• On several wikis, an account named "Filtrilo de misuzo" 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 "Trafik-limigilo" 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]

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.

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 Paĝoj kun nereviziitaj tradukoj 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.

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

• When you create a PDF from a page on the wiki this is now done by Proton. Before this we used Electron. It should look the same but work better. Both use Chromium. This is a different system from when you collect several articles into a book and make a PDF from them. [77][78]
• The Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standard OOUI icons. There will be additional minor fixes for positioning in the next deployment. [79]
• Bots and other scripts that do not set an identifiable User-Agent may find their requests strictly rate-limited until they identify themselves properly. [80]

Problems

• Please check if the Flagged Revisions configuration on your wiki is as you expect (or as it was a few weeks ago). If not, please report it. [81]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Ŝablono pri plej popularaj artikoloj

Bonvesperon. Mi rimarkas ke kelkaj alilingvaj versioj de Vikinovaĵoj utiligas robotojn por montri sur la ĉefpaĝo popularecon de artikoloj, ekzemple ru:Шаблон:Самые популярные новости. Ĉu iu teĥnike sperta povus krei ion similan ĉi tie? Mi pensas ke estus bonaspekta aldonaĵo al la cefpaĝo. Aŭdrea (diskuto) 02:21, 15 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Pri Fejsbuko

Ĉe la Vikinovaĵa Fejsbuka pâgo la plej nova artikolo datas je la 11-an de septembro. Kiu publikigas la artikolojn ĉe Fejsbuko? Ĉu roboto? Kial ĝi ne publikas ĉiujn artikolojn? Daniel (diskuto) 19:16, 16 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Al mi ŝajnas ke estas ne roboto, sed homo, ĉar la tempospacoj inter la afiŝoj estas neregulaj kaj nur elektitaj artikoloj estas respegulataj. Sed mi ne havas ajnan ideon, kiu posedas la konton. Aŭdrea (diskuto) 22:20, 16 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Mi provis publikigi lastajn artikolojn, sed ili ne aperis. Evidente necesas kontakti administranton de tiu pâgo.--RG72 (diskuto) 04:37, 17 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Mi ĵus ricevis statuson de la administranto de tiu paĝo kaj publikigis du plej lastajn novaĵojn. Do la problemo estas solvita. RG72.

:Saluton! Mi kreis la FB-paĝon kiam mi estis administranto ĉi tie. Mi ne publikigis ĉiujn novajn novaĵojn ĉar mi ne havis multe da tempo kaj malmulte reviziis Vikinovaĵojn lastatempe. Mi povas aldoni vin ĉiujn kiel helpantoj de la FB-paĝo, tiel vi povos aldoni enhavon tie. Por tio mi bezonas scii viajn nomojn sur FB (vi povas skribi privatan mesaĝon al la FB-paĝo por tion scii). Ankaŭ estas konto en Twitter, antaŭe ĝi aŭtomate publikigis kion estis afiŝita en FB, sed la API jam ne plu permesas tion, do ankaŭ devas esti mane publikigita la nova informo. Sciante viajn uzantoj de Twitter mi povas aldoni vin kiel helpantoj --Sahaquiel9102 (diskuto) 17:00, 17 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Ĉe Tvitero mi estas @StanislavoBelov. RG72.

