Is it like mw:Extension:CodeMirror? --Pastakhov (talk) 17:40, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I low the color coding of text that WikEd gives and miss it when I edit other languages. Sometimes I even work on text from other languages on En Wikipedia because we have better tools. We need a set of tools that the WMF will install on all Wikis that wish to opt in. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:31, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This could be considered part of the "modern wikitext editor" project. Cscott (talk) 18:21, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the VisualEditor team is definitely planning on doing this as part of the modern wikitext editor project. However, it's not being actively worked on yet and probably won't be for another quarter or two. I leave it up to the Community Tech team whether to include it in their survey, but I don't think they want to take on things that other teams have fairly concrete plans to do :)—Neil P. Quinn-WMF (talk) 20:16, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, let me clarify a couple of things. The project is to build a new wikitext editor with all these features (to avoid suddenly breaking users' workflows and gadgets). This wouldn't help people who strongly want to stick with the existing editor. In addition, syntax highlighting (within the context of a VE-like wikitext editor) is apparently more complex than it seems, and may have a negative impact on performance. So the new wikitext editor will probably include syntax highlighting, but it's not 100% certain, and it may be an opt-in preference rather than the default.—Neil P. Quinn-WMF (talk) 20:43, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's actually *very* useful to include things in the community wishlist which are already on WMF roadmaps. As Neil notes, it's not a near-term project for the Visual Editor team. The community wishlist is an opportunity to rank all these different *community wishes* against each other. If this proposal ends up ranked high on the wishlist, the VE team perhaps should reprioritize their work. Conversely if it is low, they should perhaps continue to defer this. We need these feedback mechanisms to allow the community to weigh in on the priorities of WMF teams. Cscott (talk) 21:57, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  45.   Support in the form of some upgrades and bugfixes for w:Wikipedia:WikiEd, in full collaboration with en:User:Cacycle, so that they are happy with the help.  :-)     Specifically, besides lack of bracket-flashers, WikiEd is limited to supporting only desktop browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Safari plus maybe Opera), but does not support Internet Explorer, which still is used by a good-sized chunk of internet denizens. Furthermore, I don't believe there is any special support for mobile browsers, used when doing mobile editing. Because wikiEd generates a custom iframe, it would be a boon were it to be customized for this use-case: entering template-related punctuation for refs and infoboxen, for instance, would be something that could be helpfully improved so that mobile editors don't need to mess with their vkeyb endlessly (or just give up and stop clicking edit). And sure, it is true that Someday there are some plans that the WMF will be working on a Visual-Editor-like-wikitext-editor. But that is an entirely different thing. We already have a default wikitext-editor, the simple <textarea> of the mid-1990s. We already have a syntax-highlighting purely-browser-based improvement on that classic, w:Wikipedia:WikiEd, which is javascript-only <iframe>-based and thus even supports anons, if it were only available as a toggle-on toggle-off default feature of the 'pedia. You can switch back and forth from <textarea> to wikiEd-<iframe>. And yeah, someday there will be the VE-compatible-wikitext thing, which will allow you to switch from visual-editing of WYSIWYG to visual-editing of wikitext. But why wait, when we can upgrade wikiEd, with a laser-focus effort today, to make it site-wide rather than a manually-enabled-gadget or a manually-installed-greasemonkey-script? Think of it as a prototype, which will help field-test what actual wikipedians doing actual wikitext editing, will actually *want* to see in the future VE-style thing. 75.108.94.227 21:52, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Modo de interfaz de usuario por defecto

La gente que ha estado editando por mucho tiempo suele tener interfaces altamente personalizadas, y también tienen una variedad de herramientas/derechos que no están disponibles para los usuarios nuevos. Estas son dos cosas importantes, pero hace díficil para los usuarios existentes entender los temas que encaran los usuarios nuevos. Un ejemplo práctico de esto es, cuando den presentaciones a usuarios nuevos en eventos de promoción, muchos Wikipedistas crean una cuenta de usuario 'falsa' específicamente para poder mostrar la interfaz de usuario 'normal' a los novatos. Es importante que el presentador nunca presione 'guardar' cuando muestre cómo editar, porque entonces esta cuenta de usuario tendría el derecho de auto-confirmado.

