Tech News: 2021-27

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News

• The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 19 July.

Recent changes

• AutoWikiBrowser is a tool to make repetitive tasks easier. It now uses JSON. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage has moved to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON and Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Config. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version has moved to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/VersionJSON. The tool will eventually be configured on the wiki so that you don't have to wait until the new version to add templates or regular expression fixes. [1]

Problems

• InternetArchiveBot helps saving online sources on some wikis. It adds them to Wayback Machine and links to them there. This is so they don't disappear if the page that was linked to is removed. It currently has a problem with linking to the wrong date when it moves pages from archive.is to web.archive.org. [2]

Changes later this week

• The tool to find, add and remove templates will be updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It will come to the first wikis on 7 July. It will come to more wikis later this year. [3][4]
• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

• Some Wikimedia wikis use Flagged Revisions or pending changes. It hides edits from new and unregistered accounts for readers until they have been patrolled. The auto review action in Flagged Revisions will no longer be logged. All old logs of auto-review will be removed. This is because it creates a lot of logs that are not very useful. [5]

Wikisource Satisfaction Survey 2021

Hallo!

Apologies for writing in English. Help met het vertalen naar uw taal

In the past year, there has been a lot of changes to Wikisource features and tools. This was done by the Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation, grantees funded by the Foundation or through projects like Google Summer of Code. We would like to understand what you feel about the changes. Tell us what you think about such tools as the Wikisource Pagelist Widget or the new Ebook Export tool.

Take the survey in English, French, Spanish, Polish, Hindi or Punjabi. The deadline is 25th July 2021.

This survey will be conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement (English, Spanish, French, Polish, Hindi and Punjabi).

If you prefer to send your answers via email, copy the text of the survey and send to sgill@wikimedia.org.

If you have any questions or feedback about the survey, write to me at sgill@wikimedia.org.

Bedankt! SGill (WMF) 17 jul 2021 00:30 (CEST)

Tech News: 2021-29

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The tool to find, add and remove templates was updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It was supposed to come to the first wikis on 7 July. It was delayed to 12 July instead. It will come to more wikis later this year. [6][7]
• Special:UnconnectedPages lists pages that are not connected to Wikidata. This helps you find pages that can be connected to Wikidata items. Some pages should not be connected to Wikidata. You can use the magic word __EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ on pages that should not be listed on the special page. [8]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 July. It will be on all wikis from 22 July (calendar).

Future changes

• How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will soon change. This can affect bots, gadgets, user scripts and extensions. You can read more. You can test it on Testwiki or Testwiki 2.
• The parameters for how you obtain tokens in the MediaWiki API were changed in 2014. The old way will no longer work from 1 September. Scripts, bots and tools that use the parameters from before the 2014 change need to be updated. You can read more.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• A new version of MediaWiki came to the Wikimedia wikis the week before last week. This was not in Tech News because there was no newsletter that week.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 July. It will be on all wikis from 29 July (calendar).

Future changes

• If you use the Monobook skin you can choose to switch off responsive design on mobile. This will now work for more skins. If ⧼monobook-responsive-label⧽ is unticked you need to also untick the new preference Responsieve modus inschakelen. Otherwise it will stop working. Interface admins can automate this process on your wiki. You can read more.

(Nl) Wikisource in het "nieuws"

De presentatie van (Satdeep Gill en) Wilma en mij tijdens de GLAM Wikimediatraining voor Suriname en het Caribisch gebied op 11 juni is te zien in de GLAM Newsletter van juni 2021. Als ik tijd heb, ga ik het nog eens terugkijken! --Dick Bos (overleg) 2 aug 2021 07:29 (CEST)

Tech News: 2021-31

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• If your wiki uses markup like <div class="mw-content-ltr"> or <div class="mw-content-rtl"> without the required dir attribute, then these will no longer work in 2 weeks. There is a short-term fix that can be added to your local wiki's Common.css page, which is explained at T287701. From now on, all usages should include the full attributes, for example: <div class="mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr" lang="en"> or <div class="mw-content-rtl" dir="rtl" lang="he">. This also applies to some other HTML tags, such as span or code. You can find existing examples on your wiki that need to be updated, using the instructions at T287701.
• Reminder: Wikimedia has migrated to the Libera Chat IRC network, from the old Freenode network. Local documentation should be updated.

