== Wikidata Bridge: edit Wikidata’s data from Wikipedia infoboxes == |
|||
<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> |
|||
''Sorry for writing this message in English - feel free to help us translating it :)'' |
|||
Hello all, |
|||
Many language versions of Wikipedia use the content of [[Wikidata]], the centralized knowledge base, to fill out the content of infoboxes. The data is stored in Wikidata and displayed, partially or completely, in the Wikipedia’s language, on the articles. |
|||
This feature is used by many template editors, but brought several issues that were raised by communities in various places: not being able to edit the data directly from Wikipedia was one of them. |
|||
This is the reason why the '''[[mw:Wikidata Bridge|Wikidata Bridge]]''' project started, with the goal of offering a way to Wikipedia editors to edit Wikidata’s data more easily. This will be achieved by an interface, connected to the infobox, that users can access directly from their local wiki. |
|||
The project is now at an early stage of development. A lot of [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge/Research|user research]] has been done, and will continue to be done through the different phases of the project. The next steps of [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge/Development|development]] will be achieved by the development team working at Wikimedia Deutschland, starting now until the end of 2019. |
|||
In order to make sure that we’re building a tool that is answering editors’ needs, we’re using agile methods in our development process. We don’t start with a fixed idea of the tool we want to deliver: we will build it together with the editors, based on feedback loops that we will regularly organize. The first version will not necessarily have all of the features you want, but it will keep evolving. |
|||
Here’s the planned timeline: |
|||
* From June to August, we will build the setup and technical groundwork. |
|||
* From September to November 2019, we will develop the first version of the feature and publish a test system so you can try it and give feedback. |
|||
* Later on, we will test the feature on a few projects, in collaboration with the communities. |
|||
** We will first focus on early adopters communities who already implemented a shortcut from their infoboxes to edit Wikidata (for example Russian, Catalan, Basque Wikipedias) |
|||
** but we also welcome also communities who [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge/Get_involved|volunteer to be part of the first test round]]. |
|||
** Then we will reach some of the big Wikipedias (French, German, English) in order to see if the project scales and to address their potentially different needs. |
|||
** Even later, we can consider enabling the feature on all the other projects. |
|||
In any case, no deployment or big change will be enforced on the projects without talking to the communities first, and helping the template builders to prepare for the changes they will have to do on the infoboxes’ code. |
|||
If you want to get involved, there are several ways to help: |
|||
* Read and help translating [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge|the documentation pages]] |
|||
* Follow the [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge/Updates|updates]] and participate in [[mw:Topic:V1x2lxtu8rgi954a|the first feedback loop]] |
|||
* Talk about it with your local community |
|||
More ideas will be added [[mw:Wikidata_Bridge/Get_involved|on this page]] along the way |
|||
If you have any questions for the development team, feel free to ask them [[mw:Talk:Wikidata_Bridge|on the main talk page]]. You can also ask under this message, but if you expect an answer from me, please make sure to ping me. |
|||
Thanks for your attention, [[:d:User:Lea Lacroix (WMDE)|Lea Lacroix (WMDE)]] 13:03, 24 சூன் 2019 (UTC) |

