    • Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour November 20th, 2023: Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The seventh Wikidata Working Hour will cover the Author Disambiguator tool, which helps users assign authors to articles.During the session we will demonstrate how to use the tool on an author who was created during a previous working hour, and another who doesn't exist in Wikidata yet. After the demonstration, participants are encouraged to try the tool themselves during the rest of the working hour. This session will build on the work done in previous Working Hours by connecting authors to the articles they have written. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page

Rocade de Bordeaux BA ?

Bonjour,

À la suite de la fusion des articles A631, A630 et N230, j'ai essayé d'améliorer Rocade de Bordeaux pour en faire un bon article. Ayant plutôt l'habitude de rédiger des articles autour d'univers de fiction, je ne sais pas si le vocabulaire que j'ai employé est correct, ou si mes phrases sont parfaitement compréhensibles. J'ai signalé mon intention d'en faire un BA il y a une semaine mais je n'ai eu aucun retour.

Pour la rédaction et le plan, je me suis inspiré de Boulevard périphérique de Paris qui est un AdQ. J'ai été principalement limité par les sources qui sont moins présentes (notamment pour l'histoire de la rocade), j'ai donc adapté et essayé de faire au mieux. Si tu as le temps de passer jeter un coup d’œil et me dire si tu trouves mon intention prématurée ou pas, ce serait super !

Bonne année ! --CeΔ (discuter) 6 janvier 2024 à 10:27 (CET)

Wikidata weekly summary #611

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Discussions

• New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)

Events

• Upcoming: The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 17th January 2024 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group.

Actualités techniques n° 2024-03

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique Wikimédia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

Changements récents

• Les pages qui utilisent le modèle de contenu JSON utiliseront désormais des tabulations au lieu d’espaces pour l’indentation automatique, ce qui réduira significativement la taille des pages. [28]
• Les gadgets et scripts utilisateur personnels peuvent désormais utiliser la syntaxe JavaScript d’ES6 (aussi appelé « ES2015 ») et d’ES7 (« ES2016 »). MediaWiki doit valider le code source pour protéger les autres fonctionnalités du site contre les erreurs de syntaxe et vérifier que les scripts sont valides dans tous les navigateurs pris en charge. Auparavant, les gadgets pouvaient utiliser l’option requiresES6. Cette option n’est plus nécessaire et sera donc supprimée à l’avenir. [29]
• Les mots de passe des robots et les utilisations d’OAuth pour propriétaire uniquement peuvent désormais être restreints pour n’autoriser la modification que de certaines pages. [30]
• Vous pouvez désormais remercier les robots pour des contributions spécifiques. [31]
• Une actualité concernant l’état de la consultation des souhaits de la communauté pour 2024 a été publiée. Vous êtes invités à la lire et à y réagir.

Changements à venir cette semaine

• La nouvelle version de MediaWiki sera installée sur les wikis de test et sur MediaWiki.org à partir du 16 janvier. Elle sera installée sur tous les wikis hormis la majorité des Wikipédias le 17 janvier et enfin sur toutes les Wikipédias restantes le 18 janvier (calendrier). [32][33]
• À partir du 17 janvier, il ne sera plus possible de se connecter aux wikis Wikimedia depuis certaines versions spécifiques du navigateur Chrome (versions 51 à 66, sorties entre 2016 et 2018). De plus, les utilisateurs d’iOS 12 ou de Safari sur Mac OS 10.14 devront peut-être se connecter séparément à chaque wiki. [34]
• Le module jquery.cookie a été déprécié et remplacé par le module mediawiki.cookie l’an dernier. Un script a été lancé pour remplacer toutes les utilisations restantes. Les alias temporaires seront retirés cette semaine. [35]

Futurs changements

• Wikimedia Allemagne travaille à rendre plus facile la réutilisation de références. Ils recherchent des personnes intéressées pour participer à des appels vidéos individuels pour une étude utilisateur en janvier et février.

Actualités techniques n° 2024-05

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique Wikimédia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

Changements récents

• À partir de lundi 29 janvier, tous les horodatages des messages dans les pages de discussion deviendront des liens. Chaque lien est un permalien vers le message. Il permet aux utilisateurs de retrouver le message qu’ils recherchent, même si celui-ci a été déplacé ailleurs. Cela va concerner tous les wikis, sauf la Wikipédia en anglais. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur ce changement sur Diff ou sur MediaWiki.org. [39]
• Quelques améliorations ont eu lieu sur le Captcha pour le rendre plus efficace contre les robots polluposteurs et les scripts. Vos commentaires peuvent être publiés sur la tâche de développement. L’équipe va surveiller les statistiques liées au Captcha et celles secondaires telles que la création de comptes et le nombre de modifications.

Changements à venir cette semaine

• La nouvelle version de MediaWiki sera installée sur les wikis de test et sur MediaWiki.org à partir du 30 janvier. Elle sera installée sur tous les wikis hormis la majorité des Wikipédias le 31 janvier et enfin sur toutes les Wikipédias restantes le 1 février (calendrier). [40][41]
• Le 1^er février, un lien sera jouter au menu « Outils » pour télécharger un code QR qui renverra vers la page que vous regardez. Une nouvelle page Spécial:QrCode permettra par ailleurs de créer des codes QR pour toute URL Wikimedia. Cela répond au 19^e souhait de la consultation 2023 des souhaits de la communauté. [42]
• Les gadgets qui ne fonctionnent que sur certains habillages utilisent parfois l’option targets pour limiter les pages où vous pouvez les utiliser. Cela va cesser de fonctionner cette semaine. Vous devez sans doute utiliser l’option skins à la place. [43]