Dankon, Sahaquiel, pro la ekspliko kaj la helpo! Mi ne uzas Facebook nek Twitter, do mi lasos tion al miaj kolegoj. Ni ankaŭ pripensu pluajn strategiojn pri tio, kiel pligrandigi nian legantaron. Eble estas aliaj esperantlingvaj paĝaroj sur kiuj ni povus montriĝi, ĉu? Aŭdrea (diskuto) 22:55, 17 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Mi agordis retilon, kiu nomiĝas dlvr.it, por ke ĝi aŭtomate publikigu ĝis 3 novajn artikolojn ĉiutage senkoste. Por pli ol 3 artikoloj, oni devas pagi, sed ŝajnas ke ni ne superos tiun ĉi limon. Daniel (diskuto) 22:34, 17 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Mi ricevis mesaĝon ke ekde nun mi rajtas publikigi novaĵojn en Tvitero je la nomo de Vikinovaĵoj, sed malsukcesis fari tion. Mi ne vidas kiel fari tion, ja mi ĉiam estas sub mia propra nomo. Mi aldonas, ke mi publikigas ĉiujn novaĵojn en la ĉefaj Esperanto-grupoj ĉe Fejsbuko, Reddit kaj en sia Tviter-konto kaj en la sekcio Aktualaĵoj de Vikipedio. Ankaŭ Roberto Poor ofte uzas ilin en siaj novaĵoj ĉe retejo Studio. Eble ankaŭ Muzaiko povus uzi ilin por novaĵoj.--RG72 (diskuto) 03:15, 18 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Mi krome kreis kanalon en Telegramo Vikinov.--RG72 (diskuto) 04:37, 18 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Por Tvitero mi rekomendas ke vi provu uzi la retilon dlvr.it kiu ankaŭ povas publikigi mesaĝojn ĉe Tviter. Interne de dlvr.it vi devas uzi la jenan adreson: https://eo.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewsFeed&feed=atom&categories=Publikigitaj+artikoloj&notcategories=No%20publish%7CArchived%7CAutoArchived%7Cdisputed&namespace=0&count=30&hourcount=124&ordermethod=categoryadd&stablepages=only%22 Daniel (diskuto) 10:43, 18 sep. 2019 (UTC)

@RG72: Por publikigi nome de Vikinovaĵoj en Twitter vi devas aliri tweetdeck.twitter.com. --Sahaquiel9102 (diskuto) 17:25, 18 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Eble tio funkcias per komputilo. Mi eniris per telefono, sed nur vidas mian prooran konton.

• Saluton RG72 kaj Sahaquiel, mi rimarkas ke la Twitter-konto ne freŝdatiĝas jam du semajnojn, ĉu iu povus agordi tion? Ni havas multe da novaĵoj lasttempe kaj mi volus dissendi ĝin al kiel eble plej multe da homoj (la Twitter-konto havas pli ol 600 aliĝintojn). Aŭdrea (diskuto) 14:45, 28 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Saluton karaj! Mi provis eniri la konton, sed malsukcesis. Mi preskaŭ ne uzas Tviteron, do evidente mankas spertoj necesaj. Ĉu iu alia povus iĝi kunadministranto de la konto? --RG72 (diskuto) 15:10, 28 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Malnova novaĵo sur la ĉefpaĝo

Post kiam Stanislavo redaktis malnovan paģon de 2012 por aldoni novan kategorion, tiu malnova novaĝo aperis kaj plu aperas sur la unua paĝo sub la rubriko "Freŝaj novaĵoj". Kiel oni povas forigi ĝin, kaj kion fari por ke la malnovaj novaĵoj ne reaperu ĉiufoje kiam ili estos redaktitaj? Daniel (diskuto) 13:58, 21 sep. 2019 (UTC)

La kaŭzo estas ĉi tiu linio en la ŝablonkodo: «ordermethod = categoryadd» (en Ŝablono:Plej freŝaj novaĵoj). Ĝi vicigas artikolojn laŭ la dato de la plej lasta aldonita kategorio. Do, kiam oni entajpas novajn kategoriojn en paĝo, senkonsidere ties malnovecon (kiel ĉi tie), la ŝablono pensas ke la artikolo estas freŝa.

Por ĉirkaŭiri la problemon, mi ŝanĝis la kodon por ke artikoloj inkluditaj en Kategorio:Ŝlositaj artikoloj neniam aperu. Mi esperas ke tio, minimume, malplioftigos la aperadon de malnovaĵoj. Amike, Aŭdrea (diskuto) 15:30, 21 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Tre bone, dankon Aŭdrea. Daniel (diskuto) 16:49, 21 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Dankegon! Ankaŭ mi rimarkis tion, sed ne sciis kiel solvi, ĉar humanitario 100%))) --RG72 (diskuto) 06:11, 22 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Ŝanĝoj en la ĉefpaĝo

Saluton karaj, mi volis sciigi ke mi ĵus aŭdacis fari kelkajn ŝanĝojn en la Ĉefpaĝo por ke la artikoloj estu pli supre kaj rekte videblaj, kaj por malpliigi la grandajn spacojn inter la teksto-kestoj.

