Solicitud de tutoría

¡Hola! Me gustaría poder colaborar con la edición de texto en Español, pero no entiendo como puedo iniciar sin causar inconvenientes. Las paginas cambian, sí, pero no hay el paso a paso y quedo perdido. Por ejemplo, ya hice un pequeñísimo cambio en una página, pero no recuerdo como lo hice. Me gustaría añadir algo a una pagina de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, a la cual llegué por casualidad. La información está en Wikipedia en Inglés así:

Universia was founded in July 9, 2000 in Madrid, Spain. Universia is a network that consists of 1,401 universities in 20 countries: Andorra, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Spain, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal , Dominican Republic and Uruguay. It has 20 internet sites, one for each country, and a global site which offers information and contents from across the network. Universia network represents 10.1 million students, 8 million users and 850,000 university teaching staff (75% of the total number of students and staff in these countries); the network is sponsored by Santander Bank.

Ya hice la traducción, pero no sé como encontrar la página nuevamente para incluir la traducción.(estaba escrita en rojo). Mil gracias. --Legna azul (discusión) 14:45 1 may 2020 (UTC)

Solicitud de tutoría

Hola, soy nueva aquí y decidí crear un artículo llamado Miss Supranacional el cual trabaje en mi taller:Usuario:Rocio445/Taller/1. Este artículo fue borrado mediante una consulta de borrado pero decidí trabajarlo nuevamente pero me marcaron varios puntos que no puede ser sometido a nueva consulta ya que encontraron varios errores como demasiada información sin interés a modo de publicidad, faltas de ortografía, negritas, fotografías repetidas etc. Me gustaría que me ayudarás a mejorarlo para que pueda ser sometido a una nueva consulta. — El comentario anterior sin firmar es obra de Rocio445 (disc. • contribs • bloq).

Solicitud de tutoría

Estimada/o Joan:

Te contacto en relación a una página que tuve que editar, dado que colaboro para un legislador. Actualicé la información de la misma e incorporé links y referencias a notas, vinculadas a su trayectoria, instituciones y publicaciones realizadas en medios prestigiosos y reconocidos, pero noté que aparece un par de alertas en la publicación, en uno de ellos se me recomienda consultar un tutor, de ahí mi intención en contactarte.

Podría contar con tu asesoramiento y colaboración al respecto? De ser así, podrías indicarme cómo sería el procedimiento? Esta es mi primer experiencia al respecto.

Desde ya muchas gracias. --Wiki Master2017 (discusión) 05:53 11 may 2020 (UTC)

 Respondido aquí. --JOAN ~ ^{(Pregúntame aquí)} 19:14 17 may 2020 (UTC)

Correcciones ortográficas

Hola JOAN:

He visto que te ofreces como tutor para "Primeros pasos por Wikipedia, traducciones, imágenes, ortografía, gramática, referencias y de todo un poco". Verás, yo me dedico en esta Wikipedia a corregir errores menores. Recientemente he corregido un artículo, y otro usuario me ha comentado que los pie de fotos no llevan punto final. He buscado en la RAE [1] y no he visto que esto sea así. Se lo he comentado al otro usuario, y me envía el siguiente enlace [2]. He estado buscando algún usario que en su página comente sus conocimientos de la Lengua Española, aunque la mayoría de los que he encontrado han estudiado Ingeniería. Recurro a tí porque figuras como tutor en estos temas. ¿Me podrías ayudar?

Gracias. Un saludo. --Machucho57 (discusión) 14:40 16 may 2020 (UTC)

 Respondido aquí. JOAN ~ ^{(Pregúntame aquí)} 18:46 17 may 2020 (UTC)

Hola JOAN: Gracias por tu respuesta y disculpa si la mía se ha retrasado un poco. He encontrado un libro del que estoy disfrutando y he dejado momentáneamente de lado la Wikipedia. El motivo de mi consulta se debió a que después de corregir un artículo, un usuario revertió mi edición argumentando que los pie de fotos no llevan punto final (no era lo único que yo había corregido). Como apoyo a su argumento me remitió un enlace a una página web que no tenía nada que ver con la de la RAE (ni nada parecido). Pensando que yo podía estar equivocado, he pedido una "segunda opinión", y veo que ambos coincidimos. Gracias. Un saludo. --Machucho57 (discusión) 09:30 24 may 2020 (UTC)

Tech News: 2020-25

Estas son las últimas noticias de tecnología de la comunidad técnica de Wikimedia. Cuéntales a otras personas acerca de estos cambios. Algunos no podrían afectarte. Hay traducciones disponibles.

Recent changes

• Toolforge posee muchas de las herramientas que son creadas por la comunidad, como contadores de ediciones o editores mejorados. Actualmente se está cambiando el domino desde tools.wmflabs.org a toolforge.org. El esquema de enrutamiento se está moviendo desde tools.wmflabs.org/toolname a toolname.toolforge.org. Puedes leer los detalles de este cambio. Las herramientas que usen OAuth tendrán que actualizarse para mantenerse trabajando. Puedes pedir asistencia en caso que se necesario.

