Beta Features/ja

This is the project page for Beta Features. For a quick overview of this project, see.

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

目的
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 Preferences tab, accessible via the personal bar at the top of the page for logged-in users.

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

See also the mockups below for examples of how this design may evolve over time.

機能
Right now, users can: 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).
 * 個別の機能へのオプトイン (手作業)
 * 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.

現時点のベータ版機能
Here are the first beta features which we are testing with this program:


 * — 画像を大きいサイズで閲覧する
 * — 文章の可読性を向上させる
 * Nearby Pages — see what other pages are nearby
 * — ウィキコードを学習しなくてもページを編集できるようにする
 * — ページ内の数式を編集する
 * New Search — 新しい検索エンジン「CirrusSearch」を使用する

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