Cetere, mi faris diversajn lingvajn kaj stilajn plibonigojn en la ŝablonoj aperantaj sur la ĉefpaĝo kaj klopodis forigi ripetemajn ligilojn kaj enhavon.

Se al vi forte malplaĉas ĉi tiuj ŝanĝoj, mi invitas vin parte aŭ tute malfari ilin. Sed tiuokaze mi volus ke ni kune pripensu aliajn plibonigetojn al la ĉefpaĝo (kaj pli ĝenerale al la infrastrukturo), ĉar mia sperto kun viki-kodo estas nur modesta. Elkore, Aŭdrea (diskuto) 18:40, 22 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Viaj ŝanĝoj estas bonvenaj. Mi ankaŭ remarkis ke la poŝtelefona ĉefpaĝo (http://eo.m.wikinews.org) estas tro larĝa, etendiĝante sur du kolumnoj, do ĝi ne taŭgas por malgrandaj ekranoj. Pli bone estus se la poŝtelefona ĉefaĝo havus nur unu kolonon kiel ekzemple la anglalingva retejo https://en.m.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page. Daniel (diskuto) 20:52, 22 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Mi kore dankas kaj samopinias. Malfacilas nun legi Vikinovaĵojn per telefono, kion certe faras multaj uzantoj.--RG72 (diskuto) 02:07, 23 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Ĥo, ĉu la ĉefpaĝo antaŭe estis facile legebla, sed ne plu? Aŭ ĉu mi ne komprenis ion? Mi klopodis ne ŝanĝi la fundamentan aranĝon. Se tiel, do mi pardonpetas. Mi ne scias kiel redakti la poŝtelefonan version aparte. Aŭdrea (diskuto) 02:14, 23 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Ne, mi nur diras, ke estus bone redezajni gxin tiel gxi enspacigxu en la telefona ekrano. Vi certe fusxis nenion.--RG72 (diskuto) 08:17, 23 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Karaj, mi laŭŝajne trovis la solvon por la poŝtelefona ĉefpaĝo ĉi tie. Tamen la necesajn ŝanĝojn povas fari nur sisopo. Aŭdrea (diskuto) 02:40, 29 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Akcia indikilo

En la ĉefpago estas rubriko pri akciamerkatoj kies ciferoj estas tro malnovaj por utili al kiu ajn (afiŝas la ciferojn de la 22-a de septembro, sed hodiaŭ ni havas la 25-an). Daniel (diskuto) 21:31, 25 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Ufff mi ne scias kiel korekti tion, evidente necesas teknikaj konoj.--RG72 (diskuto) 05:02, 26 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Gaĥ! Mi (esperinde nur tempe) forigis la ŝablonon, ĉar aspektas neserioze havi tiaĵon sur la ĉefpaĝo, kaj mi provis reekvilibrigi la du kolumnojn. La problemo estas la roboto Uzanto:BOT-Superzerocool, kiu ne plu funkcias. Aŭdrea (diskuto) 18:51, 27 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Mi lasis mesaĝon por la robotestro kaj esperas, ke estos solvo post nelonge. Aŭdrea (diskuto) 15:22, 28 sep. 2019 (UTC)

{{Citaĵo}}

En la rusa versio tia ŝablono enhavas ankaŭ segmenton, destinitan por originala teksto. Ĝi estas kaŝita, sed sufiĉas klaki por vidi ĝin. Estus bone aldoni tiun eblecon al la nia ŝablono por ke ĉiu leganto povu kompari tradukon kun fontoteksto.--RG72 (diskuto) 05:02, 26 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Bonan mateonon. Mi ne povis aldoni tion al la jama ŝablono, ĉar mi timis ke tio povus kaŭzi tro da formataj fuŝaĵoj. Tamen mi kreis novan ŝablonon Ŝablono:Citaĵo3, kiu funkcias samkiel ru:Шаблон:oq, kaj ni povas estontece uzi ĝin ene de {{Citaĵo}}, do provizante similan funkcionadon. Mi esperas ke tio sufiĉos! Aŭdrea (diskuto) 15:12, 28 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Saluton kaj dankegon! Ĉu eblus ankaŭ aldoni almenaŭ bazajn ilojn al la redaktofenestro? Ekzemple kreado de kategorioj nun estas iom peniga kaj aldono de longaj strekoj ŝajne tute ne eblas. Vikipedia redaktofenestro povus servi kiel modelo, ĉu be? Ankaŭ mi rimarkis, ke se mi ne havas Esperanto-klavaron, ĉapelitaj literoj ne aperas - malsame ol en Vikipedio. Foje mi redaktas per alia komputilo, do aperas x-aĵoj.RG72 (diskuto)