Propongo la creación de un 'modo' preferido por el usuario que convierte tanto la interfaz de usuario como los derechos de usuario en el' predeterminado' para un usuario recién registrado. Llámelo "nuevo modo de usuario" o "modo predeterminado". Crucialmente, editar en este modo significaría que el usuario no se convertiría en 'autoconfirmado' cuando guarde sus ediciones, pero seguiría contando el cambio en su cuenta de edición. Podría estar marcado en la historia con una etiqueta de #defaultMode o algo así. Wittylama (talk) 10:27, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier discussion and endorsements
Wouldn't it be easier to have a preference setting "incognito", which when on, just strips all preferences to the defaults? I think it is best to be able to act as yourself whenever possible. I understand the need, but it should be doable without an extra account. Alternatively, there could be a "Newbie" account that is not a real account (i.e. cannot save edits). This would be a variation of the sandbox theme. --Jane023 (talk) 14:35, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think that a preference setting called "incognito" implies that you're editing with the user-rights of an anon/IP editor (which is different form a newly registered/non-autoconfirmed editor). Also, "incognito" is a term used in some browsers that implies certain differences regarding privacy and tracking. I think that the word therefore sets an incorrect impression for the user about what it would mean, people might think that "being incognito" means they could leave messages without being identified by either their username or their IP, which isn't true.
When you say "it should be doable without an extra account" - yes, precisely. That's what I'm hoping for. Currently, for people to see the default interface they either have to create a new user account, or log-out and edit as an anon, both are sub-optimal approaches. What I'm suggesting is a mode that works while logged-in to your existing user-account. The "newbie" account that cannot actually save an edit is also sub-optimal for that very reason.

  1. Oppose this won't really take the place of using a fresh account if that is what is trying to be demonstrated. (e.g. Having to solve captcha's, redlinking your own pages, etc). xaosflux Talk 00:22, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2.   Oppose I sympathize with the rationale for this proposal, but I think coding it up will be rather complicated, with some unknown ramifications. The current workaround of creating a new, 'fake' account doesn't seem unreasonable. At best, this should be a very low priority. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 16:52, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand your perspective Stevietheman. I just wanted to emphasise that the 'fake' user account method has the specific drawbacks that by saving edits it will become auto-confirmed and therefore move away from being a 'new' user account, and it also means that the presenter is forking their contributions (and therefore attributions). Wittylama (talk) 20:51, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree those are drawbacks. Nevertheless, it doesn't take much work to create a fake account on the rare occasions one needs one. Also note that on someone else's new account one may be mentoring, they will also become auto-confirmed in short order. Overall, while I can see the benefits of this proposal, I think the development effort required to fully deal with all the ramifications keeps me at an 'Oppose', especially with all the other proposals that we need much more.

Besides, the implementation of this would have local impact only. --Piramidion 12:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reducir a la mitad los conflictos de edición

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T72163

Todos tenemos conflictos de edición, los que hemos estado en wikipedia somos mayormente quienes hemos aprendido a resolverlos, o a hacer muchas pequeñas ediciones en orden a minimizar el tiempo perdido cuando entramos en conflictos de edición. Han habido muchas propuestsa en bugzilla y en otros lados para reducir los conflictos de edición, pero no han tenido los recursos ya que mantener a los nuevos editores no era antes una prioridad. Pero esta es una de las cosas que los nuevos editores encuentran más desagradables sobre wikipedia, y usualmente es el novato el que pierde el conflicto de edición porque se toman minutos en sus ediciones y el categorizador o el que pone plantillas solamente segundos. (por supuesto esto se pone peor cuando eliminan la edición y demoran a los editores.)

