets and scripts. Feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome at Third-party resources policy on meta-wiki.

Translation request

Hello.

Can you create the article en:Laacher See, which is the third most powerful volcano in Europe after Campi Flegrei and Santorini, in Albanian Wikipedia?

Yours sincerely, Multituberculata (diskutimet) 13 qershor 2023 12:00 (CEST)

Multituberculata, hello!
I would kindly request you to find another volunteer for article creation as I mostly deal with the maintenance aspect myself. As such, I'm rather clumsy with article writing/translating.
Regards! — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 13 qershor 2023 14:22 (CEST)

I understand. Sorry. Do you have any recommendations? Because I don't know Albanian, I don't know how to proceed. Multituberculata (diskutimet) 13 qershor 2023 14:35 (CEST)

Multituberculata, if my memory serves me right, I think Berishasinan has helped you in the past one or more times. Maybe you can try and ask that user? — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 13 qershor 2023 14:38 (CEST)

Thank you. If this user was recently active, I will ask. Multituberculata (diskutimet) 13 qershor 2023 14:40 (CEST)

Modul

A ka mundesi qe nje robot ti krijoj keto module Jane shume te rendesishme. Tiimiii (diskutimet) 16 qershor 2023 22:02 (CEST)

Tiimiii, e vërtetë por fatkeqësisht, jo. Kjo është një situatë e përsëritur: EnWiki krijon një sistem ndër vite, projekte të tjera duan ta kopjojnë por sistemi nuk mund të transportohet pasi është zgjeruar aq shumë saqë vetëm kopjimi do të merrte muaj punë. Për këto arsye po synohet që infrastruktura të tilla të kalohen në Wikidata ose ndonjë projekt të ri global ku sistemi mund të aksesohet nga të gjitha projektet pa pasur nevojë të rikrijohet lokalisht vazhdimisht për çdo projekt. Në këto raste do të mjaftonte vetëm përkthimi. Para ca kohësh donim të merrnim sistemin e stampave për krijesat biologjike. Zbuluam që shkonin diku te 90 000 stampa. Diskutuam për të bërë një infrastrukturë të vetme me shumë më pak stampa te Wikidata por nuk pranoi EnWiki pasi komuniteti atje nuk i beson Wikidatës e ndjen se kështu humbet kontrollin e ka frikë se mund të bien pre e vandalizmave. Si përfundim nuk u bë asgjë dhe kopjojmë ndonjëherë manualisht kur mundemi stampat që kemi nevojë urgjente. Kështu është puna dhe me këtë rast. Kam pyetur dhe për robote që bëjnë këtë gjë por nuk di të ekzistojnë aktualisht. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 18 qershor 2023 22:05 (CEST)

Stamps

Hi! I have recently marked Pulla postare shqiptare: Mozaikë të periudhës paleokristiane në Shqipëri for deletion, considering it spam; then, however, I have discovered tens of similar items (Special:PrefixIndex/Pulla postare). Could you have a look at them? If they aren't spam, you can removed the template I added to the first article - the filter doesn't allow me to remove it -; if they are spam, you can delete them all. Thanks very much! Epìdosis (diskutimet) 21 qershor 2023 18:48 (CEST)

Epìdosis, hey there! Thank you for taking the time to review our articles! I'd say those articles aren't spam per se as they give information about different editions of stamps Albania has been using (even though they lack the usual article layouts and one might argue that they could also potentially lack notability criteria in regard to that subject). I'll go with "keep" until someone takes the responsibility to deal with the subject of philately in general here. I'll remove the template. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 22 qershor 2023 04:41 (CEST)

Tech News: 2023-26

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

Recent changes

• The Action API modules and Special:LinkSearch will now add a trailing / to all prop=extlinks responses for bare domains. This is part of the work to remove duplication in the externallinks database table. [27]

Problems

• Last week, search was broken on Commons and Wikidata for 23 hours. [28][29]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 June. It will be on all wikis from 29 June (calendar).
• The Minerva skin now applies more predefined styles to the .mbox-text CSS class. This enables support for mbox templates that use divs instead of tables. Please make sure that the new styles won't affect other templates in your wiki. [30][31]
• Gadgets will now load on both desktop and mobile by default. Previously, gadgets loaded only on desktop by default. Changing this default using the |targets= parameter is also deprecated and should not be used. You should make gadgets work on mobile or disable them based on the skin (with the |skins= parameter in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition) rather than whether the user uses the mobile or the desktop website. Popular gadgets that create errors on mobile will be disabled by developers on the Minerva skin as a temporary solution. [32]
• All namespace tabs now have the same browser access key by default. Previously, custom and extension-defined namespaces would have to have their access keys set manually on-wiki, but that is no longer necessary. [33]
• The review form of the Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standardized user interface components. [34]

Future changes

• How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will change in the coming weeks at group2 wikis. This change improves the accessibility of content. You may need to update your site-CSS, or userscripts and gadgets. There are details on what code to check, how to update the code, and where to report any related problems. [35]

NowCommons

Hi! Could you check/delete the files in Kategoria:All Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons and Kategoria:All Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons?

Once deleted perhaps Planeti could check the remaining files in Kategoria:Files uploaded by Planeti and add a source/author. Perhaps you can leave a notice for Planeti in Albanian about those files? --MGA73 (diskutimet) 28 qershor 2023 09:29 (CEST)

MGA73:  U bë!
I will contact them about those now. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 28 qershor 2023 11:38 (CEST)

Great! You missed one file :-D

I do not understand the replay Planeti made. Google translate does not make sense.

I can't remember if there are other active users with unlicensed files. Guess the only way is to take one user at a time and either delete the files or write to the user. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 28 qershor 2023 16:49 (CEST)

MGA73, oh! Thanks for letting me know. Had missed that one when I was preparing the list on Notepad++.
They are saying that the remaining files can be deleted because the one worthy saving are already on Commons. They said they had uploaded them when they didn't know much about copyrights (a story that is shared with many other editors in similar cases).
I think Sadsadas is another user you have contacted but I'm not sure if you actually got any reply back. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 28 qershor 2023 18:28 (CEST)

Thank you. No answer on Përdoruesi_diskutim:Sadsadas#Files_without_a_license yet. Perhaps you could ask in Albanian when you have some time? --MGA73 (diskutimet) 28 qershor 2023 20:30 (CEST)

MGA73, yes. Just give me the link with the category of their files. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 28 qershor 2023 23:03 (CEST)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ There are only 7 files so I did not add them to a category. The files are these:

1. File:1381471_10201676601264249_1498145224_n.jpg
2. File:Angelo_Moratti.jpg
3. File:Berisha1.jpg
4. File:Bogdani1.jpg
5. File:Mauro+Icardi+FC+Internazionale+Milano+v+Genoa+dpG5IgA12zfl.jpg
6. File:Stadiumi_i_Kukesit_-_Zeqir_Ymeri.jpg
7. File:Valter_Birsa.jpeg

I think that some are from a website so they should probably be deleted anyway. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 29 qershor 2023 16:39 (CEST)

MGA73, oh, yes. I saw now. Deleted them all for lack of license. The Kukes Stadium was the only one I was in doubt but there are other photos of it in Commons anyway I suppose so unless Sadsadas wants it back with a legitimate rationale I supposes it should go as well. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 29 qershor 2023 17:27 (CEST)

Përshëndetje Klein!

Unë jam një lexues dhe krijues i faqeve, desha të të pyes se a mundesh të ju fusësh mbrojtje këtyre faqeve: [[Beteja e Koshares]], [[Beteja e Pashtrikut]] dhe [[Lufta e vitit 2001 në Maqedoni]], për shkak se po vandalizohen dhe po keqpërdoren nga disa anëtarë që dyshoj se janë serbë të Wikipedias Serbe. 37.26.97.88 3 korrik 2023 18:28 (CEST)

37.26.97.88, përshëndetje! Ekzistojnë dy lloje mbrojtjesh: E pjesshme dhe e plotë. Ajo e pjesshme bën që artikulli të redaktohet vetëm nga përdoruesit e regjistruar (pra ju që nuk keni llogari e shumë të tjerë në të njëjtën situatë do ta kishin të pamundur për ta ndryshuar më atë për asnjë qëllim) dhe ajo e plota bën që artikulli të mos redaktohet nga askush tjetër përveç administratorëve (dhe konsiderohet veprim disi "ekstrem" që duhet ndërmarrë vetëm për periudha të përkohshme). Aktualisht faqet në fjalë nuk duken të kenë trafik të përgjithshëm të lartë sa t'u hiqet mundësia e redaktimit e tërë përdoruesve pa regjistrim, kudo që gjenden në botë. Nëse ndryshime specifike nga përdorues specifikë në to bëhen problematike, ato përdorues mund të ndalohen që të bëjnë më ndryshime në ato faqe, mbase përkohësisht. Për cilat ndryshime bëhet fjalë specifikisht? — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 3 korrik 2023 22:21 (CEST)

Recent changes

• The Section-level Image Suggestions feature has been deployed on seven Wikipedias (Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Catalan, Hungarian, Finnish and Norwegian Bokmål). The feature recommends images for articles on contributors' watchlists that are a good match for individual sections of those articles.
• Global abuse filters have been enabled on all Wikimedia projects, except English and Japanese Wikipedias (who opted out). This change was made following a global request for comments. [38]
• Speciale:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool for administrators to help fight spam. It provides a clearer interface for blocking plain domains (and their subdomains), is more easily searchable, and is faster for the software to process for each edit on the wiki. It does not support regex (for complex cases), nor URL path-matching, nor the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist, but otherwise it replaces most of the functionalities of the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. There is a Python script to help migrate all simple domains into this tool, and more feature details, within the tool's documentation. It is available at all wikis except for Meta-wiki, Commons, and Wikidata. [39]
• The WikiEditor extension was updated. It includes some of the most frequently used features of wikitext editing. In the past, many of its messages could only be translated by administrators, but now all regular translators on translatewiki can translate them. Please check the state of WikiEditor localization into your language, and if the "Completion" for your language shows anything less than 100%, please complete the translation. See a more detailed explanation.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 July. It will be on all wikis from 13 July (calendar).
• The default protocol of Speciale:LinkSearch and API counterparts has changed from http to both http and https. [40]
• Speciale:LinkSearch and its API counterparts will now search for all of the URL provided in the query. It used to be only the first 60 characters. This feature was requested fifteen years ago. [41]

