Wikimedia Apps newsletter – Third quarter of 2024
[编辑]Hello, and welcome to the app's third newsletter of 2024! In this edition, we will highlight the accomplishments and progress made during July, August, and September 2024!
iOS Updates
Over 20,000 images have been added via the "Add an Image" feature across both iOS and Android! (T372954), good opportunity to try it yourself ;) This tool allows users to enhance Wikipedia articles by adding relevant images. It’s a great way to contribute and improve the visual experience for readers.
The iOS team kicked off the Alt Text experiment to improve image descriptions for accessibility. This feature helps ensure that visually impaired users can better understand the content of images through descriptive text.
The iOS App has been transitioning from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports both reading and editing. After adding a number of editing features, the navigation system of the app needs to grow and change to support them and future additions. Improving our navigation will allow for more app users to discover editing features, and allow experienced users quicker access to their most-used tools. This refresh incorporates findings from usability testing with multiple variants of the App's navigation. The team is currently planning phased rollouts over the coming year to improve user experience. (Phase 1: T373714)
Android Updates
Improvements were made to the Places feature in response to user feedback, including larger cluster icons and a Wikipedia logo for articles without images (T371067, T370094). Also, the team is exploring designs to allow users to explore articles from multiple language wikis simultaneously and will adjust the zoom logic to show nearby locations upon launch (T352757, T368792).
- WikiTrivia Game
The team prepared for the WikiTrivia Game during a hackathon, selecting a data source and creating initial designs (T371508, T371510).
Work began on adding Recommended Content to search, iterating on design concepts and testing performance (T371613).
The team is now engaging with several wikis to implement Machine-Assisted Article Descriptions based on prior experimental results.
- Sharing reading lists
Android users can now share reading lists with others, expanding community collaboration (T370703).
And some performance enhancements: Revision tags for app edits were successfully implemented (T366731, T366732).
得益于志愿开发者的贡献，该应用现在支持在 Pixel 设备上分享 URL (T370020).
Stay tuned for future updates as we continue to enhance your Wikipedia experience! And you can subscribe to this newsletter.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-42
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
The little Danes experiment was a 1951 Danish operation where 22 Greenlandic Inuit children were sent to Danish foster families in an attempt to re-educate them as "little Danes". While the children were all supposed to be orphans, most were not. Six children were adopted while in Denmark, and sixteen returned to Greenland, only to be placed in Danish-speaking orphanages and never live with their families again. Half of the children experienced mental health disturbances, and half of them died in young adulthood. The government of Denmark officially apologised in 2020, after several years of demands from Greenlandic officials.

- add your event to the global calendar and the map, following the instructions here: Wikidata:Twelfth Birthday/Run an event/Schedule
Press, articles, blog posts, videos
- Blogs
- Small data, slow data − a SNAIL approach to Wikidata: discusses the value of small, carefully curated datasets in the era of big data. It emphasizes the importance of taking a methodical, "snail-paced" approach to data collection and analysis, which can lead to more meaningful and accurate insights. The blogpost also highlights how this approach can complement the broader trends of big data, ensuring that detailed, high-quality data is not overlooked.
- Papers
- "WoolNet: Finding and Visualising Paths in Knowledge Graphs" given two or more entities requested by a user, the system finds and visualises paths that connect these entities, forming a topical subgraph of Wikidata (Torres Gutiérrez and Hogan)
- Videos
- Introductory workshop to Wikidata within the framework of the Latin America Contest in Wikidata 2024 (in Italian)
- GeoPython 2024: Bridging Worlds: Python-Powered Integration of Wikidata and OpenStreetMap: This talk explores Python-powered tools that integrate Wikidata with OpenStreetMap, allowing users to link entries between the two platforms to enhance geospatial data accuracy while navigating legal and ethical challenges of cross-platform data sharing.
- LD4 2024 Conference: Wikidata and Open Data: Enhancing the Hausa Community's Digital Presence
- Dynamic Mapping using Collaborative Knowledge Graphs: Real-Time SKOS Mapping from Wikidata: This presentation introduces a workflow using SPARQL queries to dynamically map live Wikidata data to SKOS concepts, featuring a Python tool that converts CSV outputs into RDF triples for integration into linked data environments and knowledge graphs, emphasizing real-time data retrieval and interoperability.

- Could making Wikidata 'human' readable lead to better AI?: Lydia Pintscher (WMDE), Portfolio Lead Product Manager at Wikidata Deutschland, discussed a new project aimed at making Wikidata more 'human' readable for Large Language Models (LLMs), which could improve AI reliability by giving these models access to high-quality, human-curated data from Wikidata.
- Notebooks
Tool of the week
- Elemwala (এলেমওয়ালা) (https://elemwala.toolforge.org): is a proof-of-concept interface that allows you to input abstract content and get natural language text in a given output language. There may well be errors with particular inputs, and the text may not be quite as natural as you might expect, but that's where your improvements to your language's lexemes, other Wikidata items, and the tool's source code come in!
- mlscores: Tool for calculating multilinguality score of Wikidata items (including properties). E.g. for Wikidata (Q2013), the scores are - en: 99.66%, fr: 89.49%, es: 84.07%, pt: 68.47%. For instance of (P31), the scores are - en: 99.86%, fr: 87.12%, es: 80.83%, pt: 61.37%.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Launch of WikiProject Deprecate P642: The goal of this project is to prepare for deprecation, and eventual removal, of the property of (P642). Currently, of (P642) is labeled as "being deprecated", meaning its use is still allowed, but discouraged. From a peak of around 900,000 uses, the property now has around 700,000 uses (see status here). Our goal is to reduce that as much as possible in a systematic way, while ensuring that appropriate properties exist to replace all valid uses of of (P642). The latter is key to officially deprecating the property. Before removing the property, we want to get as close to zero uses as possible.

[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Kharayeb (Arabic: الخرايب) is a historic town in the Sidon District in the South Governorate, Lebanon. The town is 77 km (48 mi) south of Beirut, and stands at an average altitude of 190 m (620 ft) above sea level. The town boasts a rich historical legacy, with archaeological excavations revealing a complex settlement history spanning from Prehistory to the Ottoman period. Notably, Kharayeb's origins can be traced back to the Persian period (539–330 BC), when it played a pivotal role in the region's agricultural and economic landscape, culminating in the construction of its Phoenician temple around the 6th century BC.

- CarbonBot - (1) Add default mul labels to given and family names when the item has an existing default label with a mul language (2) Remove duplicated aliases matching the items mul label, when the item has a native label in with a mul language. As mul has not been fully adopted, a limited of aliases would be modified each day to ensure existing workflows are not disrupted. It is expected that these tasks will apply to roughly 800,000 given and family names.

