In the Community Tech team, we're constantly striving to make the world better by creating helpful things and fixing unhelpful things. We're basically superheroes, and we wear capes at all times. Here's what we've been up to this month.
- We built a new Special:GadgetUsage report that's live on all wikis; it
lists gadgets used on the wiki, ordered by the number of users. Not to be clickbait or anything, but THE RESULTS WILL SHOCK YOU. Check it out at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GadgetUsage or your own favorite wiki.
- HotCat is one of the most popular gadgets -- see: GadgetUsage report
above -- which helps people remove, change and add categories. We fixed HotCat on over 100 wikis where it was broken, including Wikipedias in Egyptian Arabic, Ripuarian, Buginese and Navajo, and five projects in Farsi -- Wikinews, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikivoyage and Wiktionary. You're welcome, Farsi! (More info on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:HotCat )
- CitationBot is a combination tool/on-wiki gadget that helps to expand
incomplete citations. We got it running again after the https change, updated it, and fixed some outstanding bugs, including handling multiple author names. (See http://tools.wmflabs.org/citations/doibot.html for more info.)
- We also built a prototype of a new tool called RevisionSlider, which
helps editors navigate through diff pages without having to go back and forth to the history page. The prototype is live now on test.wp, and we'd love to get your feedback -- visit https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/RevisionSlider
Coming up in November:
- We're starting a big cross-project Community Wishlist Survey on November
9th, inviting contributors from any wiki to propose and vote on the features and fixes they'd like our team to work on. The survey page is on Meta, at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey -- please join us there on Monday to add your proposals.
- While that's going on, we're currently considering work in a few
different areas, including completing Gadgets 2.0 and building some modules to help WikiProjects.
You can keep track of what we're working on by watching Community Tech/News on Meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/News -- and feel free to leave questions or comments on the talk page. Thanks!
Okay, so I'm not going to say they shocked me.... in fact, they're pretty much what I expected. However, I notice on the stats for English Wikipedia[1] that multiple gadgets appear twice, once with a higher number and a second time with a "-" in front of them, and a low number.
I think T117440 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T117440.
Example:
wikEd 33462 -wikEd 7
Twinkle 32487 -Twinkle 7
Are the negative numbers the number of users who had previously enabled the gadget and then subsequently disabled it? If not, what are they?
Thanks for targeting the cleanup and broader distribution of those high-use tools and gadgets.
