உள்ளடக்க மொழிபெயர்ப்பில் மேற்கோள் சிக்கல்

தற்போது உள்ள மேம்படுத்தப்பட்ட உள்ளடக்க கொழிபெயர்ப்பு பக்கத்தில் கட்டுரைகளை மொழிபெயர்த்து வெளியிடும்போது தமிழில் கட்டுரை வெளியாகும்போது மேற்கோள்களானது வழுவுடன் தோன்றுகிறது. இதனால் அவற்றை அழித்துவிட்டு ஆங்கிலக் கட்டுரையில் உள்ள மேற்கோள்களை புதியதாக வெட்டி ஒட்டவேண்டியுள்ளது. இதுபோன்ற சிக்கல் யாருக்கவது உள்ளதா. இதை சரிசெய்ய இயலுமா.--அருளரசன் (பேச்சு) 05:59, 6 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

பொதுவாக மேற்கோள்கள் ஒருமுறை சுட்டிக்காட்டிவிட்டு அதன் பெயரையே பின்னர் மேற்கோளாகப் பயன்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. அவ்வகையில் நீங்கள் காட்டிய இடங்களில் name="diamonddivas" name="timesindia" என்பது பெயர்கள், அதற்குமுன் அந்த மேற்கோள் அப்பக்கத்தில் சுட்டிக்காட்டினால் தான் செயல்படும். கூடுமானவரை மொழிபெயர்க்கையில் அனைத்து மேற்கோள்களையும் அப்படியே வைத்திருந்தால் இச்சிக்கலைத் தவிர்க்கலாம் என நினைக்கிறேன் -நீச்சல்காரன் (பேச்சு) 09:30, 6 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

\\\கூடுமானவரை மொழிபெயர்க்கையில் அனைத்து மேற்கோள்களையும் அப்படியே வைத்திருந்தால் இச்சிக்கலைத் தவிர்க்கலாம் என நினைக்கிறேன்\\\ நீச்சல்காரன் இந்தக் கட்டுரையில் அனைத்து மேற்கோள்களையும் அப்படியேதான் வைத்துள்ளேன். இதன் பக்க வரலாற்றைக் கண்டாலே தெரியும்.--அருளரசன் (பேச்சு) 09:46, 7 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

@Arularasan. G: முதல் வரிசையில் உள்ள ref name="timesindia" என்ற மேற்கோள் கட்டுரையின் பிறிதொரு பகுதியிலேயே முழுமையாகத் தரப்பட்டுள்ளது. இதனாலேயே இப்பிரச்சினை வருகிறது என நினைக்கிறேன். முதலாவதலேயே முழுமையாகத் தந்திருந்தால் சரியாக வரலாம்.--Kanags (பேச்சு) 10:13, 7 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

வார்ப்புரு பயன்பாட்டு எண்ணிக்கை

ஒரு வார்ப்புரு எத்தனை கட்டுரைகளில் பயன்படுத்தப்பட்டுள்ளது என்பதை அறியவும், அக்கட்டுரைகளின் பெயர்களை பெறவும் கருவியுண்டா? --த♥உழவன் ^(உரை) 14:20, 11 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

அந்த வார்ப்புரு பக்கம் சென்று இப்பக்கத்தை இணைத்தவை என்று பக்கத்தின் இடது பக்கம் ஒரு இணைப்பு இருக்கும் அதன் மூலம் அறியலாம். அவ்வாறு இல்லாமல் பொதுவாகக் கண்டுபிடிக்க இந்த மாதிரியைப் பயன்படுத்தலாம். https://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/சிறப்பு:WhatLinksHere/<வார்ப்புருவின் பெயர்> இந்த முறையில் பெறலாம். -நீச்சல்காரன் (பேச்சு) 14:25, 11 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

நன்றி. ஆனால், குறிப்பிட்ட ஒரு வார்ப்புரு, பயன்படுத்தப்பட்டுள்ள அனைத்துக் கட்டுரைகளின் பெயர்களை எடுக்க என்ன செய்ய வேண்டும்?--த♥உழவன் ^(உரை) 14:46, 11 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

petscan வழியே எடுக்கலாமென்று @Balajijagadesh: எங்களிடையே நடந்த டெலிகிராம் உரையாடலில் வழிகாட்டினார். நன்றி.--த♥உழவன் ^(உரை) 03:52, 26 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

