Two articles on the same subject.

Hi, there are two articles about the Atlantic ocean, Oseyan atlantik and Atlantik, we need to eliminate one of them. Probably bringing the text from the first to the second and eliminating the first (Oseyan atlantik), it was created later. DARIO SEVERI (discussion) 31 me 2016 à 19:01 (UTC)

• Well, after seeing the history of both I'm not so sure which one to delete. DARIO SEVERI (discussion) 31 me 2016 à 19:39 (UTC)
  • Which article looks better? I think you want to w:en:WP:MERGE them (and redirect, not truly "delete", the other). WhatamIdoing (discussion) 3 jen 2016 à 05:44 (UTC)
    • Oh yes! WhatamIdoing (d · k), the better one is Oseyan atlantik but Atlantik was created first, so the best option, I think, it is merge and redirect Atlantik to Oseyan atlantik ... we have Oseyan pasifik in this Wiki. DARIO SEVERI (discussion) 3 jen 2016 à 06:47 (UTC)

For what it’s worth, I agree. I think we need the admin to do it properly? 😊 —LLarson (di & fè) 4 jen 2016 à 17:01 (UTC)

I tried to do it manually, changing the "Oseyan atlantik" for the name "Oseyan atlantike" and later change "Atlantik" for "Oseyan atlantik" ... but when I changed the first one it was created also a redirection to the name "Oseyan atlantik" so I can't move "Atlantik" for "Oseyan atlantik" unless the redirection is canceled first. The idea was subsequently change "Oseyan atlantike" for "Atlantik" and made it a redirection (save both history). I think we need a sysop ;) DARIO SEVERI (discussion) 4 jen 2016 à 20:58 (UTC)

We don't need an admin. We just need to edit the redirects. Here are links to let you see the true content of the three pages now:

• https://ht.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atlantik&redirect=no
• https://ht.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oseyan_atlantike&redirect=no
• https://ht.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oseyan_atlantik&redirect=no

Then, to see how it works, click the normal links:

• Atlantik
• Oseyan atlantike
• Oseyan atlantik

We can rearrange these if you want. Please tell me which one you want to be the "real" name for the page (the one that the readers will see first and biggest). WhatamIdoing (discussion) 5 jen 2016 à 19:06 (UTC)

Hi WhatamIdoing (d · k), the "real" name is Oseyan atlantik, but with the text is now on the page Atlantik, ... so we need first cancel the redirect Oseyan atlantik, after that rename the page Atlantik to Oseyan atlantik without create a redirect. After that, if we want preserve the history of the actual redirect Oseyan atlantike change it to redirect Oseyan atlantik without create a redirect.

In the end we will have the article Oseyan atlantik and one redirect with name Atlantic. I can not do this because I am not allowed to cancel a redirect in this Wikipedia. DARIO SEVERI (discussion) 5 jen 2016 à 20:45 (UTC)

Argh, my "fix" to the redirect yesterday means that we now need an admin. User:WhisperToMe, could you please move Atlantik over the redirect to Oseyan atlantik? WhatamIdoing (discussion) 6 jen 2016 à 15:08 (UTC)

Done :) WhisperToMe (discussion) 6 jen 2016 à 21:16 (UTC)

Thanks. DARIO SEVERI (discussion) 6 jen 2016 à 21:30 (UTC)

Hundreds of them!

...

Look at the sub-categories of Kategori:Vil nan Kiba. Someone has created (8 years ago) hundreds of duplicates.

For instance :

• Cuadrado de Alvarado Reinosa, Camaguey
• Cuadrado de Alvaro Reinoso, Camaguey
• Cuadrado de Álvaro Reinoso, Camaguey.

--Chaoborus (discussion) 22 jen 2016 à 07:11 (UTC)

Some categories are duplicates too (Im creating all the categories, to be sure no duplicate will be forgotten). --Chaoborus (discussion) 22 jen 2016 à 07:50 (UTC)

Fè: I fixed the most obvious duplicates. There was... more than 1500 of them! I think there could be about 200-300 (less obvious) duplicates left. --Chaoborus (discussion) 1 jiyè 2016 à 20:32 (UTC)

Thank you, Chaoborus. WhatamIdoing (discussion) 4 jiyè 2016 à 20:37 (UTC)

Wikipedia to the Moon: voting has begun

Hello, after six weeks of community discussion about Wikipedia to the Moon, there are now 10 different proposals for content for the mission. Starting today, you can vote for them on Meta-Wiki, and decide what we will work on: a Wikipedia canon, different lists, the Moon in 300 languages, an astronomy editathon, featured articles, articles about technology, endangered things, or DNA-related topics. You can even vote against community involvement. Voting is open until 24 June. Sorry that this message is again in English only, but we are using village pumps to reach as many communities as possible, so that everyone knows they can vote. Best, Moon team at Wikimedia Deutschland 10 jen 2016 à 15:31 (UTC)

