사용자토론:Ryuch/보존-20200225

지난 토론
2007년 8월 16일 이전 2010년 7월 16일 이전 2012년 4월 30일 이전 2013년 7월 4일 이전 2015년 9월 30일 이전 2017년 1월 10일 이전 2018년 3월 29일 이전

문서 훼손입니다.

법원장, 지원장은 해당 법원을 소개하는 것입니다. 중요한 인물(지방법원장 등 임명된 사람 등)이라면 별도로 문서를 만들 수 있겠지만 그게 아닌 이상 이름 자체를. 여태까지 다른 분들도 해왔던 것을 님이 독단적으로 이럴 수는 없습니다. 비단 법원장 뿐만 아니라 다른 문서도 마찮가지구요ㅇ(토론)

이 편집에 대해서 토론을 시작해 주셔서 감사합니다. 참고해야할 선례나 나아가 관련된 정책과 지침을 알려주시면 다시 판단해 보겠습니다. --케골(토론) 2018년 3월 28일 (수) 17:29 (KST)

혹시 같은 분입니까? 입장을 기다리는 의미에서 더이상 편집하지 않고 있었는데 정작 당사자는 아무런 입장을 밝히지 않고 다른 분이 말하시네요. 사용자 모임에서 말한 것도 아니고 개인 사용자문서인데. 그런데 이게 토론할 사항이라도 된느지 의문입니다. 모든 것을 담지 않고 중요한 사람만 담는다? 중요하다는 근거는 뭔가요? 그럼 기관장 중에서 중요한 인물로 기능한 사람만 골라서 적어야 합니까? 그것 자체가 황당한 일입니다ㅇ (토론)

같은 사람입니다. 위키백과의 토론은 해당문서의 토론문서, 사용자 토론문서, 관련된 위키 프로젝트, 그리고 사랑방 어디든 관계없이 이루어지고 있어서, 이곳에 의견을 제시해 주신 것도 잘못된 것은 아닙니다. 위키백과:위키백과에_대한_오해#위키백과는_정보를_무분별하게_모으는_곳이_아닙니다.를 보시면 왜 이런 목록들을 좋지 않게 보는지 아실 수 있으리라 생각합니다. 토론해 주셔서 감사합니다. --케골(토론) 2018년 3월 29일 (목) 09:35 (KST)

링크된 부분은 여기에 적용될 사항이 아닌듯 싶습니다. 모든 것을 담는 곳이 아니라는 것이 어떻게 여기에 적용된다는 것인지 이해할 수 없습니다 역대 법원장은 해당 법원의 연혁과 같은 것입니다. 일반적으로 회사나 단체의 연혁을 보면 그 단체의 장이 취임, 이임하는 것을 표시하지 않습니까?ㅇ (토론) 2018년 3월 30일 (금) 09:17 (KST)

위키백과는 해당 기관의 백서나 웹 사이트가 아닙니다. 백과사전입니다. 독자가 무엇을 읽기 원하는지 먼저 고려되어야 합니다. --케골(토론) 2018년 3월 30일 (금) 09:28 (KST)

그건 님의 주관 아닌가요? 객관을 요구하면서 주관을 말하는 모순을 어떻게 이해해야 합니까? 애초에 "무분별한 정보를 모은다"라는 말 자체가 전혀 객관적이 않습니다. 님이 진리이십니까? 님이 위키백과 백과사전의 기준을 설정하십니까? 무엇을 원하는지에 대해서 님의 판단이 우선합니까? 되돌리기를 한 현재의 제주지방법원 문서와 제가 편집했던 문서, 과연 위키백과를 이용하는 사람들이 원하는 백과사전은 무엇일지 충분히 예측할 수 있지 않습니까? 님의 논리대로라면 현재의 기관 문서 자체를 삭제해야 합니다. 실제로 별 내용이 없다는 이유로 삭제를 햇었던 관리자가 있었습니다.(간첩단 사건) 없으면 채우면 되는데 이를 이유로 삭제하는 것은 온당하지 않지요? 그때 관리자의 삭제에 대해서 누가 제지를 했습니까? 그게 정당한 삭제였다면 제주지방법원 등의 문서 당장 삭제해야 하지 않겠습니까? 왜 유독 이것만 골라서 되돌리는지요? 이건 저에 대하여 의도적인 악의가 아니라면 설명할 수 없지 않습니까?ㅇ (토론)

저를 '님'이라고 부르지 말아주세요. 제 이름은 케골입니다. 이의를 제기하는 편집자가 있어 토론의 여지가 있는 편집을 강행하는 것은 예의에 벗어나는 행동이라고 생각합니다. 저는 개인적인 문제를 제기하는 것이 아니라 위키백과의 가독성을 떨어뜨리는 무분별한 이름의 나열에 문제를 제기하고 있습니다. 관계없는 방향으로 토론을 진행하지 말기를 바랍니다. 중립적인 입장을 견지해야하는 백과사전에 홍보를 위해 저런 편집을 하는 개인과 기관들에 대해서 어떻게 위키백과가 대응하여 어떻게 중요한 정보를 중요하게 읽히게 해야하는지 명확한 원칙을 세우는 것이 필요하다고 생각합니다. --케골(토론) 2018년 4월 5일 (목) 09:38 (KST)

(님이라고 하는 것은 토론이나 기타 대화에 있어 상대방에 대한 기본적인 존중의 의미를 담고 있습니다. 무엇이라 불러야 할지 마땅하지 않을 때 일반적으로 중립적인 의미에서 님이라고 통칭하고 있으며 더욱이 케골 님은 여러 이름으로 되어 있어서 혼란스러웠습니다. )저는 분명히 사:Ryuch으로 들어왔습니다.) 무분별한 이름의 나열이라? 이렇게 한다면 애초에 경력 나열도 되돌리기 편집을 하셔야 합니다. 레드헌터라는 영화문서가 없다는 것을 발견하면서 문서를 만들기 위해 다른 영화 문서를 살펴봤더니 이것이야 말로 '쓸데없는' 문서 아닌가요? 이런 문서가 백과사전 기준에 적합하다고 할 수 있습니까? 기관 문서에서 기관장 이름이 없어서, 심지어 지난 기관장 이름만 몇개가 있는 것을 발견하고 보충 편집을 한 것입니다. 이게 문제가 될 이유가 있습니까? 채워지지 않은 것을 채웠더니 대체 무슨 토론의 여지가 있다는건지 의문입니다. 중립적이지 않을 여지가 어디 있을까요? 가독성이라는 말은 단순히 길다고 해서 적용할 수 있는 문제가 아니잖습니까? 예전에 문재인 등 전,현직 대통령 문서에서처럼 서술하는 내용이 지나치게 길어졌을 때 가독성이 떨어진다고 말하여 논란 문단을 별도로 독립한 것, 이런 경우에나 가독성을 말할 수 있지 단순히 시간이 흘러 기관장이 이임을 하게 되면서 업데이트 된다고 하여 가독성 떨어진다고 말할 수는 없지 않습니까? 무분별한 이름의 나열이라는 문제제기를 한 사람은 누군가요? 그 사람이 직접 이의를 제기해야지 이런식이라면 결국 위키백과를 친목의 장으로 전락하는 것이 아닙니까? 얼마전에 관리자가 특 정 사용자 편든다는 말이 나왔듯 공개적인 방식이 아닌 방법으로 한다면 신뢰의 문제가 제기될 수 있지 않습니까? 그 사용자의 악의적인 문제제기가 아니라고 말할 수 있습니까? (쓰다보니까 길어졌네요. 이렇게 되는 것이 가독성이 떨어진다고 말할 수 있지 않을까요? 토론문서이니 다르겠지만 이렇게 문서에 서술한다면 가독성이 떨어지게 되겠지만 기관장 명단을 첨부한다고 해서 가독성 떨어진다고 말할 수는 없습니다.)ㅇ (토론) 2018년 4월 5일 (목) 09:54 (KST)

호칭에 관한한 상대방이 원하는대로 불러주시는 것이 예절에 맞는 것으로 생각합니다. 가능하면 향후 그렇게 해 주시기를 부탁드립니다. 위키백과에서 제 이름은 케골이고, 기계가 편리하게 다룰 수 있는 계정명은 Ryuch입니다. 케골이라고 불러주시기 바랍니다. --케골(토론) 2018년 4월 5일 (목) 09:58 (KST)

기관장을 역임한 것이 홍보입니까? 그럼 대법원장, 헌법재판소장 헌법재판관 경찰청장 검찰총장 이런 것도 홍보에 해당합니까? 이건 공직이라는 명분이라도 있지만 그럼 문학상 언론상이나 기타 상을 수상한 것은 어떻게 되죠? 연예인, 운동선수 같은 경우는 상업적인 활동에 관계되어 있습니다. 이들 문서야 말로 홍보가 아닌가요? "이의를 제기하는 편집자가 있어 토론의 여지가 있는 편집을 강행하는 것은 예의에 벗어나는 행동이라고 생각합니다." 이 말은 문제가 있어 되돌리기를 했으니 그런 편집을 하지 말라는 협박으로 밖에 들리지 않습니다. 문서내용을 없앴으면 그에 대한 정당한 입장을 제시해야 할 의무가 있습니다. 그럼에도 오히려 저더러 토론을 시작하여 주세요?라는 것은 무엇인지 모르겠습니다. 토론을 개시한 것은 데이터를 없앤 케골 님 아니었습니까? 개시한 사용자 측에서 그 사유를 제대로 말하셔야 합니다. ㅇ (토론) 2018년 4월 5일 (목) 10:06 (KST)

협박으로 들렸다면 그것은 제가 더 친절하지 못한 탓이네요. 위키백과에 저는 싸움을 하러 오지 않으니, 오해하지 마시기를 바랍니다. 제가 시간을 할애하여 토론을 하고 있는 이유는 이 사안에 대하여 명확한 지침이 없기 때문에 이를 개선하고자 하는 것입니다. Backtothe님이 말씀하시는 것이 아주 부당한 것이 아닙니다. 충분히 그렇게 생각할 수도 있습니다. 그러니, 여러 사람들의 지혜를 모아서 공감할만하고 일관적인 기준을 만드는 것이 필요합니다. Backtothe님의 기여를 흠잡아 인신공격을 할 의사가 전혀 없습니다. 더구나 집단적으로 그렇게 할 이유는 더욱 더 없습니다. 관련 토론을 위키프로젝트토론:대한민국의_행정기관#기관장_목록_본문_포함 문단에서 진행하면 향후 편집자들을 위한 좋은 기준이 마련될 것으로 기대를 하고 있습니다. 그렇게 해 주시면 감사하겠습니다. 더 이상 이곳 제 토론문서에서 토론하는 것은 원치 않습니다. --케골(토론) 2018년 4월 5일 (목) 10:17 (KST)

Tech News: 2018-15

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [16]
• You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [17]
• The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [18]
• Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [19]

Problems

• The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [20]
• For a week in March rollbacks got both the rollback and the undo tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [21]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 April. It will be on all wikis from 12 April (calendar).
• Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. [22]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The iOS and Android apps will get synced reading lists later in April.

