Salomé Zurabishvili

Hola, Sabbut, que sea un buen 2019. Te escribo por un asunto de transliteraciones y referencias. Esta política se llama Salomé Zourabichvili en francés, probablemente fuera su nombre legal hasta hace poco, pero ahora renunció a la nacionalidad francesa y su nombre se translitera Salome Zurabishvili. La prensa en castellano la llama Salomé con el apellido de acuerdo a transliteración georgiana (y el uso en los medios en inglés). ¿Nos quedamos con la prensa en castellano y es el fin de la historia? Saludos. Lin linao ¿dime? 17:08 2 ene 2019 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Category-article-count needs update

Hi! I've just noticed that one of the links generated by this MediaWiki page is broken: Quick Intersection now redirects to Petscan, so the link "Intersección" needs to be updated: please replace

https://iw.toolforge.org/catscan2/quick_intersection.php?lang=es&project=wikipedia&cats=Sabbut/Archivo/2019/01&depth=3&format=html&norun

with (I hope it is correct)

//es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Petscan.wmflabs.org/&language=es&project=wikipedia&depth=3&categories=Sabbut/Archivo/2019&interface_language=es

Thank you very much! Happy new year, --Epìdosis (discusión) 20:50 2 ene 2019 (UTC)

Maybe it's better not to use fullurl:

https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?language=es&project=wikipedia&depth=3&categories=Sabbut/Archivo/2019&interface_language=es

should be OK. Bye, --Epìdosis (discusión) 16:02 3 ene 2019 (UTC)

Hola Sr. Sabbut. Respondí a tus preguntas. ¿Fue esta "historia" (aqui: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenceslao_Casares) el problema, en última instancia? ChiefWiggins (discusión) 22:10 5 ene 2019 (UTC)

Tech News: 2019-02

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

Tech News writers, editors and translators wish you a pleasant 2019 year.

Recent changes

• RelatedSites extension has been undeployed. It was used to create interwiki links on Wikivoyage, now handled by Wikidata. [1]
• MediaWiki logstash logging is moving to a new infrastructure. This is an ongoing deployment. [2]
• codesearch.wmflabs.org has been updated, with new and updated repositories and a new search options for code. [3]
• On several wikis, an account named "Filtro antiabusos" has been created on December 17 to perform some technical maintenance on AbuseFilter. This account has sysop rights but it's a system user and no human can use it. The account already existed on wikis where AbuseFilter can perform blocks, which are issued using this account. See T212268 for more information and future plans.

Problems

• In AbuseFilter, the "Limitar" action takes three parameters: count, period and groups. They must now strictly respect the requirements listed on mediawiki.org. A list of broken filters is on Phabricator. If you're familiar with AbuseFilter, please take a look and fix them. [4]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 8. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from January 9. It will be on all wikis from January 10 (calendar).

Meetings

• Search Platform Office Hours is rescheduled to January 9. Check the details for time and date.

José Luis Corral

He intentado colocar todas las referencias posibles que he podido encontrar a botepronto sobre el autor. Casualidades de la vida, le conozco personalmente y me sorprendían algunos datos. Espero que con estas añadiduras de referencias esté al menos lidiado (por lo bajo) la falta de referencias. Si encontrara alguna más miraré si corresponde colocarla. Un saludo.

Tech News: 2019-03

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

• You can now use Google Translate in the content translation tool. [5][6]
• You can now add captions to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup.
• Earlier a quoted HTML attribute had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [7][8]
• Templates with could not show the difference between the live template and the sandbox version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. has a new wrapper parameter now. You can use it for selectors like .mw-parser-output <wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page>. [9]

Problems

• When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have tags. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [10]

Changes later this week

• You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new FileExporter. It will be a beta feature on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you activate it and check your wiki's configuration file.
• Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [11]
• The AbuseFilter variable minor_edit has been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on Special:AbuseFilter.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 15 17:54 14 ene 2019 (UTC)

Tech News: 2019-04

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

Tech News

• Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta. [12]

Recent changes

• The content translation tool can now use version 2 as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature. For example it adds the tracking category Wikipedia:Páginas con traducciones sin revisar to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category in Special:TrackingCategories on Wikipedias.
• https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF, EPUB or ODT. Previously this was 200 pages.

Problems

• When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [13]
• MassMessage is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [14][15]
• Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [16]

Changes later this week

• You will be able to use template styles in the Module namespace. [17]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 23 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
