JavaScript

Hi. I can see that this project has old JavaScript that needs to be updated. I would happily make the required updates myself, but I would have to – at least temporarily – become an admin here to do that (because the relevant pages are in the MediaWiki namespace). I have already made these updates on a number of other projects, so it would be very easy for me to do this. If no one does anything, some JavaScript-related tools will break later this year. If you want me to do this, you can grant me admin rights and I will make the updates as soon as I see the rights changes. Nirmos (descusión) 01:51 2 chun 2016 (UTC)

A favor - Soi a favor de dar-le os permisos temporalment ta que pueda apanyar os JS d'a Biquipedia. Pero amenestemos que un burócrata le los atorge (Juanpabl / Willtron). --MarcoAurelio (descusión) 14:04 16 ago 2016 (UTC)

Wiki Loves the Olympics

Hola. El pasado día 5 de agosto comenzó Wiki Loves the Olympics, un nuevo concurso de edición organizado por los grupos que forman Iberocoop tras la propuesta de Vanbasten_23. El concurso se ha coordinado en meta para hacerlo multilingüe y trata de mejorar y ampliar la información sobre los Juegos Olímpicos y Paralímpicos (todos, no solo los de Río de Janeiro). Durará hasta el 18 de septiembre. Además de los tres premios principales, hay varios premios especiales (más puntos sobre Juegos Paralímpicos, más puntos sobre mujeres y más puntos sobre deporte de España) y los artículos pueden al mismo tiempo servir para otras iniciativas que han hecho otros grupos. Os invitamos a participar y poner vuestro granito de arena. La página del concurso es meta:Wiki Loves the Olympics. Gracias y suerte!. --Rubén Ojeda (WMES) (descusión) 17:18 9 ago 2016 (UTC)

Save/Publish

The Editing team is planning to change the name of the “Alzar pachina” button to “Publicar a pachina” and “Publicar os cambeos”. “Publicar a pachina” will be used when you create a new page. “Publicar os cambeos” will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[1][2]

This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.

If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for “Publicar a pachina” and “Publicar os cambeos”.

The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that “Alzar pachina” would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the “Alzar pachina” button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem.

Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise.

Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes {{int:Publishpage}} and {{int:Publishchanges}} to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in your account preferences, these wikitext codes produce “Publicar a pachina” and “Publicar os cambeos”.

Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.
