File:Blick von der Kaisereiche.jpg

Hallo XRay, du kennst dich doch mit den verschiedenen Auszeichnungen aus (VI, QI, FI usw). Dieses Foto sollte wohl ein WLE-Beitrag sein, ist aber beim Upload nur bei den unkategorisierten gelandet (vgl [1]). Mir gefällt es ziemlich gut und groß genug müsste es auch sein aber ich hab keine Ahnung von den ganzen Feinheiten, worauf so geachtet wird. Kannst du dir das Bild Mal kritisch angucken und eventuell passend nominieren? Holger1959 (talk) 12:44, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

@Holger1959: VI sehe ich nicht, aber mindestens QI sollte gehen. Es fehlen allerdings die Geo-Koordinaten und passende Kategorien. Hast du dafür eine Idee? --XRay ^talk 14:25, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

danke für die Einschätzung! die Frage nach genaueren Infos hatte ich fast befürchtet, weiß leider auch nicht mehr als dabeisteht und näher lokalisieren lässt sich das mangels Orientierungspunkten im Bild (Kirchtürme etc) auch nicht. Schade, aber war auch nur ein spontaner Einfall, weil viele Bilder die mir besonders gefallen, entweder eh schon ausgezeichnet oder eben oft "zu klein" sind. Holger1959 (talk) 18:45, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Da kann ich mich nur anschließen. In Zeiten, in denen ich keine eigenen Bilder für eine Nominierung habe, nominiere ich schon mal aus den Wettbewerben, vor allem von neuen Usern. Oft fehlen aber Dinge, auch wenn das Bild einen guten Eindruck macht. --XRay ^talk 18:49, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Category:Black and white photographs

Re multiple edits by your bot: Category:Black and white photographs is supposed to be a "flat" category, not dispersed. Fine to add more specific categories, but this one shouldn't be removed. - Jmabel ! talk 07:12, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

@Jmabel: I've stopped the bot. But I don't think it's a flat category. A lot of pictures are only in subcategories. IMO it is overcategorization. Please have a look to COM:OVERCAT. --XRay ^talk 07:14, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

I'm perfectly familiar with COM:OVERCAT. There have been discussions of this one one the VP & elsewhere before. The upshot was that some of us (I for one) felt there was a danger of simply replicating virtually the entire category system with "Black and white photographs of..." categories, while others wanted to be strict about OVERCAT. The compromised reached -- or certainly as I understood it -- was that if people wanted to make "Black and white photographs of..." categories no one would stop them, but assuming that someday we will have decent category intersection, it made more sense to keep Category:Black and white photographs as a flat category.

It's been a while -- years -- since this was discussed. Maybe it's due for a VP discussion or even an RFC again. - Jmabel ! talk 16:00, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

• Ah, looks like you beat me to it. - Jmabel ! talk 16:17, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
• Yes. We two can't decide this. It's better to discuss it (and finish two open discussions too). Hopefully you agree. --XRay ^talk 16:23, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Category:Black and white photographs

Hallo XRay,

könntest du bitte einmal auf Deutsch erklären, warum die Kategorie abgeschafft werden sollte? Viele Kategorien werden nur von wenigen Benutzern benutzt, ich denke da an sämtliche Unterkategorien von Category:People by activity.--Börsensocke (talk) 19:45, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

@Börsensocke: Ich sage ja, vielleicht mein Englisch. Ich will sie nicht abschaffen. Ganz im Gegenteil, denn ich habe vor einigen Tagen mit der Ordnung angefangen und auch schon etliche Kategorien angelegt und hunderte Bilder den Unterkategorien zugeordnet. Es sollen nur die Bilder aus der Top-Kategorie entfernt werden, wenn sie sich in einer der unteren Kategorien befinden. Das war auch genau das, was ich heute angefangen habe. Aber zwei Dinge erzeugten Widerstand: Das eine war der Hinweis eines Users, dass es sich bei der Top-Kategorie um eine "flat list" handeln würde, das andere die Beschreibung der Verwendung "as tag". Das ist nur selten der Fall und hier weder sinnvoll noch, dass es zu einer Überkategorisierung vermeidet. Und übersichtlich ist eine Kategorie mit 100.000 Bildern auch nicht. Mein Vorschlag bezieht sich nur darauf, die Überkategorisierung zu entfernen. Warum sollte sich ein Bild in Category:Black and white photographs befinden, wenn es bereits in einer untergeordneten Kategorie davon ist? Dazu kommen aber zwei mehrere Jahre alte Diskussionen, die andere ins Spiel gebracht haben. Habe ich es gut genug erläutert? Vielleicht kann ja auch jemand helfen, der der englischen Sprache besser mächtig ist.--XRay ^talk 20:11, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Ich hatte es auch so verstanden, dass du die Kategorie abschaffen möchtest. Du möchtest also eigentlich nur, dass die Kategorie in ihre Unterkategorien entleert wird (Metakategorie) und außerdem nicht als Tag missbraucht wird?--Börsensocke (talk) 20:16, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

So ist es. Wenn du dir die Bilder anschaust, wirst du sehen, dass tausende bereits in den Unterkategorien sind. Derzeit ordne ich zudem Bilder den Unterkategorien zu. Bis zum Monatsende müsste das fertig sein. Man müsste dann halt nur noch die überflüssige Zuordnung in die oberste Ebene entfernen. Ganz abgesehen davon, dass ich es ganz und gar nicht toll finde, Kategorien als Tag zu missbrauchen. Der Umgang mit den Kategorien ist jetzt schon nicht einfach. Ein Anwender wird durch so überfüllte Kategorien nur abgeschreckt. Hast du schon mal versucht, ein Bild in einer Kategorie mit 5.000 Bildern zu finden? Und wie soll das bei 100.000 Bildern gehen? --XRay ^talk 20:24, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Meine Rede. Deswegen finde ich Importe (egal ob von Flickr oder per Bot) auch Scheiße, weil sie meist zur Überfüllung von Kategorien führen.--Börsensocke (talk) 20:30, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

File:Hamburg, Speicherstadt, Block S -- 2016 -- 3330-6.jpg

Hi Dietmar,
With the help of OpenStreetMap I have added a few image notes to the photo. Could you check if everything is all right, please? BTW I think that "Block P" instead of "Block S" should rather be used in file name and description(s). --jdx ^Re: 15:50, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments Deutschland

Hallo XRay!

Vielen Dank für Deine Teilnahme am Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments 2016! Das Organisationsteam freut sich über 38.988 Bilder von deutschen Bau- und Kulturdenkmalen, die in diesem Jahr hochgeladen wurden, und möchte sich ganz herzlich bei Dir für deinen Beitrag zum weltweit größten, von Ehrenamtlichen organisierten, Fotowettbewerb bedanken!

Du hast noch bis zum 18. Oktober die Gelegenheit Wettbewerbsbeiträge anderer Fotografen im Rahmen der Vorjury zu bewerten. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Du dich daran beteiligst und mithilfst die besten Bilder des diesjährigen Wettbewerbs auszuwählen. Alle Informationen zur Vorjury findest Du hier.

An dieser Stelle sei noch auf die Preisverleihung von Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in Deutschland hingewiesen: Diese findet am 25. November 2016 ab 20 Uhr in den Räumen von Wikimedia Deutschland in Berlin statt. Alle Interessierten laden wir ganz herzlich zur Teilnahme ein. Für die Fotografen der Top-10-Bilder und die Sonderpreisträger werden Reisekosten sowie eine Übernachtung durch Wikimedia Deutschland übernommen.

Nochmals vielen Dank für deine Beiträge. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Du auch in Zukunft die Wikipedia bebilderst! Solltest du Fragen haben, so kannst du dich gerne an infowikilovesmonuments.de wenden.

(DCB im Namen des Organisationsteams von Wiki Loves Monuments Deutschland, 01.10.2016)

Guten Tag, danke für eure Meinung für meins Photo. Ich habe mir schon gedacht, gas euch nicht so gut ist, woe es aussieht. Na, ich werde neimalls wieder ein photo nominieren, und eure Zeit verschwenden. Das war das letzte. Und bin kein Deutschen, entchuldigen sie meine Rechtschreibung. Grus--Mirek256 19:48, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

@Mirek256: Hallo! So schnell würde ich nicht aufgeben. Nimm doch einfach die Hinweise mit auf den Weg und schau bei den nächsten Bildern, ob sich nicht etwas ändern lässt. Zu Anfang ist es oft etwas schwierig, aber viele Dinge lassen sich einfach lösen. Zu Anfang hatte ich auch wesentlich mehr abgelehnte Bilder, aber die Hinweise haben mir letztendlich doch geholfen. Auch wenn Kritik zu Anfang etwas schwierig anzunehmen ist. Perspektiven lassen sich korrigieren, CAs lassen sich entfernen, eine Blende kann man passend wählen und auch den Fokuspunkt richtig setzen. Das klappt schon. --XRay ^talk 20:07, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Jedlová ist nicht in Polen, sie ist in der Tschechischen Republik, das ist nicht das selbe, Deutschland ist auch nicht Österreich oder Schweiz. Im Osteuropa sind mehrere Länder. Deswegen habe ich das ruckgangig gemacht, aber ich weiss wikricht nicht, welche Kategorien ich dort soll geben. Aussichturme (observation tower) gibst in Commons nicht, Schnee in Czech republic und Baume auch nicht. -:))--Mirek256 14:31, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

@Mirek256: Sorry, da habe ich etwas übersehen. Von irgendetwas habe ich mich wohl verleiten lassen. Es sollte nur eine Hilfe sein. Think positive!

Tech News: 2017-03

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

Recent changes

• You can now upload WebP files to Commons. [7]

Problems

• video2commons was down for two weeks. This was because of a problem with Commons video transcoders. It is now back up. [8]

Changes this week

• There is a new magic word called {{PAGELANGUAGE}}. It returns the language of the page you are at. This can be used on wikis with more than one language to make it easier for translators. [9]
• When an admin blocks a user or deletes or protects a page they give a reason why. They can now get suggestions when they write. The suggestions will be based on the messages in the dropdown menu. [10]
• You will be able to use <chem> to write chemical formulas. Before you could use <ce>. <ce> should be replaced by <chem>. [11]
• You now can add exceptions for categories which shouldn't be shown on Special:UncategorizedCategories. The list is at MediaWiki:Uncategorized-categories-exceptionlist. [12]
• The "Columns" and "Rows" settings will be removed from the Editing tab in Preferences. If you wish to keep what the "Rows" setting did you can add this code to your personal CSS: #wpTextbox1 { height: 50em; } You can change the number 50 to make it look like you want to. [13]
• Sometimes edits in MediaWiki by mistake are shown coming from private IP addresses such as 127.0.0.1. Edits and other contributions logged to these IP addresses will be blocked and shown the reason from MediaWiki:Softblockrangesreason. This should not affect most users. Bots and other tools running on Wikimedia Labs, including Tool Labs will receive a "blocked" error if they try to edit without being logged in. [14]
• When you edit with the visual editor categories will be on the top of the page options menu. [15]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 January. It will be on all wikis from 19 January (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on January 17 at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Black and white photographs of Germany

Hi, your bot keeps insisting this image is a black and white photograph of Germany. It's not. TommyG (talk) 18:53, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

@TommyG: Sorry. That can happen. There is category like "... of Germany". May be the bot will run again and will remove "Black and white photographs". May be the wrong category will be added again. But the bot will run only once again for removing "Black and white photographs", may be in April. There is a voting (till end of March) for a decision to respect overcategorization. --XRay ^talk 19:05, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Template:Germanyphotoyear

I undid your recent change to this template because it was correct the way it was before. The category you changed in the template was for a decade, so it needs the "s" after the zero. Let me know if you have any questions about this. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:23, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Categories File:Hamburg, Fahrrad am Holländischen Brookfleet -- 2016 -- 2977.jpg

Category:2016 in Hamburg Category:Speicherstadt Category:Vehicles in Hamburg sind hier irrelevant da kein Ort ersichtlich ist Commons:Kategorien#Kategorisieren deiner Beiträge:
wo? Wo wurde das Bild aufgenommen (wenn das für den Bildinhalt relevant ist): z.B. Category:Saxony
wann? das sollte den historischen Kontext angeben, wenn das relevant ist. z.B. Category:World War II--Oursana (talk) 00:12, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Das sehe ich ehrlich gesagt anders. Es wurde an dem Ort und zu der Zeit aufgenommen. Beim Ort mag man vielleicht diskutieren können, bei der Zeit meiner Meinung nach nicht. (Bei dem Beispiel "World War II" geht es auch eher um eine thematische zeitliche Einordnung. Meiner Meinung nach sollte im Grunde jedes Bild in einen historischen Kontext gesetzt werden und damit in eine Kategorie wie 2016 in .... Ausnahmen sind höchstens so etwas wie zeitlose Objektbilder, diese Studiobilder. Ich komme jetzt nicht auf den Namen.) Es ist ein Detail eines Objektes an eben diesem Ort - wie aus anderen Bildern ersichtlich. Eine ähnliche Vorgehensweise hätte man bei vielen Detailaufnahmen und müsste dann Kategorien streichen. Es gab diese Diskussionen - zum Beispiel bei Innenaufnahmen - schon mit dem Ergebnis, dass die Kategorien blieben. Daher möchte ich die Kategorien dort auch halten. Wie in allen anderen, ähnlich gelagerten Fällen auch. --XRay ^talk 04:38, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

BTW: Ich habe den von dir gesetzten Sortierschlüssel bei DEFAULTSORT mal übertragen, damit er für einen Teil der Kategorien erhalten bleibt. Mein Bot wird irgendwann DEFAULTSORT wieder überschreiben, auch damit die Sortierung bei all den anderen Kategorien wieder passt. Und so kann dein Wunschsortierschlüssel überleben. (Insgeheim hoffe ich ja, dass vielleicht mit dem Projekt der strukturierten Daten alle Sortierschlüssel - außer vielleicht so etwas wie Einstein, Albert statt Albert Einstein - irgendwann gelöscht werden und Kategorien nach den Metadaten sortiert werden können.) --XRay ^talk 12:54, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

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

Problems

• The block log sometimes showed blocks as being much longer than they were. This has now been fixed. [21]

Changes this week

• Wikimedia pages will now be better at showing pictures when you share them on social media. The descriptions will be different too. You can see an example of before and after. [22]
• There are some changes to the OOjs UI. Some old functions will not work anymore or not work as they used to. This could be a breaking change. [23]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 February. It will be on all wikis from 9 February (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 7 February at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Tidy will be replaced later this year. Instead, the HTML 5 parsing algorithm will be used to clean up bad HTML in wikitext. This will cause problems on a number of wikis. They need to be fixed first. You can see if your wiki still has something to fix here for one of the HTML problems. This list does not cover all problems. You can read about more problems. [24][25]

Germany photographs taken on...

Eine Vorlage hierfür wäre ganz praktisch, in der Art wie Template:Taken on die dann in einer entsprechenden Datei so aussehen könnte {{Germany photographs taken on|2017-01-06}} --anro (talk) 12:20, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

@AnRo0002: Ich habe es mir jetzt schon mehrfach angesehen. Meine Überlegung geht in die Richtung eines weiteren Parameters für das Land. Ich persönlich mag das Template {{Taken on}} allerdings nicht wirklich. Was mich stört, ist die Positionierung der dazugehörigen Kategorie. Die finde ich an erster Stelle der Kategorien nicht so toll, weil sie für viele Anwender gar nicht so wichtig ist. Und es führt zur Überkategorisierung, wenn die Kategorie schon einer übergeordneten Kategorie zugeordnet ist. Man müsste wenigstens eine Möglichkeit schaffen, die Kategorisierung zu unterdrücken. --XRay ^talk 20:04, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, den Parameter gibt es natürlich: cat. --XRay ^talk 20:19, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Amsterdam Centraal VIC

Hi XRay,

I understand your confusion, as it is confusing when you just watch one of the candidates when two or more images are nominated in a Most valued rerview (MVR). Let me explain what is happening.

• Yesterday evening, I uploaded a panorama of the facade of Amsterdam Central station.
• As I thought the image had turned out to be rather good I sifted through the existing images in Amsterdam Central station facade. I found that it appeared to me that my image was a better illustration of this subject than existing images. Thus, I found it would be relevant to nominate it at COM:VIC.
• As one should do when nominating a picture for VIC in a scope I checked if there was an existing VI within the same scope with the fastCCI tool. In this process, I found your existing VI.
• In accordance with the rules, the nomination and the existing VI now has to go head-to-head in a Most valued review. That is done by reopeneing the old nomination, change the status to discussed, and change some other fields as specified in the renomination procedure. I made a small error there and forgot to change the nominator field from you to me. That is now corrected.
• The two images are now reviewed head-to-head at Commons:Valued image candidates#Amsterdam Central station facade. -- Slaunger (talk) 08:24, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
• In case the review ends with the new nomination getting promoted according to the promotion rules for MVRs, your image will be tagged as a former VI as specified in MVR closure procedure.

I hope this makes it more understandable what happened. I thought about pinging you when I opened the MVR yesterday, as I thought it might confuse you, and now I see I should have done so .-- Slaunger (talk) 08:24, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your explanation. Now it is easy to understand. Early in the morning ... --XRay ^talk 08:32, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi XRay, there may be some VI -relatedf categories that you want to alter on this following closure. I wanted to clean up, but saw the categories were controlled by a personal template and I do not want to tamper with that. It just wouldn't feel right that I did that. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:32, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Just done the modifications, same time as your changes. May be a kind of souls' relationship (hopefully correct translation from german - "hyggelig" may be more difficult to translate ;-) ). Thank you. --XRay ^talk 19:38, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Well, I would not call it 'hyggelig' to demote another persons nice picture. The least pleasant thing about VI is the demotion, but it is regrettably needed in order to keep VI up-to-date. I think a more proper way to say what you refer to in Danish is 'To sjæle, én tanke' (two souls, one thought). Hav en hyggelig aften . -- Slaunger (talk) 19:51, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Tak. "Hyggelig" was just a sample for a word which is difficult to translate. My danish knowlegde is very small, often something to eat: Rødgrød med fløde, Ymer, Øl, Rundstykker or Pølser. Or "hyggelig". Just more than ten times holiday in Jylland. Your country is amazing. This year first time København. :-) --XRay ^talk 20:10, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Vielen Dank, XRay. Wir finden auch Deutschland sehr toll! Nächests mal du bist in Jylland und in der nähe von Viborg, 'ping' mir. Wir kriegen auch diese Sommer besuch aus Borken. (And sorry for the grammar, my German friends always laugh when I write in German to them). -- Slaunger (talk) 20:20, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

:-) Manchmal wundert man sich, wie klein die Welt sein kann. --XRay ^talk 11:48, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Jerry Lewis star

So you're asking for the redirect to be deleted in order to move another file there? If you confirm that I'm correct in this guess, I'll readily delete it.

Your rationale wasn't very clear (I'm still not 100% sure), and it looked like you were just trying to have an old title deleted after you moved the file to a different name. If you want someone to delete File:A.jpg so that you can move File:B.jpg to File:A.jpg, the best rationale on A is something like {{speedy|so that [[:File:B.jpg]] can be moved to this title}}.

Tech News: 2017-10

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

Recent changes

• You can now search on English, French, Hebrew and Greek wikis and find words even if you forget the diacritics. It also works if you use diacritics in your search but the wiki doesn't. [40]
• When you use the mobile view and click on a link to an article in another language you will see that article in the mobile view. Previously it changed to the desktop view. [41]

Problems

• Some watchlist gadgets didn't work for a period of time last week. This has now been fixed. [42]
• Admins who click on "mass delete" on a user's Special:Contributions will be taken directly to a list pages created by that user. It has worked like this before, but not lately. [43]

Changes this week

• The way you switch between wikitext and the visual editors in the desktop view has changed. It is now a drop-down menu. This is the same as in the mobile view. [44]
• The "flag the edit in the abuse log" checkbox will be removed from the abuse filter interface. This is because the edits are always flagged in the abuse log. [45]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 March. It will be on all wikis from 9 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 7 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Clarification

• The 2017/09 issue of Tech News mentioned 3D file formats you can soon upload to Commons. The AMF format will be available later.

Tech News: 2017-11

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

Changes this week

• You will be able to show references from <references /> tags in more than one column on your wiki. This is the list of footnotes for the sources in the article. How many columns you see will depend on how big your screen is. On some wikis, some templates already do this. Templates that use <references /> tags will need to be updated, and then later the change can happen for all reference lists. [46][47]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 March. It will be on all wikis from 16 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 14 March at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Some old web browsers will not be able to use JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis in the future. If you have an old web browser on your computer you can upgrade to a newer version. [48]
• CSS in templates will be stored in a separate page in the future. [49][50]

Colmar, cercle catholique saint Martin, 4.jpeg

Grüße und Servus,

deine Zuordnung meines Bildes vom katholischen Zirkel in Colmar an die Kategorie Square photos of religious buildings habe ich dankend zur Kenntnis genommen; die weitergehende Zuordnung an Category:Square photos of churches musste ich aber rückgängig machen, wie schon vor fünf Monaten. Der katholische Zirkel ist kein Kirchengebäude, das sieht man daran, dass auf den Turmspitzen keine Kreuze stehen.

