Some species endemic to Luxembourg

Hello! First I want to say that I love this Wikipedia, it seems to be quite informative and qualitative.

I'm from the Russian Wikipedia. Now we're holding the Weekly contest, this time it's dedicated to Belgium and Luxembourg. Especially for this project I created some articles about plants and animals (mainly them) which was found only in Luxembourg and nowhere else (so-called endemics). I just believe it could be interesting for local readers. Can you create some articles below for the Luxembourgish Wikipedia?

Taraxacum leucosquameum - ru:Taraxacum leucosquameum - flowering plant
Superodontella euro - ru:Superodontella euro - arthropod
Eosentomon luxembourgense - ru:Eosentomon luxembourgense - arthropod
Eosentomon umbrosum - ru:Eosentomon umbrosum - arthropod
Eosentomon paucrum - ru:Eosentomon paucrum - arthropod
Eosentomon pastorale - ru:Eosentomon pastorale - arthropod
Eosentomon weinerae - ru:Eosentomon weinerae - arthropod
Hymenaphorura arantiana - ru:Hymenaphorura arantiana - arthropod
Kalaphorura ludzaki - ru:Kalaphorura ludzaki - arthropod
Pseudorthocladius cristagus - ru:Pseudorthocladius cristagus - arthropod (insect)
Orchesella hoffmanni - ru:Orchesella hoffmanni - arthropod
Orchesella erpeldingae - ru:Orchesella erpeldingae - arthropod
Protaphorura eichhorni - ru:Protaphorura eichhorni - arthropod
Micropsectra calcifontis - ru:Micropsectra calcifontis - arthropod (insect)
Micropsectra robusta - nl:Micropsectra robusta - Insect. I didn't create an article about it for ru.wiki because of lack of information, but maybe it could be enough here?..

Regardless of your response, thank you for attention. :) Regards, --Adriano Morelli (Diskussioun) 16:22, 10. Okt. 2014 (UTC)[äntweren]

Wow, I'm impressed! Not only that there is more than a dozen of endemic species in a country with seemless borders (i.e. not an island, or a hidden valley or anything) but also that they have an article on WP ru: ! I hope the natural scientists amongst our contributors will have a look at your proposal! Greetings, --Zinneke (Diskussioun) 19:26, 10. Okt. 2014 (UTC)[äntweren]

Nom Mee 2015 hunn ech Zäit, fir mech op déi Lëscht ze knéien. Virdrun ass dat méi schwiereg. --Jamcelsus (Diskussioun) 15:29, 3. Jan. 2015 (UTC)[äntweren]

Flott! 'T leeft net fort. Ech loossen de Message hei einfach emol stoen, als diskret Erënnerung (oder Iddi fir soss een, domat unzefänken). --Zinneke (Diskussioun) 16:30, 5. Jan. 2015 (UTC)[äntweren]

Merci un de Jamcelsus an de Wolverène (an anerer), domat hätte mer dat Gedéiesch all an der Këscht! --Zinneke (Diskussioun) 09:41, 14. Mee 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)

This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:

Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.

There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:

Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).

Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.

This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?

We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.

Sincerely,

Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data center in Dallas. 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 conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center 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 to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 19 April 2017. On Wednesday, 3 May 2017, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches. 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 approximately 20 to 30 minutes on Wednesday, 19 April and Wednesday, 3 May. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 20 April and Thursday 4 May).
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 weeks of 17 April 2017 and 1 May 2017. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

Wikidata description editing in the Wikipedia Android app

Wikidata description editing is a new experiment being rolled out on the Wikipedia app for Android. While this primarily impacts Wikidata, the changes are also addressing a concern about the mobile versions of Wikipedia, so that mobile users will be able to edit directly the descriptions shown under the title of the page and in the search results.

We began by rolling out this feature several weeks ago to a pilot group of Wikipedias (Russian, Hebrew, and Catalan), and have seen very positive results including numerous quality contributions in the form of new and updated descriptions, and a low rate of vandalism.

We are now ready for the next phase of rolling out this feature, which is to enable it in a few days for all Wikipedias except the top ten by usage within the app (i.e. except English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Turkish, and Chinese). We will enable the feature for those languages instead at some point in the future, as we closely monitor user engagement with our expanded set of pilot communities. As always, if have any concerns, please reach out to us on wiki at the talk page for this project or by email at reading@wikimedia.org. Thanks!

New Page previews feature

Read this message in another language • Hëlleft wgl. fir an Är Sprooch z'iwwersetzen

Hello,

The Reading web team at the Wikimedia Foundation has been working to enable Page previews, a beta feature known previously as Hovercards, as opt-in behavior for logged-in users and the default behavior for logged-out users across Wikipedia projects. Page previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. For this project, we are expecting to collect feedback over the following few weeks and tentatively enable the feature in early May, 2017.

A quick note on the implementation:

For logged-in users who are not currently testing out the beta feature, Page previews will be off by default. Users may turn them on from their user preferences page.
For logged-out users, the feature will be on by default. Users may disable it at any time by selecting the setting cog available in each preview.
For users of the Navigation popups gadget, you will not be able to turn on the Page previews feature while using navigational popups. If you would like to try out the Page preview feature, make sure to first turn Navigation popups off prior to turning Page previews on.

You can read more about the feature and the tests we used to evaluate performance, try it out by enabling it from the beta features page, and leave feedback or questions on the talk page.

Thank you, MediaWiki message delivery (Diskussioun) 16:52, 19. Abr. 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

Beta Feature Two Column Edit Conflict View

From May 9, the Two Column Edit Conflict View will be available as a beta feature on all wikis. The Two Column Edit Conflict View is a new interface for the edit conflict resolution page. It highlights differences between the editor's and the conflicting changes to make it easy to copy and paste pieces of the text and resolve the conflict. The feature fulfils a request for a more user-friendly edit conflict resolution from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well!

Editing News #1—2017

An enger anerer Sprooch liesen • Verdeelerlëscht vun dëser méisproocheger Newsletter

Wousst Dir?

Wousst dir datt Dir Är Ännerunge visuell nokucke kënnt?

Wann Dir fäerdeg sidd mam Ännere vun der Säit, tippt de Resumé vun Ärer Ännerung a sicht dann "Kuckt Är Ännerungen no" eraus.

In visual mode, you will see additions, removals, new links, and formatting highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history. You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Dir fannt Linken op d'Aarbecht déi all Woch fäerdeg gouf op der Säit vun de mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool.

Rezent Ännerungen

A new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures to enable the ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽.
A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. [1]
The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [2]
You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. [3]
The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. [4]
The Kategorien item has been moved to the top of the Optioune vun der Säit menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access. [5] Et gëtt elo och d'Funktioun "Schablounen déi op dëser Säit benotzt ginn" hei. [6]
You can now create <chem> tags (sometimes used as <ce>) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [7]
Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [8]
The Spezialzeechen menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt. [9]
A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page. This has been fixed. The team are sorry for the disruption. [10]
There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations: Control+Shift+K on a PC, or Command+Shift+K on a Mac. It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is Control+K or Command+K respectively. [11]

Zukünfteg Ännerungen

The team is working on a syntax highlighting tool. It will highlight matching pairs of <ref> tags and other types of wikitext syntax. You will be able to turn it on and off. It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017. [12]
The kind of button used to Kucken ouni ofzespäicheren, Ännerunge weisen, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors. The new buttons will use OOjs UI. The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read. The labels will remain the same. You can test the new button by editing a page and adding &ooui=1 to the end of the URL, like this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1 The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes. [13]
De vereelste Wikitext-Editeur vun 2006 gëtt méi spéit dëst Joer ewechgeholl. Et gëtt vun ongeféier 0,03% vun den aktiven Auteure benotzt. Kuckt eng Lëscht vun den Tools fir z'änneren op mediawiki.org wann Dir onsécher sidd wat Dir benotze wëllt. [14]
Wann Dir dëst net an Ärer Sprooch liese kënnt, dann hëlleft eis beim Iwwersetzen! Schreift Iech an op d'Mailinglëscht vun den Iwwersetzer oder kontaktéiert eis direkt fir datt mir Iech am viraus iwwer déi nächst Newsletter informéiere kënnen. Merci!

Prototype for editing Wikidata infoboxes on Wikipedia

Hello,

I’m sorry for writing in English. It’d be great if someone could translate this message if necessary.

One of the most requested features for Wikidata is to enable editing of Wikidata’s data directly from Wikipedia, so the editors can continue their workflow without switching websites.

The Wikidata development team has been working on a tool to achieve this goal: fill and edit the Wikipedia infoboxes with information from Wikidata, directly on Wikipedia, via the Visual Editor.

We already asked for feedback in 2015, and collected some interesting ideas which we shared with you in this thesis. Now we would like to present to you our first prototype and collect your feedback, in order to improve and continue the development of this feature.

We present this work to you very early, so we can include your feedback before and all along the development. You are the core users of this feature, so we want to make sure that it fits your needs and editing processes.

You will find the prototype, description of the features, and a demo video, on this page. Feel free to add any comment or feedback on the talk page. The page is currently not translated in every languages, but you can add your contribution by helping to translate it.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to follow all the discussions on Wikipedia, so if you want to be sure that your feedback is read, please add it on the Wikidata page, in your favorite language. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks, Lea Lacroix (WMDE)

RevisionSlider

RevisionSlider will be available as a default feature for all users on all wikis from May 17. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page so that you can easily move between revisions. The slider view is collapsed by default, and will load by clicking on it. It can also be turned off entirely in the user preferences. RevisionSlider has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia for 6 months and a beta feature on all wikis for 8 months. The feature fulfills a wish from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Thanks to everyone who tested RevisionSlider and gave valuable feedback to improve the feature! We hope that RevisionSlider will continue to serve you well in your work.

Join the next cycle of Wikimedia movement strategy discussions (underway until June 12)

Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki

The Wikimedia movement strategy core team and working groups have completed reviewing the more than 1800 thematic statements we received from the first discussion. They have identified 5 themes that were consistent across all the conversations - each with their own set of sub-themes. These are not the final themes, just an initial working draft of the core concepts.

You are invited to join the online and offline discussions taking place on these 5 themes. This round of discussions will take place between now and June 12th. You can discuss as many as you like; we ask you to participate in the ones that are most (or least) important to you.

Here are the five themes, each has a page on Meta-Wiki with more information about the theme and how to participate in that theme's discussion:

On the movement strategy portal on Meta-Wiki, you can find more information about each of these themes, their discussions, and how to participate.

New notification when a page is connected to Wikidata

Hello all,

(Hëlleft wgl. fir an Är Sprooch z'iwwersetzen)

The Wikidata development team is about to deploy a new feature on all Wikipedias. It is a new type of notification (via Echo, the notification system you see at the top right of your wiki when you are logged in), that will inform the creator of a page, when this page is connected to a Wikidata item.

You may know that Wikidata provides a centralized system for all the interwikilinks. When a new page is created, it should be connected to the corresponding Wikidata item, by modifying this Wikidata item. With this new notification, editors creating pages will be informed when another editor connects this page to Wikidata.

This feature will be deployed on May 30th on all the Wikipedias, excepting English, French and German. This feature will be disable by default for existing editors, and enabled by default for new editors.

This is the first step of the deployments, the Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects will follow in the next months.

If you have any question, suggestion, please let me know by pinging me. You can also follow and leave a comment on the Phabricator ticket.

Thanks go to Matěj Suchánek who developed this feature!

