Hallo THE IT, vorab die besten Wünsche für 2018.
Ich quäle mich gerade ab mit den Gemeinen Freien 2018. Beim Rubrizierten kapituliere ich. Die Vorlage S IV S. 51ff habe ich zwar in Commons hochgeladen, doch es will mir nicht gelingen, sie dann auch mit dem Lemma selbst zu verlinken. Wie kriege ich das hin? --Pfaerrich (Diskussion) 17:28, 3. Jan. 2018 (CET)
- Lieber Pfaerrich, deinen beiden Dateien fehlt leider jeweils ein komma. Ich würde das auch direct korrigieren, aber ich sitze am Handy. Ich schaue mal was geht... würdest du auch aus deinen Vierer-Seiten noch 2-Seiten machen? --THE IT (Diskussion) 17:48, 3. Jan. 2018 (CET)
- Datei 1 habe ich beantragt. Bei Datei 2 bin ich leider gescheitert. --THE IT (Diskussion) 18:05, 3. Jan. 2018 (CET)
- Habe auch die Zweite Umbennenung beauftragt. --THE IT (Diskussion) 23:27, 3. Jan. 2018 (CET)

- Filters on Special:RecentChangesLinked will get the new look similar to on the recent changes page. Special:RecentChangesLinked will also get some new features. [1][2]
Problems
- With the new OOUI look menus and popups can open upwards instead of downwards. This was meant to make long dropdown menus easier to use. Sometimes these menus have been overlapped by other things. This is now fixed. [3]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 24 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
irc.wikimedia.org

Recent changes
- The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed. [12][13]
- You can now see statistics for pageviews per wiki per country. You can see this on maps or in a table. [14]
Problems
- Linter is reporting estimated counts instead of actual counts for some wikis. This is because of performance problems. You might notice a false higher number in linter counts for some categories. This will be fixed as soon as the performance problem has been fixed. [15]
- Last week the way that Visual Editor displays references lists was changed. As a result, the references generated by specific templates like
{{sfn}}
are not visible in the references list whilst editing. [16][17]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 February. It will be on all wikis from 22 February (calendar).

Wikisource-RefTag
Hi, du hattest mir neulich einmal hilfreich hinterhergeräumt ([19]), könntest du das auch noch mal für zwei Seiten aus [diesem Projekt] tun? E 65 und 76 bekomme ich nicht gebacken. Danke! --Enyavar (Diskussion) 14:04, 20. Feb. 2018 (CET)
- Auf Seite E65 war nicht allein der Fehler, sondern schon einige Seiten vorher. Habe mal die Formatierung der beiden Seiten geändert, schaut jetzt gut aus (?); ebenso auf Seite E76. Außerdem war im Gesammttext die Anmerkung vor "BlockSatzEnd" gesetzt, habe die danach eingefügt und ich denke, jetzt ist alles gut wie es ist. Gruß -- Peter-K (Diskussion) 15:46, 20. Feb. 2018 (CET)

Recent changes
- Checkusers and stewards can now view private data such as the IP address in the abuse log. This data is removed regularly. [20]
Problems
- Last week's MediaWiki version was rolled back because of a bug. [21][22]
- Since the deployment train last week until late evening on 20 February UTC, when you thanked someone for an edit, the thank went to the latest unthanked edit to that page. It didn't matter which edit you tried to give thanks for. This has been fixed. [23]
- Special:Statistics did not take newly created pages into account since 13 February 2018. Because of this the statistics are recreated. [24][25][26]
Changes later this week
- Users with version 10 of the Internet Explorer browser will no longer get JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis. If you use this browser on your computer, you can try upgrading to a newer version. [27]
- The Wikinews wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 27 February. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [28][29]

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
- On Wikidata, the "speichern" button when you edit is now called "veröffentlichen". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "Seite speichern" to "Änderungen veröffentlichen". This is to help new editors understand what it does. [30][31]
- Some edits will get an automatic tag on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways. [32]
- Special:UnusedFiles shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons only shows files that are not used on any wiki. [33]
- Structured discussions now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation has been updated. [34][35]
Problems
- Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work. The developers are looking into the problem. [36]
- With the new filters in the recent changes, "Ausgewählte ausschließen" in "Namensräume" did not work for "Gespeicherte Filter" between 13 December and 2 January. When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again. [37]
- The latest version of Google Chrome broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see
#R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9
instead of#Résumé
even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March). [38] - Some POST requests to the API took longer than usual in parts of December. This affected the Wikidata UI and some gadgets the most. It has now been fixed. [39]
Changes later this week
- Wikidata will be moved to its own database servers. This is because it is growing and needs more resources. Because of this you will be able to read but not edit Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis. [40]
- The font size in the editing window will change slightly for some users. It will now look the same on all browsers and operating systems. [41][42]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 January. It will be on all wikis from 11 January (calendar).
- WikiEditor's ResourceLoader modules have been simplified to one:
ext.wikiEditor
. All the other modules are now deprecated aliases and should be removed. [43]
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 9 January at 19:30 (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 10 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

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
- Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to. [44]
- The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language. [45]
- Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded. [46]
Problems
- Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this. [47]
Changes later this week
- When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users. [48]
- When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like
gallery widths="150px"
. You could useem
or%
instead ofpx
but it would make no difference. You can now only use150px
or nothing (150
). If you write something else, instead of treating it likepx
, it will not work. [49] - The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of
Ja
orNein
it will sayThank
andCancel
. It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public. [50] - Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it. [51]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar).