Tech News: 2018-16

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week

• Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [23]
• Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (=== and !==) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [24][25]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 April. It will be on all wikis from 19 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 17 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new PDF renderer could not create PDFs from books. Books are in this case collections of pages on a Wikimedia wiki. PediaPress will take over development of the books-to-PDF function. [26]
• Pywikibot will no longer support Python 2.7.2 and 2.7.3. [27]
• Volunteer developers can fill out the Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey. The last day is April 22 (UTC). This is a third-party service survey. See the privacy statement.

Your feedback matters: Final reminder to take the global Wikimedia survey

Hello! This is a final reminder that the Wikimedia Foundation survey will close on 23 April, 2018 (07:00 UTC). The survey is available in various languages and will take between 20 and 40 minutes. Take the survey now.

If you already took the survey - thank you! We will not bother you again. We have designed the survey to make it impossible to identify which users have taken the survey, so we have to send reminders to everyone. To opt-out of future surveys, send an email through EmailUser feature to WMF Surveys. You can also send any questions you have to this user email. Learn more about this survey on the project page. This survey is hosted by a third-party service and governed by this Wikimedia Foundation privacy statement.

Recent changes

• The parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [31]

Problems

• We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [32]

Changes later this week

• You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [33]
• When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [34]
• You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the 편집 section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [35]
• There is a new abuse filter function called equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 2 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jharewikimedia.org to leave private feedback.
• All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [36][37][38]

Tech News: 2018-22

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [46][47]
• It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [48]
• Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words.
• There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [49]
• Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [50]
• There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [51]

Problems

• Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [52]

Changes later this week

• There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [53]
• A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [54]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 May. It will be on all wikis from 31 May (calendar).
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [55]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 29 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 30 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Content Translation drafts which have not been updated in over a year will be removed. This allows other users to translate those articles. [56]
• A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [57]
• Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. [58][59]

Tech News: 2018-23

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The MonoBook skin has been optimised for mobile devices. It now looks different. [60]
• Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [61][62]
• Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [63]

Problems

• You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them.
• MassMessage did not work 24–28 May. This is also why last week's Tech News was late. [64]

Changes later this week

Tech News: 2018-24

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• In the Wikipedia app for Android or iOS users can create reading lists. The reading lists can be seen on different devices if you are logged in to your account. There is now a browser extension so you can add pages to your reading list from a web browser. At the moment it works with Firefox and Chrome. [67]
• There is a new version of Pywikibot. Pywikibot is a tool to automate tasks on MediaWiki wikis. [68]

Problems

• The MonoBook skin was changed to make it work better for mobile users. This caused some problems. The change was rolled back to fix them. The new version is now back on the wikis. MonoBook users can opt out from the new responsive design. [69]

Changes later this week

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. For most wikis this will happen on 18 June. For the rest it will happen on 25 June. [70][71]

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 June. It will be on all wikis from 14 June (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the Readers Web team IRC office hour. There you can discuss tools to contribute on the mobile web for the existing MediaWiki skins. The meeting will be on 18 June at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• You will be able to move local wiki files to Commons and keep their original data intact. This is planned to come to the first wikis in June.

Tech News: 2018-25

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Syntax highlighting has been a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It is now a normal feature. It is based on CodeMirror. [72]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 19 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Some old web browsers will not be able to read the Wikimedia wikis. This is because they use an insecure way to connect to them. This means that we get less security for everyone else too. This affects about 0.08% of all traffic to the Wikimedia wikis. This affects for example those who read Wikipedia on a PlayStation 3. [73][74]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. Because there is no new MediaWiki version this week it will happen on 25 June for most wikis. For the rest it will happen in early July. [75][76]
• All wikis that have not already done so will switch to use the Remex parsing library on 5 July. This is to replace Tidy. You can help fix remaining errors. [77]

Tech News: 2018-28

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• WebM video files have smaller file size but still be of the same quality. Creating WebM files will take longer time. [83]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This was supposed to already have happened but was delayed. For most wikis this will happen on 9 July. For the rest it will happen on 16 July. [84]
• All wikis now use the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy. This could cause errors. You can help fix the errors. [85]

Problems

• When you rolled back an edit it could get both the Rollback and Undo tags. This has been fixed. [86]
• Rollbacks from autopatrolled users were not marked as patrolled. This has been fixed. [87]

Changes later this week

• When you edit a link in the visual editor there will be two separate buttons to change which page the link goes to (target) or its text (label). [88][89]
• On the mobile version you can find a link to an editor's contributions from their user page. Now this will work even if they haven't created a user page. [90]
• When you edit a discussion on the mobile version you sometimes get your signature automatically added. This will now not happen if you have already added a signature manually. This is to avoid double signatures. [91]
• Structured discussions toolbars will have more style options. [92]
• When you look at Wikimedia code in Gerrit there will be a new interface. It is on by default for new users. This is also true for developers. This is to make it easier to understand what is happening. [93]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 7월. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 7월. It will be on all wikis from 12 7월 (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 7월 at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 7월 at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Today all administrators can edit CSS and JavaScript for the entire wiki. There will be a new user group for editing CSS and JavaScript. Administrators will no longer automatically be able to do this. This is because it is a security risk when all administrator accounts can edit JavaScript even if they never plan to or do not know how it works. You can read more. [94]
• Page previews will be on by default for new accounts. [95]

Tech News: 2018-35

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can now see moved paragraphs in diffs in the mobile view. It also works on all languages in the desktop view. [114]
• Bureaucrats on all Wikimedia wikis can now remove the interface admin user right. [115]

Problems

• Some diffs show lines in the wrong order. The developers are working on fixing it. [116]

Changes later this week

• The message you see when you thank a user will change. This is to make it easier to understand. [117]
• AWB will stop adding using AWB in the edit summary. Instead it will add a tag that says AWB. [118]
• Some abuse filter variables have changed. They are now easier to understand for non-experts. The old variables will still work but filter editors are encouraged to replace them with the new ones. You can find the list of changed variables on mediawiki.org. They have a note which says Deprecated. Use ... instead. An example is article_text which is now page_title. [119]
• Abuse filters can now use how old a page is. The variable is page_age. [120]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 August. It will be on all wikis from 30 August (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 28 August at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 29 August at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour. You can read more about this.

Tech News: 2018-36

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• There is a new user right for users who can edit CSS and JavaScript for the entire wiki. Before this all admins could edit CSS and JavaScript. This was a security risk. This group is called interface administrators. Administrators can delete user CSS and JavaScript pages. [121][122]
• There will be an A/B test on the Wikipedia mobile website. It starts this week. It tests how we show templates that show information about an article. The test will last two weeks. [123][124]
• You can now use different CSS rules for different skins when you edit templates. This is because of TemplateStyles. [125]
• wp10 in ORES is now called articlequality. [126]
• When you get a new message on your talk page you get a yellow message in the toolbar. The preference to show or not show this has been removed. [127]

Problems

• UploadWizard had problems with campaigns. Users could not upload files. This has now been fixed. [128]
• You can get a notification when a link is made to a page you created. This has not worked since June. It was fixed last week. [129]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 September. It will be on all wikis from 6 September (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 5 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Foundation Readers department will work on advanced mobile editing. You can read more about this and other things they plan to work on over the next year. You can also see the presentation.
• The RelatedSites extension will be removed from Wikivoyage.
• Unused projects on the Wikimedia Cloud virtual private server will be removed. This will happen in October. Projects can be marked if they are being used. [130]

최근 바뀜

• 시각편집기를 이용해 틀을 추가하거나 편집할 때 입력 박스가 과도하게 컸던 점을 수정해, 입력 박스의 크기를 작게 했습니다. 여러분이 박스를 클릭하면 박스는 텍스트에 맞도록 크기가 변할 것입니다. [131]

문제점

• 몇몇 편집 차이 보기에서 줄들이 잘못된 순서로 보이는 문제가 있었으며, 지난주에 해결되었습니다. [132]
• 여러분이 열람하고 있는 위키에서 다른 위키의 알림을 읽은 것으로 처리하는 기능이 간혹 작동하지 않는 문제가 있었습니다. 동작을 수행한 위키에서는 읽은 것으로 표시되나 다른 위키에서는 변경 사항이 적용되지 않은 것으로, 현재는 수정되었습니다. [133]
• <maplink> 코드가 버그로 인하여 며칠 동안 작동하지 않았습니다. 현재는 수정되었습니다. [134]
• 몇몇 틀에서 사용되는 Tursetic이 그동안 편집하는 자신의 사용자 이름이 아닌 그 바로 전의 편집자의 이름으로 저장되는 문제가 해결되었습니다. 그러나 이미 저장된 편집은 자동으로 수정되지 않으므로 수동 수정이 필요합니다. [135]

• 여러분은 IRC에서 열리는 기술 조언 회의에 방문할 수 있습니다. 회의 중에 자발적으로 봉사하는 개발자들이 여러분께 조언을 구할 수 있습니다. 회의는 9월 12일 15:00 (UTC)에 시작됩니다. 어떻게 방문하는지에 대해서는 이 페이지를 참고하세요.

