VisualEditor newsletter for Janaury 2014

Did you know?

To add templates, go to the "Insert" menu and choose the "Transclusion" (puzzle piece) item. Enter the name of the template and click "Add template". If TemplateData exists for the template, then a list of possible parameters will appear. If not, you can add parameters yourself by typing the parameter name under "Add parameter". For unnamed parameters, use numbers ("1" for the first unnamed parameter).

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has worked mostly minor features and fixing bugs. A few significant bugs include working around a bug in CSSJanus that was wrongly flipping images used in some templates in right-to-left (RTL) environments (bug 50910) a major bug that meant inserting any template or other transclusion failed (bug 59002), a major but quickly resolved problem due to an unannounced change in MediaWiki core, which caused VisualEditor to crash on trying to save (bug 59867). This last bugs did not appear on any Wikipedia. Additionally, significant work has been done in the background to make VisualEditor work as an independent editing system.

As of today, VisualEditor is now available as an opt-out feature to all users at 149 active Wikipedias.

The character inserter tool in the "Insert" menu has a very basic set of characters. The character inserter is especially important for languages that use Latin and Cyrillic alphabets with unusual characters or frequent diacritics. Your feedback on the character inserter is requested. In addition to feedback from any interested editor, the developers would particularly like to hear from anyone who speaks any of the 50+ languages listed under Phase 5 at mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts, including Breton, Mongolian, Icelandic, Welsh, Afrikaans, Macedonian, and Azerbaijani.
meta:Office hours on IRC have been heavily attended recently. The next one will be held this coming Wednesday, 22 January at 23:00 UTC.
You can now edit some of the page settings in the "options" dialog – __NOTOC__ and __FORCETOC__ as selection (forced on, forced off, or default setting; bugs 56866 and 56867) and __NOEDITSECTION__ as a checkbox (bug 57166).
The automated browser tests were adjusted to speed them up and bind more correctly to list items in lists, and updated to a newer version of their ruby dependencies. You can monitor the automated browser tests' results (triggered every twelve hours) live on the server.
Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide was updated recently to show some new and upcoming features.

Looking ahead: The character formatting menu on the toolbar will get a drop-down indicator next Thursday. The reference and media items will be the first two listed in the Insert menu. The help menu will get a page listing the keyboard shortcuts. Looking further out, image handling will be improved, including support for alignment (left, right, and center) and better control over image size (including default and upright sizes). The developers are also working on support for editing redirects and image galleries.

Subscriptions to this newsletter are managed at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter. Please add or remove your name to change your subscription settings. If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you!

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Sujith nalini chellappan may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Apostolic Pastoral Congress

Hello Faizan. Thank you for your 'orphan' notice on my 'Apostolic Pastoral Congress' page. I have now created a link from the 'Churches Together in England' wikipage. For this reason, I have taken the liberty of removing your 'orphan' notice. I hope this was the correct thing for me to do!! If not, then I do apologize to you. Do feel free to reinstate the notice. As soon as time permits, I shall be creating a wikipage on APC's presiding prelate Archbishop Agama, and I shall then cross-link both ways, from Dr Agama's wikipage to the APC wikipage and vice versa. If I am doing these things wrong, do please tell me. On further thought, I could also create a link from 'J Delano Ellis' and from the 'Pentecostal Churches of Christ' in the USA, and I'll do just that now. Bye for now. Diakonias (talk) 20:43, 30 January 2014 (UTC).

Hello Diakonias and a warm welcome to you! You have obviously got the "liberty" to remove that tag, you do not need my permission. And you need not to apologize to me; because I don't own Wikipedia. The article Apostolic Pastoral Congress is no more an orphan and you did absolutely right in removing the tag. Thanks, and Welcome to Wikipedia~! Fai zan 08:04, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Faizan. And, thank you too for your warm welcome. I am fairly inexperienced at editing on Wikipedia, whereas you are clearly an experienced editor. So, for that reason I thought it appropriate to be rather deferential in my comments. Thank you for reviewing my page. I guess this means it has passed its first hurdle without need for major review having been identified. Take care. God bless. Diakonias (talk) 18:09, 31 January 2014 (UTC).

WikiCup 2014 January newsletter

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

12george1 (submissions) and TropicalAnalystwx13 (submissions) were the first people to score, for the good article Tropical Storm Bret (1981) and its good article review respectively. 12george1 was also the first person to score in 2012 and 2013.
Sven Manguard (submissions) scored the first ITN points for 2014 North American polar vortex.
WonderBoy1998 (submissions) scored points for an early good topic, finishing off Wikipedia:Featured topics/She Wolf.
TheAustinMan (submissions) scored the first bonus points of the competition, for his work on Typhoon Vera.
Igordebraga (submissions) has scored the highest number of bonus points for a single article, for the high-importance Jurassic Park (film).

Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.

Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi Mikrobølgeovn. I am keeping a watch at the article. User:Ersroitasent was blocked three days back for violating 1RR, and he has done it again, I have taken the matter to WP:AN3. Fai zan 02:49, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Agnosticism

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Agnosticism you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Jamesx12345 -- Jamesx12345 (talk) 21:40, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks James. Fai zan 13:27, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

If I may interject here, according to WP:LEAD the lead should not contain refs and the material should be in the body (citing proper sources) and a summary should be included in the lead. I notified you about it before the review commenced so that you could get some time over-hand to solve it. Thanks. Soham 17:02, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

But according to WP:LEADCITE, citing the sources in the lead is not prohibited. It is not compulsory that the lead should not contain the references. Fai zan 08:28, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Be careful with AWB

Please be careful when making high-speed changes with AWB. In 1954 Birthday Honours you changed "Intin" to "Intinct", evidently without looking at it. In fact "Intin" was correct – it was the person's name. This was one of five pages that you changed in the same minute! Slow down a little and look at what you're "fixing". Thanks! Stanning (talk) 11:18, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Reviewed tags on Joseph Chamberlain. Joseph Chamberlain needs more references, most of the sections are not referenced. In Arnold Lupton, the references are OK except the ref1. The concerned reference is derived from Template:Rayment-hc, which I cannot sort out. Fai zan 05:03, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

On 16 February 2014, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Agnosticism, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the word "agnosticism" was coined by biologist Thomas Henry Huxley? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Agnosticism. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has worked on some small changes to the user interface, such as moving the reference item to the top of the Insert menu, as well as some minor features and fixing bugs, especially for rich copying and pasting of references.

The biggest change was the addition of more features to the image dialog, including the ability to set alignment (left, right, center), framing options (thumbnail, frame, frameless, and none), adding alt text, and defining the size manually. There is still some work to be done here, including a quick way to set the default size.

The main priority is redesigning the reference dialog, with the goal of providing autofill features for ISBNs and URLs and streamlining the process. Current concept drawings are available at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog. Please share your ideas about making referencing quick and easy with the designers.
A few bugs in the existing reference dialog were fixed. The toolbar was simplified to remove galleries and lists from the reference dialog. When you re-use references, it now correctly displays the references again, rather than just the number and name. If you paste content into a dialog that can't fit there (e.g. ==section headings== in references), it now strips out the inappropriate HTML.
You can now edit image galleries inside VisualEditor. At this time, the gallery tool is a very limited option that gives you access to the wikitext. It will see significant improvements at a later date.
The character inserter tool in the "Insert" menu is being redesigned. Your feedback on the special character inserter is still wanted, especially if you depend on Wikipedia's character inserters for your normal editing rather than using the ones built into your computer.
You can now see a help page about keyboard shortcuts in the page menu (three bars next to the Cancel button) (T54844).
If you edit categories, your changes will now display correctly after saving the page (T50560).
Saving the page should be faster now (T61660).
Any community can ask to test a new tool to edit TemplateData by leaving a note at T53734.

Looking ahead: The link tool will tell you when you're linking to a disambiguation or redirect page. The warning about wikitext will hide itself after you remove the wikitext markup in that paragraph. Support for creating and editing redirects is in the pipeline. Looking further out, image handling will be improved, including default and upright sizes. The developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments, some behavioral magic words like DISPLAYTITLE, and in-line language setting (dir="rtl").

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) 04:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Are you sure?

I undid This edit. please see the discussion in wp:LRQ (circa end of September 2013), and mw:Manual:PAGENAMEE_encoding#PAGENAME. peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 15:53, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

As far as assurance is concerned, I am sure that occurence is not the correct word; occurrence is. But the grammatically erroneous occurence is used both here and in MediaWiki and in the talk page threads. Fai zan 16:09, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

my question was not about the misspelling - your edit actually changed the code also. you are more than welcome to correct the spelling, but please try not to botch the code... peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 17:33, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

just noticed this was done through AWB... you probably didn't even notice that the edit modified the code. i guess the lesson here is: please do not edit pages in Module namespace using AWB... peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 17:58, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

@קיפודנחש Yes, the edit was done by AWB, anyway the solution is fine. I will simply filter the module space next time using AWB to avoid false-positives. Fai zan 13:22, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

orphan edit to Squitter

Hello, I just noticed an edit by you using AWB. to the Squitter page-it states that there are no links to it.. I think this is wrong as DME, TACAN, Secondary radar and Mode S all link to it-is this wrong? Just wondering if the edits you made are correct, kind regards--Read-write-services (talk) 00:56, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that article is an orphan, which means that there are no articles that link to it as of February 20. The links that you have cited are contained in the article and they have nothing to do with the articles that link to Squitter. Please see WP:DO for more. Fai zan 13:30, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey Faizan, at least Virtual Reality links to this page, so its no orphan as far as I can tell. Best Regards Oliver — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omsgomsg (talk • contribs) 11:17, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey, Distance measuring equipment links to it now, so the orphan tag ought to be removed. Regards. Fai zan 13:15, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:

This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Tottenham Bluegrass Festival

Hello, Faizan. Please check this article again and see if the tag can be removed. —Anne Delong (talk) 17:03, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello Anne. An underlinked article is the one, which needs additional internal links to other Wikipedia articles. You did nice improvements here, so the tag ought to be removed. Best regards. Fai zan 13:14, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
