Growth team newsletter #27

Vítejte v dvacátém sedmém zpravodaji týmu Growth! Pomozte s překlady

Roční plán pro tým Growth

Připravili jsme náš roční plán pro období červenec 2023 – červen 2024.

Naším prvním projektem bude Komunitní konfigurace 2.0, která pomáhá uživatelům s pokročilými právy transparentně a jednoduše nastavit důležité funkcionality přímo na wiki.

Jakmile dokončíme práci na Komunitní konfiguraci 2.0, budeme naši pozornost směřovat na jeden z náseldujících projektů:

• Vytváření článků: Tento projekt dá novým wikipedistům rady a potřebnou oporu při vytváření nových hesel, přičemž cílem projektu je snížit zátěž kladenou na hlídače nově vytvořených článků.
• Účast bez úprav: Tento projekt si klade za cíl vytvořit pro čtenáře nízkorizikové způsoby, jak se zapojit do Wikipedie, se záměrem přimět více čtenářů, aby přispívali do hnutí Wikimedie.

Dejte nám vědět, co si o těchto projektech myslíte, na příslušné diskusní stránce nebo na diskusní stránce k ročnímu plánu činnosti.

Editační tipy

Nové Přidávání obrázků do kapitoly článku

Nasadili jsme novou strukturovanou editaci, Přidávání obrázků do kapitoly článku na pilotní Wikipedie týmu Growth (tj. arabská, bengálská, česká a španělská jazyková verze). Tento úkol byl součástí projektu Strukturovaná data napříč Wikipedií. Monitorujeme uložené editace a rovněž také sledujeme komunitní zpětnou vazbu.

Rozdělení článků na témata v editačních tipech nyní využívá novou klasifikaci témat nezávislou na jazycích. Tato změna se týká neanglických Wikipedií. Díky této změně nováčci uvidí více rozlišných editačních tipů. Před touto změnou bylo tematické filtrování experimentem, získávajícím data z anglické Wikipedie. Tato změna proběhne postupně. Výzkumný tým nadace Wikimedie za několik měsíců vyhodnotí důsledky změny. [6]

Počínaje 1. srpnem, další skupina Wikipedií získá strukturované přidávání odkazů. Konkrétně jde o tyto projekty: Georgian Wikipedia, Kara-Kalpak Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Kabardian Wikipedia, Kabiyè Wikipedia, Kikuyu Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Khmer Wikipedia, Kannada Wikipedia, Kashmiri Wikipedia, Colognian Wikipedia, Kurdish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia.

Mentorství

Tým Growth poskytuje funkcionality k provozování mentorského programu pro nováčky. Každý nováček získá dobrovolného mentora, který jej povzbuzuje a odpovídá na jeho otázky. Komunity tento systém mohou nastavit (nebo se jako mentoři připojit) pomocí stránky Special:ManageMentors. Nastavení mentorského systému je pak možné změnit na stránce Special:EditGrowthCOnfig.

Další komunity implementovali mentorství. Datový analytik Wikimedia Foundation bude zkoumat další dopady mentorství – konkrétně se zaměříme na španělskou a anglickou Wikipedii. [7]

Tým Growth bude na Wikimanii 2023 v Singapuru prezentovat Mentorování nových wikipedistů. Účastníci workshopu pomohou týmu Growth i nadále mentorství zlepšovat.

Pozitivní posílení

S komunitou budeme brzy sdílet podrobnější výsledky experimentu Pozitivní posílení. V současné době jsou všechny tři součástí (nový modul Dosah vašich příspěvků, Levelling up a Osobní poděkování) testovány na pilotních Wikipediích týmu Growth.

V mezičase jsme zveřejnili prvotní výsledky Osobního poděkování. Ačkoli zatím jde o poměrně malý vzorek, výsledky vypadají dobře. Ukazují, že mentoři notifikace obdrželi a zjišťují informace o jejich ocenitelných nováčcích.

