Leeuwarden / Friesland Culturele Hoofdstad op Wikipedia
(Excuses voor mijn niet-Friese bijdrage)
Beste bewerker,
Zoals je ongetwijfeld weet zijn Leeuwarden / Friesland dit jaar Europese Culturele Hoofdstad. Vanuit Wikimedia Nederland denken wij momenteel na over mogelijkheden om hier ook op Wikimedia/Wikimedia Commons/Wikidata aandacht aan te besteden. Eén van de activiteiten die we in ieder geval op de (Nederlandstalige) Wikipedia willen opzetten is een schrijfweek over Friesland, zoals in voorgaande jaren ook al over bijvoorbeeld Gelderland is georganiseerd (voorlopig gepland in oktober 2018). Het lijkt ons ook erg leuk om hier op één of andere manier de Friese Wikipedia-gemeenschap bij te betrekken. Als jij, of andere Friese Wikipedianen, ideeën hebt voor activiteiten die hier goed bij zouden kunnen aansluiten, dan zijn wij daar benieuwd naar!
Met vriendelijke groet, --AWossink (oerlis) 11 jan 2018, 13.37 (CET)
Tradisjoneel of tradysjoneel
Neffens ús, de Staversma’s, kin tradisjoneel foar de SJ net mei in Y skreaun wurde. Wy hawwe de lêste tiid yngreven yn ‘e wurdboeken socht, mar kinne dy foarm net fine. No kinne wy fansels in wurdboek mist hawwe … Dan lêze wy soks graach. S.Staversma (oerlis) 12 jan 2018, 09.29 (CET)
Protestantsk of protestansk
Foar de lêste fariant is mar ien plak te finen yn de digitale wurdboeken. By de bollestâl wurdt er fûn, mar dat liket ús in fersin te wêzen. Wolle oaren hjir ek ris efkes nei sjen. Rob. Staversma (oerlis) 1 maa 2018, 15.26 (CEST)
- Dan kin dy sûnder t der wol út! Rob. Staversma (oerlis) 17 maa 2018, 15.13 (CEST)
Editing News #1—2018

Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?
Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.
If you enable the Beta Feature for "Visual differences", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.
In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.
This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.
Recent changes
- The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
- The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges. [1]
- Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [2]
- The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up. Your wiki can have this service. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.
Let's work together
- The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
- Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
- The
<references />block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [3] - If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Thank you!

Sint-tsjerk
Ik sjoch wy hawwe no tsjerkesiden dy't Sint-Immentsjerke (earne) as titel hawwe, wat de formele namme is, en siden dy't Immentsjerke (earne) hawwe, wat de namme is dy't faak ta ûnderskie brûkt wurdt. Hawwe wy foarkoar foar it ien as it oar? Ik seach krekt in side dêr't in Fitustsjerke yn de titel "Sint" hie en dêrom by de kategoryen hieltiid fan namme feroare wurde moat, sadwaande. Mysha (oerlis)
- @Mysha: Ik wit net oft it wol hielendal sa is sa't jo it hjir foarstelle. Yn myn belibbing binne de foarmen mei 'Sint-' roomsk-katolyk of yn elts gefal fan oarsprong roomsk-katolyk, wylst in protte protestantske tsjerken dat diel fan 'e namme mei sin falle litten hawwe. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 21 mrt 2018, 19.40 (CET)
- It kin. Dit is wat ik as yndrok hie, mar fansels, at it oars is, haw ik der gjin perblemen mei. Hawwe wy ek earne in stikje oar nammen fan tsjerken? At wy der dan mar om tinke dat der dan twa soarten fan Maartenstsjerken komme, ensafuorthinne. Der wie dan ek in truukje by dy kategoryen de namme yn ien kear foar alle kategoryen oars opnimme te litten, is it net? Mysha (oerlis)
- Ik wit it fierders ek net. Dejinge dy't hjir de tsjerken almeast docht, is RomkeHoekstra, en ik haw de yndruk dat dy de nammen trou oernimt fan oars-talige Wikipedyen en/of út net-Wikipedyske boarnen. Hokfoar trúkje oft jo it oer hawwe, wit ik net. Ik wist dat oare, fan 'displaytitle' tafallich al, mar dit is my dan wer ûntkommen. Of bedoelen jo {{DEFAULTSORT:Efternamme, Foarnamme}}? Dat kinne jo by de kategoryen ûnderoan de side sette om te sortearjen op in oar diel fan 'e namme as dat foaroan stiet (by biografyen sortearje we sa op 'e efternamme), mar dat moat per artikel dien wurde. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 22 mrt 2018, 17.58 (CET)
- Ja, krekt, dat wie it. Ik haw it der op Wikipedy:Ferwizings byskeaun. No noch sjen wêr't dat truukje mei de titel by past.Mysha (oerlis)

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review
- Hello. Please help translate to your language. Thank you.
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc. ) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, --MarcoAurelio (oerlis) 9 apr 2018, 17.08 (CEST)
- Der is earne wat besletten oer meidoggers mei mear rjochten, mei gefolch dat lju dy't net aktyf binne dy rjochten ôfnaam wurde sille. Wolle wy dat, of wolle wy it sels dwaan? Mysha (oerlis)
- Minsken, ik stel fêst dat it ûnderwerp by ús net wichtich genôch fûn troch in mearderheid fan behearders om efkes in reaksje te jaan, útsein PiefPafPier dy't mei de fuotten stimd hat. Ik sil net op de twajierregel oanstean, wie ik ek nea fan doel, it hie om my ek oars mocht. Ik haw der dêrom gjin nocht oan my fierder oer de saak te bekroadzjen. It sil my oars wol benije oft dy 'stewards' fan bûten dien wurk meitsje sille. Drewes (oerlis) 28 apr 2018, 18.13 (CEST)
- Dizze lêste opmerking fan Drewes wie eefkes by my lâns gien; dêrfandinne myn lette reäksje. Ik slút my by Drewes oan as oaren har net dúdlik oankantsje tsjin dit belied fan Wikimedia. En mei dúdlik bedoel ik: even sûnder mitsen en marren oanjaan dat jim der op tsjin binne, en net fan "ik haw it der eins net sa op" of "it hie om my net hoegd, mar jim moatte it mar witte". As der gjin dúdlike beswieren komme, litte we it spul op syn berin, en dan moat it mar komme sa't it komt. Wa't it dêr beslist net mei iens is, moat nó wurk mei in reäksje meitsje. Komt der gjin reäksje mear, dan sil ik de diskusje as sletten beskôgje. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 7 maa 2018, 21.28 (CEST)
- Ik haw der nochris even oer neitocht, en ik wol op it boppesteande noch in koarte oanfolling jaan. We prate der hjir nammentlik oer as oft it ûntnaderjen fan 'e rjochten definityf en net werom te draaien wêze soe, mar dat is fansels net wier. As ien syn rjochten 'ferrinne' litte soe, en letter ynienen oanstriid (of de tiid) krije soe om him wer mei de Wikipedy dwaande te hâlden, dan kin dy persoan syn rjochten weromfreegje en ik sjoch net yn wêrom't sa'n oanfraach net honorearre wurde kinne soe.

- Drewes and Ieneach fan 'e Esk, can anyone please translate what wrote above in English or put a summary in English for this section? علاء (oerlis) 10 maa 2018, 18.23 (CEST)
- علاء: It's an internal discussion about the above policy, carried over from Drewes' talk page. Summarised it comes to this: Drewes and I, who are the primary active administrators of this Wikipedia, think the new policy is not a bad idea, although we would not have instigated it ourselves. Some of the other administrators, who are not as active on Wikipedia anymore, are not entirely pleased with the policy, but those few of them that took the trouble to make their feelings known (on Drewes' talk page) also indicated that they don't care enough about it to take matters into their own hands, so to speak; instead, Drewes and I were told we should make the decision regarding this policy. Above Drewes indicated that he didn't feel strongly one way or the other, but since most of the administrators who are less frequently active did not take the trouble to respond, even though Drewes pinged them and asked them to do so, he is not going to spend more time and energy on this issue than he already has. I myself have called on the other administrators one last time to react if they seriously disagree with the new policy. If they don't react this time, I will follow Drewes' lead and let the new policy take effect. In a post scriptum I added that while we are talking about this as if administrators who have not been active for two years will lose their rights forever, it is of course possible that if they ever again feel the urge or find the time to participate in the Wikipedia project more actively, they could ask to get their rights back, and I don't see why such a request should not by granted.

