Adding users to Module:IgenCoa

[edit]

Hi JarekT,
After having moved (via igenc id) thousands of files from the root directory to existing users' in here, I eventually looked the source code of Module:IgenCoa;
Do you think that adding a user could be as simple as addig a line in there ?
For an example, inserting:
cvb = { 'I', nil, 'c', 'gf', nil, ':CVB', 'CVB', 'CVB' };
(for user 'CVB' ) - just before the line (59) containing
cy = { 'I', nil, 'c', 'gf', nil, ':Cyygma', 'CY', 'Cyygma' };
…might be an interesting try…
What do you think?

@Kontributor 2K: I added the line, please verify if it works or not. I personally think it is crazy that a LUA code has some per user logic in it, especially related to categories. In the past such categories were very hard to work with resulting in people just removing templates adding them, so I do not like Module:IgenCoa much, but that is what we have. Ideally , moving files to categories should be done by cat-a-lot. --Jarekt (talk) 13:02, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have verified, it works, shows the user name and categorizes in right folders
(I was writing a draft about a minor issue on 1 user)
If you're ok, I'll work on a relevant user list,
--Kontributor 2K (talk) 13:11, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kontributor 2K: If you have more I will be happy to add. --Jarekt (talk) 13:12, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please use Module:IgenCoa/sandbox--Jarekt (talk) 13:13, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jarekt: ok I'm done for now, the sandbox may be applied to the module,
If you please --Kontributor 2K (talk) 10:27, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JarekT,
I'll be ok for round #2,

Hi JarekT,
I'm requiring a module update, only for there's a duplicate user id… now fixed

Tech News: 2024-43

[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

  • The Mobile Apps team has released an update to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the "Donate" button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned navigation refresh to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.

Updates for editors

  • Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's Content Discovery Experiments page and subscribe to their newsletter.
  • Later this month, logged-out editors of these 12 wikis will start to have temporary accounts created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new type of user account. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available. Read more about the deployment plan across all wikis.
  • View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the South Ndebele, Pannonian Rusyn, Obolo, Iban and Tai Nüa Wikipedia languages were created last week. [1][2][3][4][5]
  • It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new Wikidata lexeme type launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in the latest Wikifunctions newsletter.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new {{#timef:…}} parser function. For example, {{#timef:now|date|en}} will show as "6 November 2024". Previously, {{#time:…}} could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. #timef (or #timefl for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [6][7]
  • Advanced item Commons and Meta users can now efficiently retrieve the user's language using {{USERLANGUAGE}} instead of using {{int:lang}}. [8]
  • The Product and Tech Advisory Council (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the Movement Strategy's Technology Council initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform. [9]

In depth

  • The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: an upcoming Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module, new Community Configuration options, and details on new projects.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation is now an official partner of the CVE program, which is an international effort to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This partnership will allow the Security Team to instantly publish common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) records that are affecting MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, along with any other code the Foundation is a steward of.
  • The Community Wishlist is now testing machine translations for Wishlist content. Volunteers can now read machine-translated versions of wishes and dive into discussions even before translators arrive to translate content.

Organ Repertory Wolfram Syré – donation of 2,500 audio recordings

[edit]
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Organ Sonata in B-flat major
op. 65 no. 4 (1865)

Hello Jarek, this is still very early stage, but I am already super excited because as things stand at the moment, we are likely going to receive a media donation of over 2,500 (two thousand five hundred!) recordings from the private archive of a retired German organist.

As a test, I have already uploaded seven files and created a project page on German Wikipedia: de:Portal:Orgel/Orgelrepertoire Wolfram Syré

My initial conversations with Mr Syré are going very well and he has already contributed to the discussion at the German-language organ WikiProject.

We will of course need some help uploading all the files in some way or another, even though Mr Syré has already said that he will help by preparing the files, and also with categorising them etcetera. Is this something you could help us with, or is there someone else we should talk to?

Thank you for your help, and for allowing me to share my excitement about this super cool new project! Gnom (talk) 11:22, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gnom, I would suggest to do as follows:
  • pick some file name convention - pick something that caries the most info in short(ish) package. It might help to add some unique identifier to each file name for easier tracking and guaranteed uniqueness. Maybe "Wolfram Syré - name of the piece - 4-digit ID"
  • I would upload the files initially with the default {{Information}} infobox and latter change it to more specific one
  • I would associate each recording with Wikidata item for each composition, like Organ Sonatas, Op. 65 (Q7101763). If they are missing than perchaps new Wikidata items should be created. This would be likely the most time consuming.
  • I see we have Template:Musical work infobox, but that template is unable to use Wikidata to pull data from. Maybe we should create something similar to Template:Art Photo With separate sections for "Composition" (pulled from Wikidata) and the "performance" which uses Template:Musical work and could look like:
Performance artist
Wolfram Syré  (1950–)  wikidata:Q97975
 
Wolfram Syré
Alternative names
Wolfram Syre
Description German organist and musicologist
Date of birth 29 November 1950 Edit this at Wikidata
Location of birth Fulda Edit this at Wikidata
Authority file
creator QS:P170,Q97975
Description
English: Recorded with a sample of the 2012 Metzler organ in the Abbey of Santa Maria of Poblet, Spain using a Hauptwerk digital organ.
Performance date 2024
Source Organ Repertory Dr. Wolfram Syré
What do you think? Also can you tell me what unique data you have for each file? --Jarekt (talk) 03:19, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Jarek, thank you for your kind and quick response!
As a first step, I tried adding the Template:Musical work to the file File:Rakoczy March arrangement Hector Berlioz re-arrangement for organ William Thomas Best.mp3 – is this what you had in mind?
For the files and their naming, we are still not at this point yet, but I will bring it up in my next conversation with Mr Syré.
Thank you again, --Gnom (talk) 09:32, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updates for editors

Updates for technical contributors

  • Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [11]
  • Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [12]

Eswatini Flag

[edit]

Hello Jarekt, could you take a look at File talk:Flag of Eswatini.svg? I think I would need help to do all that changing around. Feitidede (talk) 15:33, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feitidede I was helping in the past and can help again if there are some protected pages that need to be edited, but I do not deal with flags much otherwise. From File talk:Flag of Eswatini.svg I could not tell what needs to be done. --Jarekt (talk) 23:43, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

  • Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [13]
  • Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
  • The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [14]
  • View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.

Updates for technical contributors

  • XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [15]

In depth

  • Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
  • The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.

Meetings and events

  • MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 is happening in Vienna, Austria and online from 4 to 6 November 2024. The conference will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users.
