Wikiteka:Txokoa

• eu: Mesedez, lagun gaitzazu zure hizkuntzara itzultzen.
• en: Requests for the bot flag should be made on this page. This wiki uses the standard bot policy, and allows global bots and automatic approval of certain types of bots. Other bots should apply below, and then request access from a steward if there is no objection.

Bot policy

Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which form the vast majority of such requests. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. Please read the text at m:Bot policy before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement it soon if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests.

+1! user:Theklan can you look into it ;) VIGNERON (eztabaida) 10:11, 19 apirila 2018 (UTC)

Yes, do it, please MarcoAurelio -Theklan (eztabaida) 10:25, 19 apirila 2018 (UTC)

Based on the support, I will probably do it in one week instead of waiting for two weeks. Feel free to move this thread to the actual Village Pump page you may wish to create (ie: Wikisource:Txokoa, etc.). I used this page as no formal village pump exist here yet :) --MarcoAurelio (eztabaida) 10:54, 19 apirila 2018 (UTC)

@Theklan and VIGNERON: Have you thought of any page where bot requests will be handled, like https://eu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bot-ak/Baimenak ? Also, have you thought of any page name to host the Café like https://eu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Txokoa ? Thanks, --MarcoAurelio (eztabaida) 09:25, 24 apirila 2018 (UTC)

Xabier Cañas too (personnaly, I don't speak Basque, just here to help this project starting). The « Txokoa » (or whatever name you want to choose) is particulary important (I've got several question to ask and informations to share, I see that KRLS started its own to-do list too we need a central place to talk about this). Cdlt, 09:33, 24 apirila 2018 (UTC)

Moving this to Wikiteka:Txokoa. MarcoAurelio (eztabaida) 09:43, 24 apirila 2018 (UTC)

Done. --MarcoAurelio (eztabaida) 17:39, 1 maiatza 2018 (UTC)

Wikidata has been enabled

Kaixo. Since this morning Wikidata is now fully functional on eu.wikisource. You can now link pages to Wikidata items. I've done a couple myself. Enjoy! Regards, --MarcoAurelio (eztabaida) 09:26, 24 apirila 2018 (UTC)

Wonderful! Thanks MarcoAurelio, I'll do at least the authors.

For information, there is a special page : Berezi:UnconnectedPages that list all the pages not linked with Wikidata (that said, you should be careful, not all page should be linked with Wikidata, not Ebanyelio saindua San Luken arabera/I CAPITULUA for instance as items for chapters are usually not accepted on Wikidata).

Cdlt, VIGNERON (eztabaida) 09:36, 24 apirila 2018 (UTC)

Ok, so all authors are now linked to Wikidata. Going through this pages, I saw that:

• 1. the namespace doesn't seems right (it's Author in English, what is the correct translation? so we can add it on phabricator:T189465)
• 2. the Author template is missing
• 3. they all are in a category Testuak egilearen arabera, and if Google translate is correct it means Texts by Authors which is strange, it should be an Authors category (like fr:Catégorie:Auteurs, fr:Catégorie:Œuvres par auteur exists but for pages of the main namespace not for the Author pages).

Cdlt, VIGNERON (eztabaida) 15:37, 24 apirila 2018 (UTC)

1) I support the creation of Egilea: (Author:) namespace. In my opinion, we can append this subtask on phabricator.--KRLS (eztabaida) 14:56, 26 apirila 2018 (UTC)

I'll take care of creating the extra Egilea / Egilea_eztabaida namespaces. MarcoAurelio (eztabaida) 09:29, 27 apirila 2018 (UTC)

• Alde (support). --MarcoAurelio (eztabaida) 09:46, 27 apirila 2018 (UTC)

@VIGNERON: All items linked are broken, because we need to change "Author:" for "Egilea:" namespace. Can you update it?--KRLS (eztabaida) 15:45, 19 maiatza 2018 (UTC)

Egilea (Author) namespace now avalaible

Kaixo. I've added the Egilea namespace to this wiki. "Author" should work as alias as well. So Egilea:Bilintx and Author:Bilintx are interchangeable (Author redirects to Egilea, which is the true namespace). It may take a while until all links display correctly though due to caching issues. Regards, --MarcoAurelio (eztabaida) 13:22, 2 maiatza 2018 (UTC)

Thank you!!--Xabier Cañas (eztabaida) 17:58, 3 maiatza 2018 (UTC)

Infotaula Egilea

No creeis que seria más bonito si usaramos una Infotaula para autor como tenemos an ca.wikisource y a poder ser que pille los datos de wikidata: ca:Autor:Àngel Guimerà i Jorge? Ahora mismo no estoy arreglando autores a la espera de cerrar esto.--KRLS (eztabaida) 16:04, 11 maiatza 2018 (UTC)

He hecho una prueba con {{Egilea1}} pero {{Infotaula}} necesita un módulo "Infobox", y ahí ya me piedo. Quizá Lankide:Theklan podría solucionarlo y ver cómo queda. Personalmente me gusta más la versión catalana. --Xabier Cañas (eztabaida) 07:39, 12 maiatza 2018 (UTC)

Update on page issues on mobile web

Update on page issues on mobile web

Mesedez, lagun gaitzazu zure hizkuntzara itzultzen Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.

So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:

• The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
• Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
• Readers care about page issues and consider them important
• Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues

Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

Words hyphenated across pages in Wikisource are now joined

Hi, this is a message by Can da Lua as discussed here for wikisource communities

The ProofreadPage extension can now join together a word that is split between a page and the next.

In the past, when a page was ending with "concat-" and the next page was beginning with "enation", the resulting transclusion would have been "concat- enation", and a special template like d:Q15630535 had to be used to obtain the word "concatenation".

Now the default behavior has changed: the hyphen at the end of a page is suppressed and in this case no space is inserted, so the result of the transclusion will be: "concatenation", without the need of a template. The "joiner" character is defined by default as "-" (the regular hyphen), but it is possible to change this. A template may still be needed to deal with particular cases when the hyphen needs to be preserved.

Please share this information with your community.

Selection of the Wikisource Community User Group representative to the Wikimedia Summit

Dear all,

Sorry for writing in English and cross-posting this message.

The Wikisource Community User Group could send one representative to the Wikimedia Summit 2019 (formerly "Wikimedia Conference"). The Wikimedia Summit is a yearly conference of all organizations affiliated to the Wikimedia Movement (including our Wikisource Community User Group). It is a great place to talk about Wikisource needs to the chapters and other user groups that compose the Wikimedia movement. For context, there is a short report on what happened last year. The deadline is short and to avoid the confusing vote on the Wikisource-I mailing list of last year, we created a page on meta to decide who will be the representative of the user group to the Wikimedia Summit.

The vote will be in two parts:

1. until December 7th, people can add their name and a short explanation on who they are and why they want to go to the summit. Nomination of other people is allowed, the nominated person should accept their nomination.
2. starting December 7th, and for a week, the community vote to designate the representative.

Please feel free to ask any question on the wikisource-I mailing list or on the talk page.

For the Wikisource Community User Group, Tpt (talk) 15:15, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Biblia

Kaixo! Beno, aspaldiko kezka batekin nator: ez dago euskarazko Biblia librerik. Baina badago aukera doc batean jaisteko Euskadiko Gotzainen webgunetik. Bibliak garrantzia berezia du, askotan aipatzen ditugulako Wikipediako artikuluetan bertsikuloak edo atalak, eta orain kanpoko Biblija.net zerbitzura berbidaltzen dugu, Eliza batena dena eta, agian, desager daitekeena edo aldatu.

Zer deritzozue Gotzainen Biblia hori hartu eta, librea izango balitz bezala, hemen jartzen badugu? Ez dut uste inork egile eskubiderik erreklamatuko dituenik, ezta?

Mezu honen kopia @Xabier Cañas:, @Xabier Armendaritz:, @Sairema:, @Aitzolete:... -Theklan (eztabaida) 18:40, 15 urtarrila 2019 (UTC)

Zalantza eragiten dit kontu honek. Batetik, Galderrek aipatutako arrisku hori dago (webgune hori desagertzea edo aldatzea); bestetik, egile eskubideen arazoa... Hala ere, garbi dago Biblia euskaratzen aritu direnen asmoa izan dela albait jende gehienaren eskura jartzea testu hori. Horregatik, zalantzak zalantza, testua Wikitekan eskuragarri jartzearen alde nago.

Itzultzaile taldearen buru izan zen Dionisio Amundaraini galdetzea ere pentsatu dut, aspaldiko ezaguna baitut eta beti agertu izan baita euskararen alde laguntzeko prest; baina, kontuan izanda aurki 89 urte egingo dituela eta 2015az geroztik apenas duela presentzia publikorik (lehenago, agerpen ugari izaten zituen, besteak beste ItzuL zerrendan), ez dakit ea egokia den kontu honekin harengana joatea.

