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. [1][2]
• It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [3]
• 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. [4]
• 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. [5]
• 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. [6]

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. [7]

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. [8]
• 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. [9]
• 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. [10]

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. [11]
• A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [12]
• 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. [13][14]

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. [15]
• Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [16][17]
• 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. [18]

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. [19]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 June. It will be on all wikis from 7 June (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 5 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 6 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This is planned to happen in June or early July. [20][21]

Improvements coming soon on Watchlists

Kategori:Landsbybrønden

Hello

Sorry to use English. Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog! Tak.

In short: starting on June 18, New Filters for Edit Review (now in Beta) will become standard on Watchlists. They provide an array of new tools and an improved interface. If you prefer the current page you will be able to opt out. Learn more about the New Filters.

What is this feature again?

This feature is used by default on Special:RecentChanges, Special:RecentChangesLinked and as a Beta feature on Special:Watchlist.

Based on a new design, that feature adds new functions to those pages, to ease vandalism tracking and support of newcomers:

• Filtering - filter recent changes with easy-to-use and powerful filters combinations, including filtering by namespace or tagged edits.
• Highlighting - add a colored background to the different changes you are monitoring. It helps quick identification of changes that matter to you.
• Bookmarking to keep your favorite configurations of filters ready to be used.
• Quality and Intent Filters - those filters use ORES predictions. They identify real vandalism or good faith intent contributions that need help. They are not available on all wikis.

You can know more about this project by visiting the quick tour help page.

About the release on Watchlists

Over 70,000 people have activated the New Filters beta, which has been in testing on Watchlist for more than eight months. We feel confident that the features are stable and effective, but if you have thoughts about these tools or the beta graduation, please let us know on the project talk page. In particular, tell us if you know of a special incompatibility or other issue that makes the New Filters problematic on your wiki. We’ll examine the blocker and may delay release on your wiki until the issue can be addressed.

The deployment will happen on June 18, or on June 25, depending on the wiki (check the list). After the deployment, you will also be able to opt-out this change directly from the Watchlist page and also in your preferences.

How to be ready

Please share this announcement!

If you use local Gadgets that change things on your Watchlist pages, or have a customized scripts or CSS, be ready. You may have to make some changes to your configuration. Despite the fact that we have tried to take most cases into consideration, some configurations may break. The Beta phase is a great opportunity to have a look at local scripts and gadgets: some of them may be replaced by native features from the Beta feature.

Please share your questions and comments on the feedback page.

On behalf of the Collaboration team, Trizek (WMF) 7. jun 2018, 16:55 (CEST)

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. [22]
• There is a new version of Pywikibot. Pywikibot is a tool to automate tasks on MediaWiki wikis. [23]

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. [24]

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. [25][26]

• 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.

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. [27]

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. [28][29]
• 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. [30][31]
• 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. [32]

Husk

Husk at bruge [fjern redigering] i stedet for tilbagerulning når der er tale om en uenighed om indhold og ikke hærværk. Nu er det ikke fordi jeg tror du ikke ved det allerede eller gør det bevidst, men sommetider glemmer man det (inklusive mig selv). Fortsat god dag. -- InsaneHacker 🕊️ (🗨️) 15. maj 2018, 12:08 (CEST)

Jo... der fandt du mig lige sovende . Tak!
 •    Rodejong    _✉️ ^👀 → 15. maj 2018, 12:13 (CEST)

Jeg ser du har misbrugt tilbagerulingsværktøjet i stedet for at tage en dialog, som en anden var gået igang med. --Steen Th (diskussion) 15. maj 2018, 12:17 (CEST)

LoL! Du får ikke ret på chatten, så du tænker... lad mig prøve på Wiki? Helt ærlig! Og nej, jeg fjernede redigeringen, og skrev det med det sammen på hans disk hvorfor, og hvor han kunne tag dialogen, som jeg også forklarede på chatten. Slap lidt af! Du behøver ikke at gentage hvad en anden administrator allerede har sagt!
 •    Rodejong    _✉️ ^👀 → 15. maj 2018, 12:20 (CEST)

Tal pænt Rodejong - og lad være med at gætte på andres motiver. mvh Tøndemageren (diskussion) 15. maj 2018, 12:24 (CEST)

Lad det nu ligge. Jeg mindede ham om ikke at bruge tilbagerulningsværktøjet og han rettede ind. Jeg ved ikke hvad i har skrevet på IRC, men problemstillingen er løst, så der er ingen grund til at fortsætte. -- InsaneHacker 🕊️ (🗨️) 15. maj 2018, 12:27 (CEST)

Hvorfor?

Rodejong, endnu en dag med konflikt, hvor du med spredhagl angriber andre brugere og anvender nedladende udsagn om disse. Du formår simpelt hen ikke at indgå i en diskussion uden at angribe personer, som du er uenig med. Du kender ikke til Wikikette og anvender nedsættende udtryk som "politiske Povpushere", "Du har åbenbart IKKE fulgt med!" samt en overflod af udråbstegn og versaler i dine indlæg. Jeg kan forstå, at du så også på IRC krydrer dette med en række udfald mod andre brugere.

