Beta Features/ja



ベータ版機能は、ウィキペディアおよびその他のウィキメディア・サイト群で、全員にリリースされる前の新しい機能をテストできる手段です. 自身のアカウントでベータ版機能を有効にするには、個人設定を使用してください. 機能の有効化はサイトごとに行う必要があることにご注意ください.

目的
The primary purpose of Beta Features is to allow for Wikimedia designers and engineers (from the Wikimedia Foundation and community alike) to roll out technical improvements in an environment where large numbers of users can test, give feedback, and use these features in real-world settings. The secondary purpose of Beta Features is to provide a path so that helpful, well-designed gadgets and other community code can be integrated into core after vetting, testing, and reviewing by Wikimedia Design and Engineering.

The code to provide features like this is in an extension, Extension:BetaFeatures. Beta Features' preferences are available in a Preferences tab, accessible via the personal bar at the top of the page for all logged-in users.

機能
現在のところ、利用者ができることは以下の通りです:


 * 個別の機能へのオプトイン (手作業)
 * automatically enroll in all additional features as they are subsequently released

To use either function, users should select the appropriate checkbox, then click 'Save', which will save their Beta Features preferences (like with other preferences). Every now and then new features are made available to users, as outlined at Beta Features/Roadmap.

現時点のベータ版機能
以下は、このシステムでテスト中の現時点のベータ版機能です:


 * Compact language links (lead: Pau Giner) — 言語リスト（サイドバーにあります）で、あなたに関係の深そうな言語だけをいくつか優先的に表示するので、少ない表示で済むというバージョンです.
 * Hovercards (lead: Jon Katz) — ページへのリンクにホバー（マウスカーソルなどを当てる）した際に、そのページ内容の要約の短文を表示します.
 * Flow on user talk (lead: Roan Kattouw) — Enables a new structured discussion system on your user talk page.
 * Read more (lead: Jon Katz) — ページ最下部で関連する話題の項目を提示します.
 * Content translation (lead: Amir Aharoni) — A tool to quickly translate pages into your language with side-by-side editor.
 * ORES (lead: Amir Sarabadani) — ORES is an AI-based tool that highlights probably damaging edits in recent changes and watchlist.
 * RevisionSlider (lead: Lea Voget) — The RevisionSlider extension adds a slider interface to the diff view, so that you can easily move between revisions.

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
ベータ版機能を自分で作成したいですか? 素晴らしい! James が喜んでお手伝いします.

まず、あなたのコードが以下の基本的な要件を満たしていることを必ず確認してください:
 * Not significantly degrade site performance;
 * Not noticeably degrade perceived performance of the site, or the user's system;
 * 利用者のブラウザーをクラッシュさせない
 * データの消失や破損を発生させない
 * 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.

外観
The appearance of the Beta Features 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 Beta Features preferences tab:
