Wikimedia Apps newsletter – Third quarter of 2024
编辑Hello, and welcome to the app's third newsletter of 2024! In this edition, we will highlight the accomplishments and progress made during July, August, and September 2024!
iOS Updates
Over 20,000 images have been added via the "Add an Image" feature across both iOS and Android! (T372954), good opportunity to try it yourself ;) This tool allows users to enhance Wikipedia articles by adding relevant images. It’s a great way to contribute and improve the visual experience for readers.
The iOS team kicked off the Alt Text experiment to improve image descriptions for accessibility. This feature helps ensure that visually impaired users can better understand the content of images through descriptive text.
The iOS App has been transitioning from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports both reading and editing. After adding a number of editing features, the navigation system of the app needs to grow and change to support them and future additions. Improving our navigation will allow for more app users to discover editing features, and allow experienced users quicker access to their most-used tools. This refresh incorporates findings from usability testing with multiple variants of the App's navigation. The team is currently planning phased rollouts over the coming year to improve user experience. (Phase 1: T373714)
Android Updates
Improvements were made to the Places feature in response to user feedback, including larger cluster icons and a Wikipedia logo for articles without images (T371067, T370094). Also, the team is exploring designs to allow users to explore articles from multiple language wikis simultaneously and will adjust the zoom logic to show nearby locations upon launch (T352757, T368792).
- WikiTrivia Game
The team prepared for the WikiTrivia Game during a hackathon, selecting a data source and creating initial designs (T371508, T371510).
Work began on adding Recommended Content to search, iterating on design concepts and testing performance (T371613).
The team is now engaging with several wikis to implement Machine-Assisted Article Descriptions based on prior experimental results.
- Sharing reading lists
Android users can now share reading lists with others, expanding community collaboration (T370703).
And some performance enhancements: Revision tags for app edits were successfully implemented (T366731, T366732).
得益于志愿开发者的贡献，该应用现在支持在 Pixel 设备上分享 URL (T370020).
Stay tuned for future updates as we continue to enhance your Wikipedia experience! And you can subscribe to this newsletter.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-42
编辑The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
The little Danes experiment was a 1951 Danish operation where 22 Greenlandic Inuit children were sent to Danish foster families in an attempt to re-educate them as "little Danes". While the children were all supposed to be orphans, most were not. Six children were adopted while in Denmark, and sixteen returned to Greenland, only to be placed in Danish-speaking orphanages and never live with their families again. Half of the children experienced mental health disturbances, and half of them died in young adulthood. The government of Denmark officially apologised in 2020, after several years of demands from Greenlandic officials.

Press, articles, blog posts, videos
- Blogs
- Small data, slow data − a SNAIL approach to Wikidata: discusses the value of small, carefully curated datasets in the era of big data. It emphasizes the importance of taking a methodical, "snail-paced" approach to data collection and analysis, which can lead to more meaningful and accurate insights. The blogpost also highlights how this approach can complement the broader trends of big data, ensuring that detailed, high-quality data is not overlooked.
- Papers
- "WoolNet: Finding and Visualising Paths in Knowledge Graphs" given two or more entities requested by a user, the system finds and visualises paths that connect these entities, forming a topical subgraph of Wikidata (Torres Gutiérrez and Hogan)
- Videos

- Notebooks
Tool of the week
- Elemwala (এলেমওয়ালা) (https://elemwala.toolforge.org): is a proof-of-concept interface that allows you to input abstract content and get natural language text in a given output language. There may well be errors with particular inputs, and the text may not be quite as natural as you might expect, but that's where your improvements to your language's lexemes, other Wikidata items, and the tool's source code come in!
- mlscores: Tool for calculating multilinguality score of Wikidata items (including properties). E.g. for Wikidata (Q2013), the scores are - en: 99.66%, fr: 89.49%, es: 84.07%, pt: 68.47%. For instance of (P31), the scores are - en: 99.86%, fr: 87.12%, es: 80.83%, pt: 61.37%.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Launch of WikiProject Deprecate P642: The goal of this project is to prepare for deprecation, and eventual removal, of the property of (P642). Currently, of (P642) is labeled as "being deprecated", meaning its use is still allowed, but discouraged. From a peak of around 900,000 uses, the property now has around 700,000 uses (see status here). Our goal is to reduce that as much as possible in a systematic way, while ensuring that appropriate properties exist to replace all valid uses of of (P642). The latter is key to officially deprecating the property. Before removing the property, we want to get as close to zero uses as possible.

Kharayeb (Arabic: الخرايب) is a historic town in the Sidon District in the South Governorate, Lebanon. The town is 77 km (48 mi) south of Beirut, and stands at an average altitude of 190 m (620 ft) above sea level. The town boasts a rich historical legacy, with archaeological excavations revealing a complex settlement history spanning from Prehistory to the Ottoman period. Notably, Kharayeb's origins can be traced back to the Persian period (539–330 BC), when it played a pivotal role in the region's agricultural and economic landscape, culminating in the construction of its Phoenician temple around the 6th century BC.

- New requests for permissions/Bot:
- CarbonBot - (1) Add default mul labels to given and family names when the item has an existing default label with a mul language (2) Remove duplicated aliases matching the items mul label, when the item has a native label in with a mul language. As mul has not been fully adopted, a limited of aliases would be modified each day to ensure existing workflows are not disrupted. It is expected that these tasks will apply to roughly 800,000 given and family names.

2024年第43期技术新闻
编辑维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- 行动应用程式团队发布iOS应用程式导览功能更新，目前已在最新的App store版本中推出。团队新增了“个人资料”功能表，可让您从条目显示画面中轻松存取通知和监视清单等给编辑者的功能，并将“捐款”按钮移至更方便读者存取的位置。这是规模庞大的导览更新计画的第一阶段，帮助iOS应用程式从一个主要以读者为中心的应用程式，转变成一个完全支援阅读和编辑的应用程式。近年来，维基媒体基金会根据志愿者的请求，新增了许多编辑功能以及对维基交流的支援。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 维基百科读者现在可以下载浏览器扩展程序，尝试一些早期构想的潜在功能，包括推荐条目供进一步阅读、自动总结条目、改善搜寻功能等。参阅网页团队的“内容探索实验”页面了解更多，订阅电子报随时掌握新讯。
- 本月稍晚，这12个维基的未登录编辑者将开始获得自动建立的临时帐号。试行维基清单可能会稍有变动——可能会移除维基，但不会再新增。临时帐号是一种新的用户帐号类型，使未登录编辑者的隐私更受保护，也让社群成员更容易与他们沟通。如果您在这12个维基上维护任何工具、机器人或小工具，，或可供未登入用户使用，请检查其是否需要更新，以应对临时帐号。参阅代码更新指南。参阅所有维基的部署计画。
- 查看上周解决的共33个社群提交工单。 例如，南恩德贝莱语、潘诺尼亚卢森尼亚语、奥博洛语、伊班语、傣那语维基百科语言版本已于上周创建。 [17][18][19][20][21]
- 现在可以在Wikifunctions使用维基数据词位建立函数，通过上周新推出的“维基数据词位”类型。当您进入这些函式之一时，UI会提供一个词位选择器，帮助您从维基数据挑选与您输入的单词相符的词位。点击执行后，您所选取的词位会从维基数据撷取，转换成“维基数据词位”类型，传送至所选的函数中。参阅最新一期的Wikifunctions电子报了解更多。
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 维基媒体网站用户现在可以使用新的
{{#timef:…}}解析器函数，更轻松取得不同语言的格式化日期。例如，{{#timef:now|date|en}}显示为“21 December 2024”，{{#timef:now|date|zh}}显示为“2024年12月21日 (星期六)”。在此之前，{{#time:…}}可以用来格式化日期，但需要手动指定时间和日期的组成部件及顺序及标点符号。#timef（或#timefl用于本地时区）提供对MediaWiki在其UI中使用的标准日期格式的访问。这能有助于简化共享资源和元维基等多语言维基中的一些模板。 [22][23] - 共享资源和元维基用户现在可以使用
{{USERLANGUAGE}}取代{{int:lang}}来有效取得使用者语言。 [24] - 产品和技术谘询委员会（PTAC）目前已有试行成员，代表遍及非洲、亚洲、欧洲、北美洲、南美洲。他们将针对运动策略技术委员会倡议，建立一个共同定义且更具弹性的技术平台。 [25]
深入探索
- 季刊Growth电子报新期数发布。本期内容包括：新手首页“社群新讯”模块即将推出；新的“社群配置”选项；新项目的详情。
- 维基媒体基金会成为通用漏洞揭露（CVE）计画的官方合作伙伴。CVE计画是一项国际性的工作，将公开揭露的网路安全漏洞分类。既维基媒体基金会已成为CVE编号管理者，基金会安全团队将能够对影响MediaWiki核心、扩展、皮肤以及基金会管理的任何代码的漏洞即时发布CVE纪录。
- 社群愿望清单正在测试愿望清单内容的机器翻译。志愿者现在可以阅读愿望的机器翻译版本，在译者翻译内容之前投入讨论。
会议与活动
- 10月24日：维基教育讲者系列线上研讨会——开源技术：建立维基教育面板，由维基媒体实习生和一位网页开发人员参与的专题讨论会。
- 2024年12月20日—22日：2024年印度维基媒体布班尼斯瓦黑客松于印度奥里萨邦举行。该黑客松为社群成员——包括开发者、设计师、内容编辑者——而举办，旨在建构能改善贡献者体验的技术解决方案。

- A small project on benchmarking query engine performance on useful Wikidata queries is asking for queries from the Wikidata user community to potentially be part of the benchmark. If you are a user of any Wikidata SPARQL service please send queries that you find useful to Peter F. Patel-Schneider. Say what you used the query for and whether you would like to be noted as the source of the query. Queries that take considerable time or time out are especially welcome, particularly if the query caused you to switch from the official Wikidata Query Service to some other service. More information about the project is available in Wikidata:Scaling_Wikidata/Benchmarking.

Please be bold and help translate this article!
Storm Filomena was an extratropical cyclone in early January 2021 that was most notable for bringing unusually heavy snowfall to parts of Spain, with Madrid recording its heaviest snowfall in over a century, and with Portugal being hit less severely. The eighth named storm of the 2020–21 European windstorm season, Filomena formed over the Atlantic Ocean close to the Canary Islands on 7 January, subsequently taking a slow track north-eastwards towards the Iberian Peninsula and then eastwards across the Mediterranean Sea.

2024年第49期技术新闻
编辑维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 本周新增了两个解析器函数。
{{#interwikilink}}用于加入跨维基链接、{{#interlanguagelink}}用于加入跨语言链接。这两个解析器函数可以在命名空间与跨维基前缀相冲突时使用。例如，英语维基百科上以MOS:开头的链接与莫西语维基百科的mos语言代码前缀相冲突。 - 从本周开始，维基媒体维基不再支持使用旧式RSA型HTTPS凭证的连接，具体来说是RSA-2048。此举旨在提高所有使用者的安全性。部分较旧、不受支持的浏览器或智慧型行动装置将无法连接；反之，它们会显示连接错误。详情请参阅HTTPS浏览器建议页面。所有现代作业系统和浏览器始终能够访问维基媒体维基。 [43]
- 12月16日开始，部分维基的结构式讨论页将自动存档并设为唯读模式，这些维基包括：arwiki、cawiki、frwiki、mediawikiwiki、orwiki、wawiki、wawiktionary、wikidatawiki、zhwiki。这是结构式讨论弃用作业的一部分。如果您需要任何协助来预先存档您的讨论页，请联络Trizek (WMF)。 [44]
- 本月，Chart图表扩展已部署至生产环境，目前可在共享资源和测试维基使用。随著安全审查的完成，维基试行部署预计于12月第1周开始。您可以在测试维基查看工作版本，并阅读11月的项目更新了解更多。
- 查看上周解决的共23个社群提交工单。 例如，“下载为PDF”系统的错误现已修复。 [45]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 明年2月下旬，临时帐号将在至少10个大型维基推出。这项部署将对由社群维护的代码产生重大影响，影响包括Toolforge工具、机器人、小工具，以及使用IP位址数据或可供未登录用户使用的用户脚本。信任与安全产品团队希望找出这些代码、监控它们，并在部署前协助更新，以尽量减少对工作流程的干扰。团队恳请技术编辑者和志愿开发者们协助找出此类工具，将它们加入此清单。此外，请查阅更新后的文档，了解如何调整此类工具。欢迎到项目讨论页或维基媒体社群Discord伺服器（英文）的专门讨论区参与讨论，寻求支持并分享意见。
Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-50
编辑The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Syrian literature is modern fiction written or orally performed in Arabic by writers from Syria since the independence of the Syrian Arab Republic in 1946. It is part of the historically and geographically wider Arabic literature. The modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel as well as the Palestinian autonomous areas only came into being in the mid-20th century. Therefore, Syrian literature has since been referred to by literary scholarship as the national literature of the Syrian Arab Republic, as well as the works created in Arabic by Syrian writers in the diaspora. This literature has been influenced by the country's political history, the literature of other Arabic-speaking countries and, especially in its early days, by French literature.

This included a Wikidata introduction workshop to equip participants with the editing skills to tackle the project's main aim. This was presented as a game to delete duplicate info on Wikidata and Catalan Viquipèdia infoboxes, in three areas: protected buildings, officers' positions and data related to sports teams players. At the end of the event, ~200 Wikidata-fed infoboxes and Wikidata items were improved and many Wikipedia editors edited Wikidata for the first time!

2024年第50期技术新闻
编辑维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- MediaWiki.org文档中心更新，技术文档贡献者现在可由此取得最新资源，并了解与社群及维基媒体技术文件团队的新联系方式。该页面提供以下连结：文档编写与改进资源、libera.chat上的新IRC频道#wikimedia-techdocs、过去和即将举办的文档相关活动清单、请求文档谘询或审查的方法。如果您对文档生态系统有任何想法或改进意见，请联络技术文档团队。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 本周稍晚，桌面版的编辑检查框将移至侧边栏。编辑检查功能旨在协助新手编辑者遵循方针与指引。这项版面调整腾出的空间，让编辑者在输入文字时，能同时看到新的检查项目。初步结果显示，新手在遇到编辑检查框后，成功发布包含参考资料且未被回退的新内容编辑的可能性提高了2.2倍。
- 数据可视化工具——Chart图表扩展已顺利部署至MediaWiki.org和3个试办维基（义大利语、瑞典语、希伯来语维基百科）。您可以在测试维基查看范例，并阅读11月的项目更新了解更多。
- 在提供移动版内容翻译的维基中，翻译者现在可以从条目建议功能中的“所有收藏”分类中探索他们感兴趣的维基专题活动条目。维基专题的活动筹办人员可以使用此功能，透过将
<page-collection> </page-collection>标签加入至元维基上的活动条目列表页面，帮助翻译者探索感兴趣的条目。这将提高这些条目在内容翻译工具中的能见度。关于如何使用该工具和标签的详情，请参阅逐步指南。 [46] - “大量删除”（Nuke）功能现在有了可多选的命名空间筛选。这使得用户在提取要删除的页面时，能够选择多个特定的命名空间，而不是仅选择一个或全部。
- 此外，在待删除页面进入队列后，大量删除功能现在会提供以下连结：遭删除页面的创建者的用户页，以及其未被选择删除的页面。这使得管理员能更容易进行后续管理操作。感谢Chlod和Moderator Tools团队所做的这两项改进。 [47]
- 编辑团队正在努力让自动填入引用产生器——Citoid更容易从archive.org填入引用。团队要求社群在每个使用Citoid的引用模板的TemplateData中预先加入两个参数
archiveUrl和archiveDate。参见模板变更范例，以及所有相关模板的清单。 [48] - 一个新的维基已创建： 印尼语维基导游 (
voy:id:) [49] - 上周，所有维基网站经历了持续30至45分钟的服务中断，无法顺利提供网页给已登录及部分未登录用户。此事件起因于资料库异常，调查仍在进行中。 [50]
查看上周解决的共19个社群提交工单。 例如，添加链接功能的错误现已修复。之前，在某些情况下，从添加链接功能排除的章节清单会被部分忽略。 [51][52]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 维基媒体设计系统——Codex现在有一个早期阶段的PHP实现。它可透过Composer在MediaWiki扩展与Toolforge应用程式供一般使用，并即将用于MediaWiki核心。更多详情请参阅文档。感谢Doğu的灵感以及对函式库的诸多贡献。 [53]
- Wikimedia REST API用户，如机器人操作者和工具维护者，可能会受到正在进行的升级更新的影响。12月4日，MediaWiki介面团队著手将测试维基上的页面及修订版本的metadata、渲染后的HTML内容等端点，从RESTbase重编路由至相似的MediaWiki REST API端点。团队鼓励这些端点的活跃用户在测试维基验证其工具的行为，并于年底前将任何疑虑提交至相关的Phabricator工单，团队打算于1月初在所有维基媒体项目实施相同的变更。这是取代过时的RESTBase系统的作业的一部分。
- 邀请维基媒体开发者社群填写2024年开发者满意度调查。如果您在维基媒体生态系统的软体开发中占有一角，请填写此问卷调查。调查开放填写至2025年1月3日，并请参阅相关隐私声明。
- 本周没有MediaWiki的新版本。 [54]
会议与活动
- 维基媒体基金会与维基共享资源社群的讨论系列的下一次会议将于12月12日的8:00 UTC和16:00 UTC举行。本次通话会议的主题是新媒体和新贡献者。欢迎所有维基的贡献者参加。

