Aumento de artículos

En diversos idiomas (cada vez más) se están usando plantillas que permiten la creación en masa de artículos multiidioma. Mírese como ejémplo exagerado nl:water con enlaces a tropecientas lenguas. La ventaja es que montada la infraestructura (osea, mogollón de plantillas) permite mover la información de un diccionario a otro en un santiamén. Véase la creación de artículos individuales como ca:Ampara o ca:mano. Hace falta editar el código para hacerse una idea.

aduyas inizials

• Estoy recientemén rechistrato e nezesito achuda:
  • Nezesito una abrebiatura para o español adverbio: adb.?
  • O berbo ser/estar non está n'o Biquizionario. No tiengo referenzias para poder charrar e dirichir-me a vos!! Cal fer tamién para otros berbos muy importantes (poder, querer/voler?, ir), preposizións y conchunzións, pos aduyaría muito y no exiche muito tiempo. Si lo trobo en charrando yo lo foi con a aduya de toz.
  • Sé que estareis cansados de que pidan recursos para aprender aragonés y alomojó puede que no haya. De momento voy a ir leyendo www.charrando.com y los enlaces de aragonés en Biquipedia: sabeis de alguno más? Referiendo-me a busque en el diccionario que yo tengo...
• Hai bella razón para que Inglés-Aragonés esté mobido a minúscula inglés-Aragonés. He (¿y esto es con h!?) creyito (¿creato/creyato? ¿o es un error en fer?) Gallego-Aragonés y Aragonés-Gallego. Cal mober-lo?
• que significa adubir?
• existen dizionarios mono-/bilingües de aragonés?
• Sorry for my mixing aragonés, pero prefiero esforzar-me, intentar-lo e ir aprendiendo que escribir-tos desde el prenzipio en español, inglés o gallego.

Siento no poderte ayudar en mucho más, pero si que te puedo responder a alguna duda... el motivo en el que algunos diccionarios Aragonés-XX fue porque hace ya unos meses, el propio mediaWiki cambió automáticamente todos los artículos y los puso en minúsculas, y algunos de ellos no fueron corregidos (cuando tenga más tiempo me pondré a ello). Y ahora me pongo a estudiarZésar (CHV) (O mío Buzón de Correus) 10:10, 5 nobiembre 2006 (UTC)

• Bellas respuestas:
  • Adverbio = alberbio, alb. suposo yo.
  • O berbo ser/estar encara no ye feito, pero si quiers ya o faré y tamién os atros berbos que dezibas. De todas trazas ta fer-lo si quiers serba parexito á como ye feito lo berbo fer por exemplo, pero sustituyindo por as formas d'o estar.
  • He, ha y han d'o berbo aber s'escriben con h ta distinguir-los de e (conchunzión copulatiba, anque tamién gosa escribir-se y sobre tot dezir-se "y"), a (articlo femenino, a preposizión s'escribe con azento "á") y an (donde). Son as unicas tres parabras que trobarás en aragonés escritas con h por ixas razons. He creyito en fer profés que tera un error, o correuto ye he feito :-).
  • Adubir = alcanzar, llegar a hacer. Y adubir-se á = hacerse a la idea.
  • Recursos ta aprender aragonés no'n bi ha muitos. Aquí bi ha un chicot dizionario. Tamién tiens aquí bellas pachinas y cosetas en aragonés. Aquí bi ye una gramatica d'a luenga aragonesa anque ye en anglés. Y aquí unas notas gramaticals d'o dialeuto chistabín. O dizionario que dezibas que yo en tiengo ye un dizionario no eleutronico, sino un dizionario de paper. Iste ye o dizionario bilingüe de Antonio Martinez Ruiz, lo puez trobar en a Librería General de Zaragoza, pero en Galizia no creigo que o bendan :-( --Willtron 10:50, 5 nobiembre 2006 (UTC)

¿ Como se meten palabras nuebas?

Quiero meter Somontano/Semontano: Piedemonte

Pues igual que en la Biquipedia, le pones en "rechirar" la palabra que quieras, por ejemplo "Semontano" y sino esta creada te saldrá arriba "You searched for semontano" (lo ultimo en rojo). Pues pulsas en lo rojo y la creas. Luego también hay que seguir un formato para los artículos más o menos estandar...copiate un articulo ya hecho, por ejemplo mai y cambias las cosas (etimología, pronunciacion, traducciones...)...por cierto mai también podría ser nunca en benasqués no? ahora que lo veo...--Willtron 12:54, 3 Mayo 2007 (UTC)

Betawiki: better support for your language in MediaWiki

Dear community. I am writing to you to promote a special wiki called Betawiki. This wiki facilitates the localisation (l10n) of the MediaWiki interface. You may have changed many messages here on Wikipedia to use your language for your language profile, but if you would log in to for example the English language Wiktionary, you would not be able to use the interface as well translated as here. Infact, of the 1792 messages in the core of MediaWiki, 5 messages have been translated. Betawiki also supports the translation of messages of over 75 extensions, with 981 messages.

