1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:21,650 *36c3 preroll music* 2 00:00:21,650 --> 00:00:24,150 Herald: So now we present our next speaker, who is Andre, and he will talk 3 00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:32,080 about some cool tools related to the Wikimedia stuff that you, as, maybe, 4 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:39,200 Wikimedia users could use and do cool stuff with it. So let's have some applause 5 00:00:39,200 --> 00:01:01,070 for Andre, please. 6 00:01:01,070 --> 00:01:05,960 Andre: Batterien? Oh, it works, right? Perfect. Sorry for that. Thanks for 7 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:12,910 coming. I'm Andre. I work for Wikimedia. I was even wondering whether I should put 8 00:01:12,910 --> 00:01:16,110 the logo here, because this actually has nothing to do with the Wikimedia 9 00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:22,780 Foundation itself. So this is all about volunteer work, volunteer software, 10 00:01:22,780 --> 00:01:27,009 because it's always a mix between several entities like Wikimedia Deutschland, 11 00:01:27,009 --> 00:01:33,960 Wikimedia Foundation, Sweden, also lots of other companies, for example. 12 00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:39,960 And I decided to give this talk because there is if you are on a Wikimedia website, for 13 00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:44,179 example, Wikipedia, there is some obvious software there. Of course, the wiki 14 00:01:44,179 --> 00:01:48,970 software itself, which allows you to view and edit pages. There are a lot of 15 00:01:48,970 --> 00:01:55,539 extensions, about 130 deployed on Wikimedia servers, but there's also lots 16 00:01:55,539 --> 00:02:02,827 of software around, which pretty often isn't very visible. 17 00:02:02,827 --> 00:02:11,360 Wikimedia Tech world is pretty complex, it's all free and open source software, and some areas are 18 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:19,940 actually fully covered by volunteers, and especially I'm going to be in the bots, 19 00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:30,130 gadgets, user scripts, tools, and, a bit, mobile apps area today. We have many 20 00:02:30,130 --> 00:02:35,520 communities, many languages, for example, there's already more than 300 Wikipedias 21 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:42,271 when it comes to different languages. So there's a lot of diverse interests, use 22 00:02:42,271 --> 00:02:47,810 cases, technical needs. You can probably imagine a few things technically already 23 00:02:47,810 --> 00:02:53,090 when it comes to different scripts used in different cultures or right-to-left, left- 24 00:02:53,090 --> 00:03:00,190 to-right. Many other examples like this. And as everything is Free and Open Source, 25 00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:06,690 a lot of volunteers experiment with new ideas they have and also bridge some 26 00:03:06,690 --> 00:03:11,670 workflow gaps that might exist for these communities and maybe other communities 27 00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:16,810 are not even aware of that. So pretty often it happens, that some 28 00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:24,140 community members come up with some ideas and over time they evolve. Sometimes they 29 00:03:24,140 --> 00:03:30,180 even become a code repository or a gadget that also gets copied to another Wikimedia 30 00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:35,540 site like a different language Wikipedia. These kinds of things. And earlier this 31 00:03:35,540 --> 00:03:41,870 year, some people decided that it would be beautiful to appreciate the work and 32 00:03:41,870 --> 00:03:46,970 create a showcase of the most impressive software solutions which were implemented 33 00:03:46,970 --> 00:03:53,740 outside of the Wikimedia Core Code repository and the extensions. 34 00:03:53,740 --> 00:04:02,360 Both to celebrate the software solutions and also the people behind the tools. Because this 35 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,070 is a lot about ideas, about passion, about skills. Pretty often also finding maybe 36 00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:13,930 somebody who has more experience or knowledge in a certain culture. If you 37 00:04:13,930 --> 00:04:23,110 cannot create something yourself, and teaming up. So, early this year, the idea 38 00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:29,800 came up to celebrate such great pieces of software by creating an award. And there 39 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,020 was a Wikimedia conference, I think, in August in Stockholm, it's called 40 00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:38,280 Wikimania, which is not only about technical aspects, it's really about 41 00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:44,950 everything related to the Wikimedia communities. And we, beforehand, there was 42 00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:51,570 there were a few people who came together and tried to find categories and, for 43 00:04:51,570 --> 00:04:59,240 tools to give an award to in these categories. So I'm basically remixing this 44 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:07,910 award session from earlier this year here without giving out awards. And my hope is 45 00:05:07,910 --> 00:05:13,070 that you might see some great stuff, might find some stuff interesting. 