Problems

• Last week, all wikis had slow access or no access for 30 minutes. There was a problem with generating dynamic lists of articles on the Russian Wikinews, due to the bulk import of 200,000+ new articles over 3 days, which led to database problems. The problematic feature has been disabled on that wiki and developers are discussing if it can be fixed properly. [9][10]

Changes later this week

• When adding links to a page using VisualEditor or the 2017 wikitext editor, disambiguation pages will now only appear at the bottom of search results. This is because users do not often want to link to disambiguation pages. [11]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 August. It will be on all wikis from 5 August (calendar).

Future changes

• The team of the Wikipedia app for Android is working on communication in the app. The developers are working on how to talk to other editors and get notifications. You can read more. They are looking for users who want to test the plans. Any editor who has an Android phone and is willing to download the app can do this.
• The Beta Feature for Overleghulpmiddelen will be updated in the coming weeks. You will be able to subscribe to individual sections on a talk page at more wikis. You can test this now by adding ?dtenable=1 to the end of the talk page's URL (example).

Tech News: 2021-32

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• You can read but not edit 17 wikis for a few minutes on 10 August. This is planned at 05:00 UTC. This is because of work on the database. [12]

Changes later this week

• The Wikimania Hackathon will take place remotely on 13 August, starting at 5:00 UTC, for 24 hours. You can participate in many ways. You can still propose projects and sessions.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 August. It will be on all wikis from 12 August (calendar).
• The old CSS <div class="visualClear"></div> will not be supported after 12 August. Instead, templates and pages should use <div style="clear:both;"></div>. Please help to replace any existing uses on your wiki. There are global-search links available at T287962.

Future changes

• The Wikipedia Library is a place for Wikipedia editors to get access to sources. There is an extension which has a new function to tell users when they can take part in it. It will use notifications. It will start pinging the first users in September. It will ping more users later. [13]
• Vue.js will be the JavaScript framework for MediaWiki in the future. [14]

Tech News: 2021-33

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can add language links in the sidebar in the new Vector skin again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet. [15]

Problems

• There was a problem on wikis which use the Translate extension. Translations were not updated or were replaced with the English text. The problems have been fixed. [16][17][18]

Changes later this week

• A revision tag will soon be added to edits that add links to disambiguation pages. This is because these links are usually added by accident. The tag will allow editors to easily find the broken links and fix them. If your wiki does not like this feature, it can be hidden. [19]
• Would you like to help improve the information about tools? Would you like to attend or help organize a small virtual meetup for your community to discuss the list of tools? Please get in touch on the Toolhub Quality Signal Sessions talk page. We are also looking for feedback from tool maintainers on some specific questions.
• In the past, edits to any page in your user talk space ignored your mute list, e.g. sub-pages. Starting this week, this is only true for edits to your talk page. [20]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 August. It will be on all wikis from 19 August (calendar).

Update on the OCR Improvements

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. Help met het vertalen naar uw taal.

The OCR Improvements are complete. We, the Community Tech team, are grateful for your feedback from the beginning to the last stage when we were finalizing the interface.

Engine improvements

Reliability

Prior to our work, the OCR tools were separate gadgets. We have added "Wikimedia OCR." It is available under one icon inside the toolbar on all Wikisource wikis. This tool supports two other OCR tools, Tesseract and Google OCR. We expect these tools to be more stable. We will maintain Wikimedia OCR.

The gadgets will remain available. The communities will have sovereignty over when to enable or disable these.

Speed

Prior to this work, transcription would take upwards of 40 seconds. Our improvements average a transcription time under 4 seconds.

Advanced Tools improvements

Multiple-language support

Documents with multiple languages can be transcribed in a new way.

1. Open the Advanced Options
2. Select the Languages (optional) field
3. Search for and enter the languages in order of prevalence in the document.

Cropping tool / Multi-column support

We have included a Cropper tool. It allows to select regions to transcribe on pages with complicated layouts.

Discoverability and accessibility of OCR

We have added an interface for new users. It is pulsating blue dots over the new icon in the toolbar. The new interface explains what OCR means and what transcription means in Wikisource.

We believe that you will do even more great things because of these changes. We also hope to see you at the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. Thanks you again for all your opinions and support.

Please share your opinions on the project talk page!

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end

Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the Elections Committee completes their review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.

6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the election.

Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees election will be even better.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The wikis that have Growth features deployed have been part of A/B testing since deployment, in which some newcomers did not receive the new features. Now, all of the newcomers on 21 of the smallest of those wikis will be receiving the features. [23]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

• In 2017, the provided jQuery library was upgraded from version 1 to 3, with a compatibility layer. The migration will soon finish, to make the site load faster for everyone. If you maintain a gadget or user script, check if you have any JQMIGRATE errors and fix them, or they will break. [24][25]
• Last year, the Portuguese Wikipedia community embarked on an experiment to make log-in compulsory for editing.  The impact report of this trial is ready. Moving forward, the Anti-Harassment Tools team is looking for projects that are willing to experiment with restricting IP editing on their wiki for a short-term experiment. Learn more.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January

Hallo allemaal,

We hopen dat het met jullie allemaal goed gaat in deze moeilijke tijden. We wilden wat nieuws delen over een wijziging in de community verlanglijst enquête 2022. We willen ook graag jouw mening horen!

Samenvatting:

In januari 2022 houden wij de enquête naar de community verlanglijst 2022. We hebben meer tijd nodig om aan de wensen voor 2021 te werken. We hebben ook tijd nodig om enkele wijzigingen in de wensenlijst 2022 voor te bereiden. Ondertussen kun je op een speciale ideeënbus vroege ideeën voor de wensen voor 2022 achterlaten.

Voorstel en wensvervulling zullen in hetzelfde jaar plaatsvinden

In het verleden heeft het Community Tech-team in november van het voorafgaande jaar de enquête naar de community verlanglijst voor het daarop volgende jaar gehouden. We hebben bijvoorbeeld de verlanglijst voor 2021 in november 2020 uitgevoerd. Dat werkte een paar jaar geleden goed. In die tijd begonnen we met het werken aan de verlanglijst kort nadat de resultaten van de stemming waren gepubliceerd.

In 2021 zat er echter een vertraging tussen de stemming en het moment waarop we aan de nieuwe wensen konden gaan werken. Tot juli 2021 werkten we aan wensen uit de verlanglijst voor 2020.

We hopen dat het houden van de enquête naar de community verlanglijst 2022 in januari 2022 beter uit te leggen zal zijn. Dit geeft ons ook de tijd om meer wensen uit de verlanglijst 2021 te vervullen.

Bredere deelname aanmoedigen van historisch uitgesloten gemeenschappen

We denken erover na hoe we de verlanglijst gemakkelijker kunnen maken om aan deel te nemen. We willen meer vertalingen ondersteunen en gemeenschappen met weinig middelen aanmoedigen om actiever te zijn. We willen graag wat tijd hebben om deze wijzigingen door te voeren.

Een nieuwe gelegenheid om met ons te praten over prioriteiten en wensen die nog niet zijn ingewilligd

We hebben 365 dagen niet naar een verlanglijst gevraagd, maar aarzel niet ons te benaderen. We hopen van je te horen op de overlegpagina, maar we hopen je ook te zien op onze tweemaandelijkse Talk to Us-bijeenkomsten! Deze zullen worden gehost op twee verschillende tijdstippen, verspreid over de verschillende tijdzones wereldwijd.

We beginnen onze eerste bijeenkomst op 15 september om 23:00 UTC. Binnenkort meer informatie over de agenda en de indeling!

Brainstorm en conceptvoorstellen vóór de voorstelfase

Als je al vroeg ideeën hebt voor wensen, kun je de nieuwe ideëenbus voor de inventarisatie naar de community verlanglijst gebruiken. Zo vergeet je ze niet in de tussentijd tot januari 2022. Je kunt ook terugkomen en je ideeën verfijnen. Onthoud wel dat bewerkingen in de ideëenbus niet tellen als wensen!

