VisualEditor News #1—2015
Od czasu wydania ostatniego newslettera zespół Editing naprawił wiele bugów, pracował nad wyglądem VisualEditora, nadchodzącym narzędziem cytowania Citoid oraz nad zastosowaniem VisualEditora do skomplikowanych systemów pisma. Raporty o stanie obecnym są zamieszczane na on mediawiki.org. Planowane działania opisuje się w harmonogramie.
Wikimedia Foundation określiła priorytetowe zadania na ten kwartał (od stycznia do marca). Pierwszym jest przygotowanie VisualEditora na włączenie go wszystkim nowym użytkownikom oraz niezalogowanym na dużych Wikipediach. Możesz pomóc w określaniu wymagań tego kroku. Od środy, 11 lutego o godz. 12:00 PST (20:00 UTC) rozpoczną się cotygodniowe spotkania, otwarte dla wolontariuszy. Powiedz Wiceprzewodniczącemu Engineering Damonowi Sicore, Product Managerowi Jamesowi Forresterowi oraz reszcie zespołu, które bugi i funkcje są dla ciebie najważniejsze. Decyzje podjęte w trakcie tych spotkań rozstrzygną, jaka praca jest potrzebna do realizacji zadań przyjętych na ten kwartał. Szczególnie mile widziana jest obecność wolontariuszy edytujących w wikikodzie. Informacje o sposobach dołączenia do spotkań będą ogłaszane na portalu na krótko przed rozpoczęciem spotkań.
Z powodu istotnych zmian w MobileFrontendzie i VisualEditorze, przez kilka dni na początku stycznia VisualEditor nie działał poprawnie w wersji mobilnej. Zespoły przepraszają za problem.
Ostatnie poprawki
Nowy design VisualEditora jest zgodny ze frontendowym standardem określonym przez zespół Design. Opublikowano kilka nowych wersji dokumentacji OOjs UI, zastosowanej w VisualEditorze i innych rozszerzeniach MediaWiki. Większość zmian była drobna, jak zmiana wielkości tekstu i ilości pustej przestrzeni w niektórych oknach. Przyciski mają spójnie określony kolor, zależny od akcji:
- rozpoczęcie nowego zadania, jak otwarcie okna ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽: niebieski ,
- podjęcie konstruktywnej decyzji, jak wstawienie przypisu: zielony ,
- usunięcie albo rezygnacja z zadania, jak usunięcie linku: czerwony , albo
- neutralna akcja, jak otwarcie linku w nowym oknie: szary .
Edytor TemplateData został napisany od nowa w celu użycia innego designu, korzystającego z tego samego systemu OOjs UI, co VisualEditor. (T67815, T73746.) Ta zmiana naprawiła kilka bugów i polepszyła użyteczność. (T73077, T73078.)
Narzędzie Znajdź i zamień w długich dokumentach jest szybsze. Nie podświetla każdego trafienia, jeżeli jest ich ponad sto na ekranie.(T78234.)
Twórcy hebrajskiej i rosyjskiej Wikipedii wystąpili z wnioskami o włączenie VisualEditora w przestrzeni nazw Brudnopis. (T86688, T87027.) Jeżeli twoja społeczność chce, aby VisualEditor był włączony w następnej przestrzeni nazw na twojej wiki, możesz zgłosić wniosek w Phabricatorze. Prosimy, załącz link do dyskusji na temat wnioskowanej zmiany.
Patrząc w przyszłość
Zespół Editing niedługo włączy funkcję autouzupełniania cytowań. Citoid pobiera URL lub DOI rzetelnego źródła i zwraca uzupełniony, sformatowany przypis bibliograficzny. Po dodaniu przypisu będzie można zmienić lub dodać dane w przypisie w taki sam sposób, w jaki edytuje się w VisualEditorze każdy istniejący przypis. Planowane jest wsparcie ISBN, PMID i innych identyfikatorów. W późniejszym czasie użytkownicy będą mogli zmieniać dane każdej strony zapamiętywane przez Citoid, poprawiając precyzję i zmniejszając potrzebę każdorazowego ręcznego poprawiania.
Będziemy potrzebowali pomocy użytkowników w testowaniu nowego designu wstawiania znaków specjalnych, szczególnie jeżeli znasz walijski, bretoński albo inny język, który często używa znaków diakrytycznych lub znaków specjalnych. [Przyp. tłum.: wydaje się, że polski też się zalicza.] Nowa wersja powinna być dostępna do testowania za kilka tygodni. Skontaktuj się z Whatamidoing (WMF), jeżeli chcesz być powiadomiony o terminie. Po tym, jak zostaną zakończone prace nad narzędziem do znaków specjalnych, VisualEditor zostanie włączony wszystkim użytkownikom na Wikipediach fazy 5. Dotyczy to ok. 50 średnich i małych Wikipedii, w tym Afrikaans, azerbejdżańskiej, bretońskiej, kirgijskiej, macedońskiej, mongolskiej, tatarskiej i walijskiej. Termin włączenia nie został jeszcze ustalony.
Pracujmy razem
- Podziel się pomysłami i zadaj pytania na stronie mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
- Prosimy, pomóż dokończyć tłumaczenie instrukcji użytkownika.
- Dołącz do cotygodniowych spotkań rozpoczynających się w środę, 11 lutego o 12:00 (w południe) PST (20:00 UTC); informacje o sposobach dołączenia do spotkań będą ogłaszane na portalu na krótko przed rozpoczęciem spotkań. Możesz się też skontaktować z Jamesem F., jeżeli chcesz się dowiedzieć więcej o tej inicjatywie.