உள்ளடக்க மொழிபெயர்ப்பில் மேற்கோள் சிக்கல்
தற்போது உள்ள மேம்படுத்தப்பட்ட உள்ளடக்க கொழிபெயர்ப்பு பக்கத்தில் கட்டுரைகளை மொழிபெயர்த்து வெளியிடும்போது தமிழில் கட்டுரை வெளியாகும்போது மேற்கோள்களானது வழுவுடன் தோன்றுகிறது. இதனால் அவற்றை அழித்துவிட்டு ஆங்கிலக் கட்டுரையில் உள்ள மேற்கோள்களை புதியதாக வெட்டி ஒட்டவேண்டியுள்ளது. இதுபோன்ற சிக்கல் யாருக்கவது உள்ளதா. இதை சரிசெய்ய இயலுமா.--அருளரசன் (பேச்சு) 05:59, 6 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)
- பொதுவாக மேற்கோள்கள் ஒருமுறை சுட்டிக்காட்டிவிட்டு அதன் பெயரையே பின்னர் மேற்கோளாகப் பயன்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. அவ்வகையில் நீங்கள் காட்டிய இடங்களில் name="diamonddivas" name="timesindia" என்பது பெயர்கள், அதற்குமுன் அந்த மேற்கோள் அப்பக்கத்தில் சுட்டிக்காட்டினால் தான் செயல்படும். கூடுமானவரை மொழிபெயர்க்கையில் அனைத்து மேற்கோள்களையும் அப்படியே வைத்திருந்தால் இச்சிக்கலைத் தவிர்க்கலாம் என நினைக்கிறேன் -நீச்சல்காரன் (பேச்சு) 09:30, 6 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)
\\\கூடுமானவரை மொழிபெயர்க்கையில் அனைத்து மேற்கோள்களையும் அப்படியே வைத்திருந்தால் இச்சிக்கலைத் தவிர்க்கலாம் என நினைக்கிறேன்\\\ நீச்சல்காரன் இந்தக் கட்டுரையில் அனைத்து மேற்கோள்களையும் அப்படியேதான் வைத்துள்ளேன். இதன் பக்க வரலாற்றைக் கண்டாலே தெரியும்.--அருளரசன் (பேச்சு) 09:46, 7 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)
- @Arularasan. G: முதல் வரிசையில் உள்ள ref name="timesindia" என்ற மேற்கோள் கட்டுரையின் பிறிதொரு பகுதியிலேயே முழுமையாகத் தரப்பட்டுள்ளது. இதனாலேயே இப்பிரச்சினை வருகிறது என நினைக்கிறேன். முதலாவதலேயே முழுமையாகத் தந்திருந்தால் சரியாக வரலாம்.--Kanags (பேச்சு) 10:13, 7 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

Recent changes
- You can now use Google Translate in the content translation tool. [5][6]
- You can now add captions to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup.
- Earlier a quoted HTML attribute had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [7][8]
- Templates with <templatestyles> could not show the difference between the live template and the sandbox version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. <templatestyles> has a new
wrapper
parameter now. You can use it for selectors like.mw-parser-output <wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page>
. [9]
Problems
- When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have tags. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [10]
Changes later this week
- You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new FileExporter. It will be a beta feature on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you activate it and check your wiki's configuration file.
- Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [11]
- The AbuseFilter variable
minor_edit
has been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on Special:AbuseFilter. - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 15 17:54, 14 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

Tech News
- Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta. [12]
Recent changes
- The content translation tool can now use version 2 as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature. For example it adds the tracking category
மதிப்பாய்வு செய்யப்படாத மொழிபெயர்ப்புகளைக் கொண்ட பக்கங்கள்
to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category inSpecial:TrackingCategories
on Wikipedias. - https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF, EPUB or ODT. Previously this was 200 pages.
Problems
- When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [13]
- MassMessage is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [14][15]
- Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [16]
Changes later this week
- You will be able to use template styles in the
Module
namespace. [17] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (calendar).

Recent changes
- Pages can use geocoordinates from Wikidata with the
mw.wikibase.entity:formatStatements
Lua function or the#statements
parser function. If they do, they will now be shown using a Kartographer<maplink>
if the wiki can use Kartographer. You can report bugs or ask questions on Phabricator. - There is now an EventStream to see when links are added or removed on Wikimedia wikis. You can read the discussions and plans.
Problems
- Some wikis will not be able to edit for a short period of time on 19 March (UTC). This will start at 15:00 UTC. It will last up to 15 minutes but probably shorter. You can see the list of affected wikis. This is because of network maintenance. You can still read the wikis.
- Editors who use Firefox to edit with the visual editor had a problem with copying text. When they tried to select text that included footnotes, templates or block images in the middle they would often only get part of the text. This has now been fixed. [26]
- Some maps didn't work for a while on 8 March. This has been fixed. [27][28]

Recent changes
- The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [32]
Problems
- There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [33]
- The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [34]
- Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [35]

Recent changes
- More wikis are now testing visual editor section editing for mobile users. You can read more.
- Admins on French and Polish Wikipedia can block someone from editing a page or a namespace. If your wiki wants to get these blocks before they are available to all wikis, you can tell the developers. [37][38]
Problems
- You will be able read but not edit most wikis for 30 minutes on 11 April at 05:00 (UTC). This is because of a hardware problem. You can see a list of the affected wikis. [39]

- You will be able to preview references. This means that when you hover over the link you will get a popup that shows you a preview of the reference. It will work much like page previews. This is so you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will now be available as a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia. [45][46]
- The Wikidata JSON output will change. Empty containers will be serialised as empty objects. This is a breaking change that will affect tools that use JSON outputs and APIs. It will happen on 30 April. You can read more and see how to test your code.