다음 변경 사항

• 개발자들은 모바일 폰에서도 위키가 더 잘 작동되도록 노력하고 있습니다. 현재 모바일

버전에서 내용을 쉽게 읽을 수 없게 하는 문제점들의 목록을 작성 중에 있으며, 여러분은 목록에 문제점을 더 추가하고 다른 사용자에게 도움을 요청할 수 있습니다.

Results from global Wikimedia survey 2018 are published

Hello! A few months ago the Wikimedia Foundation invited you to take a survey about your experiences on Wikipedia. You signed up to receive the results. The report is now published on Meta-Wiki! We asked contributors 170 questions across many different topics like diversity, harassment, paid editing, Wikimedia events and many others.

Read the report or watch the presentation, which is available only in English. Add your thoughts and comments to the report talk page. Feel free to share the report on Wikipedia/Wikimedia or on your favorite social media. Thanks!

Growth team updates #2

Welcome to the second newsletter for the new Growth team!  

The Growth Team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

Our plan for the next quarter is ready

After consulting with many communities on the best ways to increase retention, we will focus during the next 3 months on these projects:

• Understanding first day: to see what new editors do right after creating their accounts. We will be careful with user privacy, and we hope to share initial results in December.
• Personalized first day: this idea will also help us learn a lot about new editors by adding some optional questions to the new editor’s registration process. We hope to share initial results in December.
• Focus on help desk: we plan to invite or redirect people to the local help desks where they can ask questions to help them make their first edits. We hope to have an initial experiment running in December.

You can read about the details of this plan on our team page.

How did we get to this plan?

We have set up our plan based on the 8 ideas we were considering. You can read about our analysis in our team updates, and detailed discussion on each idea.

We are looking for volunteers

Do you want to participate to our experiments? We are looking for new communities to work with us (especially a new mid-size wiki), and people to become ambassadors to help us to communicate with the different communities. Discover how you can involve yourself or your community.

Learn more about us

You can visit our team page to find out why our team was formed and how we are thinking about new editors, and our project page for detailed updates on the projects we'll work on.

Growth team updates #3

Welcome to the third newsletter for the new Growth team!  

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

Two Growth team projects to be deployed in next two weeks

We will be deploying the "Understanding first day" and "Personalized first day" projects on Czech and Korean Wikipedias in the coming weeks. See the new project pages below for full details on the projects, and our project updates page for their progress.

• Understanding first day: learn about the actions new editors take right after creating their accounts. We will be careful with user privacy, and we hope to share initial results in December.
• Personalized first day: learn about new editors' objectives by adding some optional questions to the new editor’s registration process, and personalizing their onboarding. We hope to share initial results in December.

Third Growth team project begins

• Focus on help desk: direct newcomers to the local help desks where they can ask questions to help them make their first edits. We hope to have an initial experiment running in December.

Best practices for helping newcomers

We are going to direct newcomers to help desks. But what's the best way to reply to a newcomer there? We have gathered some best practices for successful interactions, based on community experiences and some external documentation. The page has also been reviewed by some experienced community members who suggested some changes. That page is now open for translations. Comments and suggestions are still welcome!

We are still looking for volunteers

Do you want to participate to our experiments? We are looking for new communities to work with us (especially a new mid-size wiki), and people to become ambassadors to help us to communicate with the different communities. Discover how you can involve yourself or your community.

Also, please share this update with your community and interested people!

Learn more about us

You can visit our team page to find out why our team was formed and how we are thinking about new editors, and our project page for detailed updates on the projects we'll work on.

고건 (컴퓨터과학자)

안녕하세요, ‎Ryuch님. 백:넘겨주기 문서 지침에 따르면 "괄호가 포함된 동음이의 문서 형식의 넘겨주기는 다른 동음이의 문서와 혼동될 수 있고 검색 편의성에서도 적합하지 않아 만들지 않습니다. 정식 명칭에 괄호가 포함된 경우는 제외합니다."라는 내용이 있습니다. 이 내용은 공동체에 의해 합의된 사항으로서 한국어 위키백과의 삭제 기록을 통해 동음이의성 괄호 넘겨주기의 최근 삭제 요청 및 관리자의 삭제 기록을 확인하실 수 있습니다. 기존의 공동체 동의(지침)에 이의가 있으시다면 위키백과토론:넘겨주기 문서에서 논의할 수 있습니다. 또, 기존 지침에 의거하여 현재 다시 생성해주신 넘겨주기 문서는 관리자에 의해 다시 삭제될 가능성이 있습니다. --ted (토론) 2018년 11월 11일 (일) 20:52 (KST)

또 해당 지침이 의미하는 바가 무엇인지 확실하지 않아 해당 지침과 무슨 상관이 있는지 이해할 수 없군요. 명백히 위키백과에 해가 되고 있다는 설명해 주시면 납득하기 쉽겠습니다. 단순히 지침이 그렇다고 지적하지 말고요. --케골(토론) 2018년 11월 12일 (월) 02:35 (KST)

답변 감사합니다. 지금하신 말씀에 대해서는 제가 모두 답변을 드린 것 같은데, 그 내용이 구체적이지 못했던 것 같네요. 고건 (컴퓨터과학자), 고건 (컴퓨터 과학자) 문서 모두 괄호의 의미가 동음이의성 괄호(다른 뜻과 구별하기 위한 구분자)이고 이러한 동음이의성 괄호 문서를 구분자가 있는 다른 문서로 넘겨주면 안 된다는 것이 지침의 설명입니다. 또, 어떠한 해가 되는지는 이미 지침의 인용을 통해 말씀드렸습니다. 고건 (전산학자), 고건 (1948년), 고건 (과학자) 등등 이런 넘겨주기를 다수 만들 경우 다른 유사 문서와 동일 인물인지 혼동될 수 있고, 검색 시 입력을 하는 동안이나 검색 후 결과에서 해당 유사 항목들로 인해 검색상의 혼동이 있을 수 있다는 의미로 생각됩니다. 그래도 제 설명이 이해가 안 되거나 넘겨주기 처리에 문제가 없다고 생각되시면 제가 말씀드린 위키백과토론:넘겨주기 문서 링크에서 논의하실 수 있습니다. Ryuch님의 해당 기여가 지침 위반이기는 하지만, 추가적인 공동체 논의를 통해 해당 넘겨주기의 허용에 합의된다면 지침의 수정은 얼마든지 가능합니다. 감사합니다. --ted (토론) 2018년 11월 12일 (월) 10:05 (KST)

지침 위반이라고 생각하시는군요. 그러나 단정하기에는 이릅니다. 괄호안의 여러 다른 의미는 편집자의 혼동을 일으킬 수 있지만, 띄어쓰기가 혼동을 일으킨다고 보기는 어렵습니다. --케골(토론) 2018년 11월 12일 (월) 11:28 (KST)

"괄호가 포함된 동음이의 문서 형식의 넘겨주기는 다른 동음이의 문서와 혼동될 수 있고 검색 편의성에서도 적합하지 않아 만들지 않습니다."라는 문장 그대로 말씀드린 것이고, 여기에 어떠한 해석상의 왜곡이 없다고 생각합니다. 띄어쓰기 정도를 예외로 둘 수 있는지도 토론을 통해 제안하실 수 있지 않을까 생각됩니다. "괄호가 포함된 동음이의 문서 형식의 넘겨주기는 = 만들지 않습니다" 문장 그대로입니다. --ted (토론) 2018년 11월 12일 (월) 12:03 (KST)

최근 바뀜

• 그동안 여러분이 다국어로 번역된 문서를 이동할 때, 번역된 하위 문서가 정상적으로 이동되지 않아 문서 체계가 꼬이는 문제가 있었습니다. 하위 문서는 다른 문서의 표제어 뒤에 /를 붙여 /wiki/문서/하위 문서와 같은 문서를 만드는 것을 의미합니다. 이때 하위 문서는 자동으로 이동되지만 번역된 판은 자동으로 이동되지 않는 문제가 있었으며, 이를 해결하고 문서를 더 안전하게 이동할 수 있도록 하위 문서가 더 이상 자동으로 이동되지 않도록 개선하였습니다. [166]

이 주의 변경 사항

• 고급 검색 인터페이스가 모든 위키미디어 위키에서 기본으로 활성화될 예정입니다. 이 기능은 특정 검색 옵션을 사용하여 검색하는 것을 더욱 쉽게 해 줍니다. 이 기능은 현재 독일어, 페르시아어, 아랍어와 헝가리어 위키백과에서 기본으로 활성화되어 있습니다. [167]
• 특수:안쓰는분류 특수 기능은 아무 문서나 파일, 또는 다른 분류를 포함하고 있지 않은 빈 분류를 보여주는 기능을 합니다. 여러분은 이제 넘겨주기 분류나 몇몇 관리용 분류를 보여주지 않도록 설정할 수 있습니다. 이 기능은 특수 기능 문서에 보여지지 않기를 원하는 문서에 특수 명령 __EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__ 구문을 삽입함으로서 사용할 수 있습니다. [168]
• 11월 27일 새로운 버전의 미디어위키가 테스트 위키와 MediaWiki.org에 적용될 예정입니다. 위키백과가 아닌 위키와 몇몇 다른 위키백과에는 11월 28일에, 11월 29일 (일정표)부터는 모든 위키에 적용될 예정입니다.

회의

• 여러분은 IRC에서 열리는 기술 조언 회의에 참여할 수 있습니다. 회의 중에 자발적으로 봉사하는 개발자들이 여러분께 조언을 구할 수 있습니다. 회의는 11월 28일 16:00 (UTC)에 시작됩니다. 어떻게 참여하는지에 대해서는 이 문서를 참고하세요.

다음 변경 사항

• mw.util.jsMessage() 기능은 2012년 사용이 사실상 중지되었으며, 다음 주에 완전히 제거될 예정입니다. 여러분이 이 변경에 영향을 받는 스크립트나 소도구를 사용하고 있을 경우 Use of "mw.util.jsMessage" is deprecated와 같은 경고 메시지가 나타납니다. 만약 여러분이 소도구를 관리할 권한을 갖고 있다면 여러분은 해당 자바스크립트에 mw.util.jsMessage 코드가 포함되어 있는지 확인하실 수 있습니다. 해당 코드 대신 mw.notify 코드를 사용하는 방법을 구체적으로 알려주는 수정 가이드 문서도 참고하시기 바랍니다.

Tech News: 2018-49

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [170]
• Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [171]
• You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [172]
• When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [173][174]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

Growth team updates #4

Welcome to the fourth newsletter for the new Growth team!  

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

We need your feedback!

We have two requests for community members:

1. Now that data is coming in for the welcome survey, we are planning how to use that data to personalize the newcomer's first day. See our current thoughts here, and join the conversation here.
2. Try out the help panel's interactive prototype, and read about how we're planning to roll it out, and post any thoughts or reactions here.

Two Growth team projects have been deployed (detailed updates here)

• Personalized first day (welcome survey) was deployed on November 20 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias.
  • The survey is now being shown to half of new users (A/B test). Responses are being recorded in the database. We'll report on initial results during December.
  • We are planning to test a second version of the survey, called "Variation C", which we think will maximize the number of users who complete the survey and stay on the wiki.
  • The original objective of this project was to give newcomers the materials they need to achieve their goals, and so now we are currently planning how we will use the information collected in the welcome survey to personalize the newcomer's experience. We hope community members will read our current thinking and join the conversation here. Some of the plans we are considering include:
    • Making it easy for newcomers to see editing activity around the topic areas in which they indicated that they're interested.
    • Connecting interested newcomers to experienced editors.
    • Surfacing the help content most relevant to the reason for which the newcomers created their accounts.

• Understanding first day (EditorJourney) was deployed on November 15 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias. It has been done after a longer security review and final testing than expected. Data is now being recorded for all new users on those wikis, and we've been auditing the data and preparing to make initial reports during December. Stay tuned for the next newsletter!

Help panel is under construction

• Focus on help desk (help panel) is planned to be deployed during the week of January 7 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias.
• This interactive prototype is the best way to see the design and wording in the feature.
• We ran live user tests on the prototype, with results posted here.
• In addition to giving the ability to ask a question, the help panel will also contain a set of links to existing help content. Our ambassadors on Czech and Korean Wikipedias are determining the right initial set of most helpful links in this task.
• We encourage community members to try out the prototype and read about the rules for who will get the feature, and add any thoughts to this discussion.

We are still looking for volunteers

Do you want to participate to our experiments? We are looking for new communities to work with us (especially a new mid-size wiki), and people to become ambassadors to help us to communicate with the different communities. Discover how you can involve yourself or your community.

Also, please share this update with your community and interested people!

Learn more about us

You can visit our team page to find out why our team was formed and how we are thinking about new editors, and our project updates page for detailed updates on the projects we work on.

Tech News: 2018-50

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 December. It will be on all wikis from 13 December (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• New accounts will need passwords that are at least 8 characters long. Admins, interface admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, CentralNotice admins, global renamers, check users, stewards and some other user groups will need passwords that are at least 10 characters long. This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [175][176]
• When you hover over a footnote it will show you the reference as a pop-up. This is so you don't have to jump down to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will happen in 2019. Some wikis already have gadgets that do this. You will be able to turn it off. [177]

Tech News: 2018-51

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.

Recent changes

• Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [178][179]
• Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [180]
• The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.

Problems

• <ref> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <ref name="adams" group="books">. If a <ref> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [181]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 19 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Foundation Android app team are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can read more about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
• tiles.wmflabs.org and wma.wmflabs.org will stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes the mapnik gadget, hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going. [182]

Problems

• In AbuseFilter, the "속도 제한" action takes three parameters: count, period and groups. They must now strictly respect the requirements listed on mediawiki.org. A list of broken filters is on Phabricator. If you're familiar with AbuseFilter, please take a look and fix them. [186]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 8. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from January 9. It will be on all wikis from January 10 (calendar).

Tech News: 2019-03

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can now use Google Translate in the content translation tool. [187][188]
• You can now add captions to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup.
• Earlier a quoted HTML attribute had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [189][190]
• Templates with could not show the difference between the live template and the sandbox version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. has a new wrapper parameter now. You can use it for selectors like .mw-parser-output <wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page>. [191]

Problems

• When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have tags. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [192]

Changes later this week

• You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new FileExporter. It will be a beta feature on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you activate it and check your wiki's configuration file.
• Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [193]
• The AbuseFilter variable minor_edit has been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on Special:AbuseFilter.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 15 2019년 1월 15일 (화) 02:55 (KST)

Tech News: 2019-04

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News

• Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta. [194]

Recent changes

• The content translation tool can now use version 2 as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature. For example it adds the tracking category 번역이 검토되지 않은 문서 to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category in Special:TrackingCategories on Wikipedias.
• https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF, EPUB or ODT. Previously this was 200 pages.

Problems

• When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [195]
• MassMessage is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [196][197]
• Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [198]

Changes later this week

• You will be able to use template styles in the Module namespace. [199]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 23 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Growth team updates #5

Welcome to the fifth newsletter for the new Growth team!  

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

New projects for discussion

We began the "Personalized first day" project with the welcome survey so that we could gather information about what newcomers are trying to accomplish. The next step is to use that information to create experiences that help the newcomers accomplish their goal – actually personalizing their first day. We asked for community thoughts in the previous newsletter, and after discussing with community members and amongst our team, we are now planning two projects as next steps: "engagement emails" and "newcomer homepage".

• Engagement emails: this project was first discussed positively by community members here back in September 2018, and the team how has bandwidth to pursue it. The idea is that newcomers who leave the wiki don't get encouraged to return to the wiki and edit. We can engage them through emails that send them the specific information they need to be successful – such as contact from a mentor, the impact of their edits, or task recommendations. Please read over the project page, and comment on its discussion page with any ideas, questions, or concerns. Do you think this is a good idea? Where could we go wrong?
• Newcomer homepage: we developed the idea for this project after analyzing the data from the welcome survey and EditorJourney datasets. We saw that many newcomers seem to be looking for a place to get started – a place that collects their past work, options for future work, and ways to learn more. We can build this place, and it can connect to the engagement emails. The content of both could be guided by what newcomers say they need during their welcome survey, and contain things like contact from a mentor, impact of their edits, or task recommendations. Please read over the project page, and comment on its discussion page with any ideas, questions, or concerns. Do you think this is a good idea? Where could we go wrong?

Initial reports on newcomer activity

We have published initial reports on each of the team's first two projects. These reports give the basic numbers from each project, and there are many more questions we will continue to answer in future reports. We're excited about these initial findings. They have already helped us define and design parts of our future projects.

• Welcome survey: the initial report on welcome survey responses is available here. Some of the main findings:
  • Most users respond to the survey, giving it high response rates of 67% and 62% in Czech and Korean Wikipedias, respectively.
  • The survey does not cause newcomers to be less likely to edit.
  • The most common reason for creating an account in Korean Wikipedia is to read articles—not for editing—with 29% of Korean users giving that responses.
  • Large numbers of respondents said they are interested in being contacted to get help with editing: 36% in Czech and 53% in Korean.
• Understanding first day: the initial report on what newcomers do on their first day is available here. Some of the main findings:
  • Large numbers of users view help or policy pages on their first day: 42% in Czech and 28% in Korean.
  • Large numbers of users view their own User or User Talk page on their first day: 34% in Czech and 39% in Korean.
  • A majority of new users open an editor on their first day – but about a quarter of them do not go on to save an edit during that time.

Help panel deployment

The help panel was deployed in Czech and Korean Wikipedias on January 10. Over the past four weeks:

• About 400 newcomers in each wiki have seen the help panel button.
• About 20% of them open up the help panel.
• About 50% of those who open it up click on one of the links.
• About 5% of Czech users ask questions, and about 1% of Korean users ask questions.

We think that the 20% open rate and 50% click rate are strong numbers, showing that a lot of people are looking for help, and many want to help themselves by looking at help pages. The somewhat lower numbers of asking questions (especially in Korean Wikipedia) has caused us to consider new features to allow people to help themselves. We're going to be adding a search bar to the help panel next, which will allow users to type a search that only looks for pages in the Help and Wikipedia namespaces.

How to create a good feedback page?

What is the way to built a good help page? What blocks you when writing an help page? Your replies will help to create better help contents to newcomers, that would be used on Help panel.

Talk to us about talking

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.

We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.

You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:

1. First, sign up your group here.
2. Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
3. Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
   1. When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
   2. What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
   3. What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
   4. What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
   5. What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
4. Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.

You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.

Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.

You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.

Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Growth team updates #6

성장 팀의 6번째 소식지를 읽게 된 여러분을 환영합니다!

성장 팀의 목표는 중규모 위키미디어 프로젝트에서 새 사용자가 남도록 돕는 일을 하는 소프트웨어를 만드는 것입니다.

다음 3달 간의 목표

지난 7개월 동안, 성장 팀은 더 많은 새 사용자가 편집을 지속하도록 하기 위해 여러 기능을 개발해 왔습니다. 여러 진전이 있었고 많은 것을 배웠으며, 다음 3개월간의 작업에 대한 준비를 마쳤습니다. 다음 3개월 동안, 저희는 도움말 패널, 새 사용자 홈페이지에 집중하기로 결정했습니다. 이번에는 참여 메일을 시작하지 않기로 결정했는데, 이미 시작한 프로젝트를 완성하는 것이 새 프로젝트를 시작하는 것보다 더 나은 결과를 가져올 것이라고 예상하기 때문입니다. 성장 팀의 이번 목표는 다음과 같습니다.

• 새 사용자 홈페이지를 배포하고 개선합니다.
• 도움말 패널을 계속 개선합니다.
• 도움말 패널을 더 많은 위키에서 사용할 수 있도록 만듭니다.
• 대상 위키에 4번째 위키를 추가합니다.
• 올해 수집된 데이터에 대한 심도 깊은 조사 결과를 발표합니다.
• 그동안 새 사용자에 대해 배운 것들에 대한 보고서를 준비합니다.

새 사용자 홈페이지

새 사용자 홈페이지의 디자인으로 예정된 목업

성장 팀은 현재 새 사용자 홈페이지에 집중하고 있습니다. 공동체가 프로젝트에 관한 문서를 읽고 토론 문서에 아이디어, 질문, 또는 생각하는 문제점에 대해 의견을 남겨 주시기를 기다리고 있습니다. 나와 있는 목업에서 어떻게 이 기능을 구현할지에 대한 아이디어를 볼 수 있습니다.

처음으로 배포하고 개선할 버전에서는 다음 사항을 포함하기로 결정했습니다:

• 사용자 이름 공간에 표시됨.
• 데스크탑 환경에서만 보여짐 (모바일은 다음에 개발 예정)
• 4가지 모듈
  • 도움말 모듈: 도움말 링크와 질문방에 질문할 수 있는 기능 제공
  • 멘토 모듈: 모든 새 사용자에게 자유롭게 질문을 할 수 있는 멘토가 할당됨
  • 영향 모듈: 새 사용자가 편집한 문서의 문서 열람 횟수 제공
  • 계정 생성 완료 모듈: 위키백과를 시작하기 위한 간단한 절차 여러 가지에 대한 짧은 조언 제공 (이메일 인증, 사용자 문서 작성하기)
• 레이아웃은 아직 개별 사용자가 수정할 수 없음.

현재 실 사용자를 대상으로 이 기능을 테스트 중입니다. 추후 작업에는 홈페이지를 모바일에 맞게 개선하거나, 추천할 만한 작업을 보여주거나, 새 사용자가 홈페이지를 방문하도록 권하는 방식에 대한 고민이 있을 예정입니다.

도움말 패널

베트남어 위키백과의 사용자 모임 문서에서 "검색" 바를 포함한 도움말 패널을 연 모습.

몇 달 동안, 도움말 패널은 한국어 위키백과와 체코어 위키백과에 더불어 베트남어 위키백과에 배포되었습니다.2019년 3월 14일 기준으로,

• 2,425명의 새 사용자가 도움말 패널을 보았고,
• 422명이 도움말 패널을 열어 보았으며,
• 175명이 링크를 클릭해 보았고,
• 27명이 검색을 해 보았으며,
• 40명의 새 사용자가 질문을 남겼습니다.

사용량에 대한 데이터를 분석하고 있으며, 추후 몇 주 안에 수치를 공개할 예정입니다. 높은 수준에서, 일부 사용자는 링크를 클릭하고, 검색을 실행하며, 질문을 남기는 등 도움말 패널의 도움을 받고 있습니다. 현재까지 도움말 패널과 관련해 알려진 문제점은 없습니다. 따라서 성장 팀은 도움말 패널이 전반적으로 긍정적인 결과를 가져오고 있다고 생각하고 있습니다. 물론 추가되는 데이터를 통해 수치화된 결과를 볼 수 있겠죠. 다른 위키에서 이 기능에 관심이 있다면, 성장 팀의 토론 문서에 연락해 주세요.

지난 몇 달 동안, 도움말 패널은 성장 팀이 관찰한 새 사용자의 사용 패턴을 반영하도록 개선되었습니다. 첨부된 사진을 통해 현재 도움말 패널이 어떻게 동작하는 지 알아볼 수 있습니다.

• 검색 기능을 추가하여 도움말 이름공간과 위키백과 이름공간을 검색할 수 있습니다.
• 도움말 패널은 "편집" 모드에서만 볼 수 있었습니다. 이제 도움말, 위키백과, 사용자 이름공간에서 문서를 읽는 중에도 도움말 패널을 볼 수 있습니다.

새 사용자들이 "검색" 기능을 유용하게 사용하는지에 관심을 갖고 있습니다. 사용량이 많다면, 검색 기능을 개선하는 데 시간을 더 쓸 수 있겠죠. 도움말 패널을 "읽기" 모드에서 표시하는 것이 사용량 증가에 효과가 있는지에 대해서도 결과를 기다리고 있습니다.

Recent changes

• The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [215]

Problems

• There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [216]
• The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [217]
• Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [218]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 March. It will be on all wikis from 28 March (calendar).

Recent changes

• More wikis are now testing visual editor section editing for mobile users. You can read more.

Future changes

• You will be able to preview references. This means that when you hover over the link you will get a popup that shows you a preview of the reference. It will work much like page previews. This is so you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will now be available as a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia. [228][229]
• The Wikidata JSON output will change. Empty containers will be serialised as empty objects. This is a breaking change that will affect tools that use JSON outputs and APIs. It will happen on 30 April. You can read more and see how to test your code.

Growth team updates #7

성장 팀의 7번째 소식지를 읽게 된 여러분을 환영합니다!

성장 팀의 목표는 중규모 위키미디어 프로젝트에서 새 사용자가 남도록 돕는 일을 하는 소프트웨어를 만드는 것입니다.

새 사용자를 위한 홈페이지가 이번 주에 출시됩니다

테스트 위키백과에서 영어 인터페이스로 촬영된 새 사용자 홈페이지의 스크린샷.

저희 팀이 지난 달에 주로 작업한 기능은 새 사용자 홈페이지 입니다. 이 기능은 새 사용자가 위키 안에서 스스로 적응하고, 편집에 대해 배우며, 자신의 편집의 영향력을 알아볼 수 있는 장소를 제공합니다. (옆의 테스트 위키백과에서의 스크린샷을 참조하세요) 이 기능을 (미국 서부 시간) 5월 2일에 한국어, 체코어, 베트남어 위키백과에 출시할 예정입니다.

다른 성장 팀 기능과 마찬가지로 이 기능은 통제된 실험의 형식으로 배포되며, 따라서 새 사용자의 절반은 홈페이지에 접근할 수 있고, 나머지 절반은 홈페이지에 접근할 수 없습니다. 이 기능을 가진 새 사용자는 PC 환경 (모바일은 지원하지 않습니다) 브라우저 상단의 사용자 이름 칸을 클릭함으로써 접근할 수 있습니다. 이 기능을 활용하고자 하는 새 사용자들은 환경 설정에서 이 기능을 활성화할 수 있습니다.

새 사용자를 위한 홈페이지가 활성화되는 위키에서는 다음 사항을 유의하시기 바랍니다:

• 홈페이지의 "도움말 모듈"을 통해 질문방에 질문하는 사용자가 늘어날 수 있습니다.
• "멘토 모듈" 기능을 위해 멘토로 지원한 사용자는 사용자 토론 문서에 질문을 받기 시작할 것입니다.
• 더 많은 사용자들이 "시작 모듈"을 통해 사용자 문서를 만들고 편집할 것입니다.

새 모바일 홈페이지의 디자인으로 예정된 목업

최근/미래의 홈페이지 개발

이번 달에 홈페이지 기능에 개발된 가장 중요한 부분은 "시작 모듈"입니다. 이 기능은 새 사용자가 처음 무엇을 해야 할 지에 대해 명확한 할 일을 알려 줍니다. 이메일을 추가하고 확인한다던가, 튜토리얼을 완료한다던가, 사용자 문서를 작성한다던가... 이러한 기능에 대한 욕구가 존재함을 지난 달의 사용자 테스트에서 알 수 있었습니다. 다음 홈페이지 기능 개발 우선 사항은 다음과 같습니다:

• 모바일 디자인: 모바일 브라우저에서도 홈페이지가 잘 동작하게 하려면, 홈페이지 기능에 별도의 디자인과 프로그래밍이 필요합니다. 동봉된 목업을 확인하여 모바일 디자인이 될 수 있는 목업을 확인하세요.
• 문서 발견을 위한 기능: 15%에서 30% 정도의 새 사용자들이 사용자 문서를 클릭해서 홈페이지를 발견할 것입니다. 새 사용자들이 이 기능을 찾아낼 수 있도록 추가적인 방법을 개발할 예정입니다.

추가적인 모듈: 초기 버전은 간단한 모듈의 일부 기능만을 포함하고 있습니다. 추가적으로 준비 중인 모듈에는 작업 추천 모듈과 위키의 활동 피드 등을 포함하고 있습니다.

다른 변경 사항

• 도움말 패널: 성장 팀에서는 도움말 패널의 초기 성적에 대한 데이터를 공개했습니다. 개선이 필요한 부분이 일부 발견되었지만, 도움말 패널이 위키에 도움이 되는 방향으로 나아가고 있고, 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것은 아니라고 생각하고 있습니다. 다음 2주 간 도움말 패널의 미래에 대한 추가적인 데이터 공개, 계획, 공동체의 의견을 수집할 예정입니다. 도움말 패널을 여러분의 위키에서 사용하고 싶다면, 언제든지 저희 팀의 토론 문서에 알려 주세요.
• 장기 계획: 성장 팀은 기획 회의를 진행했으며, 성장 팀의 작업에 대한 몇 가지 장기적인 아이디어를 토의했습니다. 좋다고 생각한 아이디어 중에는 새 사용자 홈페이지를 이용해 자신을 설명할 수 있게 하는 기능과 팀이 보류했던 참여 이메일 기능을 재검토하는 것 등이 포함되어 있습니다. 다음 달에 저희 팀에서는 7월에 시작하는 다음 회계년도에 성장 팀이 무슨 일을 해야 할 지에 대한 의견을 수렴할 것입니다.

Recent changes

• The Wikipedia app for Android now invites users to add Wikidata descriptions to Wikidata objects that have Wikipedia articles but no Wikidata descriptions. It will only invite users who have added a number of Wikidata descriptions in the app without being reverted. This is to avoid spam and bad edits. [238][239]

Problems

• Tech News was late last week because of a MassMessage bug. Other newsletters had the same problem. [240]

Changes later this week

• You will see when you last refreshed the recent changes page. This is so you can see how recent the changes are. [241]

Call for submissions for the Community Growth space at Wikimania 2019

Welcome to a special newsletter from the Growth team! This special newsletter is not about Wikimedia Foundation Growth team projects. Instead, it is a call for submissions for the Community Growth space at Wikimania 2019. We think that many people who receive this newsletter may have something valuable to contribute to this space at Wikimania. We haven't translated the newsletter, because Wikimania's language is English.

Please see below for the message from the organizers of the Community Growth space at Wikimania.

---

Wikimania 2019 is organized into 19 “spaces”, which are all accepting proposals for sessions. This message comes from the team organizing the Community Growth space.

Since you are interested b Growth team projects, and potentially involved in welcoming newcomers initiatives on your wiki, we would like to invite you to submit a proposal to the Community Growth space because of the actions you’ve done around newcomers on wikis. The deadline for submission is June 1. See below for Community Growth submission topics and session formats. Topics and sessions have to be in English.

In the Community Growth space, we will come together for discussions, presentations, and workshops that address these questions:

• What is and is not working around attracting and retaining newcomers?
• How should Wikimedia activities evolve to help communities grow and flourish?
• How should our technology and culture evolve to help new populations to come online, participate and become community members?

Recommended topics: please see this link for the list for the list of recommended topics. If you do not plan to submit a proposal, you can also suggest additional topics here. If your topic does not fit into our space, remember that there are 18 other spaces that could welcome you sharing your knowledge and perspective.

Types of session. We prefer sessions that are participatory, interactive, promote conversations, and give a voice to parts of our movement that are heard less often. Please see this link for the list of recommended session formats.

Poster submissions. Posters are also a good way to introduce a topic, or show some results of an action. Please consider submitting one!

More information about the Community Growth space, topics, and submission formats is available on the proposal page.

Please submit your proposal. The reviews will happen at the beginning of June.

If you have questions about Wikimania in general, please ask them on the Wikimania wiki.

On behalf of the Community Growth leadership team, Trizek (WMF), 2019년 5월 16일 (목) 20:45 (KST)

Recent changes

• The report for phase 1 of the talk pages consultation 2019 has been published. Communities are invited to start phase 2 of the consultation on their wikis.

• Some diffs show an error message when you try to see them. The developers are working on fixing it. It could be because of some edit comments. [248][249]

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 5월. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 5월. It will be on all wikis from 23 5월 (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 22 5월 at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The content translation tool on Wikipedia can use machine translations. There is a system to stop translations where the editors do not fix machine translation mistakes. This warns or stops them if they seem to just copy what the machine translation gives them. If this system is too strict or not strict enough you can tell the language team. [250]
• The Wikidata wbeditentity API endpoint will remove all aliases if the request includes an empty alias. This is how it supposed to work. It has not been working this way because of a bug. This will start on 12 June. [251]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• When you create a PDF from a page on the wiki this is now done by Proton. Before this we used Electron. It should look the same but work better. Both use Chromium. This is a different system from when you collect several articles into a book and make a PDF from them. [260][261]

• Bots and other scripts that do not set an identifiable User-Agent may find their requests strictly rate-limited until they identify themselves properly. [263]

Problems

• Please check if the Flagged Revisions configuration on your wiki is as you expect (or as it was a few weeks ago). If not, please report it. [264]

Changes later this week

Growth team updates #8

성장 팀의 8번째 소식지를 읽게 된 여러분을 환영합니다!

성장 팀의 목표는 중규모 위키미디어 프로젝트에서 새 사용자가 남도록 돕는 일을 하는 소프트웨어를 만드는 것입니다.

5월에 여러 가지 일이 많아서 소식지가 늦어진 점에 대하여 사과드립니다.

일반적인 소식

• 성장 팀이 아랍어 위키백과를 새 지정 위키로 정하고 협업을 시작합니다. 한국어, 체코어, 베트남어 위키백과에 이은 새 위키입니다.
• 성장 팀의 여러 구성원이 위키미디어 해커톤에 참석했습니다. 작업한 결과물과 배운 내용을 보려면 이 업데이트 (영문)를 읽어보세요.
• 위키마니아 2019가 8월에 다가옵니다. 올해 컨퍼런스에는 "공동체 성장" 주제를 통해 소프트웨어나 공동체 협업을 통해 공동체가 발전한 내용을 다루는 세션을 포함할 것입니다.

새 사용자 홈페이지의 초기 성적

체코어 위키백과에서의 새 사용자 홈페이지 (영어로 표시됨)

• 새 사용자 홈페이지는 5월 6일 (미국 서부시간)에 한국어 위키백과와 체코어 위키백과의 데스크탑 사용자를 대상으로 배포되었습니다. A/B 테스트 형식으로 배포되었으므로, 새 사용자의 절반은 홈페이지에 접근할 수 있고 나머지 절반은 접근할 수 없습니다. 창 맨 위의 개인 툴바에 있는 자신의 사용자 이름을 클릭함으로써 접근할 수 있습니다.
• 약 한 달 간의 사용을 통해 흥미로운 트렌드를 여럿 발견했습니다. 새로운 기능을 개발하면서 모니터한 바로는 이 기능이 잘 나아가고 있는 것 같습니
  • 대략 절반의 사용자가 링크나 버튼을 통해 홈페이지를 방문합니다.
  • 대략 절반의 사용자가 홈페이지를 두 번 이상 방문하며, 5분의 1 정도는 며칠에 걸쳐 반복적으로 방문합니다.
  • 사용자들은 모든 모듈을 사용하는 경향이 있습니다 -- 특히 선호하는 도구는 없습니다.
  • 멘토에게 질문을 하지만 질문방에는 질문을 하지 않는 경향이 목격되었습니다.

새 사용자 홈페이지의 다음 목표

모바일 새 사용자 홈페이지의 디자인으로 예정된 목업

• 홈페이지를 써 본 초기 사용자로부터 좋은 반응을 얻고 있으므로, 사용자들이 홈페이지를 찾을 수 있도록 하는 작업에 집중하고 있습니다.
  • 모바일 홈페이지: 현재 홈페이지의 모바일 버전을 개발 중입니다. 5명의 사용자와 디자인을 테스트해 보았고, 이 디자인이 잘 먹힐 것이라는 확신을 갖고 있습니다.
  • 발견을 돕기 위한 기능: 홈페이지를 볼 수 있는 사용자 중 소수만이 홈페이지를 스스로 찾아옵니다. 성장 팀은 새 사용자가 홈페이지를 찾을 수 있도록 하는 기능을 디자인하고 있습니다. 가장 중요한 기능은 가이드투어를 통해 홈페이지 기능을 가리키는 기능입니다.
• 사용자 테스트를 통해 발견한 바로는 새 사용자 홈페이지에서 가장 중요한 기능은 새 사용자가 바로 편집에 집중할 수 있도록 할 일을 추천해 주는 것입니다. 다음으로 작업할 기능이 이 작업이 될 것입니다.

팀의 미래

• 성장 팀은 2018년 9월에 조직되었으며, 7월에 시작되는 다음 회계년도에 할 일을 계획하고 있습니다.
• 목표 위키에서 두드러지게 새 사용자를 끌어모으는 기능을 개발하지는 못했지만, 성장 팀은 현재 작업하고 있는 기능을 계속 개발하다 보면 새 사용자를 끌어모으는 기능을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있습니다.
• 따라서 현재 시작한 작업들을 계속할 예정이며, 새 사용자의 전반적인 경험을 향상시키는 새 기능을 개발할 것입니다. 이러한 기능은 다음 내용을 포함할 수 있습니다.
  • 새 사용자가 '사용자 문서를 만들고 위키내에서의 인지도를 확립하는 방식을 개선할 것입니다. 초기 노트를 참조하세요.
  • 새 사용자가 위키 안에서, 그리고 이메일을 통해 알림을 받는 방법을 개선하여 다른 사용자가 새 사용자에게 연락하면 빠르게 알아챌 수 있도록 돕습니다.
  • 새 사용자가 잘 한 일에 대해 상장이나 인정을 받을 수 있는 프로세스
  • 새 사용자가 위키 내의 활동을 보고 자신의 관심사를 공유할 수 있는 방법.
• 이러한 작업을 시작하기 전에 공동체와 이러한 아이디어를 정의할 수 있도록 이야기를 나눌 것입니다.

Growth team updates #9

성장 팀의 9번째 소식지를 읽게 된 여러분을 환영합니다!

성장 팀의 목표는 중규모 위키미디어 프로젝트에서 새 사용자가 남도록 돕는 일을 하는 소프트웨어를 만드는 것입니다.

더 많은 위키에 성장 팀 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다

성장 팀이 결성된 지 약 1년이 지났습니다. 그동안, 사용자를 유지하기 위해 도움이 될 거라고 생각되는 여러 기능을 개발했습니다. 여전히 어떤 기능이 사용자를 더 유지하는 데 도움이 되는지 파악하기 위한 데이터를 모으고 있지만, 이제 몇몇 기능은 이 기능을 사용해보고 싶어하는 위키에 배포될 준비가 되었다고 생각합니다. 새 사용자를 환영하는 일에 열정적인 공동체가 있다면, 언제든지 연락해 주시면 적당한 위키인지 확인해 볼 수 있습니다.

그 다음에, 체크리스트를 통해 이러한 기능을 활성화하는 절차를 시작하게 됩니다.

• 도움말 패널: 새 사용자가 도움말을 찾고 편집을 하면서 질문을 할 수 있도록 돕습니다.
• 환영 설문: 새 사용자들이 어느 주제에 관심이 있고 어떤 편집을 하려고 하는 지 알아볼 수 있습니다.
• 편집자여행: 새 사용자들이 첫 날에 어떤 행동을 하는지 알아볼 수 있습니다.

일반적인 소식

새 사용자들이 질문에 응답이 왔으니 알람을 확인하도록 독려하는 표시

• 새 분기가 시작되었고, 다음 세 달 간의 목표를 정했습니다. 가장 중요한 목표는 다음과 같습니다.
  • 새 사용자 홈페이지: 작업 추천 모듈을 통해 활동량 증가. 새 사용자 홈페이지를 통한 장기간의 긍정적인 활동이 관찰된 만큼, 새 사용자에게 가장 중요한 기능은 자신이 하고 싶은 일을 찾는 것이라고 생각합니다. 이 기능은 새 사용자의 편지에서 가장 적절한 순간에 가장 적절한 작업을 추천해 줄 것입니다.
  • 새 사용자 홈페이지: 기능 발견율을 100%까지 올리기. 현재로써 오직 20% ~ 30%의 사용자만이 홈페이지를 방문합니다. 모든 새 사용자가 이 기능을 찾는 방법을 알게 함으로써 이 숫자를 극적으로 끌어올리고자 합니다.
  • 도움말 패널: 검색, 사용자 경험, 편의성을 개선함으로써 유용함 증대. 데이터와 사용 유형을 분석해 보았고, (새 사용자가 질문에 답변을 받은 내용을 편리하게 찾을 수 있도록 하는 우측 스크린샷을 참조하세요) 기능의 유용성을 강화하기 위한 여러 가지 발전 방향을 준비하고 있습니다.
• 위키마니아가 다음 달에 다가오고 있습니다. 위키마니아에서는 "공동체 성장"을 주제로 하는 세션이 열립니다. 모든 공동체에서 모인 사람들이 새 사용자를 위키미디어 운동에 참여시키는 방법에 대해 논의하고 싶습니다.
• 팀에서는 아랍어 위키백과 - 4번째 목표 위키에 성장 팀 기능들을 배포하기 시작했습니다. 아랍어 위키백과에는 많은 모바일 사용자가 존재하며 첫번째 오른쪽에서 글을 쓰는 언어입니다. 이러한 곳에 대한 배포를 통해 최대한 많은 종류의 사용자에게 유용한 기능을 배포할 수 있기를 바랍니다.

모바일 홈페이지와 초기 분석

빈 기여 페이지에서 홈페이지를 찾도록 돕는 버튼

• 새 사용자 홈페이지의 모바일 버전이 체코어, 한국어, 베트남어 위키백과에 배포되었습니다. 새 사용자는 이제 데스크탑과 모바일 중 어느 기기를 이용하던지간에 관계 없이 홈페이지를 볼 수 있게 되었습니다.
• 새 사용자 홈페이지의 성과에 관한 첫번째 데이터셋을 발표했습니다. 요약하자면, 현재까지 홈페이지의 성과에 대단히 만족합니다. 절반의 사용자들이 무언가를 클릭하는 것을 관찰하였고, 대부분의 사용자들이 홈페이지에 여러 번 방문하는 것을 관찰했습니다.
• 홈페이지가 긍정적으로 사용되고 있는 것으로 보이므로, 여러 작은 기능들을 다음 몇 주 안에 새로 배포하여 더 많은 새 사용자들이 홈페이지를 찾도록 도울 것입니다. (우측의 이미지를 통해 빈 기여 문서에서 홈페이지를 발견하도록 돕는 기능의 화면을 확인해 보세요.)
• 위에 적힌 목표와 더불어, 작업 추천을 새 사용자 홈페이지에 추가하는 일에 집중할 것입니다. 이러한 기능에 대한 초기 의사결정을 발표하여 공동체에서 의견을 나눌 수 있도록 할 것입니다.

Growth team updates #10

성장 팀의 10번째 소식지를 읽게 된 여러분을 환영합니다!

성장 팀의 목표는 중규모 위키미디어 프로젝트에서 새 사용자가 남도록 돕는 일을 하는 소프트웨어를 만드는 것입니다.

일반적인 소식

• 성장 팀 기능은 (한국어, 체코어, 베트남어 위키백과와 더불어) 아랍어 위키백과와 바스크어 위키백과에서 완전히 기능합니다.
• 새 사용자가 홈페이지를 찾기 쉽게 돕기 위한 기능을 배포했습니다. 이 기능의 배포는 성공적이며, 홈페이지를 방문하는 사용자의 수가 두 배 이상으로 증가했습니다. 체코어 위키백과에서 72%의 새 사용자가 홈페이지를 방문하며, 한국어 위키백과에서 49%의 새 사용자가 홈페이지를 방문합니다.
• '위키미디어 스페이스'에 성장 토론방 (영어) 이 생겼습니다. 이 공간은 새 사용자를 환영하는 각종 프로젝트 간의 협업을 촉진하기 위해 생겼습니다. 와서 인사해 보세요!

위키마니아에서의 성장 팀

커뮤니티 성장 공간에서의 개회 패널

• 성장 팀원 다수가 스톡홀름에서 개최된 위키마니아에 참석했습니다. 공동테 성장에 관한 여러 행사를 기획했고, 저희 팀의 작업에 대해 설명했으며, 전 세계의 사용자들과 많은 대화를 나누었습니다.
• 가장 중요한 링크 일부를 소개해 드립니다.
  • 위키마니아 노트와 교훈
  • 지난 해의 작업에 대한 발표와 지난 작업에서의 교훈
  • 성장 팀 발표 슬라이드
• 가장 주목할 점 여러 가지는 다음과 같습니다.
  • 새 사용자 유지에 대한 동일한 입장: 위키마니아 참석자들은 일반적으로 새 사용자 유지가 중요한 문제라는 것을 인식하는 것 같았습니다.
  • 오프라인을 온라인으로 연결: 팀의 기능을 오프라인 행사에서 더 잘 연결할 수 있도록 돕는 (예를 들어, 홈페이지의 멘토를 오프라인 행사 멘토와 일치시키는) 흥미로운 아이디어 등이 등장했습니다.
  • 멘토 대시보드: 숙련된 사용자는 도움이 필요한 새 사용자를 도울 수 있을 만한 정보가 있는 대시보드를 요청했습니다.

새 사용자 작업 -- 피드백이 필요합니다!

새 사용자 작업의 목업

• 성장 팀의 주 프로젝트는 현재 새 사용자 작업입니다. 이 기능은 새 사용자에게 쉬운 편집 작업을 추천해 줍니다. 이 기능은 새 사용자 홈페이지의 새 모듈로써 개발될 예정입니다.
• 이 프로젝트가 새 사용자들이 새 문서를 만든다거나 사진을 올린다거나 하는 복잡한 작업을 하기 전에 편집 기술을 익힐 수 있는 방식이 되기를 바라고 있습니다.
• 해결 중인 세 가지 주요 문제점들은 다음과 같습니다.
  • 작업을 어디서 가져올까요? 많은 작업 출처를 고려한 후에, 대부분의 위키에서 (문서 정리, 링크 추가, 출처 추가 등 작업에) 적용되는 유지보수 틀을 기반으로 추천을 시작하기로 결정되었습니다.
  • 관심사와 연결해야 할까요? 연구 결과는 사용자들이 자신의 관심사와 일치하는 작업을 더 관심 있게 할 것으로 보고 있습니다. 현재 새 사용자에게 사용자의 관심사를 묻고 그 관심사를 기반으로 문서를 제시하는 방식의 프로토타입을 준비하고 있습니다
  • 새 사용자를 어떻게 이끌어야 할까요? 새 사용자가 추천받은 글을 누른 후에도, 문서 편집을 완료하기 위한 도움이 필요합니다. 도움말 패널을 통해 새 사용자 편집을 돕기 위한 가이드를 제공하기로 했습니다.
• 이 기능은 현재 개발 중이며, 대부분 긍정적인 반응을 얻은 사용자 테스트 후기를 최근에 게시했습니다.
• 새 사용자 작업의 디자인을 상호작용 가능한 목업에서 테스트할 수 있습니다. 여러분의 생각을 프로젝트 토론 문서에서 듣고 싶습니다. 새 사용자에게 도움이 될까요? 잊고 있는 게 있을까요?