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 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)

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 மதிப்பாய்வு செய்யப்படாத மொழிபெயர்ப்புகளைக் கொண்ட பக்கங்கள் 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

தானியங்கி மூலம் பகுப்புகள் இணைத்தல்/நீக்குதல்

AswnBot மூலம் பகுப்புகள் இணைத்தல் படிப்படியாக நடக்குமாறு செய்துள்ளேன். நேற்று தானியங்கியினை இயக்கியதில் சில பிழைகள் அடிபட்டன

• சில கட்டுரைகள் தவறான ஆங்கிலக் கட்டுரையுடன் இணைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன
• வழிமாற்று விக்கிதரவில் இணைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது - கட்டுரையில் இல்லை
• பிறப்பு/இறப்பு ஆண்டுகள் தவறாக உள்ளன
• மறைந்த நபர்கள் கட்டுரைகளில் வாழும் நபர்கள் பகுப்பு இணைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது (கட்டுரை புதுப்பிக்கப்படவில்லை)

நான்காம் பிழையினைத் தானியங்கி மூலமாகச் செய்ய இயலும். பிற பிழைகள் இயன்றவரை நான் திருத்த முயல்கிறேன். விக்கிப்பீடியர்கள் இப்பிழைகளைக் கண்டால் அவற்றைத் திருத்துமாறு வேண்டிக்கொள்கிறேன். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 08:17, 18 ஏப்ரல் 2019 (UTC)

இத்தகைய தொகுப்புகளைத் தானியங்கி மூலம் எதற்காக செய்ய வேண்டும்? நீங்கள் ஆங்கிலக் கட்டுரைகளை மூலமாகக் கொள்கிறீர்கள். அக்கட்டுரையின் தரவுகள் சரியானவையா எனப் பார்த்தீர்களா? (பார்க்க: [49]). பிழையானவற்றை நீங்களே சரி செய்யுங்கள். உங்களின் ஆயிரக்கணக்கான தானியங்கித் தொகுப்புகளை சரி பார்க்க எவருக்கும் நேரமில்லை.Kanags (பேச்சு) 08:22, 18 ஏப்ரல் 2019 (UTC)

கட்டுரைகள் சரியாக பகுப்பாக்கப்பட்டிருந்தால் படிப்போர்கும் திருத்துவோர்க்கும் பயன்படும். நான் copy paste செய்து தானியங்கியினை இயக்கவில்லை. ஆங்கில விக்கியிற்கும் த.விக்கியிற்கும் பொருந்தும் பகுப்பு hierarchy மட்டுமே சரிபார்க்கப்பட்டு, அதிலும் மொழி பகுப்புகள் பொருத்தப்பட்டு, பராமரிப்பு பகுப்புகள் விலக்கப்பட்டு இயங்கும் வண்ணம் எழுதப்பட்டுள்ளது. ஸ்கிரிப்டில் பிழைகள் நிகழா வண்ணமே தக்க முன்னெச்சரிக்கைகளுடன் இயக்கப்படுகின்றது. இன்னும் அதிக மேற்பார்வையில் பொறுமையாக இயக்க முயல்கிறேன். இயலவில்லை ஏன்றால் விட்டுவிடுகின்றேன். தானியங்கி இயக்கப்படுவது தமிழ் விக்கியிற்காகவே. நன்றி --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 08:59, 18 ஏப்ரல் 2019 (UTC)

புதிய தரவுத்தள அறிக்கை: கவனிப்பு தேவைப்படும் இறந்தவர்களின் கட்டுரைகள்

இந்த அறிக்கையில் பட்டியலிடப்பட்ட கட்டுரைகள் விரைவில் திருத்தப்பட வேண்டும். அவர்களின் இறப்பு விவரங்களை இட்டப் பிறகு பகுப்பு:வாழும் நபர்கள்-ஐ நீக்குதல் அவசியம். இந்த அறிக்கை வாரம் ஒருமுறை புதுப்பிக்கப்படும். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 13:59, 18 ஏப்ரல் 2019 (UTC)