Problemas

• Hay un enlace al elemento en Wikidata en muchas páginas. Este enlace desapareció durante un par de días para los usuarios que poseen la piel (skin) Monobook. Este problema ocurrió un error en el código que ya fue solucionado. [3]
• Las acciones de editar, loguearse y desloguearse no funcionaron correctamente por un período corto de tiempo en la última semana. Este problema ya se encuentra solucionado. [4]

Cambios de esta semana

• La nueva versión de MediaWiki se instalará en los wikis de prueba y en MediaWiki.org el 16 junio. Se instalará en wikis que no son Wikipedia y en algunas Wikipedias a partir del 17 junio, y en las restantes a partir del 18 junio (calendario).

Cambios futuros

• Pywikibot es una librería que automatiza trabajo en las wikis. Ya no se entregará soporte a Python 2 tras la nueva versión en julio. El soporte para Python 3.4 y MediaWiki 1.19 y anteriores también será abandonado. Para seguir usando la librería deberás actualizar a Python 3. Aquí puedes pedir ayuda para hacerlo. [5]
• Los selectores de CSS .menu y .vectorMenu no seguirán funcionando en la piel (skin) Vector. Esto puede afectar a accesorios (gadgets) y scripts de usuarios. .menu puede ser reemplazado por ul. .vectorMenu puede ser reemplazado por .vector-menu. [6]

Contribución sobre ACOMPAÑAMIENTO TERAPÉUTICO

Joan, hace algún tiempo propuse como colaboración un texto sobre Acompañamiento Terapéutico, una especialidad en Salud Mental de creciente aceptación como herramienta auxiliar en el abordaje de pacientes con trastornos graves, que lleva más de 50 años de desarrollo en América Latina y varios países de Europa. En verdad, jamás entendí cuáles fueron los motivos por los que el texto fue censurado. Te agradecería si tienes la disponibilidad para indicarme qué habría que modificar para que sea posible incluir esta temática en Wikipedia, estimamos que resultaría muy importante compartir esta información entre los profesionales del campo de la Salud Mental, y no se entienden los motivos de tal omisión. Cordialmente Gabriel O. Pulice — El comentario anterior sin firmar es obra de Gabriel Omar Pulice (disc. • contribs • bloq).

    • Apologies for both of the problematic queries ("MWAPI searches in wikidata about people described as slave traders by citizenship" in Weekly Summary #419 and "Monuments named after/commemorating/depicting slave traders” in Weekly Summary #420).

The "Monuments named after/commemorating/depicting slave traders” in #420 incorrectly linked this query for enslaved people instead of this query for slavetraders.

Tech News: 2020-26

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• There are some new tools to make it easier for newcomers to start editing. They are available on some wikis. These wikis had a problem with the visual editor for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug in the new tools. It was soon fixed. [7]
• Some user scripts and gadgets stopped working because of a change to CSS selectors. .vectorTabs should be replaced with .vector-menu-tabs to fix this. [8]

Changes later this week

• The developers are working on a new interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This will be released on 24 June. You can give feedback. [9]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 June. It will be on all wikis from 25 June (calendar).

Future changes

• A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. It will not work after 13 July. Wikis should use TemplateStyles instead. 91 wikis still need to fix this. You can read more and see if your wiki is affected. [10]

Tech News: 2020-28

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• The Score extension has been disabled for now. This is because of a security issue. It will work again as soon as the security issue has been fixed. [13]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 July. It will be on all wikis from 9 July (calendar).

Future changes

• Abstract Wikipedia is a new Wikimedia project. It will collect language-independent information that can be easily read in different languages. It builds on Wikidata. The name is preliminary. You can read more. [14]
• The iOS Wikipedia app developers are thinking about new experimental tools. If you use an iPhone you can help them by answering the survey.
• Some rules for user signatures will soon be enforced. Lint errors and invalid HTML will no longer be allowed in user signatures. Nested substitution will not be allowed. A link to your user page, user talk page or user contributions will be required. You can check if your signature works with the new rules. This is because the signatures can cause problems for tools or other text on the page.

Las últimas noticias de tecnología de la comunidad técnica de Wikimedia. Coméntale a otros usuarios acerca de estos cambios. Algunos cambios no te afectarán. Existen traducciones disponibles.

