Request for comment on Commons: Should Wikimedia support MP4 video?

I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.

The Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the MP4 video format. This digital video standard is used widely around the world to record, edit and watch videos on mobile phones, desktop computers and home video devices. It is also known as H.264/MPEG-4 or AVC.

Supporting the MP4 format would make it much easier for our users to view and contribute video on Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects -- and video files could be offered in dual formats on our sites, so we could continue to support current open formats (WebM and Ogg Theora).

However, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format, and using a proprietary format would be a departure from our current practice of only supporting open formats on our sites -- even though the licenses appear to have acceptable legal terms, with only a small fee required.

We would appreciate your guidance on whether or not to support MP4. Our Request for Comments presents views both in favor and against MP4 support, based on opinions we’ve heard in our discussions with community and team members.

Please join this RfC -- and share your advice.

All users are welcome to participate, whether you are active on Commons, Wikipedia, other Wikimedia project -- or any site that uses content from our free media repository.

You are also welcome to join tomorrow's Office hours chat on IRC, this Thursday, January 16, at 19:00 UTC, if you would like to discuss this project with our team and other community members.

We look forward to a constructive discussion with you, so we can make a more informed decision together on this important topic. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 07:46, 16 gen 2014 (CET)

Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014

On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension Universal Language Selector (ULS) was disabled on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.

We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A new checkbox has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.

You can read the announcement and the development plan for more information. Apologies for writing this message only in English. Thank you. Runa

Proposed optional changes to Terms of Use amendment

Hello all, in response to some community comments in the discussion on the amendment to the Terms of Use on undisclosed paid editing, we have prepared two optional changes. Please read about these optional changes on Meta wiki and share your comments. If you can (and this is a non english project), please translate this announcement. Thanks!

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:

• April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
• April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live

This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

For more information:

• Summary of changes and FAQ
• Discussion page for feedback or questions
• Post on blog.wikimedia.org

Media Viewer

Greetings, my apologies for writing in English.

I wanted to let you know that Media Viewer will be released to this wiki in the coming weeks. Media Viewer allows readers of Wikimedia projects to have an enhanced view of files without having to visit the file page, but with more detail than a thumbnail. You can try Media Viewer out now by turning it on in your Beta Features. If you do not enjoy Media Viewer or if it interferes with your work after it is turned on you will be able to disable Media Viewer as well in your preferences. I invite you to share what you think about Media Viewer and how it can be made better in the future.

Thank you for your time. - Keegan (WMF) 23:29, 23 mag 2014 (CEST)

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. It was noted that on this wiki upload is not fully functional for users, who will experience a very difficult and/or illegal uploading. In fact, the licenses/copyright tags dropdown is empty, making it hard or impossible to comply with copyright requirements during upload itself.

Presumably, you don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. I propose to have

• local "Carica un file" restricted to the "Amministratori" group (for emergency uploads) and
• the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,

so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.

All this will get done around 2014-07-03.

1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list. Remember also to create MediaWiki:Licenses locally with any content (see a simple example), or uploads will be soon disabled anyway by MediaWiki itself (starting in version 1.24wmf11).
2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Media Viewer is now live on this wiki

Media Viewer lets you see images in larger size

Greetings— and sorry for writing in English, please translate if it will help your community,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Multimedia team is happy to announce that Media Viewer was just released on this site today.

Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages — and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a Beta Feature and has been released to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.

If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on "Disable Media Viewer" at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your your preferences) whether you have an account or not. Learn more in this Media Viewer Help page.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to take this quick survey in English, en français, o español.

We hope you enjoy Media Viewer. Many thanks to all the community members who helped make it possible. - Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 23:54, 19 giu 2014 (CEST)

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Process ideas for software development

’’My apologies for writing in English.’’

Hello,

I am notifying you that a brainstorming session has been started on Meta to help the Wikimedia Foundation increase and better affect community participation in software development across all wiki projects. Basically, how can you be more involved in helping to create features on Wikimedia projects? We are inviting all interested users to voice their ideas on how communities can be more involved and informed in the product development process at the Wikimedia Foundation. It would be very appreciated if you could translate this message to help inform your local communities as well.

I and the rest of my team welcome you to participate. We hope to see you on Meta.

Kind regards, -- Rdicerb (WMF) talk 00:15, 22 ago 2014 (CEST)

Meta RfCs on two new global groups

Hello all,

There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review.

We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.

It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Thanks and regards, Ajraddatz (talk) 19:04, 26 ott 2014 (CET)

Global AbuseFilter

Salve,

AbuseFilter è un'estensione MediaWiki usata per identificare schemi di comportamento simil-abusivi, come vandalismi e spam. Nel 2013, i Filtri anti Abuso Globali sono stati attivati su un limitato numero di wiki come Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies e (ad inizio 2014) su tutte le "piccole wiki". Recentemente, i filtri anti abuso globali sono stati attivati anche sulle "wiki di medie dimensioni". Questi filtri sono attualmente gestiti da steward su Meta-Wiki ed hanno mostrato di essere molto efficaci nel prevenire attacchi massivi di spam attraverso i progetti Wikimedia. Comunque, non c'è attualmente una politica su come i Filtri anti Abuso Globali debbano essere gestiti, anche se esistono delle proposte. Sta avendo luogo una richiesta di commenti sulle politiche per governare l'uso dei Filtri anti Abuso globali. Nel frattempo, le singole wiki possono disattivare l'uso dei Filtri anti Abuso globali. Queste wiki devono solamente aggiungere una richiesta a questa lista su Meta-Wiki. Ulteriori dettagli possono essere trovati in questa pagina su Meta-Wiki. Se hai domande, sentiti libero di chiedere su m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter.

