VisualEditor newsletter—November 2014
VisualEditor is also available on the mobile version of Wikipedia. Login and click the pencil icon to open the page you want to edit. Click on the gear-shaped settings in the upper-right corner, to pick which editor to use. Choose "Edit" to use VisualEditor, or "Edit source" to use the wikitext editor.
It will remember whether you used wikitext or VisualEditor, and use the same editor the next time you edit an article.
The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor. Not all features are available in Mobile Web.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and requests, and worked on support for editing tables and for using non-Latin languages. Their weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted on Meta.
Recent improvements
The French Wikipedia should see better search results for links, templates, and media because the new search engine was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias next week, and eventually at the English Wikipedia.
The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for non-Latin languages, with full support hopefully coming soon.
VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use Internet Explorer 10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet.
The keyboard shortcuts for items in the toolbar's menus are now shown in the menus. VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme from the User Experience / Design group. The appearance of dialogs has already changed in one Mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" design and the new "MediaWiki" theme which will replace it.)
Several bugs were fixed for internal and external links. Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search program could not find the page. A link inside a template, to a local page that does not exist, will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to a error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like [1] with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed.
TemplateData
The tool for quickly editing TemplateData will be deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November. This tool is already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "Edit template data" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.
You can use the new autovalue setting to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in this example, or to add the most common response for that parameter. The autovalue can be easily overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field.
In TemplateData, you may define a parameter as "required". The template dialog in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "suggested" or "optional" in TemplateData instead.
Looking ahead
Basic support for inserting tables and changing the number of rows and columns in tables will appear next Wednesday. Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be possible later. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus will be hidden behind a "More" item, such as "underlining" in the styling menu. The appearance of the media search dialog will improve, to make picking between possible images easier and more visual. The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap.
The user guide will be updated soon to add information about editing tables. The translations for most languages except Spanish, French, and Dutch are significantly out of date. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language. Talk to us if you need help exporting the translated guide to your wiki.
You can influence VisualEditor's design. Tell the VisualEditor team what you want changed during the office hours via IRC. The next sessions are on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC and on Wednesday 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC. You can also share your ideas at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
Also, user experience researcher Abbey Ripstra is looking for editors to show her how they edit Wikipedia. Please sign up for the research program if you would like to hear about opportunities.
If you would like to help with translations of this newsletter, please subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Subscribe or unsubscribe at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter. Thank you!

안녕하세요 질문있습니다.
안녕하세요? ^^ revi님. 저는 피터교수님 수업을 듣는 학생입니다. 품앗이에 관한 아티클을 쓰려고 하는데요. 농사관련 단어를 어떻게 번역해야 할지 모르겠어서 이렇게 질문을 남깁니다.. 또 품앗이가 신뢰와 정에 기반한 한국 고유의 문화라는 말을 하고 싶었는데, 정..(그 초코파이 정이요.) 을 어떻게 번역해야할지, humence라고 하니 이해를 못하셔요. 이와 관련하여 도움주셨으면 합니다. 감사합니다.

질문
Tksgk262 (talk) 08:05, 10 November 2014 (UTC)안녕하세요!ㅎ 즐거운 할로윈보내셨나요~? 다름이 아니고, 제가 궁금한 게 있습니다. 지금 May 18th National Cemetery 라는 아티클을 제작 중에 있는데 한국 위키피디아에 이 광주 518국립묘지와 관한 두 개의 아티클이 있는데요. May 18th National Cemetery에서 저 두 개의 한글 위키피디아를 연결시켜주고 싶은데 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어요! 아, 그리고 사진을 업로드 하려고 하는데 제 소유의 사진이 아닌 기관 소유의 사진일 경우 기관에게서 사진 사용에 대한 허락을 받았습니다. 그 후, 그 기관에 위키피디아에 저작권 허용 메일에 관한 이메일을 보내달라고 문의를 하는 것이 맞나요?
- 해당 문서의 다른 언어 부분을 보면 "링크 추가"와 비슷한 내용이 있습니다. 그곳을 클릭해서 한국어 / (문서 이름)을 입력하고 추가하면 추가가 됩니다. 한국어 도움말을 여기서 보실 수 있습니다.
- 사진의 이용 허락을 이메일로 갖고 계시다면, permissions - ko
wikimedia.org 로 전달 기능으로 보내 주시면 처리하겠습니다. 아니라면, 이메일을 위 주소로 전송하도록 요청해 주세요. — revimsg 08:14, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Revi, I guess our question number one was whether the two articles on Korean Wikipedia (ko:망월묘지공원 and ko:국립 5·18 민주 묘지 should be merged? (And am I seeing correctly there is no Korean Wikipedia Wikipedia:Merging translation? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:13, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
Nope, about Interwiki connection with enwiki article and kowiki article. Also yes, no WP:Merge. We know that exist and use it, but no formal rules. — revimsg 06:21, 11 November 2014 (UTC)- Whoops, you're right. (S)he should choose one to merge and start merge discussion. (though most merge discussion is abandoned.) — revimsg 06:43, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- Would you mind starting the merge discussion? Or perhaps merging those articles? If the procedure is not very active on ko wikipedia, I guess someone just needs to do it...? (I can ask my student to do it, but first we would like to be sure it's the right thing to do...). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:24, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
- After second review on kowiki articles, it looks like it cannot be merged. First cemetary is one Chun Doo-hwan used for "throw away" the bodies, and second one is after the first semetary is considered "sacred ground", government made it to move the graves to there. So, un-mergable. His/her article should be interlinked with second one. — revimsg 04:41, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
- Are the wikidata interlinks incorrect? If so, can you fix it? And could you explain the difference between those two cemeteries in Korean to my student? We are also confused with regards to the related Wikimedia Commons gallery; is one of those cemeteries missing images? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:45, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
- No problem on iw links; Just point their article to 국립 5.18 민주 묘지 on kowiki. And I will do it in their talk page. I will look at commonscat soon. — revimsg 05:53, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello Revi C./Archives/2014. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Disambiguation link notification for November 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dong Seoul Bus Terminal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gangwon. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:17, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
Nice job. I've done some c/e, please see my recent edits. I am not sure if the sentence "One if the station goal was to serve the new Jungbu Expressway" is correct - your previous sentence about the Expressway was not clear in English, and this is the most logical guess I had. You may also want to fix the link to the Gangwon military base. Nice stub otherwise! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:52, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- Hmm, I think your word is better.
- Well, there is too much millitary base (afaik, Corp 17, 21, and so on) in Gangwon, so maybe it should link to list of Corps in S. Korea. — revimsg 10:58, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, then we can just delink this and change it to bases, plural. Btw, if you reply to me or someone else on your talk page, if you don't use {{talkback}}, may I suggest the use of {{ping}}? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:46, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

- That's cool. The most data-saving solution I can think of is the use of {{re}} - {{re|piotrus}} -> @Piotrus: for example. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:31, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