Cambios recientes

• Un ajuste temporal ayudó a las wikis que sus páginas iniciales fueran más fáciles de navegar en las versiones móviles. Esto se implementó en 2012 y ha dejado de estar recomendado desde 2017. La página principal especial para móviles con este ajuste dejó de funcionar el 14 de julio. 60 wikis poseen páginas principal que no funcionan correctamente en su versión móvil. Puedes ver cuáles son, el mecanismo para solucionarlo y obtener ayuda para corregir el problema en Phabricator. Este es el mismo problema reportado en las Noticias Técnicas de las semanas 2020/24 y 2020/26

Problemas

• Existe un problema con los enlaces interwikis. Los enlaces interwikis son enlaces que ayudan a encontrar una página específica en un idioma distinto al actual. El ordenamiento de la lista de enlaces posee problemas, y los desarrolladores están trabajando en una solución. [23]
• Algunos usuarios están recibiendo notificaciones para el mismo evento. Algunas de esas notificaciones son de eventos antiguos. [24]
• Algunos usuarios han experimentado problemas para loguearse. Este problema se debe posiblemente a las cookies de navegador. Los desarrolladores están trabajando para entender el problema. Si posees problemas para ingresar a tu cuenta, puedes ver los detalles en Phabricator. [25]

Cambios de esta semana

• La nueva versión de MediaWiki se instalará en los wikis de prueba y en MediaWiki.org el 21 julio. Se instalará en wikis que no son Wikipedia y en algunas Wikipedias a partir del 22 julio, y en las restantes a partir del 23 julio (calendario).

Cambios futuros

• Actualmente existe un enlace para Versión para imprimir. Este enlace desaparecerá, debido a que actualmente los navegadores web pueden crear una versión para imprimir o mostrar como se verá una versión impresa. [26]

• Tool of the week
  • SQID allows you to analyse, browse and query Wikidata. SQID is inspired by Magnus Manske's Reasonator, but focuses on prominently featuring information about Wikidata classes and properties.

• Did you know?
  • Newest properties:
    • General datatypes: height of center of mass, road number formatter, Vietnamese middle name, heraldic attitude, traffic sign template image
    • External identifiers: Tree of Public Interest ID, Denkmaldatenbank Thurgau ID, DSSTOX compound identifier, South Africa EMIS code, Archive Site Trinity College Cambridge ID, WISAARD resource ID, Gateway to Research organisation ID, SÚKL code, Science Fiction Awards Database author ID, Power plant operating licence (Turkey)
  • New property proposals to review:
    • General datatypes: certified as, number of stages, convergence rate, step count, Alternative form, view, version type for works, advertisement copy
    • External identifiers: LibraryThing series identifier, Swiss Industrial Heritage ID, TOPCMB ID, Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus ID, Sports-Reference.com college basketball school ID, SAT-matrikulo, Signal number, BHF author ID, BHF magazine ID, SPLC Group ID, SPLC Individual ID, Open Civic Data Division Identifiers, RKD thesaurus ID, TCLF ID, Presence compositrices ID of composer, Presence compositrices ID of work
  • Query examples:
    • Properties and the number of constraint definition statements on them - there are quite a few with 0 constraint definitions
    • a graph of MPs and parties in the Swedish Parliament and with whom they worked together with to create motions 2018 SPOILER: >95% is just with people in the same party
    • Wealthiest queer people on Wikidata (Source)
    • Bubble chart showing the winners of the FA Cup (Source)
    • Map of parks in Oslo missing images on Wikidata (Source)
  • Commons queries:
    • Orienteerers: tinyurl.com/y25qa8ef (source, at 53:45)
    • Animal hugs: tinyurl.com/yykvj26y (source)

• Development
  • The last week was our quarterly prototyping week. We worked on the following projects. None of them are ready for prime-time yet but we'll continue with them.
    • Slices: We've had a lot of requests for accessing dumps of a smaller part of Wikidata's data since rarely anyone needs the complete data in Wikidata. The tricky part is figuring out which part is needed and if any of that can be generalized. We looked into for example how to make dump generation faster so we could potentially produce more smaller dumps that only cover a part of Wikidata's data, either thematically (e.g. humans) or by type of data (e.g. only statements and English labels and aliases but not sitelinks or descriptions).
    • REST API: As part of our effort to make it easier to access Wikidata's data for programmers we looked into a REST API. We tried to see if we could cover the existing action API modules in a REST API. We could. We'll take this as input for our ongoing API work now.
    • Improving quality ratings through ORES: ORES can judge the quality of an Item automatically. It is currently not very good at it however. We tried a few things to make it more accurate and found some easy wins we'll probably make happen in the next weeks.
    • Query manipulator: One of the ways we could potentially improve the load situation of the Wikidata Query Service is by automatically analyzing and then redirecting a bunch of queries to other systems that are more suitable for that particular type of query. The nice thing about that would be that the person/program sending the query wouldn't have to care about it but it'd be done automagically for them. We tried to build such a system and the results look very promising but more work/experimenting is needed, especially together with the WMF Search team.

Problemas

• Todas las consultas al servicio de consultas de Wikidata fallaron entre 17:50 y 17:59 UTC el jueves 23 julio. Algunas consultas fallaron durante un periodo más largo. [32]
• Los enlaces interlingüísticos fueron ordenados incorrectamente en las pasadas semanas. Esto fue mencionado en Tech News dos semanas atrás. El problema ha sido solucionado. [33]
• Hay un problema con las preferencias globales para la opción "Utilizar versión heredada de Vector". Los desarrolladores están trabajando en solucionarlo. [34]
• Un error en la extensión Wikibase había deshabilitado los tipos de protección "mover" y "crear" en el espacio principal de nombres (Galería) en Wikimedia Commons. No se pudieron agregar nuevas protecciones y no se aplicaron las protecciones existentes, lo que permitió algunos movimientos de página y creaciones de páginas que no deberían haber sido posibles. Esto ahora ha sido arreglado. [35]

Cambios de esta semana

• En la máscara MonoBook, el searchGoButton identificador es ahora searchButton. Esto puede afectar los gadgets CSS y JS. Instrucciones de migración se pueden encontrar en T255953. Esto se mencionó antes en la edición 27.
• Los operadores de Bot pueden utilizar Pywikibot para archivar regularmente discusiones. Se cambió el comportamiento del bot cuando usa counter para impedir archivos grandes. [38]
• La nueva versión de MediaWiki se instalará en los wikis de prueba y en MediaWiki.org el 4 agosto. Se instalará en las wikis que no son Wikipedia y en algunas Wikipedias a partir del 5 agosto, y en las restantes a partir del 6 agosto (calendario).

Tech News: 2020-34

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• If you revert an edit using the undo link your edit is marked with an undo tag. This will now only happen if you don't change anything in the edit window before publishing the undo. This is to keep users from marking edits as undos when they actually do something else. [43]
• The new OOUI version will not work with Internet Explorer 8. This means the wikis will look strange and not work well in Internet Explorer 8. This was reported in Tech/News/2020/17. This is because keeping the wikis working with very old browsers creates other problems. [44]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 August. It will be on all wikis from 20 August (calendar).

Future changes

• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 13:30 and 15:30 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis next week. This is a reminder. You can help by translating the announcement message. [45][46]

Tech News: 2020-37

Estas son las noticias técnicas más recientes de la comunidad técnica de Wikimedia. Informa sobre estos cambios a otros usuarios. No todos los cambios te afectarán. Hay traducciones disponibles.

Cambios de esta semana

• Se ha creado un nuevo permiso de usuario que permite a los editores borrar páginas con redirecciones existentes en la página de destino para permitirles hacer el traslado. Solo funcionará en caso de que la página de destino no tenga en el historial más edición que la creación de dicha redirección. [49]
• La nueva versión de MediaWiki se instalará en los wikis de prueba y en MediaWiki.org el 8 septiembre. Se instalará en wikis que no son Wikipedia y en algunas Wikipedias a partir del 9 septiembre, y en las restantes a partir del 10 septiembre (calendario).
• Todos los módulos API usarán de ahora en adelante watchlist en vez de watch. Antes no sucedía así. [50]

Cambios futuros

• El equipo de la App de Wikipedia para Android puede que trabaje en herramientas de patrullaje en el futuro. Puedes hacerles saber que tipo de herramientas te serían útiles a ti, o a usuarios menos experimentados. Para más información puedes leer su página de mediawiki.org
• El sistema OTRS será actualizado. Se espera que la actualización tarde alrededor de un par de días en completarse. Durante ese período los voluntarios no tendrán acceso al sistema. Los correos electrónicos enviados al sistema durante el periodo de actualización serán entregados una vez la actualización haya finalizado. El plan es comenzar sobre las 08:00 (UTC) del día 14 de septiembre, aunque la fecha no es firme y puede cambiar. [51]
• La app de Wikipedia para Android enviará notificaciones push a los usuarios si estos las solicitan. Ello servirá, por ejemplo, para avisar de la recepción de mensajes en las páginas de discusión de usuario o bien para informar cuando una edición haya sido revertida. Para que el servicio funcione es necesario contar con Google Play Services. Aunque es posible obtener la aplicación sin Google Play Services, para que el servicio de notificaciones push funcione se necesita de dicho complemento. Google Play Services es también necesario para hacer que la app funcione en los dispositivos con Android 4.4. [52][53]
• Se está estudiando la posibilidad de migrar la revisión de código hacia GitLab, aunque alojado en los servidores de Wikimedia. Si te interesa puedes participar en la consulta.
• Los menús desplegables en la piel Vector usan en la actualidad la clase .menu. Ello no funcionará en el futuro. Los scripts pueden usar nav ul en su lugar. .vectorTabs y .vectorMenu también dejarán de funcionar. Por ende, algunos scripts necesitarán ser actualizados. Puedes leer más en Phabricator.
