Hello Geopoet, thanks for working on this wiki in your language.
We updated the list of priority translations
and I write you to let you know. The language used by this wiki (or by you in your preferences) needs
about 100 translations or less
in the priority list. You're almost done!
Tangani na magdugang o maghira nin mga dakitaramon sa gabos na wiki, gamiton an
translatewiki.net
, an lokalisasyon na proyekto kan MediaWiki.
Please
register on translatewiki.net
if you didn't yet and then
help complete priority translations
(make sure to select your language in the language selector). With a couple hours' work or less, you can make sure that nearly all visitors see the wiki interface fully translated.

For
interface messages
(translated at
translatewiki.net
), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (
+21.7%
). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).
For
documentation messages
(on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (
+20.3%
). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).
We published some graphs
showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.
Recent improvements

Auto-fill features for citations
can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the
citoid service
to convert a
URL
or
DOI
into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick,
simple process at mediawiki.org
. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the
instructions at mediawiki.org
Your wiki can customize the first section of the
special character inserter
in VisualEditor. Please follow the
instructions at mediawiki.org
to put the characters you want at the top.
In other changes, if you need to fill in a
CAPTCHA
and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit
Vega-based graphs
. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.
Future changes
baguhon an source
The team will be changing the
appearance of selected links
inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A
recent controlled trial
showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the
July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase
. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.

Educational features:
The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the
Kasugponan
and
⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽
tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (
T108620
) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (
T112354
) More in-software educational features are planned.
Links:
It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (
T74108
T91285
) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (
T109498
T110347
T63558
) These
"magic links"
use a custom link editing tool.
Uploads:
Registered editors can now
upload images
and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "
Insert
Midya
" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.
Mobile:
Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (
T85630
) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (
T111894
) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "
Delete
" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (
T62110
) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.
Rich editing tools:
You can now add and edit
sheet
music
in the visual editor. (
T112925
) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (
T114227
T113354
) When editing
formulæ
and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of
graphs
; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.
On the
English Wikipedia
, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under
Special:Preferences
Future changes
baguhon an source
You will soon be able to
switch from the wikitext to the visual editor
after you start editing. (
T49779
) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a
single edit tab.
T102398
) This project will combine the "
Baguhon
" and "
Baguhon an source
" tabs into a single "
Baguhon
" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "
Baguhon

A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button. Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.
If you prefer having separate edit buttons, then you can set that option in your preferences, either in a pop-up dialog the next time you open the visual editor, or by going to
Special:Preferences
and choosing the setting that you want:
The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently.

Testing opportunities

Please try the new system for the
single edit tab
on
test2.wikipedia.org
. You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences.
Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at
the feedback topic on mediawiki.org
or
sign up for formal user research
(type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
Remember my last editor
Always give me the visual editor if possible
Always give me the source editor
, and
Show me both editor tabs
. (This is the current state for people already using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese?
Language engineer
David Chan
needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at
What to test
if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (

Hi WAM Organizer! Hopefully everything works just fine so far!
Need Help Button
, post in any language is fine
Here are some recent updates for you, and as always, let me know if you have any idea, thought or question.
IMPORTANT: Asian Language Wikipedia will exclude the language speaking country from the Asian Month so we can encourage editors write something about other part of Asia. E.g., Chinese Wikipedia will exclude Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Indian language Wikipedia will exclude India. If you have problems with that, please let me know.
I've posted the tool instruction and newest postcard rules on each Wiki' event page. Make sure you translate it. In short: 4 articles get one card, 15 get another one (Special one), and the Ambassador gets another one.
We will still allow two Ambassadors if top and second contributors have more than 30 accepted articles, just like last year. Please send this information to high-quantity participant to encourage them.
Please create
this talk page template
and linked in Wikidata. Judging tool will add this template to submitted articles automatically.
The judging tool should work fine. If not, talk to me.
You may put this template on your user page if you like it.
en:Template:User WAM organizer
Optional: Judging Tool Interface may not available in your language. If you feel needed, you can
translate the interface at here
Invite some active contributors from your wiki to participate. And please encourage editors who can speak more than one language participate to other WAM edition.
Indic Community:
CIS-A2K
will provide fund if you would like to organize an offline event of Wikipedia Asian Month.

Hi WAM Organizer! Hopefully everything works just fine so far!

