استبيان أمنيات المجتمع 2015/النتائج
أداة تقييم المقالات/الإمتداد
انشاء واجهة مستخدم سهلة الإستعمال لإضافة نماذج تقييم مشاريع الويكي إلى المقالات. قد يحتاج على الأرجح إلى صفحة إعدد "JSON" لإدراج القوالب الجاهزة. مشابه لعمل إمتداد "ويكي الحب" (الذي يضيف أوسمة إلى صفحات النقاش). Kaldari (talk) 17:30, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

تحسين بوت "كشف النسخ واللصق"
حاليا لدينا بوت يعمل على تحليل "كل" التعديلات الجديدة المضافة إلى ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية لإعتبارات حقوق التأليف والنشر، النتيجة موجودة هنا. كما يمكنه العمل أيضا على لغات أخرى.
المشكلة تتمثل في أنه لا يمكن الإعتماد عليه كما يجب. أيضا يمكن تحسين عرض الإهتمامات. أود أن أرى النتيجة تتحول إلى إمتداد وتقولب بما يشبه en:Special:NewPagesFeed
حاليا النتيجة مفعلة نوعا ما على مشروع الويكي. سيكون من الجميل إنشاء نماذج محددة على مشروع الويكي لتوضع على صفحات مشروع فردي. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:45, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

آلة ذاتية التعلم لخفض تداخلات صفحة النقاش السامة
- الإقتراح
إنشاء أداة ذكاء إصطناعي لتحديد حوادث واضحة متعلقة بالتعدي على صفحات النقاش في ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية في الوقت الحقيقي، تبنى على وظائف "en:WP" مثل البطاقات وتعديل المرشحات.
- الفوائد المتوقعة
- مرشح تعديل يمكنه تنبيه المستخدمين قبل نشر تعليقاتهم لإعادة صياغتها لتصبح مناسبة:
- تقليص عدد الرسائل المسيئة في صفحة النقاش المنشورة في الواقع.
- يمكن للمحررين التحقق من التغييرات الحديثة لتعديلات الأوسمة:
- إحضار طرف ثالث إلى صفحات النقاش حيث يواجه أحد المحررين تحرشات جنسية أو أي نوع آخر من التحرشات.
- تحسين وقت الرد وتخفيف عبئ الضحايا من ضرورة طلبهم المساعدة من أحد المدراء.
- منع تصاعد الحدة في صفحات النقاش.
- تحسين ثقافة صفحات النقاش.
- تحسين الإحتفاظ بالمحررين في الصفحات.
بعض المنقاشات السابقة المتعلقة بهذه الفكرة متوفرة على هذا الرابط
كما أوضح العضو User:Denny إلى قائمة مراسلة ويكيميديا-ل بالأمس، تم الإبلاغ عن برنامج مشابه من قبل مجتمع لعبة League of Legends على الأنترنت من أجل تحسين نوعية التعاملات الإجتماعية، مع نجاح كبير: حيث تم الإبلاغ عن أنخفاض بنسبة 40 بالمئة في حوادث العنف اللفظي.
إكتشاف أخر مثير للإهتمام من ذاك المشروع كان: "87 بالمائة من الإحتقان على الإنترنت يأتي من المواطنين المحايدين والإيجابيين الذين يمرون بيوم سيئ هنا وهناك.[...] توجب علينا تغيير تفكير هؤلاء الأشخاص حول المجتمع على الإنترنت وتغيير توقعاتهم حول ما هو مقبول." هذا الأمر ينطبق أيضا على ويكيبيديا.
مصمموا اللعبة والعلماء العاملون على هذا المشروع بدأوا بتجميع كم كبير من بيانات تفاعل أعضاء المجتمع التي أعتبرت غير مجدية (تصرف مشين، مضايقة، إساءة) ومن ثم طبقوا تعلم الآلة على هذه البيانات من أجل الحصول على رد في الوقت الحقيقي للمشاركين في نوعية تفاعلاتهم. (هم يبحثون أيضا في تحديد التصرفات الإيجابية والتعاونية.)
أرغب في رؤية إذا ما تبنت المؤسسة هذه المقاربة لمواجهة نفس المشاكل الموجودة في مجتمع ويكيبيديا. مجمل التعديلات والحذوفات و مداخلات صفحة النقاش تحت المراقبة على ويبكيديا الإنجليزية يمكن تقديمها كبيانات أولية، على سبيل المثال؛ مجتمع League of Legends يمكن للمؤسسة دعوة مخابر خارجية والمعاهد الأكاديمية للمساعدة في تحليل مجموعة البيانات هذه.
يوجد صعوبات كثيرة عند بناء نظام متطور كفاية لتجنب الأعداد غير المقبولة من الإيجابيات الكاذبة، لكن هذا تحدي مشابه لبرمجة ClueBot، ويبدو أن فريق League of Legends تمكن منه بالكامل: "ترتيب الكلمات كان أمرا سهلا، لكن كيف الحال مع اللسانيات المتقدمة مثل إذا ما كان أحد التعليقات ساخرا أو عدواني-سلببي؟ ماذا عن مفاهيم أكثر جاذبية، مثل العبارات التي تدعم حل النزاعات؟ لمعالجة الأمور الأكثر تحديا، أردنا أن نتعاون مع مخابر عالمية. قدمنا فرصة العمل على هذه البيانات وحل هذه المشاكل معنا. قفز العلماء على فرصة إحداث فرق وتتالت بعدها الإكتشافات. أصبحنا نفهم بشكل جيد التعاون بين الغرباء، وكيف يمكن للغة أن تتطور عبر الزمن والعلاقة بين العمر والسمية؛ من الغريب أنه لم نجد علاقة بين العمر والسمية في المجتمعات على الإنترنت."
بالتالي يجب تقديم مشروع ناجح من هذا النوع إلى مشاريع ويكيميديا أيضا. سيعالج مشكلا طويل الأمد تم مناقشته مرا و تكرارا على ويككيبيديا الإتجليزية، و سيضع المؤسسة في طليعة ثقافة الإنترنت. Andreas JN466 20:03, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