Stypendia na Wikimanię
Do 10 marca można składać wnioski o stypendium Stowarzyszenia Wikimedia Polska na udział w Wikimanii 2015, która odbędzie się od 15 do 19 lipca w mieście Meksyk. Generalnie zasady przyznawania stypendiów są bardzo podobne do ubiegłorocznych, podobnie procedura aplikacyjna, natomiast ze względu na dość egzotyczne miejsce i związane z tym wyższe koszty, w tym roku mamy tylko 8 miejsc dla edytorów z Polski. Tylko osiem lub aż osiem - ktoś je przecież dostanie i to możesz być też Ty :) Szczegóły tutaj. Zapraszam, sekretarz Komisji Stypendialnej Powerek38 (dyskusja) 20:18, 23 lut 2015 (CET)

25,000 articles logo milestone
I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.
Hello, I prepared new logos to celebrate important Wikiquote milestones: File:Wikiquote-logo-pl-25000.png. We use 20k version on Italian Wikiquote, now [1]. Bye --FRacco (talk) 02:45, 26 lut 2015 (CET)
Ciao, Fabio. Thank you. Jadwigadyskusja 16:20, 26 lut 2015 (CET)
25.000
Wczoraj przekroczyliśmy 25.000 artykułów, jako pierwszy projekt ze wszystkich Wikiquote. Gratulacje dla wszystkich, jest to efekt naszej wspólnej pracy, edytorów obecnych i dawniejszych. Mamy nawet gwiazdki okolicznościowe, które nam Fabio przygotował. A do szczęścia brakuje tylko admina, który by je umiał zawiesić. Ja niestety nie potrafię. Zmarnowałam sporo czasu od wczoraj, aby się z tym uporać, zasięgałam porady u doświadczonego admina, któremu kiedyś odebraliście uprawnienia. On też zmarnował czas na tłumaczenie mi, bo sam nie może tego teraz zrobić. I jest jeszcze kilka takich technicznych spraw, na których się nie znam. A krzykacze - pomysłodawcy odbierania uprawnień dawno temu poszli. Jadwigadyskusja 14:54, 27 lut 2015 (CET)
W zasadzie to zawieszam swoje uprawnienia. Jadwigadyskusja 14:56, 27 lut 2015 (CET)
- A ja właśnie chciałem zapytać czemu gwiazdki nie wiszą. Wydawałoby się, że to proste powinno być, ale skoro się nie udało, to widać tak nie jest. Ja jestem tym pomysłodawcą odbierania, który nie odszedł. Kiedyś upierałem się, żeby mi odebrać i teraz odzyskać nie mogę, choć chcę. Myślałem, że na początku marca złożę wniosek, tak żeby pół roku minęło od poprzedniego wniosku. Cieszyłbym się gdyby więcej chętnych było. Zerо πiσ 18:46, 28 lut 2015 (CET)

Stewards confirmation rules
Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep.

VisualEditor News #2—2015
Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's performance, the Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.
The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at 11:00 (noon) PDT (18:00 UTC). You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the Editing team's Q4 blocker project with the bug. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal.
Recent improvements
VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and network speed by almost 40%.
The Editing team is slowly adding auto-fill features for citations. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.
Citoid requires good TemplateData for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
The special character inserter has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the Phase 5 list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh.
Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use input method editors ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.
The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the "packed" mode in image galleries. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.
You can now drag and drop categories to re-arrange their order of appearance on the page.
The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.
Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.
Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (T90734)
Looking ahead
The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted at mediawiki.org.
The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon. (T90666)

This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.
Greetings,
I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.
This year, elections are being held for the following roles:
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.
Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.
Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.
The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.
Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core
Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.
There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.
Thank you,
The Pywikibot development team, 19:30, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming
(Sorry for writing in English)
When using data from Wikidata on Wikipedia and other sister projects, there is currently a limitation in place that hinders some use cases: data can only be accessed from the corresponding item. So, for example, the Wikipedia article about Berlin can only get data from the Wikidata item about Berlin but not from the item about Germany. This had technical reasons. We are now removing this limitation. It is already done for a number of projects. Your project is one of the next ones:
- 11 June 2015: all Wikiquote, all remaining Wikivoyage
- 15 June 2015: Wikipedias: ar, ca, es, hu, ko, ro, uk, vi
We invite you to play around with this new feature if you are one of the people who have been waiting for this for a long time. If you have technical issues/questions with this you can come to d:Wikidata:Contact the development team.
How to use it, once it is enabled:
- Parser function: {{#property:P36|from=Q183}} to get the capital from the item about Germany
- Lua: see mw:Extension:Wikibase Client/Lua
I hope it will be helpful for you and allow you to do useful things with the help of Wikidata.
VisualEditor News #3—2015
Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has created new interfaces for the link and citation tools and fixed many bugs and changed some elements of the design. Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.
A test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors at the English Wikipedia has just completed the first phase. During this test, half of newly registered editors had VisualEditor automatically enabled, and half did not. The main goal of the study is to learn which group was more likely to save an edit and to make productive, unreverted edits. Initial results will be posted at Meta later this month.
Recent improvements
Auto-fill features for citations are available at a few Wikipedias through the citoid service. Citoid takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto⧽, ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual⧽, or ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse⧽). The cite button is now labeled with the word "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "⧼Citoid-citeFromIDDialog-lookup-button⧽", for the submit button.
The link tool has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector. (T98085)
The special character inserter in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list at mediawiki.org. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (T70425)
Several improvements have been made to templates. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽" each time they want to add another parameter. (T95696) The team added a new property for TemplateData, "Przykład", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (T53049)
The design of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.
The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of non-existent images. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.

HTTPS
Apologies for writing in English.
Hi everyone.
Over the last few years, the Wikimedia Foundation has been working towards enabling HTTPS by default for all users, including unregistered ones, for better privacy and security for both readers and editors. This has taken a long time, as there were different aspects to take into account. Our servers haven't been ready to handle it. The Wikimedia Foundation has had to balance sometimes conflicting goals.
Forced HTTPS has just been implemented on all Wikimedia projects. Some of you might already be aware of this, as a few Wikipedia language versions were converted to HTTPS last week and the then affected communities were notified.
Most of Wikimedia editors shouldn't be affected at all. If you edit as registered user, you've probably already had to log in through HTTPS. We'll keep an eye on this to make sure everything is working as it should. Do get in touch with us if you have any problems after this change or contact me if you have any other questions.

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images
There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)
This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (dyskusja) 07:07, 24 lip 2015 (CEST)

Hi,
The Community Engagement department at the Wikimedia Foundation has launched a new learning campaign. The WMF wants to record community impressions about what makes a healthy online community.
Share your views and/or create a drawing and take a chance to win a Wikimania 2016 scholarship!
Join the WMF as we begin a conversation about Community Health. Contribute a drawing or answer the questions on the campaign's page.
Why get involved?
The world is changing. The way we relate to knowledge is transforming. As the next billion people come online, the Wikimedia movement is working to bring more users on the wiki projects. The way we interact and collaborate online are key to building sustainable projects. How accessible are Wikimedia projects to newcomers today? Are we helping each other learn?
Share your views on this matter that affects us all!
We invite everyone to take part in this learning campaign. Wikimedia Foundation will distribute one Wikimania Scholarship 2016 among those participants who are eligible.
More information
- All participants must have a registered user of at least one month antiquity on any Wikimedia project before the starting date of the campaign.
- All eligible contributions must be done until August 23, 2015 at 23:59 UTC

Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team have been working on mobile phone support. They have fixed many bugs and improved language support. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving language support and functionality on mobile devices.
Wikimania
The team attended Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City. There they participated in the Hackathon and met with individuals and groups of users. They also made several presentations about VisualEditor and the future of editing.
Following Wikimania, we announced winners for the VisualEditor 2015 Translathon. Our thanks and congratulations to users Halan-tul, Renessaince, जनक राज भट्ट (Janak Bhatta), Vahe Gharakhanyan, Warrakkk, and Eduardogobi.
For interface messages (translated at translatewiki.net), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (+21.7%). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).
For documentation messages (on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (+20.3%). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).
We published some graphs showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.
Recent improvements
Auto-fill features for citations can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the citoid service to convert a URL or DOI into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, simple process at mediawiki.org. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the instructions at mediawiki.org.
Your wiki can customize the first section of the special character inserter in VisualEditor. Please follow the instructions at mediawiki.org to put the characters you want at the top. In other changes, if you need to fill in a CAPTCHA and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit Vega-based graphs. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.
Future changes
The team will be changing the appearance of selected links inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A recent controlled trial showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.
Let's work together
- Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page is now using Flow instead of LiquidThreads.
- Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at mediawiki.org if you can help.
- If your wiki would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace, you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
- Please file requests for language-appropriate "Pogrubienie" and "Kursywa" icons for the styling menu in Phabricator.
- The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.
- The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

