View it! Tool
View it! Tool update Oct. 2022


Thank you for signing up for View it! updates!

As a reminder, you can view details about how to install the View it! user script or use the Toolforge tool on our meta page. Please use the talk page there to contact the team!

October Update

[edit]

September/October Happenings

  • View it! is now multilingual! We are currently working on tool localization. Please consider helping us!
  • View it! now has advanced search option on Toolforge, simply toggle on to enable searching with a different property constraint, free text, specific resolution, and quality assessment.
  • Advanced search allows for searching by Commons Categories which have an associated P373.
    • Commons Category search will also show sub-categories for more specific results.

Coming Soon

  • We are releasing a new version of View it! that will implement some of the Toolforge functionality into the on-Wiki experience.
  • We are thinking about ways for View it! results to show up on page as an image grid, gallery or other form, without leaving the page. Please let us know what your idea/preference is.
  • Integrating editor features such as the ability to add an image from View it! or remove a faulty statement.

Action to take

  • Share your thoughts with us about the interface! What would you like the final product to look like? Should it be on-wiki? Preference on location of the button/link? We are open to ideas - please share them with us.
  • Install Beta script and see how it can used to add new images to articles.
  • All editors are invited to share the tool with their local wiki communities, or incorporate it into relevant local templates, such as infoboxes. If you do so, please let us know about it, so we can ensure backwards compatibility for that use case as we continue development!

Queering Wikipedia 2023 conference

[edit]

Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group and the organizing team of Queering Wikipedia is delivering the Queering Wikipedia 2023 Conference for LGBT+ Wikimedians and allies, as a hybrid, bilingual and trans-local event. It is online on 12, 14 and 17 May, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia #IDAHOBIT, with offline events at around 10 locations on 5 continents in the 5-day span as QW2023 Nodes.

The online program is delivered as a series of keynotes, panels, presentations, workshops, lightning talks and creative interventions, starting on Friday noon (UTC) with the first keynote of Dr Nishant Shah entitled: I spy, with my little AI — Wikiway as a means to disrupt the ‘dirty queer’ impulses of emergent AI platforms. Second keynote is at Sunday’s closure by Esra’a Al Shafei, Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees vice chair, entitled: Digital Public Spaces for Queer Communities.

If you have been an active Wikimedian or enthusiast, supporting LGBT+ activities or if you identify as part of the larger LGBT+ community and allies in Wikimedia, please join us in advancing this thematic work. We encourage you to join online or in person with fellow Wikimedians if it is easy and safe to do so. Our working languages are English and Spanish, with possible local language support at sites of Nodes.

Registration for the online event is free and is open until Wednesday May 10th at 18:00 UTC, for safety protocol. Late event registration approval and event access denial is at the discretion of organizers.

More information, and registration details, may be found on Meta at QW2023

Art+Feminism: Feb 15 online edit-a-thon campaign launch and upcoming conversations

[edit]
Art+Feminism Virtual Tables campaign illustration

We have some exciting events coming up that we’d love to share with you!

At Art+Feminism, we believe that as feminist editors, our strength is in collective action. When we edit together, we share resources, knowledge, and skills; in doing so, we form a defense against harassment within the Wikiverse and beyond. Alongside our initiatives to close diversity gaps and create a safer Wikipedia, Art+Feminism remains committed to doing our part. This year that includes creating more virtual spaces for us to connect with one another, share knowledge, and edit together.

To start, join Art+Feminism and Wiki Editoras Lx on 15 February to discuss and practice strategies for collective editing. This event kicks off our series of virtual editing tables for our Year 11 campaign. You can see our full schedule here and register today.

We’ll also be hosting two special conversations: Online & On the Ground: Abortion Activism in Maryland and Collective Imagination + Radical Futures: Kansas City Organizers on Making Art & Building Power. These online events are open to all and we hope to see you there!

If you’d like to join the campaign by hosting your own A+F event but haven’t yet, it’s not too late! You can view our campaign resources here and send us an email to let us know you’re joining.

International Museum Day 2024

[edit]

Header stuff on all the sub-pages appears similar. I'd suggest moving it to a template, so you would have a centralised translation for it available instead of having it marked for translation at six different page and it seems too boring and redundant. You can create a template, and then translcude it on all of the sub-page and the main page as well. ─ Aafī (talk) 17:39, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dear @Aafi, thank you so much for marking the pages for translation. I really appreciate that. It's such an immense help! About your suggestion, that's a great idea! And I actually did exactly that with the OpenRefine pages as per another user's suggestion as well. However, for the IMD pages, there are small differences in the phrases, related to each specific challenge -- sometimes just one or two words -- and we would like to maintain those, if that's ok. But again, thank you so much for this! This is awesome! -- GFontenelle (WMF) (talk) 17:53, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@GFontenelle (WMF): Thank you. I don't find any difference, particularly, in the part surrounded by terms: "Wikimedia & ICOM, Translation challenge, Media challenge, Data challenge, Participate, Main page" - this part is quite similar on all the pages or am I missing anything? ─ Aafī (talk) 18:02, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Aafi, I see what you mean! I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you suggested at first. Yes, you're correct. I've created a header and add it to the pages: Template:International Museum Day 2024/Header. I hope this facilitates the translation work. Thank you so much! -- GFontenelle (WMF) (talk) 18:41, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, of course. It does help. I have marked the template for translation and will see other pages whenever I feel free. Let me know if you need my assistance with anything else. Best, ─ Aafī (talk) 19:04, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much, @Aafi, for marking the template, pages, and for the availability. I truly appreciate this. Have a great day! Best, -- GFontenelle (WMF) (talk) 20:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
