Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.  

The weekly **task triage meetings** continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at 11:00 (noon) PDT (18:00 UTC). You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the Editing team's Q4 blocker project with the bug. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal.  
### Recent improvements
VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and network speed by almost 40%.  

The Editing team is slowly adding **auto-fill features** **for citations**. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The **Citoid service** takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.  

Citoid requires good TemplateData for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.  

The **special character inserter** has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the Phase 5 list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including **Afrikaans**, **Azerbaijani**, **Breton**, **Kyrgyz**, **Macedonian**, **Mongolian**, **Tatar**, and** Welsh**.  

Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use input method editors ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.  

The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the "packed" mode in image galleries. This style helps you find the image by making it easier to see more details in images.  

You can now **drag and drop categories** to re-arrange their order of appearance ​on the page.  

The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.  

**Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon** so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.  

Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead. (T90734)  

### Looking ahead
The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted at mediawiki.org.  

The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users at the English Wikipedia, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon. (T90666)

## Please test VisualEditor in your language!

<div lang="en" dir="ltr">  

It is very important to us at the Editing Department that VisualEditor works in every language, for every user.  

VisualEditor's editing environment is a browser ContentEditable element. This means that your input method editor (IME) should already know how to work with it. However, to make VisualEditor correctly edit wiki pages, we have to stop browsers in lots of ways from breaking the page.  

Sometimes this can interfere with IMEs. To make sure we work in your IME, we need your help: please see **wikimedia.github.io/VisualEditor/demos/ve/desktop-dist.html#!pages/simple.html**. This is the core system inside VisualEditor which lets you write and edit. It is different from the full editor, and some of the tools you are used to will be missing.  

We're interested in particular in whether you can write text at all, what happens when you select different candidate texts, and how VisualEditor behaves in general.  

More details, and some early test results, are provided here: **mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/IME_Testing#What_to_test**.  

We would love to hear from every language, and especially languages which use IMEs, like Japanese, Korean, Indic languages, Arabic and others. Thank you for your help.  

Yours,

## Support request with team editing experiment project

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

## VisualEditor News #3—2015

<div lang="en" dir="ltr">  

<div>  

**Did you know?**  
<div>  
When you click on a link to an article, you now see more information:  

The link tool has been re-designed:  

There are separate tabs for linking to internal and external pages.  
The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.  
</div></div>  

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has created new interfaces for the link and citation tools and fixed many bugs and changed some elements of the design. Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted on mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.  

A test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors at the English Wikipedia has just completed the first phase. During this test, half of newly registered editors had VisualEditor automatically enabled, and half did not. The main goal of the study is to learn which group was more likely to save an edit and to make productive, unreverted edits. Initial results will be posted at Meta later this month.  
### Recent improvements
**Auto-fill features** **for citations** are available at a few Wikipedias through the **citoid service**. Citoid takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (, , or ). The cite button is now labeled with the word "" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "", for the submit button.  

The **link tool** has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages (where applicable). Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector. (T98085)  

The **special character inserter** in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list at mediawiki.org. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter. (T70425)  

Several improvements have been made to **templates**. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "" each time they want to add another parameter. (T95696) The team added a **new property for TemplateData**, "", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter. (T53049)  

The **design** of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.  

The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of **non-existent images**. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.  

### Let's work together
- Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
- The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Wednesday at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the VisualEditor Q4 blocker project with the bug.
- If your Wikivoyage, Wikibooks, Wikiversity, or other community wants to have VisualEditor made available by default to contributors, then please contact James Forrester.
- If you would like to request the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
- The team is planning the second VisualEditor-related "translathon" for July. Please follow this task on Phabricator for details and updates! Announcements will follow in due course.

## Please join the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon

<div lang="en" dir="ltr">  

Hello!  

I'm pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the **VisualEditor Translathon**.  

It is a translation rally, focused on interface messages and help pages related to VisualEditor.  
In order to participate, you need to **sign up on the Translathon page** on TranslateWiki.  

The top 3 contributors will each win a Wikipedia t-shirt of their choice from [//store.wikimedia.org/ the Wikipedia store].  
Translations made between **July 15th and July 19th** ([//www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/cdt CDT time zone]) qualify.  

If you are at [//wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania Wikimania Mexico] this year, you are also welcome to join a related sprint during the hackathon in **Workplace 1 - Don Américo, Thursday 16 July at 4pm (CDT)** at the conference venue, so you can meet other fellow translators and [//wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hackathon#Hackathon_Day_2 get support if you need some].  

Interface messages have the priority. You will need to create an account at translatewiki.net in order to work on them, if you don't have one. *It is recommended to create the account ASAP*, so that it can be confirmed in time.  

You can also help translate documentation pages about VisualEditor on mediawiki.org. You can use your Wikipedia account to work there.  

You will find instructions, links and other details on the Translathon page.  

Thanks for your attention, and happy translating!

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team have been working on mobile phone support. They have fixed many bugs and improved language support. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving language support and functionality on mobile devices.  

### Wikimania
The team attended Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City. There they participated in the Hackathon and met with individuals and groups of users. They also made several presentations about VisualEditor and the future of editing.  

Following Wikimania, we announced winners for the VisualEditor 2015 Translathon. Our thanks and congratulations to users *Halan-tul*, *Renessaince*, *<span lang="ne" dir="ltr">जनक राज भट्ट</span> (Janak Bhatta)*, *Vahe Gharakhanyan*, *Warrakkk*, and *Eduardogobi*.  

For **interface messages** (translated at translatewiki.net), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (**+21.7%**). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).  

For **documentation messages** (on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (**+20.3%**). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).  

We published some graphs showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.  

### Recent improvements
**Auto-fill features for citations** can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the **citoid service** to convert a URL or DOI into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, simple process at mediawiki.org. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the instructions at mediawiki.org.  

Your wiki can customize the first section of the **special character inserter** in VisualEditor. Please follow the instructions at mediawiki.org to put the characters you want at the top.  
In other changes, if you need to fill in a CAPTCHA and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit Vega-based graphs. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.  

### Future changes
The team will be changing the **appearance of selected links** inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.  

On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A recent controlled trial showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.  

### Let's work together
- Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page is now using Flow instead of LiquidThreads.
- <mark>Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese?</mark> Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at mediawiki.org if you can help.
- If your wiki would like **VisualEditor enabled on another namespace**, you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
- Please file requests for language-appropriate "" and "" icons for the styling menu in Phabricator.
- The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.
- The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

## அறுபட்ட கோப்பு இணைப்புகள்

படிமங்கள் நீக்கப்பட்ட பக்கங்களில் உள்ள நீக்கல் படிமங்களை துப்புரவு செய்ய தானியங்கி தேவைப்படுகிறது. முன்னர் ஆயிரக் கணக்கில் இவ்வாறு இருந்ததை துப்புரவு செய்ய மனித வலு பயன்படுத்தப்பட்டது. பிறதிட்டங்களில் இத்துப்புரவுக்கு தானியங்கி பயன்படுகிறது. எனவே இங்கும் தானியங்கியை 24 மணித்தியாலத்திற்கு ஒரு முறை அல்லது வேறு சிறந்த நேர இடைவெளியில் இயக்கலாம் என்பது என் பரிந்துரை. கருத்துக்கள் இருப்பின் பகிரவும் நன்றி. நீச்சல்காரன் (பேச்சு) 04:24, 21 ஆகத்து 2015 (UTC)