40.000
At ik it goed haw wie 2089 op 9 april 2018 de 40.000ste side. Net in side om grut oer yn de krante te skriuwen, mar dogge wy der noch wat oan? Moat der in pear dagen "De Fryske Wikipedy: De frije ensyklopedy mei mear as 40.000 siden!" op 'e Haadside, of soks? Mysha (oerlis)
Der hat immen in hiel soad fierders lege kalindersiden fuortsmiten, faaks om't it sa'n wurk wie en freegje ús. Dat, no hawwe wy wer 39.946 siden. Wolle wy der noch eat oan dwaan at wy wer de 40.000 helje? Mysha (oerlis)
No't wy Kategory:Lingtemjitte blykber net feroarje fan namme, haw ik dat rychje fan nanometer fierder, dat ik tasein hie, ek wier oanmakke. Ik haw der ek mar de Fryske jellen yn opnaam, doe't der 39.999 siden wienen. Dat, it is no wier safier. Dogge wy der noch wat oan? Mysha (oerlis)
- Ik soe sizze dat de Wikipedy wol (wer) ris wat omtinken fan de media hawwe mei. Stikje yn'e krante, sjoernaal Omrop Fryslân? Drewes (oerlis) 25 apr 2018, 14.28 (CEST)

Kabouterke
Wy hawwe in side Wikipedy:Siden wiskje, en wy hawwe ek in berjocht:Wiskwarskôging om oan te jaan dat dêr útsteld is in side fuort te smiten. It systeem wurket, mar op grutte wikipedys binne der kabouters dy't der foar soargje dat de list en de warskôgings syngroan bliuwe. By ús is it hânwurk, en lju fan dy oare wikipedys hawwe dêr net altiten erch yn. Is dat in perbleem en moate wy ek sa'n kabouter, of is it genôch dat immen út en troch ris sjocht hokfoar siden net op de list kaam binne? Mysha (oerlis)
- Soe handich wêze, mar ik leau dat it by ús wol te oersjen is en gjin probleem. It kin wêze dat ús in tal siden ûntkaam binne fansels, mar kinne noait net in protte wêze. Der binne hjir ommers hast alle dagen behearders en aktive meidoggers. Drewes (oerlis) 11 apr 2018, 17.28 (CEST)
Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias
Time to bring embedded maps (‘mapframe’) to most Wikipedias
Please help translate to your language
Mapframe is a feature that enables users to easily display interactive maps right on wiki pages. Currently, most Wikipedias don’t have mapframe. But fifteen Wikipedias, along with all the other Wikimedia projects, are using mapframe today to display maps on thousands of pages.
A little background: over the last few months, the Foundation’s Collaboration team has been working to improve the stability and user experience of the maps service. In addition, a question about long-term support for the maps service was recently settled, and a small team has been assigned for routine maintenance. Given these developments, bringing the benefits of mapframe to Wikipedias that lack the feature seems both safe and supportable. Nine Wikipedias that use a stricter version of Flagged Revisions will not get mapframe in this release.
Maps are a valuable form of visual data that can improve readers’ understanding across a wide range of topics. If you know of any reasons why mapframe shouldn’t be implemented on your Wikipedia, let us know on the project talk page. Unless we hear from you, we plan to release mapframe to most Wikipedias in May, 2018. So, if you foresee an issue, please let us hear from you. Otherwise, happy mapping!

Update on page issues on mobile web
Update on page issues on mobile web
Please help translate to your language Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.
So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:
- The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
- Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
- Readers care about page issues and consider them important
- Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues
Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

Consultation on the creation of a separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS
(Please help translate to your language)
Hi all,
I'm preparing a change in who can edit sitewide CSS/JS pages. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which are executed in the browser of all readers and editors.) Currently all administrators are able to edit these pages, which poses a serious and unnecessary security risk. Soon, a dedicated, smaller user group will take over this task. Your community will be able to decide who belongs in this group, so this should mean very little change for you. You can find out more and provide feedback at the consultation page on Meta. If you are involved in maintaining CSS/JS code, or policymaking around adminship requests, please give it a look!
Thanks!

New user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS
(Please help translate to your language)
Hi all!
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.)
A new user group, interface-admin, has been created.
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage).
You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).
Thanks!