Growth přispívá k migraci úprav IP

Tým Growth se v současné době zaměřuje na Úpravy IP: Vylepšení soukromí a zmírnění zneužívání. Je to projekt, který se dotýká mnoha různých týmů Wikimedia Foundation. Tým Growth se zaměří na dočasné účty prostřednictvím dvou hlavních bodů:

• uživatelský zážitek odhlášeného uživatele, který začne používat dočasný účet,
• změnit produkty, za které je tým Growth zodpovědný tak, aby správně fungovaly i s dočasnými účty. [8]

Komunitní konfigurace 2.0

Stále jsme na začátku plánování projektu Komunitní konfigurace 2.0:

• Momentálně získáváme informace o potřebách dalších týmů Wikimedia Foundation a zpětnou vazbu komunity. [9]
• Začali jsme přemýšlet o vylepšeních vzhledu nástroje. [10]
• Rovněž se také sledujeme podobné nástroje, které jsou součástí jiných produktů. [11]

Newsletter týmu Growth připravovaný týmem Growth a rozesílaný robotem • Dejte nám zpětnou vazbu • Přihlašte se nebo se odhlašte k/z odběru.

Technické novinky: 2023-35

Poslední Technické novinky z technické komunity Wikimedia. Informujte prosím ostatní uživatele o těchto změnách. Ne všechny změny se vás týkají. Jsou dostupné i překlady.

Nedávné změny

• Probíhá nasazování vylepšené detekce rozdělení odstavce jako součást změn za účelem vylepšeného chování rozdílů změn při rozdělení odstavce. Během posledních dvou týdnů byla tato podpora nasazena na wiki ve skupině 0 a 1. Tento týden dojde k nasazení na wiki ve skupině 2. [25]
• Na všech stránkách Speciální:Příspěvky se nyní zobrazuje počet editací uživatele a datum založení účtu. [26]
• Uživatelé na Wikizdrojích nyní mohou uvnitř značky <pagelist> používat štítek prpbengalicurrency pro označování čísel stránek bengálskými znaky měn. [27]
• Změnilo se umístění dvou nastavení. Nastavení „Zapnout vizuální editor“ se nyní na všech wiki zobrazuje v záložce „Editace“. Předtím bylo na některých wiki pod záložkou „Beta verze“. Nastavení „Namísto jiného editoru wikitextu používat režim editace wikitextu v rámci vizuálního editoru“ se nyní na všech wiki také zobrazuje v záložce „Editace“ místo záložky „Beta verze“. [28][29]

Změny tento týden

• Nová verze MediaWiki bude 29. srpna nasazena na testovací wiki a na MediaWiki.org. Na všechny wiki kromě Wikipedií a některé z nich bude nasazena 30. srpna. Na všech wiki bude od 31. srpna (kalendář).
• Registrace nových vývojářských účtů budou nyní místo přes Wikitech probíhat přes idm.wikimedia.org. Jsou dostupné další informace o novém systému.
• Na všech wiki v jazycích psaných zprava doleva a Wikipedii v korejštině, arménštině, ukrajinštině, ruštině a bulharštině se v postranní liště bude zobrazovat odkaz na krátkou URL dané stránky, používající Wikimedia URL Shortener. V příštích týdnech bude tato funkce nasazena na další wiki. [30]

Budoucí změny

• Probíhá diskuse o odstranění rozšíření DoubleWiki. Toto rozšíření momentálně umožňuje uživatelům na Wikizdrojích zobrazit články z více jazykových verzí vedle sebe, když je zvolen symbol $2 vedle dané jazykové verze. Komentáře jsou vítány u úlohy ve Phabricatoru.
• Byl prezentován návrh, aby se druhý seznam skrytých kategorií (zobrazující se pod formulářem pro editaci wikitextu) sloučil do hlavního seznamu kategorií (zobrazujícího se dole na stránce). Další informace jsou dostupné ve Phabricatoru; zpětná vazba je vítána!

Technické novinky: 2023-37

Poslední Technické novinky z technické komunity Wikimedia. Informujte prosím ostatní uživatele o těchto změnách. Ne všechny změny se vás týkají. Jsou dostupné i překlady.

