When you added or edited a template with the visual editor the input boxes were very big. This has been fixed. The input boxes will now be smaller until you click on them. Then they will change size to fit the text. [1]
Problems
Some diffs showed lines in the wrong order. This was fixed last week. [2]
Marking a cross-wiki notification as read didn't work every time. The other wiki was not updated. This has now been fixed. [3]
<maplink> did not work for a few days. This was because of a bug. This has now been fixed. [4]
{{subst:REVISIONUSER}} is used by some templates. For a period edits saved with {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} would save the previous user's name and not your username. This is now fixed. Edits made before the bug was fixed will still be wrong and need to be corrected. [5]
When you move a page the title still shows the old page name. The developers are working on fixing this. [6]
Changes later this week
Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour. You can read more about this.
Because of the data centre test there will be no new version of MediaWiki this week. Changes for this week will come next week instead.
Meetings
You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 Septmber at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Aceeași problemă legată de singular/plural pe care v-am mai semnalat-o la Cafenea apare și la Infocaseta Râu, unde se trece lungimea cursului în kilometru, nu în kilometri. Ex. Alzette. Ar trebui aleasă varianta prescurtată, dacă pluralul nu merge. --Donarius (discuție) 16 septembrie 2018 16:45 (EEST)Răspunde

Salut! Am observat întâmplător că în Monitorul Oficial nr. 772 de astăzi (7 septembrie 2018) sunt două ordine ale ministrului culturii prin care se fac mici modificări în lista monumentelor istorice (vezi http://www.monitoruloficial.ro pentru detalii). Tu ai mai urmărit cumva (mai mult sau mai puțin sistematic) astfel de modificări? Vrei să mai caut dacă mai sunt și altele? Răzvan Socolmesaj7 septembrie 2018 23:08 (EEST)Răspunde
Vezi că în paginile de la cdep.ro (menționate în link-ul de mai sus) actele respective apar în ordinea emiterii, nu în ordinea publicării în Monitorul Oficial. Astfel, cele două ordine publicate în Monitorul Oficial de ieri apar în pagina cu 2017, nu în cea aferentă lui 2018. Răzvan Socolmesaj8 septembrie 2018 17:29 (EEST)Răspunde
Din păcate n-am timp. De săptămâna trecută încerc să-mi fac curaj să răspund la celălalt mesaj în care m-ai menționat (cu dump-urile), dar nu m-am hotărât ce să spun... Răzvan Socolmesaj25 septembrie 2018 16:51 (EEST)Răspunde

Recent changes
Ordinary pages can no longer be loaded as javascript. You could do this using ?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript in the URL. Only fully protected pages in the MediaWiki: namespace or user javascript subpages can be loaded as javascript now. This is for better security. [12][13]
Problems
New and updated translations from translatewiki.net will not reach the wikis for a while. You can still translate messages on translatewiki.net. The Wikimedia wikis will be updated with the new translations later. This is because of work on the translation system. [14][15]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 October. It will be on all wikis from 4 October (calendar).
Meetings
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 3 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
You can join the meeting with the Wikimedia Foundation Search Platform team. The meeting will be on 3 October at 15:00 UTC. See how to join if you want to know how the search function works or have questions.
Future changes
Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour. You can read more about this.
Results from global Wikimedia survey 2018 are published
Hello! A few months ago the Wikimedia Foundation invited you to take a survey about your experiences on Wikipedia. You signed up to receive the results.
The report is now published on Meta-Wiki! We asked contributors 170 questions across many different topics like diversity, harassment, paid editing, Wikimedia events and many others.
Read the report or watch the presentation, which is available only in English.
Add your thoughts and comments to the report talk page.
Feel free to share the report on Wikipedia/Wikimedia or on your favorite social media. Thanks!

Sunteți cumva supărat pe mine? Observ că în ultima vreme aveți o atitudine acidă în ceea ce mă privește. V-am respectat aproape întotdeauna, încă de la început dacă vă mai aduceți aminte, când aveați destui dușmani și avuseseți deja un gest inamical față de mine, și nu reușesc să înțeleg cu ce v-am ofensat. Îmi pare rău. --Donarius (discuție) 4 octombrie 2018 20:38 (EEST)Răspunde
@Donarius: Nu aveți de ce să puneți la îndoială atitudinea lui Strainu. El a avut o reacție neinformată la o acțiune de-a mea negândită. Într-un final, eu sunt vinovatul, pentru asta îmi cer scuze de la Dvs. și de la Strainu mai ales. // Gikü vorbe fapte 4 octombrie 2018 21:34 (EEST)Răspunde
Nu o pun la îndoială, doar întreb. Dintre toți de aici aveam ideea că Strainu mă cunoaște și mă înțelege cel mai bine, de aceea am fost surprins că a fost tot mai rezervat în ultima vreme. Îl înțeleg foarte bine tocmai pentru că știu cât efort a depus pentru ca proiectul ăsta să progreseze și de aceea nu am vrut să-l mai stresez și eu. Pe de altă parte, noi ceilalți (precum Gikü, Alexandru M. sau eu) am depus eforturi pentru înaintarea proiectului. Ar trebui să încercăm să ne înțelegem și să tolerăm între noi exprimările mai puțin fericite. --Donarius (discuție) 4 octombrie 2018 21:59 (EEST)Răspunde

A new Wikidata game has been created to suggest corrections for some constraints violations. These corrections are learned from the Wikidata edit history.
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
Some pages, edits and users disappeared for a short while after the server switch. Missing content and users was fixed within a day. Some preferences and other things might take a few more days to fix. [18]
Wikis are updated with new and updated translations from translatewiki.net again. This will happen once a week. The developers are working on fixing the problem so we can have translation updates more often again. [19]
Changes later this week
When you create an abuse filter that prevents edits you can now write a specific error message for it. Before this all abuse filters that prevented edits had the same error message. [20]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 October. It will be on all wikis from 18 October (calendar).
Meetings
There will be no more meetings with the Editing team. This is because not enough Wikimedians were interested. To tell developers which bugs you think are the most important you can use Phabricator as normal. [21]
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 17 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
@Pafsanias: Mă gândeam eu că la Moara cu noroc vă referiți. Acolo utilizatorul a șters un text aiurea (înlocuindu-l, ce-i drept, cu o informatie fără surse) și a facut să apară în alte câmpuri textul din templatedata de la "autovalue". Modificarea nu era greșită (în niciun caz de avertisment), am dat revert pentru că era metoda cea mai rapidă să revin la o formă decentă.--Strainu (دسستي) 21 octombrie 2018 19:41 (EEST)Răspunde
