Sadads added a comment to T351717: Improve language switching on MediaSearch.

I work and train people that are frequently working in multiple languages, and I get the impression that folks who do not have English are unlikely to discover the language change if it stays behind the registration wall. Moreover, multilingual users have very few hints that different language interfaces for the search, change the outcome of the search (i.e. using a spanish language term in the English search doesn't leverage structured data to also include other language terms, whereas using the English language term would).

Sadads added a comment to T301406: Ability to categorise wikistories.

I am really worried about this feature -- reader-empowered flagging of content always creates a backlog that overwhelms editing communities and destroys the balance of priorities for the community's backlogs : if you aren't signed in and participating as an editor and are empowered to create "feedback" without experience in the community's curation process the quality of the feedback is almost always poor.

Sadads updated subscribers of T96147: [Epic] ContentTranslation - Lists of articles to translate.

@Amire80 I am currently doing list-building research with @SGill around how to best build lists for Campaigns -- there is a larger need in the movement to have what I would describe as a "reusable worklist". Something that can be generated in both manual and semi-automated list building (i.e. we prototyped something like this at T187305 and https://tools.wmflabs.org/worklist-tool) -- that can then be integrated into both on-wiki and offwiki pages, and be portable so that if you want to use the same list for Event Metrics Education-Program-Dashboard or something like ListeriaBot, where its printed out into other pages.

Hi @LMiranda and @Astinson / @Sadads

At the moment I am not quite able to start on any part of the request. I think everything will be more clear to me in our meeting next week.
Just wanted to comment on the above and to clarify/summarize my assumptions.

  1. Slide deck
    • you will create it the slides
    • I polish them and add graphics that you will require (and let me know more details)
  2. Meta Page
    • you will create the page
    • I upload graphics to Commons
  3. Translating design materials
    • you will provide the editable files (e.g. .ai or .eps for vector graphics)
    • I will either paste graphics in the Google Docs report document

I also noticed that you marked Blog in the task description. What deliverable is that referenced to?

Sadads added a comment to T225976: Movement Organizer Design Updates and Assets for Wikimania .

Hi @hdothiduc I'm so sorry no, I had not seen these earlier messages. I'm also looping in Alex @Sadads as he will be leading the Wikimania presentation.

I have a couple of clarifying questions:
So by "design assets for Wikimania" you mean a slide presentation (like Google Slides) and the Meta Page?

  • correct. We need a polished slide deck and graphics for the meta page.

For the most part, we will need to take existing graphics, and transform them into decks -- I don't think this is going to need too much design -- actually with the version of the report that we got via the other designer.

What should be on the Meta Page?

  • Likely a couple of key graphics that the other designer is working on for the report, we will want to repurpose some of these to create learning objects out of them. @Sadads what else?

I think we may want to publish some of the tables as extracted individual documents/graphics (as opposed to part of a deep PDF). We may want to extract them from the

Do you already have the text that you will say during the presentation? Do you have more context on the event at Wikimania where you will present?

  • We have the draft from the exec presentation but that will be iterated for the public presentation. Alex may have more to say on this.

So we haven't been confirmed on the Wikimania presentation -- but it will be some of the narrative from the Exec presentation plus some specifics targeted for the Wikimedia community.

Theoretically, this could be done rather robustly per @Mvolz , once we start sharing structured metadata described per T68108 . @Lydia_Pintscher & the Wikidata team probably will have a better sense if that is tangible -- but if they think structured data on commons is likely in the next year or two, I would not rush into building the Dark Archive, because semi-automatic function are much easier at that point.

Sadads added a comment to T123529: Add support for hashtags (URL parameter -> edit summary) in VisualEditor, WikiEditor, and ?? other editors.
  1. apply the above to any other edit I make during the same browser session

every edit? what about user talk page edits? or what if I go home and start editing other stuff, how do I clear this persistent auto-hashtag?

Thats a good engineering design question -- I think you would have to be able to remove a hashtag once from an edit summary and it not appear again-- we also might want a time limit on the persistence of the tag within someones browser. For most use cases for a "campaign hashtag", you are mostly working with editors that only participate in a particular window of time and/or around the event and/or campaign.

Another possibility would be to pre-fill the tag the first time (when the cause-effect connection is clear after landing into editing from a campaign-related link), and make it easy for users to add the tag themselves on upcoming edits. If we provide a tag selector that surfaces recent tags, a user may just need to type "#" and hit enter to select the most recent tag (probably about the campaign they are participating in).

In this way, the user discovers the tag the first time and we make it easy to use repeatedly when needed (both in terms of adding it quickly, and not requiring to recall the exact tag name). This approach eliminates the risk of forgetting to remove the tag when it is not appropriate, but introduces the risk of the user to forgetting adding it.

Sadads added a comment to T95702: Be able to use the auto-cite tool to insert a citation template outside of a reference.

+1 to @ManosHacker 's strategy on this: the only real use cases are in bulleted or in number lists.

Sadads updated subscribers of T120788: Tool to use Google OCRs in Indic language Wikisource.

@kaldari & @Niharika Currently OCR uses external tools to do on depend on Tesseract OCR (see the list of languages at https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata) , when the HOCR text is not available in the object itself (PDFs and/or DJVUs will carry HOCR text with them if available). https://wikisource.org/wiki/MediaWiki:OCR.js .

As a followup to the comment on T132088#2360795 -- @Catrope we talked to @Quiddity and @jmatazzoni about creating a notification to help encourage folks to get Wikipedia Library access. Do you have a sense of when this could get done?

Sadads added a project to T137148: Provide a way for interactive maps to be embedded externally: GLAM-Tech.

@Multichill yes theoretically any map, but really the stuff that we have a whole lot of data for (paintings for instance, cultural heritage). The idea would be to find some way for the map or graph created by a volunteer, of educational value, out into other websites, theoretically, also with the added value of Wikidata queries or snapshots from Wikidata queries.
