Be a Wikimedia fundraising "User Experience" volunteer!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered last year on the Wikimedia fundraising 'User Experience' project. We have talked to many different people in different countries and their feedback has helped us immensely in restructuring our pages. If you haven't heard of it yet, the 'User Experience' project has the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries (outside the USA) and enhancing the localization of our donation pages.

I am (still) searching for volunteers to spend some time on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. **All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be very low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)**

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!!

Thanks!

Wikimedia sites to move to primary data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Read-only mode expected.

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) Next week, the Wikimedia Foundation will transition its main technical operations to a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. This is intended to improve the technical performance and reliability of all Wikimedia sites, including this wiki. There will be some times when the site will be in read-only mode, and there may be full outages; the current target windows for the migration are January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2013, from 17:00 to 01:00 UTC (see other timezones on timeanddate.com). More information is available in the full announcement.

If you would like to stay informed of future technical upgrades, consider becoming a Tech ambassador and joining the ambassadors mailing list. You will be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Thank you for your help and your understanding.

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

  1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
  2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
  3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons.

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Šablonų kategorizavimas: "Žymių šablonai"

Šablono aptarimas:Dokumentavimas yra pasiūlymas ([3]) kategoriją Kategorija:Žymių šablonai ([4]) naudoti nebe šabloną Šablonas:Message box naudojančių šablonų, o „skydelių“ surinkimui. Daugeliu atvejų šablonai liktų tie patys (minėtas šablonas naudojamas visų pirma skydeliams kurti), bet reikėtų kiekvieną šabloną kategorijai priskirti atskirai. Ar būtų kokių nors pastabų, prieštaravimų, pasiūlymų ar komentarų šiuo klausimu..?

Taip pat būtų ir kitas, susijęs, klausimas: kaip išvis reikėtų kategorizuoti ir skirstyti šablonus? Šiuo metu kategorijoje Kategorija:Šablonai yra 169 puslapiai (sakyčiau, šimtu šešiasdešimt devyniais puslapiais per daug) ir 28 kategorijos, pavyzdžiui, „Administracinių vienetų šablonai“, „Aptarimų šablonai“, „Football (soccer) navigational boxes (standardized)‎“, „Formatavimo šablonai“. Kategorijos aptarime yra pasvarstymų šia tema (pavyzdžiui, [5])... --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 00:21, 29 sausio 2013 (EET)

Hmm... Atrodo, niekas neprotestuoja... Matyt, reikės po truputį šablonus priskyrinėti kategorijai tiesiogiai... Gal tada kokių minčių ateis..? --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 03:43, 5 vasario 2013 (EET)

Klausimas

Mano sukurtame puslapyje ,,Kauno Dievo Kūno bažnyčia" mano paties daryta bažnyčios nuotrauka, kurią aš ir įkėliau tuo tikslu į šį puslapį kažkodėl yra perkelta į lenkų puslapį tos pačios temos, o jos vietoje panaudota nekokybiška kažkieno kito fotografija. Kodėl taip padaryta ir kodėl nebuvo paklausta mano sutikimo, juolab, kad aš jo ir nebūčiau davęs. Norėčiau, kad tas, kuris šitaip pasielgė atkeltų fotografiją atgal. -- šis nepasirašytas komentaras buvo paliktas naudotojo Stanislovas01 (aptarimasindėlis) 22:35, 2 vasario 2013‎ (EET)

Pala, pala. Straipsnio Kauno Dievo Kūno bažnyčia ([6]) Jūs lyg ir niekada neredagavote. Sukūrė tą straipsnį naudotojas „Timas“. Ar Jūs esate šio naudotojo klonas (žr. Vikipedija:Naudotojų klonai)..?
Be to, šiaip ar taip, niekas neturi Jūsų atsiklausti dėl Jūsų įkeltos medžiagos naudojimo. Įkeldamas kažką į Vikipediją Jūs automatiškai duodate leidimą su įkeltu objektu daryti iš esmės bet ką. --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 22:46, 2 vasario 2013 (EET)

Naudotojas Timas, buvo mano ankstesnysis vartojo vardas (dėl mano kompiuterio nesklandumų man teko iš naujo visur registruotis ir susikurti naujas paskyras. Tai tikrai ne iš blogos valios), tad šį, kaip ir kitus daugumą istorinių straipsnių sukūrė tas pats asmuo. Tačiau tai nereiškia, jog geros kokybės nuotrauka pakeičiama netikusios kokybės, juolab, kad aš kažkodėl lenkų kalbos ir jos kultūros nepopuliarinu. Juolab, kad daugelio lenkų puslapių istorinė medžiaga yra pateikiama klaidingai, bet ją taisyti jie neleidžia. Tad man dabar nieko kito nelieka, tik man savąją nuotrauką pašalinti. --Stanislovas01 (aptarimas) 00:26, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)


Dėl klaidų lenkų Vikipedijos straipsniuose siūlau kreiptis į lenkus, mes deja neką tegalime pagelbėti. O dėl lietuviško straipsnio, nuotrauką pakeitė naudotojas Iulius, galite su juo pasitarti, išsiaiškinti pakeitimo priežastis ir kartu nuspręsti, kurią nuotrauką palikti, ar abi. Man asmeniškai jos abi atrodo visai tinkamos. --Nomad (aptarimas) 00:40, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)


Savo nuotrauką aš jau pašalinau iš lenkų puslapio, nes iš esmės su jais tartis yra vargas, kadangi kiek berašai, jog esi istorikas ir tai, ką rašai yra istoriškai teisinga, tiek jie nereguoja. Tad šiuo atveju, pasielgiau kaip mano nuomone geriausia. --Stanislovas01 (aptarimas) 00:44, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Kas vyksta lenkų Vikipedijoje ne mano reikalas ir ne mano taip sakant jurisdikcija, tai tik draugiški patarimai: „savo“ nuotraukos iš ten pašalinti neturite teisės (nes nuotraukai galioja GDFL licencija) ir toks elgesys tikriausiai bus įvertintas kaip vandalizmas, o nuotrauka atstatyta, ir jei bandysite vėl pašalinti, greičiausiai Jus ten užblokuos. Jei dėl kažkokių priežasčių labai norite ištrinti tą nuotrauką, teks kreiptis į Wikimedia Commons ir bandyti draugiškai susitarti, draugiškai tai reiškia Jūs būsite prašytojo pozicijoje ir Jūsų prašymą galbūt patenkins galbūt ne. --Nomad (aptarimas) 00:47, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)
Visa tai nieko bendro neturi su reikalu. Nusiųsdamas failiuką Jūs suteikėte teisę juo naudotis visiems be jokio atskiro prašymo. Jei išties norėjote neleisti jos naudoti lenkams, reikėjo jos čia nedėti. Dabar jau šaukštai po pietų, kitą kartą būkite atidesnis.
Dėl straipsnio – irgi beveik tas pats. Jei norėjote, kad straipsnį kiti redaguotų tik taip, kaip Jums patinka, reikėjo nedėti jo į Vikipediją. Yra dar ir taisyklė Vikipedija:Nuosavybė, kuri sako, kad autorius neturi jokių išskirtinių straipsnių į straipsnį.
Galiausiai, dėl vartotojo vardo. Kad būtų išvengta tokių nesusipratimų, minėtą puslapį atitinkamai pažymėsiu šablonu Šablonas:Klonas. Tada visiems bus aišku, kad ten redagavo tas pats žmogus. O gal ir dar kuriuos reikėtų? --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 00:50, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Na, ką gi dėkui bent už tokią informaciją. Kiek atmenu visi straipsniai, kuriuos ar rašiau yra mano asmeniniam puslapyje. Jeigu ko neįrašęs, tai greičiausiai neatsimenu. Kas liečia straipsnio redagavimą tai aš jo neredaguoju, taip, kaip aš noriu, o vadovaudamasis tiksliomis žiniomis. Štai galiu pateikti pavyzdį straipsnyje Stanislovas Moravskis mano rašytame yra pažymėta, jog asmuo yra lietuvis, ši informacija remiasi daugybę istoriografinių ir šaltinotyros dokumentų, o tame pačiame lenkų puslapyje teigiama, kad jis lenkas, juolab, kad ta asmenybė niekur nėra savęs įvardijusi lenku. Vadinasi informacija klaidina skaitytojus. --Stanislovas01 (aptarimas) 00:58, 3 vasario 2013 (EET

Nelabai ten matau „daugybės istoriografinių ir šaltinotyros dokumentų“, vos dvi nuorodos ir viena išnaša į šaltinį. --Nomad (aptarimas) 03:32, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)
Aš ir nesu suinteresuotas dėti visos istoriografijos. Kažkaip vikipedijoj archyvinių šaltinių, bylų ir aprašų niekas nededa. Taip, kad mano mielas, biški atvėsk su sarkazmu. Mat abejoju, ar tu istorikas. Be kita ko, atsižvelk į faktą, jog ten esti surašyta visa įmanoma bibliografija. --Stanislovas01 (aptarimas) 13:47, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)
Atleiskite, bet norėtųsi priminti, kad ir Jūs pats nesate pateikęs jokių įrodymų, kad esate istorikas, išskyrus savo žodžius. Be to, visai nesvarbu, ar redaguoja istorikas, ar matematikas, ar gatvių šlavėjas (dėl to nėra ir prasmės pateikinėti minėtų įrodymų). Svarbūs yra šaltiniai (žr. Vikipedija:Patikrinamumas), kuriuos šiaip jau pateikti ir patikrinti turėtų būti galima ne tik profesionaliems istorikams. O reikalinga kompetencija, beje, visai nebūtinai koreliuoja su diplomo turėjimu – jau vien dėl to, kad reikalinga yra toli gražu ne tik „profesinė“ kompetencija (žr. Vikipedija:Kompetencija nėra nereikalinga).
Ir būtų patartina, kad naudotumėte ne tiesiai archyvus (kuriuos neretai dar reikia interpretuoti, kas kartais gali pažeisti Vikipedija:Mokslinis naujumas netoleruojamas), o istorikų normaliuose žurnaluose paskelbtus straipsnius ar pan. Ir, aišku, tuos šaltinius nurodytumėte (žr. Vikipedija:Šaltinių nurodymas). --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 14:31, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)
Pone Stanislovai, panašu, kad supainiojote Vikipediją su savo asmeniniu tinklaraščiu. Vienas pagrindinių skirtumų tarp jų yra tas, kad Vikipedijoje niekam nerūpi kuo jūs esate suinteresuotas. Kitas svarbus skirtumas, kad savo asmeniniame tinklaraštyje galite nurodinėti kitiems „atvėsti“, tuo tarpu taip bendrauti Vikipedijoje su Jums padėti norinčiu Vikipedijos administratoriumi – ne pati geriausia idėja. Grįžtant prie temos, kadangi ten kaip ir nėra šaltinių, ir nesate „suinteresuotas“ jų įdėti, teks kiek labiau atkreipti dėmesį į tą straipsnį. Kas ten žino, gal teisūs lenkai --Nomad (aptarimas) 14:34, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) coming to this Wikipedia

Wikidata-logo-en.svg

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally.

Wikidata has been in development for a few months now. It is now time for the roll-out of the first part of it on your Wikipedia. Phase 1 is the support for the management of language links. It is already being used on the Hungarian, Hebrew, Italian and English Wikipedias. The next step is to enable the extension on all other Wikipedias. We have currently planned this for March 6.

What is Wikidata?

Wikidata is a central place to store data that you can usually find in infoboxes. Think of it as something like Wikimedia Commons but for data (like the number of inhabitants of a country or the length of a river) instead of multimedia. The first part of this project (centralizing language links) is being rolled out now. The more fancy things will follow later.

What is going to happen?

Language links in the sidebar are going to come from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.

Where can I find more information and ask questions?

Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata

Updating the logo for this wiki

New logo

Hello! As part of the update of Wikipedias logos to the new (2010) 3D puzzle globe version, we have noticed that your wiki's current logo is missing, outdated or with wrong translation. We are trying to help Wikipedias get a locally-adapted correct logo, by taking the technical difficulties on us, and in about a week from now we'll be replacing the current logo with the new one shown in this gallery, with explanation. If the translation is wrong, or there's another error in the new logo, or the community disagrees with the update, please update the list of logos or tell us on its talk. Feel free to translate this message and to move/copy/forward it where appropriate. Thanks, Nemo 15:42, 11 kovo 2013 (EET)

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Translation =

Please, could you translate the following article into Latvian?

Welcome to the Ido Wikipedia. Ido was first known as reformed Esperanto and was created in 1907 after seven years of deliberation by a committee of professors and linguists. You may notice that Ido looks somewhat like Esperanto, but with a number of differences including a complete lack of diacritical marks, the use of the letter 'q', along with many of the words themselves. If you are studying Ido and want to write for our Wikipedia, feel free! There are people here to correct your Ido should you make a mistake. Just use the Šablonas:Revizo tag whenever you think your article could use some grammatical revision. The main site for the Ido language is located here, Ido publications are located here, and the English Wikipedia article on Ido is located here. A complete list of sites in Ido on the internet is located here. Lastly, the main reasons for choosing Ido over the more well-known Esperanto are summed up in this article.

Labscouse/lapskaus/labskovs/labskojs/scouse/Labskaus in the Baltic languages

My apoligies for posing a question in English. The reason is that I do not understand any of the Baltic languages and I have a problem concerning your language.

The theme of labscouse with its counterparts in other languages: Labskaus (English)/ lapskaus (Norwegish) / labskovs (Dänish)/ lapskojs (Swedish) / Labskaus (German) / scouse (English) has an intereresting baltic twist. The english article claims: Latvian Labs kausis, meaning 'good bowl' or hotpot, or Lithuanian labas káuszas, meaning the same. This claim seems to originate in an article in Spiegel (Dabei gibt es zwei baltische Sprachen, in denen das scheinbare Kauderwelsch einen Sinn ergibt: Labs kausis heißt auf Lettisch "gute Schüssel", auf Litauisch sagt man dazu labas káuszas. ). This seems to have travelled world wide. Googling the words just reveals a whole lot of hits originating with Wikipedia articles and I was unable to find relevant dictionaries. The origin of the word in Scandinavia and Germany seems to be clear, the origin of the word is English. The origin of the English "lobscouse" is however unclear. It would be a very interesting story if lobscouse had anything to do with the Baltic countries.

About the etymology I becoming more and more confident that it is a very old loan from english, but other possibilities have to be eliminated. The DWDS states that it comes from English. Duden online says: aus dem Niederdeutschen < englisch lobscouse, Herkunft ungeklärt. It is most certainly a well travelled word as a lot of sailors expressions are. In English it is traced back to 1707 (Oxford English Dictionary is probably the most reliable source to English), and there is uncertainty about the earlier origin of the word. The Springer article seems to caracterize it's own examples as Kauderwelsch and given that the article has given rise to a theory qouted in english and other Wikipedias, it could well be a very good joke, but elimination is the clue and the Springer article could be very original research.

I have not been able to find much about the Baltic words on the net. Google claims that labas means good, but does not recognize labs. Google translates kausis to cup (latvian) will fight (lithuanian), káuszas to eye sockets (lithuanian). I was not really dissapointed, machine translation is more for fun if you know both languages and can enjoy the Kauderwelsch they sometimes produce. I would dearly like some proper translation of the baltic words.

- Are there any online dictionaries available?. The Springer article refers to the words - Labs kausis - and - labas káuszas- and I need a translation of this preferably with an internet link (hopefully reliable) and if possible with a translation to English or German. Google is not a reliable source and I can't very well qoute this forum eighter.

- I would also like to know if the phrases: - Labs kausis - and - labas káuszas - are connected, mean the same thing, have same etymology for instance. Thank you for your time and best wishes from --Stallo (aptarimas) 12:13, 28 kovo 2013 (EET)

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) coming to this Wikipedia

Wikidata-logo-en.svg

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. It is soon time to enable the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) and things are looking good. The next step is English Wikipedia. This is planned for April 8. If everything works out fine we will deploy on all remaining Wikipedias on April 10. I will update this part of the FAQ if there are any issues forcing us to change this date. I will also sent another note to this village pump once the deployment is finished.

What will happen once we have phase 2 enabled here? Once it is enabled in a few days you will be able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!)

How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:

  • Use a parser function like {{#property:p169}} in the wiki text of the article on Yahoo!. This will return “Marissa Mayer” as she is the chief executive officer of the company.
  • For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.

We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:chief executive officer}} instead of {{#property:p169}}. The complete plan for this is here.

Where can I test this? You can already test it on test2.

Where can I find more information and ask questions? We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

Kodėl „perkelti“, o ne „pervardyti“?

Kodėl kiekviename Vikipedijos straipsnyje esanti straipsnio pervardijimo funkcija įvardyta „perkelti“, o ne „pervardyti“? Be to, ne „pervadinti“, o „pervardyti“ (http://dz.lki.lt/word/pervardyti/). Ir prie to pačio: ar nėra galimybės pakeisti datos formato į lietuvišką (dabar, pasirašant, rašoma „12:50, 18 balandžio 2013 (EEST)“, nors lietuviškai būtų „12:50, 2013 m. balandžio 18 d. (EEST)“).

Hello!

There is a new request for comment on Meta-Wiki concerning the removal of administrative rights from long-term inactive Wikimedians. Generally, this proposal from stewards would apply to wikis without an administrators' review process.

We are also compiling a list of projects with procedures for removing inactive administrators on the talk page of the request for comment. Feel free to add your project(s) to the list if you have a policy on administrator inactivity.

All input is appreciated. The discussion may close as soon as 21 May 2013 (2013-05-21), but this will be extended if needed.

Thanks, Billinghurst (thanks to all the translators!) 07:59, 24 balandžio 2013 (EEST)

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) is here

Wikidata-logo-en.svg

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. We have now enabled the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) a month ago and two days ago on the English Wikipedia. Today all the remaining Wikipedias followed.

What does having phase 2 enabled here mean? You are now able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!) The current state is just the beginning though. It will be extended based on feedback we get from you now.

How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:

  • Use a parser function like {{#property:p159}} in the wiki text of the article on Wikimedia Foundation. This will return “San Francisco” as that is the headquarter location of the non-profit.
  • For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.

We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:headquarter location}} instead of {{#property:p159}}. The complete plan for this is here.

Where can I test this? You can test it on test2 if you don't want to do it in an article here.

Where can I find more information and ask questions? We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata To stay up-to-date on everything happening around Wikidata please subscribe to the newsletter that is delivered weekly to subscribed user’s talk pages.


We are excited about taking yet another step towards allowing all Wikipedias share structured data and collect and curate it together. --Lydia Pintscher 22:13, 24 balandžio 2013 (EEST)

[en] Change to wiki account system and account renaming

Some accounts will soon be renamed due to a technical change that the developer team at Wikimedia are making. More details on Meta.

[en] Change to section edit links

The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.

Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.

Nežinau kaip???

Sveiki, noriu sukurti straipsni apie žymu žmogu, bet nemoku ikelti nuotraukos, kaip reikia tai padaryti? -- šis nepasirašytas komentaras buvo paliktas naudotojo Cikita123 (aptarimasindėlis) 16:32, 2 gegužės 2013‎ (EEST)

Ar norite į straipsnį įdėti nuotrauką, kuri kur nors Vikipedijoje jau yra, ar norite ir pačią nuotrauką įkelti..? --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 01:28, 8 gegužės 2013 (EEST)

del automatinio filtro

turiu nusiskundima dėl automatinio filtro parasai zodzio paiskinima kad suprastu kiti zmones bet ne jam netinka tipo per trumpai, cia ne bakalauras ar magistras kad pilstyt is tuscio i kiaura!!! -- šis nepasirašytas komentaras buvo paliktas naudotojo Sawass19 (aptarimasindėlis) 22:13, 7 gegužės 2013‎ (EEST)

Tai gal galima būtų konkrečiau? Koks yra tas žodis ir koks tas paaiškinimas? O šiaip jau, jei filtras kelia triukšmą, tai turbūt ne tik iki magistrinio darbo, bet ir iki poros sakinių dar kažko trūksta... --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 01:30, 8 gegužės 2013 (EEST)