46 00:05:13,070 --> 00:05:18,790 It's not necessarily if you run your own Mediawiki installation on your server, 47 00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:24,240 some stuff might be too Wikimedia-specific use cases, but maybe you might get some 48 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,990 ideas or also stuff you weren't aware of and might want to use. Because there are a 49 00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:32,970 lot of tools out there, as I said, and sometimes it's really hard to discover 50 00:05:32,970 --> 00:05:46,350 them because they're. *soundproblems* Oh, thank you, because they might be on on separate 51 00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:57,090 wikis. All right, so the first category was or is experience, and it was won by 52 00:05:57,090 --> 00:06:08,840 the locator tool by Simon04. It's a tool that helps you adding the geocode, the 53 00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:14,260 exact position to existing images, especially on Wikimedia Commons, which is 54 00:06:14,260 --> 00:06:23,280 the place to share free media images, videos, things like this. And why it 55 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:29,250 received this prize is because it's really intuitive and easy to use. You can add 56 00:06:29,250 --> 00:06:36,600 coordinates to one or more files. You can find it in user preferences. So it's a bit 57 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:43,460 easier to discover. It's available in many languages, it had great tutorials. 58 00:06:43,460 --> 00:06:52,950 Actively maintained and it's been used already a lot. So this is the tool. 59 00:06:52,950 --> 00:07:01,190 I wonder if I should zoom in a bit. It's called locator tool and you can enter a 60 00:07:01,190 --> 00:07:09,880 category name here. For example, I have one hand less than usual I realize. 61 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:34,520 "Coolest tool award"… In theory it should also autocomplete. Let's try. Showcases. 62 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:41,080 Maybe if I… let's try something else, then, I mean, that's what 63 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:56,760 autocomplete is for. And let's load. So in theory, you get the map here with a 64 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:07,240 pointer on it. Or pointers of the files in this category. In practice, I probably 65 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:16,111 chose a bad example, and the Wi-Fi isn't that fast. Or maybe none of the images in 66 00:08:16,111 --> 00:08:22,060 that category already has a location. That might also be the case here. It's not the 67 00:08:22,060 --> 00:08:26,330 category I tried beforehand when I tried to prepare this session. Sorry for that. 68 00:08:26,330 --> 00:08:30,580 I'll go back to the screenshot, where you can hopefully imagine how things 69 00:08:30,580 --> 00:08:41,060 should look like. The next one would be HotCat, which is a pretty tiny 70 00:08:41,060 --> 00:08:46,680 codebase, actually, but used a lot. And "cat" in this case stands for 71 00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:52,100 Categories, because that is one way to organize, for example, files on Wikimedia 72 00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:59,450 Commons, but also articles on Wikipedias. So this is a screenshot 73 00:08:59,450 --> 00:09:06,440 from a file on Wikimedia Commons. And at the bottom you can see the categories, 74 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:12,430 and you can easily add categories via this tool and also remove, change, add 75 00:09:12,430 --> 00:09:22,290 categories. And it's also pretty discoverable via the user preferences. So 76 00:09:22,290 --> 00:09:29,500 to compare this, how much should I zoom in? This here, down here you can see the 77 00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:33,600 categories, how it usually looks. Basically just the names, and you can 78 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,160 click the categories to get to the overview page. If you've enabled the 79 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:45,380 gadgets, you see a few more buttons here, which are added by JavaScript so you can 80 00:09:45,380 --> 00:09:51,420 easily remove a category or add a category by clicking the plus at the very end. 81 00:09:51,420 --> 00:10:02,730 And then you could also type-ahead and add a new category. It works on almost all 82 00:10:02,730 --> 00:10:07,940 wikis, it actually has the highest number when it comes to users. And yeah, as 83 00:10:07,940 --> 00:10:16,499 usual, code is public. Several people contributed. 