Paj long

Espesyal:PajLong lists the longest articles. I believe that some of them have problems. For example, the article about the constitution appears to be a copy of its text, instead of an encyclopedia article. This might be an interesting list for a Haitian Creole speaker to review. WhatamIdoing (discussion) 14 jen 2016 à 14:00 (UTC)

• Yes, many of them have problems, I found a repeated part in article Filozofi and I removed it but unfortunately only Haitian Creole speaker are able to correct most of them. DARIO SEVERI (discussion) 14 jen 2016 à 17:55 (UTC)
  • Well, I've blanked nearly all of Konstitisyon 1987 (Ayiti), as that seemed uncomplicated. If I removed something that ought to stay, please feel free to clean up after me. WhatamIdoing (discussion) 4 jiyè 2016 à 20:44 (UTC)

Compact Links coming soon to this wiki

Merci de nous aider à traduire dans votre langue

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki which you may seen already in Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the coming week for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this message and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. The main announcement can also be translated on this page. Thank you. On behalf of the Wikimedia Language team: Runa Bhattacharjee (WMF) (talk)-1 jiyè 2016 à 12:57 (UTC)

Wikipedia to the Moon: invitation to edit

Three weeks ago, you were invited to vote on how to take Wikipedia articles to the Moon. Community voting is over and the winning idea is to send all ‘’featured articles and lists’’ to the Moon. This decision means that, starting today, Wikipedians from all language communities are warmly invited to intensively work on their best articles and lists, and submit them to Wikipedia to the Moon. The central site to coordinate between communities will be Meta-Wiki. You will find an overview and more information there. Hopefully, we will be able to represent as many languages as possible, to show Wikipedia’s diversity. Please feel kindly invited to edit on behalf of your community and tell us about your work on featured content!

Best, Moon team at Wikimedia Deutschland 1 jiyè 2016 à 14:10 (UTC)

Editing News #2—2016

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Did you know?

It's quick and easy to insert a references list.

Place the cursor where you want to display the references list (usually at the bottom of the page). Open the "Insérer" menu and click the "Liste des références" icon (three books).

If you are using several groups of references, which is relatively rare, you will have the opportunity to specify the group. If you do that, then only the references that belong to the specified group will be displayed in this list of references. Finally, click "Insérer" in the dialog to insert the Liste des références. This list will change as you add more footnotes to the page.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.

Recent changes

The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.

The single edit tab feature combines the "Modifye" and "Edit sous" tabs into a single "Modifye" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Modification" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.

Future changes

The "Anrejistre" button will say "Publier la page". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.

The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966)

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

Let's work together

• Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.
• Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Watch the Tech Talk by Sebastian Karcher for more information.

If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Merci !

Main Page

The Main Page is a wikitext table. This is very awkward for smartphones and mobile devices.

But – baby steps. The item at the end of the page is Modèl:Wikipediasister. It is also a table. Could we replace that with a simple, small list, like this idea?

(Perhaps we don't need to include all of these, since many are not available in Haitian Creole.) What do you think? WhatamIdoing (discussion) 4 jiyè 2016 à 20:52 (UTC)

Lists

Well, it looks like that might be a bit complicated. There aren't really any active Haitian Creole options. Here's how the list looks, when grouped by language:

Multi-lingual

Only other languages (remove)
Wikiquote – Collection of quotations. Wikinews – Free-content news. Wikiversity – Free learning materials and activities.

I've got nothing against either keeping or removing as many of these as you'd like. But "keep only the Haitian Creole ones" really means "keep nothing". (I suppose that we probably should keep multi-lingual sites such as Commons, Meta, MediaWiki, and Wikidata.) WhatamIdoing (discussion) 12 jiyè 2016 à 04:43 (UTC)

DARIO SEVERI, User:MdmPaj, User:WhisperToMe, User:LLarson, User:Guy Macon: What do you think about really stripping it down, and including only these at the bottom of the Main Page?

I know it's a big change. (Also, it would need to be translated.) WhatamIdoing (discussion) 13 jiyè 2016 à 00:46 (UTC)

Much better, and especially much better for blind people who read Wikipedia through a device that speaks the content of each page. Should be better for phones as well. Smartphones with big screens should work just fine with either version, but simple flip phones with tiny screens will work far better with a simplified main page. --Guy Macon (talk) 13 jiyè 2016 à 05:08 (UTC)--Guy Macon (talk) 13 jiyè 2016 à 05:08 (UTC)

@DARIO SEVERI: We could ask WhisperToMe to create a redirect from the deleted file Fichye:Cesaire2.jpg to Fichye:Aime Cesaire 2003.jpg, which will solve the problem everywhere the file is used on Wikipedya. —LLarson (di & fè) 18 jiyè 2016 à 13:23 (UTC)

Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today

Merci de nous aider à traduire dans votre langue

Screenshot of Compact Language Links interlanguage list

Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.

