Hello! (Sorry for cross posting if you were already subscribing on wikitech-ambassadors.) *TL;DR* Today (March 28) 13:00 UTC, the New filters for edit review <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review> beta option will be released on the Portuguese and Polish Wikipedias, and also on Mediawikiwiki. This beta option adds an improved filtering interface and powerful filtering and other tools to the Recent Changes page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges> (and Recent Changes Linked <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChangesLinked>). On wikis where the machine-learning service ORES is enabled <https://meta.wikipedia.org/Wiki/ORES>, the project introduces two filter groups—Contribution Quality and User Intent—that offer probabilistic predictions about, respectively, whether or not edits are likely to contain problems and whether the users who made them were acting in good faith. *What is this new feature?* This feature improves Special:RecentChanges <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges> and Special: RecentChangesLinked <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:RecentChangesLinked> by adding new useful features that will ease vandalism tracking and support of newcomers: - *Filtering <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Filtering>* - filter recent changes with easy-to-use and powerful filters combinations. - *Highlighting* <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Highlighting_function> - add a colored background to the different changes you are monitoring, to quickly identify the ones that matter to you. - *Quality and Intent Filters* <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Quality_and_Intent_Filters> - user ORES predictions to identify real vandalism or good faith intent contributions that need assistance. You can watch a video <https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ANew-feature_demo%E2%80%94smart_Recent_Changes_filtering_with_ORES.webm> which explains the principle of filtering and highlighting, based on the prototype. *What will happen?* At the moment, the ORES beta feature is available in Beta preferences <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures> on certain wikis. For those wikis, when the deployment will be done: - Users who have enabled the ORES beta feature will then use the New filters for Recent Changes Beta feature (no action needed, unless if you want to opt-out). - ORES predictions highlighting <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/ORES_review_tool> will be activated by default for all users (not in Beta anymore). - ORES redirections are symbolized by a "r" red (in English at least) in the RecentChanges pages for all users, like minor edits or not autopatrolled edits. - Users who want to change the accuracy level of ORES predictions will be able to do so in their preferences <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal> . - Users who want to change or hide the ORES predictions tags will be able to do so in their personal stylesheets <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/FAQ> (via CSS). If your wiki doesn't have ORES predictions highlighting <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/ORES_review_tool>, the filters will work anyway. However, the predictions filters will not be available until the process to enable ORES predictions is completed for your wiki. The deployment is not scheduled <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158335>at the moment for wikis without ORES predictions but will happen soon -- however, MediaWiki wiki is deployed today, as the first of them. *How to prepare this change?* You can discover the purpose of this project by visiting the quick tour help page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Quick_tour> . Also, please check the documentation <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review> (and help to translate it). Please also have a look at the translations of the interface on translatewiki.net. The messages are prefixed as rcfilters-and ores-rcfilters-. The next phase <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158332> is the deployment of the new filters (as a Beta) on Persian, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Czech Wikipedias and Wikidata, scheduled for April 11. I've already contacted these communities. The feedback page is open <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Edit_Review_Improvements/New_filters_for_edit_review> to your comments. Please ping me if you have any questions. On behalf of the Collaboration team <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Collaboration>, Benoît -- Benoît Evellin (Trizek) Community Liaison Wikimedia Foundation
