Projektneuheiten:

Für Jedermann

• (Softwareneuheit Wikisource) Hinzufügen einer Kategorie für <pages/>, die auf einen fehlenden Index verweist. Wenn eine Seite <pages/> verwendet, um auf einen Index zu verweisen, der nicht existiert, wird ein Fehler ausgegeben. Dies ist konfigurierbar mit der Systemnachricht Mediawiki:Proofreadpage_nosuch_index_category (Task 230673, Gerrit:746839).
• (Softwareneuheit) Es findet eine Wikisyntax-Validierung (aka Lint-Fehler) auf inline-media-caption statt: Im Text eingebundene Bilder der Form [[Datei:Test.png|Bildtext]] werden als Fehler markiert, da „Bildtext“ nur in Kombination mit „mini/thumb“ ausgewertet wird. Weitere Details unter mw:Help:Lint errors/inline-media-caption (Task 297443, Gerrit:745964).

Für Programmierer

• (Helferlein) Erlaubt die Angabe von Seitenaktionen ('view', 'edit', 'history', etc) in Helferlein-Definitionen. Falls angegeben, wird das Helferlein nur bei der/den angegebenen Seitenaktion(en) ausgeführt (Task 63007, Task 204201, Gerrit:747112).
• (Helferlein) Support JSON files in gadgets (Task 198758, Gerrit:731284).
• (Bearbeitungsfilter) Add AbuseFilter variable for used OAuth consumer. To help some wikis help dealing with abuse coming from certain OAuth-backed tools, set the oauth_consumer AbuseFilter variable to the ID of the used OAuth consumer, if any. This information is already public in the form of edit tags (Task 298281, Gerrit:748784).
• (Gadgets) Helferlein können nun auch mit dem URL-Parameter withgadget= geladen werden (Task 29766, Gerrit:730684).

BRAVO Hits 1

Hallo Koyaanis!

Die von dir angelegte Seite BRAVO Hits 1 wurde zum Löschen vorgeschlagen. Gemäß den Löschregeln wird über die Löschung mindestens sieben Tage diskutiert und danach entschieden.

Du bist herzlich eingeladen, dich an der Löschdiskussion zu beteiligen. Wenn du möchtest, dass der Artikel behalten wird, kannst du dort die Argumente, die für eine Löschung sprechen, entkräften, indem du dich beispielsweise zur enzyklopädischen Relevanz des Artikels äußerst. Du kannst auch während der Löschdiskussion Artikelverbesserungen vornehmen, die die Relevanz besser erkennen lassen und die Mindestqualität sichern.

Da bei Wikipedia jeder Löschanträge stellen darf, sind manche Löschanträge auch offensichtlich unbegründet; solche Anträge kannst du ignorieren.

Vielleicht fühlst du dich durch den Löschantrag vor den Kopf gestoßen, weil durch den Antrag die Arbeit, die du in den Artikel gesteckt hast, nicht gewürdigt wird. Sei tapfer und bleibe dennoch freundlich. Der andere meint es vermutlich auch gut.

Grüße, Xqbot (Diskussion) 19:08, 13. Feb. 2022 (CET)   (Diese Nachricht wurde automatisch durch einen Bot erstellt. Wenn du zukünftig von diesem Bot nicht mehr über Löschanträge informiert werden möchtest, trag dich hier ein.)

Für Programmierer

• (JavaScript) Eine Code-Änderung letzte Woche zur Behebung eines Fehlers in der Live-Vorschau hat möglicherweise Probleme mit einigen lokalen Helferlein und Benutzer-Skripten verursacht. Jeder Code mit skin-spezifischem Verhalten für vector sollte aktualisiert werden, um auch auf vector-2022 zu prüfen. Beispielcode unter Task 300987.

Für Jedermann

Durch Spezial:Benutzerrechte kann einem Benutzer das Recht entzogen werden, die IP-Informationen einzusehen. Weiterhin wurde ein neues Logbuch eingeführt, das dokumentiert, wer wann den generellen Zugriff aktiviert und IP-Informationen eingesehen hat: Spezial:Logbuch/ipinfo. Der Zugriff auf das Logbuch ist auf Administratoren und Checkuser beschränkt.

Hallo Koyaanis, irgendwie habe ich es versäumt, mich von Usern bestätigen zu lassen, denen ich schon persönlich begegnet bin. Würdest Du mich bestätigen, falls Du doch noch an mich erinnerst....?   VG --Goldmull (Diskussion) 20:07, 3. Jun. 2022 (CEST)

Kategorie:Maler (Düsseldorfer Malerschule)

Beachte bitte: Die obige Kategorie ist nicht auf Maler beschränkt, die in Düsseldorf gelebt und gearbeitet haben. Daher ist Maler (Düsseldorf) keine Subkategorie von Maler (Düsseldorfer Malerschule). Umgekehrt gilt dasselbe: Maler (Düsseldorfer Malerschule) ist keine Subkategorie von Maler (Düsseldorf). Viele Maler der Düsseldorfer Schule haben außerhalb Düsseldorfs gewirkt.--Tfjt (Diskussion) 21:35, 7. Jul. 2022 (CEST)

Morjen, @Tfjt:. Da sehe ich momentan noch keinen Widerspruch in sich, da Künstler, die zur Düsseldorfer Malerschule zählen, zwangsläufig einen Teil ihres Arbeitslebens in Düsseldorf verbracht haben und die Subkategorie eine praktische Entlastung für die sehr volle Hauptkategorie darstellt. Frage dazu: Welche Kategorienbeschränkung meinst du ? Gruß --Koyaanis (Diskussion) 09:30, 8. Jul. 2022 (CEST)

Hallo, @Koyaanis:. Viele Künstler der Düsseldorfer Schule haben nur eine gewisse Zeit zur Ausbildung in Düsseldorf verbracht, teilweise nur einige Monate. Raumbezogene Kategorien wie Maler (Düsseldorf) oder Maler (Deutschland) kennzeichnen hingegen eine Hauptwirkungsstätte bzw. einen Ort oder Bereich des hauptsächlichen Aufententhalts des jeweiligen Künstlers. William Stanley Haseltine beispielsweise ist ein Künstler der Düsseldorfer Schule, der hauptsächlich in Rom, Paris und New York City lebte und entsprechend nicht als Maler (Düsseldorf) zu kategorisieren ist. Carl Friedrich Lessing hingegen, ebenfalls ein Künstler der Düsseldorfer Schule, lebte hauptsächlich in Düsseldorf und wird dementsprechend als Maler (Düsseldorf) kategorisiert. Die Düsseldorfer Malerschule war hinsichtlich der Hauptwirkungsstätten ihrer Künstler ein ortsunabhängiges Phänomen. Künstler werden der Düsseldorfer Schule zugeordnet unabhängig davon, ob sie längere Zeit oder hauptsächlich in Düsseldorf gewirkt haben. – Vgl. Bettina Baumgärtel: Zum Projekt. In: Bettina Baumgärtel (Hrsg.): Die Düsseldorfer Malerschule und ihre internationale Ausstrahlung 1819–1918.