Nedávné změny

• ORES, služba pro vyhodnocování revizí, nyní s výjimkou anglické Wikipedie a Wikidat běží na nové open-source infrastruktuře. Tyto dvě wiki budou následovat tento týden. Pokud ve filtrech posledních změn, které souvisejí s ORES (například „Odhad kvality příspěvků“ a „Odhad úmyslu uživatele“), zaznamenáte jakékoliv neobvyklé výsledky, prosím nahlaste je. [38]
• Když se přihlásíte na projektu Wikimedia a navštívíte projekt jiný, systém se vás pokusí automaticky přihlásit i na něm. Toto už delší dobu nefunguje spolehlivě. Nyní můžete navštívit přihlašovací stránku, aby se o to systém pokusil znovu a tvrději. Pokud je kvůli tomu podle vás přihlašování lepší nebo horší než dříve, je vítána vaše zpětná vazba. [39]

Změny tento týden

• Nová verze MediaWiki bude 12. září nasazena na testovací wiki a na MediaWiki.org. Na všechny wiki kromě Wikipedií a některé z nich bude nasazena 13. září. Na všech wiki bude od 14. září (kalendář).
• Tým Technical Decision-Making Forum Retrospective zve každého, kdo je zapojen v technických oblastech projektů Wikimedia, k přihlášení účasti na jednom z jeho poslechových setkání, konajících se 13. září. Další datum bude naplánováno později. Cílem je vylepšit procesy přijímání rozhodnutí v technických záležitostech.
• Tento týden bude jako součást změn pro splnění přání Vylepšené chování rozdílů změn při rozdělení odstavce na všechny nasazen přepínač, který uživatelům umožní přepínat mezi řádkovým a dvousloupcovým rozdílem změn wikitextu. [40]

Budoucí změny

• Dne 20. září budou všechny wiki několik minut v režimu pouze pro čtení. Plánovaný čas je 14:00 UTC. Další informace budou v příštích týdnech zveřejněny v Technických Novinkách a také zaslány na jednotlivé wiki. [41]
• Enterprise API spouští novou funkci zvanou „nejnovější zprávy“. Jde o funkci v beta verzi, která se pokouší odhalit pravděpodobně „zpravodajská“ témata, o kterých se právě píše na Wikipedii. Je žádána vaše pomoc s vylepšením přesnosti jejího detekčního modelu, zvláště na menších jazykových verzích, doporučením šablon nebo identifikovatelných editačních vzorů. Více informací naleznete na stránce s dokumentací na MediaWiki.org nebo s často kladenými dotazy na Metě.

Změny tento týden

• Nová verze MediaWiki bude 19. září nasazena na testovací wiki a na MediaWiki.org. Na všechny wiki kromě Wikipedií a některé z nich bude nasazena 20. září. Na všech wiki bude od 21. září (kalendář).
• Všechny wiki budou 20. září několik minut v režimu jen pro čtení. Dojde k tomu kolem 14:00 UTC. [44]
• Na všech wiki je nyní v postranní liště odkaz, který přes Wikimedia URL Shortener poskytuje krátkou URL na danou stránku. [45]

Budoucí změny

Growth team newsletter #28

Vítejte v dvacátém osmém newsletteru týmu Growth! Pomozte s překlady

Komunitní konfigurace, koncept A: design harmonika

Komunitní konfigurace, koncept B: styl nástěnky

Komunitní konfigurace 2.0

• Komunitní konfigurace 2.0 je projekt, která umožní Wikimedia komunitám snadno přizpůsobit chování funkcí tak, aby splňovaly jejich jedinečné potřeby. Cílem je poskytnout moderátorům a dalším netechnickým členům komunity více nezávislosti a kontroly nad zapínáním/vypínáním funkcí či jejich přizpůsobováním pro jejich komunitu.
• Podrobnosti o technickém přístupu a další související tikety jsou k dispozici na Wikimedia Phabricatoru.
• Připravili jsme dvě podoby prvotních návrhů, viz přiložené obrázky. Brzy tyto návrhy budeme prezentovat správcům, stevardům a dalším zkušeným wikipedistům (T346109). Dejte nám vědět, pokud k návrhům máte zpětnou vazbu, nebo pokud byste se rádi zapojili.

