=== Future changes ===
The '''[[:mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab|single edit tab]]''' project will combine the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab.
This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. ([[phab:T102398|T102398]]) Initially, the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the {{int:prefs-editing}} tab of [[Special:Preferences]]:
* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-remember-last}},
* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-ve}},
* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-wt}}, and
* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-multi-tab}}. (This is the state for people using the visual editor now.)
The visual editor uses the same search engine as [[Special:Search]] to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most [[:mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts|"Phase 6" Wikipedias]] during the next few months. This will affect the following languages, amongst others:
[[:w:ja: |'''Japanese''']], [[:w:ko:|'''Korean''']], [[:w:ur: |'''Urdu''']], [[:w:fa: |'''Persian''']], [[:w:ar: |'''Arabic''']], [[:w:ta: |'''Tamil''']], [[:w:mr: |'''Marathi''']], [[:w:ml: |'''Malayalam''']], [[:w:hi: |'''Hindi''']], [[:w:bn: |'''Bengali''']], [[:w:as: |'''Assamese''']], [[:w:th: |'''Thai''']], [[:w:arc: |'''Aramaic''']].
=== Let's work together ===
* Please try out the newest version of the '''[[:mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab|single edit tab]]''' on [[test2wiki:Special:Random|test2.wikipedia.org]]. You may need to restore the default preferences (at the bottom of [[test2wiki:Special:Preferences]]) to see the initial prompt for options. Were you able to find a preference setting that will work for your own editing? Did you see [[:c:File:VisualEditor single edit tab preference dialog.png|the large preferences dialog box]] when you started editing an article there?
* <mark>Can you read and type in Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Indic, or Han scripts?</mark> Does typing in these languages feels natural in the visual editor? Language engineer [[:mw:User:DChan (WMF)|David Chan]] needs to know. Please see the instructions at [[:mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test]] if you can help. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at [[:mw:Topic:St8y4ni42d0vr9cv|the feedback thread on mediawiki.org]].
* Learn how to improve the "automagical" [[:mw:citoid|citoid]] referencing system in the visual editor, by creating [[:en:Zotero|Zotero]] translators for popular sources in your language! Join the [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2016-February/084840.html Tech Talk about "Automated citations in Wikipedia: Citoid and the technology behind it"] with Sebastian Karcher on 29 February 2016.

== Wikimania 2016: call for posters, discussions and trainings ==
Hi people,<br/>
the calls for posters, discussions and trainings for Wikimania 2016 are officially opened, you can find all the relevant links on the conference wiki:
https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions
The calls will be closed on March 20.
Posters will be reviewed just to make sure that there aren't things which are too much out of scope. Since we have a whole village we will surely find places to attach them, even if we they will be a lot!
Discussions will be managed by a guiding committee who will work on the wiki to meld all the proposals and suggestions.
Trainings will be reviewed by the programme committee. Please note that we request that each training has at least 3-5 interested attendees in order to be put in the programme.
By the beginning of April we will have a first list of all the accepted proposals.
If you have questions we suggest you to ask them on the discussion pages on wiki, so that everyone will be able to see them (and their answers, of course).
We are looking forward to read your ideas! --[[Úsáideoir:Yiyi|Yiyi]] ([[Plé úsáideora:Yiyi|talk]]) 15:25, 29 Feabhra 2016 (UTC)

== Updates to wiki search auto completion are arriving 10 March==
Hello!
{{Int:Please-translate}}. {{Int:Feedback-thanks-title}}
The [[:m:User:CKoerner (WMF)/Work/Completion Suggester beta reminder and coming soon|completion suggester beta feature]] will become the default at the first group of wikis on '''Thursday, 10 March'''. This initial rollout will start with some of the smaller wikis to ensure the change happens in an organized way. The remaining wikis will receive the update on Wednesday, 16 March. This update brings three major improvements to search. Improved search result ordering, a tolerance for a small number of spelling errors, and suggests fewer typos.
Since December 2015, 19,000 editors have already opted into the completion suggester beta feature. Contributors are encouraged to [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|try out the feature]] ahead of the release. Please share any comments on the Completion Suggester [[mw:Help:CirrusSearch/CompletionSuggester|discussion page]] in any language.
To learn more about the work of the Discovery department and other improvements to search, please check out [[wmfblog:2015/12/23/search-and-discovery-on-wikipedia/|the Wikimedia blog]]. Read about [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:CirrusSearch|CirrusSearch]], the MediaWiki extension that makes wiki search possible.</div> - [[User:CKoerner (WMF)]] ([[m:User talk:CKoerner (WMF)|talk]]) 22:09, 7 Márta 2016 (UTC)

==Aistriúcháin uathoibríocha srl==
Ní ghlactar le fada an lá le haistriúcháin uathoibríocha ar Vicipéid na Gaeilge. Bíonn an Ghaeilge iontu dothuigthe agus tógann sé níos mó ama iad a cheartú ná na hailt a scríobh as an nua. Ó am go ham is fiú ceann gairid a choimeád má's alt é atá ag teastáil uainn go géar agus má thig le duine é a ghlanadh go tapa.
Má fheiceann sibh alt atá aistrithe go huathoibríoch, bíodh 'fhios agaibh go bhfuil cead againn go léir a scriosadh a mholadh. Níl i gceist ach an focal "scrios" a scríobh le dhá lúibín ar gach taobh de. Níos fearr, scríobhtar "scrios|Aistriúchán uathoibríoch".
Maidir le [[Comórtas Amhránaíochta na hEoraifíse 2016]] agus a leithéid níor thuig mé gur astriúchán uathoibríoch a bhí ann in aon chor. Tá meas agam ar na daoine a dhéanann an obair fhadálach sin ag cur táblaí le chéile. Thug mé faoi deara go raibh droch-rogha á dhéanamh go minic sna táblaí (agus san téacs a ghabhann leo, ach ní bhíonn mórán de sin ann). Cheartaigh mé táblaí agus téacs anseo is ansiúd chun leid nó treoir a thabhairt do dhaoine, ach ní raibh sé d'am agam é a dhéanamh go córasach.
Is féidir leis an duine ar bheagán Gaeilge obair fhiúntach a dhéanamh ach an tuiscint aige/aici go bhfuil a c(h)umas le téacs a scríobh teoranta. Ba chóir an cumas sin acu fás go díreach mar a bhfuil an tionscadal seo againne ag fás.
We all contribute positively to the project, I think. But people at Wiki Level 1 of Irish (or thereabouts) should especially be aware of how far their knowledge of the language can take them. It creates work for others when anyone goes beyond his or her capability. For the project or the language itself to succeed, there has to be a coming together with a steady levelling up of abilities. Vicipéid is a particularly good reflection, I think, of what is going on with the language. Level 1 (and 2 and 3) people should spend some time on self-study, even if it means a little less time editing, so that they grow as the project—and, hopefully, the language—grows. I just did some of that today with ''A Grammar of Modern Irish'' by my old friend Pól Ó Murchú. All of us should also spend some time reading Vicipéid.
