Tech News: 2024-37

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

Feature news

• Starting this week, the standard syntax highlighter will receive new colors that make them compatible in dark mode. This is the first of many changes to come as part of a major upgrade to syntax highlighting. You can learn more about what's to come on the help page. [1][2]
• Editors of wikis using Wikidata will now be notified of only relevant Wikidata changes in their watchlist. This is because the Lua functions entity:getSitelink() and mw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid) will have their logic unified for tracking different aspects of sitelinks to reduce junk notifications from inconsistent sitelinks tracking. [3]

Project updates

• Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [4]
• Contributors of 11 Wikipedias, including English will have a new MOS namespace added to their Wikipedias. This improvement ensures that links beginning with MOS: (usually shortcuts to the Manual of Style) are not broken by Mooré Wikipedia (language code mos). [5]

Ediciones injustificadas

Buenas noches. Estamos acostumbrados a que algunos editores con decenas de miles de ediciones realicen borrados y plantillados equivocados o, al menos, en los que otros editores con miles de ediciones y criterios muy cuidados tenemos otro punto de vista. Estos editores no ofrecen discusiones ni están dispuestos a dialogar para evaluar diferentes puntos de vista. Les paso un caso menor para que juzguen y me den su opinión. En el artículo siguiente, Pensamiento_Latinoamericano_en_Ciencia,_Tecnología_y_Desarrollo el colega LMLM eliminó un texto y una referencia con una justificación mal redactada e inentendible ("No en esta fuente") y luego sugirió plagio o violación de los derechos de autor ("referenciar no da derecho a copiar, violación de derechos de autor de la fuente"). Me tomé el trabajo de comparar el texto del artículo con el disponible en la referencia citada, y hay una coincidencia del 3,8% con el sitio en general y del 23,1 (plagio improbable) con la página de la misma biblioteca, por lo que no hay tal violación de los derechos de autor. Enlace permanente de la indagación en Copivio Detector: https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=es&project=wikipedia&oldid=162380711&action=compare&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbackend.710302.xyz%3A443%2Fhttps%2Fblogs.ead.unlp.edu.ar%2Fcatedracps%2Fbiblioteca-placted%2F Considero esta acción como un atropello. En ningún orden de la vida tolero actitudes así en mi contra. Entiendo que en este entorno, unidos por la causa del conocimiento libre, es menos tolerable aún un comportamiento de este tipo. Agradezco sus opiniones. Saludos! FMA (discusión) 23:25 10 sep 2024 (UTC)

Con permiso. Te doy la razón en el problema general, pero niego que este sea uno de esos casos. Es una infracción a los derechos de autor: tras la ref se toma la oración que en el sitoo referenciado empieza con "Este" y termina con "tecnológicas" y se crea una especie de sándwich del texto original con una frase intercalada que no deja de ser lo mismo que decía en la página. No me parece para nada que eso sea redactar por cuenta propia un texto a partir de lo que uno leyó en ese sitio. Saludos. Lin linao ¿dime? 00:13 11 sep 2024 (UTC)

Buenas, FMA. Si te refieres a esta edición concuerdo con Lin linao, el compañero LMLM lo hizo correctamente. En la referencia que eliminó no ponía nada de lo que se supone que estaba referenciando, es lógico que la quitase. Además el texto que eliminó es una copia casi literal de lo que venía en la referencia, e irónicamente, esa parte no estaba puesta como referenciada. No veo cómo se puede calificar esto como atropello. Saludos, Ignoratum 17:02 11 sep 2024 (UTC)

Parece una edición correcta por parte del colega LMLM. Efectivamente, parece tratarse de una violación de los derechos de autor (un copypaste de una fuente con copyright) y, además, la referencia está mal puesta (esto quizás es lo de menos, pero si lo único que referencia es una frase que no ha de estar por copyvio, tampoco pinta mucho). Es una lástima que te sientas atropellado (lo ideal sería que nunca nos sintiéramos así colaborando aquí), pero piensa que Wikipedia también podría haberse sentido (si la enciclopedia sintiera cosas) atropellada por tu edición. Saludos. strakhov (discusión) 17:44 11 sep 2024 (UTC)