தானியங்கி மூலம் பகுப்புகள் இணைத்தல்/நீக்குதல்
AswnBot மூலம் பகுப்புகள் இணைத்தல் படிப்படியாக நடக்குமாறு செய்துள்ளேன். நேற்று தானியங்கியினை இயக்கியதில் சில பிழைகள் அடிபட்டன
- சில கட்டுரைகள் தவறான ஆங்கிலக் கட்டுரையுடன் இணைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன
- வழிமாற்று விக்கிதரவில் இணைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது - கட்டுரையில் இல்லை
- பிறப்பு/இறப்பு ஆண்டுகள் தவறாக உள்ளன
- மறைந்த நபர்கள் கட்டுரைகளில் வாழும் நபர்கள் பகுப்பு இணைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது (கட்டுரை புதுப்பிக்கப்படவில்லை)
நான்காம் பிழையினைத் தானியங்கி மூலமாகச் செய்ய இயலும். பிற பிழைகள் இயன்றவரை நான் திருத்த முயல்கிறேன். விக்கிப்பீடியர்கள் இப்பிழைகளைக் கண்டால் அவற்றைத் திருத்துமாறு வேண்டிக்கொள்கிறேன். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 08:17, 18 ஏப்ரல் 2019 (UTC)
- இத்தகைய தொகுப்புகளைத் தானியங்கி மூலம் எதற்காக செய்ய வேண்டும்? நீங்கள் ஆங்கிலக் கட்டுரைகளை மூலமாகக் கொள்கிறீர்கள். அக்கட்டுரையின் தரவுகள் சரியானவையா எனப் பார்த்தீர்களா? (பார்க்க: [49]). பிழையானவற்றை நீங்களே சரி செய்யுங்கள். உங்களின் ஆயிரக்கணக்கான தானியங்கித் தொகுப்புகளை சரி பார்க்க எவருக்கும் நேரமில்லை.Kanags (பேச்சு) 08:22, 18 ஏப்ரல் 2019 (UTC)
- கட்டுரைகள் சரியாக பகுப்பாக்கப்பட்டிருந்தால் படிப்போர்கும் திருத்துவோர்க்கும் பயன்படும். நான் copy paste செய்து தானியங்கியினை இயக்கவில்லை. ஆங்கில விக்கியிற்கும் த.விக்கியிற்கும் பொருந்தும் பகுப்பு hierarchy மட்டுமே சரிபார்க்கப்பட்டு, அதிலும் மொழி பகுப்புகள் பொருத்தப்பட்டு, பராமரிப்பு பகுப்புகள் விலக்கப்பட்டு இயங்கும் வண்ணம் எழுதப்பட்டுள்ளது. ஸ்கிரிப்டில் பிழைகள் நிகழா வண்ணமே தக்க முன்னெச்சரிக்கைகளுடன் இயக்கப்படுகின்றது. இன்னும் அதிக மேற்பார்வையில் பொறுமையாக இயக்க முயல்கிறேன். இயலவில்லை ஏன்றால் விட்டுவிடுகின்றேன். தானியங்கி இயக்கப்படுவது தமிழ் விக்கியிற்காகவே. நன்றி --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 08:59, 18 ஏப்ரல் 2019 (UTC)
புதிய தரவுத்தள அறிக்கை: கவனிப்பு தேவைப்படும் இறந்தவர்களின் கட்டுரைகள்
இந்த அறிக்கையில் பட்டியலிடப்பட்ட கட்டுரைகள் விரைவில் திருத்தப்பட வேண்டும். அவர்களின் இறப்பு விவரங்களை இட்டப் பிறகு பகுப்பு:வாழும் நபர்கள்-ஐ நீக்குதல் அவசியம். இந்த அறிக்கை வாரம் ஒருமுறை புதுப்பிக்கப்படும். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 13:59, 18 ஏப்ரல் 2019 (UTC)
- @Aswn: உங்களின் இப்பட்டியலைக் கண்டேன். மிக நல்ல தொகுப்பு ஆனால் சில கட்டுரைகளை ஆய்வு செய்ததில் சில ஐயம். [50] உங்கள் தானியங்கிதான் வாழும் நபர்கள் என்ற பகுப்பைச் சேர்க்கிறது. அது போல அக்கட்டுரையாளரின் மறைவிற்குப் பின்னர் இறப்புகள் என்றும் இடுகிறது. இரண்டையும் கொண்டு தானியங்கி வழியாகவே திருத்த இயலுமே. இந்தப் பட்டியலின் நோக்கம் வேறு ஏதேனும் உள்ளதா? பொதுவாக உங்கள் தானியங்கி என்ன என்ன செய்கிறது என்பதை அதன் பயனர் பக்கத்தில் சிறு குறிப்புகளுடன் இடக்கோருகிறேன். இதன் மூலம் இத்தகைய பக்கங்களின் தேவையை மற்றவர்கள் உணரவோ மேம்படுத்தவோ உதவும். -நீச்சல்காரன் (பேச்சு) 08:04, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)