Enabling a helpful feature for Template editors
Hello.
The team working on TemplateStyles at the Wikimedia Foundation would like to enable TemplateStyles on this wiki.
TemplateStyles is a feature to allow non-administrators to write and manage CSS styles for templates. It allows contributors who edit templates to separate content and presentation. A good web practice that makes it easier to manage the layout of templates. If you don't edit templates, this will not have any impact on your contributions.
TemplateStyles is useful for a few reasons.
- It makes it possible for templates to work better on mobile.
- It cuts out confusion on where to apply CSS rules.
- Editing CSS is currently limited to administrators, which is a major barrier to participation.
- All stylesheets must be loaded on all pages (whether they actually use the page or not), which wastes bandwidth and makes debugging style rules more difficult.
You can learn more about TemplateStyles on MediaWiki.org. Technical documentation is also available.
This is an optional feature and no one must use it, but template contributors are encouraged to do so! Please discuss and let us know if there are any concerns. If there are no concerns we will proceed to deploy the feature on the 9th of August.
Thank you.

Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now
(Please help translate to your language)
Hi all,
as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (Interface administrators) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.
Thanks!

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 12 September 2018. On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- There will be code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

Privacy
- Understeand oerlis komt fan de Oerlisside fan meidogger Ieneach fan de Esk. Der hat hjir noch net earder oerlis oer west begryp ik. Hoe wurdt hjiroer tocht troch oare meidoggers? Soe 'de mienskip' fan Wikipedy hjir ek ris oer meitinke wolle en in reaksje jaan wolle op ûndersteand oerlis? Frou Watzema (oerlis) 11 sep 2018, 18.53 (CEST)
Eala, Ieneach fan 'e Esk. Juster foegen jo hjir de namme fan in lytse poppe ta. No binne oare Wikipedia's tige efterhâldend mei it jaan fan ynformaasje yn sokke gefallen. Faaks wurdt sokke ynformaasje dan ek ferburgen troch moderators. I belang fan de minderjierrige stiet dan foarop, wat de heit en mem dogge moatte dy sels witte. Yn dit gefal joegen dy sels de ynformaasje frij. Hat oer de privacy fan minderjierrigen wolris oerlis west op Wikipedy? Hoe giet de mienskip fan de Fryske Wikipedy hjirmei om? Frou Watzema (oerlis) 9 sep 2018, 11.06 (CEST)
- @Frou Watzema: Goeie, Frou Watzema. Jo binne mis: ik haw de namme fan it bern net tafoege; dat wie Drewes. Ik haw der letter de bertedatum en in referinsje byset. Los dêrfan en yn Drewes syn ferdigening wol ik dêr noch wol even oan tafoegje dat ik de namme der ek byset hie as dy der op dat stuit noch net al by stien hie. Jo sizze it net mei safolle wurden, mar as ik by jo tusken de regels troch lês, begryp ik dat jo it leafst gjin persoansgegevens fan minderjierrigen yn 'e Wikipedy opnommen wurde sjogge. Yn prinsipe bin ik it dêr wol mei iens, mar yn dit gefal wie it sa (sa't josels ek al neame), dat de âlden sels de namme iepenbier makke hawwe. Ik haw it yn trije tillefyzjeprogramma's foarbykommen sjoen (sûnder dat ik der om socht), en it stie yn 'e Ljouwerter Krante, dêr't ik de referinsje wei hie, en sûnder mis sil it ek yn alle oare kranten en op gâns plakken op it ynternet fermelden wêze. Tsja, dan hat it fansels net mear in soad sin om roomser as de paus te wêze te wollen troch de namme hjir geheim te hâlden... Wat jo foarlêste fraach oangiet: nee, by myn witten hat oer dit ûnderwerp nea oerlis west. Sadwaande kin ik ek net foar oare meidoggers sprekke, mar iksels besykje der wol wat om te tinken. It is lykwols selden in probleem, want as it hjir oer lytse bern giet, is it yn 'e regel sa'n selde sitewaasje as hjirboppe, wêrby't in ferneamd persoan in bern krigen hat en dat sels oer Twitter of oare sosjale media omtoetert wêrnei't it troch de tradisjonele media oppikt wurdt. Sa't ik sei, dan hat it foar ús nei myn miening net in soad sin om noch op 'e rem te traapjen. Ik hoopje dat jo mei dit antwurd wat kinne. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 10 sep 2018, 21.39 (CEST)