Feedback

• Wat moeten we doen om de verlanglijstpagina's te verbeteren?
• Hoe zou je onze nieuwe ideëenbus willen gebruiken?
• Welke risico's voorzie jij in onze beslissing om de datum van de verlanglijst 2022 te wijzigen?
• Hoe kunnen we ervoor zorgen dat meer mensen deelnemen aan de enquête naar de community verlanglijst 2022?

Antwoord op de overlegpagina (in elke gewenste taal) of tijdens onze Talk to Us-bijeenkomsten.

Dit bericht in een andere taal lezen • Help met het vertalen naar uw taal

De Wikimedia Foundation gaat het schakelen tussen haar eerste en tweede datacenter testen. Dit zal er voor zorgen dat Wikipedia en andere Wikimedia wiki's zelfs na een ramp beschikbaar blijven. Om er zeker van te zijn dat alles goed werkt, zal de Wikimedia-afdeling Technologie gaan testen of er betrouwbaar tussen de datacentra gewisseld kan worden. Veel teams moeten voorbereid en beschikbaar zijn om enige onverwachte problemen op te lossen.

Zij zullen al het internetverkeer terug naar het eerste datacentrum sturen op dinsdag 15 september 2021.

Vanwege beperkingen in MediaWiki is het echter wel nodig om de wiki's tijdelijk op alleen-lezen te zetten. We verontschuldigen ons voor deze maatregel, en we zullen proberen om de impact in de toekomst te verminderen.

U zult in staat zijn om artikelen te lezen, maar niet te bewerken voor een korte periode. Dit geldt voor alle wiki's.

• U zult maximaal een uur lang niet in staat zijn bewerkingen te doen op dinsdag 14 september. De test zal beginnen om 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST en in Nieuw-Zeeland om 02:00 NZST op woensdag 15 september).
• Bij bewerken of opslaan zult u een foutmelding zien. Wij hopen dat er geen bewerkingen verloren gaan, maar hier zijn wij niet zeker van. Wanneer u deze foutmelding ziet, wacht u alstublieft tot alles weer normaal is. Dan kunt u uw bewerking opslaan. Toch raden we het ten zeerste aan dat u een kopie van uw bewerkingen maakt.

Andere effecten:

• Het uitvoeren van achtergrondtaken zal langzamer gaan, en sommige taken kunnen ook worden geannuleerd. Roodgekleurde koppelingen zullen niet zo snel bijgewerkt worden als gebruikelijk. Als u een artikel aanmaakt waar ergens anders al naar verwezen wordt, zal de koppeling langer roodgekleurd blijven dan gebruikelijk. Sommige langlopende scripts zullen moeten worden onderbroken.
• We verwachten dat de uitrol van nieuwe code gebeurt zoals iedere week gebeurt. Het kan echter voorkomen dat codewijzigingen per geval geblokkeerd kunnen worden als de operatie ze later nodig heeft.

Dit project wordt zo nodig uitgesteld. U kunt de planning lezen op wikitech.wikimedia.org. Wijzigingen worden in de planning aangekondigd. Er zullen hierover nog meer notificaties worden verstuurd. Er zal een melding worden weergegeven op alle wiki's, 30 minuten voordat de wissel zal plaats vinden. Deel deze informatie alstublieft met uw gemeenschap.

Pagina verwijderen: De vlaschaard (boek uit 1907)

Hoi, per ongeluk deze gemaakt, aangepast naar De vlaschaard, bovenstaande mag verwijderd worden. Hamaryns (overleg) 16 sep 2021 11:39 (CEST)

Hallo Hamaryns, Welkom terug op Wikisource. Dat zal ik doen. Je schrijft alleen dat dit boek publiek domein is. Maar baseer je dat precies op? De schrijver overleed in 1969, dus minder dan 70 jaar geleden. Mvg, Vincent Steenberg (overleg) 16 sep 2021 18:45 (CEST)

Je hebt gelijk, het is dus bij een sjabloonpagina gebleven. Ik heb de rechthebbende aangeschreven, maar hij heeft geen toestemming gegeven voor publicatie. Wel gek dat het wel gewoon op de DBNL staat. Hamaryns (overleg) 5 okt 2021 14:48 (CEST)

Tech News: 2021-38

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Growth features are now deployed to almost all Wikipedias. For the majority of small Wikipedias, the features are only available for experienced users, to test the features and configure them. Features will be available for newcomers starting on 20 September 2021.
• MediaWiki had a feature that would highlight local links to short articles in a different style. Each user could pick the size at which "stubs" would be highlighted. This feature was very bad for performance, and following a consultation, has been removed. [32]
• A technical change was made to the MonoBook skin to allow for easier maintenance and upkeep. This has resulted in some minor changes to HTML that make MonoBook's HTML consistent with other skins. Efforts have been made to minimize the impact on editors, but please ping Jon (WMF) on wiki or in phabricator if any problems are reported.

