The course was facilitated by experienced African Wikimedian editors and included diverse strategies for learner engagement and support.
  • Papers: Increasing Coverage and Precision of Textual Information in Multilingual Knowledge Graphs by (Conia et al, 2023) --> This paper introduces a novel task of automatic Knowledge Graph Enhancement (KGE) to bridge the gap in the quantity and quality of textual information between English and non-English languages in Wikidata. It presents M-NTA, an unsupervised approach that combines Machine Translation, Web Search, and Large Language Models to generate high-quality textual information, and studies its impact on Entity Linking, Knowledge Graph Completion, and Question Answering tasks.

    • Wikidata, Wikisource and Wiktionary: Wikisource for DH (WiSe 2023) --> The lecture "Fundamentals and application-oriented methods of the Digital Humanities" by Kay-Michael Würzner is designed as a series of lectures in which teachers in the "Digital Humanities" course present their fields of work and key topics and present them for discussion.
    • Empowering Open-Source Generative AI by Integrating the Wikidata knowledge graph --> Generative AI has changed the information ecosystem, and open-source knowledge graphs like Wikidata can become invaluable assets, propelling a myriad of applications forward. Jonathan Fraine & Lydia Pintscher present the practical integration of Wikidata's open-source, open-access knowledge graph to empower Generative AI applications. Harnessing the real-time updated, structured data encapsulated within Wikidata, they explore automated content creation, data augmentation, and semantic analysis, underpinning the generative paradigms. Through a blend of theoretical insights and real-world applications, they elucidate how to leverage Wikidata to elevate generative AI applications, breaking down existing data silos, and fostering a collaborative ecosystem within our global community of developers and contributors.

• Tool of the week
  • Cersei - is a tool designed for importing or scraping data from various third-party sources, using source-specific Python code. It can use a "headless browser" to scrape complicated websites that rely on eg JavaScript to navigate. It can therefore access data sources that can not be accessed via eg Mix'n'match. The data from sources can be updated regularly, either for everything, or just changed entries (if the source has a "recent changes" equivalent).
  • Wikidata:Zotero/Cita - is a Wikidata addon for Zotero that adds citations (i.e., what other items an item cites) metadata support to this open source reference management software, using cites work (P2860) information available from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data.

• Papers: Understanding Wikidata - Wikidata is extremely valuable as a data source to supplement, validate and extend existing knowledge bases and applications. To effectively utilize Wikidata in a Semantic Web application, one must understand its design, terminology and correspondence with ontological concepts (especially RDF and OWL). This paper attempts to explain and position this information. (by AWesterinen)

Frågor från Jussi och mio (2 april 2024 kl. 16.22)

Hur skriver jag en egen sida? --Jussi och mio (diskussion) 2 april 2024 kl. 16.22 (CEST)

Hej Jussi och mio! Det beror på vad du menar med egen. Allt innehåll på Wikipedia underhålls gemensamt, så på ett sätt är inget eget. Om du menar om dig själv, så bör du inte göra det alls, se vår riktlinje om intressekonflikter. Om du menar hur du kan skapa en artikel om någon annan så får du det förklarat för dig i introduktionskursen. ♥Ainali ^diskussion_bidrag 2 april 2024 kl. 16.31 (CEST)

Frågor från Wilhelmina på Uddeholm (5 april 2024 kl. 16.49)

Hej!