Future changes

• There is an experiment with a ChatGPT plugin. This is to show users where the information is coming from when they read information from Wikipedia. It has been tested by Wikimedia Foundation staff and other Wikimedians. Soon all ChatGPT plugin users can use the Wikipedia plugin. This is the same plugin which was mentioned in Tech News 2023/20. [42]
• There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed Third-party resources policy. The proposal will impact the use of third-party resources in gadgets and userscripts. Based on the ideas received so far, policy includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, some best practices and exemption requirements such as code transparency and inspectability. Your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on on the policy talk page.

Recent changes

• We are now serving 1% of all global user traffic from Kubernetes (you can read more technical details). We are planning to increment this percentage regularly. You can follow the progress of this work.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 July. It will be on all wikis from 20 July (calendar).
• MediaWiki system messages will now look for available local fallbacks, instead of always using the default fallback defined by software. This means wikis no longer need to override each language on the fallback chain separately. For example, English Wikipedia doesn't have to create en-ca and en-gb subpages with a transclusion of the base pages anymore. This makes it easier to maintain local overrides. [43]
• The action=growthsetmentorstatus API will be deprecated with the new MediaWiki version. Bots or scripts calling that API should use the action=growthmanagementorlist API now. [44]

Hello

Hi! How are you doing? As expected there is no other users working on files. But at least we got Planeti to add a license :-)

There are still 1.284 files in Kategoria:Non Licensed Images. Do you have any plan on how to move forward?

If it was me I would take the categories "Files uploaded by..." in Kategoria:Non Licensed Images and 1) check if uploader is active and write a notice if yes and 2) scan the category to see if there are any very good files there that could be used as fair use. Then I would delete all the remaning files and take a new category.

There are many files that could be PD due to age but we need to know who the photographer is, when (s)he dies or if unknown when the photo was published. That is in many cases hard to find out. (So I would not spend the time on it unless the photo is very good)

If/when file are deleted my guess is that it is easier to have other users try to find free files from enwiki etc. because they can see that there is no photo in the article. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 25 korrik 2023 14:50 (CEST)

MGA73, hello! Sorry for the late response but I was in a wiki-break these days. I will soon return to checking and removing some files in that category. Your approach is a good one but I suspect no one will be able to help as you have noticed. I do check them from time to time to be honest but it takes me around 1 hour to delete 8-12 files and after I do that 1-2 times, I really lose the will continue without having a week-long break at least in-between. I know that theoretically I can just mass-delete them without worrying much but then again it does feel bad when a 20+ year content's fate remains on the hands of one person only, freely acting on their guessing game more or less. Anyway it is reassuring that you always come back to remind me about this matter, something that I hope will continue, ideally completing the clean-up soon. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 2 gusht 2023 19:02 (CEST)

Hello! Good to hear from you. Yeah a wiki break is sometimes a very good thing. Most wikis I visit feel the same way. Noone likes to delete good files. If anyone do not agree with you deleting they can just help check the files. The WMF-policy require that files have a valid license so a mass delete would make you follow that policy. So you should actually feel good for making sure sq.wiki follow the rules :-) Enjoy your summer! --MGA73 (diskutimet) 2 gusht 2023 19:51 (CEST)

Growth team newsletter #27

Welcome to the twenty-seventh newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Annual plan for Growth

We shared our annual plan, for the period July 2023 - June 2024.

Our first project of the year will be Community configuration 2.0, which helps editors with extended rights transparently and easily configure important on-wiki functionality.

After we finish work on Community configuration 2.0, we will hope to fit in one of the following projects:

• Article creation: This project aims to provide new editors with better guidance and guardrails in the article creation process, with the intention of lightening the load of new page reviewers.
• Non-editing participation: This project aims to create low-risk ways for readers to participate in Wikipedia with the intention of funneling more readers into contributing to the Wikimedia movement.

Please let us know what you think about these projects on the related talk page, or Growth's annual plan talk page.

Suggested edits

The new "Add an image" section-level task

We released a new Section-level “add an image” structured task to Growth pilot wikis (Arabic, Bengali, Czech, and Spanish). This task was part of the Structured Data Across Wikipedia project. We are monitoring the edits made, and we look for community feedback as well.