Tech News: 2017-12

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

Recent changes

• The Save page button now says Publish page or Publish changes on the Wikimedia wikis except for Wikipedias and Wikinewses. This change will come to Wikipedias later. The point is to make it more clear that the edit will change the page immediately. Publish page is when you save a new page and Publish changes when you edit an existing page. [51]
• DMOZ no longer works. Templates that use DMOZ can be redirected to archive.org or another mirror. DMOZ has been removed from the RelatedSites extension on Wikivoyage. [52]
• You can see monthly page views when you click on Page information in the sidebar. Developers can also get monthly page views through the API. [53]
• The Linter extension is now on smaller Wikimedia wikis. It helps editors find some wikitext errors so they can be fixed. It will come to other Wikimedia wikis later. The extension will be able to find more errors later. [54]
• The MediaWiki-Vagrant portable development environment has been updated to use Debian Jessie. This means local development and testing will be more like on the majority of Wikimedia production servers. [55]

Problems

• On 15 March some interwiki links to other languages were not correctly sorted. This has been fixed. If you still see pages where the interwiki links are not sorted as they should be, they should be fixed automatically with time or you can edit the page and save it without changing anything. If this doesn't work, please report it. [56]

Changes this week

• When you edit with the visual editor, you will be able to switch the direction you write in from right-to-left to left-to-right as you are editing. This is especially important for editors who edit in languages that write from right to left. You can do this with a tool in the editing menu. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+X on PCs or Cmd+Shift+X on Macs. [57]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 March. It will be on all wikis from 23 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 21 March at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2017-14

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

Recent changes

• The Save page button now says Publish page or Publish changes on most Wikipedias. The point is to make it more clear that the edit will change the page immediately. Publish page is when you save a new page and Publish changes when you edit an existing page. [61]
• The tracking category Category:Pages with template loops is now added when a template loop is found. A template loop is for example when a template tries to use a second template that uses the first template. [62]
• English Wikipedia now has cookie blocks. It will come to more wikis in the future. This is an extension to the autoblock system so when a user is blocked, the next time they visit the wiki a cookie will be set. This means that even if the user switches accounts and to a new IP address the cookie will block them again. [63]

Problems

• Wikidata descriptions, aliases and labels that used some characters could not be saved. This has now been fixed. [64]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 April. It will be on all wikis from 6 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 4 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the next office hour with the Wikidata team. The meeting will be on 5 April at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• New filters for Recent changes will come to Wikidata and Persian, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Czech and Hebrew Wikipedia on 11 April. The new filters include filtering, highlighting and user intent prediction. User intent prediction means the filter tries to help editors determine if the edit was made in good faith or not. Other wikis will get it later. [65]

Tech News: 2017-15

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

Recent changes

• Tidy is going to be replaced with an HTML5 parsing algorithm. Bad HTML in wikitext would cause problems on a number of wikis. There is now a ParserMigration extension on all wikis that you can use to help clean this up. You can read more about how you can use it. [66]

Changes this week

• Some older web browsers will not be able to use JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis from this week. If you have an old web browser on your computer you can upgrade to a newer version. [67]
• New filters for Recent changes will come to Wikidata and Persian, Russian, Turkish and French Wikipedia on 11 April. The schedule has been changed to fix the user intent prediction filters for some wikis. User intent prediction means the filter tries to make it easier for editors to determine if the edit was made in good faith or not. Other wikis will get it later. [68]
• The list of special characters in the wikitext editor and the visual editor will now have a group of Canadian Aboriginal characters. [69]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 April. It will be on all wikis from 13 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for 20 to 30 minutes on 19 April and 3 May. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. You can read more about this.
• RevisionSlider will change how you move between revisions. This will be available on the test wiki from 11 April. It will come to other wikis later if users like the change. You can test it and give feedback.

Tech News: 2017-16

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

Recent changes

• You can add ?safemode=1 to the end of the URL on Wikimedia wikis to disable your personal CSS and JavaScript. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature?safemode=1. This means you can test if a problem is because of your user scripts or gadgets without uninstalling them. [70]
• You can now see a list of all autoblocks on Special:AutoblockList. [71]
• The Wikiversity and Wikinews logos are now shown directly from the configuration and not from [[File:Wiki.png]]. If you want to change logo or have an anniversary logo, see how to request a configuration change. This is how it already works for other projects. They can request logo changes the same way. [72]

Problems

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for 20 to 30 minutes on 19 April. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. You can read more about this. This will also happen on 3 May.

Changes this week

• There is no new Mediawiki version this week. This is because of the data centre test.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 18 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• stats.wikimedia.org will be replaced. You can see the new prototype. You can leave feedback on this change.
• Page Previews will be turned on for logged-out users on a large number of wikis in May. It could be postponed and happen later. Page Previews shows readers a short part of a linked article when they rest their mouse pointer on the link. This is to help them understand what it is about without leaving the article they are reading. Page Previews used to be called Hovercards. Users who have tested the feature can give feedback. [73]
• From next week, user scripts using very old deprecated wikibits functions will show errors. These functions have not worked since 2013. You should fix or disable broken scripts. You can see examples of how to upgrade scripts. [74][75]

Tech News: 2017-17

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

Recent changes

• New filters for recent changes are now available as a beta feature on most wikis. You can turn it on in your preferences. Remaining wikis will have the new filters on 9 May. [77]
• When administrators, bureaucrats and stewards make a user a member of a user group they can now set an expiry date. A user group is for example "administrators" or "bots". This means that they can give someone user rights for a limited time. This is similar to how blocks and page protections can be limited in time. Special:UserRights will have new options for this. You can read more about user groups. [78]

Problems

• Since the data centre test last week the content translation tool has been disabled. This is because of a database problem. It will be back as soon as the problem has been solved. [79]

Changes this week

• The GuidedTour extension will be enabled on all wikis. This is a tool to explain to new users how to edit. [80]
• Wiktionary will handle interlanguage links in a new way. The Cognate extension will automatically link pages with the same title between Wiktionaries. For this to work all old interlanguage links have to be removed. You can read more about this. [81]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 April. It will be on all wikis from 27 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 25 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Congratulations! The image you nominated was reviewed and has now been promoted as a valued image. It is considered to be the most valued image on Commons within the scope:

review

•  Question, do you know what a "Preußische halbe Ruthe" is (preferably in in English) XRay? It looks like a length measurement standard possibly, and Google translates it as "Prussian half ruthen". The image would be very much more useful if there was a description of exactly what this is, with maybe a link to a Wikipedia article about it. DeFacto (talk). 06:28, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

• It's "Prussian Half Rod". I've changed the scope. --XRay ^talk 06:59, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment I wish to put on record that I have changed the category "Units of measure" to "Units of length" as I believe it to be a more appropriate category. I do not anticipate anybody opposing this. Martinvl (talk) 21:39, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

I think you're seen the image as coloured Image. So it is not unusual to nominate different views of the same object. Do you think it is not OK to nominate black-and-white and coloured?? It's FPC or VI. And every photographs may be QI ... or not.

Tech News: 2017-18

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

Recent changes

• The content translation tool works again. It was turned off because of a database problem. [82]
• Scripts using very old deprecated wikibits functions show errors. These functions have not worked since 2013. You should fix or disable broken scripts. You can see examples of how to upgrade scripts. This is the same thing as Tech News wrote about in issue 2017/16. You need to add mw.loader.using( 'mediawiki.util' ) block for your scripts also, or add mediawiki.util dependency in gadget ResourceLoader section in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition. [83][84]

Problems

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for 20 to 30 minutes on 3 May. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. You can read more about this.

Changes this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week. This is because of the data centre test.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 2 May at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• All Wikimedia wikis will have cookie blocks from May 8. This is an extension to the autoblock system so when a user is blocked, the next time they visit the wiki a cookie will be set. This means that even if the user switches accounts and to a new IP address the cookie will block them again. [85]
• The Publish changes, Show preview and Show changes buttons will look slightly different. This is to fit with the OOUI look. Users can test scripts, gadgets and so on to see if they work with the new interface by adding &ooui=1 to the URL. [86]

I've learned that noise is a very special problem for images taken in fog. Hopyfully it's good enough now. --XRay 15:17, 4 May 2017 (UTC) Lovely moment!! --The Photographer 16:48, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Bewertungen von Fotos

Guten Morgen, lieber Fotofreund!

Danke für Deine QI-Bewertung, bei der Du darauf hinweist, daß ich selbst etwa so viele Fotos bewerten soll als ich zur Bewertung nominiere. Ich würde das ja auch gerne tun und es ist sicherlich nicht mangelnde Fairness, daß ich es nicht mache. Die Ursache ist vielmehr, daß sich mein Englisch auf "Good morning" und "Good bye" beschränkt. Da bei den Bewertungen Englisch üblich ist, muß ich mich also auf Nominierungen beschränken. Ich hoffe auf Dein Verständnis. Mit freundlichen Grüßen--M@nfred (talk) 06:17, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

@Manfred Kuzel: Das war sicherlich der Grund, den ich mir gedacht hatte. Aber ich wollte dich schon mal sanft darauf hinweisen, da das erfahrungsgemäß irgendwann Probleme gibt. Nimm doch einfach mal ein paar Bilder, die du in Ordnung findest und schreib "Good quality". Das wäre zumindest ein positives Zeichen. --XRay ^talk 07:11, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Ich würde das ja gerne versuchen, aber ich befürchte, daß jemand meine Qualifikation nicht für absolut optimal findet und dann befinde ich mich mitten in einer Diskussion, der ich einfach nicht gewachsen bin. Wenn die Teilnahme an solchen Qualifikationen von Sprachkenntnissen und nicht allein von fotografischem Können abhängig ist, dann werde ich wohl - so leid es mir tut - auf QI's verzichten müssen. :-( --M@nfred (talk) 11:14, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Ich würde sagen, versuchs einfach mal mit einer Bewertung. Es wissen ja mehrere Mitfotografen, dass du kein Englisch sprichst. Ich gehe schon davon aus, dass dir geholfen wird. --XRay ^talk 14:48, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-19

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

Problems

• Some users have a problem with the watchlist. Some changes in categories make the watchlist a blank page. The developers are working on this. Until this is fixed you can try some things that have helped other editors if you have this problem. You can turn on Hide categorization of pages in your watchlist preferences. You can turn off Expand watchlist to show all changes, not just the most recent in your watchlist preferences. You can remove problematic categories from Special:EditWatchlist/raw. [87]
• There was a problem with the visual editor for several days. You could not save edits that triggered a CAPTCHA. This would for example be when a new user added external links in references. This was fixed on 2 May. [88]

Changes this week

• When you edit you can switch between the visual editor and the wikitext editor. This works if the wiki you edit has the visual editor. The menu will now say Visual editing and Source editing instead of Switch to visual editing and Switch to code editing. This is because it was confusing when the menu said you could switch to the editor you were already using. [89]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 May. It will be on all wikis from 11 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 9 May at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• You will be able to get a notification when a page you created is connected to a Wikidata item. This will come to Wikivoyage on 9 May. If there are no problems it will come to most Wikipedias on 30 May. It will come to other projects and English, French and German Wikipedia later in the summer. It will be opt-in for existing users and opt-out for new users. [90][91]
• Markup that looks like code for language variants might need to be fixed. If -{ is used in transclusions or web addresses it has to be escaped appropriately. You can use -<nowiki/>{ for transclusions and %2D{ in web addresses. A transclusion could for example be when you use -{ in a template: {{1x| sad :-{ face }}. This is because of some code fixes to the preprocessor and affects all wikis. [92][93]

Tech News: 2017-20

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

Recent changes

• You can now use ISBNs to automatically generate citations in the visual editor. This works on wikis that have enabled Citoid. [94]
• The Two Column Edit Conflict View is available as a beta feature on all wikis. It is a new interface for the edit conflict resolution page. [95]

Problems

• The mediawiki.util library does not load automatically any more. Your Special:MyPage/common.js may use it. If you have technical problems that started a couple of weeks ago you can try adding mw.loader.using( 'mediawiki.util' ).done(function(){ as the first line in the file and }); as a last one. Tech News wrote about this in the 2017/18 issue. [96]

Changes this week

• The RevisionSlider extension will be a default feature on all wikis. RevisionSlider is an easier way to move between changes in the page history. It has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia and a beta feature on all wikis. You will be able to turn it off in your preferences. [97]
• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

• Administrators will soon be able to search through deleted pages. [98][99]
• Markup that looks like code for language variants might need to be fixed. Tech News wrote about this last week. If -{ is used in transclusions or web addresses it has to be escaped appropriately. You can use -<nowiki/>{ for transclusions and %2D{ in web addresses. This is because of some code fixes to the preprocessor and affects all wikis. You can now see the full list of wikis with this problem and help fix them to avoid that things break later this month. You might find false positives. You can read more about what to fix. [100][101]

Older unreported changes

• Your Meta user page is shown on all wikis where you don't have a local user page. You can now add the magic word __NOGLOBAL__ to your Meta user page to stop this. [102][103]

Wiki Loves Earth 2017

Hallo XRay,

bald startet wieder Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland, unser Fotowettbewerb rund um das Themengebiet Naturschutz. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Du wieder mitmachst.