Jag fick i uppdrag att uppdatera min organisations Wikipediasida med aktuella namn och siffror. Dock förstår jag att det finns en intressekonflikt i att jag redigerar sidan. Wikipedia säger att man ska meddela när det finns en intressekonflikt. Hur gör jag det? Hur fungerar det förresten när jag har gjort en ändring som ska granskas.. Vem granskar och hur kan den veta om informationen stämmer? --Wilhelmina på Uddeholm (diskussion) 5 april 2024 kl. 16.49 (CEST)

Jag tycker att den erinran du fick var ogenomtänkt. Tack för ditt bidrag att hålla uppslagsverket uppdaterat. Din ändring låter vi ligga kvar. Draken Bowser (diskussion) 5 april 2024 kl. 17.38 (CEST)

Senaste ändringar

• Webbläsare kan använda verktyg som kallas tillägg. Det finns nu ett Chrome-tillägg som heter Citation Needed som du kan använda för att se om det finns stöd för ett uttalande på internet i en Wikipediaartikel. Detta är ett litet experiment för att se om Wikipedia kan användas så här. Tillägget kan bara användas i Chrome på engelska eftersom det är ett litet tillägg.
• En ny funktion Återställa redigeringar har lagts till på alla wikier, tillgänglig som en användarinställning. När du aktiverat det kommer alla dina pågående redigeringar lagras i din webbläsare, och om du av misstag skulle stänga ett redigeringsfönster eller din webbläsare eller om din dator kraschar, så kommer tillfrågas om du till återställa texten som inte publicerats. Detta var önska nummer 8 i Gemenskapens önskelista 2023.
• De första resultaten från experimentet Edit check har publicerats. Edit check har nu aktiverats som standardfunktion på wikier som testat det. Berätta gärna om du vill att din wikier blir en del av den nästa aktiveringen av Edit check. [4][5]
• Läsare som använder utseendet Minerva i mobilen kommer få en avisering om en förbättring av radhöjden över i alla typografiska inställningar. [6]

Ändringar senare den här veckan

• Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 9 april. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 10 april. Den kommer att finnas på alla Wikipediaspråkversioner från och med 11 april (kalender). [7][8]
• Nya konton och utloggade användare kommer få VisualEditor som som standardredigerare i mobilen. Detta aktiveras på alla wikier förutom den engelskspråkiga Wikipedia. [9]

Tekniknyheter: 2024-16

Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.

Problem

• Mellan 2 april och 8 april var taggen "Återställd" inte tillämpad på tillbakarullade redigeringar på wikier som använder Flagged Revisions. Dessutom granskades inte sidflyttar, skrivskydd och importer automatiskt. Detta har åtgärdats. [10][11]

Ändringar senare den här veckan

• Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 16 april. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 17 april. Den kommer att finnas på alla wikier från och med 18 april (kalender). [12][13]
• Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [14]
• A new variable page_last_edit_age will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [15]

Kommande ändringar

• Volontärutvecklare uppmuntras uppdatera sina verktygs och funktioners kod för att hantera tillfälliga konton. Ta reda på mer.
• Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filter and abuse_filter_history tables. Some queries might need to be updated. [16]

Tech News: 2024-17

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

• Starting this week, newcomers editing Wikipedia will be encouraged to try structured tasks. Structured tasks have been shown to improve newcomer activation and retention. [17]
• You can nominate your favorite tools for the fifth edition of the Coolest Tool Award. Nominations will be open until May 10.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 April. It will be on all wikis from 25 April (calendar). [18][19]

Future changes

• This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of Special:Min sida/vector.js to Special:Min sida/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [20]

Growth News, April 2024

The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.

If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

Community Configuration

Growth features are currently configurable at Special:EditGrowthConfig. This quarter we are working on making Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.

An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.

In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.

Experiment Results

Add a Image experiment analysis results

The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:

• The likelihood that mobile web newcomers make their first article edit (+17.0% over baseline)
• The likelihood that they are retained as newcomers (+24.3% over baseline)
• The number of edits they make during their first two weeks on the wiki (+21.8% over baseline)
• A lower probability of the newcomers' edits will be reverted (-3.3% over baseline).

