Beta Features/About/pt

Welcome to Beta Features, a new program that lets you test new features on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites before they are released for everyone.

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: Improve your multimedia viewing experience with this new tool. Media Viewer displays images in larger size on pages that have thumbnails. Images are shown in a nicer 'light box' overlay, and can also be viewed in full size. Discuss this feature.


 * VisualEditor: VisualEditor makes it easy to edit pages without having to learn wiki code. Beta Features will include an opt-in version of this tool on sites where it is available but not enabled by default. We're also adding new experimental features that enhance VisualEditor (see below). Discuss this feature.


 * VisualEditor Formulæ: Com esta funcionalidade personalizável disponível, poderá adicionar ao Editor Visual a possibilidade de criar fórmulas matemáticas, como álgebra ou equações, nas páginas em que estiver a trabalhar. Discuta sobre esta funcionalidade.


 * 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.


 * Compact language links: Show a shorter version of the language list, with just the languages that are more relevant to you. Discuss this feature.


 * Hovercards: Provides readers with a short summary of an article whenever they hover over a link to it. Discuss this feature.

Ajude
Pode ajudar-nos a testar o Beta Features nos próximos dias? As nossas primeiras funcionalidades estarão disponíveis para testes para utilizadores que tenham entrado na sua conta no MediaWiki.org e no TestWiki.

Para testar as novas funcionalidades, marque os itens que desejar na nova secção BetaFeatures nas suas preferências - e clique em Guardar (ver imagem). Pode também activar automaticamente todas as funcionalidades beta assim que forem lançadas, caso assim deseje - e pode desactivar essas opções quando quiser. Para facilitar tudo isto para si, irá aparecer uma aba denominada 'Beta' no seu menu pessoal 'Preferências' quando esta extensão for lançada globalmente em Novembro.

Teste as nossas funcionalidades beta e diga-nos o que achou deste programa abaixo, nos comentários, ou nesta página de discussão. Pode ainda comentar na página de discussão de cada uma das funcionalidades (veja as ligações abaixo e na sua página de preferências do Beta Features). Se encontrar qualquer bug técnico, por favor reporte-o aqui. Para documentação técnica, visite a página da extensão do BetaFeatures.

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:. 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.

Agradecimentos
Beta Features was brought to you by many Wikimedia Foundation team members, including: Fabrice Florin, James Forrester, Mark Holmquist, Jared Zimmerman, Jon Robson, Ed Sanders, Gergő Tisza, Bryan Davis, May Galloway, Keegan Peterzell, Nick Wilson, Maggie Dennis, Quim Gil, Erik Moeller, Howie Fung, Rob Lanphier, and Tomasz Finc, to name but a few. We're also grateful to all the community and team members who helped create this system — and look forward to many more productive collaborations in the future.

Have fun, and don't forget to let us know what you think!