Suggested Edits are now receiving topic predictions via the new Language-Agnostic Topic Classification. This change affects non-English Wikipedia wikis. It will ensure newcomers receive a greater diversity of task recommendations. Before, as this feature was a test, English Wikipedia was used to select topics. The change is gradual as lists of topics are refreshed when they become empty. The Research team will evaluate the impact in a few months. [50]

Starting on August 1, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link": Georgian Wikipedia, Kara-Kalpak Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Kabardian Wikipedia, Kabiyè Wikipedia, Kikuyu Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Khmer Wikipedia, Kannada Wikipedia, Kashmiri Wikipedia, Colognian Wikipedia, Kurdish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia.

Mentorship

The Growth team provides dedicated features to establish a mentorship program for newcomers. Every newcomer gets a volunteer mentor who provides encouragement and answers questions. Communities can set up or join this mentorship system by visiting Special:ManageMentors. This mentorship system is configurable by the community at Special:EditGrowthConfig.

More communities have implemented mentorship. A Wikimedia Foundation data scientist will be looking at the impact of Mentorship. We will look at the impact on Spanish and English Wikipedia. [51]

The Growth team will also host a Mentoring new editors on Wikipedia session at Wikimania 2023 in Singapore. Workshop attendees will help brainstorm improvements to Growth’s mentorship features.

Positive reinforcement

We will share more complete experiment analysis for all the three parts of the Positive reinforcement project soon. At the moment, the new Impact module, Leveling up, and Personalized praise are still being A/B tested on the Growth team's pilot wikis.

In the meantime, initial leading indicators for the Personalized praise project have been published. Although this is still a relatively small sample, results seem healthy. They show that Mentors are indeed receiving notifications and clicking through to view their praise-worthy mentees.

Growth contributes to IP Editing migration

The Growth team is currently focusing on IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation. It is a project that touches many different Wikimedia Foundation teams. The Growth team will focus on temporary accounts through two main points:

• the user experience of a logged-out user, that switches to a temporary account,
• change Growth-owned extensions and features, so that they work as expected with temporary accounts. [52]

Community Configuration 2.0

We are still in the early planning stage of the Community Configuration 2.0 project:

• We are gathering internal Wikimedia Foundation teams' needs, so as community feedback. [53]
• We have started to investigate design improvements. [54]
• We are also reviewing similar tools that are part of other products. [55]

Lock

Hi,

Could you lock Përdoruesi:Oklean Bubeqi. This is an account created to vandalize.

Cordially. ―Eihel (diskutimet) 2 gusht 2023 02:14 (CEST)

Eihel, hello!
I would but it appears that they have done only 4 contributes in 2019 and thus a block this far in time wouldn't serve much. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 2 gusht 2023 19:05 (CEST)

If it is an IP address that has not been edited for a long time, it is necessary to leave the possibility for other people who would use this address to be able to edit. If an account is created, that the person vandalizes, you have to stop it from continuing, no matter how much time has elapsed. There is no rule, for accounts, concerning a period of vandalism followed by a period of absence of vandalism. Also, you have to leave a mark of vandalism. Cordially. ―Eihel (diskutimet) 5 gusht 2023 00:08 (CEST)

Eihel, yes, I am aware of the general procedure in those cases but the problem is that usually in small wikis we always can't afford afford to do that. Blocking procedures work fine and can be used more freely when there is a vast active community also willing to appeal the said blocks if such needs arise but in SqWiki we're always lacking people to do even the most basic maintenance duties. Therefore we only block recent vandals and even there there is almost never a notice of any kind in the talk page (there is one on the block log of course). — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 11 gusht 2023 09:19 (CEST)

Tom Doshi

Hello Klein Muçi: I am an administrator of the Italian language edition of Wikipedia. I saw that you are an administrator of sq.wikipedia and I thought I would write to inform you that in this article have long been repeated improper edits (the replacement of the photo of the biographed character with a logo that seems to have nothing to do with the character in question). I wanted to know if you could intervene and remedy this. Thank you in advance Quinlan83 (diskutimet) 18 gusht 2023 12:23 (CEST)

Quinlan83, hello! Thank you for the notice! The said user is one that has been doing similar edits in a rather large number of pages lately. I blocked the IP and reverted the edits. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 18 gusht 2023 17:16 (CEST)

Ndryshim i disa hartave me ngjyra

@Klein Muçi Përshëndetje Klein! Unë jam përdorues i ri i Wikipedia dhe kam filluar të shtoj të dhëna në lidhje me disa organizata të ndryshme në botë. Konkretisht, doja tiu kërkoja a mund të beni një ndryshim në seksionin Visa requirements map për disa vende që kërkohet ose jo vizë për to. Konkretisht, po të marrësh në seksionin Visa requirements for Bosnia and Herzegovina citizens: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina_citizens dhe Visa requirements for Montenegrin citizens: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Montenegrin_citizens Australia për këto vende kërkon eVisa (siç kërkon edhe për shtetasit e Uzbekistanit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Uzbekistani_citizens), në të cilin Australia është e ngjyruar me jeshil të lehtë në hartë (për shtetet që kërkon eVisa), dhe jo me gri (për shtetet që kërkon vizë). Dua të përditësoni me jeshil të lehtë Australinë në faqet Visa requirements for Bosnia and Herzegovina citizens dhe Visa requirements for Montenegro citizens. Gjithashtu, të përditësoni Bosnja dhe Herzegovinën, Malin e Zi dhe Uzbekistanin me jeshil të lehtë në faqen Visa policy of Australia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Australia , seksioni Visitor Visa policy map, pasi Australia për këto vende kërkon eVisa. Po të marrësh Shqipërinë: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Albanian_citizens , Maqedoninë e Veriut: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_citizens_of_North_Macedonia dhe Serbinë: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Serbian_citizens , Australia për këto vende kërkon Online Visa për momentin, kështu që deri sa të jetë ky regjim vizash për Shqipërinë, Maqedoninë e Veriut dhe Serbinë, Australia duhet të qëndrojë me gri. (Pasi Bosnja dhe Herzegovina dhe Mali i Zi ka thjesht një vizë elektronike për Australinë, siç e ka Uzbekistani, ndërsa Shqipëria, Maqedonia e Veriut dhe Serbia vizë online).

EDASHI, përshëndetje dhe mirë se ke ardhur! Ndryshimet në fjalë supozohet të bëhen te Wikipedia anglisht apo ajo shqip? — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 13 shtator 2023 14:42 (CEST)

@Klein Muçi Në Wikipedian Anglisht. Ju lutem bëni përditësimet e hartave me ngjyra siç ju shpjegova. Faleminderit EDASHI (diskutimet) 14 shtator 2023 21:01 (CEST)

Tech News: 2023-37

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

Recent changes

• ORES, the revision evaluation service, is now using a new open-source infrastructure on all wikis except for English Wikipedia and Wikidata. These two will follow this week. If you notice any unusual results from the Recent Changes filters that are related to ORES (for example, "Parashikimet e kontributeve cilësore" and "Parashikimet e qëllimit të përdoruesit"), please report them. [82]
• When you are logged in on one Wikimedia wiki and visit a different Wikimedia wiki, the system tries to log you in there automatically. This has been unreliable for a long time. You can now visit the login page to make the system try extra hard. If you feel that made logging in better or worse than it used to be, your feedback is appreciated. [83]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 September. It will be on all wikis from 14 September (calendar).
• The Technical Decision-Making Forum Retrospective team invites anyone involved in the technical field of Wikimedia projects to signup to and join one of their listening sessions on 13 September. Another date will be scheduled later. The goal is to improve the technical decision-making processes.
• As part of the changes for the Better diff handling of paragraph splits wishlist proposal, the inline switch widget in diff pages is being rolled out this week to all wikis. The inline switch will allow viewers to toggle between a unified inline or two-column diff wikitext format. [84]

Future changes

• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 20 September. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [85]
• The Enterprise API is launching a new feature called "breaking news". Currently in BETA, this attempts to identify likely "newsworthy" topics as they are currently being written about in any Wikipedia. Your help is requested to improve the accuracy of its detection model, especially on smaller language editions, by recommending templates or identifiable editing patterns. See more information at the documentation page on MediaWiki or the FAQ on Meta.

Recent changes

• The Vector 2022 skin will now remember the pinned/unpinned status for the Table of Contents for all logged-out users. [90]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 September. It will be on all wikis from 28 September (calendar).

Growth team newsletter #28

Welcome to the twenty-eighth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Community Configuration, concept A: Accordion style

Community Configuration, concept B: Dashboard style

Community configuration 2.0

• Community Configuration 2.0 is a feature that will enable Wikimedia communities to easily customize and configure features to meet their unique needs. This approach provides non-technical moderators with more independence and control over enabling/disabling and customizing features for their communities.
• Technical approach and associated tasks are detailed in this Epic task on Phabricator.
• Initial designs are drafted for two different approaches (see images). We will soon demo interactive prototypes to interested admins, stewards, and experienced editors (T346109). Please let us know if you have feedback on the design approach, or want to participate in prototype testing.

IP Masking

• The Growth team has been working on several updates to ensure Growth maintained features will be compatible with future IP Masking changes. This work has included code changes to: Recent Changes (T343322), Echo notifications (T333531), the Thanks extension (T345679) and Mentorship (T341390).
• Before December, the Growth team will initiate community discussions with the goal of migrating communities from Flow to DiscussionTools. This move aims to minimize the necessity for additional engineering work to make Flow compatible with IP Masking. (T346108)

Mentorship

• We assembled some resources for mentors at Mediawiki wiki. This resource page is translatable and will be linked from the mentor dashboard.
• We are working to resolve a bug related to mentors properly returning after being marked as "Away". (T347024)
• Half of newcomers at English Wikipedia get a mentor assigned to them. To ensure every newcomer receives mentorship, we need additional volunteer mentors at English Wikipedia to achieve a 100% coverage rate. We also encourage experienced users from other wikis to help newcomers at their own community.

