Hi all, I'm fond of this cheatsheet for wiki mark-up, we use it in Ukrainian a lot https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cheatsheet-en.pdf Is there anything similar in idea but focused on visual editing? Maybe someone has designed such already. Some leaflet that can be printed and distributed widely. Thanks for help,

Hi Vira, The only file I can find (I asked, and searched outreachwiki and commons), is this (slightly outdated, Aug 2015) page: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Help_Sheet_-_Editing_Wiki… Is that the kind of thing that you are wanting? Or is there a specific part of the visual editor interface, that you want magnified-and-annotated? The canonical help guide,[1] is the long and detailed: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide It's probably best to fully-translate that, and then discuss how to most clearly explain the major points, in a single printable page. The specifics might change depending upon your target-audience. (e.g. young students vs professional librarians. etc) HTH, Quiddity [1] It looks like more than half of the screenshots in the Uk version have been auto-captured, though I'm not familiar with how up-to-date those are. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide/uk Getting the rest, and making any updates, is currently not easy, because of problems with the code produced via https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Automatic_cross-language_screenshots - I think that is best-explained in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132574 ("Port language screenshots for VisualEditor from Ruby to JavaScript"). Just FYI. :)

Hi all, I really wanted to translate this cheatsheet into Arabic ever since Vira brought it to my attention. However, I am not sure how can I translate it while maintaining the same format (the colors and borders etc)? In other words, if I see a brochure that I would like to translate on Commons, what are the steps I should take? Best, Reem On 4 May 2016 at 12:45, Vira Motorko <vira.motorko(a)gmail.com> wrote:

but I think generally it would be better if we could first translate them all in meta and then make brochure in every language that we got translation. translation in meta is much more easier and more collaborative Mardetanha On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 10:15 PM, Jami Mathewson <jami(a)wikiedu.org> wrote:

Reem, You can find the text to translate as well as the InDesign and Scribus source files on the brochure page[1] of the Collab portal. If you translate the text and have either InDesign or Scirbus (which is free software), you can maintain the layout and formatting.

Hi everyone, here's a "wizard" that I devised for a presentation to secondary teachers at a workshop in Prague in 2011, perhaps it could be modernized to suit the new visual editor environment (the concept was to get a teacher set up an account and make his/her first edit in a 45-minute session) https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf Shai, nice to see you in this thread, hope we can catch up some time :) Best, Mina (Saintfevrier) Kefalonia, Greece On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 7:13 PM, שי כץ <shai(a)wikimedia.org.il> wrote:
