Newsletter der Jungwikipedianer (4. Februar 2024)
Hallo Zabe,
viel Spaß beim Durchlesen des Newsletters!
- In diesen Stunden trifft sich die Elite der Wikipedia (also die Jungwikipedianer). Die schlechte Nachricht: für eine Anmeldung ist es jetzt wirklich zu spät; aber die gute Nachricht: Wir diskutieren gerade über das nächste Treffen.
- Der Wikipedia:Wartungsbausteinwettbewerb/Winter 2024 läuft vom 11. bis zum 25. Februar.
- Und der Sieger des diesquartaligen Bilderwettbewerbs ist ... Wandelndes Lexikon. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
- Die nächste Videokonferenz findet am 22. Februar statt. Für nähere Infos siehe hier.
Diesmal gibt es niemanden zu begrüßen und zu verabschieden.
Hast du dich schon einmal gefragt, wie hohe Masten z. B. für Hochspannungsleitungen gebaut werden? Schließlich gibt es kaum solche hohen Kräne. In diesem Video wird gezeigt, wie ein solcher Mast gebaut wird, in dem mehrere Segmente mithilfe von Helikoptern übereinander platziert werden und in luftigen Höhen von Arbeitern miteinander verbunden werden. Dem Helikopterpilot kommt dabei eine besonders große Bedeutung zu.
Beim Wettbewerb zum Artikel des Quartals im Dezember hat Wandelndes Lexikon mit diesem Artikel den zweiten Platz belegt. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Abdi Farah Shirdon (* 1958 in Dhusamareb) ist ein somalischer Geschäftsmann, Ökonom und Politiker. Vom 17. Oktober 2012 an war er Premierminister von Somalia. Am 2. Dezember 2013 wurde er vom Parlament durch ein Misstrauensvotum abgesetzt. Zu seinem Nachfolger wurde Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed durch Präsident Hassan Sheikh Mohamud ernannt. – Zum Artikel …
Dieses Bild von Wandelndes Lexikon zeigt die Sternbrücke Weimar, das bedeutendste und älteste noch erhaltene Brückenbauwerk in Weimar. Aufgenommen hat er es vom Ufer der Ilm, in dessen Oberfläche sich die Brücke spiegelt. Beim Wettbewerb zum Bild des Quartals im Januar 2024 konnte er mit diesem Bild den ersten Platz belegen. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-06
The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article! Timurid architecture was an important stage in the architectural history of Iran and Central Asia during the late 14th and 15th centuries. The Timurid Empire (1370–1507), founded by Timur (d. 1405) and conquering most of this region, oversaw a cultural renaissance. In architecture, the Timurid dynasty patronized the construction of palaces, mausoleums, and religious monuments across the region. Their architecture is distinguished by its grand scale, luxurious decoration in tilework, and sophisticated geometric vaulting. This architectural style, along with other aspects of Timurid art, spread across the empire and subsequently influenced the architecture of other empires from the Middle East to the Indian subcontinent.

Technische Neuigkeiten: 2024-06
Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
Letzte Änderungen
- Die Versionsgeschichten in der mobilen Ansicht nutzen nun das gleiche HTML wie die Desktop-Versionsgeschichten. Wenn du von Problemen mit Bezug zur Nutzung der Versionsgeschichte in der mobilen Ansicht hörst, verweise bitte auf den Phabricator-Task.
- In den meisten Wikis können Admins Benutzer nun für bestimmte Aktionen sperren. Diese Aktionen sind: Dateien hochladen, neue Seiten erstellen, Seiten verschieben (umbenennen) und sich bedanken. Das Ziel dieser Funktion ist, es Admins zu ermöglichen, Sperren anzuwenden, die für die Aktivitäten des gesperrten Benutzers angemessen sind. Erfahre mehr über "Aktions-Sperren". [1][2]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 6 Februar verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 7 Februar. Auf allen Wikis ab 8 Februar (Kalender). [3][4]
- Permalinks auf Diskussionsseiten, die diakritische Zeichen und nicht-lateinische Buchstaben enthalten, haben nicht richtig funktioniert. Dieses Problem ist nun behoben. [5]
Zukünftige Änderungen
- 24 Wikipedias mit Einzelnachweis-Tooltips als Standard-Helferlein wird empfohlen, die Standard-Konfiguration zu entfernen. Dadurch würde die Einzelnachweis-Vorschau zum neuen Standard für Einzelnachweis-Popups werden, was zu einer konsistenteren Erfahrung über Wikis hinweg führen würde. Für 46 Wikipedias mit weniger als 4 Benutzeroberflächenadministratoren ist die Änderung bereits für Mitte Februar geplant, sofern es keine Bedenken gibt. Das ältere Helferlein Einzelnachweis-Tooltips wird weiterhin nutzbar bleiben und diese Funktion überschreiben, wenn es in deinem Wiki verfügbar ist und du es in deinen Einstellungen aktiviert hast.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-07
The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article! The Adoration of the Magi is a tondo, or circular painting, of the Adoration of the Magi assumed to be that recorded in 1492 in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence as by Fra Angelico. It dates from the mid-15th century and is now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Most art historians think that Filippo Lippi painted more of the original work, and that it was added to some years after by other artists, as well as including work by assistants in the workshops of both the original masters. It has been known as the Washington Tondo and Cook Tondo after Herbert Cook, and this latter name in particular continues to be used over 50 years after the painting left the Cook collection.

This is a great way to share your ideas, solicit community input and ask questions about resources or tools. This will be an open mic session, completely informal. Please add yourselves to the list on our agenda here if you would like to talk for 5 minutes or so. You can share your screen if you like, but there’s no need for slides. Or just show up and talk on the spur of the moment. This will be a community session where we welcome all to participate! Agenda

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-09
The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article! The doorway effect is a known psychological event where a person's short-term memory declines when passing through a doorway moving from one location to another when it would not if they had remained in the same place. People experience this effect by forgetting what they were going to do, thinking about, or planning upon entering a different room. This is thought to be due to the change in one's physical environment, which is used to distinguish boundaries between remembered events: memories of events encountered in the present environment are more accessible than those beyond it. (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

Technische Neuigkeiten: 2024-09
Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
Letzte Änderungen
- Der mobile Visual Editor ist in einer kleinen Anzahl von Wikis nun der Standard-Editor für Benutzer, die zuvor noch nie editiert haben. Forschungsergebnisse haben gezeigt, dass Benutzer, die diesen Editor verwenden, etwas erfolgreicher die begonnenen Bearbeitungen veröffentlichen und etwas weniger erfolgreich nicht zurückgesetzte Bearbeitungen veröffentlichen. Benutzer, die den Wikitext-Editor als Standard auf dem Desktop definieren, werden für ihre erste mobile Bearbeitung den mobilen Wikitext-Editor erhalten. [22]
- Der mw.config-Wert
wgGlobalGroups
enthält nun nur Gruppen, die in dem Wiki aktiv sind. Skripte müssen nicht mehr über eine API-Abfrage prüfen, ob die Gruppe in dem Wiki aktiv ist. Ein Code-Beispiel dafür ist:if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups")))
. [23]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 27 Februar verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 28 Februar. Auf allen Wikis ab 29 Februar (Kalender). [24][25]
Zukünftige Änderungen
- Das Recht zur Änderung von Bearbeitungsmarkierungen (
changetags
) wird auf Wikimedia-Seiten von Benutzern entfernt und standardmäßig nur für Administratoren und Bots beibehalten. Deine Community kann darum bitten, die alte Konfiguration in deinem Wiki beizubehalten, bevor die Änderung erfolgt. Bitte gib in diesem Ticket bis Ende März 2024 an, wenn die Einstellungen für deine Community beibehalten werden sollen.