Scaling Growth features

• We continue the deployment of the structured task "add a link" to all Wikipedias. We plan to scale the task to all Wikipedias that have link suggestions available by the end of 2023.
• We plan to scale the new Impact Module to all Wikipedias soon, but first we are investigating a bug with the job that refreshes the Impact Module data. (T344428)
• At some wikis, newcomers have access to the "add an image" structured task. This task suggests images that may be relevant to add to unillustrated articles. Newcomers at these wikis can now add images to unillustrated articles sections. (T345940) The wikis that have this task are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table.

Other news

• We disabled the “add an image” task temporarily (T345188) because there was a failure in the image suggestions pipeline (T345141). This is now fixed.
• You can read a report about the Growth team’s representation at Wikimania in Singapore here. Growth team members presented two sessions at Wikimania Singapore.
• After a 2.5 years-long collaboration with Bangala Wikipedia, we have decided to start a collaboration with another wiki. Swahili Wikipedia is now a pilot wiki for Growth experiments.

Tech News: 2023-42

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

Recent changes

• The Unified login system's edge login should now be fixed for some browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera). This means that if you visit a new sister project wiki, you should be logged in automatically without the need to click "Log in" or reload the page. Feedback on whether it's working for you is welcome. [98]
• Edit notices are now available within the MobileFrontend/Minerva skin. This feature was inspired by the gadget on English Wikipedia. See more details in T316178.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 October. It will be on all wikis from 19 October (calendar).

Future changes

• In 3 weeks, in the Vector 2022 skin, code related to addPortletLink and #p-namespaces that was deprecated one year ago will be removed. If you notice tools that should appear next to the "Discussion" tab are then missing, please tell the gadget's maintainers to see instructions in the Phabricator task.

Stampa:Mosha në vite dhe ditë

Përshëndetje, a mund të më ndihmoni të krijoj një shabllon të ri për të llogaritur automatikisht ditët dhe vitet. E nisa modelin por më vonë u ngatërrova dhe nuk di si ta përfundoj modelin që të funksionojë siç duhet. E përktheva nga anglishtja, aty mund të gjeni "En:Template:Age in years and days" kjo është ajo që doja të bëja.

Ja çfarë kam bërë, disa nga këto ndoshta nuk janë të nevojshme, fshini atë që është e panevojshme dhe nëse është e mundur transferoni Shabllonin për llogaritjen e kohës në vite dhe ditë nga anglishtja.

• Fshini ose korrigjoni sa vijon:
• Stampa:Mosha në vite dhe ditë
• Stampa:Mosha në vite dhe ditë/doc
• Stampa:Birth, death and age templates
• Stampa:Age in years and days nts
• Stampa:Age in years and days nts/doc
• Stampa:Mosha në vite dhe ditë/key
• Stampa:Number table sorting
• Stampa:Number table sorting/doc
• Moduli:Number table sorting
• Moduli:Number table sorting/doc
• Stampa:Age in years and days/display

Edhe pse i bëra të gjitha këto, shablloni kryesor ende nuk funksionon. U përpoqa, por nuk ia dola. Faleminderit. Дејан2021 (diskutimet) 25 tetor 2023 12:07 (CEST)

Дејан2021, përshëndetje! Përditësova shumicën e infrastrukturës së stampave e moduleve të llogaritjes së kohës. (Kam ende një pjesë.) Besoj se ke qenë në rrugën e duhur. Thjesht disa nga stampat mbeteshin të palidhura me modulin dhe më duket se moduli vetë ishte i papërditësuar (nuk jam i sigurt për këtë tani pasi kam kaluar shumë stampa e module në duar këtë 1 orë). Nuk kam kryer asnjë përkthim (madje mund të kem kthyer padashje disa përkthime parametrash të kryera) dhe nuk kam kryer asnjë përshtatje për formatin e datave. Më thuaj nëse funksionon tashmë dhe nëse jo, më trego problemin specifik që has. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 25 tetor 2023 13:07 (CEST)

E shkëlqyeshme, tani funksionon, por rezultatet e llogaritjes shfaqen në anglisht, në vend të shqipes. Ja një shembull ku përdoret shablloni, mosha në vite dhe ditë është shënuar në anglisht, duhet të jetë në shqip. ({{Age in years and days|1913|5|28}}=110 years, 150 days---> 110 vjet, 150 ditë / 110 vjeç, 150 ditë).

• Njerëzit më të vjetër në Ballkani

Përveç kësaj, këta dy artikuj që kam filluar më parë duhet të fshihen sepse tani kam krijuar artikullin kryesor (rajonal) "Njerëzit më të vjetër në Ballkan" ku do të shtoj edhe një listë të njerëzve më të vjetër sipas vendeve të Ballkanit, kështu që listat individuale janë nuk nevojitet, sepse gjithçka mund të përshtatet në një artikull.

