Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits/es



Bienvenido a las ediciones sugeridas
Las ediciones sugeridas son una nueva forma de editar Wikipedia en iOS. Agradecemos que lo esté intentando.



¿Qué es una edición sugerida?
Las ediciones sugeridas presentan oportunidades para pequeñas pero vitales contribuciones a Wikipedia. Nos gustaría concienciar sobre las diversas formas en que las personas pueden editar Wikipedia, al tiempo que hacemos que las contribuciones de calidad sean más fáciles y accesibles.



Vamos a empezar con las ediciones sugeridas
Nuestra actual construcción de ediciones sugeridas en iOS es un prototipo que estamos usando para obtener comentarios. Para probar las modificaciones sugeridas en iOS:


 * 1) Visit https://testflight.apple.com/join/ETjXlUyi to download the test build
 * 2) Toque el icono de engranaje en la parte superior derecha de la pantalla
 * 3) Haga clic en Ingrese y inicie sesión o cree una cuenta
 * 4) Pulse Cuenta una vez iniciada la sesión
 * 5) Ediciones sugeridas
 * 6) Revisar la incorporación
 * 7) Start Editing!

Contribution opportunities are the central element of Suggested edits. Here you can find ways to contribute to Wikipedia. At the moment we offer a task to add alt text to images. We are going to add more contribution types soon, stay tuned.

Providing Feedback
We would greatly value your feedback about our feature. You can leave feedback on our talk page or by completing this survey.

What is alt text?
Alternative text (or alt text) is text associated with an image that serves the same purpose and conveys the same essential information as the image.

What is alt text used for?
In situations where the image is not available to the reader, perhaps because they have turned off images in their web browser or are using a screen reader due to a visual impairment, the alternative text ensures that no information or functionality is lost. Absent or unhelpful alternative text can be a source of frustration for visually impaired users. On Wikipedia, alternative text is typically supplied through a combination of the image caption and the text supplied for the image  parameter in the MediaWiki markup.

Keep it short and clear
1-2 lines of plain text with no acronyms, abbreviations, or jargon

Describe what can be seen
Don’t add your own research, interpretation, or point of view

Focus on what is relevant to the article
But don’t repeat text that is already in the caption

Transcribe words and graphics
Write out any words in the image, in quotation marks, and summarize the main idea of maps, diagrams, and charts

Type of image
Do not start with ‘This is an image of…’ but describe the medium or style, if relevant

Take care with people
Only identify public figures and make sure any description is relevant, apparent, and verifiable