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
- TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator. [54][55][56]
- Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.
Changes later this week
- You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages. [57]
- The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like
{{reflist}}
, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates. [58] - The abuse filter extension has a new feature
contains_all
that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. [59] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar).

Automatische Verlinkung von Orten auf Autorenseiten
Hi THE IT, ein Problem tut sich bei Ludwig Seeger auf, wo der Geburtsort Wildbad automatisch auf den GL-Artikel Wildbad verlinkt. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, das zu verhindern? Viele Grüße --Dorades (Diskussion) 19:10, 2. Mär. 2018 (CET)
- bisher gibt es die technisch nicht ... . Ich würde hier auch eher das Problem in der Bezeichnung des GL-Artikels sehen. Soll wirklich der GL-Artikel das Lemma eines Ortes "verbrauchen"? --THE IT (Diskussion) 15:57, 4. Mär. 2018 (CET)
- Wenn es die Ansetzungsform wäre, die wir für die Ortsseite gebrauchen würden, würde ich dir sofort zustimmen, aber der Ort heißt seit 1990 Bad Wildbad. Aber am praktikabelsten wäre es wohl trotzdem, den GL-Artikel zu verschieben, richtig? --Dorades (Diskussion) 17:39, 4. Mär. 2018 (CET)
- Ich fürchte leider ja. Ansonsten bräuchte ich da jetzt einen Zusatzparameter, ala "NO_LINK", das wird irgendwann sehr sehr unübersichtlich. --THE IT (Diskussion) 19:39, 4. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Changes later this week
- You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. [62]
- On Special:AbuseLog you can now choose to list only actions that actually made an edit. Other actions are when the filter warned the editor or blocked the edit from being made. There are also more search options. [63][64]
- Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor, but it is complex. The tool will now warn in the JavaScript console if the configuration isn't correct. Soon Citoid will disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [65]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 March. It will be on all wikis from 8 March (calendar).

Future changes
- In the future you will be able to use global preferences. This means you could change a preference for all wikis instead of having to change it every time for each wiki. You can now test global preferences and give feedback.
- You can now read about planned works on maps during 2018. This will be done by June. You can give feedback on the planned maps work.

Update GL-Hefte
Hi THE IT, da scheint etwas schief gelaufen zu sein. VG --Dorades (Diskussion) 16:51, 10. Mär. 2018 (CET)
- Hallo Dorades, danke für den Hinweis. Ich hatte es auch bemerkt... und repariert. In ca. 17 h sollten alle Seiten wieder korrekt sein. Es ist gut zu wissen, dass einem kritisch über die Schulter geschaut wird ;-). --THE IT (Diskussion) 00:11, 11. Mär. 2018 (CET)
- Ok, dann sorry für die überflüssige Meldung. :-) Ich stolperte nur drüber, da ich das ein oder andere Heft in meiner Beobachtungsliste habe, deine Arbeit kontrolliere ich nicht prinzipiell. ;-) --Dorades (Diskussion) 19:44, 11. Mär. 2018 (CET)
- Ich meinte das aber tatsächlich positiv, denn es ist ja auch deprimierend, wenn man etwas baut und erstellt, was niemand bemerkt. --THE IT (Diskussion) 17:35, 23. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Recent changes
- 3D models can now be uploaded to Commons. [66]

- Some edits have to be checked against too many conditions before they can trigger an abuse filter. If that is the reason no filter is triggered the edit will be tagged for review. [68]
- Auto-saving has been added to the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. Right now it is meant to help if your browser crashes or if you accidentally close a tab. [69]
Problems
- The abuse filter did not tag all edits that should have been tagged after last week's MediaWiki version had come to the wikis. It was fixed on 9 March (UTC). [70]
Changes later this week
- You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. This was originally planned to happen last week. [71]
- It is now possible to specify the block parameters for each filter in Special:AbuseFilter. The parameters include block duration and if the user should be blocked from editing their own talk page. The block duration is separate for anonymous and registered users. [72][73]
- A hundred Wikimedia wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 13 and 14 March. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [74][75][76]

- The Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey is to be sent to participants around the world this week. If you are volunteer developer, and have contributed code to any pieces of MediaWiki, gadgets, or tools, please take 20 to 40 minutes to complete the survey.
Problems
- MediaWiki deployment train has been rolled back to version 1.31.0-wmf.26 on week 13, due to a multiplication of lost connections during MySQL queries. Some of the recent changes may have not been applied. They will be deployed next week. [80][81][82]

to do this without concerns. [84] - Tidy will be replaced by RemexHtml on the next set of wikis. On April 4, we plan to turn off Tidy on all Wikiquotes (except frwikiquote) and Wikimedia chapters and user groups wikis. 23 wikis will have Tidy replaced this time. [85][86][87]
- AbuseFilter will transition to use OOUI starting April 4, and the rule editor will also be changed to a CodeEditor (ACE) similar to what is found on user JavaScript pages. The move to OOUI will continue over the next few weeks. [88] [89]
- In Special:Preferences, the preference "Sofern ein Filter geändert wurde, die Beobachtungsliste automatisch neu laden (erfordert JavaScript)" is now only visible for users who have opt-out the New Filters for the Watchlist. [90]
- You can see names of individual abuse filters in Special:AbuseLog. Now if the name of an abuse filter contains some wikisyntax like links, it will not change to a link when displayed. [91]
- You can now search through filter patterns at Special:AbuseFilter. You may specify either a plain string or a regular expression and the matching filters will show a snippet of their pattern with the match highlighted. [92]
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 3 April 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 4 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- If you're using, creating or improving Lua modules, you can give your feedback to help harmonizing the modules across wikis and add more useful functions.
- On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with less than 50 entries in all high priority linter categories. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml by end of June 2018. Please follow T175706 to monitor progress of Tidy replacement. [93][94]

- Ich habe geschaut und das waren simple Netzwerkprobleme. Ich hätte aber erst 5 Tage später den Lauf erneut anstoßen können und da wir einen Eintrag 5 Tage früher hatten fand ich das ok den automatischen Eintrag weg zu lassen ... aber moment da fällt mir ein ... er macht ja nicht nur den Tabellenzeileneintrag.

Wackernagel
Hallo THE IT. Long time no see. Die Bearbeitung des Projekts ist etwas ins Stocken geraten, wir haben aber immer noch den Ehrgeinz, das abzuschliessen. Könntest Du mir bitte zu diesem Behuf von Index:Wackernagel Geschichte der Stadt Basel Band 3.pdf die Seiten 546 bis 654 nochmals zur offline-Bearbeitung extrahieren und nach Bearbeitung wieder einfüllen. Sorry für den Aufwand, die Makros für die offline-Bearbeitung habe ich erst nach der Erstbefülllung entwickelt. Und das Leeren und Einfüllen wäre wirklich eine Funktion, die ich gerne selbst können würde. freundliche Grüsse, --UBBasel-408 (Diskussion) 15:58, 23. Mär. 2018 (CET)
- Oha das ist ja wirklich schon lange her. Ich bin aber gerade etwas verwirrt. Auf dem Index gibt es die gewünschten Seiten leider nicht. --THE IT (Diskussion) 17:32, 23. Mär. 2018 (CET)

Hallo THE IT. Selber sorry ;->. Meine Schuld, Ich war zulange aus der Materie und hatte einen Denkfehler. Gedacht war tatsächlich enbloc rausholen, manipulieren, reinfüllen. Da aber bis auf die erste Seite noch gar keine wiki-Formatierung im Text steht, kann ich mir den (Quell-)Text über Geschichte_der_Stadt_Basel._Dritter_Band/Anmerkungen_und_Belege selbst holen. Und für 100 Seiten wiedereinfüllen musst Du auch die Programmierung nicht anschmeissen. Merci und sorry, wir kommen dann mit dem letzten Band nochmals auf Dich, wenn wir dürfen. --UBBasel-408 (Diskussion) 16:37, 24. Mär. 2018 (CET)

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
- The parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [95]
Problems
- We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [96]
Changes later this week
- You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [97]
- When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [98]
- You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the Bearbeiten section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [99]
- There is a new abuse filter function called
equals_to_any
. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===
) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org. - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).
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 1 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
- The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jhareVorlage:@wikimedia.org to leave private feedback.
- All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [100][101][102]

Changes later this week
- Some of the interface icons and text sizes will change slightly, as part of the updates for improved accessibility and consistency. These icons are used in many features, including Notifications, Recent Changes, Beta Features, Visual Editor, 2017 Wikitext Editor, Code Editor, and others. While editor toolbars, dialogs, and menus will appear slightly bigger; elements on special pages will be slightly smaller. Functionality will not change. [105] [106]
- The deprecated #toc and #toctitle CSS ids have been removed. If your wiki was still using these for fake Tables of Content (ToC) then these might lose their styling. They can be replaced with .toc and .toctitle classes where appropriate. [107]
- TemplateStyles will be deployed to the Wikivoyages on 28 March 2018. [108]

We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a maintenance script to update existing database entries. This will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on wiki size. Read more details. [109]
- Changes are coming to search for Serbian projects. Cyrillic and Latin variants of a word and different grammatical forms of a word will be able to find each other. Read more on MediaWiki in Serbian or English.