Dy artikuj për t'u fshirë (Unë e fillova, fshiji ato):

• Njerëzit më të vjetër në Shqipëri
• Njëqindvjeçarët e Maqedonisë së Veriut

Kjo është e gjitha, faleminderit përsëri. — Дејан2021 (diskutimet) 25 tetor 2023 14:52 (CEST)

Дејан2021, përkthimi duhet të kryhet te Moduli:Age. Kur të mundesh hidhi një sy pasi ka udhëzime të shkruara për kryerjen e përkthimit. Nga përkthimi atje do të përfitojnë tërë stampat e tjera që përdorin atë modul. Për sa i përket fshirjes së artikujve, mund ta kryej lehtësisht por mos është më mirë të ekzistojnë dhe listat e veçuara dhe ato rajonale? Ka artikuj homologë në anglisht tema që po trajton? Si janë atje? — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 26 tetor 2023 00:58 (CEST)

@Klein Muçi, Nuk ka lista individuale në gjuhën angleze, ekziston vetëm një listë e njerëzve më të moshuar sipas vendeve, si dhe një listë e njerëzve më të vjetër sipas kontinentit (Evropë, Afrikë, Azi... të gjitha në një artikull). Artikulli "Njerëzit më të vjetër në Ballkan" mund të përfshijë lista ashtu siç bën në anglisht artikulli "Njerëzit më të vjetër sipas kontinentit". Do të jetë shumë më e lehtë të ruash një artikull me të dhëna të freskëta sesa pesë artikuj me të dhëna të vjetruara. Kjo është gjithçka që ka në anglisht:

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_oldest_people_by_country
• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_supercentenarians_by_continent

Dhe sigurisht lista e njerëzve më të vjetër ndonjëherë, globalisht.

Prandaj, është më e lehtë të ruash dy artikuj mbi temën e jetëgjatësisë sesa pesë artikuj më të vegjël. Artikujt që duhen mbajtur janë:

• Njëqindvjeçarët
• Superqindvjeçarët
• Njëqindvjeçarët shqiptarë
• Njerëzit me të vjetër
• Njerëzit më të vjetër në Ballkani

Gjithsej pesë artikuj mbi temën e jetëgjatësisë, mjaft. - Дејан2021 (diskutimet) 26 tetor 2023 06:49 (CEST)

Дејан2021, në rregull.  U bë!— Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 26 tetor 2023 11:11 (CEST)

@Klein Muçi, Fshijeni gjithashtu këtë: (ridrejtim i gabuar): Njerëzit më të vjetër në Kosovë - Дејан2021 (diskutimet) 26 tetor 2023 11:39 (CEST)

Дејан2021:  U bë!— Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 26 tetor 2023 11:45 (CEST)

Shablloni punon përsëri, tani asnjë nga shabllonet nuk funksionon, duke përfshirë shabllonet: "Data e vdekjes dhe mosha", pastaj "Mosha në vite dhe ditë"--> (Stampa:Death date and age) ; (Stampa:Age in years and days)...Дејан2021 (diskutimet) 1 nëntor 2023 16:29 (CET)

Дејан2021, në ç'kuptim nuk funksionojnë? — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 2 nëntor 2023 10:46 (CET)

@Klein Muçi Nuk funksionon në asnjë artikull që përdor shabllonet "Data dhe mosha e vdekjes" dhe "Mosha në vite dhe ditë".

Këtu janë vetëm dy shembuj, të gjithë artikujt e tjerë që përdorin shabllonin duken njësoj:

• Death date and age: Zenepe Pirani
• Age in years and days: Njerëzit më të vjetër në Ballkan Дејан2021 (diskutimet) 2 nëntor 2023 11:33 (CET)

• ┌──────────────────────────────┘
  Дејан2021, faleminderit! Do të përpiqem ta rregulloj. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 2 nëntor 2023 12:17 (CET)
  • @Дејан2021, me sa duket, stampat janë në rregull në vetvete. Problemi i vetëm është se ne e ndryshuam modulin që të funksiononte me formatin e datës DMV, formati që kërkojnë rregullat e shqipes, por harruam të ndryshonim mesazhet e gabimeve që vazhdonin të kërkonin të përdorej formati VMD, që ishte formati që përdorte EnWiki. Tani janë përditësuar dhe ato. Ndrysho datat sipas formatit të kërkuar nga mesazhet e gabimeve nëpër artikujt përkatës e nuk duhet të ketë probleme të tjera. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 2 nëntor 2023 17:29 (CET)

Tech News: 2023-44

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

Recent changes

• The Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving UploadWizard on Commons, made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work (T347590), as well as to the licensing step for own work (T347756).
• The Design Systems team has released version 1.0.0 of Codex, the new design system for Wikimedia. See the full announcement about the release of Codex 1.0.0.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
• Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [100][101]
• Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [102]

Future changes

• There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
• The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.

