Error en Plantilla:Ficha de localidad de España

De forma general los artículos que usan la plantilla Plantilla:Ficha de localidad de España (por ejemplo este) están dando fallo en dicha ficha en varios lugares, mediante el display del texto: "Parámetro de la propiedad no proporcionado" (subcabecera, banderas y escudos, "ubicación", etc). Creo que es reciente. No parece tratarse de una edición directa en la plantilla, sin modificar desde febrero. Desconozco cuál será la plantilla, módulo o lo-que-sea implicado. Si alguien supiera dónde está el error... Un saludo. strakhov (discusión) 13:46 1 may 2023 (UTC)

Creo que puede estar relacionado con este cambio. (cc. @Leoncastro:). strakhov (discusión) 13:55 1 may 2023 (UTC)

Módulo Sports table

Buenas. ¿Existe alguna forma de cambiar los encabezados que salen por defecto con ese módulo? Indica GF=goles a favor, GC=goles en contra y DG=diferencia de goles, lo cual sirve para el fútbol y algunos deoprtes, pero no para todos. ¿Se podría, por ejemplo para el baloncesto, hacer de alguna manera que sea PA=puntos anotados, PR=puntos recibidos y DP=diferencia de puntos (o alguna fórmula similar)? Un saludo: Alavense (discusión) 12:13 2 may 2023 (UTC)

@Alavense: Está escrito en las líneas 46-65 de Módulo:Sports table/WDL, se usa el parámetro |estilo_competicion=. Ahora mismo soporta los valores g, gol y goles para gol(es); p, punto y puntos para punto(s), y none para ocultar esas tres columnas de la tabla. Como dices, el comportamiento por defecto es el primero. Supongo que te vale con |estilo_competicion=puntos para lo que quieres, pero se puede añadir alguno más sin problemas. sasha 19:28 2 may 2023 (UTC)

Tech News: 2023-19

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

• When you close an image that is displayed via MediaViewer, it will now return to the wiki page instead of going back in your browser history. This feature request was voted #65 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [6]
• The SyntaxHighlight extension now supports wikitext as a selected language. Old alternatives that were used to highlight wikitext, such as html5, moin, and html+handlebars, can now be replaced. [7]
• Preloading text to new pages/sections now supports preloading from localized MediaWiki interface messages. Here is an example at the Czech Wikipedia that uses preload=MediaWiki:July. [8]

Problems

• Graph Extension update: Foundation developers have completed upgrading the visualization software to Vega5. Existing community graphs based on Vega2 are no longer compatible. Communities need to update local graphs and templates, and shared lua modules like de:Modul:Graph. The Vega Porting guide provides the most comprehensive detail on migration from Vega2 and here is an example migration. Vega5 has currently just been enabled on mediawiki.org to provide a test environment for communities. [9]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 May. It will be on all wikis from 11 May (calendar).
• Until now, all new OAuth apps went through manual review. Starting this week, apps using identification-only or basic authorizations will not require review. [10]

Future changes

• During the next year, MediaWiki will stop using IP addresses to identify logged-out users, and will start automatically assigning unique temporary usernames. Read more at IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Updates. You can join the discussion about the format of the temporary usernames. [11]
• There will be an A/B test on 10 Wikipedias where the Vector 2022 skin is the default skin. Half of logged-in desktop users will see an interface where the different parts of the page are more clearly separated. You can read more. [12][13]
• jquery.tipsy will be removed from the MediaWiki core. This will affect some user scripts. Many lines with .tipsy( can be commented out. OO.ui.PopupWidget can be used to keep things working like they are now. You can read more and read about how to find broken scripts. [14]

Ficha de estructura

Buenos días. La {{Ficha de estructura}}, cuando en Wikidata hay dos elementos enlazados en la propiedad «lleva el nombre de», tan solo lee uno para el campo «Nombrado por». ¿Habría posibilidad de retocarla para que los una con un «y» si son dos y con comas e «y» si son más? Gracias de antemano: Alavense (discusión) 05:50 10 may 2023 (UTC)

Posibilidad hay, pero primero deberíamos consultar a Strakhov el motivo por el que agregó el parámetro importando un único valor desde Wikidata. Que estas cosas las carga el diablo. -- Leoncastro (discusión) 16:11 10 may 2023 (UTC)