Please be bold and help translate this article!
The Mars ocean theory states that nearly a third of the surface of Mars was covered by an ocean of liquid water early in the planet's geologic history. This primordial ocean, dubbed Paleo-Ocean or Oceanus Borealis (/oʊˈsiːənəs ˌbɒriˈælɪs/ oh-SEE-ə-nəs BORR-ee-AL-iss), would have filled the basin Vastitas Borealis in the northern hemisphere, a region that lies 4–5 km (2.5–3 miles) below the mean planetary elevation, at a time period of approximately 4.1–3.8 billion years ago. Evidence for this ocean includes geographic features resembling ancient shorelines, and the chemical properties of the Martian soil and atmosphere

Wikimedia Apps newsletter – Fourth quarter of 2024
编辑Hello, and welcome to the app's final newsletter of 2024! In this edition, we’ll highlight the key updates and progress made during October and November 2024!
iOS Updates
Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review
In November, we released the first iteration of the Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review to users in Italy and Mexico, covering Italian, Spanish, and English Wikipedia! This experimental feature offers personalized insights based on reading, editing, and donation history for iOS app users for 2024. If this initial version is successful, we hope to improve upon it and make it available to everyone within the iOS app in January 2025. For more information on how your data is used and how to access your Year in Review, please visit the project page, or watch a short video demonstration of the feature.
The alternative text experiment concluded on November 4, and we are currently analyzing the results. The edits are being reviewed by accessibility experts and moderators active on the iOS app for additional feedback.
Preliminary results show that prompting users on an image they’ve just added leads to higher completion rates (18%) compared to unrelated images (6%). The overall revert rate for alt text edits was 3.4%, lower than the app’s average revert rate of 8.1%. We’ll decide next steps for this feature after completing the analysis.
We completed the first phase of our Navigation refresh, and released a new profile menu into the production version of the app. Our work was coordinated in this Epic: T373714
Android Updates
Private Donor Recognition Experiment
We launched an experiment in France and the Netherlands, exploring the impact of private donor recognition on current and prospective donors. Users who donated through the app will see an active badge on the contributions page, while those who haven’t donated will see a prompt to do so. The experiment will run for 20 days, after which we will evaluate the results. This work was coordinated under Epic: T376303.
The team began work on the "Rabbit Holes" experiment to increase retention among new readers. The experiment is designed to help users more easily discover and connect with content they are interested in. It is being coordinated under Epic: T378612.
The Recommended Content in Search experiment showed promising results. Personalized recommendations led to higher retention (86.5%) compared to non-personalized recommendations (64.9%), with positive feedback from users.
We added a launcher shortcut for quicker access to the "Places" feature in the app. (T375367)
Looking Ahead
As we close out 2024, we’re excited about all the progress made and the work ahead in 2025. Keep an eye out for more updates and improvements we hope will enhance your Wikipedia experience!
Thank you for being part of this journey, and don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter for the latest updates!
