Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wiki-research-l] Video demos of upcoming changes to edit review / RC patrol

[Nick Wilson (Quiddity)]

Hi Kerry,
The short answer is yes! the Collaboration Team is working now to extend
the new user interface so that it includes all the existing features on the
Recent Changes page, Watchlist and a few related pages—along with some new
tools users are requesting. We’re doing user testing right now of this
extended functionality (which includes things like Namespace filters, Tag
filters, User filters and, possibly, a Category filter).
When we have it all working the way it should, we plan to bring the new UI
and tools to Watchlist. This should happen in the next few months.

However, it is also already possible to add a "On [my] watchlist" filter or
highlight, to the results on the recent changes page.
E.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1=1=1=watched
or
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1=1=1=watched

Further details are in the main documentation at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Edit_Review_Improvements
and pages linked in the side-navbox.

Feedback appreciated at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Edit_Review_Improvements/New_filters_for_edit_review

Cheers,

[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Wikimedia Deutschland: Annual Report 2016

[Nicole Ebber]

Hi all,

We have recently published our Annual Report 2016. If you would like
to learn more about examples of Wikimedia Deutschland's projects and
programmes from last year, you might want to read about one or more of
the following:

* our new editors campaign,
* our successes with Wikidata,
* our Technical Wishes project,
* our achievements in the political and legal field,
* our work for Open Education & Open Science
* our growth in membership numbers
* our regionalisation efforts
* our work for the international movement

Inspired by the WMF's recent Annual Reports, we have – for the first
time – created a visually appealing, responsive online version that
also works pretty well on mobile. https://2016.wikimedia.de/en

If you rather prefer to print it, please be patient: We will publish
the oldschool PDF version and link it on the meta [[Reports]] page
next week.

Happy reading,
Nicole

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Katherine Maher is making me happy this week

[Tanweer Morshed]

Thank you Micru for bringing the talk of Katherine in the mailing list, I
probably wouldn't have watched it if you didn't post it here.

I'd like to thank Katherine for the charismatic presentation at University
of Melbourne, depicting the essence of the Wikimedia movement in the
perspective of our times. We value your leadership in the movement and your
effort to highlight the goodness of millions of Wikimedians across the
world. This isn't very common that we acknowledge the positivity and
contribution of people around us, which we should do more to encourage and
assure them that they are doing great, thus uplifting the energy within
them. Thank you Katherine!

Regards,
Tanweer
