New features

• You can now see a legend on Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist that explains the symbols used. [1]
• If your wiki is testing the new search tool ("CirrusSearch"), you can now test it by adding "New search" in your Beta features preferences. [2]

VisualEditor

• The toolbar is now simpler; all text styles (bold, italics, underline, subscript, etc.) are in the same menu, and the "More" menu is called "Insert". [3]
• You can now use a basic tool to add special characters to your text. You can add more characters (useful in your language) by editing the MediaWiki interface on translatewiki.net.

Problems

• The log-in system for external tools ("OAuth") was broken on wikis that tested the new search tool. It was fixed last week. [6] [7]
• Because of a bug, this newsletter is delivered to users using the new MediaWiki message delivery, and to community pages using the old EdwardsBot. [8]

Future

• MediaWiki 1.23wmf7 was added to test wikis on December 12. It will be added to non-Wikipedia wikis on December 17 and all Wikipedia wikis on December 19 (calendar).
• You will soon be able to select the language of SVG images that have translations using a drop-down menu on the image page. (see example) [9]
• GLAMToolset, a tool to help GLAM groups (like museums) upload many pictures to Commons, will be added to Commons on December 17. [10]
• A Draft namespace will be added to the English Wikipedia to make it easier to create new pages. You will be able to use VisualEditor for drafts if you have enabled it. [11] [12]

Hej Asger,

Vedr. teksten om Lyoness, så er jeg lidt i tvivl om, hvorfor den ikke er godkendt. Det er en kendt sag, at Lyoness har været omtalt i operation X og jeg mener at der mangler en side omkring dette på den danske Wikipedia.

Der er desuden også tilsvarende sider på andre sprog - bl.a. den engelske, som jeg har taget udgangspunkt i: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyoness (Skrev Bengaard (diskussion • bidrag) 9. jan 2014, 20:02. Husk at signere dine indlæg.)

Hejsa Bengaard. Tak for din besked.

Virksomheden er muligvis notabel nok. Nu ved jeg ikke, om du har noget med virksomheden at gøre, men artiklen bærer præg af at være reklamerende i f.eks. afsnittet om medlemsfordele. Det er reklamerende og hører ikke rigtig til i et leksikon (encyklopædi) at fortælle ved hvert køb foretaget hos en loyalitetspartner vil op til 2% af indkøbsbeløbet blive tilskrevet ens personlige kontantkonto. Det er i en avisannonce sådan f.eks. vil høre hjemme. I øvrigt styrker indtrykket af uneutralitet også ved at rigtig mange kilder til firmaets egne hjemmesider.

Prøv at læs hvad Wikipedia ikke er, og hvis du har noget med firmaet at gøre normen vedr. selvbiografier

77.75.167.246 forsætter med at vandalisere

77.75.167.246 har gentagne gange bidraget med hærværk, som efterfølgende er fjernet. Du satte en advarsel på hjemmesiden i august 2013, men nu fortsætter 77.75.167.246 sit hærværk. Måske var det en ide at blokere endegyldigt. venlig hilsen Rmir2 (diskussion) 12. jan 2014, 12:52 (CET)

Det kan jeg se, men det er kun administratorer, som kan blokere. Jeg er kun patruljant. Desuden skal man være varsom med at bandlyse IP-adresser, da de kan skifte ejere. Mvh Asger (henvendelse) 12. jan 2014, 12:54 (CET)
