[01:00:31] guillom: no a known issue. [01:01:00] safari has that problem as well. And if i rmember then the wikEd guy said it cannot be fixed at this moment. [01:01:33] thedj, what are you refering to? [01:02:02] "humpf, Ctrl-Z doesn't undo a Ctrl-V any more in FF 3.5.8" [01:02:15] ah ok [01:02:34] I came back home in the meantime, didn't know what you were talking about :) [01:03:34] ah, i only now notice you said that like 1,5 hour ago [02:30:00] parutron: btw. there are reports on english wikipedia that "Internet explorer is jumping around in the edit interface, and has 'changed'" [02:30:09] might be related to yesterdays deploy [02:30:24] oh no! [02:30:39] thanks thedj i am going to look into that now. [02:30:50] can you point me to anywhere these reports are taking place? [02:31:03] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk#Editing_window_scrolls_automatically_if_certain_keys_are_used [02:31:31] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VP/T#Movement_in_the_text_box [02:31:49] thank you so much! [02:31:59] might also be some JS breakage due to yesterdays outage perhaps, but i wouldn't know [02:32:15] looks like these are also non-beta users..... [02:32:38] well the non-beta users have been server beta code by accident before [02:34:00] sigh [02:34:12] haha, some old admin guys whining about the new interface. and MER-C responds with: [02:34:15] "If the usability initiative stuff achieves its aim to reduce the barriers to editing WP, then we'll probably get a lot of new editors. I don't think much thought has been given to the implications of this on admin workload -- do we need to? " [02:38:24] unfortunately, the best thing i can do is relay to the developers on our team that can actually do something about this.... [11:31:35] Hello :) I'm impressed by all the improvement the usability team has achieved, I had a question though, are there plans to make inserting references easier? For example did u study the citation tool where the user enters the url title author and publication date? making inserting a reference much easier and without the need to look at the wikisyntax? [11:50:44] Is there an IRC for the multimedia? [12:51:52] Hi, i've searched for a few minutes but haven't been able to find anything. [12:52:04] Has the usability intiative anything related to thumbnails yet ? [12:58:53] Maybe the multimedia folk do [15:30:15] hey parutron [15:30:31] do you have a 0800-number for the conference call? [15:30:44] I guess it gets really expensive otherwise [15:31:02] i do not. [15:31:53] do I need to do that? I thought the goto link supports me with everything I need [15:32:05] like last time [15:32:32] this set up is different [15:32:44] but i'm not sure as to why the # is different [15:32:53] did you have to call in last time or was it all on your computer? [15:35:23] everything came from the software [15:35:49] what happens when I call via voip? [15:47:35] anyone knows a good voip client? [15:51:47] hannes-_-: did you see nash's email [15:51:51] the number is the same as last time [15:53:54] I didnt call last time [15:54:09] but I have the number - if it s really toll free I can call it [15:54:30] I am looking for a voip atm - but I can t find a good one [15:54:44] parutron: when will the test start? [15:54:52] 9 [16:20:19] RoanKattouw: are u there? [16:20:45] Yes [16:20:57] do u use the wmf voip? [16:21:09] which client do u use? [16:21:15] i cannot find a client [16:23:16] argh this i so annyoing# [16:23:28] I am wathcing the study without sound [16:23:43] RoanKattouw: please help! [16:24:32] I use Twinkle [16:24:37] Not sure if that works on Windows [16:24:48] u have ubuntu? [16:24:51] yes [16:25:13] and do you know if I can call any numbers with that wmf -voip account? [16:25:30] You can [16:30:52] Phh, [16:31:00] Any of you been keeping up with wikitech-l today? [16:31:25] I feel like the Usability Initiative Communications Officer today [16:32:41] a necessary function [16:33:43] Yeah but that person shouldn't be me [16:34:02] Why is that even on wikitech-l? [16:34:18] Someone started this thread [16:34:22] RoanKattouw, you should tell naoko, perhaps she isn't subscribed to wikitech-l [16:34:29] [Wikitech-l] serious questions about UsabilityInitiative going live [16:34:30] yeah. I know. it should probably be on another list [16:34:32] Probably not, no [16:35:29] RoanKattouw: do I need to dial any number or do anything else before I can call a us-number? [16:35:31] Some people think it's definitely not ready for deployment but have as of yet been unable to come up with anything more convincing than the lack of certain toolbar buttons (easily added through local/user JS) and a trivial bug in the image button [16:35:48] hannes-_-: No. You do need to prefix the number with 1, but that applies to all US phones [16:35:56] ah thx [16:36:00] So to call (415) 839 6885 you need to dial 14158396885 [16:36:21] And the prefix for international calls is 011 instead of 00 [16:36:23] hmm my calls gets disconnected [16:38:17] so how do