Talk pages consultation - it is time to close the Phase 1!

Hello

Sorry to use English. Segíts lefordítani a saját nyelvedre. Thank you.

Community summaries are due by Saturday, April 6, 2019. It is now really time to close the conversations. We really thank everyone who has participated. Every opinion matters.

What is a community summary?

The goal of a community summary is to wrap up the discussions and provide a summary of what your participants said. That way, other communities can learn about your community's needs, concerns, and ideas. We have seen very different feedback on different wikis, and it is time to discover what everyone thinks!

Please include in that summary:

• every perspective or idea your community had, and
• how frequent each idea was; for example,
  • how many users shared a given opinion
  • whether an idea was more common among different types of contributors (newcomers, beginners, experienced editors...)

You can add as much detail as you want in that summary.

Please post it on the page for community summaries, using the most international English you have.

Can't the Wikimedia Foundation read all the feedback?

We are trying, but we really need your help. For most conversations, we have to use machine translation, which has limitations. This can help us find the most common needs or global ideas. Machine translation is useful, but it does not tell us how people are feeling or what makes your community unique.

Your community summary should be built from your community's perspective, experience and culture. You might also know of relevant discussions in other places, which we did not find (for example, perhaps someone left a note on your user talk page – it is okay to include that!). Your summary is extremely important to us.

What are the next steps?

Phase 2 will happen in April. We will analyze the individual feedback, your community summary, and some user testing. We hope to have a clear view of everyone's ideas and needs at the end of April.

Some ideas generated during phase 1 may be mutually exclusive. Some ideas might work better for some purposes or some kinds of users. During Phase 2, we'll all talk about which problems are more urgent, which projects are most closely aligned with the overall needs and goals of the movement, and which ideas we should focus on first.

Discussions about these ideas may be shaped and be moderated by the Wikimedia Foundation, guided by our decision criteria, listed on the project page.

How can I help now?

• Please provide the summary. :)
• While we study the feedback, we may ask you for more information.
• We will need your help for Phase 2 as well, probably to translate or publicize some future materials we may have.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Thank you again for your help, Trizek (WMF) ^vita 2019. április 5., 17:24 (CEST)

Összeírtam itt néhány itt és máshol felvetett ötletet, problémát és kérést. Samat ^{üzenetrögzítő} 2019. április 10., 22:54 (CEST)

Encouraging more users

Right now, 74 people have opted in (including me). Would it be appropriate to encourage more editors, and perhaps some less-experienced people, to try it out? I'm specifically wondering whether it might make things easier for the Wikipédia:Kocsmafal (kezdőknek). At the English Wikipedia's Teahouse, new people often have trouble figuring out how to sign their replies. Whatamidoing (WMF) ^vita 2020. április 16., 21:40 (CEST)

Szerkesztő:Tgr, Szerkesztő:Wikizoli, Szerkesztő:Misibacsi, Szerkesztő:Tacsipacsi, Szerkesztő:Palotabarát, Szerkesztő:Burumbátor, Szerkesztő:RuIsZa: I know you have all been active at the page for beginners, and some of you have tried out the new Discussion Tools beta feature, but I don't see any edits with the new Reply tool at Wikipédia:Kocsmafal (kezdőknek). Do you think it would be helpful there? Would you recommend it? Whatamidoing (WMF) ^vita 2020. április 20., 20:42 (CEST)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): yeah, it's better than nothing, I think. I would still prefer Flow, but oh well.

FWIW all the sections starting with "Kérdés a(z)" come from GrowthExperiments (which has its own comment box and autosiging), and the ones starting with "Mentorkeresés" are coming from a template with text preload. Can we send people right into the new interface directly via an edit link? Does it support opening new sections at all? --Tgr^vita 2020. április 20., 22:47 (CEST)

Also, it's important to make sure people are pinged, which the tool doesn't support. I filed T250914 about that. --Tgr^vita 2020. április 22., 17:02 (CEST)

@Tgr: On my side I do not support automated pinging for each reply, it just increases the noise level. Today we are able to ping someone in the text and in the edit summary if we want to. If we are able to do the same with the new tool, it must be enough, otherwise it’s up to the watchlist. Pasztilla 2020. április 22., 17:09 (CEST)