2024年第43期技術新聞
[编辑]維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。
本週要聞
- 行動應用程式團隊發布iOS應用程式導覽功能更新，目前已在最新的App store版本中推出。團隊新增了「個人資料」功能表，可讓您從條目顯示畫面中輕鬆存取通知和監視清單等給編輯者的功能，並將「捐款」按鈕移至更方便讀者存取的位置。這是規模龐大的導覽更新計畫的第一階段，幫助iOS應用程式從一個主要以讀者為中心的應用程式，轉變成一個完全支援閱讀和編輯的應用程式。近年來，維基媒體基金會根據志願者的請求，新增了許多編輯功能以及對維基交流的支援。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 維基百科讀者現在可以下載瀏覽器扩展程序，嘗試一些早期構想的潛在功能，包括推薦條目供進一步閱讀、自動總結條目、改善搜尋功能等。參閱網頁團隊的「內容探索實驗」頁面了解更多，訂閱電子報隨時掌握新訊。
- 本月稍晚，這12個維基的未登录編輯者將開始獲得自動建立的臨時帳號。試行維基清單可能會稍有變動——可能會移除維基，但不會再新增。臨時帳號是一種新的用户帳號類型，使未登录編輯者的隱私更受保護，也讓社群成員更容易與他們溝通。如果您在這12個維基上維護任何工具、機器人或小工具，，或可供未登入用户使用，請檢查其是否需要更新，以應對臨時帳號。參閱代码更新指南。參閱所有維基的部署計畫。
- 查看上週解決的共33個社群提交工單。 例如，南恩德貝萊語、潘諾尼亞盧森尼亞語、奧博洛語、伊班語、傣那語維基百科語言版本已於上週创建。 [17][18][19][20][21]
- 現在可以在Wikifunctions使用維基數據詞位建立函數，通过上週新推出的「維基數據詞位」類型。當您進入這些函式之一時，UI會提供一個詞位選擇器，幫助您從維基數據挑選與您輸入的單詞相符的詞位。點擊執行後，您所選取的詞位會從維基數據擷取，轉換成「維基數據詞位」類型，傳送至所選的函數中。參閱最新一期的Wikifunctions電子報了解更多。
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 維基媒體網站用户現在可以使用新的
{{#timef:…}}解析器函數，更輕鬆取得不同語言的格式化日期。例如，{{#timef:now|date|en}}顯示為「25 December 2024」，{{#timef:now|date|zh}}顯示為「2024年12月25日 (星期三)」。在此之前，{{#time:…}}可以用來格式化日期，但需要手動指定時間和日期的組成部件及順序及標點符號。#timef（或#timefl用於本地時區）提供對MediaWiki在其UI中使用的標準日期格式的访问。這能有助於簡化共享資源和元維基等多語言維基中的一些模板。 [22][23] - 共享資源和元維基用户現在可以使用
{{USERLANGUAGE}}取代{{int:lang}}來有效取得使用者語言。 [24] - 產品和技術諮詢委員會（PTAC）目前已有試行成員，代表遍及非洲、亞洲、歐洲、北美洲、南美洲。他們將針對運動策略技術委員會倡議，建立一個共同定義且更具彈性的技術平台。 [25]
深入探索
- 季刊Growth電子報新期數發布。本期內容包括：新手首頁「社群新訊」模块即將推出；新的「社群配置」選項；新项目的詳情。
- 維基媒體基金會成為通用漏洞揭露（CVE）計畫的官方合作夥伴。CVE計畫是一項國際性的工作，將公開揭露的網路安全漏洞分類。既維基媒體基金會已成為CVE編號管理者，基金會安全團隊將能夠對影響MediaWiki核心、扩展、皮肤以及基金會管理的任何代码的漏洞即時發布CVE紀錄。
- 社群願望清單正在測試願望清單內容的機器翻譯。志願者現在可以閱讀願望的機器翻譯版本，在譯者翻譯內容之前投入討論。
會議與活動
- 10月24日：維基教育講者系列線上研討會——開源技術：建立維基教育面板，由維基媒體實習生和一位網頁開發人員參與的專題討論會。
- 2024年12月20日—22日：2024年印度維基媒體布班尼斯瓦黑客松於印度奧里薩邦舉行。該黑客松為社群成員——包括開發者、設計師、內容編輯者——而舉辦，旨在建構能改善貢獻者體驗的技術解決方案。

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-49
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Storm Filomena was an extratropical cyclone in early January 2021 that was most notable for bringing unusually heavy snowfall to parts of Spain, with Madrid recording its heaviest snowfall in over a century, and with Portugal being hit less severely. The eighth named storm of the 2020–21 European windstorm season, Filomena formed over the Atlantic Ocean close to the Canary Islands on 7 January, subsequently taking a slow track north-eastwards towards the Iberian Peninsula and then eastwards across the Mediterranean Sea.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-50
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Syrian literature is modern fiction written or orally performed in Arabic by writers from Syria since the independence of the Syrian Arab Republic in 1946. It is part of the historically and geographically wider Arabic literature. The modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel as well as the Palestinian autonomous areas only came into being in the mid-20th century. Therefore, Syrian literature has since been referred to by literary scholarship as the national literature of the Syrian Arab Republic, as well as the works created in Arabic by Syrian writers in the diaspora. This literature has been influenced by the country's political history, the literature of other Arabic-speaking countries and, especially in its early days, by French literature.

