Hello I am still using Almabot from time time to manually fix interwiki messes such as the recent massive add of a link to fa:پپسی (Pepsi) and ie:Prostitution to the Mario article in almost every language. Could you please unblock User:Almabot so that I do not have to do those changes manually on is.wiki in the future? Thanks in advane Nakor 6. janúar 2012 kl. 19:39 (UTC)Reply

Sure, since your bot is already active on 34 wikipedias.--Snaevar 6. janúar 2012 kl. 20:16 (UTC)Reply

Block of Jotterbot

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 12 árum6 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Snaevar,

I see that you have blocked my bot for 150 years for inactivity. Jotterbot is a global bot and it used to run here at some point, but will not be running here as this wiki is not in the global bot list. Please unblock the bot at the earliest, as I do not wish to have my bot blocked anywhere for no reason. A bot being inactive in a wiki should not be a rule to block the bot. May be removing a bot bit or marking the bot as inactive by template would be a better way of doing this.

Thanks in advance --Jyothis 22. janúar 2012 kl. 23:28 (UTC)Reply

Your bot has been unblocked and unflagged.--Snaevar 22. janúar 2012 kl. 23:31 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. Any reason why the bots are being blocked like this here? was this a community decision? --Jyothis 22. janúar 2012 kl. 23:42 (UTC)Reply

heh, my bad, didnt realize that I had this wiki as a bot flagged wiki. removing from my bot's list now. --Jyothis 22. janúar 2012 kl. 23:56 (UTC)Reply

I have removed the wiki from list and restarted. in case you notice it running, please leave a note in stewards channel or my meta talk page. thanks --Jyothis 23. janúar 2012 kl. 00:29 (UTC)Reply

Making a note here, since I haven´t answered your questions properly before. This block was done due to this bot policy-rule, "Bots that have been inactive (not made any edits) for one year or more, can be blocked". This rule was implemented by conseus.

That being said, there are signs that bot operators don´t read the bot-flag rules on is.wikipedia. I am pretty sure that is the case with you also, since it is unlikely that you would ask this question if you would have read the rules in the first place. Thus, you would still think that the rule in question should be changed, but you would have been aware of it. Bot operators should not rely on me telling them how the rules are.

I do think that you have an valid point here about the rule in question. This rule might be changed in the future so bots get their rights removed instead, depending on whether there is an conseus on is.wikipedia for such an change, or not. However, generally speaking, a rule will not be changed just becouse an bot operator thinks that there shouldn´t be such an rule.--Snaevar (spjall) 28. október 2012 kl. 03:39 (UTC)Reply

Megas

Sæll Snævar,

Ég hef verið að kaflaskipta síðunni um http://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megas og fært hana nær stíl alfræðiorðabóka.

Þannig má nú fyrsti kaflinn, um uppeldi hans og nám, teljast frekar "alfræðilegur" þó heimilda sé reyndar ekki getið. Í öðrum kaflanum, um tónlistarferilinn, er stíllinn háfleygari og inniheldur m.a. tónlistargagnrýni og túlkun, sem er kannski í lagi.

Erindi mitt við þig er tvennt:

1. Að sýna fram á að breytingum mínum á síðunni er ekki vel lýst sem "Fjarlægir efni af síðum", heldur er aðallega um að ræða færslu á efni innan síðu. Ég hef ekki stytt efni síðunnar verulega og má hún teljast frekar ítarleg miðað við íslenska tónlistarmenn á is.wikipedia.org almennt. Því vil ég sækja um leyfi til að klára þær fáu viðbótarbreytingar sem ég hafði í huga. Þær snúast reyndar um að bæta við örlitlu efni, en ekki fjarlægja.

2. Það efni sem ég vil bæta við síðuna snýst m.a. um þær heimildir sem efni síðunnar byggir öðru fremur á. Lykilheimildina er að finna í bæklingnum sem fylgdi með plötunni "(Kristilega kærleiksblómin spretta í kringum) Hitt og þetta" frá 2002. Þar er að finna tímamótaritgerð um ævi og störf Megasar eftir Jónatan Garðarsson, en þessa ritgerð má t.d. lesa á vefsíðunni http://hammond.123.is/page/9713/. Ritgerð Jónatans er birt heimild sem ætti að vitna í hér og þar. Til að gera tílvísanir ekki of einhæfar ætti einnig að vitna í bókina Sól í Norðurmýri hér og þar. Ef til vill þyrfti líka að stytta og umorða textann í kaflanum "Tónlistarferill", svo hann sé ekki orðréttur úr ritgerð Jónatans, þrátt fyrir að sú vinna fæli í sér að "Fjarlægja efni af síðum". Það verður auðvelt að bæta inn tilvísunum í heimildir í fyrsta kaflann, um uppeldi og nám, en hvað telur þú best að gera við kaflann um tónlistarferilinn?

Kveðja,

Árni (arnima hjá hafro punktur is) 1. mars 2012 kl. 17:40 (UTC)

Fyrst ætla ég að útskýra afhverju ég bannaði og afbannaði aðganginn þinn og síðan svara spurningunum þínum.

Í skýringunni sem ég gaf þegar ég afbannaði vistfangið segir "skoðaði breytingar hans betur, þær eru allar breytingar á orðalagi, þrátt fyrir að fjarlæging texta sé í meira lagi." Til þess að skilja ástæðurnar að bak við bannið þarf að skoða það í samhengi við bannið á vistfanginu 82.112.83.244, sem setti allskonar bull á síður. Í þeim aðstæðum hef ég tvo möguleika, skoða breytingarnar vel og eiga á hættu að notandinn skemmi enn meira eða taka skyndiákvörðun. Þrennt leiddi til þess að þú varst bannaður. Í fyrsta lagi sú ákvörðun mín að taka skyndiákvörðun um breytingar þínar og 82.122.83.244, í öðru lagi vegna breytinga eins og þessi sem komu frá þér og í þriðja lagi að við þessa skyndiákvörðun skoðaði ég breytingar eins og þessa eina og sér en ekki í samhengi við aðrar breytingar sem þú hefur gert áður. Ef litið er á breytinguna eina og sér má skilja hana þannig að textinn hafi verið fjarlægður sem er óheppilegt. Það var því samspil þess að textinn var fjarlægður og að breytingin kom á sama tíma og skemmdarverk 82.112.83.244 sem olli því að notendanafn þitt var bannað og síðar tekið aftur þegar breytingarnar voru skoðaðar í samhengi við hverja aðra. Bannið er kanski hart, en það væri ágætt að fá skýringar í "breytingarávarpi" þegar breytingar eins og þessar eru gerðar.

1. Greinin Megas var nokkuð ítarleg áður en þú byrjaðir að breyta henni og er það ennþá. Þegar þú færir efni eins og í þessum tveimur breytingum 1 2 þá ef litið er á fyrstu breytinguna eina og sér er hægt að skilja hana þannig að textinn hafi verið fjarlægður. Það er ekki fyrr en seinni breytingin er skoðuð að það kemur í ljós að hann hefur bara verið færður til. Persónulega myndi ég færa efni í einni breytingu, en það er í raun uppundir þér sjálfum komið hvernig þú breytir greinum á Wikipediu. Öllum er frjálst að breyta wikipediu og ég lít svo á að ég hafi ekkert sérstakt leyfi til þess að gefa heimildir fyrir slíku. Ég get þó sagt að ég hef ekkert á móti því að þú gerir það.

2. Greinarnar þurfa í að vera lausar við staðreyndavillur. Sjálfur lít ég svo á að svo framalega að greinin uppfylli það skilyrði (og sé markverð) skipti það ekki öllu máli þótt að hver einasta setning í greininni sé ekki með heimild á bak við sig. Þannig þrátt fyrir að það finnist ekki heimildir fyrir öllu í kaflanum "Tónlistarferill" þá myndi ég samt láta það standa.--Snaevar 7. mars 2012 kl. 18:09

Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 12 árum1 athugasemd1 aðili í umræðu

I'm sorry, but I only speak English.