Personalized praise experiment results

This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. (T361763)

English donors encouraged to try editing

As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation (example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. (T352900)

Future work

Annual Plan

The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. (T361657)

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

• Diskussionssidors utseende har ändrats för följande wikier: Azerbajdzjanskspråkiga Wikipedia, Bengalispråkiga Wikipedia, Tyskspråkiga Wikipedia, Persiskspråkiga Wikipedia, Hebreiskspråkiga Wikipedia, Hindispråkiga Wikipedia, Indonesiskspråkiga Wikipedia, Koreanskspråkiga Wikipedia, Nederländskspråkiga Wikipedia, Portugisiskspråkiga Wikipedia, Rumänskspråkiga Wikipedia, Thailändskspråkiga Wikipedia, Turkiskspråkiga Wikipedia, Ukrainskspråkiga Wikipedia, Vietnamesiskspråkiga Wikipedia. Dessa wikier deltog i ett test, där 50% av användarna fick den nya designen i ett år. Då testet gav positiva resultat kommer den nya designen aktiveras på dessa wikier som standarddesign. Det går att välja dom här ändringarna i dina användarinställningar ("Visa diskussionsaktivitet"). Detta kommer också aktiveras på alla wikier under dom kommande veckorna. [21]
• Sju nya wikier har skapats:
  • en Wikipedia på betawi (w:bew:) [22]
  • en Wikipedia på kusaal (w:kus:) [23]
  • en Wikipedia på igala (w:igl:) [24]
  • en Wiktionary på karakalpak (wikt:kaa:) [25]
  • en Wikisource på burmesiska (s:my:) [26]
  • en Wikisource på malajiska (s:ms:) [27]
  • en Wikisource på georgiska (s:ka:) [28]
• Nu kan man bevaka meddelandegrupper/projekt på Translatewiki.net. Inledningsvis kommer funktionen avisera dig om tillagda eller raderade meddelanden i dessa grupper. [29]
• Mörkt läge finns nu tillgängligt på alla wikier, på mobilläget för inloggade användare som aktiverat avancerat läge. Detta är en tidig version av funktionen. Tekniska redigerare inbjuds att leta efter tillgänglighetsproblem på sina wikier. Läs mer detaljerade riktlinjer.

Problem

• Kartographer-kartor kan använda en alternativ visuell stil utan etiketter, genom att använda koden mapstyle="osm". Detta har tidigare inte fungerat i förhandsvisningar, vilket gav intrycket av att det inte stöddes. Detta har nu åtgärdats. [30]

Ändringar senare den här veckan

• Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 30 april. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 1 maj. Den kommer att finnas på alla wikier från och med 2 maj (kalender). [31][32]

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool. Some experience with editing Wikidata is appreciated, but no experience working with Schemas is required. If you are interested, you can sign up here. We hope to begin interviews around May 13.

Tech News: 2024-20

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

• On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word __EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__ to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [42]
• If you use the user-preference "Visa förhandsgranskning utan att uppdatera sidan", then the template-page feature "Förhandsgranska sida med denna mall" will now also work without reloading the page. [43]
• Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the alt= attribute. This is identical in usage to the alt= attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [44]
• The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [45]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (calendar). [46][47]
• The Special:Sök results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [48]

Future changes

• In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [49]
• Two columns of the pagelinks database table (pl_namespace and pl_title) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the new linktarget table instead (lt_namespace and lt_title). In your existing SQL queries:
  1. Replace JOIN pagelinks with JOIN linktarget and pl_ with lt_ in the ON statement
  2. Below that add JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
  • See phab:T222224 for technical reasoning. [50][51]

Senaste ändringar

• Funktionen Nuke, som låter användare massradera sidor, kommer nu på rätt sätt radera sidor som flyttats till en annan titel. [52]
• Uppladdningsguiden i Wikimedia Commons har ändrats: den övergripande utformningen har förbättrats, genom att följa ny stil och mellanrum och dess fält; fältet Bildtext är nu ett obligatoriskt fält och det finns ett alternativ för användare att kopiera sin bildtext till mediabeskrivningen. [53][54]

• HTLM som användes för att rendera alla rubriker uppdateras för att öka tillgängligheten. Detta kommer ändras den 22 maj för vissa utseenden (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia och Monobook). Testa gärna finesser på din wiki på dessa utseenden och rapportera relevanta problem så att dom kan åtgärdas innan den här ändringen utförs på alla utseenden. Utvecklarna överväger också att introducera en finess-API för att lägga till knappar till avsnittstitlar om det skulle vara användbart för verktygsutvecklare och vill gärna veta vad du tycker om detta.