@Aswn: உங்களின் இப்பட்டியலைக் கண்டேன். மிக நல்ல தொகுப்பு ஆனால் சில கட்டுரைகளை ஆய்வு செய்ததில் சில ஐயம். [50] உங்கள் தானியங்கிதான் வாழும் நபர்கள் என்ற பகுப்பைச் சேர்க்கிறது. அது போல அக்கட்டுரையாளரின் மறைவிற்குப் பின்னர் இறப்புகள் என்றும் இடுகிறது. இரண்டையும் கொண்டு தானியங்கி வழியாகவே திருத்த இயலுமே. இந்தப் பட்டியலின் நோக்கம் வேறு ஏதேனும் உள்ளதா? பொதுவாக உங்கள் தானியங்கி என்ன என்ன செய்கிறது என்பதை அதன் பயனர் பக்கத்தில் சிறு குறிப்புகளுடன் இடக்கோருகிறேன். இதன் மூலம் இத்தகைய பக்கங்களின் தேவையை மற்றவர்கள் உணரவோ மேம்படுத்தவோ உதவும். -நீச்சல்காரன் (பேச்சு) 08:04, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)

தானியங்கியின் செயல்களை பயனர் பக்கத்தில் குறிப்பிடுகின்றேன். வாழும் நபர்கள் பகுப்பை நீக்குமாறு தானியங்கியை இயக்கினால் பயனில்லை. ஏனெனில் கட்டுரையில் இறப்பின் விவரம் தானியங்கியால் இடப்படாது. இப்பட்டியலினைக் கொண்டு பயனர்கள் திருத்தங்களை மேற்கொள்வதே சரி என்று கருதுகின்றேன். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 12:18, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)

@Aswn: சையது ஐதர் ராசா வாழும் நபர்கள் என்றும் 2016 இறப்புகள் என்றும் உள்ளது. இவர் செத்துப்போனாரா இல்ல உயிரோடு இருக்கிறாரா? --க.மாதவன் (பேச்சு) 09:19, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)

நபரின் இறப்பு விவரம் கட்டுரையில் இருப்பின் வாழும் நபர் பகுப்பினை நீக்கிடலாம். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 12:18, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)

அப்படியெனில் இறப்பு குறித்த தகவல்களை பயனரொருவர் உள்ளிட ஏதுவாக இரு பகுப்புகளும் உள்ளனவா? ஒரே நேரத்தில் இரு பகுப்புகளும் ஒரு கட்டுரையில் இருப்பது முரணாக அமையும் என நினைக்கிறேன். ..இறப்புகள் பகுப்பை இடும்போதே அந்தக் கட்டுரையில் வாழும் நபர்கள் என்ற பகுப்பு இருந்தால் அதை நீக்கி விட்டுச் சேர்க்க, உங்கள் தானியங்கியால் இயலுமா? ஆனால் அவ்வாறு நீக்க இயலாவிட்டால் இறப்புகள் பகுப்பை இடாமல் மேலே குறிப்பிட்ட தரவுத்தள அறிக்கைகளில் பட்டியலிட்டு துப்புரவு செய்யச் சுட்டிக்காட்டலாம். காரணம் பயனர் க. மாதவன் குறிப்பிட்டது போல படிப்பவரைக் குழப்பும் எனக் கருதுகிறேன். நன்றி-நீச்சல்காரன் (பேச்சு) 12:46, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)

இப்பணியிற்கு தானியங்கியை இயக்குவதை நிறுத்திவிட்டேன். பிற்காலத்தில் இவ்வண்ணம் செய்ய கவனத்தில் கொள்கிறேன். --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 17:04, 28 மே 2019 (UTC)

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

Hello. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on smaller wikis. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):

1. Krishnaprasaths (administrator)

These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, Rschen7754 02:38, 19 சூன் 2019 (UTC)

Wikidata Bridge: edit Wikidata’s data from Wikipedia infoboxes

Sorry for writing this message in English - feel free to help us translating it :)

Hello all,

Many language versions of Wikipedia use the content of Wikidata, the centralized knowledge base, to fill out the content of infoboxes. The data is stored in Wikidata and displayed, partially or completely, in the Wikipedia’s language, on the articles. This feature is used by many template editors, but brought several issues that were raised by communities in various places: not being able to edit the data directly from Wikipedia was one of them.