Hello! I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page at mediawiki.org. Sumanah (spjall) 6. apríl 2012 kl. 02:24 (UTC)Reply

Er hægt að fá einfalda skýringu á því? Takk fyrir - Kristján Frímann Kristjánsson (spjall) 19. apríl 2012 kl. 14:08 (UTC)Reply

Class, Style og textstyle eru möguleikar þar sem hægt er að setja inn HTML kóða til þess að breyta sniðinu. Class breytir töflunni, style breytir útliti kassans og textstyle breytir útliti textans. Reyndar henti ég "class" möguleikanum út, því hann hefur takmarkað notagildi. Ég bætti vð möguleikanum "jöfnun-kassa" sem setur kassann til hægri með orðinu "hægri" og til vinstri með orðinu "vinstri". Tæknilega séð eru engar takmarkanir á því hversu stórt brotið má vera. Spilarinn er einn, það er fyrir eina hljóðskrá. Þær tilraunir sem ég gerði að hafa fleiri spilara misheppnuðust og því hef ég tekið þær til baka. Sniðið er ekki lengur "kassi með nokkrum spilurum", heldur eingöngu einum.--Snaevar (spjall) 19. apríl 2012 kl. 15:29 (UTC)Reply

Takk fyrir upplýsingarnar. En spilarinn er ekki að gera sig. Ég prófaði að setja hann til hægri, þá lenti hann fyrst inni á miðri síðu, svo kom ég honum loks hægra megin. Þá prófaði ég að setja hann til vinstri en nú sat hann fastur hægra megin sama hvað ég reyndi að mjaka honum. - Kristján Frímann Kristjánsson (spjall) 19. apríl 2012 kl. 22:18 (UTC)Reply

Þegar þú prófaðir að setja hann fyrst til hægri, var þá mynd eða upplýsingasnið hægra megin við hann? Ef svo er, þá getur spilarinn ekki farið í gegnum myndina og þá þarf að setja hann á annan stað í textanum þar sem myndin nær ekki til.

Til þess að ég geti lagfært villuna þar sem spilarinn fer ekki til vinstri þarf ég að geta endurgert villuna, en þessi möguleiki virkar rétt í hvert skipti sem ég prófa hann. Set tvo spilara hér fyrir neðan, einn til vinstri og hinn til hægri.

Article translation request

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 12 árum7 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Hi Snaevar, how are you? Mate, I am trying to find an editor/s who can help by translating User:Russavia/Polandball into Icelandic. I noticed that you have recently expanded the Icelandair article on iswp, so I was wondering if we could make a trade?

If you could translate that article into Icelandic for me, I would be happy to upload some 50 Icelandic aviation photos to Commons from amongst the 200,000 I have permission to upload. I have just uploaded a new photo today of a new Icelandic airline, and I will keep a gallery at User:Russavia of photos uploaded.

Would you be interested in such a "trade"? Do let me know, either by responding here, or on my talk page, or by emailing me. Cheers, Russavia (spjall) 12. júní 2012 kl. 09:50 (UTC)Reply

I'm fine. We could make such an trade, sure. I'll add that article to my todo list. By the way, the comic "Estonia cannot into Nordic" is really funny.--Snaevar (spjall) 12. júní 2012 kl. 14:13 (UTC)Reply

Fantastic! Thanks mate. Appreciated. Feel free to edit the article in my userspace if you like, and it can simply be moved into mainspace when done when done. Also, I have already started uploading Icelandic aviation photos to Commons, and you can see them at User:Russavia. I am trying to get as many from Iceland as possible; even including small aircraft. There will be quite a few older Icelandair photos and the like to be uploaded as well. Already in Icelandair you can see some of the photos I uploaded some time ago. I will make a concerted effort in the coming days to get 50-60 photos uploaded, and put as many into articles on iswp as I can. Feel free to contact me with any questions, etc. Cheers, Russavia (spjall) 12. júní 2012 kl. 14:39 (UTC)Reply

Great. The expansion that I did on the Icelandair article was from the early years of the company (1970-2005), so those old photos fit in just fine.--Snaevar (spjall) 14. júní 2012 kl. 17:13 (UTC)Reply

Sweet. I will continue to upload photos, with as many vintage Icelandair and Air Atlanta Icelandic, etc pics as possible. And will continue to gallerise (is that a word? lol) on my userpage. I really do hope that they come in handy for article creation and/or expansion on Icelandic WP. And I will also be contacting Icelandic aviation photographers to get their works released under a free licence. I'll let you know of any successes there :)

Thanks a lot mate for the translation, it looks great. Do you have "DYK" here on Icelandic Wikipedia? :) Cheers, Russavia (spjall) 14. júní 2012 kl. 17:20 (UTC)Reply

Hi Snaevar, just a quick note to let you know that I have now uploaded 50 Icelandic-related aviation photos to Commons, and they are all available in a gallery on my userpage here on Icelandic Wikipedia.

Myndir teknar niður af síðum

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 12 árum4 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Sæll, mig langar að spyrjast fyrir hvers vegna þú ert að taka niður myndir af leikurum af þeim síðum sem ég hef gert af þeim. Eru þær ekki í samræmi við reglur Wikipedia og höfundalög.Ath 15.september 2012 kl. 22:46 (UTC)

Þessar myndir voru fjarlægðar af síðunum og eytt því þær eru ekki í samræmil við reglur Wikipedia, höfundarlög og reglur Wikimedia Foundation sem hýsir wikipedia. Ég ætla að útskýra það nánar hér á eftir.

Íslensku reglurnar voru settar fram sem tillaga á pottinum í júlí síðastliðnum og eru núna á síðunni Wikipedia:Margmiðlunarefni. Þær byggja á íslenskum og bandarískum höfundalögum. Í þeim er það helst regla 1 og 2 sem á við. Regla 1 segir að "eingöngu megi hlaða inn margmiðlunarskrá hingað inn þegar engin sambærileg skrá finnst á Commons". Regla 2 er mun ítarlegri, en til þess að myndin væri leyfð þyrfti myndin bæði að vera skjáskot úr kvikmynd og vera að hámarki 300 díla (pixla) stór.

Í þeim tilvikum þar sem sambærilegar myndir voru til á Commons þá setti ég þær inn.

Í reglum Wikimedia Foundation er helst ein tilvitnun sem skiptir máli. Til þess að skilja hana þarf að útskýra hugtakið EDP. EDP eru reglur wiki verkefnis sem segja til um hvaða myndir má hlaða inn. Reglurnar á Wikipedia:Margmiðlunarefni eru EDP reglur is.wikipedia.

An EDP may not allow material where we can reasonably expect someone to upload a freely licensed file for the same purpose, such as in the case for almost all portraits of living notable individuals.“

>>>Takk fyrir þessar upplýsingar ég var ekki búin að sjá þessar nýju reglur en er búin að skoða málið núna og reyni að samræmast þeim. Hvernig er best að velja myndir á Commons og hvað þarf að hafa í huga þegar verið er að velja þær. Síðan er eitt samt sem ég er ekki viss með - ef ég finn ekki leikarann á Commons má ég nota t.d heimasíðu 'þátta', heimasíðu leikaras sjálfs eða síðu á borð við 'TVguide.com' til að finna myndir og nota? Væri það í samræmi við þessar nýju reglur. Ath 16.september 2012 kl. 01:32 (UTC)

Hvernig er best að velja myndir?

Það er tvennt sem skiptir máli. Í fyrsta lagi að andlit leikarans sjáist greinilega og í öðru lagi að myndin sé aldrei sýnd stærri en hún er. Frekar á að sýna ljósmyndir jafnstórar og þær eru eða minni.

Má ég nota myndir frá vefsíðum eins og TVGuide, ef ég finn ekki leikarann á Commons?

Myndin þarf þá að vera skjáskot úr kvikmynd eða sjónvarpsþætti. Ég ætla að taka eina af myndunum sem þú hefur hlaðið inn sem dæmi, Mynd:Diazreevesfeelingminnesota.jpg. Á IMDB stendur "Still of Cameron Diaz and Kenau Reeves in Feeling Minnesota". "Still" er ljósmynd sem er tekin við framleiðslu myndarinnar. Þessi mynd er því í lagi.

