Wikikönyvek/Társalgó

Üdvözlünk!

Rövidítése:
WK:TÁRS

Ez a Társalgó, a virtuális Wikikönyvek központi üzenőfala, ahova bárki felvésheti a Wikikönyvekkel kapcsolatos általános kérdéseit, amire egyikünk remélhetőleg válaszol, ha tud.

A konkrét könyveinkkel kapcsolatban azok lapjainak vitalapján, e szócikkel kapcsolatban e cikk vitalapján is kérdezhetsz; míg ha tesztelni, játszani, firkálni akarsz, kérjük, inkább a Homokozót használd. Az adminisztrátoroknak szóló sürgős üzeneteidet az Üzenőfalra írd.

Társalgó: Archívumok

Az aktualitásukból vesztő és túl nagy méretű közösségi lapokat időnként archívumokba mentjük. Kérjük, ezekbe ne írj.

Szeméthegyek

Egy panasz kapcsán néztem rá zeus.btk.ppke.hu (pazmany) barátunkra, mert hogy komplett könyvet copypaste-elt be, és látom, hogy egy csomó kétes anyagot köszönhetünk ennek a gépnek. Egy része Dubaduba „áldásos” tevékenysége lehet (biztos megunta a lopott cuccok wikiszótárba töltését, és átugrott ide), más része más elte btk-s Homo Unsapiensek műve lehet, de wikisource szövegektől a vitalapokon át a komplett Tóra bemásolásáig userlapra minden van. Elkezdtem törölgetni a nyilvánvaló dolgokat, de szerintem az érintett és 2006 óta nem módosított userlapok alatti tartalmakat le kellene darálni, mert jelentős része szerintem lopott (pl. gondolom a Tóra nem copyrightos, de a fordításai igen stb). --grin ✎ 2010. október 6., 11:09 (CEST)

2010 Fundraising Is Almost Here

Szisztok Wikimedians! My name is Sam and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2010 Fundraiser. My job is to be the liaison between the Hungarian community and the Foundation. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative and global effort - we recognize that banner messages which may perform well in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to international audiences.

I'm contacting you as I am currently looking for translators who are willing to contribute to this project by helping translate and localize messages into Hungarian and suggesting messages that would appeal to Hungarian readers on the Fundraising Meta Page. We've started the setup on meta for both banner submission, statistical analysis, and grouping volunteers together.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us, and add your feedback to the proposed messages as well! I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser. If someone could translate this message I would really appreciate it so that everyone is able to understand our goals and contribute to this year's campaign.Köszönöm szépen!

vandálszűrő

Folyamatban --grin ✎ 2010. december 8., 16:14 (CET)

Kedves KeFe, ez egy straw poll, bárki szavazhat, aki Wikikönyv szerkesztő, légy olyan kedves és ne töröld mások szavazatait. Ez a Társalgó, nem pedig egy hivatalos szavazási lap. Köszönöm szépen. --grin ✎

Kedves Grin, Ismét túlzol, Nem töröltem, még csak át sem húztam, hanem kimondtam, hogy érvénytelen a szavazata, mert 6-8 apró szerkesztése van összesen. Talán olvasd el a szavazásról szóló lapot. Ráadásul adsz egy linket straw poll (mert tudod, hogy nem beszélek angolul), pedig írhattad volna, hogy ez egy "Próbaszavazás" és más szabályok (gumi szabályok) érvényesek rá. Ha esetleg még sem így van, miért nem fordítottad le a linkelt oldalt a többivel együtt? Az angol wiki szabályai itt nem érvényesek, nem vettük (vetted) át, és nem szavazta meg senki. Vagyis nincs ilyen szabályunk. Az már más lapra tartozik, hogy véleményem szerint a vandál szűrő telepítését nem is kellene megszavazni, mint ahogy nem szavaztunk más segédanyagok feltelepítésénél sem. Valaki feltelepíti őket és a beállításokban be, vagy kikapcsolhatók. Remélem eztán sűrűbben jársz a Wikikönyvekbe és törölgeted a vandál bejegyzéseket, mert ez idáig nem sűrűn tetted.

Más: Éppen te kifogásolod, hogy mások szerkesztői lapjára nem írhat senki, akkor légy szíves te is tartsd be ezt a szabályt és tedd át Brunnerzs lapjáról a vitalapjára az üzenetedet. Én azért nem teszem, mert már figyelmeztettél néhány évvel ezelőtt, és a gumiszabályok rám nem vonatkoznak. - Üdv. » KeFe « vitalapom 2010. december 12., 05:48 (CET)

Call for image filter referendum

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at Meta:Image filter referendum shortly.

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

• Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
• New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
• The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
• Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
• Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
• Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
• The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
• More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
• Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
• Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
• Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 2012. január 15., 01:13 (CET)

MediaWiki 1.19

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki (the software powering this wiki) to its latest version this month. You can help to test it before it is enabled, to avoid disruption and breakage. More information is available in the full announcement. Thank you for your understanding.