This is the reason why the Wikidata Bridge project started, with the goal of offering a way to Wikipedia editors to edit Wikidata’s data more easily. This will be achieved by an interface, connected to the infobox, that users can access directly from their local wiki.

The project is now at an early stage of development. A lot of user research has been done, and will continue to be done through the different phases of the project. The next steps of development will be achieved by the development team working at Wikimedia Deutschland, starting now until the end of 2019.

In order to make sure that we’re building a tool that is answering editors’ needs, we’re using agile methods in our development process. We don’t start with a fixed idea of the tool we want to deliver: we will build it together with the editors, based on feedback loops that we will regularly organize. The first version will not necessarily have all of the features you want, but it will keep evolving.

Here’s the planned timeline:

• From June to August, we will build the setup and technical groundwork.
• From September to November 2019, we will develop the first version of the feature and publish a test system so you can try it and give feedback.
• Later on, we will test the feature on a few projects, in collaboration with the communities.
  • We will first focus on early adopters communities who already implemented a shortcut from their infoboxes to edit Wikidata (for example Russian, Catalan, Basque Wikipedias)
  • but we also welcome also communities who volunteer to be part of the first test round.
  • Then we will reach some of the big Wikipedias (French, German, English) in order to see if the project scales and to address their potentially different needs.
  • Even later, we can consider enabling the feature on all the other projects.

In any case, no deployment or big change will be enforced on the projects without talking to the communities first, and helping the template builders to prepare for the changes they will have to do on the infoboxes’ code.

If you want to get involved, there are several ways to help:

• Read and help translating the documentation pages
• Follow the updates and participate in the first feedback loop
• Talk about it with your local community

More ideas will be added on this page along the way

If you have any questions for the development team, feel free to ask them on the main talk page. You can also ask under this message, but if you expect an answer from me, please make sure to ping me.

Thanks for your attention, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) 13:03, 24 சூன் 2019 (UTC)

Module:Date லுவா உதவி தேவை

இந்த Module இல் இப்பகுதி மட்டும் தமிழாக்கம் செய்ய இயலவில்லை. தமிழ் சொற்களை unexpected symbols என்று கூறுகின்றது. இதனைச் சீர் செய்ய உதவை தேவை. @Neechalkaran: @Info-farmer: பார்க்க:

நான் முன்னரே சோதித்துத்தான் பரிந்துரைத்தேன். தற்போது day_number செயலாற்றியை மட்டும் முழுதும் மாற்றியுள்ளேன். வேலை செய்கிறது. நீங்கள் எதிர்பார்த்த விளைவு ஏற்படுகிறதென்றால் அதைப் போல மற்றவொன்றையும் அமைத்துக் கொள்ளலாம்.

@Aswn and Neechalkaran: ஏராளமான கட்டுரைகளில் புதிதாக வழுக்கள் தோன்றியுள்ளன. கவனியுங்கள்.--Kanags ^{\உரையாடுக} 03:05, 8 சூலை 2019 (UTC)

பிழைகளுக்குக் காரணம் Module:Date இல் நிகழ்ந்த திருத்தங்கள் அல்ல. Module:Citation காரணமாக இருக்கலாம் அல்லது உலகளாவிய வழுவாக இருக்கலாம். இருந்தாலும் எனது தமிழாக்கத்திருத்தை மீளமைத்துள்ளேன். பகுப்பையும் மறைத்துள்ளேன். வேறு ஏதாவது செய்ய இயலுமா எனப் பார்க்கிறேன் -நீச்சல்காரன் (பேச்சு) 09:02, 8 சூலை 2019 (UTC)

cite news வார்ப்புருவில் மட்டும் தான் (accessdate, date) இவ்வழு ஏற்படுகிறது. cite web போன்றவற்றில் இவ்வழு இல்லை.--Kanags ^{\உரையாடுக} 12:03, 8 சூலை 2019 (UTC)

@Aswn, Neechalkaran, and Balajijagadesh: cite news வார்ப்புருவில் இந்தத் தொகுப்பினால் தான் இவ்வழு ஏற்பட்டுள்ளதாக நினைக்கிறேன். இத்தொகுப்பை மீள்வித்ததை அடுத்து வழு நீங்கி விட்டது.--Kanags ^{\உரையாடுக} 23:35, 13 சூலை 2019 (UTC)