Þar að auki þarf myndin að vera að hámarki 300 dílar að breidd, þannig að í sumum tilfellum þyrfti að minnka myndina. En, það er alltaf hægt að hlaða inn nýrri útgáfu af myndinni sem væri minni, svo ég hef engar áhyggjur af því.--Snaevar (spjall) 16. september 2012 kl. 13:39 (UTC)Reply

Files from Reykjavík Museum of Photography Flickr stream

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 11 árum2 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Hi mate, long time no see, hope you are doing well. I have uploaded to Commons 100 photos from Iceland from the beginning of the 20th century. They can be seen at Commons:Category:Files from Reykjavík Museum of Photography Flickr stream. The files themselves need some cleaning up, particularly in relations to categories. Could you please advise where the best place on is.wp would be to alert the community to the existence of these photos so that interested editors can help to categorise and possibly begin to utilise them here on is.wp.

Hvaðan koma hnitin?

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 11 árum5 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Þetta er frekar forvitnisspurning frekar en annað; en hvaðan koma sum hnitin sem þú hefur verið að setja inn nýlega? Vinnurðu þau á vélrænan eða handvirkan hátt? -Svavar Kjarrval (spjall) 28. mars 2013 kl. 03:10 (UTC)Reply

Reyndar var megnið af þessum breytingum leiðréttingar á hnitum frekar en að bæta þeim við. Allar breytingarnar voru gerðar með handvirkum hætti (sumar með aðstoð vasareiknis).

Aðeins í tveimur breytingum, á Laugardalslaug og Búrfellshyrnu fjarlægði ég hnitið sem var fyrir og bætti öðru nákvæmara hniti við. Hnitið á Laugardalslaug var fengið frá Google Maps og hnitið á Búrfellshyrnu frá grein um sama fjall á ensku wikipediu.

Leiðréttingarnar voru tvennskonar.

Á sumum síðunum voru mínótur eða sekóndur ýmist breiddar eða lengdar of margar. Mínótur og sekóndur hnita á jörðinni geta ekki verið stærri en 60. Í þeim breytingum sem sekóndurnar voru fleiri en 60 þá hækkaði ég mínótuna um einn og dró 60 frá sekóndunni. Kanski mætti líkja þessu við klukkuna. Það er vitlaust að segja að klukkan sé 1:72, en rétt að segja að hún sé 2:12. Þetta er ekkert ósvipað því.
Á öðrum síðum var gildið type= gefið, oftast sem type=city, í staðinn fyrir type:city eins og það ætti að vera.

Þessar leiðréttingar voru síðan gerðar í tengslum við það að ég var að breyta hnitasniðunum (Snið:Hnit og Snið:Coor) svo þær notuðust við Lua skriftu, Module:Hnit. Ef sniðin hefðu ekki notast við Lua skriftuna þá hefði vantað mikinn fjölda af undirsniðum bara svo þau myndi virka eins og þau ættu að gera.--Snaevar (spjall) 28. mars 2013 kl. 12:02 (UTC)Reply

Veit ekki hvort hnit fengin af Google Maps uppfylli kröfur WikiMedia um löglegheit. En breytingarnar hafa verið nokkuð flottar. Ég hef t.d. verið að tengja landfræðilega staði við Wikipedia á OpenStreetMap og það er örugglega sjálfsagt að byggja hnitin á þeim gögnum. Hef annars verið að spá hvort það sé hægt að ákvarða hnitin á sjálfvirkari hátt en það krefst auðvitað forritunarvinnu sem mun örugglega taka einhvern tíma. Endilega haltu áfram því sem þú ert að gera því það er mjög gott. -Svavar Kjarrval (spjall) 28. mars 2013 kl. 14:57 (UTC)Reply

Rakst annars á þessa hnitareiknivél sem þú getur notað. http://www.earthpoint.us/Convert.aspx -Svavar Kjarrval (spjall) 30. mars 2013 kl. 02:10 (UTC)Reply

Ég stórefa að GoogleMaps eigi einhvern rétt á þessum hnitum, þar sem hnitið er ekki beinlínis á skrá hjá þeim. Ég er frekar að nota GoogleMaps sem tól til þess að finna hnitið. Þar að auki skiptir kortagrunnurinn ekki máli; ég gæti þessvegna notað kortavef landmælinga íslands og gert það sama.

Ef það er til .txt eða XML skrá yfir hnit sem ætti að bæta við þá væri hægt að setja inn hnitin á sjálfvirkan hátt. Það væri hægt með því að setja upp pywikipediabot, bæta þessari skriftu við og síðan keyra hana í commandline.

Takk fyrir reiknivélina, en ég er viss um að ég þurfi ekki á henni að halda.--Snaevar (spjall) 30. mars 2013 kl. 16:33 (UTC)Reply

Tech News: 2013-44

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

New features

The style and colors for warning boxes, error messages, and success messages in all skins of MediaWiki has been changed. [147]

VisualEditor news

You will soon be able to switch from editing in VisualEditor to editing wikitext directly without having to save the page. You can't yet switch from wikitext to VisualEditor but developers hope to make it possible in the future. [148]

Problems

There was a problem on October 31 during the activation of MediaWiki 1.22wmf2 on test wikis. mediawiki.org was also broken, and if you had problems logging in, it was probably because of this as well.

Future

Because of the problem with MediaWiki 1.22wmf2, the calendar has changed. It will be added to mediawiki.org and non-Wikipedia sites on November 4, and all Wikipedia sites on November 7.

JavaScript / Gadget developers

Due to a recent change, gadgets and user scripts that use jQuery UI should explicitly load the appropriate modules, as they may not be loaded by default. [149]
Developers have started to remove long-deprecated methods. You should check the JavaScript console (in debug=true mode) and look for deprecation warnings and their stack trace. [150]

Tech News: 2013-45

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

New features

You can now use the "Autonym" font of the Universal Language Selector (ULS) to display the name of languages (for example in navigation templates) in their correct script. To do this, add the CSS class "autonym" to the elements that include language names. Note that this font only works for the name of languages, not for any other text. [151]

Problems

There was a problem with Parsoid (the program used by VisualEditor to convert wikitext to annotated HTML) on November 4, between 19:40 and 20:40 (UTC). Encoding issues caused non-ASCII characters (including those with diacritics, like "é") to be broken when converted to wikitext and saved to the page. [152]

Future

The Beta Features tool is now available on Commons and Meta-Wiki. With it, you can test new features before they're added for everyone. The plan is to add this tool to all wikis on November 21. [153]
MediaWiki 1.23wmf3 was added to test wikis on November 7. It will arrive to non-Wikipedia wikis on November 12 and all Wikipedia wikis on November 14 (calendar). [154]
The MassMessage tool will be added to all wikis on November 14. It will make it simpler to send messages across wikis. [155]
The button of the Search page will soon be changed to be blue and bigger (see the difference). [156]
You will soon be able to add a page name as parameter for {{REVISIONID}}, {{REVISIONUSER}} and {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} and similar functions, by writing for example {{REVISIONID:Apple}}. [157]
In the future, when you hide a CentralNotice banner on a wiki, it will also be hidden on other Wikimedia sites. [158]

Problems

There was a problem caused by too many requests to the database on November 14. [159]

Future

MediaWiki 1.23wmf4 was added to test wikis on November 14. It will arrive to non-Wikipedia wikis on November 19 and all Wikipedia wikis on November 21 (calendar).
The new Search tool (CirrusSearch) will be added to *.wikimedia.org, Wikimania and Wikisource wikis on November 19, and Wiktionary wikis on November 21 (except where it's already available). Once it is added, you can test it by adding &srbackend=CirrusSearch to the address of the search results page. It will become the main search engine on Wikivoyage wikis on November 21. [160]
The MassMessage tool will be added to all wikis on November 19 instead of November 14. It will make it simpler to send messages across wikis. [161]

VisualEditor is one of those features on sites where it works and isn't automatically enabled. There is also a new media viewer and changes in the article text style. [162]
Tools developers can now create tools that use the OAuth protocol to connect to accounts on Wikimedia sites. As a user, you can use those tools to make edits and other changes with your account without giving the tool your password. [163]

Problems

Wikis that are currently testing CirrusSearch had problems with search results on November 18 from 16:00 to 20:00 UTC.

Future

There will be no major code changes on the week of November 25 because many developers will be on holiday for Thanksgiving.

Breyting á stubbasniði-skeyta tvö saman

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 10 árum3 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Ég sá að þú varst að prófa að setja saman stubbasniðið æviágrip og land. Ég prófaði þetta á greininni um Abraham Lincoln en ekki varð til ný mappa með þeim stubbi undir landinu né æviágripinu. Ef ég setti æviágrip á undan gerðist ekkert, en ef ég setti landið á undan varð til flokkurinn Wikipedia:Æviágripsstubbar tengdir Bandaríkjunum, neðst á síðunni en ekki inn í stubbaflokknum, hvorki undir Bandaríkin né æviágrip. Bragi H (spjall) 28. nóvember 2013 kl. 10:11 (UTC)Reply

Sniðið er kóðað þannig að landið þarf að vera tilgreint sem annar undirflokkur til þess að það skeyti saman æviágrip og land.

Ég reikna með að þegar þú hafðir séð flokkinn "Wikipedia:Æviágripsstubbar tengdir Bandaríkjunum" neðst á greininni "Abraham Lincoln" þá hafir þú smellt á flokkinn "Wikipedia:Æviágripsstubbar tengdir Bandaríkjunum" og séð að hann væri hvorki í flokknum "Wikipedia:Stubbar sem tengjast Bandaríkjunum" né "Wikipedia:Æviágripsstubbar". Ef ég hef misskilið það, endilega láttu mig vita. Mitt svar við því er að flokkurinn "Wikipedia:Æviágripsstubbar tengdir Bandaríkjunum" hefur ekki verið búinn til og þar af leiðandi er hann hvorki inn í æviágrips né bandaríkjastubba flokkunum.--Snaevar (spjall) 6. desember 2013 kl. 18:46 (UTC)Reply

Skil, ég þarf þá að prófa að búa til flokkinn fyrst, hélt kannski að svona sbið myndi búa hann til sjálfkrafa. Ég prófa þetta, takk. Bragi H (spjall) 7. desember 2013 kl. 10:26 (UTC)Reply

New features

The CommonsMetadata feature was added to all wikis. It creates metadata information about multimedia files (like their license) that can be read automatically by computer programs. It not only works for Commons, but for all wikis, and you can use it for files on your wiki by editing templates used to describe metadata. [165]
JavaScript code used on Wikimedia sites is now saved locally on your computer to load faster. [166]

VisualEditor

You can now paste formatted content copied from external sources (not just as plain text) into VisualEditor; this includes copy/pasting from other VisualEditor windows. [167]
You can now open VisualEditor by adding ?veaction=edit to the page URL, regardless of your user preferences. [168]
Many bugs have been fixed, and VisualEditor should also look faster, for example when you save a page. [169]

Problems

Due to issues, the new search tool ("CirrusSearch") was recently removed from wikis where it was enabled, then added again. [170]

Future

MediaWiki 1.23wmf6 was added to test wikis on December 5. It will arrive to non-Wikipedia wikis on December 10 and all Wikipedia wikis on December 12 (calendar).
The old Etherpad tool (replaced by a new version) will be removed on December 30, 2013. You can still save old pads before that date using the old address: https://etherpad-old.wikimedia.org. [171]

Myndir á Wikibókum

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 10 árum2 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Ég veit ekki hvort þú fylgist eitthvað með spjalli þínu á Wikibókum svo ég endurtek það sem ég spurði þig um þar. Ég sé að þú ert að skipta út myndum sem einhverra hluta vegna virðast hlaðast inn á wikibækur þótt maður upphaflega sæki þær á commons. Hvernig fer ég að því og eyði þeim þaðan og vísa beint á viðkomandi mynd á commons, þær heita allar sömu nöfnum og ég er ekki að finna út úr því hvernig ég fer að því að vísa beint. Wikibækur virðist bara hlaða þeim hér sjálfkrafa inn þótt maður upphaflega sé að vísa á þær beint frá commons. Bragi H (spjall) 20. janúar 2014 kl. 08:53 (UTC)Reply

Ég svaraði þessu á notendaspjalli mínu á wikibókum, fyrst að spurningin kom fyrst upp þar.--Snaevar (spjall) 20. janúar 2014 kl. 17:23 (UTC)Reply

You can watch a video to learn how to report problems in Bugzilla. [248]

Ragnar Bjarnason

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 10 árum2 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Hi Snaevar, in relation to Ragnar Bjarnason, it currently has an image in the infobox Mynd:RagnarBjarnasonáHótelSögu.jpg which appears to be non-free? I just uploaded File:Raggi Bjarna, An Icelandic Music Legend.jpg to Commons and this is definitely free. Should the old photo be deleted from is.wp? And replaced in usage perhaps with the free image? Because I'm not sure of the old photo, I thought I would drop you a line and let you decide. Cheers, Russavia (spjall) 17. mars 2014 kl. 08:10 (UTC)Reply

I have deleted the local image and replaced it on Ragnar Bjarnason with the file you just uploaded. The local image (RagnarBjarnasonáHótelSögu.jpg) is from the 1960's and it has an non-commercial use restriction, making it non-free.--Snaevar (spjall) 17. mars 2014 kl. 20:44 (UTC)Reply

Future software changes

Starting on July 9, it will be possible to globally rename global (SUL) users. The feature was first scheduled for July 1, but was delayed due to bugs.
A plan to enable CirrusSearch as the primary search method on the 11 largest Wikimedia wikis has now been prepared. [656]

Bot flag on frwiki

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 10 árum2 athugasemdir1 aðili í umræðu

Hello,

As a bureaucrat on frwiki, I was checking the activity of the bots, and noticed that yours had been inactive for at least 6 months. Morover, the interwikis are now centralized on Wikidata. It is not reasonable that an unmonitored account keeps a bot flag, as it may be more easily hacked. Do you wish to keep the bot flag? If this is the case, please tell me so (preferably on my talk page on frwiki, otherwise on my talk page on this project). Without any answer from you, the bot flag will be removed in one month.

Thank you for your comprehension, Litlok (spjall) 10. júlí 2014 kl. 15:47 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your answer; I've removed the bot flag. Litlok (spjall) 20. júlí 2014 kl. 20:43 (UTC)Reply

An important message about renaming users

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 10 árum1 athugasemd1 aðili í umræðu

Dear Snaevar, My aplogies for writing in English. Please translate or have this translated for you if it will help. I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.

As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.

Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.

The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.

Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.

In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.

Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 25. ágúst 2014 kl. 18:24 (UTC)Reply

Hi, you can find here instructions to customize the local character inserter. Let me know if you need further help. Best, --Elitre (WMF) (spjall) 24. september 2014 kl. 10:21 (UTC)Reply

VisualEditor’s special character inserter has been re-designed. Because you previously shared your opinions on the old “floating box” version, I would like your feedback on the new, full-width design. Click here to open the Sandbox at mediawiki.org. As of this morning, this sandbox only shows a small, basic set of special characters. However, the list of characters can be customized at each wiki. Please test it out, and leave your feedback at the VisualEditor/Feedback page on mediawiki.org. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) (spjall) 5. mars 2015 kl. 19:06 (UTC)Reply

Sena

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 9 árum1 athugasemd1 aðili í umræðu

Sæll Snævar.

Ég heiti Viðar og er verkefnastjóri Senu. Mig langar að breyta Wiki síðunni hjá okkur. Ég fiktaði eitthvað í þessu um daginn en sá svo að þú breyttir þessu aftur.

Er einhver séns að fá að breyta þessum upplýsingum aftur eða á ég bara að láta eyða þessu og setja nýja síðu upp?

Það sem mig langar að breyta:

Um: Sena er leiðandi í afþreyingu á Íslandi. Við gefum út tónlist, kvikmyndir, tölvuleiki og bækur. Sena rekur einnig Smárabíó, Háskólabíó og Borgarbíó Akureyri.

About: Sena is a clear leader in entertainment business in Iceland. Doing business in various areas: Films, Music, Video Games, Digital Distribution, Events and Books.

Við erum ekki í eigu 365. Þetta eru gamlar upplýsingar og gamalt lógó. Hér eru linkar á heimasíður okkar. Svo var ég búinn að setja inn nýtt lógó sem þú tókst út. Það væri frábært að fá það aftur inn.

http://www.sena.is/ http://www.smarabio.is/

Kv, Viðar Brink

@Viddibrink: Ég er að gagnrýna ritstílinn á þessum breytingum og hvað sé tilgreint. Staðreyndirnar eru í fínu lagi, en það skiptir máli hvernig þetta er sett upp. Það eru þrjú atriði sem er að breytingunum þínum, í fyrsta lagi óæskileg notkun á persónufornöfnum, í öðru lagi of margar skoðanir (sem reyndar voru teknar út af óinnskráðum notanda) og í þriðja lagi er enskur texti ekki settur hingað inn. Ég ætla að útskýra þessi atriði nánar hér á eftir.

Wikipedia tekur ekki afstöðu til viðfangsefnisins, heldur lætur lesandann um það. Skoðanir eru bara settar fram í málum þar sem aðili gagnrýnir viðfangsefnið (senu í þessu tilviki) í fjölmiðlum eða hjá öðrum þriðja aðila. Í því tilviki er skoðun gagnrýnandans og Senu sett fram og lesandinn látinn um að taka sína eigin afstöðu.
Persónufornafnið "Við" er aldrei notað. Í stað þess er nafn þess ("Sena" í þessu tilviki) notað, eða persónufornafnið það.
Síður eru aldrei settar upp á tveimur tungumálum. Wikipedia skiptist í nokkur vefsvæði, þar sem síðurnar eru eingöngu hafðar á einu tungumáli. Þar af leiðandi á enski textinn heima á en.wikipedia.org, en ekki hérna.--Snaevar (spjall) 22. apríl 2015 kl. 16:33 (UTC)Reply

Module:WeatherBox

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 9 árum3 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Hi! I saw that you have helped colleague from Slovenian Wikipedia adapt Module:WeatherBox to their Wikipedia. Well, we (by that I mean Latvian Wikipedia) would like also display only metric values. I copyed to sandbox your code, but it didn't worked, which is working at Slovenian Wikipedia. And yes, I used the correct module version :) I probably just did something else stupid or silly. Could you take a look? --Edgars2007 (spjall) 2. maí 2015 kl. 21:55 (UTC)Reply

The code from the Slovenian wikipedia does not seem to be the same as the Latvian one. That is one part of the problem, but there is an second part to that as well. The second issue is that Lua does not natively support numbers with other decimals than an period. So, to fix that, in the input (in the function getInput to be precise) the number needs to be converted to an number with an dot, and then back again in the output. At that point the module should work as intended.--Snaevar (spjall) 3. maí 2015 kl. 16:51 (UTC)Reply

Sorry. Gave you old version of module sandbox :) Now we have the same module and template in both sandboxes. But results aren't the same. BTW, both sandboxes are in category "Pages with script errors"; maybe the fact, that Latvian Wikipedia's {{formatnum}} doesn't work very well, helps? Ok, point -> comma wouldn't be so important, the important part is getting rid of Fahrenheits and inches. --Edgars2007 (spjall) 4. maí 2015 kl. 15:31 (UTC)Reply

Lýðveldið Ísland

Opinberi titill Íslands er Lýðveldið Ísland. Ég gleymdi að bæta inn vísun en eins og má sjá á að stjórnarskráin nefnist: Stjórnarskrá lýðveldisins Íslands. Því er litið svo á að Lýðveldið Ísland sé opinbert heiti landsins en ekki Íslenska lýðveldið.

Nei. Heimildin sem ég vísaði í breytingu minni er Hvert er formlegt heiti landsins okkkar?. Í fyrstu línu í þeirri heimild stendur orðrétt „Formlegt heiti er Ísland. Það er misskilningur ef menn halda að orðið lýðveldi sé hluti af nafninu.“ Í heimildinni er síðan farið út í afhverju þessi rök þín standast ekki.--Snaevar (spjall) 21. júní 2015 kl. 10:50 (UTC)Reply

Liv and Maddie

This article was deleted due to having text copied from the Faroese Wikipedia which was translated from the English article. Could you restore it? I can't find proof that there is an Icelandic version of the show, but should it use the Icelandic name anyway? Last year an IP attempted to create Dove Cameron who stars in the show and it was deleted, like the article itself. Dove Cameron is an actress and singer who plays the titular roles on the show. The show itself is an American sitcom that airs on Disney Channel. The series stars Dove Cameron in a dual role as identical twin sisters with entirely different personalities who are best friends. I wrote more about the plot in this revision. Also, the same IPs edited Gordy with English content. That needs translation too. Kkjj (spjall) 23. janúar 2017 kl. 18:37 (UTC)Reply

Bersekur is following protocol here. Admins are allowed to delete pages in a different language than Icelandic, it is one of the items mentioned on the English Wikipedia:Overview. We have an backlog of pages that should be created, and it is at Wikipedia:Beiðnir um greinar. Your article does not get any points for having been created already and as far as I am concerned it is in the lowest group of pages in terms of priority.--Snaevar (spjall) 24. janúar 2017 kl. 01:45 (UTC)Reply

The original article was written in Icelandic, can I go back to that version? It was in the history. Also last year I uploaded the show's logo along with the original movie poster for Hefðarfrúin og umrenningurinn. I couldn't find a license for either but are there TV show logos or movie posters that do? Would you restore it if I could add a license? I'll restore the version of Liv and Maddie without the untranslated content that is still more developed than the current. Would that be OK? And what's the license for the TV logo and the movie poster? Kkjj (spjall) 24. janúar 2017 kl. 22:32 (UTC)Reply

On the backlog of pages that should be created, it lists "Menning", but I'm not sure what this means exactly. One of the listings is for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, but what I don't know is if that show is any more relevant than Liv and Maddie. I tried finding the Icelandic title for the show, but I can't seem to find it. I don't know if the show is dubbed in Icelandic or not, and from what I know Liv and Maddie isn't either. My point is if Liv and Maddie is low priority, then is My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic low priority as well? Although it was never created, but does it need to be or should it be taken off the backlog? I noticed that Titanic (kvikmynd 1997) had the poster with a license. If I add the license then can Mynd:Lady-and-tramp-1955-poster.jpg be restored? Either that or just reuploaded. Which is better to do? Kkjj (spjall)

OK, I tried to upload it, but it just says Skapa Mynd:Lady-and-tramp-1955-poster.jpg, which means creating File:Lady-and-tramp-1955-poster.jpg. I forgot how to upload. Even worse, on the Titanic poster it lists a different source than the English Wikipedia. The file I uploaded for Lady and the Tramp was from the English Wikipedia. It exists in English as en:File:Lady-and-tramp-1955-poster.jpg. It should be noted that Lady and the Tramp is more notable than My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, since it is actually dubbed in Icelandic. The Icelandic dub was made in 1995. But from what I know Liv and Maddie, Gordy, and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic are not dubbed. I couldn't find them at least. Does that mean that they are low priority? I also changed Gordy back to the original version that was in Icelandic, even though it currently says Gordy is a pig even though he's really a piglet (baby pig). Is there a word for piglet in Icelandic? Kkjj (spjall) 5. desember 2017 kl. 23:30 (UTC)Reply

Hello Snaevar. I've just partially written the italian page it:1. deild kvenna 1975 adding two islandic book references (a friend of mine bought them from a danish reseller). Now your page need to be updated. I've written a msg to the author (Víðir Sigurðsson) asking for details just because the newspaper Þjóðviljinn in 1975 was reporting a different calendar adding ÍA Akranes in group A. But I havent been able to find any result as I wrote to de:Diskussion:Isländische Fußballmeisterschaft der Frauen 1975 where I detailed the found pages showing up all week-end fixtures. I'm still in doubt ÍA Akranes started that championship, but a strange thing happened: KSI had been waiting the end of last match (july 20) before playing the final match on july 27.--Nipas2 (spjall) 1. ágúst 2017 kl. 14:46 (UTC)Reply

In Þjóðviljinn on the 19th of June, page 8, there is an short news article under the title "ÍA-stúlkurnar hættu þáttöku", translating as "ÍA girls quit participation". In this news article, KSÍ has been notified that the woman team of ÍA has quit partipitation, along with several other teams in other divisions. It is not explained why ÍA did quit at that point.