- தானியங்கியின் செயல்களை பயனர் பக்கத்தில் குறிப்பிடுகின்றேன். வாழும் நபர்கள் பகுப்பை நீக்குமாறு தானியங்கியை இயக்கினால் பயனில்லை. ஏனெனில் கட்டுரையில் இறப்பின் விவரம் தானியங்கியால் இடப்படாது. இப்பட்டியலினைக் கொண்டு பயனர்கள் திருத்தங்களை மேற்கொள்வதே சரி என்று கருதுகின்றேன். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 12:18, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)
- @Aswn: சையது ஐதர் ராசா வாழும் நபர்கள் என்றும் 2016 இறப்புகள் என்றும் உள்ளது. இவர் செத்துப்போனாரா இல்ல உயிரோடு இருக்கிறாரா? --க.மாதவன் (பேச்சு) 09:19, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)
- நபரின் இறப்பு விவரம் கட்டுரையில் இருப்பின் வாழும் நபர் பகுப்பினை நீக்கிடலாம். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 12:18, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)
- @Aswn: சையது ஐதர் ராசா வாழும் நபர்கள் என்றும் 2016 இறப்புகள் என்றும் உள்ளது. இவர் செத்துப்போனாரா இல்ல உயிரோடு இருக்கிறாரா? --க.மாதவன் (பேச்சு) 09:19, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)
- அப்படியெனில் இறப்பு குறித்த தகவல்களை பயனரொருவர் உள்ளிட ஏதுவாக இரு பகுப்புகளும் உள்ளனவா? ஒரே நேரத்தில் இரு பகுப்புகளும் ஒரு கட்டுரையில் இருப்பது முரணாக அமையும் என நினைக்கிறேன். ..இறப்புகள் பகுப்பை இடும்போதே அந்தக் கட்டுரையில் வாழும் நபர்கள் என்ற பகுப்பு இருந்தால் அதை நீக்கி விட்டுச் சேர்க்க, உங்கள் தானியங்கியால் இயலுமா? ஆனால் அவ்வாறு நீக்க இயலாவிட்டால் இறப்புகள் பகுப்பை இடாமல் மேலே குறிப்பிட்ட தரவுத்தள அறிக்கைகளில் பட்டியலிட்டு துப்புரவு செய்யச் சுட்டிக்காட்டலாம். காரணம் பயனர் க. மாதவன் குறிப்பிட்டது போல படிப்பவரைக் குழப்பும் எனக் கருதுகிறேன். நன்றி-நீச்சல்காரன் (பேச்சு) 12:46, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)
- இப்பணியிற்கு தானியங்கியை இயக்குவதை நிறுத்திவிட்டேன். பிற்காலத்தில் இவ்வண்ணம் செய்ய கவனத்தில் கொள்கிறேன். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 17:04, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)
- தானியங்கியின் செயல்களை பயனர் பக்கத்தில் குறிப்பிடுகின்றேன். வாழும் நபர்கள் பகுப்பை நீக்குமாறு தானியங்கியை இயக்கினால் பயனில்லை. ஏனெனில் கட்டுரையில் இறப்பின் விவரம் தானியங்கியால் இடப்படாது. இப்பட்டியலினைக் கொண்டு பயனர்கள் திருத்தங்களை மேற்கொள்வதே சரி என்று கருதுகின்றேன். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 12:18, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)