Selve redigeringskrigen må diskuteres det relevante sted, men din adfærd er skadelig for dansk Wikipedia. Det har ikke noget at gøre med, om du har ret eller ej i den konkrete redigeringskrig, men er knyttet til, at du simpelt hen ikke forstår at være på Wikipedia.

Jeg kan forstå, at SteenTh har opfordret dig til at tage en pause. Det er en opfordring som jeg kan tilslutte mig.

Ønsker du ikke at være på dansk Wikipedia under forudsætningen om udvisning af Wikikette, er det svært at se din berettigelse i projektet. --Pugilist (diskussion) 15. maj 2018, 16:13 (CEST)

Pugilist, Jeg har aldrig smidt parfume på rådne fisk! (hvis den udtryk siger dig noget?) Det er noget man lægger meget vægt på. Bare man siger tinge i en pænt tone, må man sige alt hvad du har lyst til. Sådan er jeg ikke. Jeg kalder tingene som de er. Så er der ingen tvivl om det.

Jeg kommer i en konflikt da jeg forsøger at værne om Wikipedias artikler. Jeg er ikke imod inklusionisme. Tvært imod. Men der er grænser til hvad der hører på artikler. Og når jeg beder at søge konsensus (Endda flere gange) mener jeg at vi kan tage det som om brugeren ikke vil søge konsensus. Jeg har ikke mere rettighedder end andre, men jeg mener at jeg har ret til at forsvare indholdet på artiklerne, så POV bliver fjernet og forbliver fjernet. At Steenth fejlvurderede det (han så at der var en konflikt mellem brugeren og mig, og valgte direkte brugerens side) er for hans regning, og det er også InsaneHacker der skrev at jeg allerede havde indrømmet at jeg brugte det forkerte værktøj, så hele kommentaret fra steenth var ikke nødvendigt, og kun konflikt optrappende, ligesom jeg ser dette kommentar som en provokation. Igen "smør efter madtiden"! Ikke første gang iøvrigt!

Rodejong, du må nok leve med, at andre brugere evaluerer din adfærd efter af du har udvist en sådan. Det kan du så betegne som "smør efter madtid", men det er nu engang sådan verden er skruet sammen.

Jeg noterer, at du ikke forholder dig til det jeg skriver, men derimod fortsætter diskussionen af den konkrete hændelse. Det afgørende er ikke hændelsen, men derimod din adfærd i diskussioner. Jeg kan forstå, at du ikke agter at ændre adfærd.

Jeg noterer ligeledes, at du ser det som en "provokation", at jeg skriver på din diskussionsside. Det er beklageligt, at du opfatter det sådan. Det er ikke sundt for projektet. --Pugilist (diskussion) 15. maj 2018, 17:19 (CEST)

Rodejong, du vil gøre vel i at tage imod opfordringen til at ændre adfærd over for andre brugere, muligvis endda til pause. Du siger tingene som de er, men er også hurtig til at fare i flint, når andre ikke taler pænt til dig; det er endda så vigtigt for dig, at du har det stående øverst på denne side. Din adfærd er skadelig for dansk Wikipedia. Der er adskillige sider, der beskriver god adfærd; læs gerne afsnittet om Wikikette igen, som Pugilist siger. Der er alt for mange diskussioner, der er løbet af sporet, fordi det har endt med at dreje sig om de ord, der er blevet sagt, i stedet for sagens reelle indhold. Du er mange gange blevet opfordret til at tale pænt til og om dine medskribenter, især nye brugere. Tag pausen, læs materialet, og vend tilbage klar til at indgå i konstruktive samarbejder baseret på høflig konversation. --Medic (Lindblad) (diskussion) 15. maj 2018, 20:59 (CEST)

Spøjse ordsprog

Kære Rodejong. Dette indlæg er ikke ment negativt overhovedet, så håber ikke du ser det sådan (du ved hvorfor jeg skriver sådan), men sådan i al venskabelighed, så bliver jeg simpelthen nødt til at høre dig, hvor du får dine til tider ekstremt sjove ordsprog fra, som overhovedet intet har med dansk at gøre? Det er virkelig kun af ren nysgerrighed jeg spørger (har i og for sig intet imod dem - selvom jeg ikke fatter de fleste). Men eksempler som "jeg har aldrig smidt parfume på rådne fisk" og "smør efter madtiden" er evigt underholdene når man har dansk som modersmål (du kender sikkert det samme fra hollandsk) - så bliv endelig ved med dem, men er det hollandske ordsprog du bare har oversat? Håber på svar i al venskabelighed (for en gangs skyld faktisk) :D mvh Tøndemageren (diskussion) 15. maj 2018, 17:16 (CEST)

Det er korrekte. Jeg har for længst givet op hvilke ordsprog vi har til fælles og hvilke ikke. Og da mit sprog er fyld med ordsprog (virkelig alt har et ordsprog) er også måden jeg tænker på rent i ordsprog. "At bære vand til havet", "At se en givet hest i munden", "Æblet falder ikke langt fra træet","De bedste styrmand står ved kajen", "Hvert hus har et kors", "At finde hunden i gryden", ... og der findes sikkert 10.000 af den slags. nogle afviger lidt fra hvilket område man kommer fra. Men hvis du ikke forstår dem, bare spørg!

"Sidde folk på nakken"

Hej Rodejong. Jeg kunne ikke lade være med at studse over denne kommentar til Rmir2. Hvad mener du med den? Er det endnu et hollandsk orsprog, som har en mening der ikke helt slår igennem til dansk - eller er din mening, at vi på dansk Wikipedia har får vane at "være på nakken af folk", i den betydning at vi våger over folk og ubønhørligt leder efter og påpeger den mindste fejl for at kunne stille folk til regnskab for dem, om det er rimeligt eller ej?

Jeg forstår ikke dit angreb, Rodejong. Jeg stillede dig et spørgsmål, fordi jeg havde en undren. Hvorfor skal dét føre frem til dit første svar herover? Jeg er reelt interesseret i at vide, om du oplever at communityet på da.wiki "er på nakken af folk" i den betydning, jeg beskrev herover, eller om du med "at sidde på nakken af folk" mener noget andet, jeg endnu ikke har forstået? --Medic (Lindblad) (diskussion) 19. maj 2018, 11:50 (CEST)

Du læser en personangreb som ikke er det. Den er i hvertfaldt ikke ment som sådan. Jeg mente faktisk at du nok kunne regne ud af at det nok betyder det sammen, bare at jeg ikke huskede den ordret.
 •    Rodejong    _✉️ ^👀 → 19. maj 2018, 12:31 (CEST)

Dine danskkundskaber lader ikke til at være særlig gode, hvis du ikke kan se personangrebet her [38]. - Savfisk (diskussion) 19. maj 2018, 12:42 (CEST)

Du læser hvad du vil læse Savfisk. Jeg kan ikke bestemme hvordan du opfatter det jeg skriver, jeg ved bare hvordan jeg mener det jeg skriver. Mere har jeg ikke at sige om dette emne!
 •    Rodejong    _✉️ ^👀 → 19. maj 2018, 12:47 (CEST)

Medic: Det kan ikke afvises at Rodejong har en forudindtaget negativ holdning til dig (baseret på bastante udtalelser om dit virke på IRC), så derfor nok det meget aggressive svar i første omgang. Det samme gælder sådan set om Savfisk og en række andre brugere (uden at vi skal gå i detaljer).

Savfisk - jeg mener ikke der er personangreb i Rodejongs kommentar - men det er ikke desto mindre en aggressiv tone Rodejong svarer. Jeg tror også det er aggressiviteten i svaret, mere end selve svaret, som Medic tolker som "angreb". Men jeg kan selvfølgelig tage fejl.

Rodejong - selvom jeg finder dine undersættelser ustyrligt morsomme, så vil jeg dog råde dig til enten at få styr på de ordsprog du bruger, eller forklare så venligt som muligt hvad du mener, når en anden bruger spørger hvad det betyder - uafhængigt af hvem der spørger og hvordan der spørges. mvh Tøndemageren (diskussion) 19. maj 2018, 13:54 (CEST)

Hvorfor er det nødvendigt for 3 andre brugere at deltage i en samtale der som udgangspunkt bare var et spørgsmål stillet af én person til en anden? Bevares, jeg har selv gjort det masser af gange, men jeg har på fornemmelsen at man kunne undgå en del fnidderfnadder hvis man bare lod de oprindelige deltagere nå en afslutning. -- InsaneHacker 🕊️ (🗨️) 19. maj 2018, 14:06 (CEST)

Ad InsaneHacker: Du har fuldstændig ret i, at dette er en markant mere omfattende samtale, end havde været nødvendig. Generelt: Jeg stillede det oprindelige spørgsmål, fordi jeg læste to muligheder. Den ene er, at meningen med ordsproget ikke var mig åbenbar, hvorfor jeg søgte at afklare muligheden for misforståelse. Den anden mulighed er, at der blev påpeget en forfølgelseskultur på da.wiki, som er et langt mere alvorligt problem. Inden jeg drager forhastede konklusioner, valgte jeg derfor at spørge og sikre korrekt forståelse. Da vi nu har fået afklaret, at meningen er det sidste, er det værd at have blikket rettet mod forfølgelse på da.wiki, især for at afklare om det gælder hele kulturen eller "blot" enkelte brugere... men dén del hører som sådan ikke hjemme hér, ud over at spørge Rodejong: oplever du forfølgelseskulturen værende almen, eller kommende fra enkelte brugere (navne er her ikke vigtige)? --Medic (Lindblad) (diskussion) 19. maj 2018, 14:38 (CEST)