வழு சரி செய்யப்பட்டுவிட்டது. பிரச்சனை Module:Citation/CS1 திகதிகளை ஏற்றுக்கொள்வதில் தான். திகதிகள் 1 சனவரி 2001/1 சன 2001/1 January 2001/1 Jan 2001 என்று இருக்கவேண்டும். 1/01/2001 /01 சனவரி 2001/1-01-2001 என்று இருந்தால் பிழையாகக் குறியிடுகின்றது. Module களைப் பயன்படுத்தி பிழைகளை சரிசெய்தல் த.வி. வளர்ச்சிக்கு உதவும் என்று கருதுகின்றேன். நன்றி --அஸ்வின் (பேச்சு) 14:21, 14 சூலை 2019 (UTC)

Editing News #1—July 2019

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Did you know?

Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device?

Every article has a pencil icon at the top. Tap on the pencil icon to start editing.

Edit Cards

This is what the new Edit Cards for editing links in the mobile visual editor look like. You can try the prototype here: 📲 Try Edit Cards.

Welcome back to the Editing newsletter.

Since the last newsletter, the team has released two new features for the mobile visual editor and has started developing three more. All of this work is part of the team's goal to make editing on mobile web simpler.

Before talking about the team's recent releases, we have a question for you:

Are you willing to try a new way to add and change links?

If you are interested, we would value your input! You can try this new link tool in the mobile visual editor on a separate wiki.

Follow these instructions and share your experience:

📲 Try Edit Cards.

Recent releases

The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the mobile site. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:

1. Section editing
   • The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
   • The team studied this with an A/B test. This test showed that contributors who could use section editing were 1% more likely to publish the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
2. Loading overlay
   • The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.

Section editing and the new loading overlay are now available to everyone using the mobile visual editor.

New and active projects

This is a list of our most active projects. Watch these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.

• Edit cards: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles. You can try this feature now. Go here to see how: 📲 Try Edit Cards.
• Mobile toolbar refresh: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
• Mobile visual editor availability: This A/B test asks: Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor? We are collaborating with 20 Wikipedias to answer this question.
• Usability improvements: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use. The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.

Looking ahead

• Wikimania: Several members of the Editing Team will be attending Wikimania in August 2019. They will lead a session about mobile editing in the Community Growth space. Talk to the team about how editing can be improved.
• Talk Pages: In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin improving talk pages and communication on the wikis.

Learning more

The VisualEditor on mobile is a good place to learn more about the projects we are working on. The team wants to talk with you about anything related to editing. If you have something to say or ask, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

• Only six accounts can be created from one IP address per day. Between 12 August and August 15 this was two accounts per day. This was because of a security issue. It is now six accounts per day again. [114]

Changes later this week

• Only a limited number of accounts can be created from one IP address. An IP address can be whitelisted so that it can create as many accounts as needed. This is useful at events where many new persons learn to edit. IP addresses that are whitelisted for this reason will also not show CAPTCHAs when you create accounts. This will happen on Wednesday. [115]

Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.

Help

What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team wants your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

Talk pages project

The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

Mobile visual editor

The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Edit Cards

What happens when you click on a link. The new Edit Card is bigger and has more options for editing links.

• On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
• There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links. There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.
• Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.

Toolbar

The editing toolbar is changing in the mobile visual editor. The old system had two different toolbars. Now, all the buttons are together. Tell the team what you think about the new toolbar.

• In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
  • One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
  • New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
  • Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
• Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.

Wikimania

The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

Looking ahead

• Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
• Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.

Google Code-In will soon take place again! Mentor tasks to help new contributors!

Hi everybody! Google Code-in (GCI) will soon take place again - a seven week long contest for 13-17 year old students to contribute to free software projects. Tasks should take an experienced contributor about two or three hours and can be of the categories Code, Documentation/Training, Outreach/Research, Quality Assurance, and User Interface/Design. Do you have any Lua, template, gadget/script or similar task that would benefit your wiki? Or maybe some of your tools need better documentation? If so, and you can imagine enjoying mentoring such a task to help a new contributor, please check out mw:Google Code-in/2019 and become a mentor. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at our talk page. Many thanks in advance! --Martin Urbanec 07:28, 5 நவம்பர் 2019 (UTC)

விக்கிதானுலவி பயன்படுத்தி மாற்றங்கள் செய்ய கோரிக்கை / Changes using Auto Wiki Browser

Tamil Content

உள்ளாட்சி அமைப்புகள் தொடர்பாக உருவாக்கப்பட்ட கட்டுரைகளைப் பார்த்தால் தகவல்சட்டத்தில் ஒரு இடத்தில் பிழை / சிக்கல் உள்ளது .அது பின்வருமாறு

மக்களவை உறுப்பினர் Current MP (Successful candidate - P991) name is missing at d:Q3534088(Qualifier Political party (102) is missing under P585 in d:Q3534088)

கிட்டத்தட்ட எல்லா கட்டுரைகளிலும் இது ஏற்படுவதால், நான் விக்கித்தரவின் உதவியை நாடினேன் .Wikidata IRC channel பார்க்க ஆனால், அவர்கள் குறிப்பிட்ட தரவுகளில் சில சிக்கல்கள் உள்ளன, என்பதால் அந்த தொகுப்பை நாங்கள் மீளிமை செய்தோம் .இப்போது ஒரே வழி ([1997kB] மற்றும் mahir256 [m] வழங்கிய பரிந்துரைகளின்படி) விக்கிதானுலவியைப் பயன்படுத்தி கைமுறையாக மாற்றுவதுதான். எனவே, அதைப் பயன்படுத்துவதற்கு முன்பு, நம் சமூகத்தின் ஒப்புதலை வேண்டுகிறேன் .

ஆங்கில உள்ளடக்கம்

If one looks at the articles created on Local Self Governing bodies , it might be seen that there is an error/issue in the infobox.It reads as

மக்களவை உறுப்பினர் Current MP (Successful candidate - P991) name is missing at d:Q3534088(Qualifier Political party (102) is missing under P585 in d:Q3534088)

.Since it occurs in almost all the articles , I took the help of Wikidata IRC channel . Users [1997kB] and mahir256[m] helped me out . You can see that in the changes .But , there are some issues like temporal data which they mentioned , so we reverted back the change . Now the only way(as per suggestions given by [1997kB] and mahir256[m]) is to change it manually using autowikibrowser . So , before using it , asking for community's approval--Commons sibi (பேச்சு) 11:30, 25 நவம்பர் 2019 (UTC) .

இதற்குக் கட்டுரைகளைத் திருத்த வேண்டியதில்லை. P991 என்ற பண்பினை விக்கித் தரவில் நீக்கியுள்ளார்கள். அதற்கு மாற்றான ஒன்றைக் கொண்டு இந்த வார்ப்புருவைத் திருத்தினால் போதும். அதற்கு முன்பு முயன்ற போது சரியான எண் கிடைக்கவில்லை. நீங்களும் முயன்று பாருங்கள். தற்போதைக்கு வழுத் தொடர் தெரியாதவாறு மாற்றியுள்ளேன். -நீச்சல்காரன் (பேச்சு) 12:13, 25 நவம்பர் 2019 (UTC)

நன்றி . --Commons sibi (பேச்சு) 07:28, 26 நவம்பர் 2019 (UTC)

ஐபி முகவரி தடை விலக்கு

வணக்கம். என்னுடைய லேப்டாப் இந்த ஆண்டு துவக்கத்தில் ஹேக் செய்யப்பட்டது, அதனைத் தொடர்ந்து நான் தற்போது விபிஎண் இணைப்புடன் இணையப் பயன்பாட்டை உபயோகம் செய்து வருகிறேன். இதனால் என்னால் விக்கிப்பீடியாவில் தொகுக்க முடியவில்லை. கீழே உள்ள செய்தி வருகிறது. ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் விபிஎண் இணைப்பை துண்டித்து விட்டே விக்கிப்பீடியாவில் தொகுப்புகளை செய்ய இயல்கிறது.

Your IP address is in a range which has been blocked on all wikis. The block was made by -revi (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Open proxy: Leaky webhost: Contact stewards if you are affected . Start of block: 15:49, 26 சூன் 2018
Expiration of block: 15:49, 26 சூன் 2021
You can contact -revi to discuss the block. You cannot use the "இப் பயனருக்கு மின்னஞ்சல் செய்" feature unless a valid email address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 208.131.139.69, and the blocked range is 208.131.128.0/19. Please include all above details in any queries you make.

