Support for Season of Docs

Hi, For Season of Docs/2024, Google offers a stipend of $500 USD to community members who help answer questions and review work for the selected documentation project. If you're interested, I thought you'd be a great fit since you've already done so much on the migration project and have already been contributing to the Season of Docs talk page. If you're interested, let me know by March 29 so I can add it to our application.

Thank you, but I don't think I'm interested in getting formally involved, although I will probably continue to review help pages as they are migrated.

APaskulin (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Totally understand, thanks for all your help!

DownloadBroken?

Hi, I was just checking out Extension:DeToc (which I wrote) and the download link seems to be working fine for me...  « Saper // talk »  01:19, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Odd. It's working fine for me too now. At the time I was getting an error saying that repo.or.cz was overloaded, and I guess I interpreted it as a something being permanently broken rather than a temporary state.

Seeking guidance regarding migration of MediaWiki documentation

Mhmohona (talkcontribs)

Hello, I've reviewed the "Help:Interwiki linking" articles on both Meta-Wiki and MediaWiki.org. I found that Meta-Wiki includes more comprehensive examples, detailed explanations of technical configurations, and specific guidelines for usage not present on MediaWiki.org. I'm interested to enrich the MediaWiki.org documentation by integrating these aspects. Could you guide me on adapting this content appropriately, considering licensing constraints? Specifically, advice on incorporating examples and technical details would be invaluable.

- Meta-Wiki: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Interwiki_linking

- MediaWiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Interwiki_linking

Examples themselves (i.e the table at m:Help:Interwiki linking#Project titles and shortcuts) are generally below the threshold of originality and can be copied without regard for copyright, although that specific example is specific to Wikimedia wikis so properly belongs on Meta. Some of the more technical stuff belongs in Manual namespace (which is not public domain so you can copy directly) rather than help namespace (i.e Manual:Interwiki). See Project:PD Help vs. Project:Manual for the difference between the two namespaces. And make sure the technical stuff is still true - a lot of Meta help is very outdated.

For content that does belong in the PD help namespace, see m:Special:PermaLink/22520095 versus mw:Help:Redirects and m:Help:Redirects as an example. The more philosophical stuff probably does belong in the Help page, rewritten.

I just came to let you know but you seem to have noticed and fixed it already, so I guess thanks for your diligence. Sorry I didn't discuss with you first, I figured since it is so widely used it was better to get it working first. --DannyS712 (talk) 05:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

That's totally reasonable, and it's my fault for not testing my change properly.

Hello, sorry about this edit. I was confused by the translation. Regards

I'm sorry, but I didn't know anything more about your motivation, so thank you very much for correcting my text. I'm more of a programmer than a writer and writing text in English is very challenging for me. At the same time, I'm also addressing other bugs that have come up in connection with the MW update, so I want to push the repaired code into Gerrit git as soon as possible. But yet not created for now.

How we will see unregistered users

MediaWiki message delivery (talkcontribs)

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hi! Seems like I have checked almost every edit by DDPAT 2.0 and fixed what I could. This is the last pile of articles to be deleted due to bad machine translations/too complicated topics: 1, 2, 3, 4. Thanks for your help.