Ĉu temas pri aldonaĵoj, kiujn oni povas elekti en Specialaĵo:Preferoj? Ĉar por mi, la redaktfenestro aspektas tre simile inter kaj Vikipedio kaj Vikinovaĵoj. Tamen ĉe Vikipedio funkcias multe pli da aldonaĵoj ol ĉi tie. Sed por ebligi ilin ĉi tie, bezonatas statuso de administranto, kaj ĉi-momente ni havas neniun. (Eble vi petu de la stevardoj la statuson laŭ via kandidatiĝo?) Aŭdrea (diskuto) 17:13, 28 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Ĉu? Mi esploris ĉion, sed ne trovis kie ekzemple troviĝas butono por krei kategoriojn aŭ figurajn krampojn ktp. Ufff...--RG72 (diskuto) 04:38, 29 sep. 2019 (UTC)

Evidente mi forgesis kiel uzi Ŝablono:Citaĵo3 kaj klarigoj kun ekzemploj mankas((( --RG72 (diskuto) 06:28, 19 jun. 2020 (UTC)

Pasintece ĉimonate...

Sur la ĉefpaĝo, en la rubriko Pasintece ĉimonate... estas nenio! Daniel (diskuto) 20:15, 2 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Ĉi tiu skemo ne bone funkcias ĉar en pasintaj monatoj/jaroj ni apenaŭ havis ajnan enhavon kaj do la ŝablono, eĉ se kreita, malplenus. Do, ĉu eble ni elpensu ion alian anstataŭe? Dume mi kaŝis la ŝablonon, sed nun la ĉefpaĝo ekaspektas magre ... Aŭdrea (diskuto) 02:25, 3 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Laŭ mi la ĉefpaĝo aspektas tute bela. Dankon Daniel (diskuto) 23:43, 4 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Poŝtelefona ĉefpaĝo

Darseno demandis min, ĉu mi scias beligi la poŝtelefonan ĉefpaĝon. Nune ĝi havas du kolumnojn, kaj ne estas bela, kiam oni vizitas la poŝtelefonan eldonon de la retejo. Ĉe la retejo de MediaWiki estas la paĝo mw:Mobile Gateway/Mobile homepage formatting, kiu priskribas la procedon por por ŝanĝi la poŝtelefonan aranĝon. Mi ne havas la scion pri CSS. Oni bezonas administrantan privilegion por redakti tiujn ĉi paĝojn. Mikemoral (diskuto) 08:53, 5 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Koran Dankon, Mikemoral. Ĉu vi scias kiu estas la administranto ĉi tie, Sahaquiel9102? Daniel (diskuto) 10:27, 5 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Nune ne estas administranto. Oni devas voĉdoni ĉi tie por nova kandidato kaj rekte peti ĉe Meta la administrantigo. --Sahaquiel9102 (diskuto) 01:36, 7 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Mi proponas Stanon kaj Aŭdrean, ĉar ili estas plej aktivaj ĉi tie. Daniel (diskuto) 10:55, 11 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Mi jam estas administranto en Vikipedio, do havas certan sperton kaj se necese pretas apliki tion en Vikinovaĵoj. Sed mi devas averti, ke teknike mi estas simio sencerba, do CSS ks estas por mi la mondo de mirakloj ;)) --RG72 (diskuto) 12:04, 11 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Mi plene subtenas la administrantiĝon de Uzanto:RG72, kiel mi jam esprimis sur la paĝo de kandidantoj. Se bezonatas pli da administrantoj, mi volontus ankaŭ, tamen mi notu ke mia teĥnika sperto estas sufiĉe meznivela. Aŭdrea (diskuto) 21:40, 11 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Intervikioj