Bilder können vom 1. bis 31. Mai 2017 eingereicht werden.

WLE Deutschland kooperiert dieses Jahr mit der Deutschen UNESCO-Kommission (DUK). Die bestplatzierten Bilder von Biosphärenreservaten, Weltnaturerbe und UNESCO-Geoparks sollen auf http://www.unesco.de präsentiert werden.

Die allgemeinen Wünsche der Organisatoren haben sich nicht geändert: Schutzgebiet oder -objekt angeben, Originalauflösung, keine Signaturen oder ähnliches im Bild.

Die Suche nach geeigneten Motiven erleichtern unter anderem neue Listen aller deutschen Naturwaldreservate oder Listen der Naturdenkmale in Baden-Württemberg, im Saarland, Hessen und Brandenburg. Stöbere einfach mal bei Wikipedia, z. B. auf der Karte.

Eine Vorjury wird die Vorauswahl der Bilder übernehmen. Hier kannst Du Dich ebenfalls gerne beteiligen. Bei Interesse bitte unter WLE-Vorjury eintragen, das Passwort kommt per E-Mail.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg wünscht im Namen des Organisationsteams,

Eine kleine Bitte: Für das Münsterland lasse ich den Bot immer mal wieder laufen. Und wenn du einen Fehler sehen solltest, den er gemacht hat, schreib es mir bitte. Ich nehme dies dann als Ausnahme auf und dann kommt das nicht wieder vor. Fehler können leider immer passieren.

Die Art und Weise Kategorien anzulegen ist bei manchen Mitstreitern sehr kreativ.: wohl wahr.

• You're right - or not. "Heiliggrabkapelle" and "Blutkapelle" are two names for the same chapel. (See: de:Kloster_Stift_zum_Heiligengrabe#Heiliggrabkapelle_.28Blutkapelle.29) --XRay ^talk 10:33, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-23

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

Recent changes

• You can see new files on Special:NewFiles. You can now pick which dates you want to see files from. [107]
• When you read Wikipedia on a mobile device the first paragraph now comes before the infobox. [108]
• You can now remove navigation elements from your results when you search. This could for example be part of an infobox that is only there to help you find the previous or next article. [109]
• New users on Wikivoyages and Wikipedias (except French, English and German) now get a notification when a page they created is connected to Wikidata. Other wikis will get it 13 June. [110]

Problems

• The MediaWiki version from two weeks ago was rolled back. It was fixed late last week. Changes that were planned to go out last week did not happen. [111]

Changes this week

• Wikimedia wikis can show fewer links to articles in other languages. This is to make it easier to find the languages likely to be useful to the reader or editor. Everyone can still click to see the full list. Logged-in users who use the compact language links will see languages they have in their Babel box on their user page in the first, shorter list. You can turn the compact language list off or on in your preferences. [112]
• You can choose what dates to look at when you look at a user's contributions. [113]
• When you click on your watchlist in the mobile view you get a list of all pages in the watchlist instead of the latest changes to them. Logged-in users with at least ten edits will now get the latest changes instead. [114]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 June. It will be on all wikis from 8 June (calendar).
• String comparisons in Scribunto modules are now always done case-insensitively by byte order. Before they were sometimes in a case-sensitive US-English collation order. This could break some modules. [115]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 June at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The 2006 wikitext editor will be removed the week of 27 June. This is the old toolbar with small square blue buttons. You can see a picture of it. 0.03% of active Wikimedia editors use this old tool. They will not see a toolbar at all. [116][117]
• Wikimedia wikis use OCG to create PDFs. The OCG code has a lot of problems and will stop working. It has to be replaced. An alternative is Electron. You can tell the developers what you need the PDF service to be able to do. Electron already works on German Wikipedia. It will be on English Wikipedia later this week so you can test it there too. [118]
• The Architecture Committee will change and get a new name. You can read and comment on the draft that describes the new committee.

File:Münster, Prinzipalmarkt -- 2017 -- 6893.jpg

Ja, das mit dem Himmel ist immer so eine Sache. Ich kenne das Problem auch, wenn es bewölkt ist, sieht es schnell ausgebrannt aus. Am Ende ist das vielleicht weniger eine Frage von Überbelichtung, als eine Frage von Bildgestaltung. Ich wollte nicht gleich auf "Decline" drücken, weil ich erstmal Deine Meinung hören wollte. Wenn Du die Nominierungen eh zurückziehen möchtest, würde ich keine Bewertung mehr abgeben. --Code (talk) 04:55, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

@Code: Ein Ablehnen solcher Bilder ist kein Problem. Ich weiß, dass es eher kritisch gesehen wird. Man hat ein gewisses Faible für Schönwetterbilder. Mit dem Zurückziehen habe ich nur gewartet, damit du die Antwort noch lesen kannst. Meine ersten Versuche mit dem Leihequipment von Wikimedia Austria haben mir zudem gezeigt, dass ein Ultraweitwinkel wohl nicht zu meinem eigenen Equipment gehören wird. Die Verzerrungen sind mir zuviel. --XRay ^talk 05:27, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Sogenanntes schlechtes Wetter kann m.E. auch ästhetisch ansprechend sein. Aber sicher, bei bewölktem Himmel steigt das Risiko, dass das andere Nutzer nicht so sehen und der Begründungsaufwand wird höher. Das mit dem Weitwinkel ist so eine Sache. Ich persönlich finde es oft ärgerlich, wenn sich Leute über vermeintliche Verzerrungen beschweren. Meine Güte, das ist halt optisch unvermeidbar und meiner Meinung nach auch einfach eine Gewohnheitssache. Aber klar, 11mm sind halt in vielerlei Hinsicht sehr anspruchsvoll. Genauso bei der Gebäudefotografie: Die Leute haben sich so dran gewöhnt, dass Gebäude auf Fotos nach hinten kippen, dass sie es schon teilweise als unnatürlich empfinden, wenn man die Vertikalen korrigiert. Bei mir hat sich gerade eine gewisse Commons-Müdigkeit eingestellt. Ich hab keine Lust, ständig die gleichen Diskussionen zu führen und zu sehen, wie gute Bilder schlechtgeredet und schlechte Bilder mit Auszeichnungen versehen werden (ich will jetzt gar keine konkreten Fälle benennen, das ist eher so ein allgemeines Gefühl und hat, dies nur zur Klarstellung, ganz sicher gar nichts mit Dir zu tun). Ich denke, ich lege mal ein paar Wochen Pause ein. --Code (talk) 05:40, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

@Code: Da muss ich doch noch antworten. Da haben wir doch eine gewisse Seelenverwandtschaft. Ich habe mich entschlossen, mit Heiligengrabe die letzte große Aktion gemacht zu haben. Manche Bewertungen finde ich mittlerweile grenzwertig und unverhältnismäßig. Aus den Exzellenten Bildern in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia habe ich mich bereits zurückgezogen. Da fehlt es doch oft an der guten Kinderstube. Aber so verschieden sind wir alle nun mal. Ich schiebe es auch ein wenig auf eine persönliche Weiterentwicklung. Sehe ich ja auch bei deinen wundervollen Bildern bei Flickr. Ein paar Bilder kommen noch in diesem Jahr, aber nur noch Ausgesuchte. Es fehlt mir nur an einer Plattform zum vernünftigen Austausch mit anderen Fotografen, deren Bewertung über ein "Gefällt mir" hinausgeht. Und die Bilder sollen durchaus über den edukativen Zweck hinausgehen dürfen. --XRay ^talk 06:09, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Da kann ich jedes Wort unterschreiben. KEB in Dewiki ist unerträglich, sowohl vom Inhalt her, als auch von der Tonlage. Und in der Tat würde ich mir auch eine Plattform für einen vernünftigen Austausch wünschen. Auf Flickr, Fotocommunity usw. traut sich keiner, dem anderen weh zu tun und hier im Wiki-Universum geht es manchmal arg in die andere Richtung. Das mit der Weiterentwicklung ist sicherlich wahr, das sehe ich an vielen Mitstreitern hier auf Commons. Die guten Leute ziehen sich mehr und mehr zurück und das ist der Qualität sicherlich nicht dienlich. Solltest Du Dich wirklich zurückziehen, wäre das ein schwerer Verlust für Commons. Das täte mir sehr leid. Ich hoffe, Du gehst nicht ganz. Aber dass Du Dich ein wenig zurücknehmen willst, verstehe ich. Da denke ich genauso. Manchmal denke ich, dass man hier schon ganz schön Perlen vor die Säue wirft. Danke für das Kompliment wegen der Flickr-Bilder. Ich habe mittlerweile das Gefühl, dass meine Bilder dort besser aufgehoben sind, als hier. Das ist schon traurig. --Code (talk) 06:16, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-24

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

Recent changes

• Some wikis have the larger and brighter OOjs UI edit page buttons. When you write an edit summary there you can now see how many bytes you have left before the summary is too long. [119]
• When you search on Wikipedia you can now find pages on other Wikimedia projects that could be relevant. You see them next to the search results. [120]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 June. It will be on all wikis from 15 June (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 13 June at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• You will soon be able to get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account. You can test this on the test wiki. This will only work if they fail to log in to your account. [121]
• Wikimedia wikis use OCG to create PDFs. The OCG code has a lot of problems and will stop working. It has to be replaced. An alternative is Electron. You can tell the developers what you need the PDF service to be able to do. Electron now works on all Wikimedia projects. [122]
• Administrators can soon search for deleted page titles and find results that are similar to what they searched for. Today the search only finds pages that are exactly the same as what you search for. This is to make it easier to find pages when you don't know the exact title. Administrators on Arabic, Catalan, English, Persian, German, Italian, Polish, and Russian Wikipedia and on mediawiki.org can test this by adding &fuzzy=1 to the end of the web address when looking at Special:Undelete.

Wiki Loves Earth 2017 - Danke, und wie geht es weiter?

Hallo XRay,

vielen Dank für Deine Teilnahme am Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland. Damit hast Du ein Stück Natur in Deiner Region dokumentiert und Wikipedia geholfen, andere darüber zu informieren.

Dieses Jahr wurden 24.000 Fotos eingereicht, im vorigen Jahr waren es noch 18.000. Bei der Teilnehmerzahl (1063) wurde der Rekord vom Vorjahr nur knapp verpasst.

Um die große Zahl von Bildern angemessen zu bewältigen, suchen wir weitere Helfer für die Vorjury, zum Kategorisieren oder zum Einfügen der Bilder in die Artikel und Listen der Wikipedia.

Eine Jury wird Anfang Juli auf einer Sitzung in Fulda die besten Bilder auswählen. Nach dem Zeitplan sollen die Top100 am 15. Juli 2017 veröffentlicht werden. Kurz danach werden die Gewinner benachrichtigt.

Wir möchten auf Wiki Loves Earth Biosphere Reserves hinweisen. Bei diesem Wettbewerb können bis Ende Juni Bilder von Biosphärenreservaten aus aller Welt eingereicht werden. Selbstverständlich darf man das ganze Jahr über Bilder zu beliebigen Themen bei Wikimedia Commons hochladen, nicht nur wenn ein Wettbewerb läuft...

Freundliche Grüße.

Picture of the day

Hi, thought you might like to know that I replaced your image at picture of the day for 1 May 2018, as it was a very similar image of the same building which is used as picture of the day for 2 April 2018, only a month before. Thanks. Seagull123 (talk) 23:12, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

@Seagull123: And my image is now PoD at another day? IMO just replacing is not a good and friendly way. It is not a problem asking first and moving the image to another day. May be there is a reason for this day. --XRay ^talk 03:29, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

I was going to move it elsewhere, but it was late, I apologise. Is there a reason both pictures of the same building were tagged for POTD within a month of each other? Seagull123 (talk) 11:41, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

I'd moved the picture already, it's PoD in November now. IMO it was better to ask first. And no, there wasn't a reason. As I wrote, a solution is possible. I'm trying to have a distance of about 4 weeks for pictures of the same location. But this is not an easy task for only one and a half year of possible days. And I try to choose a date which is important for this picture. I try means, that it's not possible every time. --XRay ^talk 13:59, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

I've already apologised. But, can I ask why you are adding photos of the same place to POTD within four weeks of each other anyway? I thought the photos were meant to be varied, and IMO, four weeks between two photos of the same place isn't varied. Seagull123 (talk) 17:59, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Sometimes there are similar photographs within only a few days. That is IMO too short. IMO four weeks are a good distance. In your opion it isn't. Different opions. But not a problem, and there is no rule for the distance. And no answer for the definition of "similar". I can choose another distance for the next photographs. An easy solution, isn't it? --XRay ^talk 18:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-27

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

Recent changes

• There was a problem with maps on Wikimedia wikis that used <mapframe> when you clicked on the link to another map service. Open Street Map or Google Maps are examples of other map services. If you had marked a place on the map the marker would not be in the same place on the other map service. It was in the middle of the map. This has now been fixed. [131]

Changes this week

• Very old and inactive unpublished translations in the Content Translation database will be removed. This is because of technical maintenance. If you have not worked on a translation after 1 January 2016 you will lose it after 6 July. If you want to keep the unfinished translation you need to open it before 6 July with the Content Translation tool. You can continue working on it later. Translations that were started or have been worked on after 1 January 2016 will not be affected.
• There is no new Mediawiki version this week.
• EventStreams is a new way to show activity on Wikimedia wikis. It works with the recent changes feed. It will do more things later. It will replace RCStream. Tools that use RCStream should move to EventStreams before 7 July. Tech News wrote about this in the 2017/07 issue. [132]

Asian Pear photo

Hi. Thanks for the comment on the Asian Pear photo at QIC about diffraction. Yea, I know. Yesterday I uploaded a photo of the same pear at f/13 and it was too blurryon the edges. I ended up withdrawing it from QIC. Today I took some shots at f/16 f/18 and f/22 and I felt the f/22 one had the sharpest edges. I was a bit surprised as I thought 16 or 18 would come out best. I've found fruit a bit hard to get a good photo of without focus stacking (which I don't have software to do). You need to get close enough to fill up the frame but that cuts your DOF, and I'm sure you familiar with all that. If I do more tests tomorrow the results will probably be different. HAHA. Best wishes. PumpkinSky talk 20:24, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

@PumpkinSky: Sometimes it's all a mystery. ;-) Usually you the best sharpness is around f/8, sometimes a little bit less or more. The blur due to diffraction becomes visible with approximately f/13 and closer aperture. But you need a closer aperture for more DoF. It's just the choice of the photographer what's more important. Your lens with a fixed focus length is the best choice. IMO focus stacking is not a solution for this kind of object because it's like a ball. With focus stacking you will loose the effect of the third dimension. So it's everything fine the way you've done. It was just a note from me. And thanks for your explanations above, now I'm sure, you're familiar with all the physics behind the simple numbers of the aperture. ;-) And sorry for my broken english, I hope it's intelligible.--XRay ^talk 06:01, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Your English is quite good. With my other lenses (18-55mm and 70-300mm) f/11 is usually the best. The 85mm is a macro lens. PumpkinSky talk 09:35, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-28

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

Recent changes

• There are sometimes links to pages about the same thing on other Wikimedia projects. A Wikipedia article about Berlin can link to the Wikivoyage guide or Wiktionary entry about Berlin. You can now see when that page has a badge. A badge could be the star that shows that an article is a featured article. [133]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 July. It will be on all wikis from 13 July (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 July at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Mobile users will be able to edit Wikipedia without JavaScript. This will make it possible to edit the wikis from older mobile phones. This will probably happen on 18 July for most wikis. [134]
• We will not use Tidy on Wikimedia wikis in the future. It will be replaced by June 2018. It could be earlier. Editors will need to fix pages that could break. You can read the simplified instructions for editors.

Geo Location

Hallo Dietmar, Du schreibst zu meinem Foto der Schule in Mulheim-Kärlich, dass die Geo-Location nett wäre. Das Problem ist nur, dass meine Kamera sie nicht anzeigt. Da muss sich der Interessierte leider die Mühe machen, bei Google-Maps die Clemensstraße 2 einzugeben; dann sieht er, wo das Gebäude steht. Viele Grüße und danke für Deine trotzdem positive Bewertung -- Spurzem ([[User talk:Spurzem|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 20:16, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Lothar! Einerseits hatte ich auch nur darum gebeten - ich kenne ja diverse ergebnisbefreite Diskussionen - und andererseits gibt es auch andere Wege. Meine Kamera kann es übrigens auch nicht. Ich zeichne die Daten mit dem Smartphone auf und ordne sie dann mit Hilfe von Lightroom zu. Es gibt aber auch noch andere Wege. Meines Wissens nach ist eine Angabe für QIC allerdings nicht zwingend. Das Bild ist OK, die eine Kategorie reicht meiner Meinung nach auch aus, Dateiname OK, die wirklich kleinen Mängel sind unbedeutend. Da sind wir doch alle zufrieden, oder? Ich wünsche Dir immer gutes Licht für Deine tollen Bilder! --XRay ^talk 20:35, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Danke, Dietmar. Aber ich habe weder Smartphone noch Lightroom; beides ist mir als Rentner zu teuer. Noch mal herzliche Grüße -- Spurzem ([[User talk:Spurzem|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 20:45, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter, July 19, 2017

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons?

The millions of files on Wikimedia Commons are described with a lot of information or (meta)data. With the project Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons, this data is structured more, and is made machine-readable. This will make it easier to view, search (also multilingually), edit, organize and re-use the files on Commons.

In early 2017, the Sloan Foundation funded this project (see documentation). Development takes place in 2017–2020. It involves staff from the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE) and many volunteers. To achieve this, Wikibase support is added to Wikimedia Commons. Wikibase is the technology that is also used for Wikidata.

Recent developments: groundwork

• A new and crucial technical step (federation) now makes it possible to reference data from one Wikibase website in another. Because of this, it will be possible to use Wikidata's items and properties to describe media files on Commons.
• Another important piece of groundwork is under development: so-called Multi-Content Revisions. This feature allows structured data to be stored alongside wiki text, so that one wiki page can contain several types of content.

Team updates

• Amanda Bittaker was hired as Program Manager for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons. Amanda will take care of the overall management of the project.
• Sandra Fauconnier (known as Spinster in her volunteer capacity) is the new Community Liaison. She will support the collaboration between the communities (Commons, Wikidata, GLAM) and the product development teams at the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Deutschland.
• We have open positions for a UX designer and a Product Manager!

Talking with communities and allies

• Long-term feedback from GLAMs. Besides the Wikimedia community, many external cultural and knowledge institutions (GLAMs - Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) are interested in Structured Data on Commons and are willing to provide feedback on the long-term plans for the project. Alex Stinson, GLAM strategist at the Wikimedia Foundation, is currently in contact with Europeana, DPLA, the Smithsonian and the National Archives of the United States. Alex is also looking for other GLAM institutions who might be able to advise on the long term. If you know of an institution or partner that may be appropriate for consultation, do get in touch with Alex.
• Jonathan Morgan, design researcher, is starting to work on two projects:
  • Researching batch upload workflows by interviewing GLAM institutions
  • Researching the enrichment, organization and improvement tasks on already uploaded media files by engaging with active Commons contributors. This research follows up on existing research by Wikimedia Deutschland on heavy Commons users.

What comes next?

• The Structured Data on Commons team meets in the week after Wikimania to lay the groundwork for the next steps. This includes new backend development and design work, for better and more clear integration of the structured data in pages on Wikimedia Commons.
• The project's information pages on Wikimedia Commons will receive a long overdue update in the upcoming months. The team will also work on more and better communication channels. Feedback, wishes and tips are welcome at the project's general talk page.

Get involved

• Join us at Wikimania! We are present at the hackathon, and there will be a session on Saturday, August 12: Structured Commons: what changes are coming?
• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Stay tuned for requests for input, discussion and participation as soon as the info portal is refreshed (see above). These will also be announced via this newsletter.

Many greetings from SandraF (WMF) (talk), Community Liaison for this project! 13:55, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Kleine Bitte um Aufmerksamkeit...

