Întrebare de la Cristinaivan pe Utilizator:Cristinaivan (5 mai 2021 15:47)

Buna ziua ! As dori sa creez o pagina despre cineva ! O bibliografie mai exact ! Cum as putea proceda ? De unde încep ? Mulțumesc ! --Cristinaivan (discuție) 5 mai 2021 15:47 (EEST)

Cristinaivan, vă referiți la o biografie? Wikipedia are câteva ghiduri pe care le puteți folosi: ghidul Wikipedia vă învață cum să editați, iar Wikipedia:Primul articol vă învață să publicați un articol. Sugestia mea ar fi să începeți prin a vedea dacă subiectul este notabil potrivit regulilor Wikipedia și apoi să consultați niște biografii de calitate pentru a vedea structura articolului, stilul de scriere etc.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  5 mai 2021 16:12 (EEST)

Tech News: 2021-21

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

• The Wikimedia movement has been using IRC on a network called Freenode. There have been changes around who is in control of the network. The Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts have decided to move to the new Libera Chat network instead. This is not a formal decision for the movement to move all channels but most Wikimedia IRC channels will probably leave Freenode. There is a migration guide and ongoing Wikimedia discussions about this.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 May. It will be on all wikis from 27 May (calendar).

Files without a license

Hi! On Utilizator:MGA73/teste I made a list of files that does not seem to have a license. Some files may have a license that does not place the files in one of the categories I excluded.

Many of the files are uploaded by you. Files of statues and buildings should also have a license for the photo. If building is out of copyright in 10 years then the FOP template can be removed and then there is no copyright information for the photo.

Perhaps you could have a look on the list? --MGA73 (discuție) 30 mai 2021 22:11 (EEST)

MGA73 These are all files evacuated from commons and should be in the proper FoP category there. Not quite sure what software i used, though, but it obviously did not work properly. Since you are a sysop on commons, perhaps you could help out by copy-pasting the former description? It should be straigh-forward, the names are most likely identical and I duplicated most Commons templates so the ex-commons script would work.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  31 mai 2021 18:31 (EEST)

Great. I will have a look. But not all files are your uploade so someone should poke other users. --MGA73 (discuție) 31 mai 2021 22:42 (EEST)

Tech News: 2021-23

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

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 June. It will be on all wikis from 10 June (calendar).

Future changes

• The Wikimedia movement uses Phabricator for technical tasks. This is where we collect technical suggestions, bugs and what developers are working on. The company behind Phabricator will stop working on it. This will not change anything for the Wikimedia movement now. It could lead to changes in the future. [11][12][13]
• Searching on Wikipedia will find more results in some languages. This is mainly true for when those who search do not use the correct diacritics because they are not seen as necessary in that language. For example searching for Bedusz doesn't find Będusz on German Wikipedia. The character ę isn't used in German so many would write e instead. This will work better in the future in some languages. [14]
• The CSRF token parameters in the action API were changed in 2014. The old parameters from before 2014 will stop working soon. This can affect bots, gadgets and user scripts that still use the old parameters. [15][16]

Tech News: 2021-24

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

• Logged-in users on the mobile web can choose to use the advanced mobile mode. They now see categories in a similar way as users on desktop do. This means that some gadgets that have just been for desktop users could work for users of the mobile site too. If your wiki has such gadgets you could decide to turn them on for the mobile site too. Some gadgets probably need to be fixed to look good on mobile. [17]
• Language links on Wikidata now works for multilingual Wikisource. [18]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

• In the future we can't show the IP of unregistered editors to everyone. This is because privacy regulations and norms have changed. There is now a rough draft of how showing the IP to those who need to see it could work.
• German Wikipedia, English Wikivoyage and 29 smaller wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 22 June. This is planned between 5:00 and 5:30 UTC. [19]
• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes in the week of 28 June. More information will be published in Tech News later. It will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [20][21]

Întrebare de la Cucuzel Andrei (16 iunie 2021 15:47)

hey --Cucuzel Andrei (discuție) 16 iunie 2021 15:47 (EEST)

Salut!--Strainu (دسستي‎)  16 iunie 2021 21:16 (EEST)

Categorie:Imagini care violează drepturile de autor

Hi! Are files in this category deletable or is anything more needed? --MGA73 (discuție) 10 iunie 2021 19:16 (EEST)

Their tagging says they're deletable, but sone cn clearly be saved.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  13 iunie 2021 20:47 (EEST)

Great. It would be easier if they had a clear source, author and date. A photo can be copyrighted even if it is 100 yrs old. --MGA73 (discuție) 19 iunie 2021 19:23 (EEST)

MGA73 actually, for photos made in Romania it's highly unlikely due to {{DP-ro-1956}}. In my experience, it's only the case for family photos and reproductions that are not photos, and even then, if the subject has passed away, we can keep them as fair use. More often, it's case of uselesness, not lack of rights. --Strainu (دسستي‎)  19 iunie 2021 21:03 (EEST)

Ooo thats a nice template :-) --MGA73 (discuție) 19 iunie 2021 21:06 (EEST)

Întrebare de la Ionut1137 (20 iunie 2021 12:13)

Cum aș putea să adaug o poză pe care nu o dețin dar am referință la ea, pe o pagină de wikipedia? --Ionut1137 (discuție) 20 iunie 2021 12:13 (EEST)

@Ionut1137: nu puteți. Pentru a include o fotografie în articolele Wikipedia, trebuie să o încărcați aici. Nu puteți face acest lucru decât dacă sunteți deținătorul drepturilor de autor sau în numite condiții foarte stricte, care necesită și justificarea necesității încrcării.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  20 iunie 2021 12:46 (EEST)

  • The call for candidates for 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board elections has begun on June 9. The last date to apply is June 29, 2021.
  • Since the beginning of the month, phabricator tickets about language codes (and names of languages) were reviewed and triaged to better reflect their content and current status. Some work was done to better identify the steps for such changes, highlight and address bottlenecks and system issues. Patches for a few codes were contributed and are being released. Phabricator "Language codes" workboard provides an overview, phab:T284856 attempts to identify maintenance steps and phab:T284276 determine turn-around times. phab:T284808 should finally close a gap in termbox language handeling. A way to better address some or all aspects of changes of language codes applicable to Wikipedia editions still needs to be found. Don't hesitate to request the addition or update of language names (e.g. the name of Dutch in Danish) or missing language codes, notably for monolingual strings (see Help:Monolingual text languages).