2024年第50期技術新聞
[编辑]維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。
本週要聞
- MediaWiki.org文档中心更新，技術文档貢獻者現在可由此取得最新資源，並了解與社群及維基媒體技術文件團隊的新聯繫方式。該頁面提供以下連結：文档編寫與改進資源、libera.chat上的新IRC頻道#wikimedia-techdocs、過去和即將舉辦的文档相關活動清單、請求文档諮詢或審查的方法。如果您對文档生態系統有任何想法或改進意見，請聯絡技術文档團隊。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 本週稍晚，桌面版的編輯檢查框將移至側邊欄。編輯檢查功能旨在協助新手編輯者遵循方針與指引。這項版面調整騰出的空間，讓編輯者在輸入文字時，能同時看到新的檢查項目。初步結果顯示，新手在遇到編輯檢查框後，成功發布包含參考資料且未被回退的新內容編輯的可能性提高了2.2倍。
- 数据可视化工具——Chart圖表扩展已順利部署至MediaWiki.org和3個試辦維基（義大利語、瑞典語、希伯來語維基百科）。您可以在測試維基查看範例，並閱讀11月的项目更新了解更多。
- 在提供移动版內容翻譯的維基中，翻譯者現在可以從條目建議功能中的「所有收藏」分類中探索他們感興趣的維基專題活動條目。維基專題的活動籌辦人員可以使用此功能，透過將
<page-collection> </page-collection>標籤加入至元維基上的活動條目列表頁面，幫助翻譯者探索感興趣的條目。這將提高這些條目在內容翻譯工具中的能見度。關於如何使用該工具和標籤的詳情，請參閱逐步指南。 [46] - 「大量刪除」（Nuke）功能現在有了可多選的命名空間篩選。這使得用户在提取要刪除的頁面時，能夠選擇多個特定的命名空間，而不是僅選擇一個或全部。
- 此外，在待刪除頁面進入队列後，大量刪除功能現在會提供以下連結：遭刪除頁面的创建者的用户页，以及其未被選擇刪除的頁面。這使得管理員能更容易進行後續管理操作。感謝Chlod和Moderator Tools團隊所做的這兩項改進。 [47]
- 編輯團隊正在努力讓自動填入引用產生器——Citoid更容易從archive.org填入引用。團隊要求社群在每個使用Citoid的引用模板的TemplateData中預先加入兩個參數
archiveUrl和archiveDate。參見模板變更範例，以及所有相關模板的清單。 [48] - 一個新的維基已创建： 印尼語维基导游 (
voy:id:) [49] - 上週，所有維基網站經歷了持續30至45分鐘的服務中斷，無法順利提供網頁給已登录及部分未登录用户。此事件起因於資料庫異常，調查仍在進行中。 [50]
查看上週解決的共19個社群提交工單。 例如，添加链接功能的錯誤現已修復。之前，在某些情況下，從添加链接功能排除的章節清單會被部分忽略。 [51][52]
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 維基媒體設計系統——Codex現在有一個早期階段的PHP实现。它可透過Composer在MediaWiki扩展與Toolforge應用程式供一般使用，並即將用於MediaWiki核心。更多詳情請參閱文档。感謝Doğu的靈感以及對函式庫的諸多貢獻。 [53]
- Wikimedia REST API用户，如機器人操作者和工具維護者，可能會受到正在進行的升級更新的影響。12月4日，MediaWiki介面團隊著手將測試維基上的頁面及修訂版本的metadata、渲染後的HTML內容等端點，從RESTbase重編路由至相似的MediaWiki REST API端點。團隊鼓勵這些端點的活躍用户在測試維基驗證其工具的行為，並於年底前將任何疑慮提交至相關的Phabricator工單，團隊打算於1月初在所有維基媒體项目實施相同的變更。這是取代過時的RESTBase系統的作業的一部分。
- 邀請維基媒體開發者社群填寫2024年開發者滿意度調查。如果您在維基媒體生態系統的軟體開發中佔有一角，請填寫此問卷調查。調查開放填寫至2025年1月3日，並請參閱相關隱私聲明。
- 本週沒有MediaWiki的新版本。 [54]
會議與活動
- 維基媒體基金會與維基共享資源社群的討論系列的下一次會議將於12月12日的8:00 UTC和16:00 UTC舉行。本次通話會議的主題是新媒體和新貢獻者。歡迎所有維基的貢獻者參加。

[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
The Mars ocean theory states that nearly a third of the surface of Mars was covered by an ocean of liquid water early in the planet's geologic history. This primordial ocean, dubbed Paleo-Ocean or Oceanus Borealis (/oʊˈsiːənəs ˌbɒriˈælɪs/ oh-SEE-ə-nəs BORR-ee-AL-iss), would have filled the basin Vastitas Borealis in the northern hemisphere, a region that lies 4–5 km (2.5–3 miles) below the mean planetary elevation, at a time period of approximately 4.1–3.8 billion years ago. Evidence for this ocean includes geographic features resembling ancient shorelines, and the chemical properties of the Martian soil and atmosphere

Wikimedia Apps newsletter – Fourth quarter of 2024
[编辑]Hello, and welcome to the app's final newsletter of 2024! In this edition, we’ll highlight the key updates and progress made during October and November 2024!
iOS Updates
Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review
In November, we released the first iteration of the Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review to users in Italy and Mexico, covering Italian, Spanish, and English Wikipedia! This experimental feature offers personalized insights based on reading, editing, and donation history for iOS app users for 2024. If this initial version is successful, we hope to improve upon it and make it available to everyone within the iOS app in January 2025. For more information on how your data is used and how to access your Year in Review, please visit the project page, or watch a short video demonstration of the feature.
The alternative text experiment concluded on November 4, and we are currently analyzing the results. The edits are being reviewed by accessibility experts and moderators active on the iOS app for additional feedback.
Preliminary results show that prompting users on an image they’ve just added leads to higher completion rates (18%) compared to unrelated images (6%). The overall revert rate for alt text edits was 3.4%, lower than the app’s average revert rate of 8.1%. We’ll decide next steps for this feature after completing the analysis.
We completed the first phase of our Navigation refresh, and released a new profile menu into the production version of the app. Our work was coordinated in this Epic: T373714
Android Updates
Private Donor Recognition Experiment
We launched an experiment in France and the Netherlands, exploring the impact of private donor recognition on current and prospective donors. Users who donated through the app will see an active badge on the contributions page, while those who haven’t donated will see a prompt to do so. The experiment will run for 20 days, after which we will evaluate the results. This work was coordinated under Epic: T376303.
The team began work on the "Rabbit Holes" experiment to increase retention among new readers. The experiment is designed to help users more easily discover and connect with content they are interested in. It is being coordinated under Epic: T378612.
The Recommended Content in Search experiment showed promising results. Personalized recommendations led to higher retention (86.5%) compared to non-personalized recommendations (64.9%), with positive feedback from users.
We added a launcher shortcut for quicker access to the "Places" feature in the app. (T375367)
Looking Ahead
As we close out 2024, we’re excited about all the progress made and the work ahead in 2025. Keep an eye out for more updates and improvements we hope will enhance your Wikipedia experience!
Thank you for being part of this journey, and don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter for the latest updates!

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-52
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
In August 2023, major floods occurred in large part of Slovenia and neighbouring areas of Austria and Croatia due to heavy rain. Amongst others, the level of rivers Sava, Mur and Drava was exceptionally high. Several settlements and transport links in Slovene Littoral, Upper Carniola and Slovenian Carinthia were flooded. Due to the amount of rain, the streams in Idrija, Cerkno and Škofja Loka Hills overflowed.
(Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)