Hallo. Bitte entschuldige die Störung, aber wollte kurz deine Meinung haben, wenn es geht. Findest du das, was derzeit im deutschen Commons-Forum abgeht, irgendwie akzeptabel? Ich bin seit mehr als zehn Jahren bei Wikimedia Projekten und habe einiges schon erleben müssen, aber diese andauernden Beleidigungen und Unterstellungen seitens einer ganzen Gruppe sind auch unter dieser Gegebenheit nicht so leicht wegzustecken. Alle meine «Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit» bestehen offenbar darin, dass ich von einigen sturen Zeitgenossen, die sich einen Dreck um Kategorien ihrer nominierten Fotos kümmern, verlange, dass sie sich doch bitte ein wenig kümmern. Zur Not eben durch ein vorläufiges Kontra. Muss man sich deswegen einen Störenfried beschimpfen lassen und Sperrfantasien in bezug auf sich anhören? Und dabei arbeite ich gar nicht mal mit vielen Kategorien, nur mit den wichtigsten. Zum Beispiel sind mir die ganzen Kategorien à la "Exposure time 1/200" oder "ISO-400", wie du die gerne verwendest, ein Graus. Bitte entschuldige nochmals die Belästigung. Ich habe echt keine Ahnung, an wen ich mich wenden soll. Die ganze deutsche Wikipedia ist gegen mich aufgebracht, und von den Kollegen die kein Deutsch können hat naturgemäß niemand Interesse sich der Angelegenheit anzunehmen... --A.Savin 23:06, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Vorab nur mal zur Info: "Exposure time 1/200" oder "ISO-400" etc. zählen auch nicht zu meinen leidenschaftlichen Kategorien. Ich habe es meinem Bot beigebogen, nachdem irgendein eher pedantisch veranlagter Mitstreiter diese immer wieder gesetzt hat. Das ist dann konsequent und mir persönlich lieber. (Und das ist auch die Ursache für manche andere Sache, die ich meinem Bot beigebracht habe.) Nun zu dem doch eher schwerwiegenden Thema. Ich kann auch nicht jeden deiner Kommentare nachvollziehen (Wolken bei den Featured Pictures), aber doch sind sie nicht ohne Grund. Da habe ich im deutschsprachigen Teil der exzellenten Bilder schon ganz anderes erlebt und mich daher dort auch zurückgezogen. Ich hatte schlicht "den Kaffee auf". Und genau da tummeln sich (teilweise) auch diejenigen, die derzeit im Forum schreiben. Das ist das typische Verhalten, welches ich in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia auch finde - teilweise von denselben Leuten. Die Mitdiskutanten sind recht gute bis gute Fotografen - und bevor wir uns falsch verstehen, ich schätze ihre fotografische Arbeit -, die aber einerseits die Regeln bei QIC nicht akzeptieren wollen (Dateiname/Titel) oder aus deren Sicht überflüssige Kategorien nicht setzen wollen. Und irgendwie kommt mir immer de:Die_Muppet_Show#Waldorf_und_Statler in den Sinn. Die Diskussion verfolge ich bereits seit einigen Tagen mit einem gewissen Kopfschütteln und vermisse etwas, was es in der Wiki(pm)edia-Welt nicht gibt: einen Moderator. Mal ganz abgesehen davon, dass ich manchmal an den Umgangsformen zweifele. Das sah man auch im Umfeld eines meiner Kommentare auf der Seite. Mir fehlt schlicht die Zeit, um gegen ein derart konsequentes Ablehnen u. a. der QIC-Regeln anzudiskutieren. Und ganz ehrlich, ich verstehe auch nicht, warum man immer wieder "olle Kamellen" aufwärmt. Dass die Bewertung bei QIC alles andere als homogen ist, dürfte doch angesichts der daran teilnehmenden Personen klar sein. Ich sehe es eher gelassen und versuche schweren Herzens dieser Art der ergebnislosen, Zeit raubenden Diskussion auszuweichen. Man erwähnte ja bereits, dass es ein Clübchen der sich gegenseitig bewertenden Personen gibt. Zu diesem Clübchen werde ich sicherlich auch gezählt. Dem Ganzen könnte man ja entgegentreten, indem man für QIC (und FPC/VIC) wirbt und versucht neue Leute zu bekommen. Die Leute des Clübchens sind in meinen Augen die einzigen Mitstreiter, die sich eher konsequent beteiligen - mehr nicht. Aber in dem Stil des Meckerns und Motzens findet man keine neuen Bewerber. Aber wenn es helfen sollte, werde ich auch einen Kommentar in der (leidigen) Diskssion ergänzen. Aber mehr wird es sicherlich nicht werden. Es wird ja doch ergebnislos und mir sind andere Dinge wichtiger. Ich hoffe, zumindest dir (und manch anderem, der schon einmal derart Erwähnung fand) durch meinen Kommentar zu helfen. --XRay ^talk 05:06, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Ich habe mal einen Kommentar in Form einer Anregung ergänzt. --XRay ^talk 11:04, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Danke für die Mühe --A.Savin 11:15, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Moss-Roadster

Hallo Dietmar, Du hast recht, dass mein Bild eines Moss-Roadsters rechts ein bisschen besser sein dürfte bzw. dass das Stück vom Heck des anderen Autos stört. Aber bei solchen Oldtimerveranstaltungen ist es leider oft so, dass die Fahrzeuge sehr dicht beieinanderstehen. Manchmal lässt sich mit Retusche etwas machen, aber nicht immer. Dasselbe gilt für Personen, von denen man mitunter den Eindruck hat, dass sie sich absichtlich ins Bild stellen. - Schönen Dank, dass Du das Foto trotz des kleinen Mangels positiv bewertet hast. Ich bin gespannt, ob nicht von anderer Seite Negativbewertungen kommen. Herzliche Grüße -- Spurzem ([[User talk:Spurzem|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 18:50, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Es muss halt nicht immer perfekt sein. Die meisten von uns sind Amateure und das Gesamtbild stimmt. Kleine Fehler sollten wir uns (und anderen) zugestehen - und ein wenig Gelassenheit. Warum soll ich dann mit Contra stimmen? Die Geo-Koordinaten fehlen auch, aber es ist eine Kategorie des Events angegeben. Meines Erachtens nach völlig OK. Mit ein wenig weniger Perfektionismus gewinnen wir vielleicht auch ein paar neue Fotografinnen und Fotografen dazu. Fehler sollte man aber durchaus anmerken, auch wenn es ein Pro gibt. Man sollte schon die Chance auf eine Verbesserung, ein Hinzulernen bieten. Und erlaube mir die Bemerkung: Ich bin froh, dass es hier nicht so zugeht wie in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia, auch wenn ich manchmal recht bemerke, wer sich auf beiden Plattformen austobt. Und erlaube mir die Bemerkung, dass für mich auch die Tatsache entscheidend ist, dass ein Bild hier eine Bereicherung ist. Die Problematik der Oldtimertreffen mit eng stehenden Autos und vielen Leuten ist mir durchaus geläufig. Ich habe da noch immer die Idee, unsere hiesigen Oldtimersammler anzusprechen und deren Autos individuell zu fotografieren. (Eine Anfrage an einen Oldtimersammler läuft derzeit sogar - mit Unterstützung eines Kollegen.) Da haben ja alle was von. --XRay ^talk 19:15, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Problems

• Some pages show the error Lua error in mw.wikibase.entity.lua at line 34: The entity data must be a table obtained via mw.wikibase.getEntityObject. This problem happens on pages with a Lua module that uses Wikidata. The developers are working on fixing the problem. You can fix a page by opening it for editing and then saving without changing anything. [144]
• Wikidata and German Wikipedia could not be edited for an hour on 28 July. You can read why and how we could avoid it in the future in the incident report.

Changes later this week

• Some wikis already have the larger and brighter OOjs UI edit page buttons. All remaining wikis except Commons will have these from 1 August. [145]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 August. It will be on all wikis from 3 August (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 August at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The default font in the edit window will soon change for some users. Instead of using the browser default it will be monospace. Users can change this in their preferences. This should only change this for some users on Macs and iOS devices. [146]

Tech News: 2017-32

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

Recent changes

• You can now see which Wikipedia language versions are read in a specific country. This tool is called Wikipedia Views Visualized. [147]
• The Architecture Committee is now the Wikimedia Technical Committee. You can read the charter. [148]

Problems

• You can get an email when a page on your watchlist was edited. You can choose not to get emails for minor edits. There is a bug that means that you then don't get an email when someone does a normal edit after a minor edit. The developers are working on fixing this. Until it has been fixed you can activate "int:tog-enotifminoredits" at the bottom of "int:prefs-personal" in your preferences if you want to. [149]
• The thanks button sometimes didn't work for mobile users. This was because of a new bug and has now been fixed. [150]

Changes later this week

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

Future changes

• Editors and readers who still use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP will not be able to use Wikipedia. Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP can't connect securely to the wikis. When we allow them to do so it means that we get less security for everyone else. If you use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP you can install Firefox 52 ESR instead. Around 0.1% of the traffic to the Wikimedia wikis comes from Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP. [151]
• Links to sections on Wikipedia don't work well in languages that don't use the Latin script. The URL in the address bar in your browser shows Latin characters like .D0.A1.D1.81.D1.8B.D0.BB.D0.BA.D0.B8 instead of the section heading in the wiki's language. Links to sections in non-Latin scripts will be in the script of that wiki in the future. This will happen in the next few months. [152][153]
• Wiki pages printed by the web browser "Print" function will have an updated style. This new style will be similar to the when you download a page as PDF. It will be better at showing tables, infoboxes and headings. [154][155]

Fehlende Schärfe in meinen Bildern

Hallo XRay,

Du hast bei einigen meiner letzten Bilder fehlende Schärfe bemängelt (womit Du auch Recht hast). Hier führst Du eine zu grosse Blende an. Ich glaube nicht, dass die Blende das Problem ist. Bei den meisten MFT-Objektiven liegt die maximale Schärfe irgendwo bei f/4-5.6. Die Schärfentiefe von f/5.6 entspricht f/11 FF, das sollte also auch nicht das Problem sein. Zur maximalen Schärfe beim verwendeten Objektiv siehe bitte [hier (die Grafik weiter unten)].

Mein Problem ist, dass ich zwei Tage vor dem Urlaub dieses neue Objektiv (Pancake 28 mm) erhalten habe, ohne es vorher zu testen. Leider ist die Qualität weit unter der meiner anderen MFT-Objektive. Derartige Unschärfe am Rand und in den Ecken kenne ich bisher überhaupt nicht. Pech gehabt, Dumm gelaufen. Da ich das Ding nicht wieder zurückgeben kann, werde ich es an den Kundendienst schicken, weil dermassen schlecht sollte es nicht sein.

Trotzdem vielen Dank für Deine Kommentare und Deine Reviews!

Viele Grüsse,

--Basotxerri ([[User talk:Basotxerri|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 16:37, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Schärfe ist schon ein leidiges Problem. Oft ist sie rund um f/8 am besten. Deine Bilder habe ich durchgesehen und es fehlte an Schärfe, es war aber noch akzeptabel. So pauschal kann man meiner Meinung nach nicht f/5.6 mit f/11 bei speziellen Objektiven gleichsetzen. "F" ist ja die Brennweite und somit gibt der Wert das Verhältnis der Brennweite zur Öffnung wieder, mehr nicht. Und die Schärfentiefe ist dann bei den Brennweiten unterschiedlich. Aber sei es drum, ähnliche Erfahrungen habe ich auch schon gemacht. Mal hilft ein Aufenthalt beim Service, mal ist die Linse einfach nur mangelhaft. Zumindest kurz vor dem Urlaub mache ich ungern Anschaffungen, die sich später als unkalkulierbar herausstellen. Und eines muss man bedenken: Auch die eigenen Ansprüche steigen, man wird immer kritischer. Meinen größten innerlichen Zwist habe ich immer, wenn ich das Motiv wirklich toll finde, aber jede Aufnahme irgendeinen Mangel hat. Insofern wünsche ich dir immer tolle Motive im richtigen Licht! --XRay ^talk 16:51, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Danke Template:Smile Ich denke, ich werde noch eine Testreihe mit verschiedenen Blenden fahren! Viele Grüsse aus dem Baskenland! --Basotxerri ([[User talk:Basotxerri|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 18:01, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Good evening XRay,

What a surprise. A Barnstar of you. Thank you very much.