- Comment: This is something I mentioned to an OS during Wikimania actually. Basically, imagine a system that automatically hides suspicious edits pending OS review. Think of it like FlaggedRevs but with a more strict set of rules. Certain OSable content is fairly trivial to spot. Emails and phone numbers, social security numbers etc. follow a certain pattern detectable with a simple regex for example. AI would learn such rules. We often see same content be reposted as well. I would propose a OSed content campaign where clustered content would be hand labelled by humans (perhaps oversight users to avoid privacy concerns). Humans would go through the unsupervised clusters and label them (this one looks like a phone number so it should be hidden, that one looks ok so it doesn't need to be hidden) and we can then use this to train AI (clustering or multi class classification). AI would develop a level of confidence of "bad content" such that if the post is above a certain threshold it would be hidden until reviewed by AI. -- とある白い猫 chi? 19:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

على سبيل المثال). كانت هناك محاولات لجعل العملية آلية مع مختلف البوتات (أنظر en:WP:Link rot) لكن التشفير غير تافه و تعثرت الكثير من جهود المتطوعين. من الأرجح أن المطلوب سيكون فريقا من المبرمجين يعملون على مدار الساعة، الأمر الذي يخرج عن نطاق عمل بضع ساعات كما هو الحال بالنسبة للمتطوعين. إنه نوع من التشفير الذي سترغب ميدياويكي في رعايته و إحداث فروقات كبيرة في نوعية المحتوى الذي يؤثر في كل المقالات. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 19:27, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Also, I don't want to see perfectly good original links replaced with archive links from the reader's point of view -- this replacement should only occur if the original link is dead.

- Neutral It's a little hard to support this as long as IA maintains their policy of retroactively applying robots.txt. In the worst case, some domain is archived for years and the archive links are used, then the registration expires, the domain is scooped up by a squatter or some other company, they put up a robots.txt denying access, and boom, the existing archives for the former site under that domain are inaccessible. Or a site is bought out by some other company, and the new company redirects every URL from the old site to their existing homepage and throws up a robots.txt denying access to everything on the old site so as to prevent Google potentially penalizing it as a SEO trick, and boom, the existing archives for the old site are inaccessible. Or a site just reorganizes everything and puts up a robots.txt blocking access to the old URLs to get them out of Google searches, and boom, the archives for the old pages are inaccessible. Anomie (talk) 14:53, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- The situations you describe happen rather rarely. More commonly seen are: 1) rare cases where robots.txt is changed for "censorship" purposes (this usually means the matter is controversial and there are probably secondary sources); 2) widespread cases of domain parkers which buy hundreds of thousands of domains and block everything in their robots.txt (these are usually smaller websites, but not always; it would be interesting to see how many are used as sources on Wikimedia wikis).

For example, the Pandora service of the National Library of Australia has a far more professional and consistent archive of Australian content than IA does, but it is done on a 'permission' basis due to local law. It would be good if any tool build to solve this request could be made to search other notable web-archives too. Wittylama (talk) 15:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Like Internet Archive, Pandora is member of the IIPC (International Internet Preservation Consortium), so they're supposedly already working together. Perhaps Wikimedia Foundation should join the consortium? If I understand correctly, your point is that we should look for more sources: that should be rather easy as long as they are IIPC members and use compatible tooling. In the long term, if WMF joined the IIPC, then it could push for some sort of federated openwayback (or just send patches upstream?).
- For now however, the main goal is probably to somehow store the archived URLs MediaWiki-side so that some sort of parsing can happen to fix links without running bots on hundreds wikis. Otherwise, bot owners are in a better position to deal with the issue. Nemo 07:34, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

- Support This is a serious issue which definitely needs to be worked on, and is, in the end, going to need a much more permanent and inventive fix. I don't know if a full-on editing team is required -- maybe just an improved bot, or a section on some kind of common page (like the Wikpedia Community Portal) listing pages tagged with a "improve dead links" template (which would need to be created, I believe). I also definitely agree with user Sadads above, that any work done should build off of editors' current efforts, rather than starting completely from scratch. -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 17:11, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

- Comment Often, there is a better ("live") replacement for a dead link than the Wayback Machine's archived version. An automated process could discourage people from actively looking for such a replacement. Using an archived version should always be seen as a last-resort option; I'm not convinced that a blindly acting bot is what is needed here. Gestumblindi (talk) 01:11, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

- Support but not without hesitation. Basically I agree with arguments used by Gestumblindi (discouraging pepole from active looking for "live" replacements)". On the other hand however an old link is better than none. Pawel Niemczuk (talk) 02:48, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

- Neutral-- I am Pascal Martin, creator of Wikiwix, the French wikipedia link archiver since 2008. We host 80 million links from fr.wikipedia.org on our archive. We also archive the English ( not sure all ) Hungarian and Romanian link sources although we do not link to these. I think that a better solution than having all links archived by IA would be to allow users a choice of which archive version to use. This already works very well on dead links on fr.wikipedia.org, as for example in references 4 and 5 on this article: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_de_gauche_(France).And if Wikimedia Fondation is thinking of sponsoring someone for archives, Wikiwix would like to be considered for the job!