Autorzy cytatów z gier komputerowych
Wpadłem na jeden ze stworzonych przez siebie artykułów, Prince of Persia, w którym zauważyłem informację dotyczącą braku autora cytatów. No i tutaj pytanie: co podawać w przypadku gier komputerowych, skoro w ogromnej ilości przypadków autorzy polskiej wersji są nieznani? CD Projekt miał w zwyczaju kiedyś dodawać do gier instrukcje, drukowane albo/i w formacie *.pdf, w których podawane były osoby odpowiedzialne za polską wersję, w tym tłumacze i dialogiści, ale obecnie CD Projekt wydaje niewiele gier, a pozostali wydawcy nie mają w zwyczaju podawać w jakiejkolwiek formie osób odpowiedzialnych za polską wersję. W przypadku dużych wydawców, jak Electronic Arts czy Ubisoft, można liczyć co najwyżej na informację o nazwie studia odpowiedzialnego za tłumaczenie bądź realizację dubbingu, wymienioną razem z innymi wersjami językowymi. Jeżeli idzie o wspomniane Prince of Persia to poza obsadą i nazwą studia, w którym realizowano dubbing, nie wiadomo nic o tłumaczach i dialogistach, a z tego co się orientuję, tłumaczenie robi biuro tłumaczeń niepowiązane ze studiem nagraniowym, w którym co najwyżej odpowiednie osoby mogą (ale nie muszą, bo mogą to też robić tłumacze z biura) podesłane surowe tłumaczenia „zamieniać” na dialogi. Pottero (dyskusja) 00:26, 22 sie 2015 (CEST)
- Powody dla których nie podano autorów cytatu są dla mnie jasne: nie są oni znani i przy dołożeniu należytej staranności nie da się ich ustalić. Szablon umieściła użytkowniczka, która musiała mieć bardziej rygorystyczne podejście. Jakiś czas temu wycofała się ze współtworzenia i szanse, że odpowie są minimalne.

VisualEditor News #5—2015
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs, added new features, and made some small design changes. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages like Japanese and Arabic, making it easier to edit on mobile devices, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
Recent improvements
Educational features: The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the Link and ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽ tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (T108620) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (T112354) More in-software educational features are planned.
Links: It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (T74108, T91285) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (T109498, T110347, T63558) These "magic links" use a custom link editing tool.
Uploads: Registered editors can now upload images and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "Wstaw Grafika i multimedia" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.
Mobile: Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (T85630) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (T111894) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "Usuń" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (T62110) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.
Rich editing tools: You can now add and edit sheet music in the visual editor. (T112925) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (T114227, T113354) When editing formulæ and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of graphs; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.
On the English Wikipedia, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under Special:Preferences.
Future changes
You will soon be able to switch from the wikitext to the visual editor after you start editing. (T49779) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a single edit tab. (T102398) This project will combine the "Edytuj" and "Edytuj kod źródłowy" tabs into a single "Edytuj" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Edytuj" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.
Let's work together
- Share your ideas and ask questions at VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page uses Flow for discussions.
- Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).
- Local admins can set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki. If you need help, then please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
- The weekly task triage meetings are open to volunteers. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

Community Wishlist Survey
Hi everyone! Apologies for posting in English. Translations are very welcome.
The Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is focused on building improved curation and moderation tools for experienced Wikimedia contributors. We're now starting a Community Wishlist Survey to find the most useful projects that we can work on.
For phase 1 of the survey, we're inviting all active contributors to submit brief proposals, explaining the project that you'd like us to work on, and why it's important. Phase 1 will last for 2 weeks. In phase 2, we'll ask you to vote on the proposals. Afterwards, we'll analyze the top 10 proposals and create a prioritized wishlist.
While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English.
Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button. We will be accepting proposals for 2 weeks, ending on November 23.
We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!
Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed
Hello! Wikimania 2016 scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see Scholarship committee for details.
If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

