Frohes Neues Jahr!

Lieber Roman, ich wünsche Dir von ganzem Herzen ein frohes und gesegnetes Neues Jahr 2023! Deine Beiträge hier auf Commons – und insbesondere Deine stets konstruktiven und hilfreichen Kommentare – machen mir sehr viel Freude. Ich hoffe, Du steuerst auch dieses Jahr wieder viele tolle Fotos bei. Herzliche Grüße aus Kalifornien, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:57, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Lieber Frank, herzlichen Dank für Deine Grüße und guten Wünsche! Meinerseits möchte ich Dir alles Gute für das neue Jahr wünschen – viele schöne Momente, bereichernde Begegnungen und natürlich gutes Licht für tolle Fotos. Ich freue mich sehr, dass Du meine Kommentare als hilfreich und konstruktiv empfindest – ich selbst muss zugeben, dass mir das im vergangenen Jahr ein paarmal nicht gelungen ist, aber ich hoffe, in Zukunft wieder gelassener zu werden. Herzliche Grüße aus good old Germany, --Aristeas (talk) 10:46, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Tech News: 2023-02

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

Recent changes

• You can use tags to filter edits in the recent changes feed or on your watchlist. You can now use tags to filter out edits you don't want to see. Previously you could only use tags to focus on the edits with those tags. [1]
• Special:WhatLinksHere shows all pages that link to a specific page. There is now a prototype for how to sort those pages alphabetically. You can see the discussion in the Phabricator ticket.
• You can now use the thanks function on your watchlist and the user contribution page. [2]
• A wiki page can be moved to give it a new name. You can now get a dropdown menu with common reasons when you move a page. This is so you don't have to write the explanation every time. [3]
• Matrix is a chat tool. You can now use matrix: to create Matrix links on wiki pages. [4]
• You can filter out translations when you look at the recent changes on multilingual wikis. This didn't hide translation pages. You can now also hide subpages which are translation pages. [5]

Changes later this week

• Realtime preview for wikitext is a tool which lets editors preview the page when they edit wikitext. It will be enabled for all users of the 2010 wikitext editor. You will find it in the editor toolbar.
• Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on 10 January at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis) and on 12 January at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis).
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 January. It will be on all wikis from 12 January (calendar).

Thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2022! Please help with this survey

Dear Aristeas,

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2022, and for sharing your pictures with the whole world! We would like to ask again for a few minutes of your time. Thanks to the participation of people like you, the contest gathered more than 150K+ pictures of cultural heritage objects from more than 35 countries around the world.

You can find all your pictures in your upload log, and are of course very welcome to keep uploading images and help develop Wikimedia Commons, even though you will not be able to win more prizes (just yet). To make future contests even more successful than this year, we would like to invite you to share your experiences with us in a short survey.

Please fill in this short survey and help us learn what you liked and didn't like about Wiki Loves Monuments 2022.

Kind regards, Wiki Loves Monuments team, 09:40, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Tech News: 2023-03

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

• The URLs in "prev" links on page history now contain diff=prev&oldid=[revision ID] in place of diff=[revision ID]&oldid=[revision ID]. This is to fix a problem with links pointing to incorrect diffs when history was filtered by a tag. Some user scripts may break as a result of this change. [6]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 January. It will be on all wikis from 19 January (calendar).
• Some changes to the appearance of talk pages have only been available on Talk: and User talk: namespaces. These will be extended to other talk namespaces, such as Commons talk:. They will continue to be unavailable in non-talk namespaces, including Commons: pages (e.g., at the Village Pump). You can change your preferences (beta feature). [7]
• On Wikisources, when an image is zoomed or panned in the Page: namespace, the same zoom and pan settings will be remembered for all Page: namespace pages that are linked to a particular Index: namespace page. [8]
• The Vector 2022 skin will become the default for the English Wikipedia desktop users. The change will take place on January 18 at 15:00 UTC. Learn more.

Future changes

• The 2023 edition of the Community Wishlist Survey, which invites contributors to make technical proposals and vote for tools and improvements, starts next week on 23 January 2023 at 18:00 UTC. You can start drafting your proposals in the CWS sandbox.

Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Emaille-Kreuz DreiE Hof 20221223 HOF07310-HDR.jpg

Hallo Roman, ich musste leider diese deine Stimme streichen, weil sie unzurechend signiert war. Leider ist es diesmal auch so, dass ich deswegen die Kandidatur, die ansonsten knapp durchgekommen wäre, als erfolglos schließen musste. Bitte in Zukunft besser auf die korrekte Signatur aufpassen (Ping auch an User:PantheraLeo1359531). Viele Grüße --A.Savin 14:50, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Hallo Alexander, so ein Mist, das tut mir leid. Ich frage mich, wie das passieren konnte – vermutlich habe ich mich irgendwo bei der --~~~~-Signatur vertippt und der Parser hat das Ergebnis daher unvollständig aufgelöst. Ich muss also in Zukunft die Signaturen genauer kontrollieren. – @PantheraLeo1359531: Es tut mir sehr leid, dass Deine Nominierung durch meine Schusseligkeit durchgefallen ist. Da gibt es nichts zu beschönigen. Dennoch vielleicht ein Tipp (an uns alle, wenn wir etwas nominieren): Es wäre gut, wenn wir die Stimmen rechtzeitig kontrollieren und andere User auf solche Fehler aufmerksam machen, solange die Signaturen noch repariert werden können. --Aristeas (talk) 16:55, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Ich gehe ja oft die Kandidaturen durch und kontrolliere z.B. bei unbekannten Accounts die Stimmberechtigung. Aber diesmal ist's mir leider nicht rechtzeitig aufgefallen. Gerade der Nominierende ist aber stets ausdrücklich ermutigt, da mitzuwirken. Grüße --A.Savin 17:26, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Ja, schade, aber natürlich ist es trotzdem mein Fehler! @PantheraLeo1359531: Ich kann Dir leider nur anbieten, dieses Foto gleich nochmal zu nominieren (d.h. ich nominiere es in meinem Namen und erkläre dabei auch, warum erneut abgestimmt werden soll, mit Entschuldigung für die zusätzliche Mühe, die das macht). Die Frage ist: Sollen wir das gleich machen oder sollen wir eine Weile warten? Mir ist es egal, was meinst Du? --Aristeas (talk) 09:16, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Anmerkung von mir - ich habe auch zunächst aufgrund der Unklarheit mit den Lizenzen nicht abgestimmt und die Nominierung dann leider nicht mehr verfolgt. Ich würde mich über eine nochmalige Nominierung freuen. --Kritzolina (talk) 09:22, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh das ist wirklich schade. @Aristeas: Ich würde mich sehr über eine Renominierung mit Begründung freuen! Das wäre sehr lieb :). Zur Frage ob gleich eine neue Nominierung oder später: Ich persönlich würde vielleicht etwa einen Monat warten, sonst könnte das zu aufdringlich wirken. Aber das obliegt Dir/Euch. Pinge/Pingt mich jedenfalls bitte bei einer Nominierung an :). Danke an alle und Grüße! Und wir sind etwas schlauer geworden :D --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 14:38, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

@PantheraLeo1359531: Danke für Deine Rückmeldung – dann machen wir das so! Danke auch an Kritzolina: Dank der Aussicht auf eine weitere Pro-Stimme lohnt sich die Re-Nominierung hoffentlich ;–). Herzliche Grüße von --Aristeas (talk) 19:48, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Danke auch :) --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 20:56, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