If you wish to contribute to better support of your language in MediaWiki, as well as for many MediaWiki extensions, please visit Betawiki, create an account and request translator priviledges. You can see the current status of localisation of your language on meta and do not forget to get in touch with others that may already be working on your language on Betawiki.

If you have any further questions, please let me know on my talk page on Betawiki. We will try and assist you as much as possible, for example by importing all messages from a local wiki for you to start with, if you so desire.

You can also find us on the Freenode IRC network in the channel #mediawiki-i18n where we would be happy to help you get started.

Thank you very much for your attention and I do hope to see some of you on Betawiki soon! Cheers! Siebrand@Betawiki 22:17, 20 setiembre 2007 (UTC)

Sugerencia

Si metemos en a capezera d'os articlos un __NOTOC__? Os italianos lo fan por exemplo, ...ebita que salga ixa lista á lo prenzipio que si ye larga baxa muito lo prenzipio de l'articlo. A soluzión ye meter el __NOTOC__ en as plantillas d'idioma {{-an-}}, {{-es-}}, {{-fr-}}...Tamién he bisto que fan serbir o __NOEDITSECTION__ ta que no amanixcan as etiquetas de [editar] en cada seuzión. --Willtron 13:44 13 abr 2008 (UTC)

Plantilla de etimología

Existe el problema de escribir las etimologías de palabras que no significan lo mismo que en latín. También existe el problema de las palabras que vienen del latín a través del occitano, (pai, orache). Es necesario que la plantilla de etimología contemple esos casos. Ya de paso, es necesario depurar ciertas cosas en la portada o en las distintas secciones tipo seuzión, Correuzión, que según la lógica y lo que recomienda el consello asesor de l'aragón son sezión y correzión.--EBRO 22:01 13 abr 2008 (UTC)

Bueno, pongo aquí lo que te he dicho por el messenger. Esa plantilla funciona con tres valores en el caso que comentas, con 2 si el significado es el mismo. Si quieres que no salga "con o sennificato igual" y en su lugar algo que tú escribas, ponle una tercera barra y escribe lo que quieras: {{Etimolochía|latín|nux|nuez}} te dará "Etimolochía: D'o latín nux, nuez.". Que en lugar de eso quieres que encima nuez te salga como enlace... pues en lugarde ...|nuez}} pones ...|[[nuez]], que e suna cosa muy ''bonita'' y '''hermosa''' que <u>cae d elos árboles</u>}}, con código wiki normal, y te saldrá lo que le pongas. Tengo que poner el manual de instrucciones en las plantillas que he creado estos días, aún no lo he hecho y e sfallo mío :P. --Lascorz (Quiers cosa?) 22:37 13 abr 2008 (UTC)

Bueno, me iba a dormir, pero al repasar la contestación, me detengo a pedir o plantear una cosa más. En latín hay declinación. Las palabras se nombran con dos casos, el nominativo primero y el genitivo después, (como ROSA, ROSAE y ROBUR, ROBORIS). La raíz de la que proviene la palabra aragonesa es la segunda, a través del acusativo, (ROSAM, ROBOREM). Se pierde la M, y ya tiene la protoforma latina de la que parte la forma romance. ¿ en la etimología ponemos el nominativo que nos da menos información NOX, ponemos la forma de genitivo NOCTIS o ponemos el acusativo que es el que importa en la evolución NOCTE-M > noite > nueit ?.--EBRO 22:55 13 abr 2008 (UTC)

Fundraising 2010

Hello Wikimedians,

As many of you are aware, we are now two months away from the Fundraiser for the Wikimedia Foundation, 2010. We have lofty goals, and we can meet them and exceed them!

The meta translators are already actively engaged in the annual drive to distribute our messages and we encourage you to do the same, but we would like to point everyone to the developments we've made in banner messages- from creation to commentary to the ones that will go live for test and for the drive itself in November. It's one of our goals to make sure that all volunteers know that there is a place for them in the Fundraising drive. We've started the setup on meta for both banner submission, statistical analysis, and grouping volunteers together that would like to find specific focus and work in that area.

This year the Wikimedia Foundation is taking a proactive stance in reaching out to each and every Wikimedia project and volunteer to find innovation, collaboration, and collation of ideas from the community driven process. The staff working on this is comprised of long-time Wikimedians with as much care and concern for the success of this drive as the volunteers, and we want you to actively participate and have a voice.

Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us. Engagement is what we strive for, without each other we would never had made Wikimedia succeed. Everyone is welcome to contact any of us on staff at any time with a timely response to follow. We actively encourage focusing discussion on meta so we can all work together.

Please translate this message into your language if you can and post it below.

See you on the wiki! Keegan, WMF Fundraiser 2010 03:12 13 set 2010 (UTC)

Call for image filter referendum

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at Meta:Image filter referendum shortly.

Sorry for delivering you a message in English. Please help translate the pages on the referendum on Meta and join the translators mailing list.

Terms of Use update

I apologize that you are receiving this message in English. Please help translate it.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is discussing changes to its Terms of Use. The discussion can be found at Talk:Terms of use. Everyone is invited to join in. Because the new version of Terms of use is not in final form, we are not able to present official translations of it. Volunteers are welcome to translate it, as German volunteers have done at m:Terms of use/de, but we ask that you note at the top that the translation is unofficial and may become outdated as the English version is changed.

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

• Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
• New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
• The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
• Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
• Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
• Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
• The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
• More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
• Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
• Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
• Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 23:55 14 chi 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki 1.19

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki (the software powering this wiki) to its latest version this month.

Update on IPv6

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the full version of this announcement on Meta)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.

What this means for your project:

• At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334". See e.g. w:en:IPv6 address. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See the full version of this announcement for notes on range blocks.)

• In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6.

• We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.

Read the full version of this announcement on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

2011 Picture of the Year competition

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2011. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!

Detailed information about the contest can be found at the introductory page.

About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during 2011 and are now called Featured Pictures.

From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons Features Pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories.

We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.

See you on Commons! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 18:01 5 chun 2012 (UTC)

Mobile view as default view coming soon

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the instructions on Meta)

The mobile view of this project and others will soon become the default view on mobile devices (except tablets). Some language versions of these projects currently show no content on the mobile home page, and it is a good time to do a little formatting so users get a mobile-friendly view, or to add to existing mobile content if some already exists.

If you are an administrator, please consider helping with this change. There are instructions which are being translated. The proposed date of switching the default view is June 21.

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

Hi,

As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.

Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

Request for Comment: Legal Fees Assistance Program

I apologize for addressing you in English. I would be grateful if you could translate this message into your language.

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a request for comment on a proposed program that could provide legal assistance to users in specific support roles who are named in a legal complaint as a defendant because of those roles. We wanted to be sure that your community was aware of this discussion and would have a chance to participate in that discussion.

If this page is not the best place to publicize this request for comment, please help spread the word to those who may be interested in participating. (If you'd like to help translating the "request for comment", program policy or other pages into your language and don't know how the translation system works, please come by my user talk page at m:User talk:Mdennis (WMF).

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)

As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.

The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:

1. language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
3. lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)

It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.

For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :) If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

Be a Wikimedia fundraising "User Experience" volunteer!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered last year on the Wikimedia fundraising 'User Experience' project. We have talked to many different people in different countries and their feedback has helped us immensely in restructuring our pages. If you haven't heard of it yet, the 'User Experience' project has the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries (outside the USA) and enhancing the localization of our donation pages.

I am (still) searching for volunteers to spend some time on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

Wikimedia sites to move to primary data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Read-only mode expected.

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) Next week, the Wikimedia Foundation will transition its main technical operations to a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. This is intended to improve the technical performance and reliability of all Wikimedia sites, including this wiki. There will be some times when the site will be in read-only mode, and there may be full outages; the current target windows for the migration are January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2013, from 17:00 to 01:00 UTC (see other timezones on timeanddate.com). More information is available in the full announcement.

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons.

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Proposal of a pronunciation recording tool

Hello, Rahul21, a developer, offers to develop a pronunciation recording tool for Wiktionary, helped by Michael Dale as part of GSoC. The tool would allow to record and add audio pronunciations to Wiktionary entries while browsing them (see background discussion on Wiktionary-l). Please read and comment the proposal!

¡Hola!

Hay una nueva solicitud de comentarios en Meta-Wiki sobre la retirada de los derechos administrativos a wikimedistas inactivos durante largo tiempo. Esta propuesta se aplicaría a los proyectos que no tienen un proceso de revisión propio.

Estamos listando los proyectos con procedimientos locales de remoción de permisos a administradores inactivos en la página de discusión de la solicitud de comentarios. No dude en agregar su(s) proyecto(s) a la lista si poseen una política de inactividad de administradores.

Todos los comentarios se aprecian. La discusión podría cerrarse el 21 de mayo de 2013 (21/05/2013), pero esta fecha se ampliará si fuera necesario.

Gracias, Billinghurst (thanks to all the translators!) 04:16 24 abr 2013 (UTC)

[en] Change to wiki account system and account renaming

Some accounts will soon be renamed due to a technical change that the developer team at Wikimedia are making. More details on Meta.

[en] Change to section edit links

The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.

Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.