  • is ontological root of (forms the root element of the ontology)
  • located in the Islamic territorial entity (the item is located on the territory of the following Islamic entity.)
  • address of addressee (address of the address e.g. on a postcard)
  • TheaterEncyclopedie ID (An item of the TheaterEncyclopedie)
  • relates to sustainable development goal, target or indicator (indicates a relation between the subject and the SDGs or one of the components)

I think it would make more sense to implement that as a qualifier for {{P|2196}} than implementing it as a new property as that wouldn't make old data obsolete, but also it could interfere with tools that retrieve that data automated and are then confused by having multiple counts at the same time.)

Tekniknyheter: 2024-22

Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.

Senaste ändringar

• Flera buggar som rör den senaste uppdateringarna av Uppladdningsguiden på Wikimedia Commons har åtgärdats. För mer information, se T365107 och T365119.
• I mars 2024 lades ett nytt addPortlet API till för att låta finesser skapa nya portlets (menyer) i utseendet. I vissa utseenden kan detta användas för att skapa nedsläppsmenyer (dropdowns). Finessutvecklare uppmuntras testa det och berätta vad ni tycker.
• Viss CSS i Minerva-utseendet har tagits bort för att göra det lättare för gemenskaper att konfigurera. Gränssnittsredigare borde kontrollera renderingen på mobila enheter för aspekter som rör klasserna: .collapsible, .multicol, .reflist, .coordinates, .topicon. Fler detaljer finns tillgängliga om ersättnings-CSS om det skulle behövas.

Ändringar senare den här veckan

• Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 28 maj. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 29 maj. Den kommer att finnas på alla wikier från och med 30 maj (kalender). [57][58]
• När du besöker en wiki där du inte har ett lokalt konto, kan lokala regler såsom redigeringsfilter ibland hindra att ett konto skapas. Från och med den här veckan tar MediaWiki med dina globala rättigheter i beräkningen om den ska åsidosätta sådana regler eller inte. [59]

Frågor från Emma.rydstrom (28 maj 2024 kl. 12.01)

Hej! Jag skulle vilja göra en helt ny sida om begreppet #CirkuLärdom - jag har bra koll på att jag ska skapa högkvalitativt innehåll, länkar, källor osv. Men jag har helt enkelt inte hittat var jag går in för att göra en ny artikel. :) --Emma.rydstrom (diskussion) 28 maj 2024 kl. 12.01 (CEST)

Hej Emma.rydstrom! Kul att du vill bidra med högkvalitativt innehåll! Om du har missat hur man skapar artiklar så antar jag att du har missat några andra av våra otaliga regler, så jag skulle rekommendera att du klickar dig igenom den korta introduktionskursen (som också innehåller hur man skapar en artikel). En av de viktiga punkterna handlar om vad som är relevant att skriva om i Wikipedia och att det framgår så fort som du publicerar första versionen. Därför kan det vara bra att börja att skriva artikeln i din sandlåda och så flyttar vi den till uppslagsverkets huvuddel när du börjar bli klar. Jag skulle egentligen också rekommendera att du börjar med att göra små redigeringar i några närliggande artiklar så att du bekantar dig med tekniken, även om sandlådan också är bra för det. ♥Ainali ^diskussion_bidrag 28 maj 2024 kl. 13.05 (CEST)

OK! Då börjar jag i introduktionen och i min sandlåda. Stort tack för hjälpen! Emma.rydstrom (diskussion) 28 maj 2024 kl. 13.39 (CEST)