Problems

• There was a problem with search last week. Many search requests did not work for 2 hours because of an accidental restart of the search servers. [33]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 September. It will be on all wikis from 23 September (calendar).
• The meta=proofreadpage API has changed. The piprop parameter has been renamed to prpiprop. API users should update their code to avoid unrecognized parameter warnings. Pywikibot users should upgrade to 6.6.0. [34]

Future changes

• The Reply tool will be deployed to the remaining wikis in the coming weeks. It is currently part of "Overleghulpmiddelen" in Beta features at most wikis. You will be able to turn it off in Editing Preferences. [35]
• The previously announced change to how you obtain tokens from the API has been delayed to September 21 because of an incompatibility with Pywikibot. Bot operators using Pywikibot can follow T291202 for progress on a fix, and should plan to upgrade to 6.6.1 when it is released.

Tech News: 2021-39

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• iOS 15 has a new function called Private Relay (Apple website). This can hide the user's IP when they use Safari browser. This is like using a VPN in that we see another IP address instead. It is opt-in and only for those who pay extra for iCloud. It will come to Safari users on OSX later. There is a technical discussion about what this means for the Wikimedia wikis.

Problems

• Some gadgets and user-scripts add items to the portlets (article tools) part of the skin. A recent change to the HTML may have made those links a different font-size. This can be fixed by adding the CSS class .vector-menu-dropdown-noicon. [36]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 September. It will be on all wikis from 30 September (calendar).
• The GettingStarted extension was built in 2013, and provides an onboarding process for new account holders in a few versions of Wikipedia. However, the recently developed Growth features provide a better onboarding experience. Since the vast majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features, GettingStarted will be deactivated starting on 4 October. [37]
• A small number of users will not be able to connect to the Wikimedia wikis after 30 September. This is because an old root certificate will no longer work. They will also have problems with many other websites. Users who have updated their software in the last five years are unlikely to have problems. Users in Europe, Africa and Asia are less likely to have immediate problems even if their software is too old. You can read more.
• You can receive notifications when someone leaves a comment on user talk page or mentions you in a talk page comment. Clicking the notification link will now bring you to the comment and highlight it. Previously, doing so brought you to the top of the section that contained the comment. You can find more information in T282029.

Future changes

• The Reply tool will be deployed to the remaining wikis in the coming weeks. It is currently part of "Overleghulpmiddelen" in Beta features at most wikis. You will be able to turn it off in Editing Preferences. See the list of wikis. [38]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them has been enabled for the following 10 wikis: mediawiki.org, the Italian, Catalan, Hebrew and Vietnamese Wikipedias, French Wikisource, and English Wikivoygage, Wikibooks, Wiktionary and Wikinews. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist on those wikis you can let the developers know.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 October. It will be on all wikis from 7 October (calendar).
• Some gadgets and bots that use the API to read the AbuseFilter log might break. The hidden property will no longer say an entry is implicit for unsuppressed log entries about suppressed edits. If your bot needs to know this, do a separate revision query. Additionally, the property will have the value false for visible entries; previously, it wasn't included in the response. [39]
• A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them will be enabled for all production wikis. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist you can let the developers know.

