Wikitreff tirsdag 16. januar med Thomas Hylland Eriksen rediger

Tirsdag 16. januar blir det Wikitreff på Litteraturhuset i Oslo. Amalie Skram er rommet, møtet er gratis, åpent for alle og begynner klokken 1700. Innleder Thomas Hylland Eriksens beskrivelse av tema for møtet er som følger:

Selv om mennesker har mye felles med sine nære primatslektninger, er det lite sannsynlig at en sjimpanse noen gang har undret seg over at alt er så merkelig på denne kloden. Vi er derimot nysgjerrighetsdrevne vesener, og denne egenskapen har gitt frukt i rikt monn. Wikipedia kan brukes som eksempel på mye, også menneskets enestående trang til kunnskap og innsikt. Imidlertid er det skjær i sjøen, blant annet monopolisering, relevans, fagidioti og kunnskapsfiendtlighet. I en slik verden er en institusjon som Wikipedia viktigere enn noensinne.

Som ved tidligere møter er det Wikimedia Norge som arrangerer, de er også åpne for å støtte utenbysboende som kan tenke seg å delta. Ulf Larsen (diskusjon) 13. nov. 2017 kl. 09:42 (CET)

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers rediger

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers

The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.

Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.

For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.

The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.

Takk!

Discovery of the search bar has been improved. [15]
If the Recent Changes page or the Watchlist fails to load or is time-outed, a message is now displayed. [16][17]
The bookmark icon for creating a "Saved filter" is now grayed when it is not possible to save. Before it was not visible. Bookmarking is unavailable when, for example, the current filter set is already saved. [18]

Content translation [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

List items (suggested items and in-progress/published translations) layout restyled to prevent overflows on small screen sizes.
Search results for new translation dialog are now embedded, instead of being displayed in floating menu. Search results remain displayed when tabbed out and can be closed using ESC key.
Missing pages are no longer shown when there is no match for search query. Message informing that there are no results is displayed instead.
Embedded search results enabled to provide users with more translation opportunities. Articles user recently edited (in currently selected source language wiki) are surfaced when there is no input in search bar, with additional info if article is missing in user's currently selected target language.
Long suggestion descriptions are limited to three lines, and the rest is truncated, which is indicated by ellipsis.

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

Edit-user-talk notifications are now expandable. [22]

Structured Discussions [More information • Help pages]

Future changes

Some work is ongoing to store Structured Discussions contents from HTML to wikitext. That change will allow some specific templates and magic words to work properly on Structured Discussions. [23]
Some tests are conducted in order to prepare the rewriting of Structured Discussions' interface. That rewriting will have no visible impact on users but it will ease future changes.

Other projects

Compact Language Links has been deployed on German Wikipedia. [24]