Karaj, ne forgesu aldoni intervikiojn al la kreataj artikoloj kaj kategorioj. Mi aldonis intervikiojn al ĉiuj kategorioj pri la tagoj, sed pli bone estus fari tion tuj post la kreado.--RG72 (diskuto) 06:04, 6 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Ĉu temas pri ligiloj al Vikipedio? Daniel (diskuto) 01:46, 11 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Problems

• There is a problem in the visual editor when you copy or delete text with footnotes. It will be fixed soon. [125]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 October. It will be on all wikis from 10 October (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 9 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Community Wishlist Survey has a new format. It will focus on wikis that typically get less support. It will probably go back to the normal format next year. It is not decided exactly how it will work this year. You can leave feedback.
• The URL of the Wikimedia wiki main pages could be changed. This is because the current URLs cause several problems. For example https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page would be https://www.wikidata.org/ instead. You can tell the developers if this would cause problems for your wiki.
• There is a new technical community newsletter. You can read more about the work of Wikimedia's technical community. Subscribe to get the information in the future.

Stano,Aŭdrea kaj Mikemoral mi provos malŝalti tiun ĉi roboton kiu refoje poluas nian diskutejon. Ĉu vi konsentas? Daniel (diskuto) 10:26, 8 okt. 2019 (UTC)\

Mi ĝenerale ne kontraŭas tion, sed ĉu ni ne perdus iujn gravajn mesaĝojn tiel? Ĉu eblus krei apartan sekcion kie ili amasiĝu? Mi pensas ke tiaj robotoj funkcias en ĉiuj viki-projektoj. RG72 (diskuto) 10:33, 8 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Oni povas facile sciiĝi pri tiuj ĉi aferoj se oni aldonas onian nomon al iu listo. Ne estas bezono ke ĉiuj en la diskutejo legu tiun ĉi balaston. Daniel (diskuto) 10:40, 8 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Cetere la roboto ne funkcias en la viki-projektoj kiuj volonte sin malabonis al ĝi (t.e. la plejparto, mi pensas!) Daniel (diskuto) 10:49, 8 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Min ĉi tio ne ĝenas. Se estas necese, ni povas peti ke oni direktu la mesaĝojn en alian paĝon, ekz. Vikinovaĵoj:Diskutejo/Teĥnikaĵoj aŭ simile. Aŭdrea (diskuto) 00:34, 9 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Mi ne opinias, ke la mesaĝoj estas tre utilaj, sed mi samopinias kun la propono de Aŭdrea por direkti la mesaĝojn en alian paĝon. Mikemoral (diskuto) 08:37, 10 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Do bone, kiu scipovas tion fari, faru. Daniel (diskuto) 01:44, 11 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for the English, but just to point out: not only is Tech News not sent out to those who unsubscribe, we (the writers) have never added pages ourselves from the beginning; that's done by the community or someone in the community who decides they want to subscribe. Someone back in 2016 (I haven't gone through the diffs to check who) decided they wanted it here.

You're of course free to have it or not have it. It's there if you want it, not to force it upon you. /Johan (WMF) (diskuto) 23:30, 14 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Problemo ĉe semajnaj aktualaĵoj

En la paĝo https://eo.wikinews.org/wiki/Semajnaj_aktualaĵoj - versioj epub kaj html tute ne funkcias. Epub havas nenorman strukturon, kaj html fakte nomiĝas "htmlz" - kiu estas nekonata por la retumiloj. Szilvasi (disk. · kontr.)

Ĉe mia komputilo ne estas problemoj ĉe EPUB; dume la PDF-versio normalas sed havas grandajn spacojn inter la artikoloj, kiuj ideale estu forredaktitaj. Mi konsentas ke la HTML-ligilo estas fuŝa sed mi ne povas korekti ĉi-momente. Aŭdrea (diskuto) 00:39, 9 okt. 2019 (UTC)