Pyetje nga Elisa Prendi nëpërmjet panelit të ndihmës (1 nëntor 2023 13:53)

Pershendetje Klein, Kam bere disa ndryshime ne profilin e Sherbimit Gjeologjik Shqiptar ne Wikipedia dhe me duhet informacion se si mund ta pershpejtoj procesin e pranimit dhe publikimit te ndryshimeve qe kam bere. Duhet te vizualizohet emri i drejtuesit te ri te institucionit. Duke te falenderuar per mirekuptimin, mbetem ne pritje te pergjigjes! Pune te mbare, Elisa Prendi. --Elisa Prendi (diskutimet) 1 nëntor 2023 13:53 (CET)

Elisa Prendi, përshëndetje!
Praktikisht nuk ka një mënyrë si mund të përshpejtohet si proces për fat të keq. Wikipedia shqip vuan nga mungesa e kontrolluesve aktivë kështu që miratimi apo refuzimi i ndryshimeve të reja mund të marrë goxha kohë. Aktualisht me mijëra ndryshime presin në listën për kontroll prej disa muajsh dhe kontrolli kryhet pak a shumë në mënyrë rastësore prej dëshirës së vullnetarëve aktivë. Ky është një problem i kahershëm i joni që mund të zgjidhet vetëm nëse shtohet numri i përgjithshëm i vullnetarëve ose zhvillohen teknika automatike për kontrollin e tyre. Me futjen e inteligjencës artificiale po punohet disi ne këtë aspektin e dytë në një nivel global por punimet janë ende në një fazë fillestare. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 2 nëntor 2023 10:54 (CET)

Te falenderoj, pune te mbare! 92.60.22.222 2 nëntor 2023 12:51 (CET)

Pyetje nga Taulantia nëpërmjet panelit të ndihmës (2 nëntor 2023 08:53)

Përshëndetje Klein, vizitova profilin tënd në Wikipedia, çfarë duhet të ketë faqja personale e imja në këtë moment? Taulanti --Taulantia (diskutimet) 2 nëntor 2023 08:53 (CET)

Taulantia, përshëndetje!
Mund të shkruash një prezantim të shkurtër për qëllimin tënd në "Wikipedia", me çfarë ke qejf të angazhohesh, për shembull të rregullosh gabime drejtshkrimore apo të shkruash artikuj rreth një teme të caktuar. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 2 nëntor 2023 10:48 (CET)

Pyetje nga Lumi 2005 te Vasileva (Drenas) (11 nëntor 2023 23:26)

Pershendje, si mund të shtoj informacione për fshatin tim --Lumi 2005 (diskutimet) 11 nëntor 2023 23:26 (CET)

Lumi 2005, përshëndetje! Thjesht shtyp butonin "Redakto" sipër te artikulli në fjalë dhe mund të shkruash lirshëm. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 12 nëntor 2023 00:10 (CET)

Aprovim te ndryshimeve te bera ne artikullin Jani Dode

Pershendetje,

Do deshiroja qe ndryshimet e bera nga une (date 12.11.2023) ne kete artikull te aprovohen. Jani Dode - Wikipedia

Si edhe per ndryshimet e tjera te kem mundesine e redaktimit dhe aprovimit duke qene se personi ne fjale eshte babi im.

Do deshiroja qe ky artikull te perkthehej ne gjuhe te tjera, por Wikipedia s'ma lejon kete mundesi, pasi nuk kam kontribute mjaftueshem.

Ju falemiderit ! Albi.dode (diskutimet) 12 nëntor 2023 17:21 (CET)

Albi.dode, përshëndetje!
Fatkeqësisht Wikipedia shqip prej kohësh gjendet në një mungesë të theksuar kontrolluesish aktivë dhe kjo bën që aprovimi i ndryshimeve në pritje të marrë goxha kohë. Për këtë nuk ka ndonjë zgjidhje konkrete përveç durimit. Kemi kohë që bëjmë thirrje për aktivizëm e vullnetarizëm në këtë drejtim por deri tani situata mbetet pak a shumë njëlloj. — Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 15 nëntor 2023 04:12 (CET)

Tech News: 2023-46

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

Recent changes

• Four new wikis have been created:
  • a Wikipedia in Moroccan Amazigh (w:zgh:) [107]
  • a Wikipedia in Dagaare (w:dga:) [108]
  • a Wikipedia in Toba Batak (w:bbc:) [109]
  • a Wikiquote in Banjar (q:bjn:) [110]

Problems

• Last week, users who previously visited Meta-Wiki or Wikimedia Commons and then became logged out on those wikis could not log in again. The problem is now resolved. [111]
• Last week, some pop-up dialogs and menus were shown with the wrong font size. The problem is now resolved. [112]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 November. It will be on all wikis from 16 November (calendar).

Future changes

• Reference Previews are coming to many wikis as a default feature. They are popups for references, similar to the PagePreviews feature. You can opt out of seeing them. If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews. Deployment is planned for November 22, 2023.
• Canary (also known as heartbeat) events will be produced into Wikimedia event streams from December 11. Streams users are advised to filter out these events, by discarding all events where meta.domain == "canary". Updates to Pywikibot or wikimedia-streams will discard these events by default. [113]

• The Vector 2022 skin will have some minor visual changes to drop-down menus, column widths, and more. These changes were added to four Wikipedias last week. If no issues are found, these changes will proceed to all wikis this week. These changes will make it possible to add new menus for readability and dark mode. Learn more. [119]

Future changes