From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages

The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you. On behalf of the Wikimedia Language team: Runa Bhattacharjee (WMF) (talk)-8 jiyè 2016 à 03:03 (UTC)

TLDR: The Language team made it easier to find the links to English, French, and Spanish Wikipedias here. It'll also remember which Wikipedias you personally visit the most, and make those appear high in the list. When this is deployed to frwiki, it will probably make this Wikipedia easier to find for most editors at the French Wikipedia, which can only be good for us. WhatamIdoing (discussion) 18 jiyè 2016 à 20:33 (UTC)

It'll also be good for Wikipedia users in South Florida and the New York City areas (where many Haitians are concentrated) - I think it will especially help if/when HTwiki has Haitian articles on various topics related to those two areas WhisperToMe (discussion) 22 jiyè 2016 à 21:56 (UTC)

This is a simple questionnaire. Anyone may answer any questions at any time. Just write your answer and sign your name (~~~~) to show that it's your answer at this time.

You can also update the pages for other languages, if you're involved in any other projects. WhatamIdoing (discussion) 27 jiyè 2016 à 15:12 (UTC)

Save/Publish

The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Anrejistre” button to “Publier la page” and “Publier les modifications”. “Publier la page” will be used when you create a new page. “Publier les modifications” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[1][2]

This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.

If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for “Publier la page” and “Publier les modifications”.

The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that “Anrejistre” would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “Anrejistre” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem.

Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise.

Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes {{int:Publishpage}} and {{int:Publishchanges}} to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in your account preferences, these wikitext codes produce “Publier la page” and “Publier les modifications”.

Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.

Wikipedia to the Moon working phase

Dear Haitian Wikipedia language community,

First of all, I am sorry to write this in English.

You may already have heard about Wikipedia to the Moon: A team of scientists called the “PT Scientists” are going to send a space craft to the moon in 2017 and they want to take Wikipedia along with them. Because Wikipedia is so big, we cannot send all of it to the moon. That is why the international Wikipedia-community has voted to send all “Featured Articles and Featured Lists“ from all languages in Wikipedia.

“Featured Articles“ is a category in many language versions of Wikipedia that collects the very best articles in that language. Your community does not currently have a „Featured Articles“ category. Ideally, we want to take every language on Wikipedia to the moon and we also want to take the best articles in your language. That is why we would like you to tell us what the very best articles in your language are.

There are two ways you could do this:

1) You could introduce the categories “Featured Article” and “Featured List” in your language version of Wikipedia and vote for the best articles and put them in the category. We will take every article that is tagged as a “Featured Article” or a “Featured List” to the moon

2) You could vote for the best articles in your language version of Wikipedia and put them all on one a new Wikipedia page. If you let us know where we can find that list here, we will also take the articles to the moon.

The deadline for Wikipedia to the Moon is 31 October 2016. After that date, we will put all the Featured Articles and Lists onto a special disc and give it to the “PT Scientists.” They will take the Wikipedia articles into space next year.

Did you know?

Did you know that you can easily re-arrange columns and rows in the visual editor?

Select a cell in the column or row that you want to move. Click the arrow at the start of that row or column to open the dropdown menu (shown). Choose either "Move before" or "Move after" to move the column, or "Move above" or "Move below" to move the row.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.

Recent changes

• You can now set text as small or big.[3]
• Invisible templates have been shown as a puzzle icon. Now, the name of the invisible template is displayed next to the puzzle icon.[4] A similar feature will display the first part of hidden HTML comments.[5]
• Categories are displayed at the bottom of each page. If you click on the categories, the dialog for editing categories will open.[6]
• At many wikis, you can now add maps to pages. Go to the Insert menu and choose the "Maps" item. The Discovery department is adding more features to this area, like geoshapes. You can read more at mediawiki.org.[7]
• The "Save" button now says "Save page" when you create a page, and "Save changes" when you change an existing page.[8] In the future, the "Anrejistre" button will say "Publier la page". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
• Image galleries now use a visual mode for editing. You can see thumbnails of the images, add new files, remove unwanted images, rearrange the images by dragging and dropping, and add captions for each image.

Future changes

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic.

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

Let's work together

• Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.

• If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Merci !

We are having a problem with attackers taking over wiki accounts with privileged user rights (for example, admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, checkusers). It appears that this may be because of weak or reused passwords.

Community members are working along with members of multiple teams at the Wikimedia Foundation to address this issue.

In the meantime, we ask that everyone takes a look at the passwords they have chosen for their wiki accounts. If you know that you've chosen a weak password, or if you've chosen a password that you are using somewhere else, please change those passwords.

Select strong passwords – eight or more characters long, and containing letters, numbers, and punctuation. Joe Sutherland (Diskite) / MediaWiki message delivery (discussion) 13 novanm 2016 à 23:59 (UTC)
