Beta Features/zh

Beta Features is a way for you to test new features on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites before they are released for everyone.

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 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.

功能
现在，用户可以：


 * manually opt-in to individual features
 * automatically enrol 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.

当前的Beta测试功能
以下是当前我们的测试功能：


 * 媒体查看器（开发者：Fabrice Florin）——使用较大尺寸查看图片
 * Typography refresh (lead: Steven Walling) — make text more readable
 * 附近的页面（开发者：是谁？？？）——显示此页面于地理意义上的附近页面
 * VisualEditor Opt-in (lead: James Forrester) — edit pages without having to learn wiki code
 * VisualEditor Formulæ (lead: James Forrester) — edit algebra or equations on your pages
 * 新搜索（开发者：Dan Garry）——使用名叫“CirrusSearch”的新搜索引擎
 * Compact language links (lead: Pau Giner) — show a shorter version of the language list, with just the languages that are more relevant to you.
 * Hovercards (lead: Dan Garry) — give readers a short summary of an article whenever they hover over a link to it.

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.

创建您自己的
您想创建自己的测试功能吗？好的！James可以帮忙.

首先确定你的代码满足以下要求：
 * 不会显著降低站点性能；
 * 不会显著降低网站和用户设备的性能；
 * 不导致用户的浏览器崩溃
 * Not cause data loss, or corruption;


 * 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.

界面
The layout 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 showing what the Beta Features preferences page looks like:
