اطلاعات عمومی


از کجا می توانم برنامه را بارگیری کنم؟
برنامه ما را می توانید در گوگل پلی استور پیدا کنید: برنامه پلی استور را در دستگاه خود باز کنید و «Wikipedia» را جستجو کنید.

اگر دستگاه شما از خدمات گوگل استفاده نمی کند ، ممکن است این برنامه را در سایر فروشگاه های برنامه شخص ثالث مانند F-Droid یا با بارگیری مستقیم جدیدترین APK پیدا کنید.

 تفاوت بین اپلیکیشن اندروید و نسخه وب موبایلی ویکی‌پدیا چیست؟ برنامه ویکی‌پدیا یک تجربه بهینه و روان برای جستجو و خواندن محتوای ویکی‌پدیا را فراهم می‌کند. به عنوان یک برنامه بومی ، به شما اجازه می‌دهد تا مقالات سریعتر و با استفاده کمتر از داده‌ها بارگیری شوند. همچنین یک رابط منعطف‌تر ارائه می دهد که با سایر برنامه های اندروید که دوست دارید سازگارتر است. این ویژگی‌ها را اضافه می‌کند که در نسخه وب ویکی‌پدیا در دسترس نیست (یا امکان پذیر نیست) ، مانند ذخیره صفحات در دستگاه برای بعداً خواندن، و به اشتراک گذاری محتوا و تصاویر از مقالات در برنامه های مورد علاقه خود در شبکه های اجتماعی.



چگونه می‌توانم به ویکی‌پدیا کمک مالی کنم؟
You can donate at any time by going to the "More" menu in the main screen and selecting Donate. Unfortunately we cannot currently accept donations using Google Pay, or using your Google Store credits.



I already donated; why I am getting asked to donate again?
Due to our strict privacy guidelines, we don't actually connect your app usage or user account to your donation history. This means you may see a donation request in the app even if you have previously donated on the web.

Do I need to be connected to the Internet to use the app?
You do need a connection to download articles, and to use the Explore feed. However, if you save articles to your reading lists, they will be available for later reading, even without an internet connection.



چه دستگاه‌هایی پشتیبانی می‌شوند؟
برنامه ما در همه دستگاه های اندروید با نسخه ۵.۰ آبنبات چوبی و بالاتر کار می کند.

Search
You can search Wikipedia from any of these locations in the app:


 * From the Explore feed in the main screen, by tapping the "Search Wikipedia" box at the top.
 * By tapping the "Search" icon in the bottom toolbar in the main screen.
 * While reading an article, by tapping the "Search" icon in the top toolbar.

     

Search within an article
From the top-right menu (three dots), select "Find in page". You will be able to type text to search within the current article, and the search results will be automatically highlighted and scrolled into view.

Explore feed
The home screen of the app features a feed of recommended content for reading. Each "card" in the feed represents a single article, or a short list of articles, for you to read. The types of cards you might find in the feed (depending on their language availability) include:


 * از میان خبرها: مقالاتی درباره رویدادهای اخیر.
 * مقالات پرطرفدار: مقالات پربازدید امروز (بر اساس تعداد بازدیدها).
 * مقالهٔ برگزیده: مقالهٔ برجسته امروز در ویکی‌پدیا.
 * نگارهٔ برگزیده: نگارهٔ برگزیده امروز از ویکی انبار.
 * ادامهٔ مطالعه: پیوند سریع به خواندن مقالهٔ باز در یکی از سربرگ‌های خود.
 * چون شما مطالعه کرده‌اید: لیستی کوتاه از پیشنهادات مطالعه بر اساس مقاله‌ای که اخیراً خوانده شده از تاریخچه شما است.
 * در این روز: وقایع تاریخ در این روز.
 * تصادف ساز: نمایی را باز می‌کند که مقالات تصادفی را برای خواندن تولید می‌کند.
 * امروز در ویکی‌پدیا: صفحهٔ اصلی واقعی ویکی‌پدیا را باز می‌کند.
 * Suggested edits: suggestions to add content on Wikipedia.

How can I customize the feed?
If you don't want to see a particular card in the Explore feed, you can tap the overflow menu on that card (three dots at the top-right), and tap "Hide this card".

You may also tap the overflow menu on any card (three dots at the top-right) and select the "Customize the feed" option, which will allow you to choose which types of cards to show, the order in which they will appear, and the languages for which they will be shown.



Reading lists and offline reading
To save an article for later reading, tap the "bookmark" icon in the bottom toolbar:



This will automatically make the article available for reading offline, i.e. even when you are not connected to the internet. When you bookmark articles, they are saved to a default reading list called "Saved", but you can also create different reading lists of your own, and categorize your saved articles however you like.