, post in any language is fine
Here are some recent updates for you, and as always, let me know if you have any idea, thought or question.
Additional souvenirs (e.g. Stickers, bookmarks) will sent to Ambassadors and active organizers.
I'm doing some basic statistics at
Result page
every week, in case you are interested.
I've already sent noticfication to global top 20 users that WMF will give global top 3 contributors a free Wikimedia T-shirt. Here are the rules:
A participant's article count is combined on all language Wikipedias they have contributed to
Only Wikipedia Asian Month on Wikipedia projects will count (no WikiQuote, etc.)
The global top 3 article count will only be eligible on Wikipedias where the WAM article requirement is at least 3,000 Bytes and 300 words.
Please make sure enforce the rules, such as proper references, notability, and length.
International organizers will double check the top 3 users' accepted articles, so if your articles are not fulfilling the rules, you might be disqualified. We don't want it happened so please don't let us make such a decision.
Rest of Global top 10 users will also get some WAM souvenirs.

Hi WAM organizers! It's now half way! Good job! Here are some updates:
As many of you may notice, that the judging tool has came back to normal.
I've set up a result page with some numbers in it. It may not accurate, just as a reference at this time.
WAM should get more media coverage. If you can help (either locally or internationally), please let me know!
Please considering start judging articles if you have not yet. it's really important to give feedbacks to participants so they can improve articles or get motivated.
With your help, I may start the first round of address collection before WAM ends for who already have four accepted articles and organizers, as I promised to improve the postcard sending process this year.
Feel free to reach out to me for any question! At

Tool problem
If you can not submit articles via judging tool, use
this meta page
to do so. Please spread this message with local participants.
Here are what will come after the end of WAM
Make sure you judge all articles before December 5th, and participants who can improve their contribution (not submit) before December 10th.
Participates still can submit their contribution in November before December 2nd at
this page
. Please let your local wiki participates know. Once you finish the judging, please update
this page
after December 5th
There will be three round of address collection scheduled: December 2nd, December 7th, and December 20th.
Please report the local Wikipedia Asian Ambassador (who has most accepted articles)
on this page
, if the 2nd participants has more than 30 accepted articles, you will have two ambassadors.
I will announce the name of Wikipedians who will able to pick a Wikimedia T-shirt from Wikimedia Store for free after I re-check their contributions.
There will be a progress page for the postcards.
Some Questions
It could be a case that local organizer does not agree on an article if shall accept it or not. In this situation, the judging tool will highlight the conflict articles in the "article's list". Please review other's opinion, and resolve the conflict by changing your decision or discuss with other judges.

Did you know that you can review your changes visually?
When you are finished editing the page, type your edit summary and then choose "
Repasohon an saimong mga kaliwatan
".
In visual mode, you will see additions, removals, new links, and formatting highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.
The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history. You can read and help translate
the user guide
, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the
VisualEditor Team
has spent most of their time supporting
the 2017 wikitext editor mode
which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding
the new visual diff tool
. Their workboard is available
in Phabricator
. You can find links to the work finished each week at

Recent changes

new wikitext editing mode
is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The
2017 wikitext editor
has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to
Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures
to enable the
⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽
A new
visual diff tool
is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components.
The team have added
multi-column support for lists of footnotes
. The
block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can
request multi-column support
for your wiki.
You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this.
The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow.
The
Categories
item has been moved to the top of the
Page options
menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access.
There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there.
You can now create
tags (sometimes used as
) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor.
Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed.
The
Special character
menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer,
Tpt
A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page. This has been fixed. The team are sorry for the disruption.
There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations:
Control
Shift
on a PC, or
Command
Shift
on a Mac. It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is
Control
or
Command
respectively.
Future changes
baguhon an source
The team is working on a syntax highlighting tool. It will highlight matching pairs of
tags and other types of wikitext syntax. You will be able to turn it on and off. It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017.
The kind of button used to
Pasirip
Ipahiling an mga pagbabago
, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors. The new buttons will use
OOjs UI
. The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read. The labels will remain the same. You can test the new button by editing a page and adding
&ooui=1
to the end of the URL, like this:
The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes.
The
outdated 2006 wikitext editor
will be removed later this year. It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors. See
a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org
if you are uncertain which one you use.

Did you know?
Did you know that you can now use the
visual diff tool
on any page?
Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.
If you
enable the Beta Feature
for "
⧼visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-label⧽
", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.
In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.
This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.
You can read and help translate
the user guide
, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since
the last newsletter
, the
Editing Team
has spent most of their time supporting
the 2017 wikitext editor mode
, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving
the visual diff tool
. Their work board is available
in Phabricator
. You can find links to the work finished each week at
mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings

are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.

The
2017 wikitext editor
is
available as a Beta Feature
on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at
mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance
The
visual diff tool
was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also
enable the new Beta Feature
for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and
Special:RecentChanges
Wikitext syntax highlighting
is available as a Beta Feature for both
the 2017 wikitext editor
and the 2010 wikitext editor.
The
citoid service
automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up.
Your wiki can have this service. Please
read the instructions
. You can
ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki

The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming
Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting
Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact
Dan Garry
The
block can
automatically display long lists of references in columns
on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can
request multi-column support
for your wiki.

Please make sure enforce the rules, such as proper references, notability, and length.
International organizers will double check the top 3 users' accepted articles, so if your articles are not fulfilling the rules, they might be disqualified. We don't want it happened so please don't let us make such a decision.

The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the
mobile site
. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:
Section editing
The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
The team studied this with an A/B test.
This test showed
that contributors who could use section editing were
1% more likely to publish
the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
Loading overlay
The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.
Section editing and the new loading overlay are
now available to everyone
using the mobile visual editor.

to answer this question.
Usability improvements

. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable. Most editors will not be affected.
New discussion tool
: The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions. You can
see the initial design on the project page
Research on the use of talk pages
: The Editing team worked with the
Wikimedia research team
to study how talk pages help editors improve articles. We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

More than
50 million edits
have been made using the visual editor on desktop.
Seven years ago this month, the
Editing team
offered the visual editor to most Wikipedia editors. Since then, editors have achieved many milestones:
More than
50 million edits
have been made using the visual editor on desktop.
More than
2 million new articles
have been created in the visual editor. More than 600,000 of these new articles were created during 2019.
The visual editor is
increasingly popular
. The proportion of all edits made using the visual editor has increased every year since its introduction.
In 2019,
35% of the edits by newcomers
(logged-in editors with ≤99 edits) used the visual editor. This percentage has
increased every year
Almost
5 million edits on the mobile site
have been made with the visual editor. Most of these edits have been made since the Editing team started improving the
mobile visual editor
in 2018.
On 17 November 2019, the
first edit from outer space
was made in the mobile visual editor. 🚀 👩🚀
Editors have made more than
7 million edits in the 2017 wikitext editor
, including starting
600,000 new articles
in it. The
2017 wikitext editor
is VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode. You can
enable it in your preferences

The number of comments posted with the Reply Tool from March through June 2020. People used the Reply Tool to post over
7,400 comments
with the tool.
The
Reply tool
has been available as a
Beta Feature
at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The
first analysis showed positive results
More than
300 editors
used the Reply tool at these four Wikipedias. They posted more than
7,400 replies
during the study period.
Of the people who posted a comment with the Reply tool, about 70% of them used the tool multiple times. About 60% of them used it on multiple days.
Comments from Wikipedia editors are positive. One said,
أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة.
("I think the tool has a significant impact; it saves time to reply while the classic way is to move with a mouse to the Edit link to edit the section or the page which is generally far away from the comment. And the user reaches to the edit box so quickly to use the Reply tool.")
The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August. Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages. If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell
User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)
The Reply tool is still in active development. Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to
customize the edit summary
. (The default edit summary is "Reply".) A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode. This feature searches for usernames. Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to
set its own preferred symbol
for pinging editors. Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can
define a preferred signature prefix
in the page
MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix
. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.
New requirements for user signatures
baguhon an source
The
new requirements for custom user signatures
began on 6 July 2020. If you try to create a custom signature that does not meet the requirements, you will get an error message.
Existing custom signatures that do not meet the new requirements will be unaffected
temporarily
. Eventually, all custom signatures will need to meet the new requirements. You can
check your signature and see lists of active editors
whose custom signatures need to be corrected. Volunteers have been contacting editors who need to change their custom signatures. If you need to change your custom signature, then please
read the help page
Next: New discussion tool

Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the

Completion rates for comments made with the Reply tool and full-page wikitext editing. Details and limitations are in this
report
The
Reply tool
is available at most Wikipedias.
The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out
preference
to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
It is also available as a
Beta Feature
at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following
these simple instructions
Research notes:
As of January 2021,
more than 3,500 editors
have used the Reply tool to post about
70,000 comments
We have preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool.
Junior Contributors
who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.
The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.
Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for
Special:LintErrors
A large
A/B test
will start soon.
This is part of
the process
to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at
24 Wikipedias
will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. You can still turn it on or off for your own account in

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (
Source
Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of
the Reply Tool
. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped
newer editors
communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were
more likely
to post a comment on a talk page.
The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also
less likely
to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to
resolve a technical challenge
. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the
Wikipedias that participated in the study
. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "
Discussion tools
in Beta Features
now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in