Månadens uppdrag, maj 2024

Senaste ändringar

• Programvaran som används för att rendera SVG-filer har uppdaterats till en ny version, detta fixar flera långvariga buggar vid SVG-rendering. [65]
• HTML som används för att rendera alla rubriker har ändrats för att förbättra tillgänglighet. Det ändrades förra veckan i vissa utseenden (gamla Vector och Minerva). Testa gärna finesser på din wiki med dessa utseenden och rapportera relaterade problem så att dom kan åtgärdas innan ändringarna utförs också i Vector 2022. Utvecklarna överväger fortfarande att introducera en finess-API för att lägga till knappar i avsnittsrubriker om detta skulle vara användbart för verktygsskapare, och skulle uppskatta att få höra vad ni tycker om detta.
• HTML-markeringen som används för referenser av Parsoid ändrades förra veckan. Där Parsoid tidigare la till klassen mw-reference-text lägger nu Parsoid också till klassen reference-text för bättre kompatibilitet med äldre parser. Läs mer. [66]

Problem

• Det fanns en bugg med gränssnittet Innehållsöversättning som gjorde att verktygsmenyerna visades på fel plats. Detta har nu åtgärdats. [67]

Ändringar senare den här veckan

• Den nya versionen av MediaWiki inkluderar en till ändring av HTML-markeringen som används för referenser: Parsoid kommer nu generera en <span class="mw-cite-backlink">-"wrapper" för både namngivna och namnlösa referenser för bättre kompatibilitet med äldre parser. Gränssnittsadministratörer bör bekräfta att finesser som interagerar med referenser är kompatibla med den nya markeringen. Läs mer. [70]
• På flerspråkiga wikier som använder <translate>-systemet finns det en funktion som visar potentiellt föråldrade översättningar tills dom uppadaterats eller bekräftats. Från och med den här veckan kommer bekräftade översättningar att loggas, och det kommer också finnas en ny användarrättighet som kan krävas för att bekräfta översättningar om gemenskapen skulle vilja ha det.

Senaste tekniknyheter från Wikimedias tekniska gemenskap. Vänligen berätta för andra användare om dessa förändringar. Alla förändringar kommer inte påverka dig. Översättningar finns tillgängliga.

Senaste ändringar

• Redigerare har kanske lagt märke till att bakgrundsfärgen mot text i visningar av skillnader och färgen hos skillnaden i byte ändrades förra veckan. Dessa ändringar syftar till att göra texten mer läslig i både ljust och mörkt läge och är en del av en större ansträngning att öka tillgängligheten. Du kan kommentera och ställa frågor på projektets diskussionssida. [82]
• Textfärgen som används för besöka länkar, hovrade länkar och aktiva länkar, ändrades också lite förra veckan för att öka tillgängligheten i både ljust och mörkt läge. [83]

Problem

• Man kan kopiera permanenta länkar till kommentarer på diskussionssidor genom att klicka på en kommentars tidsstämpel. Den här funktionen fungerade inte alltid när ämnesrubriken var väldigt lång och länken användes som en wikitextlänk. Detta har åtgärdats. [84]

Ändringar senare den här veckan

• Den nya MediaWikiversionen kommer att finnas på testwikier och MediaWiki.org från och med 25 juni. Den kommer att finnas på alla projekt utom Wikipedia, samt några Wikipediaspråkversioner, från och med 26 juni. Den kommer att finnas på alla wikier från och med 27 juni (kalender). [85][86]
• Från och med 26 juni kommer alla tidsstämplar för kommentaren på diskussionssidor på engelskspråkiga Wikipedia bli en länk, som man kan använda på alla wikier. Den här länken är en permanent länk till kommentaren. Detta gör så att användare lättare kan hitta en kommentar som någon länkat till även om kommentaren flyttats. Du kan läsa mer om den här funktionen på Diff eller på MediaWiki.org. [87]
