Hello,
I many times tried to download wiki archive ob gz or bz2 but they are
always corrupt.
I tried to use different archives, different programs but always had the
same problem.
Could you please advise.
Respectfully,
Denis
Hi everyone,
Help Panel <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Growth/Tools/Help_panel>
has now been enabled on WIkidata Beta
<https://www.wikidata.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page>, and we’d
love your help testing it.
What’s the Help Panel?
It’s a small module designed to support contributors (especially newcomers)
by offering quick access to relevant help pages while editing or browsing
Wikidata. It’s part of the Growth features developed by the Wikimedia
Foundation to improve onboarding and retention across projects. The Help
Panel currently appears in read mode across most pages. Admins can adjust
where it shows up via Community Configuration
<https://www.wikidata.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Special:CommunityConfiguration/H…>
.
Want to test it?
You can enable it in your Beta preferences under "Newcomer features". We
want to understand how useful the Help Panel is in the Wikidata context,
what help links should be included, and whether it’s worth enabling on
WIkidata proper. Your feedback will help shape how this feature evolves so
please let us know what you think on this talk page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:Growth/Tools/Help_panel>.
Cheers,
--