84 00:10:16,499 --> 00:10:25,100 "Impact". There is Internet Archive Bot by cyberpower, you probably can guess a little bit from the 85 00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:30,500 name what it's supposed to do. We are not running an archive service. We're not 86 00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:37,010 archive.org. But pretty often, Internet websites or pages go down or get 87 00:10:37,010 --> 00:10:43,360 removed or get moved. And as especially Wikipedia articles have a lot of 88 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,950 references, then suddenly you cannot check for references anymore. Or if that 89 00:10:47,950 --> 00:10:53,120 statement is actually true because that website got down. But there is the 90 00:10:53,120 --> 00:11:00,020 Internet Archive and they archive regularly websites and Web pages by 91 00:11:00,020 --> 00:11:06,690 crawling the Internet. And then this little Bot replaces those links and, or 92 00:11:06,690 --> 00:11:11,020 references in, for example, Wikipedia articles at the bottom by the link to 93 00:11:11,020 --> 00:11:14,490 Internet Archive. So you can still actually reach the Page, that was 94 00:11:14,490 --> 00:11:22,120 referenced a while ago when that page still existed. And the great thing about 95 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,890 this is that it automates work that usually would be very cumbersome and very 96 00:11:26,890 --> 00:11:40,050 tiresome to do, and the configuration also depends on local wiki needs. As an example 97 00:11:40,050 --> 00:11:47,010 I won't show you now running Internet Archive Bot on some page, 98 00:11:47,010 --> 00:11:52,380 but you can see here, I basically took the last edits, a totally random one on English 99 00:11:52,380 --> 00:11:58,810 Wikipedia. And you can see here that this is a history of that article called 100 00:11:58,810 --> 00:12:06,560 Gilberto Hernandez Ortega. And this is the last edit that Internet Archive Bot made 101 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:12,209 on English Wikipedia by replacing this obviously dead link here that you can see 102 00:12:12,209 --> 00:12:20,649 on the left by a link to web.archive.org. So if you go to that article on English 103 00:12:20,649 --> 00:12:24,860 Wikipedia and you want to go to that reference, you actually see the reference 104 00:12:24,860 --> 00:12:35,919 and not a dead link, that's what it does. Then we had a "reusable" category. 105 00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:43,180 If you wonder where we are, if you get tired, this is the fourth out of 10. That's page 106 00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:50,420 views by MusicAnimal, Kaldari, Marcel Ruiz Forns. It does what it says. 107 00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:55,550 It's basically getting an idea how often does a certain page on one of the Wikimedia sites 108 00:12:55,550 --> 00:13:04,250 get accessed. So it's a pretty simple graph, but that can be pretty useful when 109 00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:09,241 when you want to have statistics, maybe not necessarily about… well, also, some 110 00:13:09,241 --> 00:13:15,040 people want to find out if… which articles are the most popular ones on some 111 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,560 Wikipedias. Some people want to find that out. But for me, for example, it's pretty 112 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:23,019 useful when when there are, when it comes to technical documentation on 113 00:13:23,019 --> 00:13:29,050 mediawiki.org and I wonder, OK, these two pages kind of overlap when it comes to 114 00:13:29,050 --> 00:13:33,210 their content and I would like to merge them. But which one is more popular and 115 00:13:33,210 --> 00:13:39,501 which way should I merge it. So these things can be pretty useful. 116 00:13:39,501 --> 00:13:46,050 You can include all wikis. You can also change the time frame. You can get statistics 117 00:13:46,050 --> 00:13:52,380 over a year now, that was recently implemented. Before, it was per month. 118 00:13:52,380 --> 00:13:59,870 And in life this, these are two pages I'm comparing on meta.wikimedia.org. 119 00:13:59,870 --> 00:14:05,690 You can see that I'm looking at the daily statistics and in a certain time frame, 120 00:14:05,690 --> 00:14:09,890 which you can change here, and I'm comparing these two pages called the 121 00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:15,010 Coolest Tool Award page and a page called Requests for New Languages. And so here 122 00:14:15,010 --> 00:14:27,360 you can see like on which day, how many times those two pages were accessed. 123 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:47,930 Then there is quick statements by Magnus. That's true, that's true. I tried to 124 00:14:47,930 --> 00:14:52,760 access that earlier, and it somehow didn't work for me when preparing this. So in 125 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:59,730 theory, it's a powerful editor for Wikidata. You can use statements, 126 00:14:59,730 --> 00:15:06,000 labels, descriptions and aliases to add and remove them, via rather simple 127 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:12,820 text commands and you can see simply by the numbers on Wikidata that it's 128 00:15:12,820 --> 00:15:20,870 pretty popular. As I said, I wasn't able to play with that yet myself. So I can 129 00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:26,450 only read this text for you right now. So, you can prepare things already in a 130 00:15:26,450 --> 00:15:31,720 spreadsheet or a text editor to to run several commands in a row. 131 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:39,540 Batch edits, basically, semi-automatically. And there's also other tools like OpenRefine, the 132 00:15:39,540 --> 00:15:47,740 Disambiguater, which also use this tool. So as it was down, I could only go to its 133 00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:55,130 help page and looked a little bit at the statements down here. I hope that one 134 00:15:55,130 --> 00:16:06,210 day I'm going to find time to try this myself. Let's see. 135 00:16:06,210 --> 00:16:16,600 Then, for developers, an award was given to MediaWiki Code Search by Legoktm. Because, once upon a 136 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,779 time, there were, there was, for example, a service by Google to do search 137 00:16:21,779 --> 00:16:30,410 explicitly, like, public code, source code repositories, and we wanted to have that, 138 00:16:30,410 --> 00:16:35,160 especially for Wikimedia code. So everything that's in WikiMedia git, 139 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:43,100 Gerrit, I don't think it supports stuff that… all our Wikimedia code repositories 140 00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:50,470 that are in GitHub or somewhere else. It's a pretty simple interface. You can see on 141 00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:57,050 the top you can filter by categories, in which code bases you're looking for a 142 00:16:57,050 --> 00:17:05,910 certain expression. Gerrit, it says here at the bottom. And this is super easy 143 00:17:05,910 --> 00:17:11,019 to use. Well, at least, if you know a little bit of regular expressions or if 144 00:17:11,019 --> 00:17:16,100 you just want to enter the name of a function, for example, because one very 145 00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:24,329 or, a great use case we actually have is, when some function gets deprecated or even 146 00:17:24,329 --> 00:17:29,670 later on even removed in the MediaWiki core code base. Of course, somebody needs 147 00:17:29,670 --> 00:17:33,820 to find and update all the extensions out there, which might rely on that very 148 00:17:33,820 --> 00:17:40,730 function in the MediaWiki core code base. And this makes it way easier. 149 00:17:40,730 --> 00:17:45,760 Of course you could also locally check out all the extension repositories and then grep and 150 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:52,750 try to find that. But this makes it especially, for those, or most people, 151 00:17:52,750 --> 00:17:57,880 I guess, who don't have a complete check out of all extensions and code repositories on 152 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:05,720 their own computer, to quickly use it on the Internet online. I guess I don't need 153 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:15,840 to show you how to enter a search string here. Still, if I, for example, enter, 154 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:21,340 getText, which would be a function name, you'd then get the results listed by 155 00:18:21,340 --> 00:18:28,700 repository. And then you could filter on the top. If the server or the Internet is 156 00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:41,480 fast enough. I might get back to you later. 157 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:51,080 Seventh one out of ten we awarded is the "Mobile" area, there is a Commons mobile app which is also entirely 158 00:18:51,080 --> 00:19:03,350 run, managed, worked on by volunteers like Josephine, Yuvi, Neshlihan, Vivek. 159 00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:09,360 It allows you to upload photos to Wikimedia Commons directly from your mobile phone or 160 00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:18,941 from your smartphone, and you can also, of course, add categories, or view 161 00:19:18,941 --> 00:19:25,880 nearby missing images. So if you use your GPS, if you know your location, that can 162 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:32,000 be helpful to find out which articles, for example, on Wikipedia, still lack 163 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:40,600 images and view your contributions to Commons in its own gallery. Those numbers 164 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,270 are probably now outdated. But what is impressive to me is simply the large 165 00:19:45,270 --> 00:19:52,530 number of different people who have already contributed to the code base. 166 00:19:52,530 --> 00:19:59,580 Still no results. OK. I don't think I'm going to play that YouTube video for 167 00:19:59,580 --> 00:20:05,290 for you now. Plus, I haven't sorted out the sound beforehand, I realize. But you 168 00:20:05,290 --> 00:20:12,250 can… oh, this just shows some of the images uploaded via it, but it's a pretty 169 00:20:12,250 --> 00:20:21,850 intuitive user interface. It's also interesting to see that of course, it 170 00:20:21,850 --> 00:20:30,510 also makes uploading content a bit easier that might not be suitable for Wikimedia 171 00:20:30,510 --> 00:20:38,170 Commons, like, for example, your selfies of you and your friends. 172 00:20:38,170 --> 00:20:43,220 But I think that's also being worked on and better filter nowadays, for example, by 173 00:20:43,220 --> 00:20:54,400 categorizing if this is a completely new user and these kinds of things on Commons. 174 00:20:54,400 --> 00:21:06,309 Then the category "Newcomer" is called NOA Upload Tool by HappeJ, Sohmen. So this 175 00:21:06,309 --> 00:21:13,310 takes scientific Open Access articles out there, and fetches the images included in 176 00:21:13,310 --> 00:21:20,630 them, and then anybody can help deciding if this is suitable when it comes to the 177 00:21:20,630 --> 00:21:27,340 content of, I mean, the license is already pretty clear. But the content, if this 178 00:21:27,340 --> 00:21:33,250 could be helpful on Wikimedia Commons. So you go to the website, basically you get a 179 00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:38,220 random image and you can help. Could or should this be uploaded to Wikimedia 180 00:21:38,220 --> 00:21:46,750 Commons to make it broader available to make it more discoverable? It's beautiful 181 00:21:46,750 --> 00:21:53,590 because it also gets a bit more into Open Science. It's probably the most simple 182 00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:59,730 user interface in this collection here, and it does the attribution correctly. 183 00:21:59,730 --> 00:22:10,340 Randomized. That's probably also something. So I went to that tool. 184 00:22:10,340 --> 00:22:19,380 And as you can see, you get a random image. So the caption would be taken over and you 185 00:22:19,380 --> 00:22:24,590 can click "Mark for upload" or "next image". To actually upload it, you will… 186 00:22:24,590 --> 00:22:38,330 It's probably a bit small… you would have to log in, of course, first and authenticate. 187 00:22:38,330 --> 00:22:42,651 Then when it comes to outreach, more to social activities, there 188 00:22:42,651 --> 00:22:54,320 is a programs and events dashboard by Sage and others. So this is a bit more when it 189 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:59,670 comes to the teaching part or running workshops for, for example, editors, 190 00:22:59,670 --> 00:23:06,620 writers, uploading media. Or, for example, Wikiversity, which is another Wikimedia 191 00:23:06,620 --> 00:23:16,940 site which has courses. And this helps you to get an idea how much outcome, how much 192 00:23:16,940 --> 00:23:21,390 effect your program has. And it's pretty useful and actually used by quite some 193 00:23:21,390 --> 00:23:26,030 event organizers out there, for example, by the Wikimedia chapters in quite some 194 00:23:26,030 --> 00:23:34,690 countries. You can create and manage education programs, you, as I said, track 195 00:23:34,690 --> 00:23:41,450 some metrics and it's been used for more than 100, or, with more than 100 000 196 00:23:41,450 --> 00:23:50,490 students and editors, over a million articles since 2010. 197 00:23:50,490 --> 00:23:56,210 So this is the default view you would end up with on the programs and event dashboard. 198 00:23:56,210 --> 00:24:01,670 And you can see here the campaigns on the left, for example, this was the Art and Feminism 199 00:24:01,670 --> 00:24:07,830 2018 campaign. Related programs that were run. And, for example, the number of 200 00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:16,280 articles created, edited, and the number of editors here, in the very end. 201 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:25,830 So you get an idea how much, actually, outcome you have. 202 00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:34,730 And, last but not least, probably Eggbeater doesn't tell you anything. That was the logo we chose for 203 00:24:34,730 --> 00:24:43,180 the award, and it's basically the special or lifetime award or something 204 00:24:43,180 --> 00:24:48,169 like that. That's probably how you would translate it. Twinkle. It's also a 205 00:24:48,169 --> 00:24:58,060 JavaScript gadget by AzaToth, Ioeth, Amathea, atlight, MusikAnimal, AmoryMeltzer. 206 00:24:58,060 --> 00:25:01,770 And this is when, when you're a bit more of an experienced, 207 00:25:01,770 --> 00:25:07,980 for example, Wikipedia user, it helps you a lot with maintenance tasks like dealing 208 00:25:07,980 --> 00:25:15,500 reverting vandalism, unscontract– unconstructive edits. Which makes 209 00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:21,850 administrative tasks way easier. It's been around for 15 years, it has pretty 210 00:25:21,850 --> 00:25:33,179 good help. And to give you a simple idea, this would be the normal or nearly normal 211 00:25:33,179 --> 00:25:38,640 view, I think I also have some some custom gadgets enabled, on on a Wikipedia page 212 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:45,780 when you're logged in and you can see up here, read, edit, view history. 