- Eala, Ieneach fan 'e Esk. It muoit my dat ik de ferkearde oan it jaske lutsen ha.@Drewes: Yn boppesteande gedachtegong kin ik in hiel ein meigean. Wat noch net neamd is de relevânsje fan it neamen. Foeget it neamen fan de namme wat ta oan it begryp fan it lemma, yn dit gefal de mem as BN'er? Nijs is flechtich, in ensyklopedy is dat folle minder. It moat net sa wêze dat as it bern grut is, de ynformaasje foar eltsenien te lêzen is yn in ensyklopedy. Ja, wa't it echt witte wol sil e gegevens dan ek wol earne op ynternet fine kinne. Mar de ensyklopedy soe net it medium wêze moatte dy't soks fêstleit. Dêryn hoecht in ensyklopedy net foarop te rinnen en past efterhâldenheid, tinkt my. It neamen dat frou Jinek troud is en in bern hat kin dan folstean. Wy soene dit oerlis hjir op jo oerlisside ek ris foarlizze kinne oan 'de mienskip' op de Oerlisside. Dan kin elkenien der sines/harres fan sizze kinne. Dan soe dit oerlis dêrhinne ferpleatst wurde moatte. Hoe steane jo hjiryn? Frou Watzema (oerlis) 11 sep 2018, 07.56 (CEST)
- @Frou Watzema: Goeie. It stiet alle meidoggers altyd frij om oer lykfol hokker ûnderwerp (salang't dat ferbân hâldt mei de Wikipedy, fansels) in diskusje oan te swengeljen op 'e Oerlisside. Dat, as jo it hjir graach yn in breder ferbân oer hawwe wolle, dan is dat beslist de manier om sa'n diskusje op gong te krijen. Om my hoecht it net, mar dat moat foar jo gjin reden wêze om derfan ôf ts sjen. Ik haw hjirboppe myn miening al jûn, en dy wol ik bêst nochris op 'e Oerlisside werhelje as der sa'n diskusje komt. Oerlis plege is yn myn optyk noait ferkeard, en as de mearderheid derfoar wêze soe om ôfspraken oer dit ûnderwerp te meitsjen (bgl. dat we tenei gjin nammen fan poppen mear tafoegje, mar allinnich it geslacht en de bertedatum), dan kin ik my dêr ek bêst yn fine. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 11 sep 2018, 17.56 (CEST)
Ik bin it mei 1each iens: Roomsker as de paus wêze wolle op dit mêd is ûnsin at ien persoanlike feiten sels buorkundich makket. En, it neamen fan de namme en bertedei fan in minderjierrich persoan, hoe soe dat skealik wêze kinne? Alle Wikipedyen jouwe sokke ynformaasje ûnder it kopke 'Priveelibben'. It soe oars wêze at wy, yn it gefal fan Jinek, fernije soene dat Pax (sydlings: wa neamt syn bern yn'e frede Pax?) dêr-en-dêr om dy oere en tiid op it húske sit, of hokker paad er nei skoalle giet. Dat soe gefaarlik foar sa'n bern wêze kinne. Mei in (selsmakke) foto soe ik ek hoeden wêze om deselde reden. Drewes (oerlis) 11 sep 2018, 21.14 (CEST)
- No, krekt. Ik haw fan 't simmer in pear foto's makke fan strjitten yn Ljouwert dy't ik neitiid op Commons opladen haw. Ik wie dêr op snein hinne gien, want ik tink, dan sille der wol net sa'n soad minsken op 'e dyk wêze. Dat bliek in misrekken. Hoe dan ek, ik haw wat foto's makke, mar dêr stiene frijwat foarbygongers en terraskesitters op, wêrûnder in jong famke op 'e foto fan 'e Prins Hindrikbrêge (hjir rjochts). Fan dat famke, mar ek fan 'e folwoeksenen op 'e foto's fan it Ruterskertier en de Wurdumerdyk, haw ik foar it opladen út privacy-omtinkens de gesichten dizenich makke (blurred, sizze se yn it Ingelsk). Dat fûn ik net mear as normaal. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 11 sep 2018, 21.42 (CEST)
Ik bin it ek iens mei @Ieneach fan 'e Esk:. Wy hoege yndie net Roomsker as de paus te wêzen. Groetnis Kneppelfreed (oerlis) 11 sep 2018, 22.31 (CEST)
The GFDL license on Commons
This has been posted here because your wiki allows local file uploads. Please help translate to your language.
Commons will no longer allow uploads of photos, paintings, drawings, audio and video that use the GFDL license and no other license. This starts after 14 October. Textbooks, manuals and logos, diagrams and screenshots from GFDL software manuals that only use the GFDL license are still allowed. Files licensed with both GFDL and an accepted license like Creative Commons BY-SA are still allowed.
There is no time limit to move files from other projects to Commons. The licensing date is all that counts. It doesn't matter when the file was uploaded or created. Every wiki that allows local uploads should check if bots, scripts and templates that are used to move files to Commons need to be updated. Also update your local policy documentation if needed.
The decision to allow files that only have a GFDL license, or not allow them, is a decision all wikis can make for themselves. Your wiki can decide to continue allowing the files that Commons will no longer allow after 14 October. If your wiki decides to continue to allow files after 14 October that Commons will no longer allow those files should not be moved to Commons. — Alexis Jazz, distributed by Johan using MassMessage