Future changes

• You can soon get cross-wiki notifications in the iOS Wikipedia app. You can also get notifications as push notifications. More notification updates will follow in later versions. [40]
• The JavaScript variables wgExtraSignatureNamespaces, wgLegalTitleChars, and wgIllegalFileChars will soon be removed from mw.config. These are not part of the "stable" variables available for use in wiki JavaScript. [41]
• The JavaScript variables wgCookiePrefix, wgCookieDomain, wgCookiePath, and wgCookieExpiration will soon be removed from mw.config. Scripts should instead use mw.cookie from the "mediawiki.cookie" module. [42]

Oude muziekboekjes

Dag,

Ik heb 2 oude muziekboekjes met kinderliedjes en versjes. Ik vermoed dat het publiek domein is, moet ik nog even uitzoeken. Maar voordat ik daar tijd in steek: zijn we geïnteresseerd om dat hier te publiceren? In ieder geval de tekst kan omgezet worden, in een later stadium misschien ook de muziek met passende software, maar dat ga ik voorlopig niet uitzoeken.

Het gaat om ‘De zingende kinderwereld’ uit 1907 en ‘Vonkjes’ uit 1932 of daaromtrent. Ik kan scans van titelblad (en later de rest) aanleveren, alleen weet ik nog niet goed hoe dat werkt.

Hamaryns (overleg) 5 okt 2021 14:47 (CEST)

Hallo Hamaryns,

Ja die zijn zeker welkom. Er staan al veel (kinder)liedjes op WS, maar vaak zonder bronvermelding, of nog erger "uit het hoofd". Zie bijvoorbeeld Twee violen en een trommel en een fluit. Deze zijn dus niet echt bruikbaar. Dus een hele bundel is zeker welkom. Hopelijk kan dat een aantal van die unsourced liedjes vervangen.

Het eerste lijkt geschreven te zijn door Jan Goeverneur (overl. 1889) en dus rechtenvrij. Het tweede boekje kan ik nergens vinden. Staat de auteur erop vermeld?

Als het nodig is kan ik van de scans een pdf maken.

Mvg, Vincent Steenberg (overleg) 5 okt 2021 18:05 (CEST)

Leuk plan! Als ik kan helpen, geef maar een seintje! --Dick Bos (overleg) 7 okt 2021 19:02 (CEST)

Ter informatie

Hallo, Ter informatie, ik heb een vraag gesteld aan de helpdesk van nl.wikipedia over het aanpassen van de Hoofdpagina van nl.wikisource, zodat deze in de mobiele weergave beter wordt weergegeven. Mvg, Vincent Steenberg (overleg) 11 okt 2021 12:10 (CEST)

Controleverzoek

Beste collega's,
Ik heb zojuist het proeflezen van het boek Index:Dominee, pastoor of rabbi.pdf voltooid en ik vroeg me af of iemand het zou willen controleren, dat zou ik heel erg waarderen! Als dat voltooid is, zou iemand me dan ook kunnen uitleggen hoe transclusie werkt? Dat heb ik namelijk nog niet eerder gedaan. Als dat allemaal gedaan is, wil ik dit boek vertalen naar het Engels op en.wikisource. Met vriendelijke groet, Nederlandse Leeuw (overleg) 24 okt 2021 14:54 (CEST)

Beste Nederlandse Leeuw, Ja, ik zag dat je er de afgelopen dagen druk mee in de weer bent geweest. Een interessante tekst. Ik heb het even doorgelopen, maar volgens mij is er iets mis gegaan met de PDF. Het vooromslag lijkt dubbel te zijn (zie Pagina:Dominee, pastoor of rabbi.pdf/1-2 en Pagina:Dominee, pastoor of rabbi.pdf/3-4). En na de titelpagina (Pagina:Dominee, pastoor of rabbi.pdf/5 = pagina 1) lijkt een witpagina (= pagina 2) te ontbreken. Deze versie op google boeken lijkt de paginavolgorde wel correct weer te geven. Sorry voor het slechte nieuws, maar je wil toch dat het correct wordt weergegeven. Mvg, Vincent Steenberg (overleg) 24 okt 2021 15:38 (CEST)

Ha beste Vincent, bedankt voor je antwoord! Tja, ik heb gewoon alles overgenomen zoals het in de databank van Geheugen van Nederland op delpher.nl is weergegeven. Je zou best gelijk kunnen hebben, zoals ik al opmerkte in bewerkingssamenvattingen zijn er een pagina's aan het begin dubbel en wellicht was er oorspronkelijk inderdaad nog een witpagina tussen. Is het de moeite waard om dat nog te wijzigen en zo ja, hoe? Inhoudelijk/tekstueel zou er namelijk verder niks aan veranderen. Mvg, Nederlandse Leeuw (overleg) 24 okt 2021 15:45 (CEST)