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
- Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [110]
- You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [111]
- The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [112]
- Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [113]
Problems
- The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [114]
- For a week in March rollbacks got both the
rollback
and theundo
tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [115]

Changes later this week
- Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [117]
- Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (
===
and!==
) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [118][119] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 April. It will be on all wikis from 19 April (calendar).

Orbis Pictus
Hallo THE IT, ich bin jetzt durch mit allen noch nicht korrekturgelesenen Seiten beim Orbis Pictus. Es ging wirklich relativ schnell, denn die Seiten sind nicht wirklich groß (und mich wundert doch, dass so etwas jahrelang vor sich hindämmert). Aber man muss teuflisch aufpassen, damit man nicht Kleinigkeiten wie Kommas oder ähnliches übersieht, also einfach war es auch nicht. Du kannst jetzt Deine Skript-Geschichte machen, aber ich hätte noch zwei Anmerkungen:
- - Auf der Seite 315 gehört etwa in der Mitte der Seite zwischen dem Ende des lateinischen Registers und dem Beginn des deutschen Registers eine horizontale Linie gezogen. Ich habe es versucht, aber ich bekomme die Formatierungsanweisungen einfach nicht hin. Kannst Du das bitte machen?
- - Ich habe bei Stichproben-Kontrollen der bereits fertiggelesenen Seiten doch noch ziemlich viele übersehene Stellen gefunden, wo eine Korrektur im kleinen Detail (z.B. fehlendes oder überflüssiges Komma, kleine Buchstaben-Lesefehler, Formatierungsdinge usw.) trotz allem noch erforderlich ist. Ich würde daher gerne die ganzen Seiten (die ich noch nicht korrekturgelesen habe) noch einmal im Schnelldurchgang überprüfen. Wenn du mit Deinen Abschlussarbeiten noch solange warten willst, gebe ich Dir anschließend noch einmal Bescheid. Wenn das egal ist, mache ich es nach und nach.
Viele Grüße, --Ayyur (Diskussion) 17:16, 28. Apr. 2018 (CEST)
- das ist egal. Mache es einfach nach und nach. Ich danke dir sehr für deinen Einsatz. Es ist halt immer das selbe Problem, es muss sich einer finden, der es macht. Von daher nochmal vielen Dank, dass du geholfen hast, das Projekt zusenden zu bringen. --THE IT (Diskussion) 00:30, 29. Apr. 2018 (CEST)
Hallo THE IT, ich habe inzwischen die Schnelldurchsicht aller (!) Seiten durchgeführt. Die Fertigstellung in ein "Abgeschlossenes Projekt" (ich weiß nicht, wie man das nennt) mit jeweils einer Webseite pro Kapitel sieht jetzt sehr gut aus und lässt sich gut "blättern" und navigieren. Es gibt aber ein paar Dinge, die mir schon aufgefallen sind: Siehe dazu die Diskussionsseite des Projekts. Viele Grüße, --Ayyur (Diskussion) 13:15, 1. Mai 2018 (CEST)
Gut, jetzt sieht es besser aus auf den meisten Seiten. Aber auf der Titelseite hauen immer noch die "Anmerkungen (Wikisource)" in den fortlaufenden Text rein. Gruß, --Ayyur (Diskussion) 17:41, 1. Mai 2018 (CEST)

Recent changes
- The Wikimedia Commons mobile app has a new version. It is now easier to find nearby places that need pictures. It helps you with direct uploads and title and category suggestions. The app only works on Android phones. [125]
Problems
- The abuse filters had a problem with blocks where you had changed how long they last. It used the default length everywhere. This was in late April. Abuse filter users should make sure the right block length is used and change them if needed. This is only for filters where how long blocks last had been changed. [126]
Changes later this week
- The advanced search function beta feature will be on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. [127]

Was stört Dich?
ich sehe, dass Du so Dinge, wie Leerzeichen hinter geschweifter Klammer per bot entfernst. Hat das irgendwelche gravierende Bewandtnis, wenn das Leerzeichen stehen bleibt? --Pfaerrich (Diskussion) 15:04, 23. Mai 2018 (CEST)
- Das ist könnte man sagen eher ein Nebeneffekt. Ich habe mir ein Programm geschrieben, was eine komplette RE-Seite in ein Format überführen kann, was von einem Algorithmus gut verarbeitbar ist ... bei Interesse [130]. Dies dient in weiteren Schritten der automatischen Bearbeitung von "richtigen" Aufgaben. Momentan lasse ich es im Trockenlauf laufen um zu sehen, ob ich noch Fehler habe. Wenn der Algorithmus dann den Text zurückschreibt tut er das in einem für ihn genormten Format. Dadurch hat es für dich den Anschein, dass er die Leerzeichen Tabs und Umbrüche korrigiert ... das ist aber nur ein Nebeneffekt seiner Verarbeitung. Du kannst also einfach so fortfahren, wie bisher. Vielleicht noch als Denkanstoß: Hast du irgendwelche nervigen Aufgaben in der RE, die du gerne automatisieren möchtest? Gruß --THE IT (Diskussion) 18:34, 23. Mai 2018 (CEST)

Hallo THE IT, ich habe alle Seiten des Projekts Geschichte Dithmarschens fertig korrekturgelesen. Du kannst wieder Deine Skripte darüberlaufen lassen. Viele Grüße, --Ayyur (Diskussion) 11:54, 14. Jun. 2018 (CEST)
- Hallo Ayyur, welches Skript meinst du genau? Du kannst einfach den Haupttext auf fertig setzen. Gruß --THE IT (Diskussion) 17:34, 14. Jun. 2018 (CEST)
Das weiß ich doch nicht. Beim Orbis sensualium pictus hast Du mich gebeten Bescheid zu sagen, wenn es fertig ist, weil Du "Deine Skripte darüberlaufen lassen" wolltest. Ich habe keine Ahnung, was da für abschließende (automatisierte) Tätigkeiten durchgeführt werden müssen. ;-) Viele Grüße, --Ayyur (Diskussion) 18:30, 14. Jun. 2018 (CEST)
- Das gab es nur dort, weil es dort so viele Unterseiten gab, die alle händisch setzten zu müssen wäre zu mühselig gewesen. Hier kannst du hingegen einfach den Korrekturstand setzen und fertig. --THE IT (Diskussion) 23:13, 14. Jun. 2018 (CEST)

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
- The MonoBook skin has been optimised for mobile devices. It now looks different. [131]
- Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [132][133]
- Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [134]
Problems
- You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them.
- MassMessage did not work 24–28 May. This is also why last week's Tech News was late. [135]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 June. It will be on all wikis from 7 June (calendar).
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 5 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Recent changes
- Syntax highlighting has been a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It is now a normal feature. It is based on CodeMirror. [143]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
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 19 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
- Some old web browsers will not be able to read the Wikimedia wikis. This is because they use an insecure way to connect to them. This means that we get less security for everyone else too. This affects about 0.08% of all traffic to the Wikimedia wikis. This affects for example those who read Wikipedia on a PlayStation 3. [144][145]
- The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. Because there is no new MediaWiki version this week it will happen on 25 June for most wikis. For the rest it will happen in early July. [146][147]
- All wikis that have not already done so will switch to use the Remex parsing library on 5 July. This is to replace Tidy. You can help fix remaining errors. [148]

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 now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [149][150]
- It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [151]
- Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words.
- There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [152]
- Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [153]
- There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [154]
Problems
- Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [155]
Changes later this week
- There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [156]
- A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [157]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 May. It will be on all wikis from 31 May (calendar).
- Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [158]
Meetings

Future changes
- Content Translation drafts which have not been updated in over a year will be removed. This allows other users to translate those articles. [159]
- A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [160]
- Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. [161][162]

RE:Sophokles 1 - Polytonisch nimmt überhand
Hallo THE IT,
je weiter ich in diesem Werk vorankomme, um so beschwerlicher wird es mir gemacht. So verschwinden neuerdings die Formatierungshilfen und ich muss jetzt wieder Polytonisch und SperrSchrift ganz von Hand eingeben, weil sie einfach vom Bildschirm verschwunden sind. Ich habe mich daher entschlossen, künftig auf Polytonischformatierung bei Werken wie diesem oder bei Delphoi zu verzichten, auch wenn das auf Widerspruch stoßen könnte. Ich bin es Leid, nachprüfen zu müssen, wie bei Delphoi, ob alle von mir erfassten Seiten dann auch tatsächlich wiedergegeben werden.
Kannst du mir den Gefallen tun, alle Polytonisch-Formatierungen aus diesen beiden Lemmata zu eliminieren? danke im Voraus und mfG --Pfaerrich (Diskussion) 17:42, 6. Aug. 2018 (CEST)
- das werde ich gerne tun. --THE IT (Diskussion) 18:26, 6. Aug. 2018 (CEST)

You can read the migration guide to fix old scripts. [208]

- Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [256]
- Kleine SVG-Dateien werden nun größer angezeigt, wenn man sie im MediaViewer betrachtet. [257]
- Man kann jetzt direkt in den bearbeiteten Abschnitt gelangen, wenn man auf den Abschnittsnamen im Bearbeitungskommentar klickt. Vorher musste man auf den kleinen Pfeil (→) klicken. [258]
- Wenn man auf eine Fußnote klickte, die mehrfach im Artikel genutzt wurde, war es schwierig wieder zur vorherigen Textstelle zu gelangen. Jetzt wird der entsprechende Buchstabe gefettet und ein Pfeil am Anfang der Fußnote bietet einen Link zurück zur entsprechenden Textstelle. (WP:Technische Wünsche) [259][260]

- New accounts will need passwords that are at least 8 characters long. Admins, interface admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, CentralNotice admins, global renamers, check users, stewards and some other user groups will need passwords that are at least 10 characters long. This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [261][262]
- Wenn man den Mauszeiger über einen Fußnotenmarker fährt, wird die Fußnote in einem kleinen Popup-Fenster angezeigt, damit man nicht zum Ende der Seite wechseln muss, um die Fußnote zu lesen. Die Aktivierung dieser Funktion ist für 2019 geplant. Einige Wikis haben bereits Gadgets, die sowas machen. Die Funktion wird deaktivierbar sein. (WP:Technische Wünsche) [263]

- Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [266]
- The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.
Probleme
<ref>

RE:Delphoi
Hallo THE IT,
mit diesem Werk habe ich so meine Last, und diese nimmt immer mehr zu, je weiter ich mit den einzelnen Seiten komme. In der Zwischenzeit bin ich gezwungenermaßen bei Kapitel VII angekommen, weil ich feststellen musste, dass mir ganze Teile von Delphoi VI, obwohl so weit ich das überblicken kann, korrekt eingegeben, dann nach Freigabe einfach nicht mehr wiedergegeben wurden. Als ich dann einen Teil auf Delphoi VII auslagerte, wurde es wieder sichtbar. Ich vermute mal, dass durch die notwendige dauernde Umschaltung von deutsch auf polytonisch das System überlastet wird und streikt, oder sollte ich irren und der Fehler liegt an einer ganz anderen Stelle?
Das Problem wird sich, wenn meine Vermutung zutrifft, noch deutlich steigern, denn noch weit mehr als 100 Spalten warten à la longue auf Bearbeitung, was dann ein noch scheußlicheres Bild auf der Ausgangsseite RE:Delphoi erzeugt. Ich denke, unser derzeitiges System kommt mit Werken wie diesem nicht zurecht.
Bleibt mir eigentlich nur noch die Möglichkeit, auf polytonisch komplett zu verzichten oder auch die deutschen Texte im polytonischen Teil unterzubrigen, beides wird mir Ärger von Dritter Seite einbringen. Was tun?
und wenn ich schon am Kreischen bin: bei Delphoi V habe ich schlicht die volle Breite der Seite in Anspruch nehmen müssen, weil die 2/3-Breite schlicht nicht ausreichte, eine brauchbare Darstellung zustande zu bringen. Spricht etwas dagegen? --Pfaerrich (Diskussion) 20:54, 3. Jun. 2018 (CEST)
- Hallo Pfaerrich,
- das hast du Recht das ist ja wirklich ein ganz gewaltiger Klopper. Wir brauchen wohl langsam eine Vorlage für die Unterseiten. Kann man dieses Monstrum vernünftig auf Kapitel aufspalten und dann aus dem Hauptartikel nur auf die Unterseiten verlinken. Dann wäre mein Vorschlag das der Hauptartikel nur das Inhaltsverzeichnis hat und auf seine Unterseiten verlinkt.
- Klar wenn du die volle Breite brauchst nutze Sie.

Gelöschtes - scans
Hallo THE IT,
könntest Du bitte den Text von Sangaller Schularbeit vollständig kopieren und in Benutzer:Darumeis/Texte als == Sangaller Schularbeit == am Ende einfügen? Ich würde dann nach scans suchen.
Für Wikisource:Löschkandidaten/Archiv/2017/4#Zürcher Diskußjonen No. 13–15 konnte ich Digitalisate finden, vgl. Zürcher Diskußjonen#Digitalisate (die Digitalisate Google-USA* Google-USA* enthalten auch No. 13–15 "Karl Ludwig Sand eine biografisch-psichologische Darstellung von Louis Andrée (Paris)").
-Darumeis (Diskussion) 19:00, 7. Jul. 2018 (CEST)
- sorry, da war ich wohl zu langsam ;-)
- Leider nicht. Benutzer:Darumeis/Texte wurde schon früher angelegt und enthält (noch) nicht den Inhalt aus Sangaller Schularbeit.
Mit Adminrechten ist es doch möglich, die alte gelöschte Seite zu betrachten und den alten Quelltext einmal zu kopieren? Oder sollte es wiederhergestellt und nach Benutzer:Darumeis/Texte2 verschoben werden? Zürcher Diskußjonen No. 13–15 könnte dann ebenso Benutzer:Darumeis/Texte3 werden. Ich könnte, falls nötig, den Text der Zürcher Diskußjonen ergänzen oder korrigieren und auf Digitalisate verweisen. Zu proxies (z.B. Firefox + FoxyProxy + www.us-proxy.org (www.proxy-listen.de/Proxy/Proxyliste.html)) könnte ich auch noch was sagen, aber mit dem Entfernen von Wasserzeichen (z.B. "Digitalisiert von Google" bzw. "Digitalized by Google") und Einbinden der scans in wikisouce kenne ich mich nicht aus. -Darumeis (Diskussion) 17:56, 9. Jul. 2018 (CEST)- habe sie dir wiederhergestellt und auf deinem Benutzerbereich abgelegt. Wenn sie dem Standard dann genügen kannst du sie nochmal vorstellen. was bereitet dir bei der aufarbeitung konkret probleme, dann versuche ich zu helfen. --THE IT (Diskussion) 18:47, 9.