I used to check usernames on other WMF wikis before the Single user unification in 2015, but after that completed there should not be any accounts that are registered on one WMF wiki, but not on another (like the icelandic wikisource). If that is the case, then that is a bug in the MediaWiki software. Anyway, the issue is twofold, firstly that those 10 users are not registered on the icelandic wikiquote and secondly that all those userpages all have html lint errors, which in the case of non-existant accounts would be pointless to fix.--Snaevar (spjall) 4. mars 2018 kl. 11:17 (UTC)Reply

Help for editing some "knattspyrnu mynd"

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 6 árum8 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Hi Snaevar, I'm Nick (Nipas2) italian user trying to fill up some some "kvenna knattspyrnu" pages left abandoned or never edited, as you can see in my edit logs.

Someone is viewing my work and trying to help, even if not dramatically in troubles, but definitely isnt that much concerned in this matter. But I definitely need to talk with someone editing the teams' symbols as most of the 2nd league teams gets growing up (KSI just added the 2. deild) and some symbols are being shown on your official Federation site, while not these pages.

Please could you help me getting my needs referred to the right operating user / is.wikipedia editor ?. Your reply will be very much appreciated now that some "Lið" need to be completed adding the correct "mynd". Best regards.--Nipas2 (spjall) 25. ágúst 2018 kl. 23:21 (UTC)Reply

Hi Nipas2, thanks for helping out. Some of the symbols for the teams have not been uploaded yet. Do you want team symbols for the 2nd women leaguage teams all the way to its foundation in 1982 or just the current season ?--Snaevar (spjall) 5. september 2018 kl. 08:05 (UTC)Reply

Hi Snaevar, the problem can be defined in two different ways:

check all the missing 2. deild championships on the KSÍ site;

complete those emerging from completing all pages (the work I'm doing), but definitely it takes more time.

I'm aware this work to be necessary for the other 2., 3. and 4. karla deildinn and your free time cannot to be compared to mine, just because I can use it till very late (sometimes 2 am before getting in bed). So I have to let you figure out the problem and wait for your response. I dont really know who else could help us. But someone else (mostly unregistered users) could do it (I hope) and this updating work must be ready for their further commintment.

Please let me know which symbols you're going to make ready to compile the missing {{Lið }} very useful for fastening compiling operations saving much time. Some of the two/three symbols teams are such temporary agreements and I dont know if the Lið(s) could be necessary or not since males championships to be very different from the females due to reducted teams registered in the official activities. Such agreements arent existing in my country so I just have to follow the KSI given names and use them.--Nipas2 (spjall) 16. september 2018 kl. 22:21 (UTC)Reply

Hi Snaevar, that's it the missing ones are mostly on the 1. deild championships as the best newbies got promoted or added to the upper leagues. This is the missing ones list. Please note that I tried to leave empty holes to add the edited ones' in the Lið (I can easily do that if you can upload the basic mynð), hence I'll be reviewing and update all my edited incomplete pages:

Álftanes (Lið to be edited) ksi page;
Augnablik as you can see it in ksi page;
KH as you can see it in ksi page;
Hamrarnir ksi page;
Hvíti riddarinn as you can see it in ksi page;
Skínandi (unknown one);

Multiple crests to be reducted (teams merged for a few years):

Afturelding/Fram two teams united, a single symbol;
ÍR/BÍ/Bolungarvík;
Fjarðabyggð/Leiknir two teams united, a single symbol;
Fjarðab/Höttur/Leiknir need to be reducted in just one (triple) as per ksi page;

Thanks so much for the Höttur one.

My first task had been completed (Pepsideild and 1.deild and Inkasso are online since 2012), 2. deild consisting of just two groups and are very simple to be made up. So most of the recent ones are ok. I dont really know how long these vacations will last and how many 1.deild/2. deild I'll be able to get ready (1982-2011) so that I didn't check for the symbols/crests to be edited and missing.

I actually don't know if those mynds are used in the 2nd and 3rd karla championship, but once made up could be ready for use.--Nipas2 (spjall) 5. september 2018 kl. 10:42 (UTC)Reply

As you maybe noticed I didnt use an authomatic translator, just because causing problems all the time in my language too. So most of the texts I've been using are "basics" copied from previous pages. As per the "finals" english word I put in 1.deild 2015 and 2016 I kindly ask you to review my edited pages and correct them.--Nipas2 (spjall) 5. september 2018 kl. 10:53 (UTC)Reply

I dont really know if my work can be considered all ok, but I'm trying to update the elder ones adding the competition template {{Infobox. To complete this work according to the current championships some mynd must be edited as per the sponsorship the icelandic federation got and had to give name to some (men or womens'). So excepting Pepsi (the latest for top one) all others have to be edited and added in the best possible format (svg, png or jpg). This is the list of some I came across and I didnt find in page containing those already available:

[[Mynd:Inkasso-deild.jpg|250px]] (or png, else svg) in the karlar then added to some konur like this one on ksi site.--Nipas2 (spjall) 5. september 2018 kl. 11:04 (UTC)Reply
[[Mynd:Landsbankadeildinn.jpg|250px]] (or png, else svg) like this one on ksi site.--Nipas2 (spjall) 11. september 2018 kl. 16:09 (UTC)Reply
Soon the Simadeild one will be needed like this one on ksi site.

I cannot edit them just because I don't know the procedures to be accomplished. The symbols werent in use when those pages had been edited and just linking the new ksi pages can be viewed.--Nipas2 (spjall) 15. september 2018 kl. 22:41 (UTC)Reply

Hi Snaevar,
my work will be completed soon but this to remind you too many crests/symbols are waiting for a completion, and I haven't got enough skills to do it by myself (unless teached/tutored about how to do it). Your valuable work will be very much appreciated and useful for the men's teams too (not just for the females football teams). I just hope to be noticed from your about your availability. My goal (completing your females championships pages) is close to an end, and this work will be copied from other wikipedian pages to let foreign and local readers know.

Some mens pages completion and update had been left undone. And I'm very sorry about it.
It's very strange how our pages are overwelmed and followed by hundreds of contributors and yours are the opposite, giving the real sense how football is followed in your country. None working over your local championships. In a certain way being the one to do it without any pressure and time worries gave me the real sense how works must be done, no pressure no worries but I really miss the native icelandic users to thank me or encouraging me to go on or helping me debugging my foults. My work must be reviewed ad updated.

Thanks in advance. Take your time and take care.--Nipas2 (spjall) 17. febrúar 2019 kl. 10:27 (UTC)Reply

Interwikis

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 5 árum4 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Hi,

I see you have reverted some of my modifications.

What is the purpose of having wrong interwikis (i.e. links to a different wikidata element)?

Best regards,

Vargenau (spjall) 8. júlí 2019 kl. 09:56 (UTC)Reply

Those interwikis I reinstated are considered interwiki conflicts. In this case it is the iswiki local interwiki links that are wrong. I have re-reverted myself.--Snaevar (spjall) 8. júlí 2019 kl. 17:00 (UTC)Reply

User:Vargenau: Regarding your bot Escarbot however, there are some erronous removals. I have only gone through roughly half of the wikidata interwiki removals there.

On Faggilding the correct enwiki article is en:Professional certification, which was removed.
On Eftirsjá the correct enwiki article is actually en:Regret (which was removed), not Remorse.
On Berghlaup the bot removed de:Bergsturz, but the icelandic word Berghlaup is actually derived from Bergsturz, and that is also why the german word is mentioned in the article itself. Berghlaup is in fact in the wrong wikidata item.
On Agnes, the uk-wiki link is valid, although I am aware that it is in an different item at wikidata.--Snaevar (spjall) 8. júlí 2019 kl. 21:22 (UTC)Reply

Ah ok ! You just need them to be numbered. Sorry I misunderstood.

Top Division (now Pepsi Max-deild)

Missing Mynd:Pepsi Max-deild.jpg Pepsy Max deild logo (2019);
Missing Mynd:Landsbankadeildinn.jpg Landsbankadeildinn logo (2003 to 2008);
Missing Mynd:Símadeildinn.jpg Símadeildinn logo (2001 to 2002);
Missing Mynd:Landssímadeildinn.jpg Landssímadeildinn logo (2000);
Missing Stofndeild logo (1997)
Missing Mizunodeild logo (1995 to 1996)

Same logos must be added to the males championships.

As per the teams logos are still to be edited:

Dalvik season 1994 (available on KSI page);
Þór/KA/KS season 2001 (3 combined pictures)
Þróttur/Haukar season 2003 (2 combined pictures);
Afturelding/Fjölnir season 2009 (2 combined pictures);

The other crests/pictures (mynd) missing (you can see in the previous talk) are those belonging to the second division, but many of them are related to males team so that in case of editing the missing pages are needed for sure.

Just hope you understood what I wrote and meant.--Nipas2 (spjall) 18. júlí 2019 kl. 21:05 (UTC)Reply

User:Vermont: We do not work in that way around here Vermont. From our perspective you come here and start with making threats. That I gave you an English explanation is an polite thing on my part. I am not in any way required to give you any English explanation of anything, only an Icelandic one. But for your information, your behaviour is in breach with our etiquette. Stop being so arrogant.

What you need to understand is there is an separation between the Wikipedias. What is ok on English wikipedia might not be on others, and that is the case here. There are even Wikipedias out there who will outright ban you for behaviour like this one. Despite that you behave like you are somebody around here, even though this is an different website, with different community, and different trust levels. By the way, you are just digging your own hole by trying to convince me otherwise. I hope you would not try to chase users over to Wikia, with this kind of thing, so don't try that either here.--Snaevar (spjall) 18. ágúst 2019 kl. 11:20 (UTC)Reply

Sameining persónusniða

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 5 árum4 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Sæll, Snævar. Ég var að velta fyrir mér hvort þú gætir breytt sniðinu Snið:Stjórnmálamaður þannig að það sé hægt að fella hluta úr öðrum persónusniðum inn í það? Ég er að hugsa um þetta út af t.d. síðunum Julie Payette og George Weah -- þar væri gott að geta fellt gildi úr upplýsingatöflunum Snið:Geimfari og Snið:Knattspyrnumaður neðst í töfluna.

Ég sé á ensku útgáfunum af þessum síðum að þar er hægt að setja inn gildið „module“ til þess að geta síðan notað breytur úr hinum persónusniðunum í sömu upplýsingatöflu. Gætir þú athugað hvort það sé hægt að breyta sniðunum á íslensku svo þetta sé hægt hér? TKSnaevarr (spjall) 5. nóvember 2019 kl. 21:35 (UTC)Reply

Það var þegar hægt að setja gildið "module" inn og upplýsingatöflu þar inn (alveg eins og gert er á ensku grein George Weah). Ég veit að það er ekki útskýrt nógu vel hvað snið:stjórnmálamaður getur gert.--Snaevar (spjall) 5. nóvember 2019 kl. 22:02 (UTC)Reply

Málið er að þegar maður setur module inn birtist hitt sniðið sem tafla innan töflunnar frekar en bara breytur í sömu töflunni. Auk þess birtast línur fyrir nafn og fæðingardag aftur í þeirri töflu þótt maður setji ekki inn nein gildi fyrir þær breytur. Ég sé að þú ert að vinna í þessu, takk fyrir að nenna því.

Þá orðar maður það þannig að það sé "myndband ársins fyrir kaupiði plötu ársins". Feitletrun hér er bara til áherslu, ég er ekki að leggja til að setja feitletrunina í greinina.--Snaevar (spjall) 11. júní 2020 kl. 15:13 (UTC)Reply

"Myndband ársins" er sérnafn og hefur því stóran staf. Lagið heitir "Kaupiði plötu ársins" og er sérnafn líka og hefur því stóran staf. Það er erfitt að skilja tilgang svigans þíns ef öll setningin er inní honum. Til hvers þá að nota sviga? Þetta "fyrir" orð er ekki nauðsynlegt því tvípunktur er nóg í svona upptalningu. Ég er alls ekki að reyna að vera dónalegur en þú þarft kannski að vanda þig aðeins ef þú ætlar að veita ráðgjöf í að orða hluti. --Rokkstokk

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Já, ég veit. Greinin sagnadansar er undir flokknum sagnadansar, sem er síðan undir íslensk þjóðkvæði. Greinin sagnadansar er ekki bæði undir flokknum sagnadansar og íslensk þjóðkvæði því það felur í sér tvíverknað. Enska wikipedia og Wikimedia Commons (sem eru systurverkefni okkar) eru líka með svona verklag, þetta sést myndrænt á File:Over-categorization.svg.--Snævar (spjall) 24. júní 2022 kl. 04:44 (UTC)Reply

Það er út af því að Melding:Common.css (þar sem stíllinn er) er ekki notaður á mobile, raunar er það eina þemað sem notar common.css ekki. Tengdi Snið:Flatlist við Snið:Hlist/styles.css, sem lagar vandamálið þar. Tengdi líka Snið:Plainlist við Snið:Plainlist/styles.css, sem lagar það.

Lagaði listann, einangraði við aðalnafnrýmið. Sýnist það þurfa að spá meira í þessu. Það eru til hópar eins og hópur 1: Glacier-þjóðgarðurinn_(Bandaríkin) og Glacier-þjóðgarðurinn_(Kanada), hópur 2: Bændaflokkurinn_(fyrri) og Bændaflokkurinn_(síðari). Það er líka til stærri pæling um þetta. Ég hallast að því að það sé betra halda aðgreiningunni, því þó svo að það henti betur akkúrat núna að sleppa henni, þá eru mótrökin svo að með framtíðarsýn í huga, þá sé betra að halda henni. Aðalrökin eru að það þurfi ekki að aðgreina tengla á milli núverandi greinar og greinarinnar sem vantar í framtíðinni (t.d. kvikmyndagrein sem er til, og grein um bókina sem kvikmyndin byggir á sem á eftir að búa til). Sjá Smáfólkið (kvikmynd) sem ég setti á aðgreiningu, vitandi að það sé til myndasaga sem myndin byggir á. Í október sama árs var búin til grein um þessa myndasögu á Smáfólkið. Það besta úr báðum sjónarhornum væri að hafa tilvísun á aðgreininguna. En að sama skapi, ég ætla ekki að fara að taka breytingar aftur sem fjarlægja aðgreininguna.--Snævar (spjall) 7. desember 2022 kl. 11:20 (UTC)Reply

Útskýringar:

Nánast allar Modules nota ritunina local p = {} function p.nafn_adgerdar() end return p. Hefur með uppsetninguna á Modules að gera í hugbúnaðinum. Getur notað hvaða bókstaf eða orð sem er í staðinn fyrir p og nafn_adgerdar, myndir lenda í vandræðum með íslenska stafi hinsvegar.
{} er tafla
local geymir innihald. Gerir það að verkum að það sé hægt að skilgreina hluti, í staðinn fyrir að endurtaka þá eins og í wikikóða
kóði er settur innan function
args eru gildi, stytting fyrir arguments
mw.getContentLanguage():formatDate er það sama og {{#time}}
return skilar útkomunni sem kemur á eftir.--Snævar (spjall) 12. desember 2022 kl. 19:41 (UTC)Reply

Það sem er villan þarna er að hafa textann innan þriggja slaufusvigana ({{{}}}) í hverri línu eins. Hástafirnir skipta máli, {{{Fyrsta flug|}}} þarf að vera eins og {{{fyrsta flug}}}, pípumerkið (|) hinsvegar má vera þarna. Það er líka þarna {{{gerð|}}} og {{{aka}}} í sömu línu sem virkar ekki heldur, þarf að vera eins.