Domena Wikiquote.pl
Dawno nie było nic w języku polskim, więc ten post wprowadzi trochę różnorodności.
Bardziej doświadczeni użytkownicy pamiętają może, że domena internetowa wikiquote.pl była przez wiele lat zarejestrowana przez firmę zajmującą się cybersquattingiem, tj. kupowaniem domen w celu odsprzedania ich z zyskiem. Kilka lat temu wyszedłem z wnioskiem do Stowarzyszenia Wikimedia Polska o odzyskanie polskich domen zawierających nazwy projektów Wikimedia, jednak uzyskałem odpowiedź odmowną i domena wikiquote.pl musiała czekać na swoją kolej.
Wobec tego z radością informuję, że dzisiaj udało mi się odzyskać tę domenę. W tym momencie kieruje ona do strony głównej Wikicytatów, tj. http://pl.wikiquote.org i jest w pełni moją własnością, jednak w bliskiej przyszłości, o ile będzie to możliwe, planuję podarować ją Wikimedia Foundation tak, żeby ta organizacja mogła opiekować się nią przez jak najdłuższy czas. Z pozdrowieniami, odder (dyskusja) 17:48, 15 lis 2015 (CET)
- Zgodnie z powyższym dzisiaj przekazałem domenę na rzecz Wikimedia Foundation. odder (dyskusja) 18:57, 23 lis 2015 (CET)
To wspaniała wiadomość, dziękujemy :-) Człowiek zapędzony codziennością, również tą wiki (ona też ma swoją rutynę), nie widzi nawet, jak ważne rzeczy się dzieją i że aby się zadziały, potrzeba takich ludzi, jak Odder, którzy widzą i pilnują. Co nie jest łatwe, zwłaszcza, że to działanie długofalowe, bez poklasku i poparcia. I szlachetność gestu, bo teraz to Ty mogłeś zostać właścicielem domeny :-) Jesteś wielki.

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.
Hi everyone,
This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.
As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.
We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.
Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.
(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)
Thank you for your participation!

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.
As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!
People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.
Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:
- Join/host an event. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
- Talk to local press. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a handy summary of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a press release template and resources on working with the media, are also available.
- Design a Wikipedia 15 logo. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
- Share a message on social media. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!
Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.
If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.
Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!

VisualEditor News #6—2015
Did you know?
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Since the last newsletter, the visual editor team has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
Recent improvements
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. The LaTeX mathematics formula editor has been significantly expanded. (T118616) You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code. You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.
Future changes
The single edit tab project will combine the "Edytuj" and "Edytuj kod źródłowy" tabs into a single "Edytuj" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398, T58337) Initially, the "Edytuj" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the Edycja tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Tryb edycji:".
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016: Amharic, Buginese, Min Dong, Cree, Manx, Hakka, Armenian, Georgian, Pontic, Serbo-Croatian, Tigrinya, Mingrelian, Zhuang, and Min Nan. (T116523) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.
In 2016, the feedback pages for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. (T92661)
Testing opportunities
- Please try the new system for the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences. Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at the feedback topic on mediawiki.org or sign up for formal user research (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
- Zapamiętaj ostatnio używany edytor,
- Zawsze uruchamiaj edytor wizualny, gdy to możliwe,
- Zawsze uruchamiaj edytor kodu źródłowego, and
- Pokaż obie zakładki edycji. (This is the current state for people already using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
- Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).

2016 WMF Strategy consultation
- Pomóż przetłumaczyć na Twój język
Hello, all.
The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)
Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.
Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)
If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to mdennis@wikimedia.org.
I hope you'll join us! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery (dyskusja) 20:06, 18 sty 2016 (CET)
IPki do odbanowania
Przeglądałem z ciekawości wasz rejestr blokad. Znalazłem jedenaście zablokowanych na zawsze adresów IP [2]. Najczęściej kwestią są wandalizmy sprzed lat. Tak naprawdę część adresów zmienia właścicieli regularnie. Inne są stałe, ale po kilku latach ktoś może się przeprowadzić albo zmienić operatora. IP to przecież nie jest konto ani konkretny człowiek. To tylko łącze. Ne dużych projektach nawet zakazane Open Proxy blokuje się na rok, kilka lat, ale nie na zawsze. Ponadto trzykrotnie dynamiczny IP został potraktowany jak konto o za długiej nazwie i zbanowany, co jest absurdalne. Proponuję się temu przyjrzeć. Cybularny (dyskusja) 19:27, 8 lut 2016 (CET)