@InsaneHacker. Hvorfor er det nødvendigt at Rodejong kommer med et nedværdigende svar til Medic fordi han spørger ind til et emne? - Savfisk (diskussion) 19. maj 2018, 14:43 (CEST)

Nu har han sagt at det ikke var ment sådan. Selv hvis vi antager at det var ment som et personangreb, så er Medic mere end i stand til at håndtere den slags selv, sådan tror jeg også selv han opfatter det. Min pointe er at der ret ofte opstår situationer hvor 2-4 personer braser ind i en samtale blandt andre brugere som 9/10 gange blot får samtalen til at blusse op. Det er unødvendigt. -- InsaneHacker 🕊️ (🗨️) 19. maj 2018, 14:56 (CEST)

Og min pointe er at Rodejong opfører sig med foragt overfor mange brugere på wikipedia og det vil jeg ikke bare lade stå til overfor. Og hvorfor skal administratorer stå alene med ustyrlige brugere. Det unødvendige er Rodejongs adfærd, som du understøtter med dine kommentarer. - Savfisk (diskussion) 19. maj 2018, 15:02 (CEST)

Jeg er meget uenig i at jeg understøtter noget som helst, jeg har mange gange mindet Rodejong om retningslinjerne for opførsel. Men jeg mener også at svar på upassende opførsel skal være proportionelle, og det er de ikke når 3 andre brugere går ind i en samtale over én tvetydig kommentar, og hvor den pågældende administrator selv siger at det er unødvendigt. Der er ingen der siger at nogen skal "stå alene", men det er vel ikke noget problem at skrive i AOA eller andetsteds hvis man vil have et par ekstra øjne på. -- InsaneHacker 🕊️ (🗨️) 19. maj 2018, 15:07 (CEST)

Det her er eksakt det problem jeg hentydede til. Så snart der er en hund der går til angreb, så kommer hele flokken for at bistå den. Nogle administratorer har samme opførsel.

Jeg synes at du lige skal skrive den besked til dig selv i form af: "I stedet for at holde mig beskæftiget med noget andet, burde jeg ofre ti minutter eller deromkring på selv at rydde op i mine copyvio-artikler, i stedet for at andre skal arbejde skal gennemgå min lort jeg har lavet". Og når du så er færdig med det projekt, har du måske mere ret at komme her for at i rettesætte mig for et arbejde der desværre er nødvendigt!
 •    Rodejong    _✉️ ^👀 → 21. maj 2018, 11:25 (CEST)

Det er ikke et "arbejde" at plastre hele projektet til med røde skabeloner. Det er et arbejde at rydde op, og at lade være med at provokere os, der faktisk har gjort en indsats. Men dit mål er måske, at dawiki skal blive forringet ved at fjerne flest mulige artikler og/eller plastres til med negativ propaganda? Hvis du fortsætter på den måde, vil vi snart have tusindvis af sådanne skabeloner. Rmir2 (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 11:33 (CEST)

Det er først og fremmest et markeringsarbejde. Alle de artikler markeres som CopyVio. Disse artikler skal omskrives, som jeg i nogle tilfælder også har gjort, men af andre artikler har jeg ikke kundskab nok eller forståelse nok, så må en anden gør det, for eksempel dig! Du har åbenbart helt opgivet at rydde op.

 •    Rodejong    _✉️ ^👀 → 21. maj 2018, 11:42 (CEST)

Fat mod, Rodejong. Administratorerne (et segment af dem) har forlængst besluttet at frede Rmir2 uanset hans handlinger og plagiat. Dette indebærer også at man blokerer kritikere. Der er ikke noget at gøre medmindre Rmir besinder sig og beslutter at rydde op i sit arbejde. Utroligt at han ikke knokler mere med oprydningen, for her er virkelig en god chance for at vinde respekten tilbage blandt alle. Jeg bliver sikkert også blokeret for dette indlæg. --Arvid-S (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 13:07 (CEST)

Om blokeringen

Til Rodejong: Du bør afholde dig af at bruge ukvemsord.

Til administratorerne. Jeg synes at der bør tages let på at Rodejong forløber sig. Jeg antager at det skyldes arrogante og nedladende adfærd som Rmir2 får lov til at udøve uden indblanding fra administratorerne. Rmir2 forventer at han kan gøre som det passer ham og at alle andre skal skrive artikler om de emner han har copy-paste't.

Rmir 2 skriver ovenfor:

"at provokere os, der faktisk har gjort en indsats."