Ea besteok zer diozuen. --Xabier Armendaritz (eztabaida)

Besteok bezala, itzulpenaren lizentziarekin dut kezka. Dionisio Amundaraini baimenik eskatzeko modurik ez badago, uste dut, Xabierrek aipatu duen bezala, onartutako bokazio unibertsaleko dokumentu batez ari garela, eta haren bokazioa hedapen hutsa baino ez dela. Interpretazio horretatik abiatuta, bi modutara egingo nuke: 1) Zuzenean testua txertatu (irudirik gabe eta transkripziorik gabe). Ez da txukunena baina behintzat testua hor dago eta Wikipediarekin eta Wikiesanekin loturak egiteko balioko luke; 2) Dokumentua Archiven sartu lehenik, lizentzia askean jarri, eta metadatuekin (lizentziarenak) Commonsera igo. Nola ikusten duzue?-Xabier Cañas (eztabaida) 17:32, 17 urtarrila 2019 (UTC)

@Xabier Armendaritz: Ba agian galdetzea badago, hori onena. Gotzainei galdetzea baino hobea izango litzateke, eta ziur ez duela inoiz pentsatu copyrighta duenik bere lanak. @Xabier Cañas: nik ez nuke igoko jatorriko dokumentua, ze maketatu gabeko doc bat da. Hau da, ez du irudirik ez ezer ere. -Theklan (eztabaida) 12:07, 18 urtarrila 2019 (UTC)

Oraintxe idatzi diot Dionisiori. Erantzunik jasotzen badut, jakinaraziko dizuet. --Xabier Armendaritz (eztabaida) 09:01, 21 urtarrila 2019 (UTC)

@Xabier Armendaritz: Gaur jarri naiz bilatzen lehen zuten doc hori, ikusteko ea nola jar genezakeen Wikitekan... eta desagertu da. Hau kalamidadea! (Eta gerta daitekeen galeraren adibide). -Theklan (eztabaida) 18:17, 7 otsaila 2019 (UTC)

@Xabier Cañas: @Xabier Armendaritz: Beno, hasi naiz proba batzuk egiten, ea nola geratuko litzatekeen Biblia hemen jarrita, eta batez ere teknikoki nola lotu bertsetak (hitzaren oso fan) kanpotik bilaketa egin ahal izateko. Adibidez, Has^2:7 -Theklan (eztabaida) 22:15, 7 otsaila 2019 (UTC)

Dionisio Amundarainen erantzuna baiezkoa izan da:

«

Azkenik, pozten nauk hi Wikitekan habilela jakiteaz. Eta Elizen Arteko Biblia zuen horretan zintzilikatzeaz, dudarik ez izan, bene-benetan poztuko nindukek. Gure asmo osoa izan huen Biblia euskaraz ahalik eta gehiena zabaltzea.

»

Ez dakit horrekin nahikoa den edo Dionisiok guri beste baimen dokumenturen bat ematea beharko genukeen...

Dionisiok, gainera, ideia hauek ere eman dizkigu:

«

Gure Biblia zuenean zintzilikatzeaz pentsatzen jarririk, beste hau otu zait: gurearekin batean, edo geroago, noizbait, Belokeko aita Marcel nire adiskide handiak, nik eraginda eta nire lan materialaz, "lapurtar-baxenabartarrerat" egokitu zuena ere zintzilikatzea ongarri izan litekeela Gure itzulpenean oinarritua da, baina, Marcel biblialaria handia denez, zehatz berrikusia, eta euskara jator-jatorrean emana; esango nuke, euskarari dagokionez, gurea baino euskara-sen handiagokoa dela. Gurean izan genituen biblialariak ez ziren hain gaituak euskarari dagokionez; Marcelengan benetan nabari da sen hori. Bestetik, Marcelek eraginda, duela gutxi zendu den Junes Casenabek Xuberoko euskalkira egokitu zuen Marcelen Bibliako Itun Berria (ez Itun Zaharra). Marcelen Biblia Interneten dago. Casenaberena paperean bakarrik; ez dugu lortu digitalizatzea. Zer poza hartuko nukeen beste biok zuenean ikustea. Urrats handia izango litzateke, bai batua / euskalkiak arazoan, bai Hego Euskal Herria / Ipar Euskal Herria arazoan. [...] bi lan horiek zuenean zintzilikatzeko, Marcelen baimena beharko zenukete. Casenave zendua da, baina nik uste Marcelek bere esku izango dituela haren lanarekikoak.

»

Euskarazko beste bi Biblia horiei dagokienez, nik ez dut Marcelekin harremanetan jartzeko biderik; baina interesgarria ikusten baduzue, Dionisiori eskatuko nioke harekin harremanetan jartzeko...