Merci! Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk)

Domat kënnen déi meeschte Leit den 1. Juli do sinn, ech proposéieren dann emol deen Datum festzehalen a mat der Diskussioun vun den Themen déi sollen diskutéiert ginn unzefänken. Als Plaz géif ech elo emol d'Juegdschlass proposéieren dat huet jo déi lescht Joren gutt gepasst. Natierlech sinn och aner Virschléi wëllkomm - mir sollten Diskussioun vun der Plaz awer an der nächster Woch ofschléissen fir datt mir reservéiere kënnen.

No weideren Datumer siche mécht net vill Sënn, dofir halen ech dem Robby seng Propose fir gutt.--MMFE (Diskussioun) 10:21, 8. Jun. 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

Kee Problem, fuert duer (Ech sinn dann d'näcxhst Kéier nees mat derbäi). --Zinneke (Diskussioun) 13:30, 8. Jun. 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

Bonjour alleguer,

Ech hunn elo fir den 1. Juli 2017 mëttes en Dësch fir 10 Leit op mäin Numm reservéiert. Ech si warscheinlech selwer eréischt fir 12:30 do.

Ech schloe vir datt mir dann elo schonn hei drënenr ufänken Sujeten ze sammelen déi mir dann den 1. Juli diskutéiere kënnen.

Salut un d'Equipe,

ech ka leider den 1. Juli net dobäi sinn, war am Spidol a koum gëschter eréischt eraus. Fille mech nach net gutt genuch fir un Diskussiounen deelzehuelen. Entschëllegt mech w.e.g. ... bei der nächster Kéier wäert et besser goen. Léif Gréiss SITCK (Diskussioun) 08:16, 29. Jun. 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

Proposen

Op Commons: Uniformisatioun vun den Nimm vun de Kategorie vun den Naturreservater zu Lëtzebuerg.

Den haitegen Zoustand: deelweis de lëtzebuergeschen Numm, de franséischen oder den engleschen. Dat wierkt zimmlech duergerneen.
Wéi et elo ass: Cat:Naturschutzgebitt Birelergronn, Cat:Réserve naturelle Haard, Cat:Nëmmeswiss, Cat:Nature reserve Saueruecht... asw.
Meng Propos, zwou Alternativen:

a) Uniformisatioun op den offiziellen, also franséischen Numm. Op Commons ass et üblech fir der 'ënneschter' Kategorie den offiziellen Numm ze ginn, och wann en an enger anerer Sprooch wéi Englesch ass.

Dat géif also ginn: Cat:Réserve naturelle Birelergronn, Cat:Réserve naturelle Haard (onverännert), Cat:Réserve naturelle Nëmmeswiss, asw.

b) Uniformisatioun op den engleschen Numm

Dat wier dann: Cat:Nature reserve Birelergronn, Cat:Nature reserve Haard, etc, Cat:Nature reserve Nëmmeswiss.

--Cayambe (Diskussioun) 12:41, 22. Jun. 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

Moien,

Op kee Fall (b), dee gëtt et jo net zu Lëtzebuerg a féiert just op eng kropeleg Iwwersetzung!

Wann et en offizielle franséischen Numm gëtt, da soll dee geholl ginn, eventuel hannendrunn, vläit a Klameren, de lëtzebuergeschen Numm.

Dës Problematik ass net nëmmen bei den Naturreserven - ech denken hei spontan un d'GeCastles...

Fir de Rescht ass et mir lo ze waarm fir weider driwwer nozedenken --Jwh (Diskussioun) 14:22, 22. Jun. 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

Nomenklaturen

Mir hunn nach ëmmer (leider) de Problem mat de Schréischrëfte bei de wëssenschaftlechen Nimm bei den Taxonen an och bei aneren. Et wier flott wann definéiert géif ginn wat a Këschte schifgeschriwwe gëtt. Dat kéint da vläicht automatiséiert ginn, sou datt keng Verbesserunge méi musse gemaach ginn. --Les Meloures (Diskussioun) 07:42, 24. Jun. 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

Ekonomie - Ecologie

Moien, ech hu gesinn datt elo iwwerall "Economie" zu "Ekonomie" geännert ginn ass. Solle mir vun elo dann och amplaz "Ecologie" léiwer "Ekologie" schreiwen? --Bdx (Diskussioun) 09:05, 21. Mee 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

Jo. De Verbesserungsprogramm leeft. --Soued031 (Diskussioun) 11:05, 21. Mee 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

Matdeelung wéi se vu Spellchecker.lu den 13. Mee 2017 ëm 18:06 op Facebook gepost gouf

Méi strikt Reegelen, méi adequat Resultater a méi Vitess

Am Oktober gouf et e gréisseren Update, bei deem d'Wierderlëscht op déi Spellchecker.lu opbaut, komplett iwwerschafft gouf. Zanterdeem gouf et ongeféier all Mount ee klengen Update bei deem "just" d'Lëscht erweidert a kleng Feeler korrigéiert goufen. Iwwer déi lescht Wochen hu mir elo den nächste gréisseren Update fäerdeggestallt. De Fokus louch op dräi Aspekter: Gréisser Konsistenz, besser Sichresultater an eng méi séier Korrektur bei ville Feeler.

Méi Konsistenz duerch eng méi strikt Applikatioun vun de Reegelen

Méi Konsistenz bedeit vereinfacht gesot, datt Wierder déi änlech kléngen, logescherweis och änlech geschriwwe ginn. Dat erlaabt et esouwuel Mammesproochler, mee och Leit déi Lëtzebuergesch als Friemsprooch léieren, sech méi einfach erëmzefannen. Dobäi hu mer déi offiziell Reegele vun 1999 an d'Recommandatioun vun duerno deelweis méi strikt applizéiert oder si marginal ofgeweecht fir zäitgeméiss ze sinn. An d'Konsistenz huet den Edson Souza Morais vill Zäit dragestach. D'Ännerunge kënnen a véier grouss Gruppen agedeelt ginn:

De Verlängerungs-H aus dem Däitsche gouf eliminéiert bei Wierder wéi "Ausnam", "Stral", a ville weideren. Déi offiziell Reegelen erlabe béid Varianten: Mat an ouni H. Den H gëtt am Lëtzebuergeschen awer net ausgeschwat a wann ee sech Wierder ukuckt wéi "Bam" oder "Kapital" déi ni en H zougelooss hunn, ass einfach ze verstoen, wisou et méi konsistent ass, just nach déi Variant ouni H zouzeloossen.
Verdueblung vum E op der betounter Silb, beispillsweis bei "Reegel", "Seegel", "trotzdeem". Dës Reegel besteet zanter 1999, gouf bis elo awer op ville Plazen net konsequent applizéiert.
Upassung vun der Schreifweis un d'lëtzebuergesch Ausschwätzweis, beispillsweis bei "Adress", "Broschür", "Tüb" (an net méi "Adresse", "Brochure", "Tube"). Och hei loossen d'Reegelen u sech déi zwou Schreifweisen zou. Den E zum Schluss gëtt awer net ausgeschwat, an irritéiert dowéinst onnéideg.
Franséisch Wierder behalen den "é" just an der Endsilb. Dëst ass eng Recommandatioun vum CPLL, déi op ville Plaze schonn applizéiert gouf. Beim Spellchecker awer nach net duerchgängeg. Hei schaffe mir aktuell dru, fir déi Reegel konsequent duerchzesetzen.

All dës Ännerunge bréngen och mat sech, dass de Liesfloss verbessert gëtt, well méi kloer ass wat gemengt ass. D'Wuert "Adresse" konnt virdru beispillsweis déi "franséisch" Schreifweis sinn, et kann awer och de Pluriel vun der "verlëtzebuergeschter" Versioun si bei där den "n" duerch d'Eifeler Reegel ewechgefall ass. De Saz "Schéck mer deng Adresse bis muer de Mëtteg." konnt een op zwou Manéieren interpretéieren. Eemol mat "Adresse" als Singulier, an eemol als Pluriel. Mat den Ännerungen déi hei driwwer beschriwwe sinn, wäert dat an Zukunft méi einfach sinn.

Méi passend a méi séier Resultater

An de successiven Updates vun de leschte Méint gouf de Spellchecker ëmmer méi feelertolerant an huet esouguer bei wëll agetippte Buschtawefolgen nach versicht e Korrekturvirschlag ze maachen:

Dat hat ufanks sënnvoll fir eis gewierkt, mee huet awer eng Rei Problemer mat sech bruecht. Ze dacks koume komplett sënnlos Virschléi eraus, an duerch déi grouss Toleranz war d'Korrektur deelweis extrem lues ginn, virun allem wa vill Feeler dra stoungen.

De Michel Weimerskirch huet dofir de System fir d'Virschléi komplett iwwerschafft. D'Sichparametere goufen ageschränkt, dofir awer eng Lëscht vun iwwer 700 heefege Feeler an de System agespeist. Duerch dës Ännerunge sinn d'Korrekturen elo nees substantiell méi séier: E Beispilltext mat ville Feeler dee mat der aler Versioun iwwer 60 Sekonne gebraucht huet gëtt mat der neier Versioun elo an zirka 7 Sekonne korrigéiert.

Ausserdeem dierften et elo manner sënnlos Virschléi ginn, an duerch statistesch Auswäertunge sinn déi méi passend Virschléi elo méi uewen an der Lëscht. Trotzdeem sollt een natierlech bei der Korrektur net ëmmer den éischte Virschlag wielen, mee matdenken, ob och wierklech dat Wuert gemengt gouf.

Déi nächst Méint

All dës Aarbechte wäerten an den nächste Woche weidergefouert gi fir d'Lëtzebuergesch Sprooch weiderzebréngen. Mir schaffen dobäi och enk mat der am November gegrënnter Wikimedia Lëtzebuerg a.s.b.l. zesummen, fir tëscht dem Spellchecker an der Lëtzebuergescher Wikipedia eng eenheetlech Schreifweis ze benotzen.

Merci fir déi wäertvoll Informatioun! Ech versichen dës Reegelen an Eis Schreifweis anzebauen. - --Sultan Edijingo (Diskussioun) 06:29, 22. Mee 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]

Ech wollt elo versichen mol dat mam Dehnungs-H ze formuléieren, mä stoussen op weider Froen: wéi ass et z. B. mat Ahnung an ahnen? Aans du schonn eppes vu menger Anung oder fänks du un eppes ze anen? Flitt do eng Dron oder eng Drohn? Huet hien elo eng Wanvirstellung a sengem Wan oder dach léiwer helle Wahn? Ass dat scho Wansinn? Huet de Päiperléck laang Füler oder dach laang Fühler? - Ass et elo en Dehnungs-H oder en Deenungs-H, deen d'Längt vum Vokal kann deenen oder méi klassesch dehnen? --Sultan Edijingo (Diskussioun) 18:59, 31.

m:Requests for comment/Global centralnotice for the blockade of the Turkish government

Hi, you are invited to participate in the discussion on the proposal to make a banner through m: centralnotice to inform more people around the world about what the Turkish government has done about Wikipedia, ie all the language versions of Wikipedia are You are obscured, so in Turkey it is impossible to view the * .wikipedia.org site. To hope that the Turkish government will remove the block, it is necessary to raise awareness of this fact around the world because it is important to succeed in this mission because Wikipedia can not be seen in Turkey. With this message also for those interested, I invite him to sign the Wikimedian appeal.

If you have any questions or questions do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks best regards. --Samuele2002 User Talk:Samuele2002 17:27, 1. Jun. 2017 (UTC)[äntweren]
