* New request for comments: [[:d:Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Inverse_property_access_for_wikis_:_a_lua_API_request_for_the_development_team|Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis]]. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.) |

Nowe archiwum
Cześć. Przeniosłem całość nie tnąc na lata, bo nie ma to znaczenia. Nowe archiwum jest tutaj. Jackowal piszże 18:41, 22 sie 2023 (CEST)
Wiadomości techniczne: 2023-35
Najnowsze wiadomości ze środowiska technicznego Wikimedia. Poinformuj innych użytkowników o tych zmianach. Nie wszystkie zmiany będą dotyczyć ciebie lub twojej wiki. Dostępne są tłumaczenia na inne języki.
Ostatnie zmiany
- Część lepszej obsługi podzielenia akapitu w widoku zmian – ulepszony algorytm wykrywania poziału – jest wdrażany na wiki. Przez ostatnie dwa tygodnie udostępnialiśmy go na wiki z grupy zerowej oraz pierwszej. W tym tygodniu będzie wdrożony w grupie drugiej. [1]
- Strona Specjalna:Wkład pokazuje teraz liczbę edycji użytkownika na danej wiki oraz datę utworzenia konta. [2]
- Wikiskrybi mogą teraz korzystać z etykiety
prpbengalicurrency
, aby wykorzystać bengaskie symbole walut jako numery stron w znaczniku<pagelist>
. [3] - Dwa ustawienia zostały przeniesione w inne miejsce Preferencji. „Włącz edytor wizualny” znajduje się teraz w zakładce „Edycja” na wszystkich wiki. Do tej pory na niektórych było dostępne na karcie „Funkcje eksperymentalne”. Opcja „Używaj trybu wikitekstu wewnątrz edytora wizualnego, zamiast innego edytora wikitekstu” również jest teraz dostępna w zakładce „Edycja” zamiast „Funkcje eksperymentalne”. [4][5]
Zmiany w tym tygodniu
- Nowa wersja MediaWiki będzie instalowana na wiki testowych i MediaWiki.org od 29 sierpnia, na stronach innych niż Wikipedia i niektórych Wikipediach od 30 sierpnia, a następnie na wszystkich wiki od 31 sierpnia (harmonogram).
- Nowe rejestracje kont deweloperskich Wikimedia będą przepuszczane przez idm.wikimedia.org, zamiast Wikitech. Dostępne jest więcej informacji o nowym systemie.
- Na wszystkich wiki w językach pisanych od prawej do lewej oraz koreańskiej, ormiańskiej, ukraińskiej, rosyjskiej i bułgarskiej Wikipedii w pasku narzędziowym dostępny będzie link ze skróconym adresem URL do strony. Funkcja ta korzysta ze skracarki adresów Wikimedia i zostanie udostępniona na kolejnych wiki w nadchodzących tygodniach. [6]
Przyszłe zmiany
- Toczy się dyskusja nad usunięciem rozszerzenia DoubleWiki. Pozwala ono aktualnie wikiskrybom na wyświetlanie artykułów z wielu wersji językowych obok siebie, poprzez wybór symbolu $2 przy odpowiedniej edycji językowej. Zapraszamy do komentowania na w zadaniu na Phabricatorze.
- Zaproponowano, by dodatkową listę ukrytych kategorii (zwijaną, umieszczoną poniżej formularza edycji wikikodu) scalić z podstawową listą kategorii (umieszczoną na samym dole strony). Więcej informacji dostępne jest na Phabricatorze, zapraszamy również do pozostawienia swoich opinii.

