Mehr cat content!

Hi Aristeas!

Da Du wahrscheinlich Katzen magst, wäre das vielleicht was für Deine Favoritengalerie: Der Fotograf Henry Söderlund fotografiert für seine Kamera- und Objektivtests immer mal wieder eine Katze. Darunter sind aus meiner Sicht mehrere gelungene Fotos dabei. "Cat Henry Söderlund" sollte in der Suche die Fotos zeigen. Viel Spaß beim Angucken und Grüße! :) 🐈 --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 19:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Yawning example

Hallo PantheraLeo1359531, lieben Dank für Deine Nachricht – und sorry für die späte Antwort, ich war very busy in real life. Ich habe immer mal wieder einige Fotos von Henry Söderlund importiert, die Photoequipment zeigen, und auch ein paar seiner Beispielfotos. Dass Du nun systematisch seine Katzenfotos importiert hast, ist eine gute Idee. Sicher wird der eine oder die andere herummotzen, dass das Internet und auch Commons schon viel zuviele Katzenfotos hätte – aber die allermeisten davon sind ja qualitativ nicht gerade großartig, sodass sich der Import von Henrys meist sehr guten Fotos wirklich lohnt. (Übrigens hat er auch das Glück, dass seine Katze sich offensichtlich gerne fotografieren lässt – unsere Fellnasen hier kann ich meist nur schlafend ablichten, da sie offenbar keine Lust haben, in die Kamera zu schauen. :–) Vielen herzlichen Dank also für das Importieren und Beschriften der Fotos – und herzliche Grüße! --Aristeas (talk) 13:34, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Ja, ist völlig verständlich! Kurz vor Weihnachten ist noch mal eine Riesen Hektik :). Du hast Recht, einerseits sind seine Katzenfotos in guter Qualität, und man bekommt einen Einblick in die Auflösung der Kameras/Objektive. Bisschen spielt er ja auch, bspw. mit unscharfem Vordergrund oder wo die ganze in Form eines Catloaf sitzt. Aber wir brauchen ausreichend viele Katzenfotos :D. Man muss ja auch bedenken, dass Commons etliche Katzenfotos aus den 2000ern hat. Die Qualität war damals nicht sehr berauschend, und die meisten hatten ja so Kompaktkameras... Liebe Grüße, und frohe Weihnachten und guten Rutsch! Ich hoffe, du kannst bei den Feiertagen etwas zur Ruhe kommen :D --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 18:32, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Danke! Ja, das hoffe ich auch. Auch Dir alles Gute und eine schöne Weihnachtszeit – Roman / --Aristeas (talk) 18:45, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Du erhältst einen Orden!

	Der Fleißorden
	Für deine tollen Bilder und deine Arbeiten im Kategoriesystem. -- Triple C 85 | User talk | 11:28, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Ich gratuliere, wohl verdient! --Kritzolina (talk) 16:01, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Hallo Triple C 85 und Kritzolina, vielen herzlichen Dank für den Orden ;–) und die Nachricht! Es tut mir leid, dass ich Euch erst so spät antworte, ich war very busy in real life (bzw. hatte die Handwerker im Haus). Lieber Triple C 85, ich fühle mich natürlich sehr geehrt. Den Orden für Arbeit im Kategoriesystem hast natürlich v.a. Du selbst verdient, da Du ja wirklich unermüdlich daran arbeitest – allergrößten Dank also auch dafür! Und Kritzolina, auch Du verdienst zweifellos einen Orden für Deine unermüdlichen Fotobeiträge – ich habe gerade einen Blick auf Deine letzten Uploads geworfen und bin (nur als Beispiel) wirklich beeindruckt, was für einen umfassenden und detaillierten Eindruck Deine Aufnahmen von Bad Waldsee geben. Euch beiden ganz herzliche Grüße und alles Gute für die Weihnachtszeit – --Aristeas (talk) 14:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Auch verdient ;-) -- Triple C 85 ^{| User talk |} 20:49, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Tech News

• The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2024 because of the holidays.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 December. It will be on all wikis from 21 December (calendar). There is no new MediaWiki version next week. [7][8]
• Starting December 18, it won't be possible to activate Structured Discussions on a user's own talk page using the Beta feature. The Beta feature option remains available for users who want to deactivate Structured Discussions. This is part of Structured Discussions' deprecation work. [9]
• There will be full support for redirects in the Module namespace. The "Move Page" feature will leave an appropriate redirect behind, and such redirects will be appropriately recognized by the software (e.g. hidden from Special:UnconnectedPages). There will also be support for manual redirects. [10]

Future changes

• The MediaWiki JavaScript documentation is moving to a new format. During the move, you can read the old docs using version 1.41. Feedback about the new site is welcome on the project talk page.
• The Wishathon is a new initiative that encourages collaboration across the Wikimedia community to develop solutions for wishes collected through the Community Wishlist Survey. The first community Wishathon will take place from 15–17 March.

Have you spotted the tiny motion blur on the wagging tail? :-) I met this dog and its owner in Uddevalla, as I was going home from a checkup before the operation. I have no problem (or manners) when it comes to asking dog or cat owners to take pictures. I thought it would make a perfect Christmas card. --Cart (talk) 17:13, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Season's Greetings

		🌟 Happy Holidays, Aristeas! 🌟
		The turn of the year is approaching and with it the time for reflection. Let's take a moment and reflect a little. It is a time of festivals of light, from Hanukkah to Yule to Christmas, and in many cultures and religions it is a time of holidays, sometimes also family celebrations. And let's not forget that, according to our calendar, the new year is just around the corner.

File:Boyd's forest dragon FP nomination

Hi. The alt version has passed the 10 positive hurdle for 5-day promotion, but the original is probably blocking promotion. Is there anything one can do, please, like withdrawing the first image? Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:39, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Charlesjsharp, I think the best thing we can do is closing the nomination manually. I will try this right now … Best, --Aristeas (talk) 11:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp: I am sorry but I was told that this was wrong, so I had to revert my edit, the nomination is open again. The rule of the 5th day is never applied to nominations with an alternative version, because in theory the version with the worse score could make up the deficit. Sorry for the confusion. This also means that there is no chance to close this nomination earlier, we have to wait the complete 9 days. --Aristeas (talk) 16:14, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-03

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

• Pages that use the JSON contentmodel will now use tabs instead of spaces for auto-indentation. This will significantly reduce the page size. [14]
• Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the requiresES6 option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future. [15]
• Bot passwords and owner-only OAuth consumers can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages. [16]
• You can now thank edits made by bots. [17]
• An update on the status of the Community Wishlist Survey for 2024 has been published. Please read and give your feedback.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar). [18][19]
• Starting on January 17, it will not be possible to login to Wikimedia wikis from some specific old versions of the Chrome browser (versions 51–66, released between 2016 and 2018). Additionally, users of iOS 12, or Safari on Mac OS 10.14, may need to login to each wiki separately. [20]
• The jquery.cookie module was deprecated and replaced with the mediawiki.cookie module last year. A script has now been run to replace any remaining uses, and this week the temporary alias will be removed. [21]

Future changes

• Wikimedia Deutschland is working to make reusing references easier. They are looking for people who are interested in participating in individual video calls for user research in January and February.