Actualmente ni siquiera tenemos estadísticas públicas del número de editores que perdemos por conflictos de edición. Simplemente midiéndolos y el número de veces que predicen que un editor se irá podría confirmar que esta fue una de las mayores causas por las que buenos nuevos editores se fueron, pero arreglar algunos de las cosas que causan conflictos de edición podrían costar mucho menos.

Eliminar todos los conflictos de edición requeriría un cambio revolucionario en la interfaz de usuario, pero bajar los conflictos de edición a la mitad tomaría una bastante menor inversión.

Las formas específicas de reducir los conflictos de edición incluyen:

  1. Tratar el agregar una plantilla al principio de un artículo o una categoría al final como no conflictiva con la alteración de los contenidos que hay en el medio.
  2. Pre llenar todos los artículos recién creados con secciones como == Referencias == y == Véase también == o sus equivalentes en otros idiomas
  3. Tratar # igual que un encabezado de sección por lo que dos respuestas en dos diferentes hilos de la misma sección no sean tratados como un conflicto. WereSpielChequers (talk) 20:54, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  15.   Neutral Question: pre populate with references and see also, when there are no such content in the article? I'm sceptical about that, that's nothing that's done on svwp at least. Suggestion: there was another suggestion, I believe, about adding the headline "references" (and equivalents in other languages) when someone had added a <references />-tag, or similar. Or was it to add such a tag (and header) when someone had added ref-tags? Those are not bad suggestions at least, why not the latter? Afaik ref-s are auto-displayed if a finishing references-tag is missing, but why not perhaps auto-adding? 78.82.170.236 15:41, 1 December 2015 (UTC) (who btw just got an edit conflict.. :) But I was slow.) edit: that comment was me, somehow I was logged out..

    Comment. I'd support any proposal to reduce edit conflicts, though this one is fairly minor. I have had many edit conflicts over the years, but I don't recall any of them being because of the addition of a template at the top of the article or a category at the bottom. The one that bugs me the most is bots coming in to do something very minor (such as adding a date on an existing template - usually inline). I would support the notion that certain low maintenance bot edits do not trigger edit conflicts. But surely, better than that, would be an automatic note that popped up if you went to edit an article, and someone was already editing it. A note saying: "User:XXX is currently editing this article so any edits you make will result in an edit conflict, please try again in a few moments. If you continue to have problems, you may wish to contact User:XXX". As with some others, I am not certain about point 2. While I feel adding a reference section to article pages is useful, I am not convinced that every article needs a See also section. SilkTork (talk) 09:19, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  42.   Support the proposal in general. But the description of the issue is a bit inaccurate. This may not be true for the newbies, but as for me, when I get an edit conflict, that's not a problem nearly at all. Of course, it consumes a few seconds and might be annoying, but I never lose my text. If I get a conflict, nothing prevents me from going back in my browser to copy what I've typed, and then pasting it where I intended to. Yes, newbies might not know these «workarounds», so that's really a problem for them. But I really don't understand why should an experienced editor need «to do lots of little edits in order to minimise the time lost» - I could rewrite a whole article in one edit without being afraid that an edit conflict takes place. It's just confusing that there might be experienced contributors that don't know such simple things.--Piramidion 11:55, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  43.   Support, because I often make large edits, which touch a half-dozen places (or more). If somebody has messed with *any one* of those places, e/c. And sure, I can manually find the five places where there *was* not actually a conflict... but that the "overly-cautious" mediawiki software prevented me from saving... and redo them, along with the one bit that actually caused the edit-conflict. I can imagine that VE-users will experience equally bad results, especially as they are starting to get ambitious. Imagine you are a beginning editor. Making a few typo-corrections, gives you a sense of accomplishment. So you start working on bigger changes. You are a good potential wikipedian, so you think hard about them, and you are a beginner at wikitext, so it takes you several preview-cycles to get it exactly right. Finally, your first major edit (or 2nd or 3rd or 4th... but not 1000th... you will get a LOT of edit-conflicts before you hit 1000 edit-count, especially if you make LARGE or complex edits). You click save. Edit conflict! Gumption trap. As for experienced editors, smarter software that doesn't have edit-conflicts will save them some time and annoyance; not much, just a few seconds and a slight amount of annoyance... but multiply the savings across ALL the long-haul highly-active editors, and you have improved efficiency... plus more importantly, morale. 75.108.94.227 22:04, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Edgars2007: I know, but it doesn't work when editing, with the WikEdDiff gadget you can't see what changes you made before saving, so it's not a full replacement for WikEd. We use scripts for formatting and need to be able to look at the changes before saving.

