I agree with ChristianKl rather than Taylor here.

Mentioning a few related tasks that solve the same set of issues:
T150601 Add option to generate new set of scratch codes
T242031 Allow multiple different 2FA devices

Nevermind, looks like it's been fixed via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_rowlett.

I see that the badges have been created but my attempt to add the badge to a sitelink to a redirect was rejected. What is the status of this task?

Thanks @Ladsgroup . @borogovia do you need access to the archives?

Looks like it, thank you @Cyberpower678 and everyone else on the IABot team :)
@Dabao_qian and @Liuxinyu970226 - 麻煩望望新版 bot 有否出錯。

I'd very much welcome this proposal: copy all of the existing zh-yue.wp
into a new database called yuewiki / yue.wikipedia.org . Once we decide on
a plan I should be able to help iron out the issues from the front-end.

This has recently been brought up again at the Cantonese Wikipedia. (discussion here)

This was discussed at today's Wikipedia Weekly episode where one can watch Fuzheado and Keilana struggle with editing coronavirus statistics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NryHemUKQos

That's the finest bit of grammatical pedantry I have ever observed on
Phabricator lol

But it did, and it left a message saying it fixed it -
https://zh-yue.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:土木工程

Thank you @matmarex . Yes I'm aware that the effort to fix T103635 will
likely fix this as well. The academically interesting observation, that
adding the colon only works when creating a link without highlighting text
first, is perhaps useful for the developers and also outside the scope of
T103635, so I started a new thread about this behaviour.

Chipping in: I agree that we should use "unlink" icon rather than "rubbish
bin" icon for removing a hyperlink.

There's a Wikimania 2019 submission about Lexemes, by @Fnielsen : https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Languages/Wikidata_lexemes

I'll be interested in participating in this small wiki toolkit hackathon. At the Cantonese Wikipedia we've been trying to build bots to generate league tables of best contributors and automate some routine maintenance, and it'll be nice to see whether other wikis have done similar things so we don't repeat ourselves.

Hi all. I think we do need a central discussion thread to make design decisions for Mobile VE, and I don't mind continuing here.

I tested these on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Android 8.0.0. Chrome and
Samsung Browser gave the same behaviour.

Yep, it works now, thank you!

Ah, I'm very sorry. No I wasn't using the beta app. I'll wait till the
proper roll-out and test again.

No this has not been fixed: e.g.
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q133525&diff=prev&oldid=894115718

Thanks. I take your word for it that editing a section on the same page
will be *faster* than loading the section editor on a fresh screen. The
design intent is to reduce client load by putting as little of the page as
practical in edit mode.

@ppelberg / @Whatamidoing-WMF : Sorry for the British understatement. By "fine" and "alright" in (1) VE-Gboard interaction, (2) formatting and linking, and (3) Citoid, I meant that all features I tried behaved as expected, and to my satisfaction.

A few thoughts so far.

@Whatamidoing-WMF : Deryck here. Am up for trying it myself and inviting other Cantonese Wikipedia editors to take part. What should I do?

Hello @deryckchan, and thanks for creating this task!
We're actually considering this for the year to come, but before starting developping anything, we need to understand better what people would like to do with the data, how they would like to display it on their wiki, what kind of Lua functions they would need.
If you already have some ideas, or use cases, feel free to share :)

Please, please, please don't ever rename yuewiktionary to zh_yuewiktionary.
It is zh_yuewiki that should be renamed yuewiki, not the other way round
(T30441)

Actually there is already a separator: a spacebar.

The spelling variant ambiguity caused a knock-on problem: a number of property proposals for phonetic transcriptions (for languages whose orthography doesn't give much information about pronunciation, e.g. Chinese) have been rejected with reasons along the lines of "they should be spelling variants". Some clarity is needed on this.

@Tgr: Can you please confirm what the latest state of affairs is? Has
unblock-self been removed from all WMF wikis? Are blocked sysops allowed to
block the sysop who blocked them, as of now?

There's a parallel discussion about this on the Wikitech-Ambassadors mailing list, where an interesting idea was raised:

@deryckchan FYI, Twitter allows for TOTP via their own app as well as via a TOTP app as we use. They don't seem to have a limit on how many devices (I wonder if all devices use the same code actually....). There are no scratch tokens either. Phone and/or email verification required for account recovery.

Depending on the specifics of "reauthentication", this may be a duplicate of T203256.

Hi. Just adding a comment to say that the geonotice maintainers on the English Wikipedia also use wp-world to produce a map of existing geonotices.

Thanks James, that sounds reasonable. I think Ryan's proposal is a fine
solution - we can allow sections to be edited while freezing references
that are reused elsewhere on the page, preventing them from being deleted.

Currently the main blocker (although it may not be a hard blocker) is parsing support for managing state that is page-level (mainly for reference management). @dchan is exploring doing some of the subtree editing business on the client side as something of a stop-gap solution. The Parsing team's work on server-side ref management will probably be a better long-term solution (see T146072). They are hoping to have that work wrapped before the end of 2018. Anything to add @ssastry, @dchan, @DLynch, @Esanders?

Great. It looks like the bot hasn't edited anything since last week's tests
though? Is it supposed to start scanning mainspace pages for dead links to
fix?

WikiLove is now turned on. I'm marking this as resolved. Thanks everyone for the work.

Please change it to

Agree - the language tag on Wikidata should be made to align with ISO 639 even where the siteID doesn't.

I've given it autopatrolled + confirmed flags for 24 hours and it managed to save the pages. I think the test worked. @shinjiman - I think this bot is good to go.

I did a small batch run with a few featured and formerly featured articles:

Okay :) That page currently says "Sorry, but the language you have picked is not available yet." I'll try again when the bot deployment is complete.

That's the UI language. The bot is available there. You might as well set the UI to English, not to be confused with the English Wikipedia.

You can actually make the changes yourself by going to https://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot/index.php?page=wikiconfig&wiki=zh_yuewiki if you're a sysop on that wiki.

FYI the wiki code of yours is zh_yuewiki.

I agree with the comments above that until a separate machine translation engine is available for Cantonese, it can be useful to display a machine translation from a non-Sinosphere language to Modern Standard Written Chinese (MSWC) when the target language is Cantonese. This is because Cantonese and Mandarin share the vast majority of technical vocabulary; the lexical similarity rises when one considers MSWC which actually incorporates significant amounts of Cantonese vocabulary. In addition, the fact that most existing machine translation engines don't distinguish between the different kinds of Chinese languages means that the machine translations themselves are somewhat influenced by Cantonese anyway (being treated as a subset of Chinese rather than a standalone language).

I don't think it's formally approved yet, though I don't expect any
opposition.

Okay. Here are all the answers for the translations and questions earlier in this thread:

@Cyberpower678 Will you please explain how these messages get used:

If there's no way to fix the internationalized format now then please change the format into ISO date format as a temporary fix. There's currently no way for me to tell which day a date value actually represent without trying to edit it and see the calendar pop up.

Most wikis have retained the built-in MediaWiki feature where trailing
brackets are stripped when a page is saved:

The issue seems to be in pywikibot class wikidatabot.create_item_for_page , which takes a page (from a pagegenerator) and auto-creates an item for it.

Same problem here.

@Mvolz Which templates' templatedata did you copy from enwiki? I think there are 4 (or 5?) templates and only a subset of them got copied, but I lost track...
