Coming soon: Template dialog improvements for VisualEditor and new wiktext mode

/ Apologies for writing in English. It would be great if you could help translate this message. /

Hello! Here is more news from the focus area “Make working with templates easier” by Wikimedia Germany’s Technical Wishes project:

Your wiki will soon receive an overall improved interface for editing templates in VisualEditor and in the new wikitext mode (beta feature). This includes several improvements:

• general redesign (more spacing, bigger window for better usability),
• a better overview of parameters that are available for a template,
• an easier way to add parameters via checkboxes and search filters,
• better visibility of important information,
• added links to documentation and help pages.

More in-depth information can be found on the project page on Meta. The planned deployment date for these changes is October 6.

Please note

• Some interface texts in the dialog have changed and might need to be translated into your language on translatewiki. It can take around two weeks for translations to appear in the interface.
• The official VisualEditor help page on mediawiki.org will only be changed later this year, when all wikis have received the feature. If you have a local help page about the feature, you can update it based on information on this page, which we will fill with content in late September.

We would be very happy to hear what you think of these changes. Please let us know on this talk page. -- Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (Yɛltɔɣa) 14:09, 22 Silimin gɔli September 2021 (GMT)

Hello again! Unfortunately, this deployment will be postponed a bit:

• Our team is currently still working on a few optimizations for mobile and for screen readers, so we’re planning to deploy the feature to your wiki in late October/beginning of November.
• That also means that the texts on this subpage are not finished yet. We’ll give you an update here on your village pump once the texts are done. Then you can update your help page accordingly.
• If you haven’t already translated the VE template dialog texts, now is a good time to do this.
• For those who are curious what to expect, here are two videos: One shows the current interface on English Wikipedia, the other one shows the improved interface which you’ll get soon (currently on betawiki):

• Current view on English Wikipedia
• Coming soon: Improved version

Sorry for the inconvenience! – Johanna for the Technical Wishes team, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (Yɛltɔɣa) 10:46, 6 Silimin gɔli October 2021 (GMT)

The documentation of the improvements on the Visual Editor template dialog is finally complete now and can be found here. Sorry for the delay. Please remember to translate the VE template dialog texts if you haven’t already. The deployment of these changes is planned for November 16th. – For the Technical Wishes team, Timur Vorkul (WMDE) (Yɛltɔɣa) 15:38, 4 Silimin gɔli November 2021 (GMT)

Thank you so much for the kind gesture. We look forward to a more super view. 16th November is already saved in my calendar to wake up to a new introduction of an interface. Dnshitobu (Yɛltɔɣa) 21:56, 4 Silimin gɔli November 2021 (GMT)

Final deployment date: template dialog improvements for VisualEditor and new wiktext mode
Unfortunately, the deployment had to be postponed and did not happen on November 16th as announced. I am very sorry about this. The extensive template dialog improvements for VisualEditor and new wiktext will finally be available from November 24th on your wiki. If you have any feedback, please let us know on the project’s talk page. -- Timur for Wikimedia Germany’s Technical Wishes team, Timur Vorkul (WMDE) (Yɛltɔɣa) 14:06, 23 Silimin gɔli November 2021 (GMT)

P.S.: We are still working out the final details with the new keyboard navigation which should be working smoothly soon.

Thank you so much for the invitation.Here is the application for the Wiki Loves Folklore 2022 in Ghana. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Alhassan_Mohammed_Awal/Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2022_in_Ghana. Alhassan Mohammed Awal (Yɛltɔɣa) 08:58, 14 Silimin gɔli January 2022 (GMT) 

Bot policy

Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read the text at Meta-Wiki before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --Zabe (Yɛltɔɣa) 17:17, 16 Silimin gɔli January 2022 (GMT)

I Strongly support this! It is a great idea knowing the power of bots and how they can make our language wikipedia great. Dnshitobu (Yɛltɔɣa) 22:27, 25 Silimin gɔli January 2022 (GMT)

Thank you. I've implemented the policy. Please add on top of this page the following:

* '''en:''' Requests for the [[m:bot|bot]] flag should be made on this page. This wiki uses the [[m:bot policy|standard bot policy]], and allows [[m:bot policy#Global_bots|global bots]] and [[m:bot policy#Automatic_approval|automatic approval of certain types of bots]]. Other bots should apply below, and then [[m:Steward requests/Bot status|request access]] from a steward if there is no objection.

Best regards, --MarcoAurelio (Yɛltɔɣa) 18:40, 16 Silimin gɔli February 2022 (GMT)

MarcoAurelio, Thank you for implementing the policy. I checked and I saw that Dnshitobu have added the above code at the top of this page but it seems something is wrong somewhere. Please check the code. Many thanks Shahadusadik (Yɛltɔɣa) 14:07, 19 Silimin gɔli February 2022 (GMT)