- Vielen Dank!
- Digitalisate verlinken ist kein Problem: Google-USA* Google-USA* Illinois-USA*=HathiTrust-US Indiana-USA*=HathiTrust-US
Das Herunterladen der Digitalisate ist ebenfalls kein Problem, sie haben aber ein Wasserzeichen (w:de:Digitales Wasserzeichen/w:en:Digital watermarking). Hochladen im Internet wäre auch kein Problem (w:de:Sharehoster).
Ein Problem ist es, die Digitalisate in geeigneter Weise nach wikimedia commons zu übertragen.
Erforderliche Schritte nach dem Herunterladen der Digitalisate könnten sein:- Das Umwandeln einer PDF-Datei in mehrere JPG-Dateien.
- Das Entfernen der Wasserzeichen. (Bei einzelnen JPG-Dateien und dem Wasserzeichen von google ist das Entfernen sogar mit Windows' paint möglich.)
- Das Hochladen auf wikimedia commons.
- Den Text auf einzelne Seiten wie Seite:Zürcher Diskußjonen (13–15) 003.jpg aufzuteilen, ist hinsichtlich seitenübergreifender Zeilenumbrüche und Anmerkungen ein Problem. Bei den Zürcher Diskußjonen No. 13–15 beginnt die erste Anmerkung auf Seite 1 und endet auf Seite 3.
Soll die Seitenaufteilung gebrochen werden und Wörter und Anmerkungen auf der Seite erscheinen, wo sie beginnen?

- zu Wasserzeichen ist das Internet ganz belesen.
- du solltest das pdf als ganzes bei commons hochladen, warum siehst du da ein Problem? hier ein Tutorial
- das mit den Umbrüchen über Seiten hinweg bekommt man alles hin, da helfe ich dann gerne, wenn wir da sind. --THE IT (Diskussion) 08:24, 10. Jul. 2018 (CEST)
- Ich kam leider immer noch nicht dazu, mir das ausführlich anzuschauen. Schon mal danke. Ich werde mich melden, falls später konkrete Fragen auftreten. -Darumeis (Diskussion) 06:21, 19. Jul. 2018 (CEST)
- Stand:
- Vorlage:Note wurde wieder repariert.
- Ein Digitalisat ist auf Commons vorhanden (von Google; Wasserzeichen, die nur im PDF und nicht in den zugrundeliegenden Bilddateien enthalten waren, sind entfernt).
- Wie Seite:Zürcher Diskußjonen (16–17) 011.jpg und Seite:Zürcher Diskußjonen (16–17) 012.jpg zeigen, werden Fußnoten vollständig bei der Seite angeführt, wo sie anfangen (wodurch die Text-Seiten-Zuordnung ungenau ist).
- Mit ein wenig Magie kann man das tatsächlich ändern ... soll ich das mal probieren? --THE IT (Diskussion) 12:59, 29. Jul. 2018 (CEST)
- Der Text wurde zu mehr als 1/3 Korrektur gelesen (da es schon auf korrigiert stand, wären diese 1/3 fertig).
- Irgendwann sollte der Text irgendwie auf Zürcher Diskußjonen/Zürcher Diskußjonen No. 13–15 erscheinen. Verglichen mit Index:Zürcher Diskußjonen, wo auch erstkorrigierte (und früher auch unkorrigierte) Seiten zu finden waren, könnte der Text wohl schon jetzt wieder in den normalen wikispace-Namensraum. -Darumeis (Diskussion) 23:42, 28. Jul. 2018 (CEST)
- Zu dem Eingeschobenen: Es scheint ja in wikisource üblich zu sein, die Text-Seiten-Zuordnung zu brechen, und dann ist es auch nicht nötig, es in diesem Fall anders zu machen.
Was mich mehr interessiert: Kann der Text nun schon in den normalen wikisource-Namensraum? Und falls ja, wie?
Einzelseiten wie Seite:Zürcher Diskußjonen, 2. Jg., 13-15.pdf/7 analog zu Seite:Wackernagel Geschichte der Stadt Basel Band 1.pdf/7 und Seite:Zürcher Diskußjonen (16–17) 007.jpg könnte ich vielleicht erstellen. Ein Problem sehe ich beim Eintragen des Projektfortschritts, wenn es schon erstkorrigiert war und ich es zweitkorrigierte, der Status also fertig wäre. Die Versionsgeschichte und somit auch den Nachweis der Erstkorrektur könnte ich nicht erhalten - dafür müßte man wohl, wenn man pedantisch ist, Zürcher Diskußjonen No. 13–15 wiederherstellen und 24 Mal kopieren (für jede Werkseite eine eigene Kopie). Leichter wäre es, Zürcher Diskußjonen No. 13–15 als Zürcher Diskußjonen/Zürcher Diskußjonen No. 13–15 wiederherzustellen und dann als Zusammenführungsseite wie Zürcher Diskußjonen/Zürcher Diskußjonen No. 16–17 zu gestalten. Beim Anlegen der Einzelseiten könnte, und vielleicht auch sollte oder gar müßte, man dann einfach auf die Versionsgeschichte der Zusammenführungsseite verweisen. Bei Zürcher Diskußjonen/Zürcher Diskußjonen No. 16–17 und einigen Einzelseiten findet sich nur PDD als Bearbeiter - den Einsteller WolfgangRieger findet man im nicht so leicht zu findenden Zürcher Diskußjonen No. 16–17 (nun eine Weiterleitungsseite). -Darumeis (Diskussion) 22:54, 29.

