The_RedBurn added a comment to T331600: "Reference" text has gone from the Insert Reference button with Visual Editor at Basque Wikipedia.

The A/B test could measure:

  • the percentage of edits with reference added
  • the time elapsed between last text user input and a click on the reference button

The_RedBurn added a comment to T331600: "Reference" text has gone from the Insert Reference button with Visual Editor at Basque Wikipedia.

Do you mean the icon of Visual Editor?
If so, I'm still not used to it after almost 10 years, and I'm wondering if much users prefer a quote icon to a reference icon.
I mean, even the toolbar here uses that quote icon to... quote:

Screenshot 2023-03-24 at 14-55-52 ⚓ T331600 Reference text has gone from the Insert Reference button with Visual Editor at Basque Wikipedia.png (82×772 px, 7 KB)

Maybe a poll could be created?

Same problem here.
As an experienced editor using it for almost 10 years, I didn't recognize the Cite button and was initially looking for it.

The_RedBurn added a comment to T319127: Use Leaflet-like progressive zoom animation.

On OpenStreetMap, the map is enlarged or shrunk first instead of just being replaced by the next zoom level tile.
Here's an example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=8/9.920/-84.155 (or https://leafletjs.com/examples/zoom-levels/example-setzoom.html)

The_RedBurn added a comment to T167788: [Task] Dates written as 9/7/2017 should not always be parsed as American MM/DD/YYYY.

I'm afraid there is no way any parser can ever be sure what "9/7/2017" means. Even if we use your IP address or location (something we should never do because of privacy reasons), or the interface language from your preferences, it might still either mean MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY. The only thing we can (and want to) use is the date format from your personal preferences at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering. See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/153211.

There are a few other countries in the same time zones...

Those time zones are defined by country, not by hour differential, so that's not a problem.

So far as I am aware, the system only cares about offset from UTC. So no, it is a problem.

Based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country, apart from two English speaking islands, the United States is the only country to interpret 07/09/2017 as MM/DD/YYYY.
So for languages other than English, DD/MM/YYYY seems to be the norm.

The_RedBurn added a comment to T176956: Add a class to empty TemplateData fields titles (dt).

In :fr, we'd like to use TemplateData as parameters documentation to keep the documentation synchronized with TemplateData. There's already some styling in place (example), but these empty fields take space without adding anything useful.