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

Recent changes

• You can now test the new Timeless skin on the test wiki and mediawiki.org. You can turn it on in your preferences. You can report bugs in Phabricator. It will come to more wikis soon. [159][160]
• Your watchlist can now have the option to unwatch pages. You have to turn this on in your preferences. [161]
• If a table has several columns you can often choose which column you want to use to sort the table. This has not worked for some columns for readers who have used Firefox or Safari. This has now been fixed. [162]
• The RelatedArticles extension has shown related pages on Wikivoyages. You will now see the related pages at the end of the article together with an image. Previously the links were in the sidebar. Wikis that want this extension can request it on Phabricator.

Changes later this week

• Videos will now be played in the WebM format in all browsers. Previously some browsers used Ogg Theora (.ogv). If you use Safari, Internet Explorer or Edge you may see slower playback speed at high resolutions. Instead we will get better quality and smaller file size. You can still upload video as Ogg files. They are automatically converted to WebM. This doesn't affect Ogg audio files. [163]
• The default font in the edit window will change for some users this week. Instead of using the browser default, it will be monospace. Users can change this in their preferences. This should only change this for some users on Macs and iOS devices. [164]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 August. It will be on all wikis from 24 August (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 23 August at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 22 August at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

File:Raeren - tombe de Carl Leopold Pabst - 01.jpg

Bonjour (désolé, je vais communiquer en français),

Cette image que vous avez catégorisée (logiquement) comme étant dans la catégorie World War I memorials in Belgium n'est pas un monument belge car Raeren était en 1914 situé dans l'Empire allemand.

Avez-vous des suggestions concernant une catégorie où ajouter cette photo en lien avec l'Empire allemand ?

Bien à vous.

--H₂O^(talk) 19:38, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Just translated by Google Translator. Today the gravestone is in Belgium, so Belgium is OK. I can't find a category Category:German Empire or Category:Belgium in World War I. But you can try it. There are a lot of categories. ;-) --XRay ^talk 19:48, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes, today in Belgium is OK. This is not a World War I memorials from Belgium. Thanks to look to a better categorisation. --H₂O^(talk) 19:53, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-35

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

Recent changes

• Syntax highlighting is now a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It will come to right-to-left wikis later. This beta feature is based on CodeMirror. [165][166]
• You will now get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account and fails. If they try from a device or IP address that have logged in to your account before you will be notified after five failed attempts. You can turn this off or choose to get an email notification in your preferences. You can also turn on to get an email when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address. [167]

Problems

• Some pages show the error Lua error in mw.wikibase.entity.lua at line 34: The entity data must be a table obtained via mw.wikibase.getEntityObject. This problem happens on pages with a Lua module that use Wikidata. This has now been fixed and no new pages will get this problem. You still need to fix pages that were broken before and still show the error message. You can see how on this page. [168]

Changes later this week

• You can block users from sending you notifications. [169]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 August. It will be on all wikis from 31 August (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 29 August at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the next meeting with the Technical Committee. The topic this week is Migrate to HTML5 section ids. The meeting will be on 30 August at 21:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• In the future you will have global preferences. This means you could set something in your preferences to work in the same way on all wikis. You will not be forced to use global preferences. The developers are now asking if editors need exceptions. This is where you want to use global settings on almost all wikis, but have some wikis where you want it to work in a different way. If you want this you need to tell the developers now. You can do so on the talk page. [170]
• New filters for edit review is a beta feature to improve recent changes pages. It will work on watchlists from 5 September. [171]
• The jQuery library will be upgraded to version 3 in September 2017. Wikis can ask on Phabricator to get it early, so they can help find and solve problems now.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 is weer begonnen!

Beste BASEPAGENAME,

Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 is vorige week begonnen! Aan deze fotowedstrijd nemen dit jaar 54 landen deel, waaronder bijvoorbeeld Nederland, Groot Brittannië, Thailand, Rusland, Oekraïne, maar ook de eilanden Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Eustatius en Sint Maarten in de Nederlandse Caribean. Je wordt dus van harte uitgenodigd om te kijken tussen de deelnemende landen of jouw vakantieland er ook bij zit dit jaar en je foto's uit die landen ook te delen!

Net als voorgaande jaren hebben we prijzen voor de mooiste foto en de meeste foto's en een keus gemaakt voor een speciale categorie. Heb jij een foto gemaakt van een monument waarvan voor 1 september 2017 nog geen afbeelding op Wikimedia Commons bestond? Dan doet de afbeelding mee in de speciale categorie! Heeft een monument nog geen foto in de monumentenlijst op Wikipedia, dan is het aannemelijk dat we er nog geen foto van hadden. Om het zoeken naar monumenten zonder afbeelding wat makkelijker te maken, kun je op Wikipedia lijsten en een kaart van Nederland vinden.

Tot slot nodigen we je nog van harte uit om volgende week met ons op pad te gaan. Op zaterdag 16 september wandelen we tijdens een Wiki Takes rond in Hoorn: op zondag 17 september doen we hetzelfde in Leiden. Onder ervaren gidsen wandelen we langs monumenten in de stad en nemen we ruimschoots de tijd om de monumenten goed op de foto te zetten. Aanmelden verplicht en plaatsen gelimiteerd!
Tot en met 30 september heb je de tijd om je foto's up te loaden: de top 10 gaat door naar de internationale wedstrijd, waar de hoofdprijs de nieuwste Canon EOS 5D camera is!

Veel succes gewenst,
het Nederlandse Wiki Loves Monuments team 17:42, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

• Users with extremely old browsers (for example Netscape 2–4, released from 1995–1997) which do not support Unicode will no longer be able to edit. They should try to install a new browser. [189]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 September. It will be on all wikis from 28 September. (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 27 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Foundation Readers department has proposed changing the mobile website. You can read more on mediawiki.org. This would be a big change.
• You can't use OCG to create PDFs after 1 October. This is because of technical problems. You can still create PDFs. Tech News 2017/37 said the function to create PDFs from books would still work. It is now clear it will not work for the next few months. The developers are working on fixing this. You can read more on mediawiki.org.

Tech News: 2017-40

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

Recent changes

• You can now use preload features in the visual editor. This means you can create links to create new pages and some text will already be in the edit window when someone clicks on it. [190]

Changes later this week

• If you have turned on "int:betafeatures-auto-enroll" you will now get the 2017 wikitext editor. Before this you had to turn it on manually even though it is a beta feature. [191]
• Special:Block and Special:Unblock will get the OOUI look. [192]
• The jQuery library will be upgraded to version 3 on all Wiktionary wikis from 2 October. It will be on all non-Wikipedia wikis from 4 October. It will be on all wikis from 5 October. [193]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 October. It will be on all wikis from 5 October (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 3 October at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2017-41

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

Recent changes

• The number of active users listed by {{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}} and on Special:Statistics will now only include Wikidata edits as activity on Wikidata and not on other wikis too. [195]
• Previously you could create wiki links starting with two colons. Now you need to use one colon. [[::File:X.jpg]] now has to be [[:File:X.jpg]]. There is now a new Linter category. You can see a list on Special:Linterrors/multi-colon-escape. The Linter extension helps you find technical errors in articles. You can read more about using Linter. [196]

Problems

• You will not be able to edit or upload files to Commons for around 30 minutes on 11 October. This will start at 06:00 UTC. This is because of work to let Commons show 3D models. [197]

Changes later this week

• The font in the edit window is monospace by default. Today you can change preferences to another font family or use "the browser default" instead of monospace. Switching to the browser default has only changed the font on Macs. The option to use browser default will be removed this week. [198]
• If you want to print a page or make a PDF of a page you can do so in the side menu. The way the pages look when you do this will change. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 October. It will be on all wikis from 12 October (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 October at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2017-42

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

Recent changes

• When you edit a template with the visual editor it follows the template's format configuration on how to save it. You can now change the format in more powerful ways if your wiki wants it. [199][200]
• The TwoColConflict extension is a new way to solve edit conflicts. It makes it easier to copy and paste the relevant text to the text field. It has been a beta feature for the last five months. You can now try out the new interface on a page where you will actually get simulated edit conflicts. You can give feedback to the developers.

Problems

• There is a problem with recent changes pages and your watchlist that show a large number of pages. Until it is fixed, Wikidata edits will not be shown on recent changes or in your watchlist on Commons or Russian Wikipedia. If necessary, Wikidata edits will be removed from all wikis. [201]
• Notifications are not working for some actions. For example some users don't get a notification when they are mentioned. The developers are working on fixing this. [202]
• Users on some wikis could not change their preferences. This has now been fixed. [203]

Changes later this week

• Editors and readers who still use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP will not be able to use Wikipedia from 17 October. Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP can't connect securely to the wikis. When we allow them to do so it means that we get less security for everyone else. If you use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP you can install Firefox 52 ESR instead. Around 0.1% of the traffic to the Wikimedia wikis comes from Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP. [204]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 October. It will be on all wikis from 19 October (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 17 October at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

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

Recent changes

• You can use ccnorm_contains_any when you create an abuse filter. This can be used to look for multiple words or phrases within a string. It will find words where some characters have been replaced. You can read more in the documentation. [205]

Changes later this week

• When you search in some languages the search function could use specific other languages if the first language didn't work. This is called a fallback language. This didn't work properly and created bad searches. The search index is being fixed to work better. [206]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 October. It will be on all wikis from 26 October (calendar).

Structured Commons newsletter, October 25, 2017

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Rama published an article about Structured Commons in Arbido, a Swiss online magazine for archivists, librarians and documentalists: original in French, illustrated and the article translated in English.
• We now have a dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• Join the community focus group!
• Translation. Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• The documentation and info pages about Structured Data on Commons have received a thorough update, in order to get them ready for all the upcoming work. Obsolete pages were archived. There are undoubtedly still a lot of omissions and bits that are unclear. You can help by editing boldly, and by leaving feedback and tips on the talk pages.
• We have started to list tools, gadgets and bots that might be affected by Structured Commons in order to prepare for a smooth transition to the new situation. You can help by adding alerts about/to specific tools and developers on the dedicated tools page. You can also create Phabricator tasks to help keep track of this. Volunteers and developers interested in helping out with this process are extremely welcome - please sign up!
• Help write the next Structured Commons newsletter.

Presentations / Press / Events

Audience at Structured Commons design discussion, Wikimania 2017

• Structured Data on Commons was presented at Wikimania 2017 in Montréal for a packed room. First design sketches for search functionality were discussed during a breakout session. Read the Etherpad reports of the presentation and the breakout session.
• Katherine Maher, Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, answered questions on Quora. One of her answers, mentioning Structured Data on Commons, was republished on Huffington Post.
• Sandra Fauconnier, Amanda Bittaker and Ramsey Isler from the Structured Commons team will be at WikidataCon. Sandra presents Structured Commons there (with a focus on fruitful collaboration between the Wikidata and Commons communities). If you attend the conference, don't hesitate to say hi and have a chat with us! (phabricator task T176858)

Team updates

The Structured Commons team at Wikimania 2017

Two new people have been hired for the Structured Data on Commons team. We are now complete! :-)

• Ramsey Isler is the new Product Manager of the Multimedia team.
• Pamela Drouin was hired as User Interface Designer. She works at the Multimedia team as well, and her work will focus on the Structured Commons project.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!

Research

Design research is ongoing.