RE:Abdigildus (?)
hier ist offenbar noch eine Lücke. Der Korrekturstand „Platzhalter“ wird nicht wahrgenommen, wenn Todesjahr nicht ausgefüllt, sondern stattdessen Geburtsjahr angesagt ist. --Pfaerrich (Diskussion) 09:05, 15. Jun. 2018 (CEST)
- :(... Ich bin dran komme aber seit 2 Wochen zu nix. Hast es aber auf der todo Liste schon ganz nach oben geschafft. --THE IT (Diskussion) 14:28, 15. Jun. 2018 (CEST)
- Unvollständig scheint auch nicht zu funktionieren: RE:Exactor (weiß allerdings nicht genau, wie es hier gemeint ist). --Dorades (Diskussion) 15:37, 17. Jun. 2018 (CEST)
- Ich bin nach wie vor dabei ... aber zur Erklärung: Die Anzeige ob das Ding gemeinfrei ist oder nicht wird nicht durch den Bearbeitungsstand beeinflusst, der ist egal da. --THE IT (Diskussion) 19:57, 17. Jun. 2018 (CEST)
bin gerade wieder auf eine Lücke gestoßen: Ion 3 hat zwei unterschiedliche Korrekturstände: Platzhalter und der Struktur nach unkorrigiert. Wäre es eine Lösung, bei dieser Konstellation den zweiten Artikel mit einer zweiten REDaten-Maske einzuleiten? --Pfaerrich (Diskussion) 17:24, 11. Jul. 2018 (CEST)
- du hast völlig recht. Wir müssten wohl die Vorlage REAbschnitt auch mit Geburts- und Sterbedatum sowie Korrekturstand ertüchtigen. :-( --THE IT (Diskussion) 23:19, 11. Jul. 2018 (CEST)

REDaten/Code
Lieber The_It, a) |KEINE_SCHÖPFUNGSHÖHE=OΝ scheint nicht wie vorgesehen zu funkzionieren, vgl. RE:Εὐβοικά; b) soll |KORREKTURSTAND=Platzhalter eingeführt werden? Siehe z.B. RE:Andeda Nachtrag. Danke in voraus, --S8w4 (Diskussion) 14:13, 9. Nov. 2018 (CET)
- seit der Renovierung der Vorlagen funktioniert das jetzt alles.

Bug im ReScanner
Korrekturen durch S8w4. @S8w4:: Wenn du Fehler in meinen Programmen findest sag ruhig immer Bescheid. Hierzu eine Frage: Ich war bisher immer davon ausgegangen, dass dem Autor immer ein Punkt nachfolgt. Kann man das Todessymbol vielleicht einfach außer Acht lassen? --THE IT (Diskussion) 17:41, 13. Jul. 2018 (CEST)
- Kreuz ist tatsächlich selten und inkonsistent gesetzt, aber es schein besser sich zum gedruckten Text zu halten. Danke, --S8w4 (Diskussion) 21:21, 13. Jul. 2018 (CEST)
