Opțiuni Beta

For the extension, see: Extension:BetaFeatures.

Opțiunile Beta sunt o cale nouă pentru dumneavoastră de a testa noi opțiuni pe Wikipedia și alte saituri Wikimedia înainte de a fi lansate pentru toată lumea. Mergeți la Beta pentru a gestiona opțiunile; țineți minte că ele nu vor fincționa dintr-o dată pe fiecare proiect Wikimedia și trebuie salvate pe fiecare în parte.

Vă rugăm să ne spuneți ce credeți despre acest program pe această pagină de discuție.

Scop

Scopul principal al Opțiunilor Beta este de a permite designerilor și inginerilor Wikimedia (de la Fundația Wikimedia și de la comunitate) să facă îmbunătățiri tehnice într-un mediu unde mai mulți utilizatori pot testa, da feedback și utiliza aceste opțiuni. Scopul secundar este de a da o cale ca niște gadgeturi folositoare și bine-create și alte coduri ale comunității pot fi integrate după votare, testare și revizuire de către Wikimedia Design and Engineering.

Codul pentru a da opțiuni ca acestea este într-o extensie, BetaFeatures . Preferințele de acolo sunt disponibile la butonul Preferințe, accesibil la partea de sus a barei personale de la vârful paginii, așa cum e văzută de toți utilizatorii înregistrați.

Funcționalitate

Chiar acum, utilizatorii pot:

• să bifeze manual opțiuni individuale
• să dispună de toate opțiunile adiționale de cum sunt lansate

Pentru a folosi o funcție, utilizatorii trebuie să bifeze pătratul din stânga și apoi să dea click pe „Salvează”, ceea ce va salva Opțiunile Beta (cu tot cu celelalte preferințe). Din când în când opțiunile sunt făcute disponibile utilizatorilor, cum este definit la Beta Features/Roadmap .

Opțiuni Beta disponibile momentan

Aici sunt Opțiunile Beta pe care le testăm acum la sistem:

• ⧼visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽ (lead: James Forrester) – ⧼visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-description⧽

These features are only available on some wikis:

• ⧼popups-refpreview-beta-feature-message⧽ (lead: Lena Meintrup) – Show a preview of a reference by hovering over its footnote marker.
• Traducere de conținut (lead: Amir Aharoni) – A tool to quickly translate pages into your language with side-by-side editor.
• Flow on user talk (lead: Roan Kattouw) – Enables a new structured discussion system on your user talk page.

These features are beta features on some wikis while enabled for everyone on all others:

• Unelte de discuție (lead: Ed Sanders) – Enable certain features of the DiscussionTools extensions that are not yet enabled for everyone (the list varies by wiki).
• Conflict de modificare bazat pe paragrafe (lead: Lea Voget) – Afișează vizualizarea conflictului de modificare utilizând o vizualizare mai avansată bazată pe paragrafe.

• ⧼visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-label⧽ (lead: Ed Sanders) – ⧼visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-description⧽

We invite Wikimedia product teams and community volunteers who want to test out new features, or significant changes to existing features, to do so through this project.

Creating your own

Do you want to create your own Beta Feature? Great! James is happy to help guide you.

First, you should check that your code meets the following basic requirements:

• Not significantly degrade site performance;
• Not noticeably degrade perceived performance of the site, or the user's system;
• Not crash the user's browser;
• Not cause data loss, or corruption;
• Pass basic interoperability with other Beta Features features; and
• Contribute positively to the user's experience of the site, and be additive in nature. E.g. Beta Features cannot be used to remove site features or functionality without adding features meant to replace what was removed.
• You should expect to test your new feature on the WMF pre-deploy beta server for at least one week before deploying to production. This testing period is intended to catch any serious bugs before jeopardizing users on production.

If you're happy your code meets these requirements, you should write-up your proposal on the New Features proposal page. As part of creating the Beta Feature, you will be asked for some text copy and an image to represent your feature in the user interface; the Design and Product teams can help you with this.

Aspect

The appearance of the “Funcții beta” tab in Preferences is purposefully different, to both inspire interest and propose a departure from the standard layout and complexity of the existing user preferences.

Here is a screenshot of the “Funcții beta” preferences tab:
