기술 소식: 2022-16

위키미디어 기술 커뮤니티의 최신 기술 뉴스입니다. 이러한 변경 사항에 대해 다른 사용자에게 알려주십시오. 모든 변경 사항이 영향을 미치는 것은 아닙니다. 번역이 가능합니다.

이번 주 후반 변경 사항

• 미디어위키의 새 버전은 19 4월부터 테스트 위키와 MediaWiki.org에 있습니다. 20 4월부터 위키백과가 아닌 위키와 일부 위키백과에 게시됩니다. 21 4월(캘린더)부터 모든 위키에 표시됩니다.
• 일부 위키는 기본 데이터베이스의 전환으로 인해 몇 분 동안 읽기 전용 상태가 됩니다. 4월 19일 07:00 UTC(대상 위키) 및 4월 21일 7:00 UTC(대상 위키)에 수행됩니다.
• 이제 관리자는 지정된 페이지를 삭제할 때 관련 "토론" 페이지를 삭제/삭제 취소할 수 있는 옵션을 갖게 됩니다. 이 옵션이 있는 API 엔드포인트도 사용할 수 있습니다. 이것으로 2021년 커뮤니티 위시리스트 설문조사의 11번째 소원을 마칩니다.
• 선택한 위키에서 로그인한 사용자의 50%가 새 목차를 보게 됩니다. 페이지를 위아래로 스크롤할 때 목차는 화면의 동일한 위치에 유지됩니다. 이것은 데스크탑 개선 프로젝트의 일부입니다. [10]
• 미디어위키 코드로 생성된 메시지 상자에는 더 이상 다음 CSS 클래스가 없습니다: successbox, errorbox, warningbox. 해당 클래스 및 messagebox에 대한 스타일은 미디어위키 코어에서 제거됩니다. 이것은 위키텍스트에서 이러한 클래스를 사용하거나 사이트 전체 CSS 내에서 모양을 변경하는 위키에만 영향을 줍니다. 이러한 클래스에 대한 현지 사용법 및 정의를 검토하십시오. 이것은 이전에 기술 소식의 2월 28일호에서 발표되었습니다.

다음 변경 사항

• 카토그래퍼는 FlaggedRevisions 페이지 안정화와 호환됩니다. 카토그래퍼 지도는 보류 중인 변경 사항이 있는 페이지에서도 작동합니다. [11] 카토그래퍼 문서가 완전히 업데이트되었습니다. [12] [13] [14]

Tech News: 2022-22

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

• In the AbuseFilter extension, an ip_in_ranges() function has been introduced to check if an IP is in any of the ranges. Wikis are advised to combine multiple ip_in_range() expressions joined by | into a single expression for better performance. You can use the search function on Special:AbuseFilter to locate its usage. [35]
• The IP Info feature which helps abuse fighters access information about IPs, has been deployed to all wikis as a beta feature. This comes after weeks of beta testing on test.wikipedia.org.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 June. It will be on all wikis from 2 June (calendar).
• Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on 31 May at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis).
• The New Topic Tool will be deployed for all editors at most wikis soon. You will be able to opt out from within the tool and in Preferences. [36][37]
• The list=usercontribs API will support fetching contributions from an IP range soon. API users can set the uciprange parameter to get contributions from any IP range within the limit. [38]
• A new parser function will be introduced: {{=}}. It will replace existing templates named "=". It will insert an equal sign. This can be used to escape the equal sign in the parameter values of templates. [39]

기술 소식: 2022-25

위키미디어 기술 커뮤니티의 최신 기술 소식입니다. 이 변경 사항을 다른 사용자에게 알려주세요. 모든 변경 사항이 여러분에게 영향을 미치는 것은 아닙니다. 번역도 가능합니다.

최근 변경 사항

• 이제 안드로이드용 위키백과 앱에는 오버플로 메뉴(점 3개로 된 메뉴 )에 전체 페이지를 한 번에 편집할 수 있는 옵션이 있습니다. [47]
• 일부 최근 데이터베이스 변경 사항은 Quarry 도구를 사용하는 쿼리에 영향을 줄 수 있습니다. 영어 위키백과, 공용 및 위키데이터에서 site_stats에 대한 쿼리를 업데이트해야 합니다. 자세히 알아보기.
• 새로운 user_global_editcount 변수를 남용 필터에 사용하여 전역 활성 사용자에게 영향을 미치지 않도록 할 수 있습니다. [48]

이 주의 변경 사항

• 6월 21일 새로운 버전의 미디어위키가 테스트 위키와 MediaWiki.org에 적용될 예정입니다. 위키백과가 아닌 위키와 몇몇 다른 위키백과에는 6월 22일에, 6월 23일 (일정표)부터는 모든 위키에 적용될 예정입니다.
• 모바일 장치에서 반응하지 않는 스킨(예: 모노북 또는 벡터) 사용자는 기본 확대/축소 수준이 약간 변경되었음을 알 수 있습니다. 이는 확대/축소를 최적화하고 모든 인터페이스 요소가 페이지에 있는지 확인하기 위한 것입니다(예: 벡터 2022의 목차). 드물지만 이로 인해 사이트 사용 방식에 문제가 발생하는 경우 더 잘 이해하고 싶습니다. 모든 위키 대화에 Jon (WMF)를 핑(ping)하세요. [49]

다음 변경 사항

• 토론도구의 베타 기능은 7월 내내 업데이트됩니다. 토론은 다르게 보일 것입니다. 제안된 변경 사항 중 일부를 볼 수 있습니다.
• Parsoid의 HTML 출력은 곧 다른 typeof 속성 값으로 파일 링크에 주석을 추가하는 것을 중단하고 대신 모든 유형에 대해 mw:File을 사용합니다. 도구 작성자는 mw:Image, mw:Audio 또는 mw:Video와 같이 예상되는 모든 코드를 조정해야 합니다. [50]

Growth team newsletter #21

Welcome to the twenty-first newsletter from the Growth team!

New project: Positive reinforcement

Mockup of the Impact module, redesigned to add Positive reinforcement.

• The Growth team started a new project: Positive reinforcement. We want newcomers to understand there is an interest in regularly editing Wikipedia, and we want to improve new editor retention.
• We asked users from Arabic, Bangla, Czech and French Wikipedia about their feedback. Some people participated at mediawiki.org as well.
• We summarized the initial feedback gathered from these community discussions, along with how we plan to iterate based on that feedback.
• The first Positive Reinforcement idea is a redesign of the impact module: incorporating stats, graphs, and other contribution information. This idea received the widest support, and we plan to start our work based on the design illustrated on the side.
• Please let us know what you think of this project, in any language.

For mentors

• We have worked on two new features, to inform them about the mentorship:
  • In the Mentor module, we now provide more information about the public nature of the mentors/newcomer relationship and the fact that talk pages are public.
  • We now allow newcomers to opt-in and opt-out of mentorship.

Scaling

• "Add a link" available at more wikis ― Add a link feature has been deployed to more wikis: Catalan Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia, Swedish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Abkhazian Wikipedia, Achinese Wikipedia, Adyghe Wikipedia, Afrikaans Wikipedia, Akan Wikipedia, Alemannisch Wikipedia, Amharic Wikipedia, Aragonese Wikipedia, Old English Wikipedia, Syriac Wikipedia, Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia, Asturian Wikipedia, Atikamekw Wikipedia, Avaric Wikipedia, Aymara Wikipedia, Azerbaijani Wikipedia, South Azerbaijani Wikipedia. This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to more Wikipedias. The communities can configure locally how this feature works.
• "Add an image" available at more wikis ― Add an image feature will be deployed to more wikis: Greek Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia. These communities will be able to configure locally how this feature works. [58]

Suggested edits

• Selecting topics ― We have created an "AND" filter to the list of topics at Special:Homepage. This way, newcomers can decide to select very specific topics ("Transportation" AND "Asia") or to have a broader selection ("Transportation" OR "Asia"). At the moment this feature is tested at pilot wikis.
• Changes for Add a link ― We have built several improvements that came from community discussion and from data analysis. They will be available soon at the wikis.
  • Algorithm improvements ― The algorithm now avoids recommending links in sections that usually don't have links and for first names. Also, it now limits each article to only having three link suggestions by default (limited to the highest accuracy suggestions of all the available ones in the article).
  • User experience improvements ― We added a confirmation dialog when a user exits out of suggestion mode prior to making changes. We also improved post-edit dialog experience and allow newcomers to browse through task suggestions from the post-edit dialog.
  • Community configuration ― We allow communities to set a maximum number of links per article via Special:EditGrowthConfig.
  • Future change for Add a link feature ― We will suggest underlinked articles in priority. [59]
• Patrolling suggested edits ― Some users at Arabic Wikipedia, Spanish Wikipedia, and Russian Wikipedia told us that "Add a link" and "Add an image" edits can be challenging to patrol. We are now brainstorming improvements to help address this challenge. We have already some ideas and we started some work to address this challenge. If you have any thoughts to add about the challenges of reviewing these tasks or how we should improve these tasks further, please let us know, in any language.

Community configuration

Communities can configure how the features work, using Special:EditGrowthConfig.

• Communities can set the maximum number of "add an image" suggested tasks a newcomer can complete daily. [60]
• Future change: allow communities to customize the "add a link" quality gate threshold easily, using Special:EditGrowthConfig. [61]

Growth team newsletter #22

Welcome to the twenty-second newsletter from the Growth team!

Newcomers tasks reach the 500,000 edits milestone — more data publicly available

As of the last week of June 2022, the newcomers of the world have completed over 500,000 newcomer tasks. In other words, newcomers have made over half a million Wikipedia edits via Growth’s “Suggested Edits” module.

• About 30% of those edits were completed on mobile devices.
• Usage continues to increase; in June 2022 almost 50,000 newcomer tasks were completed.

We have added some new data to Grafana. You can now check the number of edits and reverts by task types, or the number of questions asked to mentors. You can filter the data by wiki.

If you have any questions, or there is more data you want access to, please let us know.

Ongoing projects and explorations

The new impact module is part of the Positive Reinforcement project. The image displays the mockup for mobile we used for user testing.

We are continuing our work on our new project, Positive Reinforcement. User testing of initial Positive Reinforcement designs was just completed. Interviews were conducted in Arabic, English, and Spanish. The outcome has been published on the Positive Reinforcement page. We are now utilizing user testing feedback along with prior community feedback to iterate and improve designs.

We are exploring the idea of a Copy Edit structured task. We have tested copy edits in Wikipedia articles for arwiki, bnwiki, cswiki, eswiki (Growth pilot-wikis) and enwiki with two different methods: LanguageTool and Hunspell. We will share more details here and on the associated Copy Edit page once the evaluation is complete.

Add an image was utilized at GLAM events in Argentina, Mexico, and Chile. For an overview of what was learned from these events, read: #1Pic1Article I: how Latin American heritage experts added images to Wikipedia (in English).

Experiments analysis

Add a Link Experiment Analysis has been published. The most important points are:

• Newcomers who get the Add a Link structured task are more likely to be activated (i.e. make a constructive first article edit).
• They are also more likely to be retained (i.e. come back and make another constructive article edit on a different day).
• The feature also increases edit volume (i.e. the number of constructive edits made across the first couple weeks), while at the same time improving edit quality (i.e. the likelihood that the newcomer's edits aren't reverted).

Newcomer task edit type analysis has been published.

• Communities had expressed concern that newcomers whose initial edits were structured tasks wouldn’t go on to learn how to complete more difficult tasks. The Growth team data scientist conducted a Newcomer task edit type analysis to see if this was indeed the case.
• Results from analysis indicate that this likely isn’t a significant concern. More than 70% of users who start with the easy task "Add a link" also make another task type. Read the full analysis and methodology here.

News for mentors

A new system for the mentors list

The configuration of the mentors list will change over the next weeks. In the future, mentors will sign up, edit their mentor description and quit using Special:MentorDashboard. This new system will make the development of new features for mentors much easier.

At the moment, the mentor list is a simple page anyone can edit, unless it’s protected. With the new page, mentors will be able to edit only their own description, while administrators will be able to edit the entire mentors' list if needed.

The deployment will happen first at the pilot wikis, then at all wikis. Existing lists of mentors will be automatically converted, no action will be needed from the mentors. [86][87]

Mentors will be informed about the next steps soon, by a message posted on the talk page of existing Mentor lists.

A tip for mentors

Did you know that mentors can filter their mentees' changes at Special:MentorDashboard (and star the ones that require attention)? This feature helps to keep an eye on newcomers' edits, helping mentors to fix minor details, and encourage them if necessary.

And did you know that mentors have special filters to highlight their mentees' edits at Special:RecentChanges? Look for the following filters in RecentChanges: 북마크한 멘티, 북마크하지 않은 멘티.

Other improvements

Some improvements will be made to the mentor dashboard in the coming weeks:

• While we now offer some options for mentors to take a break, the option to quit mentoring was not easy to find. This will be improved. [88]
• Mentors at wikis using FlaggedRevisions will have a way to discover their mentees' pending edits. [89]
• Dashboard discovery for new mentors will be improved. [90]

Recent changes and fixed bugs

• We moved to a new Image Suggestions API. This new API will allow us to deploy Add an Image to more wikis. [91]
• Starting September 19, a few more wikis now offer Add an image to newcomers. These wikis are 그리스어 위키백과, 폴란드어 위키백과, 중국어 위키백과, 인도네시아어 위키백과, 루마니아어 위키백과. [92]
• Add an image has been disabled for a few days due to technical issue. "Add an image" added a blank line instead of an image. This has been fixed. [93]
• In order to know if Special:EditGrowthConfig is used by communities, we now instrument page loads and saves of configuration. [94]

    • Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Wikidata Working Hour September 30, 2022: the seventh Wikidata Working Hour in the series will be a review session of creating contributor and publisher items in Wikidata. The primary goal of this session is to generate as many contributor and publisher items as we can in advance of the two following sessions which have to do with batch editing -- we want enough to make a good batch! We will review how to add items, but then reserve the bulk of the session for open editing, kind of like a mini-editathon! Naturally, participants can ask questions and share thoughts at any point during the editing! You are, as always, welcome to bring your own data to work on. All sessions in the project series will be recorded. Links will be added when available. Event page