Rmir2 fortsætter sin arrogante fremstilling af sig selv, som havende gjort en stor indsats ved sine copy-paste-redigeringer, på trods af at det er noget der nu dræner Wikipedia for redigeringskræfter og skaber en masse konflikter.

Rmir 2 skriver ovenfor:

"Men dit mål er måske, at dawiki skal blive forringet ved at fjerne flest mulige artikler og/eller plastres til med negativ propaganda? Hvis du fortsætter på den måde, vil vi snart have tusindvis af sådanne skabeloner."

"Tusindevis" passer efter min vurdering godt med antallet af tekster Rmir2 har copy-paste't ind i Wikipedia.

Jeg synes at blokeringen bør ophæves, og fredningen af Rmir2 ligeså.

Jeg kunne godt tænke mig at vide hvad administratorerne vil gøre ved de 16 artikler, der i skrivende stund er markeret med {{copyvio}}. --Madglad (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 17:14 (CEST)

@Madglad: Det er ikke administratorernes problem, at der er copyvio. Det er alle brugeres problem. Det er derfor alle dawps konstruktive brugere, der har et problem. Og i den forbindelse ville det være dejligt, hvis du selv gik forrest og tog fat på at løse problemet frem for eksklusivt at levere bidrag på diverse diskussionssider. --Pugilist (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 17:21 (CEST)

Rmir2 er i mange sammenhænge en problematisk bruger, men han er ikke fredet, - til gengæld har han krav på en vis beskyttelse mod at blive gjort til generel syndebuk i forbindelse med en tidligere praksis, vi har haft på da.wiki. At vi ikke har tjekket projekt Runebergs generelle PD på Salmonsens bør ikke ligge en enkelt bruger til last, og vi har ikke en praksis der tillader andre brugere at diktere hvilke redigeringer en bruger skal foretage; Det er et frivilligt projekt. - Nico (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 17:49 (CEST)

@Pugilist: Du skriver til mig: "du selv gik forrest og tog fat på at løse problemet" - hvad foreslår du, jeg gør? Jeg synes egentligt at copyvio-skabelonen lægger op til at artiklen skal slettes, men det kan kun administratorer. Jeg skal da gerne tømme artiklerne for ophavsretskrænkelser, men jeg synes selv at ophavsretskrænkeren/-ne skal rydde op efter sig selv. Det kan man jo nemt gøre ved at tømme artiklen for tekst og skifte {{copyvio}} ud med {{fejloprettelse}}, som er en anden sletteskabelon. Men det er stadig en administrator, der skal ind og slette, så det kan en administrator jo lige så godt gøre først som sidst. --Madglad (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 18:02 (CEST)

F.eks. sådan. --Pugilist (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 18:08 (CEST)

Det er et absurd forslag, Pugilist. Du lægger at til Rmir2 skal diktere, hvilke emner andre wikipedianere skal have en viden om, og lyst til at skrive om. Det drejer sig om at fjerne ophavsretsskrænkelser, ikke om at give Rmir2 frikort til at diktere, hvad andre wikipedianere skal interessere sig for, og have tid til, at skrive om. --Madglad (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 18:17 (CEST)

@Madglad: Kan du ikke lide svarene, så undlad at stille spørgsmålene. At mit svar (som ikke er et forslag) skulle lægge an til, at Rmir2 skal diktere osv. osv. er en stråmand. --Pugilist (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 18:24 (CEST)

@Pugilist: Prøv at læse notitsen over redigeringsvinduet, når du redigerer dit svar: "Indhold, der overtræder en hvilken som helst ophavsret, vil blive slettet." Ser du noget som helst i notitsen om at man er forpligtet til at erstatte det krænkede materiale med nyt? Da det som regel er hele artiklen, der skal fjernes er det en administratoropgave. --Madglad (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 18:32 (CEST)

@Madglad: Jeg er bekendt med, hvad der står i redigeringsvinduet, tak. Det er korrekt, at der ikke står noget om, at "man" er forpligtet til at erstatte copyvio med nyt, men det er heller ikke et synspunkt, som jeg har forfægtet, hvorfor det er en stråmand. Jeg har opfordret dig til at gøre noget konkret for at løse problemet; ikke pålagt dig at gøre det. --Pugilist (diskussion) 21. maj 2018, 19:06 (CEST)

Konstatering

Jeg er blokeret efter jeg giver modsvar til en bruger der kommer med en provokation. En bruger der mener at han skal bestemme hvad jeg skal holde mig beskæftiget til. Rmir skriver:

	I stedet for at plastre hele projektet til med sletteforslagsskabeloner burde du ofre ti minutter eller deromkring på selv at rette en artikel til, så at problemet forsvinder.

Hvis du fortsætter på den måde, vil vi snart have tusindvis af sådanne skabeloner.