Wiadomości techniczne: 2023-37
Najnowsze wiadomości ze środowiska technicznego Wikimedia. Poinformuj innych użytkowników o tych zmianach. Nie wszystkie zmiany będą dotyczyć ciebie lub twojej wiki. Dostępne są tłumaczenia na inne języki.
Ostatnie zmiany
- ORES, usługa oceniania edycji, korzysta teraz z nowej, otwartoźródłowej infrastruktury na wszystkich wiki, oprócz angielskiej Wikipedii i Wikidanych. Na tych dwóch zostanie wdrożona w tym tygodniu. Jeśli zauważycie jakieś niespodziewane wyniki po przefiltrowaniu Ostatnich Zmian według kryteriów związanych z ORES (np. „Ocena jakości edycji” lub „Ocena intencji użytkownika”), prosimy zgłoście je. [14]
- Kiedy użytkownik jest zalogowany na pewnej wiki Wikimedia i odwiedzi inną wiki, system stara się go automatycznie zalogować. Przez długi czas działało to w sposób zawodny. Możesz teraz odwiedzić stronę logowania, aby system postarał się bardziej. Jeśli czujesz, że ta zmiana poprawiła lub pogorszyła logowanie w porównaniu z tym, co było do tej pory, prosimy o kontakt. [15]
Zmiany w tym tygodniu
- Nowa wersja MediaWiki będzie instalowana na wiki testowych i MediaWiki.org od 12 września, na stronach innych niż Wikipedia i niektórych Wikipediach od 13 września, a następnie na wszystkich wiki od 14 września (harmonogram).
- Zespół organizujący retrospektywę Technical Decision-Making Forum zaprasza wszystkich zaangażowanych w technikalia związane z projektami Wikimedia do zapisania się i dołączenia do jednego z publicznych wysłuchań 13 września. Kolejna data wysłuchania zostanie ustalona w przyszłości. Celem jest polepszenie procesu podejmowania decyzji technicznych.
- W ramach projektu lepszej obsługi podziałów akapitów w porównaniu zmian z listy życzeń społeczności, na wiki tym tygodniu zostanie wdrożony przełącznik jednokolumnowego układu porównania zmian. Pozwoli on na przełączenie między klasycznym dwukolumnowym widokiem, a scalonym, jednokolumnowym. [16]
Przyszłe zmiany
- Wszystkie wiki będą w trybie tylko do odczytu przez kilka minut 20 września. Zostało to zaplanowane na 14:00 UTC. Więcej informacji będzie opublikowane w Tech News oraz umieszczone na poszczególnych wiki w nadchodzących tygodniach. [17]
- API Enterprise otrzyma nową funkcję: „breaking news”. Aktualnie jest ona w fazie beta i ma służyć do identyfikowania tematów, o których pisze się na Wikipedii, i które prawdopodobnie są warte opisania w mediach. Prosimy o pomoc w poprawie dokładności modelu wykrywającego takie tematy. Przyda się ona szczególnie dla mniej popularnych języków. Prosimy o wskazanie charakterystycznych szablonów lub wzorców edytowania. Więcej informacji jest dostępne w dokumentacji na MediaWiki i w FAQ na Meta.

Wiadomości techniczne: 2023-40
Najnowsze wiadomości ze środowiska technicznego Wikimedia. Poinformuj innych użytkowników o tych zmianach. Nie wszystkie zmiany będą dotyczyć ciebie lub twojej wiki. Dostępne są tłumaczenia na inne języki.
Ostatnie zmiany
- Dostępne jest nowe ustawienie w Preferencjach „Zawsze aktywuj tryb bezpieczny”. Pozwala ono na ładowanie każdej strony w trybie bezpiecznym, bez wczytywania kodu JavaScript i arkuszy stylów, zdefiniowanych na wiki. Może się przydać przy debugowaniu popsutych gadżetów. [25]
- Definicja gadżetu może określać opcję „contentModels”. Przyjmuje ona listę modeli zawartości (takich jak
wikitext
czycss
) i określa, na jakiego rodzaju stronach gadżet ma być ładowany.
Zmiany w tym tygodniu
- Nowa wersja MediaWiki będzie instalowana na wiki testowych i MediaWiki.org od 3 października, na stronach innych niż Wikipedia i niektórych Wikipediach od 4 października, a następnie na wszystkich wiki od 5 października (harmonogram).
Przyszłe zmiany
- Skórka Wektor 2022 nie będzie już ładować styli i skryptów ze starego Wektora (2010). Zmiana zostanie wykonana później w tym roku lub na początku 2024. Więcej szczegółów jak dostosować strony CSS i JS na wiki. [26]

Welcome to the 600th Wikidata Weekly Summary!
- Welcome to the 600th Weekly Summary!
Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ --Mohammed
- Item #600 Ichiro Suzuki; Property #600 is Wine AppDB ID; and Lexeme #600 is the Japanese conjugation だから
- 600 in the multiverse: as a year (another year), a number, a category, a track gauge, a jet, an asteroid, an auto race, a genetic element, a death, a birth, a TV serie, a car, a galaxy, a sport discipline, a radio telescope, an engine, a polygon, a film, a GPU, a photolithography, and many more…
- Timeline of places when they had a population of exactly 600
- Map of things at an altitude of 600 m
- List of items with an external ID equal to 600
- Wikidata was 600 days old on Wednesday 11 June 2014. It will be 600 weeks old on Monday 9 August 2027
- WikidataCon happened over the weekend
- Birthday wishes from the community, and a special note from the Wikidata development team at Wikimedia Deutschland below:
Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.
There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉
Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all.
And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me.

