Letzte Änderungen

• Es gibt eine neue Benutzereinstellung für "Immer den abgesicherten Modus aktivieren". Durch diese Einstellung werden Seiten ohne On-Wiki-JavaScript und -Stylesheets geladen. Dies kann für das Erkennen von Fehlern bei defekten JavaScript-Helferleins hilfreich sein. [1]
• Definitionen von Helferleins haben nun eine neue Option "contentModels". Die Option übernimmt eine Liste von Inhaltsmodellen, wie wikitext oder css. Helferleins, die diese Option nutzen, werden nur auf Seiten mit den angegebenen Inhaltsmodellen geladen.

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

• Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 3 Oktober verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 4 Oktober. Auf allen Wikis ab 5 Oktober (Kalender).

Zukünftige Änderungen

• Im Skin Vector 2022 werden benutzerdefinierte Styles und Skripte von Vector Legacy (2010) nicht mehr genutzt. Die Änderung wird später in diesem Jahr oder Anfang 2024 erfolgen. Siehe wie du die CSS- und JS-Seiten in deinem Wiki anpassen kannst. [2]

Newsletter der Jungwikipedianer (3. Oktober 2023)

Hallo Zabe,
viel Spaß beim Durchlesen des Newsletters!

Neuigkeiten

• Das Treffen wurde auf Frühjahr 2024 verschoben. Die Abstimmung für Zeit und Ort findet gerade statt (sogar mit neuen Abstimmungsmöglichkeiten); also meldet euch und stimmt unbedingt bis zum 15. Oktober ab.
• Der Wettbewerb zum Bild des Quartals steht an. Das heißt: Foto machen, hochladen, nominieren und gewinnen!
• Die nächste Videokonferenz findet am 30. Oktober statt. Für nähere Infos siehe hier.

Hin und Weg

Wir begrüßen diesmal leider niemanden.

---

Wir verabschieden uns von unserem Mitglied Philatelist39, welcher aufgrund von Inaktivität ausscheiden musste.

Tipps und Triqqs

Falls du gerne andere Jungwikipedianer direkt erkennen willst, ist das Skript markJWP etwas für dich! Ähnlich wie es für Admins bekannt ist, sorgt das Skript für eine Kennzeichnung aller Jungwikipedianer. Ihre Benutzer- und Diskussionsseiten werden mit den Buchstaben „JWP“ gekennzeichnet (während die Admins ein „A“ bekommen). Einbinden kannst du das Skript auf deiner persönlichen Unterseite common.js. Wie du dies machst, siehst du hier.

Kurioses

Habt ihr euch schonmal gefragt, warum es Toilettenkabinen gibt, bei denen ein großer Spalt zwischen Ende der Abdeckung und dem Boden und/oder zwischen den Türen vorhanden ist und welche, die komplett geschlossen sind? Erstere sind besonders in den USA bei öffentlichen Toiletten verbreitet. Laut One Point Partitions, einem großen US-amerikanischen Toilettenkabinenhersteller, kann neben Sicherheitsgründen ein Grund sein, dass Beschäftigte durch das niedrigere Maß an Privatspähre eher zur Arbeit zurückkehren wollen und sich so die Produktivität erhöht. Dazu passt, dass in den USA, wo diese Kabinen am meisten verbreitet sind, die Arbeitsstunden pro Person einen höheren Wert erreichen als in den meisten europäischen Ländern. Über diese und weitere Toiletten-Unterschiede zwischen den USA und verschiedenen Teilen Europas wird in einem interessanten Youtube-Video berichtet.

Neues aus der Artikelwerkstatt...

Graf von Rüdesheim hat mit diesem Artikel den dritten Platz beim Wettbewerb „Artikel des Quartals“ im Juni belegt. Es gab zwar auch nur drei eingereichte Artikel, jedoch ist das besondere an diesem Artikel, dass es sein erster selbst verfasster Artikel ist. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Michael Graber (* 3. Juni 1981 in Visp; heimatberechtigt in Steg, Turtmann und Niedergesteln) ist ein Schweizer Politiker (SVP), Rechtsanwalt und Notar.  – Zum Artikel …

Neues aus dem Fotostudio

Auf seinem Kurzurlaub in Lübeck hat MrBenjo auch mehrere Kirchen besucht. Am besten gefiel ihm die Marienkirche, von deren Kreuzrippengewölbe er direkt ein Foto gemacht hat. Mit dem Bild belegte er den dritten Platz beim Wettbewerb zum Bild des Quartals im Juli 2023.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2023-43

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Typhoon Rusa Please be bold and help translate this article! Typhoon Rusa was the most powerful typhoon to strike South Korea in 43 years. It was the 21st JTWC tropical depression, the 15th named storm, and the 10th typhoon of the 2002 Pacific typhoon season. It developed on August 22 from the monsoon trough in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, well to the southeast of Japan. For several days, Rusa moved to the northwest, eventually intensifying into a powerful typhoon. On August 26, the storm moved across the Amami Islands of Japan, where Rusa left 20,000 people without power and caused two fatalities. Across Japan, the typhoon dropped torrential rainfall peaking at 902 mm (35.5 in) in Tokushima Prefecture.