213 00:25:45,780 --> 00:25:52,480 The watch list, star button. When I enable Twinkle, you see there's another drop 214 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:59,990 down, which leads to, for example, the first link request, speedy deletion. 215 00:25:59,990 --> 00:26:09,280 According to CSD, I should probably know what that means. Speedy deletion? 216 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:14,820 And a few other options like "show most recent diff", "unlink backlinks", a lot of 217 00:26:14,820 --> 00:26:19,120 functionality that is way easier to access and more common, especially if you try to 218 00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:27,150 revert vandalism and watch pages. 219 00:26:27,150 --> 00:26:36,350 This is a photo of, at the end of that actual award ceremony, of all the people being around. There were also definitely a few 220 00:26:36,350 --> 00:26:41,360 maintainers, developers, stewards of these code bases around. So not everybody was 221 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:54,190 present at that conference, but we could actually hand out some awards which were eggbeaters. 222 00:26:54,190 --> 00:26:58,690 And what was this was basically about was, as I said earlier, 223 00:26:58,690 --> 00:27:04,200 appreciating, all the code in between, that might not be obvious to you. 224 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,870 Sometimes, it might not even be obvious to you that this is custom code or a gadget, 225 00:27:08,870 --> 00:27:13,840 not in the core functionality, added by a volunteer, because it is enabled by 226 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,970 default. And you just expect like, OK, this is probably part of the core 227 00:27:17,970 --> 00:27:23,350 software, but it's actually not. And, of course, also, thanks a lot to all the 228 00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:30,430 users of these tools. So if anything was interesting here or if you have more 229 00:27:30,430 --> 00:27:37,179 curiosity, you will find links on meta.wikimedia.org, on the page 230 00:27:37,179 --> 00:27:41,789 Coolest Tool Award. If you are generally interested in the technical parts of it, 231 00:27:41,789 --> 00:27:48,429 not necessarily only as a user using these tools, I would recommend how to contribute 232 00:27:48,429 --> 00:27:56,869 on mediawiki.org, which both covers how to get technically involved, but also other areas. 233 00:27:56,869 --> 00:28:01,730 For example, of course, editing, but also, design, local user 234 00:28:01,730 --> 00:28:09,010 groups, outreach or other things. So these are probably only the credits. 235 00:28:09,010 --> 00:28:12,822 So I'm done. Thank you. 236 00:28:12,822 --> 00:28:21,999 *applause* 237 00:28:21,999 --> 00:28:27,560 Herald: Hello, hello? Yeah. Thank you, Andre! So do we have any questions in the 238 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:32,390 audience? If you do raise your hands and I will hand you my microphone? 239 00:28:32,390 --> 00:28:37,870 Andre: Basically, I would even say feel free to ask anything. I mean, I might not 240 00:28:37,870 --> 00:28:42,309 know the answer. It's not that I'm actively working in all of these tools or 241 00:28:42,309 --> 00:28:51,159 anything, but I can try to find out. Q: I thank you for your speech. 242 00:28:51,159 --> 00:28:58,270 Do you have a favorite tool for locations of articles, how to add them, or edit them? 243 00:28:58,270 --> 00:29:03,559 Andre: A favorite tool for locations of articles, how to edit them? 244 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:10,730 Q: You can have locations for the images, but also add locations to articles on the 245 00:29:10,730 --> 00:29:16,419 other side? And I find it unhandy to always copy paste a code with geolocation 246 00:29:16,419 --> 00:29:20,850 and all that stuff. And I would also prefer there to have a tool where I could 247 00:29:20,850 --> 00:29:25,500 click on a map and say, OK, it's there. Maybe it's existing. 248 00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:30,929 Andre: That that is a good question. So, yeah, so you basically go to an article 249 00:29:30,929 --> 00:29:36,740 and you hope for some button, which probably opens a map and then you say it's 250 00:29:36,740 --> 00:29:41,900 here on this map. And then you edit with one click the coordinates to the article, 251 00:29:41,900 --> 00:29:50,220 I guess. Right? I'm not sure myself. I would have to try to find out. Let me come 252 00:29:50,220 --> 00:30:00,169 back to you later, please. Herald: Any other questions? I don't think 253 00:30:00,169 --> 00:30:03,799 I see any, but so then again, thank you, have some applause for Andre please! 254 00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:32,000 Subtitles created by c3subtitles.de in the year 2021.