مقالاتی که در یک لیست ذخیره شده‌اند به صورت پیش فرض به صورت آفلاین در دسترس قرار می‌گیرند تا بعداً بتوانید آنها را بخوانید. اگر نمی‌خواهید مقالات خاصی بصورت آفلاین در دسترس باشند، می‌توانید به فهرست مطالعه بروید و مقالهٔ خاص را فشار داده و نگه دارید. سپس لیستی از گزینه‌های مربوط به آن مقاله را مشاهده خواهید کرد که شامل کادر تأیید «موجود به صورت آفلاین» است. با ضربه زدن روی دکمهٔ «فهرست‌های من» در صفحه اصلی، می‌توانید به همه فهرست‌های مطالعهٔ خود دسترسی پیدا کنید.

      </li> </ul>

When you are logged in to the app, your reading lists are automatically synchronized to your Wikipedia account, so that your lists will be restored if you install the app on a different device, or uninstall/reinstall it on the same device. Your reading lists will also be available if you log in to the iOS version of the app. However, at the moment your reading lists are not accessible from the desktop or mobile web version of the Wikipedia website.

For users to prevent accidental deletion or restore their reading lists on the Wikipedia mobile app for Android:


 * Make sure you are logged in.
 * Go to “More” -> “Settings”, in the “Syncing” section, make sure the “Reading list syncing” is on.
 * Go back to “Saved” and click on the “Refresh sync” in the top-right overflow menu to manually sync your reading lists to the server.

Readability and themes
When reading an article, tap the "Theme" button in the bottom toolbar. There you will see numerous options, including:


 * Increase or decrease the text size for reading articles.
 * Change the color theme between Light, Sepia, Dark, or Black. (The Black theme is particularly useful for devices with an OLED display, since it will save battery power by keeping most pixels black.)
 * Whether to "Match system theme". Since Android itself now supports a light and dark theme, the app can automatically adjust to the system setting. If you do not want to match the system theme (i.e. if you want to use the Dark theme in the app, but keep the device in the Light theme, you'll need to unselect "Match system theme").
 * Whether to dim images. When using the Dark or Black theme, dimming images may be an additional benefit for distraction-free reading.



In-article conveniences

 * Tap the "Contents" button at the bottom (or swipe from right to left anywhere in the article) to see the table of contents for the current article. Tap on any section in the table of contents to jump to that section in the article.
 * Tap on references (superscript numbers) to see a popup that describes the reference in detail.
 * Tap any image to view it full-screen; pinch to zoom the image, or swipe left or right to view other images that appear in the article.

Why was the feature removed?
We have removed the Nearby feature from the Wikipedia app for a number of overlapping reasons, including extremely low feature usage, ongoing maintenance issues that are out of the Android team's control, and community concern about the location permissions that Nearby required. These concerns made it infeasible to continue to support the feature.

Also, from a legal standpoint, we weren't able to integrate with the Google Maps SDK (i.e. use a Google Maps view in our app, with a custom layer on top), which means we had to use the MapBox SDK with OpenStreetMap which, at the time, was not providing the best possible user experience. It was glitchy, slow, and bloated. Merely including the MapBox SDK caused our app to triple in size. This is an important consideration for users for whom the cost of data is not negligible.

Are we open to adding it in the future?
We are open to investigating other map alternatives that meet legal and performance requirements sometime in the future.

Updates to have it back again
Based on multiple reviews from our users asking to have this feature back again, we're working on it. Please check this link for the complete information about available approaches to have it again; you can check the pros and cons of each one and vote for what you think could be the perfect option we should have.

General
برای شروع ویرایش هر مقاله، روی نماد «مداد» در کنار یکی از عناوین بخش‌های مقاله ضربه بزنید. Note that some articles are protected from being edited by anonymous users or users with too few edits.

مقالات ویکی‌پدیا با استفاده از قالب‌بندی می‌شوند، همچنین به عنوان ویکی‌متن شناخته می شود When you edit a section of an article in the app, the wikitext syntax will be automatically highlighted to assist with formatting.

  </li>  </li> </ul>


 * آیا برای ویرایش باید وارد سیستم شوم؟
 * خیر، شما می‌توانید بدون ایجاد حساب کاربری یا ورود به سیستم ویرایش کنید، اما توجه داشته باشید که آدرس IP شما با ویرایش‌های شما مرتبط خواهد بود و برای هر کسی که به تاریخچه ویرایش مقاله نگاه می‌کند قابل مشاهده خواهد بود. Please note that some Wikipedias disallow editing of articles in the if you are not logged in.


 * آیا می‌توانم تصاویر را بارگذاری کنم؟
 * نه هنوز.


 * آیا می‌توانم تاریخچه ویرایش مقاله و صفحات بحث را مشاهده کنم؟
 * این هنوز در برنامه پشتیبانی نمی‌شود. اگر به پایین مقاله بروید، می توانید روی پیوندهای تاریخچه ویرایش و صفحه بحث مقاله ضربه بزنید، که این پیوندها را در برنامه مرورگر وب پیش‌فرض شما باز می‌شوند.



Suggested edits
If you are keen to start making contributions to Wikipedia, the app provides you with various types of editing suggestions, presented as a continuous feed that you can swipe through. Go to the main screen of the app and tap the "Edits" button at the bottom to see the types of suggested edits that are available. These include:


 * Article descriptions: Add short descriptions to articles that are missing descriptions. These descriptions are shown when searching Wikipedia on your desktop or mobile device, and in various places in the app.
 * Image captions: Add captions to images on Wikimedia Commons that are missing captions. These captions are shown when tapping on images in articles to view them full-screen.
 * Image tags: Add tags to images on Wikimedia Commons. These tags will be used to make images more searchable and better structured.

  </li>  </li>  </li> </ul>

Contribution history
You can view your own contribution history by going to the main screen and tapping the "Edits" button at the bottom. This will show you the total number of edits you've made so far, your current edit quality (based on how many of your edits were reverted), among other statistics. To see more details about each of your previous contributions, tap on the statistics card. This will show a full-screen list of each of your edits.



Notifications
If you are logged in to your account, you can receive notifications about your account activity. These notifications will automatically pop up along with other system notifications in your device's status bar. The types of actions for which notifications are sent include:


 * Message(s) left on your User Talk page.
 * Another user thanking you for an edit you made.
 * One of your edits being reverted.
 * Security notices regarding your account.

To see all of your current notifications, tap the "More" button at the bottom of the main screen, and select "Notifications".



To choose which notifications pop up in your system status bar, tap the overflow menu (three dots) in the Notifications screen, and select "Notification preferences".

You can mark a notification as "read" by tapping on it, and selecting "Mark read and archive". You may also view all of your archived notifications by tapping the overflow menu (three dots) in the Notifications screen, and selecting "View archived".

Troubleshooting
If the app does not seem to be receiving notifications correctly, please consider these suggestions:


 * Make sure that you are logged in to your account in the app. Try logging out and back in.
 * Make sure you have notifications enabled in the app. Go to the Notifications screen (from the "More" menu on the main screen), then tap the overflow menu at the top right, then select "Notification preferences". Make sure that the "Poll notifications" option is turned on.
 * Make sure you haven't denied the app to show notifications from the system status bar. Android allows you to selectively allow and deny notifications to be shown from any app that tries to show them. To make sure that the Wikipedia app is allowed to show notifications, go to your system Settings, then go to "Apps and Notifications", then look for the "Notifications" selection. This should show you a list of all apps that could show notifications, along with a switch to enable or disable notifications for that app. Make sure that the switch is enabled for Wikipedia.

Languages
Wikipedia content exists in more than 300 languages, and you can select one or more of those languages to be used in the app.

When the app is first installed, it defaults to the system language of your device. If you have more than one keyboard language installed, the app should automatically detect those languages and add them to its list of languages.

<span id="Set/change_Wikipedia_language">

تنظیم/تغییر زبان ویکی‌پدیا
To change the Wikipedia language, go to the "More" menu in the main screen, tap "Settings", then select "Wikipedia languages". From there you can add, remove, and rearrange your preferred languages. (Your topmost language will be used by default when searching Wikipedia.)

  </li>  </li> </ul>

<span id="Read_an_article_in_a_different_language">

مقاله‌ای را به زبان دیگر بخوانید
When reading an article, you can tap the "Language" button in the bottom toolbar to see other languages in which this article is available. (Note that not all articles will be available in all languages.)

<span id="Privacy_and_Security">

حریم خصوصی و امنیت
<span id="Does_the_app_track_me?_Do_you_use_my_data?"> آیا این برنامه‌ مرا ردیابی می‌کند؟ آیا از اطلاعات من استفاده می‌کند؟ Yes, some of your actions within the app are tracked, so that we can continue to improve our features. Sending usage reports can be deactivated by going to "Settings", which can be accessed from the "More" menu in the main screen, and unchecking "Send usage reports". تمام داده‌های جمع‌آوری شده ناشناس هستند.



<span id="What_information_do_usage_reports_contain?"> گزارش استفاده شامل چه اطلاعاتی است؟ انواع مختلفی از داده‌ها جمع‌آوری می‌شود که مشخصات آنها را می‌توان در صفحهٔ ثبت رویداد مشاهده کرد. به عنوان مثال، میانگین تأخیر بین تایپ کردن یک عبارت جستجو و دریافت نتایج جستجو، یا تعداد دفعات کلیک کردن روی دکمه اشتراک یا افزایش یا کاهش اندازهٔ قلم را ثبت می‌کند. از این داده‌ها نمی‌توان برای شناسایی شخصی شما استفاده کرد. این‌ها همه برای درک بهتر مشارکت کاربر استفاده می‌شوند و ما را به سمت بهبود و ارتقا ویژگی‌هایی که برنامه ارائه می‌دهد راهنمایی می‌کنند.

<span id="Why_does_the_app_need_the_Identity_permission_(GET_ACCOUNTS)?"> چرا برنامه به مجوز هویت نیاز دارد (GET_ACCOUNTS) ؟ این اجازه لازم است تا برنامه بتواند با حساب کاربری شما در ویکی‌پدیا ادغام شود، بنابراین هنگام ورود به سیستم فهرست مطالعه و سایر تنظیمات شما بین دستگاه‌ها همگام‌سازی می‌شود.

<span id="Why_does_the_app_need_the_Photos/Media/Files_permission_(WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)?"> چرا برنامه به مجوز عکس‌ها/رسانه/پرونده‌ها نیاز دارد (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)؟ این مجوز لازم است زیرا برنامه به شما امکان می‌دهد تصاویری را که در دستگاه محلی خود مرور می‌کنید ذخیره کنید. همچنین لازم است تا برنامه بتواند به طور موقت تصاویر را برای به اشتراک‌گذاری از طریق برنامه‌های دیگر ذخیره کند (مانند اشتراک‌گذاری یک واقعه).

<span id="Why_does_the_app_need_the_Full_Network_Access_permission_(ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE,_ACCESS_WIFI_STATE)?"> چرا برنامه به اجازهٔ دسترسی کامل به شبکه را نیاز دارد(ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE)؟ This permission is used by the app to determine the state and quality of your network connection, and adjust certain aspects of its performance accordingly (e.g. loading lower-quality versions of images when on a limited connection).

Why does the app need the Startup (Boot Completed) permission (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED)?
The app provides a feature that lets you receive notifications on your device about your Wikipedia account.These can be notifications about articles that you've edited, messages on your Talk page, thanks from other editors, etc. This can be turned on if you login to your account and enable notification polling. The service that checks for notifications runs in the background, and needs to restart itself automatically if your device itself is restarted. This is why the app needs to receive an event when your device initially boots up. If you do not enable the Notification polling feature, then the Startup permission is not used for any other purpose.

<span id="Is_the_connection_between_the_app_and_Wikipedia_encrypted?">

آیا ارتباط بین برنامه و ویکی‌پدیا رمزگذاری شده است؟
بله، تمام ترافیک شبکه از برنامه از طریق HTTPS انجام می‌شود.

Does the app require Google services?
No, Google Play Services are not required for the app to work properly. However, when they are available, the app will use Google services for certain features, such as push notifications. No user information or personal data is sent to Google.

I'm blocked from logging in or editing, what should I do?
If you have not made any edits to Wikipedia, but still find yourself blocked from logging in, creating an account, or making edits, it probably means that your IP address has been blocked, not "you" specifically. When you use your device on a mobile network, or on a shared WiFi connection, your IP address may be shared with many other users. These other users might have made unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, which resulted in blocking the IP address. Sometimes an entire range of IP addresses might be blocked, and your IP address might simply fall into that range. Also, public proxies and VPNs are generally blocked, too. If your IP address is blocked, try joining a different WiFi network.

Note that the Wikimedia Foundation does not administer the blocking of IP addresses; instead, this work is done by a global community of volunteers and administrators. For information about blocking and appealing a block on English Wikipedia, please see the information page at Help! I've Been Blocked.

My edits are being reverted / I disagree with certain administrative actions.
There is no central authority over Wikipedia. The Wikimedia movement is based in part on the premise that good articles are achievable through the checks and balances editors provide for each other. When editors disagree on how to achieve these goals, they must resolve disputes through consensus, drawing on the wider community where necessary. You can read more about the dispute resolution processes on English Wikipedia at w:WP:DR.

How do I report a typo or other error in an article?
Wikipedia is the world's largest encyclopedia that anyone can edit! If you see a typo or other error in an article, click the "pencil" icon or highlight any text and tap "Edit here" from the popup menu. This will show the wikitext of the article which you can then edit and save.

If you make lots of edits, we recommend you log in to your account, so that you can keep track of your work, talk to other editors and join the worldwide Wikimedia community.

I see vandalism in an article. What should I do?
If you see text or images in an article that are clearly vandalism, you can always edit the article by tapping the "pencil" icon to the right of the article section that contains the vandalism. You can then remove the offending text and publish the edited content.



I see information that is biased or factually incorrect. What should I do?
If you see text in an article that may be incorrect, biased, or generally low-quality, you can join the discussion about that article on the corresponding Talk page for the article. You can access the Talk page by scrolling near the bottom and tapping the "View talk page" link.