பாதுகாப்பு காரணங்களுக்காக நான் தொடர்ந்து விபிஎண் பயன்படுத்தி வருகிறேன். இங்கு கொடுத்துள்ள கொள்கைப்படி தமிழ் விக்கிப்பீடியாவின் நிருவாகிகள் எனக்கு விலக்கு அழிக்க முடியும். தடை செய்யப்பட்ட 208.131.128.0/19 வலையத்தில் என்னுடைய ஐபி முகவரி இல்லாத போதும், என்னுடைய தொகுப்புகளை தடுப்பது (உள்நுழைவு செய்திருந்தும்) வியப்பை அளிக்கின்றது. நிருவாகிகள் உதவுமாறு கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறேன். --தினேஷ்குமார் பொன்னுசாமி (பேச்சு) 03:02, 4 திசம்பர் 2019 (UTC)

As a quick response, i write in English. It is universal IP block for some IP ranges in order to prevent socks and scam edits. The block preformed by meta. --AntanO (பேச்சு) 03:22, 4 திசம்பர் 2019 (UTC)

@AntanO: நான் இங்கு படித்த போது, நிருவாகிகள் (sysop) இதற்கு விலக்கு அளிக்க முடியும் என்று கூறியிருந்தனர். எனக்கு இரண்டு கேள்விகள் உள்ளது.

1. உள்நுழைவு செய்த பிறகு எதற்காக ஐபி முகவரி கண்கானிக்கப்படுகிறது. 2. தடை செய்யப்பட்ட வலையம்: 208.131.128.0/19, என் முகவரி: 208.131.139.69. இரண்டும் ஒரே முகவரியில் துவங்கினாலும், வெவ்வேறு தான். நன்றி. --தினேஷ்குமார் பொன்னுசாமி (பேச்சு) 17:47, 6 திசம்பர் 2019 (UTC)

மேற்கோள் வார்ப்புரு மொழிபெயர்ப்பு தேவை

மேற்கோள்களில் archive.org இல் சேமிக்கப்பட்ட இணைப்பை, ஆங்கிலத்தில் "archived from the original" என்று வருகிறது. அதனை தமிழில் மொழிபெயர்க்குமாறு கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறேன். அதனை இப்பக்கத்தில் பின்வரும் வரிகளில் மாற்றம் செய்ய வேண்டும் என்று நினைக்கிறேன். நன்றி -- பாலாஜி ^{(பேசலாம் வாங்க!)} 15:50, 6 திசம்பர் 2019 (UTC)

|{{{Sep|,}}} {{#ifeq:{{{Sep}}}|.|A|a}}rchived{{
    #if:{{{OriginalURL|}}}{{{IncludedWorkURL|}}}
    |{{#if:{{{ArchiveURL|}}}| from {{Citation/make link|{{{OriginalURL|{{{IncludedWorkURL|}}}}}}|the original}}}}

மேற்படி வார்ப்புரு (archive உடன்) இணைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள கட்டுரை ஒன்றை உதாரணமாகத் தருவது எப்போதும் நல்லது. அல்லாதுவிடின் நான் ஆயிரக்கணக்கான கட்டுரைகளில் உதாரணம் ஒன்றைத் தேடிப்பிடிப்பது மிகவும் சிரமமான காரியம். ஆனாலும், {{Cite web}} வார்ப்புருவில் "மூல முகவரியிலிருந்து", "date அன்று பரணிடப்பட்டது." என்றவாறு மொழிபெயர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.--Kanags ^{\உரையாடுக} 22:08, 6 திசம்பர் 2019 (UTC)

@Kanags:. எடுத்துக்காட்டுக்காக சூர்யா (நடிகர்) கட்டுரையிலுள்ள பல மேற்கோள்களுக்கு "archived from the original" என்று உள்ளது. மேலும் இப்படித் தேடினால் இது போல் பல கட்டுரைகள் கிடைக்கும். நன்றி -- பாலாஜி ^{(பேசலாம் வாங்க!)} 18:52, 8 திசம்பர் 2019 (UTC)
