[Wikimedia-l] "New filters for edit review" Beta feature release
Hello! (Sorry for cross posting if you were already subscribing on wikitech-ambassadors.) *TL;DR* Today (March 28) 13:00 UTC, the New filters for edit review <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review> beta option will be released on the Portuguese and Polish Wikipedias, and also on Mediawikiwiki. This beta option adds an improved filtering interface and powerful filtering and other tools to the Recent Changes page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges> (and Recent Changes Linked <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChangesLinked>). On wikis where the machine-learning service ORES is enabled <https://meta.wikipedia.org/Wiki/ORES>, the project introduces two filter groups—Contribution Quality and User Intent—that offer probabilistic predictions about, respectively, whether or not edits are likely to contain problems and whether the users who made them were acting in good faith. *What is this new feature?* This feature improves Special:RecentChanges <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges> and Special: RecentChangesLinked <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:RecentChangesLinked> by adding new useful features that will ease vandalism tracking and support of newcomers: - *Filtering <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Filtering>* - filter recent changes with easy-to-use and powerful filters combinations. - *Highlighting* <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Highlighting_function> - add a colored background to the different changes you are monitoring, to quickly identify the ones that matter to you. - *Quality and Intent Filters* <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Quality_and_Intent_Filters> - user ORES predictions to identify real vandalism or good faith intent contributions that need assistance. You can watch a video <https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ANew-feature_demo%E2%80%94smart_Recent_Changes_filtering_with_ORES.webm> which explains the principle of filtering and highlighting, based on the prototype. *What will happen?* At the moment, the ORES beta feature is available in Beta preferences <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures> on certain wikis. For those wikis, when the deployment will be done: - Users who have enabled the ORES beta feature will then use the New filters for Recent Changes Beta feature (no action needed, unless if you want to opt-out). - ORES predictions highlighting <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/ORES_review_tool> will be activated by default for all users (not in Beta anymore). - ORES redirections are symbolized by a "r" red (in English at least) in the RecentChanges pages for all users, like minor edits or not autopatrolled edits. - Users who want to change the accuracy level of ORES predictions will be able to do so in their preferences <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal> . - Users who want to change or hide the ORES predictions tags will be able to do so in their personal stylesheets <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/FAQ> (via CSS). If your wiki doesn't have ORES predictions highlighting <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/ORES_review_tool>, the filters will work anyway. However, the predictions filters will not be available until the process to enable ORES predictions is completed for your wiki. The deployment is not scheduled <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158335>at the moment for wikis without ORES predictions but will happen soon -- however, MediaWiki wiki is deployed today, as the first of them. *How to prepare this change?* You can discover the purpose of this project by visiting the quick tour help page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Quick_tour> . Also, please check the documentation <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review> (and help to translate it). Please also have a look at the translations of the interface on translatewiki.net. The messages are prefixed as rcfilters-and ores-rcfilters-. The next phase <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158332> is the deployment of the new filters (as a Beta) on Persian, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Czech Wikipedias and Wikidata, scheduled for April 11. I've already contacted these communities. The feedback page is open <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Edit_Review_Improvements/New_filters_for_edit_review> to your comments. Please ping me if you have any questions. On behalf of the Collaborati

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Monthly skill share idea
Have you checked about similar initiatives from other chapters or user groups? I've heard that Wikimédia France ou Wikimedia Deutschland host similar workshops, both in their offices or inside of local groups. They may have some feedback to share.

[Wikimedia-l] Important: Server switch on October 27
[Sorry for cross-posting] Read this message in another language <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server_switch_2020> • Please help translate to your language <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate=page-Tech%2FServer+switch+2020=en=page=> The Wikimedia Foundation <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/> tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one datacenter to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems. They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on *Tuesday, October 27 2020*. Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:What_is_MediaWiki%3F>, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future. *You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.* - You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, October 27. The test will start at 14:00 UTC <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1603807200> (14:00 WET, 15:00 CET, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 03:00 NZDT on Wednesday October 28). - If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case. *Other effects*: - Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped. - There will be code freezes for the week of October 26, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen. This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Switch_Datacenter#Schedule_for_2020_switch>. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. *Please share this information with your community.* -- Benoît Evellin - Trizek (he/him) Community Relations Specialist Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