Module:Convert அலகுகள் மொழிபெயர்ப்பு
Module:Convert பெரிதும் ஆங்கிலத்திலேயே அலகுகளைக் காட்டுகிறது. இதனை மொழிபெயர்ப்பது தற்போது எளிதாக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. நேரடியாக Module:Convert/data வினை மொழிபெயர்க்கத் தேவையில்லை. வேண்டிய மொழிபெயர்ப்பு/திருத்தங்களை வார்ப்புரு:Convert/conversion data பக்கத்தில் மேற்கொள்ளலாம். மாற்றங்களைப் பதிந்த பின்னர் Module talk:Convert/makeunits பக்கத்தினை purge செய்து(பக்கத்திலேயே இணைப்பு உள்ளது), அந்த பக்கத்தில் உள்ளவற்றை அப்படியே Module:Convert/data பக்கத்தில் இட்டால் போதும். திருத்தங்கள் தொடர்பான விவரங்களுக்கு ஆங்கில விக்கி பக்கத்தினை பார்க்கலாம். நன்றி -அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 14:38, 31 மே 2019 (UTC)

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review
Hello. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on smaller wikis. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):
- Krishnaprasaths (administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, Rschen7754 02:38, 19 சூன் 2019 (UTC)
Wikidata Bridge: edit Wikidata’s data from Wikipedia infoboxes
Sorry for writing this message in English - feel free to help us translating it :)
Hello all,
Many language versions of Wikipedia use the content of Wikidata, the centralized knowledge base, to fill out the content of infoboxes. The data is stored in Wikidata and displayed, partially or completely, in the Wikipedia’s language, on the articles. This feature is used by many template editors, but brought several issues that were raised by communities in various places: not being able to edit the data directly from Wikipedia was one of them.
This is the reason why the Wikidata Bridge project started, with the goal of offering a way to Wikipedia editors to edit Wikidata’s data more easily. This will be achieved by an interface, connected to the infobox, that users can access directly from their local wiki.
The project is now at an early stage of development. A lot of user research has been done, and will continue to be done through the different phases of the project. The next steps of development will be achieved by the development team working at Wikimedia Deutschland, starting now until the end of 2019.
In order to make sure that we’re building a tool that is answering editors’ needs, we’re using agile methods in our development process. We don’t start with a fixed idea of the tool we want to deliver: we will build it together with the editors, based on feedback loops that we will regularly organize. The first version will not necessarily have all of the features you want, but it will keep evolving.
Here’s the planned timeline:
- From June to August, we will build the setup and technical groundwork.
- From September to November 2019, we will develop the first version of the feature and publish a test system so you can try it and give feedback.
- Later on, we will test the feature on a few projects, in collaboration with the communities.
- We will first focus on early adopters communities who already implemented a shortcut from their infoboxes to edit Wikidata (for example Russian, Catalan, Basque Wikipedias)
- but we also welcome also communities who volunteer to be part of the first test round.
- Then we will reach some of the big Wikipedias (French, German, English) in order to see if the project scales and to address their potentially different needs.
- Even later, we can consider enabling the feature on all the other projects.
In any case, no deployment or big change will be enforced on the projects without talking to the communities first, and helping the template builders to prepare for the changes they will have to do on the infoboxes’ code.
If you want to get involved, there are several ways to help:
- Read and help translating the documentation pages
- Follow the updates and participate in the first feedback loop
- Talk about it with your local community
More ideas will be added on this page along the way
If you have any questions for the development team, feel free to ask them on the main talk page. You can also ask under this message, but if you expect an answer from me, please make sure to ping me.
Thanks for your attention, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 13:03, 24 சூன் 2019 (UTC)