Markeringer er mine. Jeg har gjort min arbejde ved at undersøge de artikler der er afskrevet fra Salmonsens, som er forfattet af Laust Moltensen. Så jeg gik ikke efter Rmir (faktisk var det artikler skrevet af PHansen og Tostapardius. Så det havde intet med Rmir2 at gør. At han efterfølgende kommer til mig for at belære mig (burde du) at jeg ikke skal plastre Wikipedia til med sletteskabeloner, er ren provokation. Det er netop det arbejde der er vigtigt for at markere hvilke artikler der har problemer. At kalde det spild af tid, er rent provokation, ligesom han kalder min opførsel spild af tid er rent provokation.

At sige at jeg skal bruge 10 minutter at selv rette op på de artikler... tja ... jeg skal have kundskab om noget, eller i det mindste kunne forstå hvad jeg læser. Men jeg bruger hver dag tid på at rette op på artikler. Ja faktisk skriver eller oversætter jeg netop artikler hver uge! SÅ jeg er ikke en bruger der aldrig skriver noget. Igen, rent provokation.

Han beskylder mig for måske at ville forringe Wikipedia. Og negativ propaganda? Jeg er såret til benet. Et stik i ryggen på den meget aktive indsats jeg har udvist. Hvad har Rmir gjort for at rydde op? Han har modarbejdet alt hvad han kunne for at artiklerne ikke blev slettet. Men han er stadig ikke enig i at det er vigtiger at beskytte Wikipedias kvalitet end at have kvantitet! Jeg opfatter Rmir2's opførsel her på min diskussionsside som rent provokation, og det er derpå jeg reagerer.

Men det er nu tydeligt for alle at man åbenbart uden nogen form for konsekvenser må provokere folk. Rmir har bevist at han kan sige og gør hvad han har lyst til. Rmir2 er fredet. Ja jeg læser at vi skal tage hensyn til ham! HVAD?? Manden skulle have blive bandlyst, men nej, brugere som Savfisk, Nico og Pugilist (Ja netop de tre der stemte imod) viser sig konstant på min diskussionsside, eller på chat, eller andre steder på Wikipedia med deres forindtaget had mod mig!

Jeg har i de sidste uger (måneder) kæmpet for at få jer alle til at forstå hvor alvorlig et problem det her er. Men nej! Det er mej der er blokeret for at have "en tone" eller bruger "et ord" som i ikke kan lide. I stedet for at I koncentrerer jer på de vigtigere problemer (som I jo IKKE deltager i) går i hellere efter den bruger der ufortrødent kæmper for at rydde op i en kæmpe problem der er skabt af flere brugere (og nej, jeg har aldrig sagt at de gjorde i ondt tro). Hvad er vigtigst for jer?

Rmir2 har "lovet" at han ville fokusere på oprydningen. Når en bruger lover det, så skal I holde ham til det. Men nej, han gøre alt andet end det han har lovet, som også kommer til udtryk i Ramlosers analyse. Rmir kom til mig for at fortælle hvad jeg skal gøre. Det har han åbenbart ret til. For når jeg fortæller ham hvad han burde gøre, får jeg påtalt at jeg ikke kan bestemme hvad andre brugere gør. Det er ikke første gang at administratorerne måler med to målestok.

Jeg synes at jeres opførsel som administratorer er dybt forkastelig, og mener at i burde fralægge jeres værktøj, for i er ikke i stand til at tage neutrale beslutninger, men reagerer ud fra jeres egne emotionelle tilstand - jeres had mod mig! Desuden er Pugilists forslag for at blokere mig i 3, 6 eller 12 måneder ud af hampen. Det hører ingen steder til.

Jeg kræver min blokade ophavet!

Jeg tager det som provokation, da jeg ikke kan rette det tilbage, og at det derfor bevidst er til at provokere mig. Desuden fjerner han igen en Copyvioskabelon, og det er netop ikke ham der kan vurdere om noget er omskrevet eller ej. For det er det nemlig ikke.

1. Jeg er (blevet) fuldt bevidst om et problem, som ingen var klar over for tre måneder siden (den gang talte vi om "forældet" info, ikke om ophavsretsproblemer). Jeg har siden da erkendt min del af ansvaret for dette problem og taget fat om at løse det (modsat andre, som desværre blot har vendt projektet ryggen).
2. En række artikler er allerede klaret og flere venter på en uafhængig vurdering af min indsats på oprydningsområdet,
3. men selvom vurderingen er, at der stadig er enkelte sætninger i en flere sider lang tekst, som nogen vil karakterisere som havende ophavsretsproblemer,
4. så betyder det alligevel, at 90-95% af problemet er løst, og mon så ikke andre bidragydere får klaret de sidste 5-10% de mener, at der er?
5. Der er andre såkaldte "bidragydere", hvis tilgang til tingene heller ikke har ændret sig, og hvis bidrag alene består i at klistre advarselsskabeloner på artikler, at foreslå, at flere tusinde artikler skal slettes samt at fylde uanede mængder af ord på diskussionssider, men som ikke selv drømmer om at bidrage positivt til projektet, end ikke med at bekæmpe hærværk.