PS: Wat ik belangrijker vind is het feit dat ik voor de proeflezing gebruik gemaakt heb van een transcript van de 1e editie, terwijl de scans van de 2e editie zijn (vermoedelijk enkele weken of maanden later gemaakt; beide versies stammen uit 1890). Er zijn enkele tekstuele verschillen tussen de 1e en 2e editie; ik heb het transcript zo veel als mogelijk aangepast aan de scans, maar het kan zijn dat er nog discrepanties tussen beide voorkomen die ik heb gemist. Dat vind ik belangrijker dan of er enkele beginpagina's dubbel zijn. Mvg, Nederlandse Leeuw (overleg) 24 okt 2021 15:51 (CEST)

Dat is prima. Je kunt er inderdaad ook voor kiezen de dubbele pagina's te negeren en de witpagina meerekenen in de pagelist. Ik zal er zo even naar kijken. Vincent Steenberg (overleg) 24 okt 2021 16:10 (CEST)

Ik heb de eerste 8 pagina's gecontroleerd. Ik wou je vragen of je vanaf Pagina:Dominee, pastoor of rabbi.pdf/9 het boek eerst zelf wil proeflezen, want dat is zo te zien niet gebeurd. Mvg, Vincent Steenberg (overleg) 24 okt 2021 18:33 (CEST)

Bedankt voor dit begin! Je hebt gelijk, ik zal het zelf dan eerst nog een keer van kaft tot kaft nalezen. Ik zie kleine discrepanties die nog gefixt moeten worden. Mvg, Nederlandse Leeuw (overleg) 24 okt 2021 19:48 (CEST)

Bedankt. Twee paar ogen zien meer dan één. Ik volg t.z.t. met een controle. Vincent Steenberg (overleg) 24 okt 2021 20:10 (CEST)

Fijn! Het valt me overigens op dat de verschillen tussen de 1e en 2e opgave meestal miniem zijn en vaak interpunctie of spellingsvariaties betreffen die niet per se 'correcties' zijn. Sommige wel, zoals 'dan' ipv 'als' in een vergelijking (dat kan komen omdat ten Bokkel in Overijssel is geboren, waar men ook nu nog in dialecten vaak 'als' gebruikt ipv het West-Nederlandse en ABN 'dan'). Op andere plekken wordt ineens een komma weggelaten waar die een goede functie vervulde. Sommige woorden zoals pleizier en plezier worden inconsistent gespeld en de 2e uitgave verandert daar niets aan. Of een 'wij' verandert in een 'we' of een 'zij' in een 'ze'. Mvg, Nederlandse Leeuw (overleg) 25 okt 2021 13:13 (CEST)

Bedankt dat je al zo ver bent gevorderd, Vincent! Ik had een korte vraag: ik zie dat je kopteksten toevoegt (o.a. met paginanummers), wat ik op en.wikisource ook heb, maar ik kan die in de nl.wikisource editor niet zien en ook niet tevoorschijn halen. Heb alles al geprobeerd via voorkeuren, maar ik krijg de koptekst nergens te zien. Kun jij me uitleggen hoe dat werkt? Mvg, Nederlandse Leeuw (overleg) 5 nov 2021 17:01 (CET)

Wat bedoel je precies met de "nl.wikisource editor"? Bedoel je het eindresultaat? B.v. <pages index="Dominee, pastoor of rabbi.pdf" from="1" to="53"/>. In dat geval wordt dat deel verborgen via de "noinclude"-tag. Mvg, Vincent Steenberg (overleg) 5 nov 2021 17:57 (CET)

Beste Nederlandse Leeuw, ik heb de laatste pagina gevalideerd. Ik heb op Gebruiker:Vincent Steenberg/Zandbak een opzet gemaakt voor publicatie. Deze pagina is ongeveer 133.187 bytes groot. Dat is een beetje aan de grote kant, maar het kan volgens mij net. Indien gewenst kan het bestand in (hoofd)stukken worden gehakt. Mvg, Vincent Steenberg (overleg) 11 nov 2021 19:48 (CET)