La html-dosiero estas zip-pakaĝita, ĉar enestas multaj dosieroj kiuj devis kuniĝi en unu dosieron. Se ne eblas malfermi ĝin, provu ŝanĝi la dosiernomon al .zip. Pri la spacoj en la PDF-versio, estus malfacile plibonigi ĝin sen granda tempo-elspezo, ĉar la dosiero aŭtomate produktiĝas per komputiloprogramo. Kompreneble la tuto ne estas perfekta, pli bone estus se iu homo havus tempon por fari tion permane. Daniel (diskuto) 15:54, 9 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Nuntempe mi provas variajn aranĝojn uzante la tekstan sistemon LaTeX. Mi faris specimenan eldonon. Ligilo al la dokumento (angle). Se estos intereso, mi povas fari la semajnajn aktualaĵojn (kaj kiam mi ne povus, mi nuntempe faras ŝablonon). Mikemoral (diskuto) 11:22, 10 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Tio estas bonega! Ĉu necesas al vi multe da tempo por fari tion? Daniel (diskuto) 01:42, 11 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Mi faris version de la Semajnaj Aktualaĵoj. Mia ĉefproblemo estas, ke mi ne havas emblemon por la Semajnaj Aktualaĵoj. Nuntempe mia malneto uzas la emblemon de la angla retejo. Ligilo al la dokumento (GitHub). Mikemoral (diskuto) 11:18, 11 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Kiam vi taksos ĝin sufiĉe preta, bv aldoni ĝin al la paĝo pri la semajnaj aktualaĵoj. Daniel (diskuto) 12:01, 12 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Mi provas krei la emblemon, sed mi kontinuos plibonigi la dizajnon de la PDF. Majkmoral (diskuto) 03:43, 15 okt. 2019 (UTC)

w:Vikipedio:EnhavTradukilo

Ĉu la EnhavTradukilo estos utila por Vikinovaĵoj? La ilo helpas uzantojn je la tradukado de artikoloj. Tamen, mi ne scias, ĉu ĝi estas sole uzebla por la Vikipediaj projektoj aŭ oni povas uzi la ilon ĉe aliaj projektoj. Mikemoral (diskuto) 08:33, 10 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Kio estas EnhavTradukilo? Daniel (diskuto) 01:39, 11 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Kun la ilo oni povas pli facile traduki artikolojn. La ilo poviĝas onin por traduki artikolojn kun la du artikoloj ­- la originala artikolo kaj la tradukaĵo - flankalflanke en onia retumilo. Ŝajnas tamen, ke la ilo estas sole por uzado je Vikipediaj projektoj. Mikemoral (diskuto) 11:24, 11 okt. 2019 (UTC)

EnhavTradukilo estas celata ankaŭ por ne-Vikipediaj projektoj, sed nuntempe ne vere funkcias tiel. Kaze de volo, vi povas peti funkciigon en Vikinovaĵoj (mi povas helpi, mi petis tiajn aferojn plurfoje).

Alia demando estas kiom utila ĝi estus - kiom multe oni volas traduki. Se vi, Mikemoral, aŭ aliaj ja volas - tiam sencas. --KuboF Hromoslav (diskuto) 16:43, 22 mar. 2020 (UTC)

Ĉu EnhavTradukilo estus utiligebla por traduki unuopajn alineojn el vikipediaj paĝoj SEN importi la titolon de iu vikipedia artikolo? Mi trovas EnhavTraukilon nepre utila ĉar ĝi aŭtomate kreas la bonajn ligilojn al koncerna artikolo en Esperanto, kiun oni eble ne trovus ĉar oni alimaniere tradukis koncepton.--212.239.147.75 15:48, 21 nov. 2020 (UTC)

{{Temkategorio}}

Mi tradukis tiun ĉi ŝablonon el la angla, kaj mi redaktis Kategorio:Ĉikago kiel ekzemplo de la uzado de tiu ĉi ŝablono. Kun la ŝablono oni povus aranĝi la kategorioj kiel la portaloj. La angla Vikinovaĵoj uzas la ŝablonon je ĉiuj kategorioj, kaj estas alidirektiloj al la kategorioj. Ekz.: la ligilo Ĉikago alidirektis al Kategorio:Ĉikago. Mi ne scias se tiu ŝablono estus dezirinda por Vikinovaĵoj. Majkmoral (diskuto) 05:21, 15 okt. 2019 (UTC)

Dankegon! --RG72 (diskuto) 13:04, 15 okt. 2019 (UTC)
