TAFI's List of articles
- Hello K6ka:
- A discussion is occurring at the TAFI talk page regarding potential changes to the project's List of articles page. Your input is welcome at the discussion.
I would like my username changed
I would like my username changed to Dell_the_Engie please. --Amish Paradise (talk) 17:15, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Amish Paradise: Requests to have your username changed should go on Special:GlobalRenameRequest or WP:Changing username. I don't process requests made on my talk page, sorry. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 18:28, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Huggle inserting wrong date heading
See [1]. I'm guessing your computer's system time is set to sometime in July and not August. — MusikAnimal talk 19:26, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
- @MusikAnimal: Yep, sadly it is. The laptop I was using to make that edit belongs to my school so I don't have much control over it. For some reason the clock broke after DST, and every time I boot up the computer it flips the clock back one hour. I sadly can't change the clock without the admin password, so unfortunately I'll just have to wait for my laptop to realize that it's August. I do have other computers that do have the correct time and date, but they're slower, so I don't usually use them for recent changes patrolling. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 19:34, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
- Not a big deal! I'm pretty sure Huggle can still register the last level warning and act accordingly, it's merely the heading that's wrong :) Cheers — MusikAnimal talk 19:37, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
- Not in my experience. Huggle would look at my computer's date and time and get confused when it's earlier than the date and time of the revision I reverted, so it would refuse to warn the user no matter what. I often had to go and use Twinkle to warn the user, which resulted in erroneous date headings. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 19:52, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
- Not a big deal! I'm pretty sure Huggle can still register the last level warning and act accordingly, it's merely the heading that's wrong :) Cheers — MusikAnimal talk 19:37, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

VisualEditor News #4—2015
Read this in another language • Local subscription list • Subscribe to the multilingual edition
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team have been working on mobile phone support. They have fixed many bugs and improved language support. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving language support and functionality on mobile devices.
Wikimania
The team attended Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City. There they participated in the Hackathon and met with individuals and groups of users. They also made several presentations about VisualEditor and the future of editing.
Following Wikimania, we announced winners for the VisualEditor 2015 Translathon. Our thanks and congratulations to users Halan-tul, Renessaince, जनक राज भट्ट (Janak Bhatta), Vahe Gharakhanyan, Warrakkk, and Eduardogobi.
For interface messages (translated at translatewiki.net), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (+21.7%). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).
For documentation messages (on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (+20.3%). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).
We published some graphs showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. Thank you to the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.
Recent improvements
Auto-fill features for citations can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the citoid service to convert a URL or DOI into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, simple process at mediawiki.org. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the instructions at mediawiki.org.
Your wiki can customize the first section of the special character inserter in VisualEditor. Please follow the instructions at mediawiki.org to put the characters you want at the top.
In other changes, if you need to fill in a CAPTCHA and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit Vega-based graphs. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.
Future changes
The team will be changing the appearance of selected links inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A recent controlled trial showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.
Let's work together
- Share your ideas and ask questions at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.
- Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test if you can help.
- If your wiki would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace, you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
- Please file requests for language-appropriate "Bold" and "Italic" icons for the styling menu in Phabricator.
- The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.
- The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.
