Wikimedia Apps/Android FAQ/sv

Where can I download the app?
You can find our app on the Google Play Store: open the Play Store app on your device and search for "Wikipedia".

If your device does not use Google services, you may also find the app on other third-party app stores such as F-Droid, or by downloading the latest APK directly.

;Vad är skillnaden mellan Android-appen och mobilwebbversionen av Wikipedia?
Wikipedia-appen ger en optimerad och effektivisera upplevelse för att söka och läsa Wikipedias innehåll. Då det är en ursprunglig app låter den artiklar att läsas in snabbare och med mindre dataanvändning. Den erbjuder ett mer responsivt gränssnitt som är mer konsekvent med andra Android-appar som du älskar. Den lägger till funktioner som inte är tillgängliga (eller möjliga) i webbversionen av Wikipedia, som att spara sidor till enheten för att kunna läsas senare och dela innehåll och bilder från artiklar på dina sociala favoritappar.

How do I donate to Wikipedia?
You can donate at any time by going to the "More" menu in the main screen and selecting Support Wikipedia. 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.

Vilka enheter stöds?
Vår app fungerar på alla Android-enheter som kör version 5.0 (Lollipop) och senare.

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.

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.

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:
 * In the news: Artiklar om nuvarande händelser.
 * Populära artiklar: Dagens mest besökta artiklar (baserat på totala antalet besök).
 * Utmärkt artikel: Dagens utmärkta artikel på Wikipedia.
 * Featured picture: Dagens utmärkta bild från Wikimedia Commons.
 * Fortsätt läsa: Snabblänk tillbaka till att läsa en öppen artikel i någon av dina flikar.
 * Eftersom du läste: En kort lista över förslag baserat på en nyligen läst artikel från din historik.
 * På denna dag: Historiska händelser på denna dag.
 * Slumpgenerator: Öppnar en vy som genererar slumpmässiga artiklar att läsa.
 * Idag på Wikipedia: Öppnar den riktiga "huvudsidan" på Wikipedia.
 * På denna dag: Historiska händelser på denna dag.

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
Du kan lägga till en sida till en läslista som fungerar som ett slags bokmärke för sidor. Du kan ha fler än en läslista så du kan kategorisera sidorna i din lista. Sidor sparade till en lista är tillgängliga offline som standard, så att du kan läsa dem senare. If you do not want certain articles to be available offline, you can go to the reading list, and press-and-hold the specific article. You will then see a list of options for that article, which includes an "Available offline" checkbox. You may access all of your reading lists by tapping the "My lists" button on the main screen.

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.

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.

Redigering
Tryck på penikonen bredvid avsnittsrubrikerna i en artikel för att börja redigera. Observera att artiklarna på Wikipedia använder sig av.


 * Måste jag vara inloggad för att redigera?
 * Nej. Du kan redigera utan att skapa ett användarnamn eller logga in, men observera att din IP-adress kommer att associeras med dina redigeringar och vara synlig för alla som läser sidans historik.


 * Kan jag ladda upp bilder?
 * Inte ännu.


 * Kan jag se historiken och diskussionen för en sida?
 * Detta stöds ännu inte i appen. Du kan visa länkar till den mobila webbversionen av historiken och diskussionssidorna i appen.

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.

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.)
 * Ändra Wikipedias språk

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.)
 * Läs på andra språk

Does the app track me? Do you use my data?
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".

We also have crash reporting to help us fix bugs. This is separate from usage reporting. If a crash is detected, we automatically send reports to helps us find the reason and fix the issue (This really helps us a lot!). All collected data is anonymous. You can disable crash reporting by going to "Settings" and unchecking "Send crash reports".

What information do usage reports contain?
Different data is collected, the specifics of which can seen on the event logging page. For example, it records the average delay between typing a search term and receiving search results, or the number of times the Share button is clicked, or whether the font size was increased or decreased. We use a service called AppCenter to report crashes in the app. When you choose to send us a crash (which we're immensely grateful for!), it tells us where in our code the crash occurred (the stack track across all active threads), and other diagnostic information such as the Android version and device type. This data cannot be used to personally identify you. This is all used to better understand user engagement, and guides us to improving and enhancing the features that the app offers.

;Varför behöver appen identitetsbehörighet (GET_ACCOUNTS)?
Denna behörighet krävs för att appen kan integrera med ditt användarkonto på Wikipedia, så att dina inställningar och sparade sidor synkroniseras mellan enheter när du är inloggad. (Denna sida är för närvarande under utveckling.)

Varför behöver appen foto-/media-/filbehörighet (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)?
Denna behörighet krävs eftersom appen låter dig spara bilder som du bläddrar till din lokala enhet. Det krävs även för att appen ska kunna tillfälligt spara bilder att dela via andra appar (som i Share a fact).

Varför behöver appen behörigheten för fullständig nätverksåtkomst ($1, $2)?
Denna behörighet används av appen för att bestämma tillståndet och kvaliteten hos din nätverksanslutning och justera vissa aspekter av prestandan därefter (t.ex. läsa in bildversioner med lägre kvalitet på en begränsad anslutning).

Varför behöver appen behörighet för uppstart ($1)?
Appen tillhandahåller en funktion som låter dig få meddelanden på din enhet om ditt Wikipedia-konto. Dessa kan vara meddelanden om artiklar som du har redigerat, meddelanden på din diskussionssida, tack från andra redigerare, etc. Detta kan aktiveras om du loggar in på ditt konto och aktiverar polling för aviseringar. Tjänsten som letar efter aviseringar körs i bakgrunden och behöver startas om sig själv automatiskt om din enhet är omstartad. Detta är varför appen behöver ta emot en händelse när din enhet startar upp. Om du inte har aktiverat aviseringsfunktionen kommer inte uppstartningsbehörigheten användas till någonting annat.

Sedan version 2.7.221 finns det också ett alternativ för att "Anpassa flödet" som låter dig välja vilka typer av kort som ska visas och visar dem i en föredragen ordningsföljd. Ja, all nätverkstrafik från appen genomförs över HTTPS.

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.

Note that the Wikimedia Foundation does not administer the blocking of IP addresses; instead, this work is done by a global community of volunteers.

For information about blocks and appealing a block on English Wikipedia, please see the information page at w:en:Help:I have 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:en:WP:DR.

Reporting bugs

 * If the app crashes, it will automatically send a crash report to us, assuming you haven't disabled crash reporting in Settings.
 * If you see a bug (not a crash) or have a suggestion or feature request, you can send us feedback [mailto:android-support@wikimedia.org here].
