Beta Features/ja

ベータ版機能は、ウィキペディアおよびその他のウィキメディア・サイト群で、全員にリリースされる前の新しい機能をテストできる手段です. Go to your preferences to enable Beta Features for yourself; remember enabling features works on a per site basis.

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.

機能
現在のところ、利用者ができることは以下の通りです:


 * 個別の機能へのオプトイン (手作業)
 * automatically enroll 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.

現時点のベータ版機能
以下は、このシステムでテスト中の現時点のベータ版機能です:


 * ビジュアルエディター オプトイン (lead: James Forrester) — 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
 * 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.
 * VisualEditor language tool (Lead: James Forrester) — a tool for marking the language in which text is written.
 * Other projects sidebar (lead: Tpt and Lydia Pintscher) — adds section to the sidebar for sister project links, based on Wikidata site links.

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.

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
 * 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.

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.

Here is a screenshot showing what the Beta Features preferences page looks like:
