modificaNella conversione proofread di Un vampiro, di Capuana, edizione del 1906, c'è il problema dell'illustratore, Ezio Castellucci (1879-1064) che è ancora sotto copyright in Italia ma non negli USA. Carico comunque il testo su Commons; così il testo è salvato e a suo tempo potrà essere caricata una pagina Indice. OK? Alex brollo (disc.). 23:08, 4 ago 2024 (CEST)
Tech News: 2024-32
modificaLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Two new parser functions will be available this week:
{{#dir}}
and{{#bcp47}}
. These will reduce the need forTemplate:Dir
andTemplate:BCP47
on Commons and allow us to drop 100 million rows from the "what links here" database. Editors at any wiki that use these templates, can help by replacing the templates with these new functions. The templates at Commons will be updated during the Hackathon at Wikimania. [1][2] - Communities can request the activation of the visual editor on entire namespaces where discussions sometimes happen (for instance Wikipedia: or Wikisource: namespaces) if they understand the known limitations. For discussions, users can already use DiscussionTools in these namespaces.
- The tracking category "Pages using Timeline" has been renamed to "Pages using the EasyTimeline extension" in TranslateWiki. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.
Project updates
- Editors who help to organize WikiProjects and similar on-wiki collaborations, are invited to share ideas and examples of successful collaborations with the Campaigns and Programs teams. You can fill out a brief survey or share your thoughts on the talkpage. The teams are particularly looking for details about successful collaborations on non-English wikis.
- The new parser is being rolled out on Wikivoyage wikis over the next few months. The Wikivoyage in inglese and Wikivoyage in ebraico were switched to Parsoid last week. For more information, see Parsoid/Parser Unification.

modificaCari amici,
sono lieto di comunicarvi che ho preso l'aereo per Katowice! Purtroppo quest'anno a Wikisource non è stato accordato lo stesso spazio che a Singapore, ma non mancherò di contattare sia i pianni alti che le personalità di punta dello User group. Se avete domande e altre richieste scrivetele e me ne farò portavoce. εΔω 10:55, 7 ago 2024 (CEST)
- Primo aggiornamento: domani si terrà il meetup dei Wikisourciani: occhio al rispettivo Etherpad e se serve inviatemi domande.
- @OrbiliusMagister Ahia, sono tardi... ma se c'è ancora tempo ecco un'idea audace: l'ipotesi che Mediawiki "adotti" il morente formato djvu, collaborando al suo mantenimento. Alex brollo (disc.). 06:45, 9 ago 2024 (CEST)
- Ho Provato a sollevare il punto presso Satdeep Gill, ma non ho ricevuto risposta positiva: non è parte dello sforzo collettivo. εΔω 05:39, 22 ago 2024 (CEST)

Feature news
- AbuseFilter editors and maintainers can now make a CAPTCHA show if a filter matches an edit. This allows communities to quickly respond to spamming by automated bots. [3]
- Stewards can now specify if global blocks should prevent account creation. Before this change by the Trust and Safety Product Team, all global blocks would prevent account creation. This will allow stewards to reduce the unintended side-effects of global blocks on IP addresses.
Project updates
- Nominations are open on Wikitech for new members to refresh the Toolforge standards committee. The committee oversees the Toolforge Right to fork policy and Abandoned tool policy among other duties. Nominations will remain open until at least 2024-08-26.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in West Coast Bajau (

memoRegex e Convenzioni di trascrizione
modificaHo aperto una discussione in Discussioni_Wikisource:Convenzioni_di_trascrizione#memoRegex. Invito gli interessati (if any) a partecipare. Alex brollo (disc.). 11:16, 13 ago 2024 (CEST)
Minima modifica autoNs0
modificaPer chi usa autoNs0 (il gadget che crea il codice per pagine e sottopagine ns0, sulla base del campo Sommario della pagina Indice): ho fatto una piccola modifica, per aggiungere, alla fine delle sole sottopagine, il codice {{Sezione note}}. Se lo trovate invadente, ditemelo. Grazie! Alex brollo (disc.). 12:12, 18 ago 2024 (CEST)
- @Alex brollo, mi pare che venga messo anche quando non ci sono note. Personalmente preferisco che manchi dove ci andrebbe, piuttosto che compaia dove non ci va. Can da Lua (disc.) 17:20, 21 ago 2024 (CEST)
- @Candalua Non so se tutti hanno la buona abitudine di eseguire un preview dopo autoNs0 per dare una buona occhiata al risultato; quello potrebbe essere il momento ideale perchè Js veda se serve o non serve e modifichi il codice wiki in modo opportuno. Elimino la modifica e ci penso un po'. Grazie. Alex brollo (disc.). 21:59, 21 ago 2024 (CEST)
Avvio iscrizioni itWikiCon 2024

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!
modificaHello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on the project page.
We want your feedback to make sure this feature works well for you:
- Please try the current state of development on beta wiki and let us know what you think.
- Sign up here to get updates and/or invites to participate in user research activities.
Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.
Please help us spread the message. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-34
modificaLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Editors who want to re-use references but with different details such as page numbers, will be able to do so by the end of 2024, using a new sub-referencing feature. You can read more about the project and how to test the prototype.
- Editors using tracking categories to identify which pages use specific extensions may notice that six of the categories have been renamed to make them more easily understood and consistent. These categories are automatically added to pages that use specialized MediaWiki extensions. The affected names are for: DynamicPageList, Kartographer, Phonos, RSS, Score, WikiHiero. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match. Thanks to Pppery for these improvements. [5]
- Technical volunteers who edit modules and want to get a list of the categories used on a page, can now do so using the
categories
property ofmw.title objects
. This enables wikis to configure workflows such as category-specific edit notices. Thanks to SD001 for these improvements. [6][7]
Bugs status
- Your help is needed to check if any pages need to be moved or deleted. A maintenance script was run to clean up unreachable pages (due to Unicode issues or introduction of new namespaces/namespace aliases). The script tried to find appropriate names for the pages (e.g. by following the Unicode changes or by moving pages whose titles on Wikipedia start with
Talk:WP:
so that their titles start withWikipedia talk:
), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/ instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed. A full log (including pages for which appropriate names could be found) is available in phab:P67388. - Editors who volunteer as mentors to newcomers on their wiki are once again able to access lists of potential mentees who they can connect with to offer help and guidance. This functionality was restored thanks to a bug fix. Thank you to Mbch331 for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 18 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
- The application deadline for the Product & Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) has been extended to September 16. Members will help by providing advice to Foundation Product and Technology leadership on short and long term plans, on complex strategic problems, and help to get feedback from more contributors and technical communities. Selected members should expect to spend roughly 5 hours per month for the Council, during the one year pilot. Please consider applying, and spread the word to volunteers you think would make a positive contribution to the committee.

- The 2024 Coolest Tool Awards were awarded at Wikimania, in seven categories. For example, one award went to the ISA Tool, used for adding structured data to files on Commons, which was recently improved during the Wiki Mentor Africa Hackathon. You can see video demonstrations of each tool at the awards page. Congratulations to this year's recipients, and thank you to all tool creators and maintainers.
- The latest Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin is available, and includes some highlights from Wikimania, an upcoming Language community meeting, and other news from the movement.