IP Masking

• Tým Growth v poslední době pracoval na tom, aby jím spravované funkcionality byly kompatibilní se změnami zavedenými v rámci projektu IP Masking. Tato práce zahrnovala změna kódu zodpovědného za: Poslední změny (T343322), Notifikace (T333531), rozšíření Poděkování (T345679) a mentorství (T341390).
• Do prosince 2023 Growth tým zahájí komunitní diskuse s cílem navrhnout převedení diskusí z nástroje Flow na Diskusní nástroje. Tento plán souvisí s minimalizací náročnosti převodu nástroje Flow tak, aby byl kompatibilní s projektem IP Masking. (T346108)

Mentorství

• Připravili jsme zdroje pro mentory, které naleznete na MediaWiki.org. Tato stránka je překladatelná a bude odkázána z Nástěnky mentora.
• Pracujeme na opravě chyby týkající se návratu mentorů poté, co svůj stav dočasně nastaví na „Pryč“. (T347024)
• Polovina nováčků na anglické Wikipedii má nyní přiřazeného svého mentora. Abychom mohli mentorství nasadit pro všechny nováčky, potřebujeme získat více dobrovolných mentorů na anglické Wikipedii. Žádáme také ostatní zkušené wikipedisty z jiných Wikipediích, aby pomohli nováčkům na svém projektu.

Nasazování Growth funkcí na více projektů

• Pokračujeme s nasazováním strukturované editace „Přidávání odkazů“ na všechny Wikipedie. Máme v plánu přidávání odkazů nasadit na všechny Wikipedie do konce roku 2023.
• Máme v plánu brzy nasadit nový modul Dosah příspěvků na všechny jazykové verze Wikipedie. Nejdříve ale musíme opravit chybu v úloze, která data pro tento modul aktualizuje. (T344428)
• Na některých Wikipediích mají nováčci přístup ke strukturovanému přidávání obrázků. Tato strukturovaná editace navrhuje obrázky, které by mohly být pro určitý neilustrovaný článek relevantní. Nováčci na těchto projektech nově mohou přidávat články do neilustrovaných kapitol článku. (T345940) Projekty, na kterých je tato funkcionalita zapnuta, jsou uvedeny v seznamu "Přidávání obrázků" na seznamu nasazených Growth funkcí.

Další novinky

• Dočasně jsme zakázali návrhy obrázků (T345188), protože generování návrhů dočasně přestalo fungovat (T345141). Taot chyba je nyní opravena.
• Můžete si přečíst report o účasti týmu Growth na Wikimanii v Singapuru. Členové týmu Growth prezentovali v rámci dvou Wikimania přednášek.
• Po dvou a půl letech spolupráce s bengálskou verzí Wikipedii jsme se rozhodli spolupracovat s některým dalším projektem. Svahilská Wikipedie je nyní pilotním projektem pro experimenty týmu Growth.

Newsletter týmu Growth připravovaný týmem Growth a rozesílaný botem • Dejte nám zpětnou vazbu • Přihlašte nebo odhlašte se k odběru.

Nedávné změny

• Okamžité přihlášení v systému sjednoceného přihlašování by nyní mělo být v některých prohlížečích (Chrome, Edge, Opera) opravené. To znamená, že při první návštěvě sesterského projektu byste měli být přihlášeni automaticky bez nutnosti kliknutí na „Přihlásit se“ nebo obnovení stránky. Zpětná vazba, zda vám to funguje, je vítána. [54]
• Editační upozornění jsou nyní dostupná ve vzhledu MobileFrontend/Minerva. Tato funkce byla inspirována udělátkem na anglické Wikipedii. Další podrobnosti jsou v tasku T316178.

Změny tento týden

• Nová verze MediaWiki bude 17. října nasazena na testovací wiki a na MediaWiki.org. Na všechny wiki kromě Wikipedií a některé z nich bude nasazena 18. října. Na všech wiki bude od 19. října (kalendář).

Budoucí změny

• Za tři týdny bude ve vzhledu Vektor 2022 odstraněn kód vztahující se k addPortletLink a #p-namespaces, který byl před rokem označen za zastaralý. Pokud si všimnete, že vám začnou chybět nástroje objevující se vedle záložky „Diskuse“, ukažte správcům udělátka instrukce v tasku ve Phabricatoru.

Growth team newsletter #29

Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Community Conversations

The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.

This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.

Impact Module

At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [79]

Add a Link

We released “add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [80] [81]

We have a few Wikipedias remaining:

• German and English Wikipedia will be contacted at the beginning of January 2024.
• There are a few small wikis that will not receive the task until they have enough articles for the algorithm to work properly.