Survey invitation

First, I apologize that part of this message is in English. If you can assist by translating it for your local community, I would greatly appreciate it.

The Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to take part in a brief survey.

A felmérés segítségével az Alapítvány azt szeretné megtudni, hogy a wikipédistáknak milyen erőforrásokra van szükségük (ezek közül némelyik külön támogatást igényel) és milyen fontossági sorrendben. Nem minden Alapítványi programot találsz meg itt (az alapvető üzemeltetési feladatokat célzottan kihagytuk) - csak azokat az erőforrásokat, amelyeket az egyes szerkesztők vagy éppen a helyi egyesületek igényelhetnek.

Az a célunk ezzel, hogy megtudjuk, TE (vagy egy csoport, helyi társszervezet, klub) mit tartasz fontosnak, sorrendet állítva fel az egyes lehetőségek között. A listára nem kerültek fel olyan kérések, mint pl. "üzemeltessük a szervereket", mivel ezek nem az egyes szerkesztők vagy éppen az egyesületek felelősségi körébe tartoznak. A felmérés célja, hogy megtudjuk, milyen támogatási célokat tartanak fontosnak vagy kevésbé fontosnak a Wikimédia közreműködői.

To read more about the survey, and to take part, please visit the survey page. You may select the language in which to take the survey with the pull-down menu at the top.

This invitation is being sent only to those projects where the survey has been translated in full or in majority into your language. It is, however, open to any contributor from any project. Please feel free to share the link with other Wikimedians and to invite their participation.

If you have any questions for me, please address them to my talk page, since I won’t be able to keep an eye at every point where I place the notice.

Thank you! --Mdennis (WMF) (vita) 2012. március 5., 22:30 (CET)

Update on IPv6

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the full version of this announcement on Meta)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.

What this means for your project:

• At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334". See e.g. w:en:IPv6 address. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See the full version of this announcement for notes on range blocks.)

• In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6.

• We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.

Read the full version of this announcement on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

2011 Picture of the Year competition

македонски • norsk bokmål • polski

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2011. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!

Detailed information about the contest can be found at the introductory page.

About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during 2011 and are now called Featured Pictures.

From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons Features Pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories.

We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.

See you on Commons! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 2012. június 5., 20:21 (CEST)

Tisztelt Szerkesztők!

Egy a vikikönyvben található téves információra szeretném felhívni szíves figyelmüket; az "Aba címer" címszó alatt a barantali Abáknál tévesen Aáron de Bisztra címerét tüntették fel, mely egy kígyót ábrázol. A helyes címer (a pajzs jobb oldalán páncélos vitéz, a bal oldalon egy a fiait vérével tápláló pelikán) Andrássy Gyula címeres könyvében és Kempelen Béla I. kötetében is megtalálható.

The mobile view of this project and others will soon become the default view on mobile devices (except tablets). Some language versions of these projects currently show no content on the mobile home page, and it is a good time to do a little formatting so users get a mobile-friendly view, or to add to existing mobile content if some already exists.

If you are an administrator, please consider helping with this change. There are instructions which are being translated. The proposed date of switching the default view is July 5.

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

Hi,

As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.

Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)

As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.

The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:

1. language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
3. lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)

It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.

For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :) If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

Be a Wikimedia fundraising "User Experience" volunteer!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered last year on the Wikimedia fundraising 'User Experience' project. We have talked to many different people in different countries and their feedback has helped us immensely in restructuring our pages. If you haven't heard of it yet, the 'User Experience' project has the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries (outside the USA) and enhancing the localization of our donation pages.

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) Next week, the Wikimedia Foundation will transition its main technical operations to a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. This is intended to improve the technical performance and reliability of all Wikimedia sites, including this wiki. There will be some times when the site will be in read-only mode, and there may be full outages; the current target windows for the migration are January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2013, from 17:00 to 01:00 UTC (see other timezones on timeanddate.com). More information is available in the full announcement.

If you would like to stay informed of future technical upgrades, consider becoming a Tech ambassador and joining the ambassadors mailing list. You will be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Thank you for your help and your understanding.

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Hello!

There is a new request for comment on Meta-Wiki concerning the removal of administrative rights from long-term inactive Wikimedians. Generally, this proposal from stewards would apply to wikis without an administrators' review process.

We are also compiling a list of projects with procedures for removing inactive administrators on the talk page of the request for comment. Feel free to add your project(s) to the list if you have a policy on administrator inactivity.

All input is appreciated. The discussion may close as soon as 21 May 2013 (2013-05-21), but this will be extended if needed.

Thanks, Billinghurst (thanks to all the translators!) 2013. április 24., 06:45 (CEST)

[en] Change to wiki account system and account renaming

Some accounts will soon be renamed due to a technical change that the developer team at Wikimedia are making. More details on Meta.

[en] Change to section edit links

The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.

Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.