Hola. No me acuerdo, la verdad, pero supongo que lo puse así porque no me convencía la ficha como lugar donde recoger un histórico (en plan listín), de todos las entidades (patrocinadores incluidos) que pueden haber dado nombre a una estructura o lo que sea. Me parece bien explicarlo en el texto, con detalle, referencias y contexto, pero en la ficha no me funciona. Ni siquiera con paréntesis de años de inicio y fin me convencería, creo. Esto es, no me funciona p.ej. un "nombrado por=Comunidad de Madrid, Barclaycard y Wizink" para la ficha de este artículo, me resulta, no sé, un tanto pedestre. Por tanto creo que con mostrar el dador actual de nombre es suficiente (debería seleccionarse el de mayor rango (preferred), no sé si esto se contempla con lo de único valor o se limita a pillar el primero), es más, ni siquiera me parece en sí un parámetro super-relevante, ni con muchos ni con un único valor. Un saludo. strakhov (discusión) 18:16 10 may 2023 (UTC)

Automatic citations based on ISBN are broken

Apologies if this message does not reach you in your favorite language. You can help translate it centrally at Meta. Thanks for your help.

We have recently become unable to access the WorldCat API which provided the ability to generate citations using ISBN numbers. The Wikimedia Foundation's Editing team is investigating several options to restore the functionality, but will need to disable ISBN citation generation for now.

This affects citations made with the VisualEditor Automatic tab, and the use of the citoid API in gadgets and user scripts, such as the autofill button on refToolbar. Please note that all the other automatic ways of generating citations, including via URL or DOI, are still available.

You can keep updated on the situation via Phabricator, or by reading the next issues of m:Tech News. If you know of any users or groups who rely heavily on this feature (for instance, someone who has an upcoming editathon), I'd appreciate it if you shared this update with them.

Elitre (WMF), on behalf of the Editing team.

Concuerdo con Leoncastro; ¿no sería mejor "primer distrito electoral de Chile" como título? El título actual se ve torcido en mi navegador (Chrome para móviles, usando la versión de escritorio de Wikipedia – ver esta captura de pantalla). –FlyingAce^✈hola 00:30 13 may 2023 (UTC)

Yo no creé los artículos. Solo he visto que había un error gramatical ("1.º distrito" en vez de "1.ᵉʳ distrito") y he preguntado para hacer el traslado, pero manteniendo el formato. Un saludo, Echando una mano 00:41 13 may 2023 (UTC)

Población en la Ficha de localidad de España

Hola,

Vengo observando en los últimos días que, en los apartados "población" e "ine_año" de la plantilla:Ficha de localidad de España no aparecen las cifras, aunque estén incluidas. Tan sólo se ve un "hab.

Un millón de Ediciones Sugeridas

A finales de abril, ¡se superó el hito del millón de ediciones sugeridas!

• La herramienta de ediciones sugeridas (también conocida como tareas para personas recién llegadas) incrementó la activación entre las personas novatas en aproximadamente un 12%, lo que repercute en una mayor retención. (fuente)
• Las ediciones sugeridas aumentan el número de ediciones que las personas recién llegadas completan en sus dos primeras semanas y tienen un índice de reversiones relativamente bajo. (fuente)
• Las ediciones sugeridas están disponibles en todas las variantes lingüísticas de Wikipedia.
• Las nuevas ediciones sugeridas, como Añadir un enlace y Añadir una imagen, aún no se han implementado en todas las wikis, pero estas tareas estructuradas aumentan aún más la probabilidad de que las personas recién llegadas realicen su primera edición. (fuente)

Refuerzo positivo

Refuerzo positivo pretende animar a las personas nuevas que han visitado nuestra página de inicio y probado las herramientas de crecimiento a seguir editando.

• El nuevo módulo de impacto se activó en nuestras wikis piloto en diciembre de 2022, y ahora se está escalando a otras diez wikis. [20]
• Las funcionalidades para Subir de nivel están activadas en nuestras wikis piloto.
• Las funcionalidades de Agradecimientos personalizados se activaron en las wikis piloto el 24 de mayo. Las personas mentoras recibirán notificaciones semanales cuando algunas de las personas que mentorizan puedan ser "merecedores de agradecimiento". Podrán configurar sus preferencias de notificación o desactivar estas notificaciones.

Añadir una imagen

• Estamos creando una variante por secciones de la tarea "añadir una imagen". Se ha testado la precisión de las sugerencias, y el desarrollo de esta nueva tarea está muy avanzado. [21]

Otras actualizaciones

• Estamos activando progresivamente Añadir un enlace en más wikis. [22]
• Después de añadir Agradecer a los Cambios Recientes, Lista de Seguimiento y Especial:Contribuciones, investigamos el Uso de Agradecer en las wikis. No hay evidencia de que el número de agradecimientos aumentara después de añadir la función en más páginas.
• Ayudamos con la revisión de código para la Lista de Deseo de la Comunidad de 2023 para añadir Notificationes de ediciones en las páginas de usuario. [23]
• Hemos participado en varios eventos de la comunidad, que hemos documentado en nuestro informe de eventos con la comunidad del equipo Growth.

¿Qué es lo próximo en Growth?

• Compartimos una visión general de las ideas del plan anual de nuestro equipo, y hemos empezado una conversación con la comunidad sobre los potenciales proyectos. ¡Nos encantará conocer tu opinión!

Tech News: 2023-22

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

• Citations can once again be added automatically from ISBNs, thanks to Zotero's ISBN searches. The current data sources are the Library of Congress (United States), the Bibliothèque nationale de France (French National Library), and K10plus ISBN (German repository). Additional data source searches can be proposed to Zotero. The ISBN labels in the VisualEditor Automatic tab will reappear later this week. [24]
• The page Especial:EditarSeguimiento now has "Marcar todos" options to select all the pages within a namespace. This feature request was voted #161 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [25]

Problems

• For a few days earlier this month, the "Add interlanguage link" item in the Tools menu did not work properly. This has now been fixed. [26]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 May. It will be on all wikis from 1 June (calendar).
• VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on small and medium wikis this week. Large wikis will follow in the coming weeks. This is part of the effort to move Parsoid into MediaWiki core. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here.

Editcount

Traigo aquí, desde esta cuenta títere el problema: el editcount se encuentra presentando fallas, pues después de hacer un tanto de ediciones con mi cuenta principal (Leonpolanco), consulte mi editcount y está atorado en el número que me devolvió ayer 24 de mayo de 2023 (fecha local), a esa hora era ya 25 de mayo en UTC, siendo aproximadamente 3 de la tarde 25 de mayo aquí (9 de la noche en hora UTC), consulte el editcount y me devolvió el mismo número de ayer, hoy 25 de mayo (26 de mayo UTC) vuelvo a consultar el editcount y me vuelve a devolver el mismo número de ayer 24 de mayo (25 de mayo UTC) ¿Porqué está fallando el editcount? ¿Alguien le está dando mantenimiento para que vuelva a funcionar correctamente? Me aparece el nada grato mensaje Precaución: el retardo de replicación es alto, es posible que no se muestren los cambios más recientes con menos de 21 horas. León Polanco (discusión) 03:12 26 may 2023 (UTC)

Pues eso, Leonpolanco, que las ediciones no se cuentan hasta el día siguiente, y, además según el aviso la tarea está sobrecargada y lleva 21 horas de retraso. Entoces, con un día de conteo y otro casi de retraso, el número de ediciones no se refleja hasta pasados un par de días. Espero no tengas editcountitis. -- Leoncastro (discusión) 13:12 26 may 2023 (UTC)

¿Se puede ir a reportar a alguna parte? ¿Cómo cuantos días podría durar? --Леон Поланко говорит вам и слушает вас 18:58 26 may 2023 (UTC)

Tengo entendido que está reportado en phab:T337446. –FlyingAce^✈hola 00:34 28 may 2023 (UTC)

El mensaje acaba de cambiar, ahora aparece 500: Internal Server Error, y en la parte superior el mensaje The database servers that power XTools and many other tools are currently being rebuilt. This may cause downtime that is estimated to persist through around 2023-06-01. You can follow T337446 for updates (en español Los servidores de bases de datos que alimentan XTools y muchas otras herramientas se están reconstruyendo actualmente. Esto puede causar un tiempo de inactividad que se estima persistirá hasta alrededor del 2023-06-01. Puedes seguir T337446 para actualizaciones). Eso me apareció cuando intenté de nuevo consultar hoy 29 de mayo el editcount, tras casi una semana de fallo. --Леон Поланко говорит вам и слушает вас 01:47 30 may 2023 (UTC)