Wiadomości techniczne: 2023-44
Najnowsze wiadomości ze środowiska technicznego Wikimedia. Poinformuj innych użytkowników o tych zmianach. Nie wszystkie zmiany będą dotyczyć ciebie lub twojej wiki. Dostępne są tłumaczenia na inne języki.
Ostatnie zmiany
- Zespół ds. Danych Strukturyzowanych, w ramach rozwoju Kreatora przesyłania na Commons, wprowadził pewne ulepszenia UX w kroku, gdzie wybiera się między „swoją” a „nie swoją” pracą (T347590) oraz w wyborze licencji dla swojej pracy (T347756).
- Zespół Systemów Wzornictwa udostępnił wersję 1.0.0 biblioteki Codex, nową bibliotekę komponentów interfejsu dla Wikimediów. Możesz przeczytać pełny tekst ogłoszenia o wydaniu Codex 1.0.0.
Zmiany w tym tygodniu
- Nowa wersja MediaWiki będzie instalowana na wiki testowych i MediaWiki.org od 31 października, na stronach innych niż Wikipedia i niektórych Wikipediach od 1 listopada, a następnie na wszystkich wiki od 2 listopada (harmonogram).
- Listy na stronach kategorii są sortowane na każdej wiki według jej języka, z wykorzystaniem wyspecjalizowanej biblioteki. 2 listopada, przez krótki czas, zmiany w kategoriach mogą nie być właściwie sortowane dla wielu języków. Wynika to z faktu, że inżynierowie będą dokonywali aktualizacji tej biblioteki. Po fakcie zostanie uruchomiony skrypt, który naprawi sortowanie w istniejących kategoriach. Zajmie to kilka godzin lub dni, zależnie od wielkości wiki. Dostępne jest więcej informacji. [32][33]
- Od 1 listopada zespół Growth będzie uaktualniał moduł wpływu (Special:Impact). Nowy wersja pokazuje nowicjuszom więcej danych, dotyczących ich wpływu na wiki. W ciągu ostatnich kilku miesięcy testowano go na kilku wiki. [34]
Przyszłe zmiany
- Zaproponowano plan ponownego włączenia rozszerzenia Graph. Możesz pomóc, przeglądając propozycję i komentując ją.
- WMF pracuje nad umożliwieniem administratorom bezpośredniego edytowania konfiguracji MediaWiki. Będzie to coś podobnego do wcześniejszej pracy nad Special:EditGrowthConfig. Do 8 listopada trwa techniczne RFC, gdzie możecie przekazać opinie.

- Language codes:
- We made Special:NewLexeme more likely to guess the spelling variant for you by changing the Property we use to get the language code. Now you will see the spelling variant input pop up less often. (phab:T349652)
- We started work towards allowing many more languages by default for Wikibase Lexeme and monolingual text statements. This will remove the need for a lot of requests for new language codes to be added. (phab:T341409)
- Query Service UI: We’ve fixed a small issue in the Query Service UI that was introduced when updating CSS variables. Content of selected cells in the query result should be readable again. (phab:T350153)

Wiadomości techniczne: 2023-46
Najnowsze wiadomości ze środowiska technicznego Wikimedia. Poinformuj innych użytkowników o tych zmianach. Nie wszystkie zmiany będą dotyczyć ciebie lub twojej wiki. Dostępne są tłumaczenia na inne języki.
Ostatnie zmiany
- Cztery nowe wiki zostały utworzone:
Problemy
- W zeszłym tygodniu użytkownicy, którzy wcześniej odwiedzili Meta-Wiki lub Wikimedia Commons, a następnie wylogowali się z tych wiki, nie mogli ponownie zalogować się. Problem został rozwiązany. [43]
- W zeszłym tygodniu czcionka w niektórych oknach dialogowych i menu miała zły rozmiar. Zostało to naprawione. [44]
Zmiany w tym tygodniu
- Nowa wersja MediaWiki będzie instalowana na wiki testowych i MediaWiki.org od 14 listopada, na stronach innych niż Wikipedia i niektórych Wikipediach od 15 listopada, a następnie na wszystkich wiki od 16 listopada (harmonogram).
Przyszłe zmiany
- Podgląd przypisów pojawi się na wielu wiki jako funkcja domyślna. Wyświetla ona dymki z treścią przypisu, podobnie jak Pogdląd stron pokazuje początek linkowanego artykułu. Możesz zrezygnować z nowej funkcji. Jeśli korzystasz z gadżetów Reference Tooltips albo Navigation Popups, nie zobaczysz Podglądu przypisów. Wdrożenie planowane jest na 22 listopada 2023.
- Od 11 grudnia do strumieni zdarzeń Wikimedia będą kierowane zdarzenia kanarkowe (canary/heartbeat events). Zaleca się, by użytkownicy strumieni odfiltrowywali wszystkie zdarzenia, gdzie
meta.domain == "canary"
. Aktualizacje do Pywikibota i wikimedia-streams spowodują domyślne ignorowanie takich zdarzeń. [45]

Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The seventh Wikidata Working Hour will cover the Author Disambiguator tool, which helps users assign authors to articles.During the session we will demonstrate how to use the tool on an author who was created during a previous working hour, and another who doesn't exist in Wikidata yet. After the demonstration, participants are encouraged to try the tool themselves during the rest of the working hour. This session will build on the work done in previous Working Hours by connecting authors to the articles they have written. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page

Wikidata weekly summary #611
Discussions
- New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)