No editing two times this week
Wikimedia Foundation będzie testowała swoją nową serwerownię w Dallas. Upewni to nas, że Wikipedia i inne strony Wikimedia będą zawsze online, nawet w przypadku kataklizmu. Aby upewnić się, że wszystko działa, departament Technologii Wikimedia musi przeprowadzić zaplanowany test. Pokaże on, czy są w stanie przełączyć się z jednej serwerowni na inną. Wymaga to przygotowań do testu przez wiele zespołów i ich dostępności w celu naprawy jakichkolwiek nieprzewidzianych problemów.
Cały ruch zostanie przełączony na nową serwerownię we wtorek 19 kwietnia.
We czwartek 21 kwietnia przełączą z powrotem na podstawową serwerownię.
Niestety, z powodu niektórych ograniczeń w MediaWiki, wszystkie operacje edycyjne muszą zostać przerwane podczas tych dwóch przełączeń. Przepraszamy za te utrudnienia. Będziemy pracować nad tym, aby je zminimalizować w przyszłości.
Każdą wiki przez krótki czas będzie można tylko czytać, ale nie edytować.
- Nie będzie możliwe wykonywanie edycji przez około 15–30 minut we wtorek 19 kwietnia oraz we czwartek 21 kwietnia, począwszy od godziny 14:00 UTC (16:00 CEST).
- Jeżeli będziesz próbował edytować lub zapisywać podczas tych okresów, zobaczysz komunikat błędu. Mamy nadzieję, że żadne edycje nie zostaną utracone podczas tego czasu, ale nie możemy tego zagwarantować. Jeżeli zauważysz komunikat o błędzie, poczekaj aż wszystko wróci do normy. Wtedy będzie możliwość zapisania swoich zmian. Zalecamy jednak zrobienie kopii swoich zmian na wszelki wypadek.
Inne skutki:
- Zadania w tle będą wolniejsze, a niektóre mogą być przerywane. Czerwone linki mogą nie być aktualizowane tak szybko jak zwykle. Jeżeli utworzysz artykuł, do którego gdzieś prowadzi jakiś link to ten link będzie dłużej czerwony niż zwykle. Część skryptów uruchamiających się na dłużej zostaną zatrzymane.
- Będzie zamrożenie kodu w tygodniu obejmującym 18 kwietnia. Nie będą miały miejsca wdrożenia kodu o małym znaczeniu.
Ten test początkowo był zaplanowany na 22 marca. 19 i 21 kwietnia są nowymi datami. Możesz zapoznać się z harmonogramem na wikitech.wikimedia.org. Będą tam umieszczane każde zmiany w harmonogramie. Będzie więcej powiadomień na ten temat. Prosimy, podziel się tą informacją ze swoją społecznością. /Johan (WMF) (dyskusja) 00:39, 18 kwi 2016 (CEST)
Compact Links coming soon to this wiki
Pomóż przetłumaczyć na Twój język
Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki, which you may already seen in the latest issue of Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the coming week for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.
Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you. On behalf of the Wikimedia Language team: Runa Bhattacharjee (WMF) (talk) 16:01, 24 cze 2016 (CEST)
Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today
Pomóż przetłumaczyć na Twój język
Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.
From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages
The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).

Editing News #2—2016

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.
Recent changes
The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.
The single edit tab feature combines the "Edytuj" and "Edytuj kod źródłowy" tabs into a single "Edytuj" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Edycja" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.
Future changes
The "Zapisz" button will say "Opublikuj stronę". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.
The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966)
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.
Let's work together
- Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.
- Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Watch the Tech Talk by Sebastian Karcher for more information.