• Jonathan Morgan and Niharika Ved have held interviews with various GLAM staff about their batch upload workflows and will finish and report on these in this quarter. (phabricator task T159495)
• At this moment, there is also an online survey for GLAM staff, Wikimedians in Residence, and GLAM volunteers who upload media collections to Wikimedia Commons. The results will be used to understand how we can improve this experience. (phabricator task T175188)
• Upcoming: interviews with Wikimedia volunteers who curate media on Commons (including tool developers), talking about activities and workflows. (phabricator task T175185)

Development

In Autumn 2017, the Structured Commons development team works on the following major tasks (see also the quarterly goals for the team):

• Getting Multi-Content Revisions sufficiently ready, so that the Multimedia and Search Platform teams can start using it to test and prototype things.
• Determine metrics and metrics baseline for Commons (phabricator task T174519).
• The multimedia team at WMF is gaining expertise in Wikibase, and unblocking further development for Structured Commons, by completing the MediaInfo extension for Wikibase.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Join the next IRC office hour and ask questions to the team! It takes place on Tuesday 21 November, 18.00 UTC.

Warmly, your community liaison, SandraF (WMF) ([[User talk:SandraF (WMF)|int:Talkpagelinktext]])

Herzlichen Glückwunsch ...

Hallo Dietmar, ich quetsche mal einfach noch meine Glückwünsche zu Deinen drei Gewinnerbildern bei Wiki Loves Monuments unter den nicht nachlassenden Strom Deiner ausgezeichneten Aufnahmen, vor denen ich nach wie vor stets nur den berühmten Hut ziehen kann! Das gilt selbstredend auch für das toll umgesetzte Fotowochenende im Kloster Stift zum Heiligengrabe. Ich nehme an, die Canon EOS 5D Mark III hättest Du gerne behalten... Ansonsten hoffe ich, dass Du auch selbst mit Deinen Platzierungen bei Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 zufrieden bist. Schön ist auf jeden Fall, dass das Münsterland/Tecklenburger Land wieder mit mehreren Aufnahmen unter den Siegerfotos vertreten ist. In diesem Sinne alles Gute und weiter Gut Licht! --J.-H. Janßen ([[User talk:J.-H. Janßen|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 12:49, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Template:Ping Hallo Jan-Herm! Zuerst einmal Glückwünsche zurück. Du hast ja ein paar tolle Platzierungen erreicht. Ich habe das Ergebnis am Rande mitbekommen. Derzeit bin ich gut ausgelastet und da bleibt zu wenig Zeit. Mit meinen Bildern bin ich zufrieden, ich habe auch kaum welche nominiert. Es hat sich einfach nicht ergeben, zumal auch das gewonnene Wochenende vom letzten Jahr einigen Aufwand erzeugt hat. Neben der Vorbereitung und dem Wochenende selbst gab es wochenlange Nacharbeit. Es war aber eine tolle Erfahrung, denn je mehr man Zeit hat, sich auf Motiven einzulassen und Dinge auszuprobieren, desto besser werden die Aufnahmen. Es ist Klasse, wenn man das Vertrauen hat und quasi überall im Kloster hingehen kann - natürlich nimmt man auf den Klosterbetrieb Rücksicht. Und ja, du hast Recht, die von Wikimedia Österreich geliehene Kamera ist schon toll. Das Weitwinkel-Zoom-Objektiv ist allerdings auch toll, aber in der Kombination mit der Kamera trägt man auch mehr als 2,5 Kilogramm durch die Gegend. Spätestens das Wochenende hat auch die Weichen für meinen Vollformatwunsch gestellt. Die APC-C-Kamera erfüllt nicht mehr ganz meine Ansprüche. Ich hoffe, dass wir uns bei einem der nächsten Stammtische treffen können. Bisher hatte ich viel Pech mit den Terminen. --XRay ^talk 17:38, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Schließe mich dem allgemeinen Schulterklopfen an. Auch von mir einen Glückwunsch, XRay, dass du wieder erfolgreich Bilder in den Top-100 platziert hast. Ich weiß nicht, ob du auf meiner Diskussion mitgelesen hast. Ich bin auf jeden Fall ebenfalls vor Kurzem auf Vollformat umgestiegen. Ich hatte immer Angst, dass die Ausrüstung dann mörderschwer wird, zumal ich ja gern die Alpen bereise und alles auch noch mitschleppen muss. Aber die neue Kamera mit f4/24-70mm ist leichter als meine alte APS-C-Kamera mit f3,5-4,5/16-80mm. Und das schöne ist, ich kann meine (ganz) alten analogen Optiken per Adapter anschließen und es funktioniert wunderbar! Du wirst einen Umstieg nicht bereuen. VG --Watzmann ^Talk 18:17, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Auch an dich kann ich die Glückwünsche zurückgeben, denn auch deinen Namen fand ich auf der Gewinner-Liste. Und der Umstieg wird kommen. Vorgesehen war der Wechsel schon, dann wieder auf 2018 verschoben, aber nun sieht es doch nach diesem Jahr aus. In der Nacht und bei strukturreichen Motiven (Baumrinde, Laub, Gras) hat mir APS-C zu viele Einschränkungen. Die Ergebnisse mit der Leihkamera im Frühjahr waren überzeugend. Mal schauen, was so kommt. --XRay ^talk 19:22, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

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

Changes later this week

• The diff you see when you compare two different versions of a page has changed on MediaWiki.org and the test wiki. This is to make it easier to find a text change in a moved paragraph. It will hopefully soon come to more wikis. You can report bugs in Phabricator. [212]
• A new user group on Commons will be able to upload MP3 files. The plan is to have this user group from 17 November. [213]
• Wikis using Flagged Revisions will get the New filters for Edit Review by default on the recent changes pages. It will be possible to opt-out in user preferences. [214]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 November. It will be on all wikis from 16 November (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 15 November at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Support for uploading and viewing 3D models is coming soon to Wikimedia Commons. The feature will support the .STL file format. You can see an example on the test wiki. [215]

Please, can you review one photo?

Dear Dietmar Rabich, firstly sorry for my English and thank you very much for you advices in quality images section. I'm not very good to correct photos but i try to do all to have a a little better my photo, please can you review at the last time? If it is not good i try to take other photos in next time.--Armenak Margarian ([[User talk:Armenak Margarian|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 19:44, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Template:Ping I've check your image. Now there is not enough room at the left and the right. IMO it's better to have a look to all your other photographs. Sometimes there are images which can't be improved enough. It's an image to learn from it. With the next photograph you'll remember and choose another perspective, another view. And so your images will become better and better. Just a hint: An easy way to fix a lot of issues as a software like Adobe Lightroom. --XRay ^talk 08:33, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

• If you use the Chrome web browser on Android you can see a download icon on the mobile website. You can download a formatted PDF. It will work in other mobile browsers in the future. [216]
• The abuse filter now has a function called get_matches. You can use it to store matches from regular expressions – one of each capturing group. You can read more in Phabricator.

Problems

• Last week's MediaWiki version didn't come to all Wikipedias because of a database crash. It will be on all wikis on 20 November. [217][218][219]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 21 November at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 22 November at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Language converter syntax will no longer work inside external links. Wikitext like http://-{zh-cn:foo.com; zh-hk:bar.com; zh-tw:baz.com}- must be replaced. You will have to write -{zh-cn: http://foo.com ; zh-hk: http://bar.com ; zh-tw:http://baz.com }- instead. This only affects languages with Language Converter enabled. Examples of such languages are Chinese and Serbian. This will happen next week. [220][221]

• It is now possible to upload MP3 files to Commons. Only users with MP3 file upload rights can upload MP3 files. [225]
• You can now use live updates for recent changes if you use the new filters. This feature updates the filtered recent changes every three seconds when you activate it. [226]
• There is an experimental onion service for Wikimedia projects. [227]

Changes later this week

• Very old versions of the Opera Web browser are no longer supported. This means that technical development will not be tested to make sure it works with those Opera versions. Use Opera 15 or above or another browser if you have problems. [228]
• Almost 170 wikis with no high-priority errors in Linter categories will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. A few larger wikis such as German and Italian Wikipedia will also make this switch. It will happen on 5 December. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [229][230]

Tech News: 2017-50

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

Recent changes

• URLs that link to sections on Wikimedia wikis with non-Latin scripts have looked like this: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия#.D0.98.D1.81.D1.82.D0.BE.D1.80.D0.B8.D1.8F instead of https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия#История. This has now been fixed on all wikis. Old links will still work. [232]
• A new tag marks edits where a redirect was created or removed. This still works when the editor writes something else in the edit summary. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. [233]
• If you use Chrome on Android, you can now use the print to PDF button to create a PDF of an article. [234]
• Filter by number of edits or filter by time range have been grouped on a same menu on the recent changes page if you use the new filters. The "int:rcfilters-show-new-changes" link is now more prominent. [235]
• Some of the web fonts that were provided by the Universal Language Selector extension are being removed. This is to reduce the load time on pages. The web fonts were added many years ago to help users read text in scripts which did not have fonts or had broken fonts. This is not the case any more. You can check the status page for a list of all web fonts and whether they are currently being used and especially for special requirements. [236]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 December. It will be on all wikis from 14 December (calendar).

Tech News: 2017-51

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

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2018.

Problems

• When you import a page from another wiki the usernames of the users who edited the article on the wiki you imported it from are shown in the article history. This should link to the users on the original wiki. A script to fix this caused problems for Wikidata and German Wikipedia. It also created a large number of SUL accounts on wikis where editors had never edited. [237]
• Some bot owners got email about their bots logging in from a new computer. If this is from one or a couple of wikis, you can turn these messages off in your preferences on those wikis until the problem has been solved. If not, you can report more about the problem in Phabricator.

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on #time:j xg at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Files on Commons will have structured metadata in the future. The developers are now looking for examples of different kinds of metadata to make sure they are aware of them when they build prototypes for structured data on Commons. You can read more and help by giving examples of interesting media files.
• The Structured Commons team are making sure Commons work with structured data. If you regularly contribute to Commons and Wikidata you can answer a survey that helps the team prioritise the tools that are important for the Commons and Wikidata communities. The survey ends on 22 December. You can read more on Commons. You can also help the team decide on better names for "captions" and "descriptions". This ends on 3 January 2018.
• The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey has now ended. You can see the results. They decide what the Community Tech team will work on next year.

File:Trier, Hohe Domkirche St. Peter -- 2015 -- 6128.jpg

@ Dietmar, hast du noch das unentzerrte Original?

Halb entzerrt hätten die Ecktürme nicht diese komisch schiefen Mützen, denn dann würden die Dächer einigermaßen zu den Wänden passen.

Beste Grüße,

--Ulamm ([[User talk:Ulamm|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 19:09, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Selbstverständlich liegt mir das Originalbild vor. Ich lösche nur recht selten - oder versehentlich. Und du hast recht, es sieht doch etwas komisch aus. Ist mir seinerzeit nicht aufgefallen. --XRay ^talk 19:12, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Ich habe es mal ein wenig korrigiert. Bei der kurzen Brennweite sieht das nicht entzerrte Bild eher schrecklich aus. So ist vielleicht ein guter Kompromiss gefunden. --XRay ^talk 19:36, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