Grazie,

VisualEditor coming to this wiki as a Beta Feature

Hello. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you translated this message!

VisualEditor, a rich-text editor for MediaWiki, will soon be available on this wiki as a Beta Feature. The estimated date of activation is Wednesday, 26 November.

To access it, you will need to visit the Funzioni beta page after the deployment and tick the box next to "⧼Visualeditor-preference-core-label⧽". (If you have enabled the "Attiva automaticamente la maggior parte delle funzionalità sperimentali" option, VisualEditor will be automatically available for you.) There will also be a "⧼Visualeditor-preference-language-label⧽" that you can enable if you need it.

Then, you just have to click on "Modifica" to start VisualEditor, or on "Modifica sorgente" to edit using wikitext markup. You can even begin to edit pages with VisualEditor and then switch to the wikitext editor simply by clicking on its tab at any point, and you can keep your changes when doing so.

A guide was just published at mediawiki.org so that you can learn how to support your community with this transition: please read and translate it if you can! You will find all the information about the next steps there. Please report any suggestions or issues at the main feedback page. You will also receive the next issues of the multilingual monthly newsletter here on this page: if you want it delivered elsewhere, for example at your personal talk page, please add the relevant page here.

Thanks for your attention and happy editing, Elitre (WMF) 19:12, 21 nov 2014 (CET)

VisualEditor News #10—2014

Lo sapevi?

La modifica base di tabelle è ora disponibile per VisualEditor. Puoi aggiungere o eliminare colonne e righe dalle colonne con il clic di un pulsante.

La guida utente ha informazioni aggiuntive su come utilizzare VisualEditor.

Dall'ultima newsletter, l'Editing team ha sistemato molti errori e ha lavorato sulle prestazioni e sulla modifica di tabelle. I loro resoconti settimanali sono pubblicati su mediawiki.org. I progetti futuri sono pubblicati nella roadmap di VisualEditor.

VisualEditor è stato distribuito a centinaia di Wiki come funzionalità sperimentale alla fine di novembre, tranne per molti Wikizionari (che dipendono fortemente dai template) e tutte le Wikisource (che attendono l'integrazione delle pagine in rilettura).

Migliorìe recenti

Il supporto per la modifica delle tabelle è ora disponibile. Puoi aggiungere e cancellare tabelle, aggiungere e rimuovere righe e colonne, inserire o rimuovere una didascalia per la tabella e unire celle. Per modificare il contenuto di una cella, fai doppio click su di essa. Altre funzioni verranno aggiunte nei prossimi mesi. Inoltre, VisualEditor ora ignora elementi rowspan e colspan non funzionanti o non validi, invece di tentare di sistemarli.

Ora puoi utilizzare lo strumento trova e sostituisci in VisualEditor, attivandolo tramite il pulsante nel menù strumenti o premendo ^ Ctrl+F o ⌘ Cmd+F.

Puoi creare e modificare semplici paragrafi <blockquote> per citare e indentare contenuti. Questo modifica un "Paragrafo" in un "Blocco citazione".

Alcune nuove sequenze da tastiera possono essere utilizzate per formattare il contenuto. All'inizio di una linea, inserire "* " creerà un elenco puntato; "1." o "#" crea un elenco numerato; "==" crea un titolo di sezione; ": " crea un paragrafo indentato. Se si vuole annullare l'auto-formattazione di questi elementi, basta premere "annulla" per annullare la formattazione.

Ci sono anche altre due sequenze da tastiera: "[[" per aprire lo strumento dei link e "{{" per aprire lo strumento template, per aiutare gli editor più esperti. Le scorciatoia da tastiera standard, come ^ Ctrl+K, sono ancora funzionanti.

Se viene aggiunta una categoria che ha subito uno spostamento, ora VisualEditor aggiunge la pagina finale. Le categorie senza una pagina descrittiva ora sono mostrate in rosso.

Si possono creare e modificare le gallerie come codice wikitesto.

Guardando avanti

Il design corrente di VisualEditor verrà rimpiazzato da un nuovo tema creato dal gruppo User Experience. Il nuovo tema sarà visibile per i sistemi desktop in mediawiki.org alla fine di dicembre e negli altri siti dall'inizio di gennaio (puoi vedere un'anteprima del vecchio tema "Apex" e il nuovo tema "MediaWiki").

Il team di modifica pianifica di aggiungere uno strumento di auto-completamento per le citazioni in gennaio.

Sono stati pianificati cambiamenti alla finestra di dialogo per la ricerca di file per rendere la scelta di immagini più facile.