@Theklan: Itxura bikaina hartzen ari da testua, bejondeizula! --Xabier Armendaritz (eztabaida)

Hau poza, benetan Xabier Armendaritz. Beste bi Bibliak lortuko bagenitu, portal ederra egingo genuke, ezta? Nik iragarriko dut hau sarean. -Theklan (eztabaida) 09:08, 8 otsaila 2019 (UTC)

Egin beharreko lanak

Momentu honetan kopia bakarra dago Biblia honena, webgunean. Atal guztiak kopiatzea da lehen pausoa, gero apalaldi eta bertset bakoitza jartzeko. Ni pixkanaka hasiko naiz honekin, baina lagundu nahi baduzue, egin ezazue, mesedez. -Theklan (eztabaida) 09:13, 8 otsaila 2019 (UTC)

Élection communautaire au Conseil d'administration de Wikimédia France

Mesedez, lagun gaitzazu zure hizkuntzara itzultzen

Ce message est déposé ici car Wikimédia France a identifié la langue de votre projet comme étant une des langues de France.
This message is posted here because Wikimedia France has identified the language of your project as being one of the languages ​​of France.

Bonjour à toutes et tous,

Le 23 février dernier l'association Wikimédia France s'est dotée de nouveaux statuts. Dorénavant, un siège du Conseil d'administration de Wikimédia France est réservé à une personne désignée par la communauté des contributeurs aux différents projets Wikimedia^[1].

Wikimédia France est une association à but non lucratif, de type loi 1901, qui soutient et promeut les différents projets Wikimedia en France mais n'exerce aucun rôle éditorial ni aucun rôle d'hébergeur de ces projets. Elle est juridiquement indépendante des projets et de la Wikimedia Foundation.

Néanmoins, il est sûr que la notoriété de l'association est entièrement issue de celle des différents projets, ce qui détermine en grande partie sa capacité à rencontrer les acteurs institutionnels et associatifs et à attirer la générosité du public. D'autre part, les marques, les logos et un peu moins de la moitié des ressources de Wikimédia France^[2] sont issues d'un accord avec la Wikimedia Foundation, organe central du mouvement wikimédien. En bref, l'essentiel de la capacité d'action de Wikimédia France est rendu possible grâce à votre travail. C'est pourquoi Wikimédia France a pensé qu'il est légitime qu'une personne désignée par la communauté des contributeurs puisse siéger à son Conseil d'administration. Une fois désignée, la personne sera formellement investie en novembre par un vote de l'Assemblée générale de l'association, seule instance souveraine en cette matière. En tant que membre du Conseil d'administration, la personne choisie pourra exercer les rôles de contrôle, de gestion et de conseil stratégique pour l'association^[3].

Le dépôt des candidatures sera possible à partir du 1^er septembre 2019 et le vote sera ouvert du 20 au 30 septembre 2019.

Toutes les informations utiles (calendrier détaillé, droit de vote, conditions d'éligibilité, etc.) sont à retrouver sur m:Wikimédia France/Gouvernance/Siège_communautaire. Fin août / début septembre, une session « posez toutes les questions que vous voulez » (ask me everything), sera organisée en ligne pour répondre aux diverses interrogations.

Enfin, Wikimédia France souhaite mettre en place une commission électorale recueillant et validant les candidatures et surveillant ce processus électoral. Si la fonction vous intéresse, vous pouvez vous signaler à electionTxantiloi:@wikimedia.fr

New tools and IP masking

Hey everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.

We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.

You can post in your language if you can't write in English.

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started

Hello,

In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".

Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October.

How can you help?

• Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);

• Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or

• Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.

We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project

Mesedez, lagun gaitzazu zure hizkuntzara itzultzen

Hello. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.

We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.

We would like individual feedback on the following:

• Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
• Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
• Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far

We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.

When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:

• Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
• Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
• Put things in logical and useful places
• Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
• Eliminate clutter
• Plan for future growth

As well as the following constraints:

• Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
• Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain
• No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors

Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements

After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.

Community Wishlist 2020

The 2020 Community Wishlist Survey is now open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community Tech team should work on over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the deadline on November 11, 2019, or comment on other proposals to help make them better.

This year, we’re exclusively focusing on smaller projects (i.e., Wikibooks, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikispecies, Wikivoyage, and Wikinews).

Movement Learning and Leadership Development Project

Hello

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Community Development team is seeking to learn more about the way volunteers learn and develop into the many different roles that exist in the movement. Our goal is to build a movement informed framework that provides shared clarity and outlines accessible pathways on how to grow and develop skills within the movement. To this end, we are looking to speak with you, our community to learn about your journey as a Wikimedia volunteer. Whether you joined yesterday or have been here from the very start, we want to hear about the many ways volunteers join and contribute to our movement.

To learn more about the project, please visit the Meta page. If you are interested in participating in the project, please complete this simple Google form. Although we may not be able to speak to everyone who expresses interest, we encourage you to complete this short form if you are interested in participating!