”

1. Det er fint at han erkender at han var med til at skabe et problem, og vil løse det.
2. Giver samtidig en snær mod Urbandweller, PHansen og Tostapardius at de har forladt Wikipedia, og fremstiller sig selv dermed bedre end dem.
3. Enkelte sætninger? Rmir forstår stadig ikke at ingen sætninger må copy/pastes, med mindre de er sat ind imellem "gåseøjne" og direkte efterfølges af kildehenvisning(er/n).
4. 90%-95%? Hvor baserer han det på? De 150 artikler fra Ramloser? Alle artikler? Hvad baserer han det på?
5. Så kommer der igen personangreb mod Madglad og mig. Selvom der ikke er nævnt navne, så gentager han de sætninger som han tidligere har svinet os til. Men det er ikke engang rigtigt. Jeg har selv omskrevet artikler, og det ved han også godt. Jeg bekæmper til dagligt hærværk, og selvom der diskuteres meget af Madglad og mig, hvad forskel er det mellem os og ham selv som er kendt for at fylde en masse af tekst på diskussionssider?

Tøndemageren har ret, når han så efterfølgende skriver: "Først og fremmest, så vil jeg henvise dig til #Om andre brugeres motiver. Det handler ikke om andre brugere, det handler ene og alene om dig Rmir2, så stop med at brug så meget tid på hvad andre gør. De rettelser du har lavet, hvor du har rettet til 100% viser meget klart, at der stadig er et stykke vej til du har forståelse for selve problemet og hvordan det rettes. Jeg har sagt det før, og siger det gerne igen - prøv nu at se indad. Du beskriver dig selv som stort set værende fejlfri (hvilket opfattes som om det også er din selvopfattelse) - det er simpelthen problematisk."

Jeg fatter ikke at Rmir2 kan få lov til at blive ved, og ved, og ved, og ved, uden nogen form for konsekvenser. I det hele taget har Rmir ikke gjort noget som helst oprydningsarbejde siden bandlysnings-afstemningens-afslutning, indtil jeg blev blokeret nu. Han har udelukkende redigeret på andre områder end det han blev bedt om at fokusere på. Har fået den ene henstilling efter den anden. De fleste erkender at Rmir2s holdninger er problematiske, men hvad afholder administratorer fra at gribe til værktøjet og at give ham tankepauser? Hvornår begynder Rmir at forstå at det er ham der er problemet her, og ikke det arbejde jeg laver med at finde frem til Copyvio, og at markere det som sådan?

Hvor længe skal vi andre modtage den ene provokation efter den anden, uden at det får konsekvenser? Vi må ikke reagere irriteret på ham, for så kommer der en blokade - ja jeg ved godt at jeg kunne formulere mig anderledes - men jeg mener helt bestemt at der efterhånden skal indskærpes overfor Rmir2s utallige provokationer mod Madglad og mig!

Kære Rodejong. Selvom det er fantastisk at du fanger Rmir2s fjernelse af skabeloner, så har du pt. fået en pause. Alligevel prøver du at påvirke virket her på da.wiki - faktisk samtidig med at en AOA peger mod at forlænge din nuværende pause til 6 måneder. Det smarteste at gøre i din situation er at holde lav profil - hvilket kort sagt betyder at du heller ikke skal redigerer her på denne side, for at påvirke hvad der sker andre steder. Fortsætter dette starter din pause forfra og dine redigeringsrettigheder for denne side inddrages. mvh Tøndemageren (diskussion) 23. maj 2018, 11:09 (CEST)

Blokering forlænget

Du er formentlig bekendt med, at din blokering er blevet forlænget efter en drøftelse, men for en ordens skyld orienteres du også her.

Som du ser, er der under diskussionen fra fleres side peget på, at din adfærd på Wikipedia generelt er problematisk, og at du - trods det betydelige antal blokeringer og det massive antal advarsler - ikke ser ud til at ændre adfærd. Tværtimod har du ved en række lejligheder tilkendegivet, at du ikke agter at ændre din adfærd.

Jeg synes derfor, at du bør overveje, om dansk Wikipedia passer til dit temperament. Du har ved flere lejligheder udtalt dig stærkt kritisk over for dansk Wikipedia og dansk Wikipedias brugere og ikke mindst dets administratorer. Det kan være du har ret, men uanset om din vurdering er rigtig eller forkert, så forekommer det mig, at dawp og du ikke er et godt match. Det tror jeg også, at du er enig i, da du udover dine stærkt kritiske bemærkninger om dawp's brugere også ofte anvender en terminologi med "jer" mod "mig", ligesom du tilsyneladende ofte føler dig personligt provokeret. Kommer du tilbage efter blokeringen i samme spor, er det min forventning, at der forholdsvist hurtigt vil komme en bandlysning på tale. Da du har tilkendegivet, at du ikke vil ændre spor, så er spørgsmålet, om ikke din arbejdsiver og energi vil komme bedre til udtryk på anden måde. Wikisoftwaren har mange muligheder, og du kan bruge energien på at skabe din egen encyklopædi, hvor der ikke vil være indblanding fra andre, eller hvor du vil kunne skabe et community, som du i højere grad vil kunne skabe noget med i fællesskab med ligesindede.

Nærværende opfordring til at overveje din fremtid på dawp er ikke et diskussionsoplæg, men derimod hvad det er: Nemlig en opfordring til at overveje din fremtid på dawp. --Pugilist (diskussion) 24. maj 2018, 22:29 (CEST)

Tak fordi du sendte en TAK! til mig for DENNE REDIGERING!
 •    Rodejong    _✉️ ^👀 → 24. maj 2018, 23:18 (CEST)

Bruger:Ramloser

Glem venligst ikke at fjerne mig fra din liste. Desværre har jeg ikke mulighed mere for at deltage! Jeg ønsker dig mod og visdom mod denne gruppe administratorer der mener at man ved magt skal anvende alle kneb for at holde andre under tommelfingeren.

Jenteloven leve længe! Hurra! Hurra! Hurra! Hurrraaaaaaaaa!

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. [39]
• 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. [40]
• All wikis now use the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy. This could cause errors. You can help fix the errors. [41]

Problems

• When you rolled back an edit it could get both the Rollback and Undo tags. This has been fixed. [42]
• Rollbacks from autopatrolled users were not marked as patrolled. This has been fixed. [43]

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). [44][45]
• 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. [46]
• 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. [47]
• Structured discussions toolbars will have more style options. [48]
• 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. [49]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 July. It will be on all wikis from 12 July (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 July 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 July 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. [50]
• Page previews will be on by default for new accounts. [51]

Problems

Afstemning om bandlysning

For en god ordens skyld vil jeg meddele dig at jeg har oprettet en afstemning om bandlysning. - Savfisk (diskussion) 26. sep 2018, 18:07 (CEST)

Jeg har midlertidigt ophævet din blokering jf. Wikipedia:Politik for blokering og bandlysning#Midlertidig ophævelse af blokeringer. Den midlertidige ophævelses formål er at gøre det muligt for dig at deltage i diskussionen om din bandlysning, så enhver form for redigering udenfor afstemningssiden før din blokering ellers ville være udløbet (24 Nov 2018 20:59:58 GMT) vil medføre en genblokering og en forspildelse af din mulighed for at deltage. -- InsaneHacker 🕊️ (🗨️) 26. sep 2018, 19:36 (CEST)

Tech News: 2018-40

Seneste udgave af de tekniske nyheder fra Wikimedias tekniske fællesskab. Fortæl venligst andre brugere om disse ændringer. Ikke alle ændringer vil påvirke dig. Oversættelser er tilgængelige.

Seneste ændringer

• Almindelige sider kan ikke længere blive indlæst som javascript. Dette kunne gøres ved at tilføje ?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript i URL'en. Kun fuldt beskyttede sider i MediaWiki: navnerum eller bruger javascript undersider kan nu blive indlæst som javascript. Dette er for sikkerhedens skyld. [98][99]

Problemer

• Nye og opdaterede oversættelser fra translatewiki.net vil ikke nå ud til wikier i noget tid. Du kan stadigvæk oversætte beskeder på translatewiki.net. Wikimedia wikierne vil blive opdateret med de nye oversættelser senere. Dette skyldes, at der arbejdes på oversættelsessystemet. [100][101]

Ændringer senere på ugen

• Den nye version af MediaWiki vil være på test wikier og MediaWiki.org fra 2 oktober. Den vil være på ikke.wikier og nogle Wikipediaere fra 3 oktober. Den vil være på alle wikier fra 4 oktober (kalender).

Møder

• Du kan deltage i det tekniske råd møde på IRC. Under mødet kan frivillige udviklere spørge om råd. Mødet vil foregå den 3 oktober kl 15:00 (UTC). Se hvordan du deltager.
• Du kan tage del i IRC-møde med utvecklarna som arbejder med søgning funktionen. Det kommer at landejendom værelse 3 oktober klokken 15:00 UTC (17:00 i Sverige, 18:00 i Finland). Læs mere om hvordan du kan deltage hvis du vil vide mere eller har spørgsmål om søgning funktionen.

Fremtidige ændringer

• På grund af en data center test vil du være i stand til at læse men ikke redigere på wikier i op til en time den 10. oktober. Dette vil starte kl. 14:00 (UTC). Du kan miste nogle redigeringer hvis du prøver at gemme i dette tidsrum. Det tidsrum hvor du ikke kan redigere kan være kortere end en time. Du kan læse mere om det her.

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!