  Endorsed improvements to diff. My pet peeve is when diff gets confused and lists unchanged paragraphs as both - and + text. It would also be nice if diff were smart enough to avoid cutting two <tags> in half (start and endpoints of diff-text inside tags) when it would be much cleaner to align on the tag boundary. I'm sure there's a lot that could be improved if diffs were targeted as a project. Alsee (talk) 20:22, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Endorsed. This sounds like a good idea, since I think it would be a very useful improvement.

  106. Comment: (strong support), and in particular, please make the diff-view *interactive* so that I can use the mouse (or the finger on touchscreens) to "pull" parts of the diff which were incorrectly positioned by the software, into the correct location. Make sure you field-test the new diff-view with BEGINNING editors, people who have never used git in their life, people who don't live on the command-line. The color-coding and visual cues of the current diff-view are terrible confusing for beginning-wikipedians, in my experience. Be bold in trying to improve this feature, it is crucial to any serious collaborative work on controversial topics (politics/religion/emacs-vs-vim/etc), and in the current primitive state is almost painful to utilize. Go whole-hog on this one, maximize the resources thrown at it. It will be tempting to just take whatever existing FLOSS code for diffs is easily available, and give that a few tweaks. Don't do that. Sure, draw on the existing diff-app-ecosphere: but wikipedia needs a rock-solid diff, one which rarely makes mistakes, is interactively fixable when it does make errors, and overall is instantly clear to beginners who may never have seen a diff-tool in their lives.

Earlier discussion and endorsements
  •   Endorsed I don't recall ever seeing this template used (although I'm sure I could find out how many transclusions there are), but I think most editors are unaware of it, and usage seems more complicated than should be necessary. The ability to name a reference, and then within the subsequent citations, to simply add "page=27" or whatnot would simplify this and help reduce reference clutter on articles that cite multiple pages from the same source. Etamni (talk) 06:14, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Comment Rather than limit things to <ref name=blah page=42/> allowing either that form or <ref name=blah note="page=42"/> where the "note" is arbitrary and can be "chapter=3" or, for non-book items like web sites that require clicks to "un-hide" content or which don't allow direct deep linking, instructions like "Click on 'show more' tab" or "click on News->Archives->June 2015->Storm destroys Atlantis".

