Today's motto...

GFDL

I've undone this edit to madam bot's exclude list. Sites now need to be licensed under CC-BY-SA (and optionally GFDL as well) and GFDL by itself is no longer enough. See Wikipedia:Licensing update#Content restrictions - I'm sure this has been documented somewhere better but as per usual tying to find it is difficult (Wikipedia's help/information system is atrocious and must be a nightmare for new users but that's a discussion for another day).

Support request with team editing experiment project

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Duplicate parameter args

Could you add support for mask1=, mask2=, mask3=, ... in [1] for parsing User:HBC Archive Indexerbot/OptIn transclusions? it looks like you could accomplish this with a simple regexp replace before the arg parsing to replace 'mask[%d]=' with 'mask='. this will allow the removal of a bunch of pages from Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls. thank you.

Request: Speed up the GA oldid adding function

The edit category GA without oldid is getting large. Could you check to make sure the bot is still updating these articles, and if possible speed up the function to clean out the category? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onegoofy (talk • contribs) 02:45, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

It's borked :/. I'll do some debugging of it later. 76.254.58.111 (talk) 18:26, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Ok, working now. It's running on my laptop for now and tomorrow I'll fix it on tool labs. 76.254.58.111 (talk) 06:54, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Tech News: 2015-20

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 make charts and maps on your wiki with the new "graph" tool. If you have an old browser, you will see images instead. It uses a tool called Vega; you can learn how to use it and write help pages for your wiki. You can use the Vega edit tool to make charts and copy the code to your wiki. Charts and maps use complex code and you should put them into templates. In the future, you will be able to create charts with VisualEditor. [2] [3] [4]
• You can apply for technical jobs to develop tools for the community. [5]
• The logos of all wikis are now in a new place. It will make pages load faster. You can still ask to change the logo. You can also use local CSS for brief changes. [6] [7]

Problems

• There was a problem that caused slow editing. [8]
• Pages were sometimes removed from your watchlist in VisualEditor. This problem is now fixed. [9]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since May 6. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from May 12. It will be on all Wikipedias from May 13 (calendar).
• You can now use data from Wikidata on more pages. The page doesn't need to be linked to the Wikidata item. It works on a few wikis and more wikis will be added soon. [10] [11]
• You should get fewer errors when you add files to Commons. [12]
• When you use an external link to link to a wiki page, VisualEditor now converts it to a wiki link. [13]
• When you add a link in VisualEditor, you see pages that match what you type. It is now easier to see where they match. [14]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs are the most important. The meeting will be on May 13 at 18:00 (UTC). See how to join.

GA Cup

Hey Legoktm, I was wondering if you could do something for me. Would you be able to add a task to Legobot to help us with the GA Cup. It shouldn't be a lot of work (probably the same amount of code as when you added the task for the Recruitment Center). If you have the time/interested I'll give you more details. It would be greatly apprecited. The first GA Cup was a success and we are hoping for it to become bigger this year! :) --Dom497 (talk) 23:01, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