Did you know?
Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device?
Tap on the pencil icon to start editing. The page will probably open in the wikitext editor.
You will see another pencil icon in the toolbar. Tap on that pencil icon to the switch between visual editing and wikitext editing.
Remember to publish your changes when you're done.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has wrapped up most of their work on the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual diff tool. The team has begun investigating the needs of editors who use mobile devices. Their work board is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are fixing bugs and improving mobile editing.
Recent changes
- The Editing team has published an initial report about mobile editing.
- The Editing team has begun a design study of visual editing on the mobile website. New editors have trouble doing basic tasks on a smartphone, such as adding links to Wikipedia articles. You can read the report.
- The Reading team is working on a separate mobile-based contributions project.
- The 2006 wikitext editor is no longer supported. If you used that toolbar, then you will no longer see any toolbar. You may choose another editing tool in your editing preferences, local gadgets, or beta features.
- The Editing team described the history and status of VisualEditor in this recorded public presentation (starting at 29 minutes, 30 seconds).
- The Language team released a new version of Content Translation (CX2) last month, on International Translation Day. It integrates the visual editor to support templates, tables, and images. It also produces better wikitext when the translated article is published. [4]
Let's work together
- The Editing team wants to improve visual editing on the mobile website. Please read their ideas and tell the team what you think would help editors who use the mobile site.
- The Community Wishlist Survey begins next week.
- If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Thank you!

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Please help translate to your language
Hello,
In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.
What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.
For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.
If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.
Thank you!

Machine translation support enabled today for Content Translation
Please help translate to your language
Hello, machine translation support for Content Translation (beta feature) has now been extended and enabled for users of this Wikipedia, with the inclusion of Google Translate. It can be used when translating Wikipedia articles with Content Translation. To start using this service, please choose Google Translate from the Automatic Translation dropdown menu that you see on the sidebar after you start translating an article.
Please note, machine translation is available from all the languages that are supported by Google Translate, but Content Translation can still be used in the usual manner for translating from all languages, with or without machine translation support. While machine translation exists to aid creation of content conveniently, we would like to emphasise that before publishing, the final content should always be reviewed to avoid errors and ambiguity. We hope that your wiki community will find this new service useful, and that it will help you create more articles in your language.
Wikimedia Foundation and Google have collaborated to work out an agreement that allows the use of Google Translate without compromising Wikipedia’s policy of attribution of rights, privacy of our users and brand representation. For more information, we request you to kindly take a look at the details about machine translation services in Content Translation and about Google Translate translation services. You can also read the main announcement on Wikimedia news. Please note, translations made using Content Translation are also used to improve machine translation services.
We have tested the service for use, but there could be unknown problems that we are not aware of yet. Please do let us know on our Project Talk page if you face any problems using Content Translation. This message is only in English and we will be very grateful if it could be translated into for other users of this Wikipedia.
Thank you. -- On behalf of WMF Language team: Runa Bhattacharjee (WMF) (talk) 9 jan 2019, 17.15 (CET)
FileExporter beta feature
A new beta feature will soon be released on all wikis: The FileExporter. It allows exports of files from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, including their file history and page history. Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.
The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page.
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.