  41.   Oppose As Martin of Sheffield says, this sounds redundant to {{sfn}} and the like, which is incredibly powerful and slick and ought to be used more. QuartierLatin1968 (talk) 04:42, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  42.   Strong support This request is not redundant with {{sfn}} and {{efn}} and friends. Sure, those are slick templates. And sure, you *can* make a multi-section ref-architecture, which "solves" the problem this proposal is aiming to solve. *If* you are willing to settle for an inelegant solution, with weird syntax, which doesn't make ANY sense to beginning-editors. Or even to intermediate-level editors, for that matter. See also, harvnb, #tag workarounds, and other such things. Anything involving curly-braces in addition to <ref>-tags, is basically a kludge. That goes for general-purpose efn/sfn/etc curly-brace magic. That also goes for special-purpose {{rp}} which kinda-sorta solves this specific problem... but again, in somewhat inelegant fashion. This proposal is to SOLVE the problem, in an elegant fashion: according to implementation-phase-one outlined in phab:T100645, the basic idea is to add to XML attribs to the <ref>-tag, so that editors can modify the underlying {{cite book}} parameters on the fly. Now that is elegant. Even more elegant, would be to add some additional power to the <ref>-tag attributes, so that *arbitrary* portions of the underlying {{citation}} form could be replaced on the fly. So for instance, the main use-case here is about writing an article, sourced to a 999-page book, and wanting to cite specific sentences-or-paragraphs of the article-prose, to specific pages of the book in question. Here is what would be ideal to be able to utilize: first, define the book as a reference. {{reflist|refs= <ref name=stokes'10>{{cite book |title=Isaac Newton |author=Mitch Stokes |year=2010 |isbn=1-59555-303-7 |page=111 }}</ref> }} Next, in the body-prose of the article, say things like <ref name=stokes'10 page=222 /> and later for a different factoid <ref name=stokes'10 page=333 />. Now sure, you can do SOMETHING kinda equivalent using {{rp}} or {{efn}} kludges, that is true. But those are complicated syntax, and *still* limited. Consider the power to override other cite-template-params, besides the page-num, using ref-tag-attribs: what if you were working from the paperback, not the hardback? Simply say <ref name=stokes'10 page=444 isbn=2-60444-292-8 /> to indicate page 444 in the paperback edition. What if you are working from books.google.com? You can override the |url= param like this: <ref name=stokes'10 page=555 url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zpsoSXCeg5gC&pg=PA5552 />. Being able to override the |url= param is *extremely* useful when citing television shows such as C-SPAN's video uploads, for instance, the 2008 POTUS debates: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DvdfO0lq4rQ#t=111s which is distinct from http://youtube.com/watch?v=DvdfO0lq4rQ#t=222s. I would also like to be able to override the |quote= parameter, for when I am pulling five distinct factoids from a 5000-word blog-post, *without* endlessly repeating all the cite-web params. Now, it would be exceedingly rare to need to override cite-template params in ALL these ways (page/isbn/url/quote/etc) during the course of editing a single article... but implementation-phase-two of this proposal, it to store the ref-data as part of wikidata, and thus be able to use the same cite-template-data in multiple wikipedia articles. Unless there is a way to override the cite-template-params, using the ref-tag, this second phase cannot be made to work. Strong support on this idea. See also the related proposal, Editing#Nested_tag_support (and phab:T3310), which would be another way to elegantly solve this problem, albeit probably more difficult to implement without breaking existing wikipedia conventions. 75.108.94.227 18:56, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]



Combinar la herramienta de traducción de contenidos y el editor visual en una sola herramienta

El concepto de traducción de contenidos es muy bueno. Las ediciones más grandes de wikipedia (especialmente la de inglés) es la fuente principal para artículos en otros idiomas. Pero en la forma actual de la Traducción de Contenidos, tú puedes solamente traducir un artículo, pero no puedes agregar información de otras fuentes, agregar plantillas locales, o incluso cambiar/agregar archivos de media, hasta que publiques el artículo. Mi sugerencia es fusionar la traducción de contenidos con el editor visual en una herramienta, en la cual traducir sería una opción. בנימין (talk) 15:16, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Task T49721

Antes de cambiar a las herramientas de laboratorio (¿estoy usando la jerga correcta?) teníamos una pequeña herramienta elegante en la wikipedia en inglés que era muy superior a la que tenemos ahora como los 50 Mejores contribuyentes.

Con el simple click de un botón uno debería poder revisar TODOS los editores que alguna vez editaron una página ordenado de 8 formas distintas. Este es útil cuando se trata de ajustar el nivel de actividad de WikiProyectos, y se hace muy útil para alguien como yo quien solo ocasionalmente participa en una página de discusión, pero que cuando lo hacen quieren tener algo de información de la audiencia potencial para no hacer completamente el rídiculo frente a esta.

La herramienta desplegaba la lista de editores que habían participado en la página. Había 4 columnas, cada uno de las cuales podía ser ordenada de adelante-a-atrás y vice versa:

  • ID de usuario
  • número de ediciones a la página
  • fecha de la primera edición
  • fecha de la última edición

Era rápida y raramente (si es que) fallaba, mientras que la herramienta que tenemos hoy solamente lista los 50 principales editores, no puede ser ordenada, y se rompe con facilidad.