Save/Publish
The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Zapisz” button to “Opublikuj stronę” and “Opublikuj zmiany”. “Opublikuj stronę” will be used when you create a new page. “Opublikuj zmiany” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[3][4]
This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.
If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for “Opublikuj stronę” and “Opublikuj zmiany”.
The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that “Zapisz” would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “Zapisz” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem.
Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise.
Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes {{int:Publishpage}}
and {{int:Publishchanges}}
to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in your account preferences, these wikitext codes produce “Opublikuj stronę” and “Opublikuj zmiany”.
Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.
Recent changes
- You can now set text as small or big.[5]
- Invisible templates have been shown as a puzzle icon. Now, the name of the invisible template is displayed next to the puzzle icon.[6] A similar feature will display the first part of hidden HTML comments.[7]
- Categories are displayed at the bottom of each page. If you click on the categories, the dialog for editing categories will open.[8]
- At many wikis, you can now add maps to pages. Go to the Insert menu and choose the "Maps" item. The Discovery department is adding more features to this area, like geoshapes. You can read more at mediawiki.org.[9]
- The "Save" button now says "Save page" when you create a page, and "Save changes" when you change an existing page.[10] In the future, the "Zapisz" button will say "Opublikuj stronę". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
- Image galleries now use a visual mode for editing. You can see thumbnails of the images, add new files, remove unwanted images, rearrange the images by dragging and dropping, and add captions for each image. Use the "Options" tab to set the gallery's display mode, image sizes, and add a title for the gallery.[11]
Future changes
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org.

Proszę zresetować hasło (Please reset your password)
Zauważyliśmy problem z próbami przejęcia kont użytkowników ze specjalnymi uprawnieniami (na przykład administratorów, biurokratów, rewizorów czy checkuserów). Wygląda, że mogło to być spowodowane wykorzystaniem słabych lub uzywanych w również w innych miejscach haseł.
Społeczność pracuje, wraz z zespołami Fundacji, nad rozwiązaniem problemu.
W międzyczasie prosimy wszystkich o sprawdzenie haseł wykorzystywanych do kont wiki. Jeśli wiesz, że używasz słabego hasła lub takiego, którego używasz równiez w innych serwisach, prosimy o jego zmianę.
Wybierz mocne hasło -- co najmniej osiem znaków w tym litery, cyfry i znaki specjalne. Joe Sutherland (dyskusja) / MediaWiki message delivery (dyskusja) 00:46, 14 lis 2016 (CET)
New way to edit wikitext
Summary: There's a new opt-in Beta Feature of a wikitext mode for the visual editor. Please go try it out.
We in the Wikimedia Foundation's Editing department are responsible for making editing better for all our editors, new and experienced alike. We've been slowly improving the visual editor based on feedback, user tests, and feature requests. However, that doesn't work for all our user needs: whether you need to edit a wikitext talk page, create a template, or fix some broken reference syntax, sometimes you need to use wikitext, and many experienced editors prefer it.
Consequently, we've planned a "wikitext mode" for the visual editor for a long time. It provides as much of the visual editor's features as possible, for those times that you need or want wikitext. It has the same user interface as the visual editor, including the same toolbar across the top with the same buttons. It provides access to the citoid service for formatting citations, integrated search options for inserting images, and the ability to add new templates in a simple dialog. Like in the visual editor, if you paste in formatted text copied from another page, then formatting (such as bolding) will automatically be converted into wikitext.
All wikis now have access to this mode as a Beta Feature. When enabled, it replaces your existing wikitext editor everywhere. If you don't like it, you can reverse this at any time by turning off the Beta Feature in your preferences. We don't want to surprise anyone, so it's strictly an opt-in-only Beta Feature. It won't switch on automatically for anyone, even if you have previously checked the box to "Automatycznie włączaj większość funkcji eksperymentalnych".
The new wikitext edit mode is based on the visual editor, so it requires JavaScript (as does the current wikitext editor). It doesn't work with gadgets that have only been designed for the older one (and vice versa), so some users will miss gadgets they find important. We're happy to work with gadget authors to help them update their code to work with both editors. We're not planning to get rid of the current main wikitext editor on desktop in the foreseeable future. We're also not going to remove the existing ability to edit plain wikitext without JavaScript. Finally, though it should go without saying, if you prefer to continue using the current wikitext editor, then you may so do.
This is an early version, and we'd love to know what you think so we can make it better. Please leave feedback about the new mode on the feedback page. You may write comments in any language. Thank you.
