Beta Features/hi

यह बीटा सुविधाओं के लिए परियोजना पृष्ठ है।

Please let us know what you think of this program on this discussion page.

उद्देश्य
The primary purpose of Beta Features is to allow for Wikimedia designers and engineers (from the Foundation and community alike) to roll out technical improvements in an environment where a 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 review from Wikimedia Design and Engineering.

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

दिखावट
The layout is purposefully different, to both inspire interest and propose a departure from the standard layout and complexity of the existing user preferences.

कार्यशीलता
अभी उपयोगकर्ताओं कर सकते हैं: To use either function, users should select the appropriate checkbox, then click 'Save', which will automatically save their Beta Features preferences (like with other preferences).
 * opt-in to individual features (manually)
 * enrol in all additional features as they are subsequently released (automatically)

In future releases, as new features are made available to users, other functions will be added, as outlined at Beta Features/Roadmap.

वर्तमान बीटा सुविधाएँ
Here are the first beta features which we are testing with this program:


 * Media Viewer — बड़े आकार में छवियों को देखें।
 * Typography refresh — कलेवर अधिक पठनीय बनाने।
 * Nearby Pages — पास के अन्य पृष्ठों को देखे।
 * VisualEditor Opt-in — विकीकोड सीखे बिना पन्ने संपादित करें।
 * VisualEditor Formulæ — पृष्ठों पर बीजगणित या समीकरण संपादित करें।
 * New Search — एक नए खोज इंजन का उपयोग करें, "CirrusSearch"।

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

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

सबसे पहले, आप अपने कोड को निम्न बुनियादी आवश्यकताओं की पूर्ति करता है कि जाँच करनी चाहिए:
 * साइट के प्रदर्शन को काफी नीचा न करे;
 * 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; 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.
 * Pass basic interoperability with other Beta Features features (this is not to say that interoperability is a blocker. Interoperability issues need to be surfaced, and blocker-ness will be determined on a case-by-case basis).

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.