Cálculos sencillos en las tablas

Tengo entendido que los programadores están trabajando muy duro en facilitar la creación de tablase en el editor visual. No lo hemos logrado todavía y he visto una regresión recientemente pero estamos cerca de poder copiar y pegar una tabla existente en una hoja de cálculo directamente en la ventana de edición. En este momento eso nos permite transferir datos celda por celda pero no no permite una de las funciones tradicionales de las hojas de cálculo: operaciones matemáticas simples (por ejemplo sumar los registros en una columna, la relación de dos celdas, etc.) La funcionalidad total de una hoja de cálculo está más allá de lo que MediaWiki debería soportar pero veo mucho valor en permitir algunos conceptos simples como sumas de datos y divisiones (también me gustaría la opción de tener columnas ocultas, lo que sospecho que es técnicamente posible pero puede que no sea trivial, estaré feliz de explicarlo si la necesidad por esta función no es obvia).

Los editores que no siguen deportes puede que no sepan que hay cientos, o tal vez miles, de artículos con tablas con resultados históricos de entrenadores y jugadores individuales. Por ejemplo John Thurston.

En resumen, el desafío es que no es difícil agregar un año a una plantilla o actualizar la plantilla cuando el equipo gana pero los subtotales por entrenador y por conferencia contra no conferencia, los resultados acumulados agregados y los porcentajes ganadores no se actualizan automáticamente y se deben editar por separado.

La situación actual tiene dos problemas:

  1. Es más complicada de lo que debería: Actualizar un juego individual no es fácil, en vez de cambiar una sola celda, el editor debe editar ocho celdas, o seis o cuatro, eso depende.
  2. Los errores persisten: Si un editor comete un error los subtotales y totales serán incorrectos y una edición posterior que haga todos los incrementos correctamente no corregirá el problema, este persistirá (además, si algún editor observa que los subtotales están mal y corrige el error, es posible que la fuente del error original fuera alguna de las filas individuales y ahora los totales estarán bien pero la fila individual seguirá mal, cuando la aplicación no calcula los totales, las entradas individuales y los totales pueden tener errores de consistencia).

Para ilustrar,

  • Enfoque actual de cuándo se gana un juego:
  1. Incrementar contador de juegos ganados en la temporada
  2. Si es un juego de conferencia, incrementar contador de juegos ganados de temporada
  3. Si está la plantilla de porcentaje de triunfos, incrementar contador de triunfos
  4. Incrementar contador de triunfos del entrenador
  5. Si es un juego de conferencia, incrementar contador de juegos ganados de temporada del entrenador
  6. Si está la plantilla de porcentaje de triunfos, incrementar contador de triunfos del entrenador
  7. Incrementar contador de triunfos históricos
  8. Si está la plantilla de porcentaje de triunfos, incrementar contador de triunfos históricos
  • Enfoque propuesto cuando se gana un juego:
  1. Incrementar el contador en el campo conferencia, si es un juego de conferencia, o en el de no-conferencia (el software después calcula todos los subtotales y porcentajes).

He presentado esto en el contexto de tablas de deportes, pero hay muchas tablas dentro de Wikipedia que requieren actualización adicional. En los casos donde estas tablas tengan totales y subtotales los mismos problemas persisten - que las entradas en los subtotales están desincronizados. Los editores deberían modificar valores individuales y dejar que el computador haga la matemática.