Tech News: 2019-42

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can now use more advanced editing tools on the mobile web. You can turn them on and off in your preferences in the mobile version. [311]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 October. It will be on all wikis from 17 October (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 16 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are no longer supported. This means the browsers might start looking a bit weird. They will not get security support. You can't read Wikimedia wikis in Internet Explorer on Windows XP or Windows versions that are older than Windows XP. This is because almost no one uses the browsers anymore. Supporting them made the wikis less secure for everyone else. [312]
• In the future section headings might have a share link. This is to make it easier to link to the section. You can read more and discuss.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The API sandbox and help pages now show more clearly when API modules are marked as internal. API modules marked as internal were probably internal before. It was easier to miss. You should look for non-internal alternatives. [313]

Problems

• There is a translation tool we use on wikis with more than one language. For a few days it did not create pages for new languages when someone translated a page. The languages did not show in the language bar. This has been fixed. [314]
• The history and diffs can show wrong content. This is because of a cache problem. It will soon be fixed. [315]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 October. It will be on all wikis from 24 October (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 23 October. See how to join.

Growth team updates #11

성장 팀의 11번째 소식지를 읽게 된 여러분을 환영합니다!

성장 팀의 목표는 중규모 위키미디어 프로젝트에서 새 사용자가 남도록 돕는 일을 하는 소프트웨어를 만드는 것입니다.

일반적인 소식

• 더 많은 위키로 확장: 성장 팀 기능을 우크라이나어와 헝가리어 위키백과에 배포할 준비를 하고 있습니다. 현재 기능이 활성화된 위키는 한국어, 체코어, 아랍어, 베트남어, 바스크어 위키백과입니다. 새 사용자를 환영하고 싶어하는 위키가 있다면 저희에게 연락해 주시면 위키가 적합한지 확인할 수 있도록 도와 드리겠습니다. 그 후에 체크리스트를 점검하며 기능을 설정하는 절차를 시작하게 됩니다.
• 멘토 트레이닝: 체코어 공동체에서 숙련된 사용자가 새 사용자를 유치하는 것을 돕는 기술을 갈고 닦기 위한 첫 멘토 훈련을 실시했습니다.
• 멘토 가이드가 업데이트되었습니다. 번역해 주세요!

도움말 패널 결론

도움말 패널을 사용하여 편집 추천을 따라가는 동안 도움을 제공하는 목업

도움말 패널은 2019년 1월에 처음 새 사용자에게 배포되었으며, 이 기능의 영향을 평가하는 작업이 최근 종료되었습니다. 짧은 설명이 아래 제공되며, 더 자세한 내용은 여기 (영문)에서 볼 수 있습니다.

• 요약하자면, 도움말 패널이 "많이" 사용되기는 했지만, 도움말 패널은 "활성화" (새 사용자가 첫 편집을 저장하는지 여부)나 "유지" (사용자가 돌아와서 편집을 하는지 여부)에 도움을 주지 못했습니다.
• 실망스러운 결과이며, 이러한 결과의 이유와 추후 작업 계획을 논의했습니다. 도움말 패널을 발전시키기 위한 여러 아이디어가 있지만, 현재로써는 팀의 역량을 새 사용자 홈페이지와 새 사용자 작업 프로젝트에 집중하기로 했습니다.
• 도움말 패널을 새 사용자 작업 프로젝트에서 새 사용자가 추천받은 편집을 완료하도록 가이드하는 데 사용할 예정입니다.
• 질문과 의견을 토론 문서에서 받고 있습니다.

새 사용자 작업 배포

새 사용자 작업의 주제 선정 목업

• 새 사용자 작업의 첫 버전 (V1.0)이 다음 주에 4개 중점 위키에 배포될 예정입니다. 새 버전은 정비용 틀을 기반으로 문서 편집을 추천해 줍니다. 첫 버전에서, 많은 새 사용자가 추천을 받겠지만, 적은 수의 사용자가 추천받은 문서를 선택하거나 편집을 저장할 것으로 예상합니다. 추후 버전을 통해 이러한 현상을 개선할 것입니다.
• 많은 새 사용자가 새 사용자 홈페이지에 방문하므로 새 사용자가 편집하도록 유도하고, 편집에 적응하는 데 도움을 주는 첫 요소가 될 것을 기대하고 있습니다.
• 현재 계획 중인 다음 두 버전에서의 기능은 다음과 같습니다.
  • V1.1 (주제 매칭) 기능을 통해 새 사용자가 관심사 주제 (예술, 음악, 스포츠, 기술)를 선정해서 추천을 개인화할 수 있도록 도울 것입니다. 여러 방법을 알아본 후, 위키미디어 재단의 ORES 기능을 이용한 모델을 사용하기로 결정했습니다. 모델이 자동으로 각 문서의 주제를 판단합니다. 이러한 기능이 새 사용자가 선택할 문서를 결정하는 데 도움을 줄 것으로 보고 있습니다.
  • V1.2 (가이드)는 새 사용자가 편집을 하러 도착하면 도움말 패널을 통해 문서 편집을 완료하는 데 필요한 도움을 제공하게 됩니다. 이러한 기능을 통해 새 사용자가 생산적인 문서 편집을 완료하는 비율을 높이고자 합니다.
• 프로젝트 문서에 작업 순서의 디자인이 저장되어 있으며, 토론 문서에서 질문이나 의견을 언제든지 받고 있습니다.

• There will be a new schema for XML dumps. Scripts and apps that use them will need to be updated. If they are not updated they will no longer work. [327]
• The {{REVISIONID}} magic word will no longer work in the content namespaces. This is for performance reasons. When you preview a page it returns "" (empty string). When you read a page it returns "-" (dash). In the future this will also affect other namespaces. The next ones are file and category namespaces. [328]

• You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser use very old TLS. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It can lead to downgrade attacks.

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 1월. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 1월. It will be on all wikis from 16 1월 (calendar).

Future changes

• Deepcat and Catgraph will stop working. This will happen at the end of January. This is because you can now use the normal search function instead. [340]
• You can use <ref follow="…"> to merge footnotes that follow each other. It is meant to be used for digitised books on Wikisource. If the order of the footnotes is wrong no error was shown but the bad <ref> was shown outside the <references /> list. This will change and you will see an error message instead. [341]

Growth team updates #12

성장 팀의 12번째 소식지를 읽게 된 여러분을 환영합니다!

성장 팀의 목표는 중규모 위키미디어 프로젝트에서 새 사용자가 남도록 돕는 일을 하는 소프트웨어를 만드는 것입니다.

일반적인 소식

• 멘토를 위한 강의가 공개되었습니다. 이 강의는 체코어 위키백과에서 먼저 시도되었으며, 성공적인 결과를 낳았습니다.
• 성장 팀 기능이 헝가리어, 우크라이나어, 아르메니아어 위키백과에 적용되었습니다.

새 사용자 작업의 생산적인 편집

새 사용자 작업을 11월 20일에 (미국 현지시간) 목표 위키에 적용하였고, 초기 결과는 아주 흥미롭습니다.

편집의 종류에 따른 추천 편집
그래프 캡션 (위에서 아래로):
■ 교열
■ 링크 추가
■ 문서 살찌우기
■ 출처 추가
■ 고급 편집

• 약 1.5%의 새 사용자가 추천받은 편집을 완료했습니다. 결과적으로 모든 위키에서 모바일과 데스크탑을 합쳐서 450회가 넘는 편집을 기록했습니다.
• 새 사용자가 한 기여를 분석해 본 결과, 대부분의 기여가 긍정적임을 확인했습니다. 이 기능이 문서 훼손을 독려하지 않는다는 점에 기쁘게 생각합니다.
  • 75%의 편집이 생산적이고 되돌려지지 않았습니다.
  • 95%의 편집이 좋은 의도로 만들어진 것으로 보입니다.
• 대부분의 편집이 교열이나 링크를 추가하는 것이었지만, 몇몇 새 사용자가 새 내용을 추가하거나 새 출처를 넣었습니다. 시스템이 교열을 가장 많이 추천했습니다.
• 결과에 대한 자세한 내용은 여기를 참조하세요.

주제 매칭 적용됨

사용자 테스트 결과 새 사용자가 관심을 가지는 주제 (예: 과학, 음악, 스포츠 등) 에 대한 문서를 추천해 줄 때 추천받은 편집을 실제로 행할 확률이 더 높다는 것을 알아냈습니다.

• 1월 21일에, 주제 매칭을 파일럿 위키에 배포했습니다. 새 사용자가 이 기능에 기반한 추천을 받습니다. 더 많은 사용자가 추천받은 편집을 행할 것으로 기대하며, 더 많이 편집을 할 것으로 기대합니다.
• 다가오는 몇 주간, 주제 매칭에 사용된 알고리즘을 ORES 프로젝트에 기반한 엔진으로 변경하여 기능의 발전을 꾀할 예정입니다.

새 사용자 작업의 다음 목표

모바일에서 도움말 패널이 하단에서 튀어나와서 가이드를 제공하는 프로토타입

새 사용자 작업에서 긍정적인 결과를 보고 있으므로, 성장 팀은 이 플로우를 개선하여 새 사용자가 더 많이 이 기능을 사용하도록 하는 데에 노력을 집중하기로 결정했습니다.

• 가이드: 도움말 패널을 사용하여 새 사용자가 편집 추천을 받을 때 가이드를 제공하고, 편집을 완료한 후 새 편집을 하도록 독려할 예정입니다. 이 기능의 사용자 테스트에서 데모 비디오를 좋아한 사용자들이 많았고, 어떻게 이 기능을 추가할 지 생각해 볼 예정입니다.
• 작업 시작: 홈페이지를 방문하는 사용자의 20%만이 새 사용자 작업을 시작합니다. 다른 레이아웃을 적용해 봄으로써 더 많은 새 사용자가 새 사용자 작업 기능을 사용해 보도록 독려할 것입니다.
• 추가적인 작업 종류: 특정한 링크를 추가하도록 추천한다거나, 공용에 있는 사진을 위키 안에 추가하도록 독려하는 등의 더 세부적인 추천을 할 수 있는 방법을 연구 중입니다.

성장 팀이 준비하고 봇이 게시하는 성장 팀 뉴스레터 • 피드백 제공 • 구독 또는 구독 해제
