Getting a message to Catalan Wikipedia with Flow
Hi Quim, I'm trying to copy Grants:IEG/Motivational and educational video to introduce Wikimedia/January message to village pumps/ca to the Tavern on Catalan Wikipedia. However, the Tavern uses Flow, and when I try to copy the wikitext into Flow the formatting gets messed up. Do you know enough about how Flow works to copy the message with the formatting intact? I would appreciate it if you could do this as a favor, preferably with your volunteer Wikimedia account. Thank you, --Pine✉ 22:08, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Pine: it seems that Flow cannot properly digest the Gallery format. See phab:T124876. QuimGil can help completing the Catalan translation at this test page. He wonders whether a table would work to obtain the same effect with the images.--Qgil-WMF (talk) 11:16, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking and filing the bug. I tried copying this code to the test page, minus the nowiki tags:
{| class="wikitable"
![[File:Ciak.jpg|200px]]
![[File:Wikipedia,_an_introduction_-_Erasmus_Prize_2015.webm|thumbtime=00:36.00|200px]]
![[File:WikipediaEducationProgramLogo.svg|200px]]
![[File:GLAM_logo_transparent.png|200px]]
![[File:VisualEditor-logo.svg|200px]]
|}
and received the error "invalid token" when saving. --Pine✉ 00:31, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
I did some additional testing:
- Attempting to remove the images from the test page, without adding the new table, also results in an "invalid token" message
- Attempting to save a new message to the Tavern, using the table-formatted images instead of the gallery, also results in an "invalid token" message
- I would test creating a new page in Flow without the images if I knew where to do that. I tried creating a new page in my user space on Catalan Wikipedia but it uses wikitext instead of Flow. Can you point me to a place where I can test creating a new page using Flow?
Apologies that this has become a test of Flow capability instead of a straightforward translation. --Pine✉ 00:42, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Pine: No worries, I like testing and I like to help improving Flow. :) w:ca:Viquipèdia_Discussió:Flow/proves is a page dedicated to Flow testing. Feel free to use it at will.--Qgil-WMF (talk) 07:28, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- Qgil-WMF I tried adding a new subject to that page with plain text like "test message" in the title and the body, and I still got an "invalid token" error. However, I successfully added a test message at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:MediaWiki. Any ideas why I would be getting "invalid token" errors on Catalan Wikipedia and not MediaWiki? --Pine✉ 21:57, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Pine: I'm sorry, no idea. Works for me... :/ Maybe cache something, signout/signin...?--Qgil-WMF (talk) 22:12, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- Good news and bad news. The good news is that after editing a non-Flow page, I was able to edit that Flow board. The bad news is that Flow is pasting wikimarkup text from my clipboard as objects onto the Flow board that aren't editable, and when I tried to replace one of the objects with wikimarkup the message got messed up. Flow seems to need some work. :( In the meantime, can you think of a way to get a message to the Catalan Village Pump? --Pine✉ 22:23, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

2016 Community Wishlist Survey
Hi,
You’re getting this message because you participated in the 2015 Community Wishlist Survey and we want to make sure you don't miss it this year – or at least can make the conscious choice to ignore if it you want to. The 2015 survey decided what the Community Tech team should work on during 2016. It was also the focus of Wikimedia hackathons and work by other developers. You can see the status of wishes from the 2015 wishlist at 2015 Community Wishlist Survey/Results.
The 2016 Community Wishlist Survey is now open for wishes. You can create proposals until November 20. You will be able to vote on which wishes you think are best or most important between November 28 and December 12. /Johan (WMF) (talk) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:17, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