No sé si este entrará en el tipo de cosas consideradas en este ámbito. Si lo está, haré notar que mi breve discusión de más arriba es muy limitada, y seré voluntario para escribir casos de uso más desarrollados y detallar especificaciones.--Sphilbrick (talk) 17:23, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It may be possible to already do this via Lua Modules. I don't have much experience with writing Lua Modules myself, but maybe someone like Mr. Stradivarius would have a better idea. Ryan Kaldari (WMF) (talk) 03:03, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What Sphilbrick describes isn't quite possible in Scribunto. For someone to be able to edit certain rows of a table with VisualEditor and have other rows of that table updated by Lua modules, you would need to have one module invocation for each cell that you want updated. To do this, you would need to grab the latest wikitext revision of the page and then attempt to parse it to determine the module output. However, there are two problems with this: a) parsing wikitext reliably is really hard (for those who have never seen it, take a look at Parser.php), and b) the module output won't be updated on page preview, as it only uses the latest saved revision of the page. To do this properly in Lua you would need to replace the entire table with a template invocation. However, then you wouldn't be able to edit it with VisualEditor (at least not directly). — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 07:43, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Mr. Stradivarius: I was thinking about an all template solution. For example, why can't the Compact election box template on en.wiki compute all the percentages for you based on the votes rather than requiring you to compute and enter them as separate parameters? I imagine this could be handled with some math and rounding functions in Lua, right? FWIW, I don't expect spreadsheet features will be added into VisualEditor any time soon. I just don't think there's enough demand for it given the trade-off of making the table editing interface a lot more complicated (but who knows). I'm not on the Editing team, so I can't speak for them. Ryan Kaldari (WMF) (talk) 00:22, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Sphilbrick:. "we are close to being able to copy and paste an existing table from a spreadsheet directly into an editing window." Can you link to any info on this? I wrote up a roundabout way to do this: Commons:Convert tables and charts to wiki code or image files. See section titled "Web to LibreOffice Calc to tab2wiki". I guess you can do something similar to solve some of the simple math stuff you are trying to do. Paste the wiki table into LibreOffice Calc, or into a tool at the Wikimedia Tool Labs. Then do the math there. Get the new table back in wikitext format directly, or by pasting the revised Calc spreadsheet into tab2wiki. --Timeshifter (talk) 14:31, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  5.   Support I would really like this as I often update tennis statistics. Basic arithmetic is not original research. It should be very simple though, e.g. adding named tags to two cells, and referring to these names in another cell to add the values. I don't think we should have all cells named by default as in common spreadsheets (A1, B2, etc). It is no problem if the initial creation of these tags takes some time, as it saves a lot of effort and errors in the long run. Gap9551 (talk) 20:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  9.   Support Having been frustrated by this more than a couple times in the past (and with a strong objection to the idea above that it's all about original research), I think this would be a great improvement. That said, I think revamping the way MediaWiki handles tables would make this a huge task, so it's probably most reasonable handled through templates (though I won't claim to know what I'm talking about :) ) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:54, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Convertir RefToolbar en una extensión de MediaWiki (o agregarla a la extensión del Wikieditor)

Actualmente Reftoolbar solo está disponible en la wikipedia en inglés (aunque hay una versión limitada en la wikipedia en malayo). Se ha pedido frecuentemente que la conviertan en una extensión para que otras wikipedias la puedan usar.

Isn't mw:Citoid the extension that aims to cover Reftoolbar's feature set?--Qgil-WMF (talk) 08:13, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe so. Citoid is for automatic reference creation. RefToolbar is for (mostly) manual reference creation. Kaldari (talk) 17:13, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like there isn't any chance of this happening, since the editing team is building a new WikiText editor that will have the VE citation-building interface. See bug T104479[1] (links from mw m w). Kaldari (talk) 18:41, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Citoid does the automatic reference creation part, but the 'Manual' tab in the cite inspector lets you choose Book/Website/Journal/... templates and uses TemplateData to make completing those easy on any wiki (not just English). As you can now seamlessly switch between VisualEditor and WikiEditor it wouldn't be sensible to invest any more time in RefToolbar, when we already have a superior feature in VE.

    If you opt in to VE you can still use the wikitext editor for all your editing, and just switch to VisualEditor (mid-edit if necessary) if you want to add a citation. If you opt out of new features you don't get new features... ESanders (WMF) (talk) 00:26, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, but not everyone agrees that VE is a "new feature" but rather an optional one. In fact, many have rejected it for various reasons.