Community Configuration

• We shared Community Configuration 2.0 plans with technical stakeholders. [82] 🖂
• Initial Community Configuration design ideas have been shared and discussed with community members.
• A basic Community Configuration 2.0 demo is released on ToolForge.
• Developers can find some initial proof of concept code shared on gitlab.

Mentorship

When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [83]

We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [84]

We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [85]

It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [86]

Wikidata weekly summary #611

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Discussions

• New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)

Technické novinky: 2024-03

Poslední Technické novinky z technické komunity Wikimedia. Informujte prosím ostatní uživatele o těchto změnách. Ne všechny změny se vás týkají. Jsou dostupné i překlady.

Nedávné změny

• Stránky s modelem obsahu JSON budou pro automatické odsazování místo mezer používat používat tabulátory. Tímto se značně zmenší velikost stránek. [105]
• Udělátka a osobní uživatelské skripty nyní mohou používat syntaxi JavaScriptu uvedenou v ES6 (také známém jako „ES2015“) a ES7 („ES2016“). MediaWiki zdrojový kód validuje, aby ostatní funkcionality webu nebyly chybami v syntaxi postiženy a aby byla zajištěna validita skriptů ve všech podporovaných prohlížečích. Předtím podporovala udělátka nastavení requiresES6. To už není potřeba a v budoucnu bude odstraněno. [106]
• Heslům pro boty a owner-only konzumentům OAuth lze nyní dovolit editaci jen určitých stránek. [107]
• Odteď můžete děkovat editacím botů. [108]
• Byla uveřejněna aktualizace ohledně stavu Průzkumu přání komunity pro rok 2024. Přečtěte si ji prosím a poskytněte zpětnou vazbu.

Změny tento týden

• Nová verze MediaWiki bude 16. ledna nasazena na testovací wiki a na MediaWiki.org. Na všechny wiki kromě Wikipedií a některé z nich bude nasazena 17. ledna. Na všech wiki bude od 18. ledna (kalendář). [109][110]
• Od 17. ledna nebude možné přihlásit se na projekty Wikimedia z některých starých verzí prohlížeče Chrome (verze 51-66, vydané mezi lety 2016–2018). Kromě toho je možné, že se uživatelé systému iOS 12 nebo Safari na Mac OS 10.14 budou muset přihlašovat na každé wiki zvlášť. [111]
• Minulý rok byl modul jquery.cookie označen jako zastaralý a nahrazen modulem mediawiki.cookie. Nyní jsou pomocí skriptu veškerá zbývající použití nahrazená a tento týden bude odstraněn dočasný alias. [112]

Budoucí změny

• Wikimedia Deutschland pracuje na zjednodušení kopírování referencí. Hledá uživatele, kteří mají zájem se v lednu a únoru na samostatných video hovorech účastnit výzkumu mezi uživateli.

• Na většině wiki mohou správci nyní blokovat uživatelům konání určitých činností. Jsou to: nahrávání souborů, vytváření nových stránek, přesunování (přejmenovávání) stránek a posílání poděkování. Účelem této funkce je umožnit správcům udělovat blokování, která jsou adekvátní vzhledem k činnosti blokovaných uživatelů. Zjistěte více o „blokování činností“. [121][122]

Změny tento týden

• Nová verze MediaWiki bude 6. února nasazena na testovací wiki a na MediaWiki.org. Na všechny wiki kromě Wikipedií a některé z nich bude nasazena 7. února. Na všech wiki bude od 8. února (kalendář). [123][124]
• Trvalé odkazy na diskusní stránky, které obsahují diakritiku a nelatinské znaky, nefungovaly. Problém je nyní vyřešen. [125]

Budoucí změny

• 24 Wikipediím, na kterých jsou Vyskakovací reference výchozím udělátkem, je doporučeno tento příznak odebrat. Tímto se výchozí funkcí stanou Náhledy referencí, díky čemuž bude zážitek napříč wiki více konzistentní. Na 46 Wikipediích s méně než 4 správci rozhraní je tato změna naplánovaná na polovinu února, pokud to nevyvolá obavy. Starší udělátko Vyskakovací reference bude stále možné používat a bude mít přednost, pokud je na vaší wiki dostupné a máte ho ve svém nastavení zapnuté. [126][127]