I call a us number than? [16:38:54] What did you try? [16:39:00] without 001 [16:39:04] just 1800 [16:39:20] That should work [16:39:37] nope [16:39:53] Weird [16:42:50] nkomura: hi naoko - do u follow the test? [16:43:01] hey [16:45:30] nkomura: Good morning. There's some renewed uproar on wikitech-l, I spent half an hour today assuring people the world's not gonna end :) http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2010-March/047355.html [16:48:19] i read it as a simple question [16:48:27] blog comments were friendly [16:50:16] Hi, I'm currently reviewing a proposed edit on nl.wiki from thedj. but before trying something of my own, I think it might have been raisen before as it is wiki-wide. I'm talking about the yellow Featured article-start in the interwiki-lijst (FA). Since Vector's list does not have a bullets or list-item-image and overflow:hidden on the
  • 's. I was curious if there has been made a solution before to fix the FA-icons ? [16:50:50] One way would be to undo overflow:hidden on li.FA or negative margin with positive padding and posititoin the start to the left [16:51:14] the start* in the left-center background* [16:51:27] In Monobook this was done by simply swapping the list-item-image [16:51:33] nkomura: Yeah the first post isn't that bad [16:51:55] *nkomura goes to wikitech-l folder [16:51:55] It's the third one or so where there's this guy who claims it's obviously not ready but doesn't point out anything more serious than two lacking toolbar buttons and one broken one [16:52:27] yeahhhh i got sound!! [16:52:29] ^^ [16:52:34] Krinkle: Try looking at other wikis that have fixed this and Firebugging their FA image? [16:52:39] RobH: THX!!! [16:53:38] RoanKattouw: Right :) - I wasn't sure it was fixed yet on other wikis [16:55:45] welcome [16:59:55] RoanKattouw: thank you for following up on the email thread [17:00:03] we are not doing that well in RTL community [17:00:40] Right [17:00:41] not so strange when you consider that there is a backlog of support issues there [17:00:54] and we should spend more time in the language specific communities [17:01:03] Yeah it's probably not specifically us doing worse in RTL, but more like MW in general doing worse [17:01:03] yeah [17:01:13] indeed [17:01:19] But this poster admitted these issues mostly didn't really relate to RTL [17:01:58] we are putting nowiki icon back in [17:02:06] that's already mocked by hannes-_- [17:02:35] we should work on customization instruction to make that explicit [17:03:04] O [17:03:10] RoanKattouw: so i am hearing two different explanation about the default setting [17:03:17] Yes I have acknowledged some of that page is less than helpful [17:03:35] So I will add a section with easy-instant-copypaste snippets for specific buttons [17:03:39] nkomura: What's that? [17:03:56] nimish says that there is no such as thing as default setting [17:04:13] but i recall you explained to us that the default setting is tracked [17:04:24] Ah? [17:04:28] it's not really [17:04:31] Could you be more specific? [17:04:35] I don't really understand either of you [17:04:40] and we can avoid overriding people who choose away from the default setting [17:04:41] Is this about skins? [17:04:48] yes [17:04:49] Ok, so here's what nkomura wants, I believe [17:04:56] FYI there is a nice amount of localisation going on for the toolbox [17:04:59] i can explain what i want [17:05:02] :D [17:05:04] hehe ok [17:05:20] I know that what you were talking about doesn't exist in our current system tho [17:05:31] so i want to make sure that we do not override the skin preference of users [17:06:20] if say a user changed the setting from monobook (current) skin to nostargia [17:06:33] when we introduce vector as default skin, [17:06:43] can this user maintain nostargia? [17:07:19] basically, RoanKattouw, right now we don't know if a user is using monobook b/c it's just the default or because they expressly want monobook. If we make Vector default, all the users using monobook will have vector b/c the default skin pref isn't stored afaik. we want to let users differentiate in preferences between "I'll take the default, whatever it is" and "I want monobook/vector/whatever, which *also* happe [17:08:09] nkomura: Yes, they will keep Nostalgia [17:08:22] More generally, any users whose skin is neither Monobook nor Vector will not be affected skin-wise [17:08:39] nimish_g: Cutoff after which *also* happe [17:08:49] But yeah I get what you mean [17:09:07] We could go this using the optin data [17:14:20] RoanKattouw: i want our beta another chance to opt-out users too [17:15:23] beta users tried the beta at different phase of the beta period [17:16:30] nimish_g, answered [17:16:34] (your talk page) [17:16:59] RoanKattouw_away: Okay, I got it to work [17:17:47] so just because they opt-out beta at one point, it does not mean that they experienced the features we are offering as default features [17:18:08] Something else, tho. It seems to be different form wiki to wiki. But sometimes the editor is an