Tgr, they're looking at a non-automatic pinging system. I think the first step will be a quick, simple search, similar to what happens when I type @Tgr on Phabricator. They've talked about always pinging, but it could be annoying. Perhaps a middle ground would be a button to add the ping? (Then you would only use the search if you want to ping a third person.) Whatamidoing (WMF) ^vita 2020. április 23., 04:35 (CEST)

(I see that I still need to re-train my fingers to click the 'Reply' button instead of the 'Edit source' button...) Whatamidoing (WMF) ^vita 2020. április 23., 04:36 (CEST)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): yeah the new @-autocompletion UX is pretty cool. I was more thinking of making sure the interface reminds people that they need to ping (or, if they are new, explains the relevance). A button would be a good start, also some kind of warning shown above/below the edit area (maybe depending on your edit count, or only once). Tgr^vita 2020. április 23., 10:57 (CEST)

Tgr, I'm looking forward to the @-mention, too. Unfortunately, last week's deployment train derailed, so the code for testing that isn't here yet per https://versions.toolforge.org Whatamidoing (WMF) ^vita 2020. május 18., 21:11 (CEST)

Last call

Is version 2.0 good enough? The devs ask us whether the visual mode is satisfactory. I think it is satisfactory, but your opinion is more important. We have this week to decide. If it is good, then next Monday (15 June) they will put it in the regular wikitech:deployment train, and "version 2.0" will be turned on next Thursday (18 June) for everyone who already has the Beta Feature enabled.

You can test it on this page with this link: https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia-vita:Konzultáció_a_vitalapokról_és_a_közösségi_kommunikációról?dtvisual=1 You might need to switch to the visual mode to see what's new.

So: Are there any significant problems? Is there anything you need, before the visual mode is available to you all the time, without having to type ?dtvisual=1 each time? (Please ping me, or "@ me" in the new visual mode.) Whatamidoing (WMF) ^vita 2020. június 9., 01:28 (CEST)

@Samat, @Tacsipacsi, @Pasztilla: What do you think? Whatamidoing (WMF) ^vita 2020. június 9., 02:15 (CEST)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): No release-critical bugs so far, although having to modify the URL makes me test a lot less than I would when it’s released as a beta feature. One bug I noticed was that when I started writing this comment, I typed ~~~~ in source mode, and after switching to visual mode, it was nowiki’d. (I like to write my signature prefixed with U+2013 U+00A0, so I manually type it in whole.) It’s a little annoying, but I don’t think it will effect many people. One more thing that would be nice is to support the {{válasz}}^(?) template that I used in this comment when writing @-mentions. It’s less verbose and we’re more used to it than having the whole link syntax in comment wikitext. (Flow has a {{FlowMention}} template with a bit different syntax and no automatic colon at the end, but {{válasz}}^(?) is far more used, so I prefer that.) —Tacsipacsi ^vita 2020. június 11., 15:40 (CEST)

I'm not sure that the hassle of installing and maintaining the templates on hundreds of wikis is worth the benefit. They might create a parser function (but that means having English everywhere, which is another problem). If we had mw:Global templates, I'd probably feel differently about the templates. Whatamidoing (WMF) ^vita 2020. június 12., 21:04 (CEST)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): I haven't had time for advanced testing, but it worked ok when I tried. If nothing comes to the surface until then, let's say it is fine for the beta feature ;) Samat ^{üzenetrögzítő} 2020. június 11., 22:40 (CEST)

One thing I found, that if I write a text with code at the end, I could not step out from it.

I realized later, that the new line (enter) breaks this syntax, but it is annoying if you don't find it out. Samat ^{üzenetrögzítő} 2020. június 11., 22:46 (CEST)

An other thing, that the floating pop-up button of the Growth experiments' help panel often covers the Reply button, and it happened several times that I clicked on it instead of the Reply button. But this is more a problem which comes from the Growth experiments, and both are new features only for opt-in contributors, therefore it does not effect too many editors and I expect the issue will be solved in the future.
