Beta Features/About/es







Bienvenido a Funcionalidades Beta, un nuevo programa que te permite probar las nuevas funcionalidades de Wikipedia y otros sitios Wikimedia antes de su lanzamiento para que sean utilizados por todos.

The Beta Features program lets developers roll out new software in an environment where lots of users can use these features, then give feedback to help make them better. Think of it as a digital laboratory where community members can preview upcoming changes and help designers and engineers make improvements based on their suggestions. Learn more below and on this project hub.

Initial features
Here are the current beta features:


 * Media Viewer: El visor de Medios es una nueva herramiento que mejora la experiencia visualizando archivos multimedia. Media Viewer muestra las imágenes en tamaños más grandes en las páginas con miniaturas. Las imágenes se muestran en una 'caja resaltada' superpuesta y también pueden ser vistas a tamaño completo. Comentar esta funcionalidad.


 * VisualEditor:VisualEditor hace más fácil editar páginas sin tener que aprender el código wiki. Las Funcionalidades Beta incluiran una versión opt-in de esta herramienta en los sitios donde sea disponible pero no se encuentre activado de manera predeterminada. También estamos agregando nuevas características experimentales que mejorarán VisualEditor (ver adelante). Comentar esta funcionalidad.


 * VisualEditor Formulæ:Con esta característica opt-in, puedes agregar soporte a VisualEditor para la creación y edición de fórmulas matemáticas como algebra y ecuaciones en las páginas en las que te encuentres trabajando. Comentar esta funcionalidad.


 * Typography Refresh:This beta feature makes text more readable, accessible and consistent. It updates the Vector skin to use 'serif' fonts in section headings and 'sans serif' fonts in the body copy, for a better visual experience. Discuss this feature.


 * Nearby Pages:This feature lets you see other related pages to pages you view which contain longitude and latitude information. Discuss this feature.


 * New Search:Use a new search engine, "CirrusSearch". Available on wikis where the alternative search backend is provided as an opt-in. Discuss this feature.

How you can help
Can you help us test Beta Features in coming days? Our first features are now available for testing by logged-in users on on all wikis worldwide.

To test new features, check the items you want in the new BetaFeatures section of your user preferences — and click '' (see screenshot). You can also automatically enable all new beta features as they are released or turn off any of these options at any time. To make it easier for you, a small  link will show up next to  in your personal menu when you log in.

Try out Beta Features and let us know what you think of this program on this discussion page. You can also comment on each feature's discussion page (see links above and on your Beta Features preferences page). If you find any technical bugs, please report them here.

Note: If you would like to hide the 'Beta' link in your personal menu, you can easily remove it by going to your personal style page and pasting in this CSS rule on a line by itself: "#pt-betafeatures { display: none; }" (do not include the quotes). For more technical documentation, visit the BetaFeatures extension page.

Beta Features was created by the Wikimedia Foundation's Design, Multimedia team and VisualEditor teams. These and other teams will be adding more features every few weeks, going forward. We also invite community developers to start testing their new improvements in Beta Features in coming weeks by working closely with WMF designers and engineers. To prepare a new Beta Feature, read these helpful tips, check this technical documentation and post your submission on the queue for new Beta Features.