Por otra parte este hilo pinta menos que nada en esta sección del Café (Técnica). Un saludo. strakhov (discusión) 17:46 11 sep 2024 (UTC)

Strakhov, no me queda claro adónde consultar por este tipo de situaciones. Si no recibimos atención de los bibliotecarios, quedamos desprotegidos de un conjunto de editores con muchas ediciones actúan de modo precipitado y grupal (aparecen los mismos siempre, unos borran y otros intervienen en las discusiones), un tanto irrespetuoso, plantillando y borrando rápidamente artículos que sin lugar a dudas tienen relevancia enciclopédica y referencias que lo comprueban. Me hago cargo del sin lugar a dudas, que está fundamentado en una larga trayectoria científica y docente y una respetable trayectoria como científico editando Wikipedi.

Observo una actitud atropellada sin capacidad de juzgar la relevancias de las referencias, usualmente subvaloradas por desconocimiento, especialmente si se trata de usuarios ibéricos y referencias originadas en América Latina. Algunos podrán pensar que lo mío es una reacción exagerada pero le aseguro que se trata de una evaluación desapasionada y reúne experiencias de muchos Wikimedistas a lo largo ya de varios años. Prejuicios tenemos todos, pero no solemos tener la capacidad de detectarlos: quienes están en una cara de la moneda no pueden ver lo que hay en la otra. Observo también un problema epistemológico aparentemente, varios de los que objetan ediciones tienen una mirada del conocimiento como descubrimiento de una verdad única, usualmente atada a prejuicios que ubican al conocimiento proveniente de los países dominantes como lo más cercano a dicha verdad. Y quienes conocemos la historia del conocimiento y nos informamos acerca de las posturas del movimiento del conocimiento libre sabemos que no es así, ni de cerca. En fin... quisiera expresar que en nuestras tareas buscamos reclutar wikimedistas de la academia y los borrados injustificados nos hacen muy difícil la tarea. Las plantillas de consultas de borrado son mucho más útiles, y no me explico por qué no las usan. Pongo como referencia el borrado del artículo de la académica Léa Velho, inicialmente injustificado y luego borrado por error: increíblemente lo borraron pensando que se trataba del mismo artículo pero era una versión muy diferente y aún mucho más justificada. ¿Qué hacemos cuando un colega se equivoca? ¿Adónde acudimos cuando un bibliotecario se equivoca? Si no nos escuchan, están condenando la Wikipedia a una decadencia lenta y una caducidad asegurada. Como soy optimista, sigo luchando, pero necesito un poco de ayuda. Gracias. Saludos, FMA (discusión) 01:30 19 sep 2024 (UTC)

Pues me parece preocupante que a pesar de su "respetable trayectoria como científico editando Wikipedia" [sic] por una parte vaya haciendo copypaste de textos protegidos y encima lo defienda y por el otro no sea capaz de detectar que Café/Técnica es para cuestiones... técnicas (código, plantillas, bugs, etc) y no para quejas lastimeras (el lugar más ortodoxo para ellas, pero no el único, es el de Café/Misceánea). Por lo que veo ha decidido centrar su colaboración en Wikipedia [6], [7] en una especie de batalla étnica contra "los ibéricos/europeos/españoles" y no desperdicia oportunidad para seguir con su runrún. Suerte con ello. Espero que sus experiencias le den para redactar el bonito ensayo que ya tenía Vd. escrito de antemano en su cabeza (¡no lo leeré!). Saludos. strakhov (discusión) 01:59 19 sep 2024 (UTC)

Gracias Ignoratum por revisar el caso. Por una parte, el contenido del texto correspondía a la referencia y no existe plagio, ya que la mayor parte del texto coincidente corresponde al nombre del movimiento y a una enumeración (por favor ver el comentario anterior). Aguardo una respuesta a este mensajes. Saludos! FMA (discusión) 01:08 19 sep 2024 (UTC)

Gracias Lin Linao por analizar el caso. Recién tengo tiempo de revisarlo, y la fracción de texto idéntico corresponde al nombre de la escuela de penasamiento (que es larga y por eso coinciden tantas palabras) y a una enumeración de posibles aplicaciones cuyo parafraseo no es necesario (alterar el orden no cambia las palabras utilizadas). He explicado el tema en la discusión del artículo. FMA (discusión) 01:05 19 sep 2024 (UTC)

Según el historial, era una claro plagio y @Lin linao hizo bien en retirarlo. ¿Qué hacemos cuando un colega se equivoca? decirle que lo reconozca y pida disculpas. La única edición injustificada que veo es esta y el mensaje poco amable al comienzo de este hilo. Creo que FMA debería pedir disculpas por su exabrupto al acusar a LMLM de un atropello o a la Wikipedia de una decadencia lenta y una caducidad asegurada y por su actitud atropellada al hacer acusaciones sin fundamento.--Kabatzim (discusión) 03:41 20 sep 2024 (UTC)

Anular parámetro |familia= de {{ficha de persona}}

¿Alguien sabe cuál es el nombre del parámetro que se muestra como familia en la {{ficha de persona}}? No consigo dar con él (o al menos no me funciona el socorrido |familia=no}} con él). strakhov (discusión) 17:50 13 sep 2024 (UTC)

@Strakhov, ese campo no tenía parámetro local y se tomaba únicamente de la propiedad familia (P53) de Wikidata siempre que existiese. -- Leoncastro (discusión) 18:29 13 sep 2024 (UTC)

¡Gracias por incorporarlo como parámetro local! strakhov (discusión) 18:39 13 sep 2024 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #645

Tool of the week

• User:Lagewi/references.js - "Sometimes, the data on Wikidata does not answer all your questions. Some types of information are difficult to encode in statements, or simply has not been encoded on Wikidata yet. In such cases, it might be useful to go through the references attached to claims of the entity, for additional information. To simplify this process, this user script lists all unique references based on stated in (P248) and reference URL (P854). The references are listed in a collapsible list below the table of labels and descriptions, collapsed by default to not be obtrusive." To enable it, include the following line in your common.js: mw.loader.load('//www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lagewi/references.js&oldid=2039248554&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

Tech News: 2024-38

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

Improvements and Maintenance

• Editors interested in templates can help by reading the latest Wishlist focus area, Template recall and discovery, and share your feedback on the talkpage. This input helps the Community Tech team to decide the right technical approach to build. Everyone is also encouraged to continue adding new wishes.
• The new automated Especial:NamespaceInfo page helps editors understand which namespaces exist on each wiki, and some details about how they are configured. Thanks to DannyS712 for these improvements. [8]
• References Check is a feature that encourages editors to add a citation when they add a new paragraph to a Wikipedia article. For a short time, the corresponding tag "Edit Check (references) activated" was erroneously being applied to some edits outside of the main namespace. This has been fixed. [9]
• It is now possible for a wiki community to change the order in which a page’s categories are displayed on their wiki. By default, categories are displayed in the order they appear in the wikitext. Now, wikis with a consensus to do so can request a configuration change to display them in alphabetical order. [10]
• Tool authors can now access ToolsDB's public databases from both Quarry and Superset. Those databases have always been accessible to every Toolforge user, but they are now more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account. In addition, Quarry's internal database can now be queried from Quarry itself. This database contains information about all queries that are being run and starred by users in Quarry. This information was already public through the web interface, but you can now query it using SQL. You can read more about that, and 20 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
• Any pages or tools that still use the very old CSS classes mw-message-box need to be updated. These old classes will be removed next week or soon afterwards. Editors can use a global-search to determine what needs to be changed. It is possible to use the newer cdx-message group of classes as a replacement (see the relevant Codex documentation, and an example update), but using locally defined onwiki classes would be best. [11]

Technical project updates

• Next week, all Wikimedia wikis will be read-only for a few minutes. This will start on September 25 at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. This maintenance process also targets other services. The previous switchover took 3 minutes, and the Site Reliability Engineering teams use many tools to make sure that this essential maintenance work happens as quickly as possible. [12]

Tech in depth

¿Habrá manera de solicitar que los mensajes se publiquen en castellano y no en inglés?--Jalu (discusión) 03:59 20 sep 2024 (UTC)