Ef þú ert að velta fyrir þér hvað kóðinn sé að gera, þá er #if sama og ef, og pípumerki er "þá" (stundum getur það verið "eða"). Þannig línurnar þýða á mannamáli: ef gildið "fyrsta flug" er til, gefðu það upp innan töfludálksins. Snævar (spjall) 28. febrúar 2023 kl. 12:56 (UTC)Reply

That's extremely sad for me to keep edit warring with this user (in other Wikis). Although I did not create the article, I will explain you, he hates the personality of Raisa Vasilyeva and therefore keeps spreading this defamation about her on Internet. He knows that I am her close relative and maybe that's the reason of his behaviour. https://glavny.tv/interesnoe/markov-svergnuvshiy-prezidenta-nigera-myatezhnyy-general-tchiani-davno-nash-chelovek/ and https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B0+%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0 don't mean anything to him, he keeps shouting that my aunt doesn't exist and I don't see any prospect of Wikipedia solving the problem of this defamation. I won't try to restore the article (maybe when there'll be more sources I will, but I don't speak Icelandic, so probably that will be up to the others), but what I will do is address Russian police and file charges against him. No threat to him, just informing, because calling a real person "a hoax" is not only insulting but also severely punished under Russian law as a defamation. Sad to say, but that's life, sometimes law enforcement is the only way to tackle libel and insults. --Ortenso (spjall) 18. ágúst 2023 kl. 22:00 (UTC)Reply

Don't know what the reason behind his defamation, but some people deny that Donald Trump exists. Others claim that Winston Churchill never existed and was a hoax as well, so this user by the nature of his bizarre claims and harassment online is definitely related to them. By the way, I showed Raisa Vasilyeva's remote aunt, also famous Soviet singer and actress Vera Vasilyeva, Хоббит's claims online and Vera died after one week from stress. Don't know for sure if death was directly caused by the user's defamation of her and my common relative, but... judgement up to the crowds. --Ortenso (spjall) 19. ágúst 2023 kl. 00:05 (UTC)Reply

No, as far as to this day, you are questioning her existence as a human being. This is not the problem of questioning merit and talent, questioning merit, talent and etc. of an artist is absolutely normal and I also never treated some singers as famous, for example, Iosif Kobzon. Even although he technically was. The problem is your explicitly, bizarrely libelous narrative, and it is more than disrespectful to a singer who was once the favourite artist of Soviet radio chairman. (Honestly, I already have one presumption why are you doing this, it is related to big business, but I won't tell anything else publicly) I have already done everything I can, I promised that I won't edit Russian Wikipedia in order to prevent conflicts of interest with you, but now you started entering other wikipedias you have never edited before and slandering Vasiljeva there. I am asking once more, stop this. I will never return to Russian and English wikipedias (to prevent those same conflicts of interest) as long as you stop this kind of slander and libel. You live your life, maybe have your family, kids, so I wish you and them only the best and know that you really don't need a criminal case regarding defamation.

Move this discussion between Ortenso and Хоббит elsewhere, like on your respective talk pages. As for this project, by saying that we have similar sockpuppetry policy to Simple English Wikipedia, I mean that the edit from the user that created the article, which this section is named after, is too old and will not be blocked because of it. As for sockpuppets of him, we do not pre-emptively block sockpuppets. But, make no mistake, if the falter, even if it is only for one edit, we will act on them.

The user who created the article is globally blocked, but definitely not for edits on this Wikipedia and not for creation of this article. My point to Mr Snævar is other, Хоббит simply attacks me and my aunt in any way possible and therefore goes around internet and attacks her by calling her either "not a singer" or "a hoax" or simply "a trash", even in languages that he does not speak. Meanwhile, glavny.tv, which is one of the biggest Russian federal news' medias, now becomes to him "small and not reliable website", and Russian politician en:Sergei Markov becomes "a blogger". Today, I have no option other than filing report to the FSB and launching a criminal case against him for defamation, because his claims are systematic and cause harm, he doesn't acknowledge the truth and attacks every reliable source online which contradicts him. Sorry, and have a good day. --Ortenso (spjall) 20. ágúst 2023 kl. 11:50 (UTC)Reply

Update for @Хоббит: I have now reconsidered my wish to report you to the FSB because I don't want to put your life in trouble and hardship. I won't do that, as of today. I just propose you a deal: I don't make any, neither goodwill nor badwill edits on Russian Wikipedia to avoid editing conflicts and conflicts of interest, I also do not create sockpuppet accounts that would make such edits, and in exchange you do not libel me and my relatives online in any shape or form, and do not threaten me or them.

Það eru hundruðir af þessum villum sem ég get lagað, til dæmis allur "ósýnilegir stafir‎" flokkurinn eins og hann leggur sig.

Eftir mundi standa samt yfir hundrað villur. Flestar af þeim villum sem myndi standa eftir eru vegna þess að fólk hefur tekið heimildir frá öðrum wikipedium en ensku wikipediu, sem eru með sín egin snið, fært þau yfir í ensku cite sniðin, en gert það vitlaust með því að færa bara helminginn af gildunum yfir.

Persónulega vill ég fá þau snið aftur í sín upphaflegu snið, flytja þau öllsömul inn og gera fólki kleyft að laga villuna. Það er engin leið að ég geti lagað það allt sjálfur.

It's a long time I'm not contacting you for being helped about the icelandic women's football.
Since I'm using my free time during my after lunch rest, I'm trying to go on filling up those 1.deild kvenna í knattspyrnu pages got I started editing some years ago.

I know I'm trying to add the most (sometimes too much), and some details aren't being made available for the men's pages, but as I'm still committed into the women's football I just want yours to be completed the best way I can.

Actually I'm trying to complete the 1. deild kvenna í knattspyrnu 2010 season and some elder are still waiting for an intervention I know it will just me to do it.

In the 2010 season there's a small team the KSÍ didn't mention the colours and the crest size. In this Ársskýrslur ÍBA 2012-2013 (Draupnis is in 80 to 83 pages) it's told the team got started fielding their women's team before this season and in 2012 they show up their crest.

Could you please edit the "mynd" copying their crest so that we can put it in the "Snið Lið Draupnir" I edited on 30 January ?. I thank you in advance and best regards from Nick (Nicholas), Monza, Milan Area, Italy.--Nipas2 (spjall) 1. febrúar 2024 kl. 12:55 (UTC)Reply

Hello Snævar. I didn't notice that in 2016 the merging of Fjarðab/Höttur/Leiknir women's team gave this new colors and crest]. The women's team can be seen on facebook wearing a black dress with white writs.

The new lid must be created to change what I mistook in every season starting by 2016 kvenna 1. deild copying the KSI crest. Thanks in advance for your help. Nick.--Nipas2 (spjall) 9. febrúar 2024 kl. 10:47 (UTC)Reply

Created as "Lið FHL.png", "FHL.png" was not descriptive enough - anything can have that abbreviation. Your reasoning is only relevant to your edits, not the image. Snævar (spjall) 16. ágúst 2024 kl. 12:56 (UTC)Reply

Byggðartaflan fyrir Guayaquil

Blessaður. Ég bjó nýverið til grein fyrir borgina Guayaquil og setti inn upplýsingatöflu með korti og teiknibólu fyrir staðsetninguna. Teiknibólan birtist ekki og ég veit ekki hvernig maður lætur hana sjást. Gætir þú græjað þetta fyrir mig? Þá veit ég hvernig það er gert næst. Kkv. TKSnaevarr (spjall) 7. apríl 2024 kl. 13:47 (UTC)Reply

Í "teiknibóla_kort" þurfti að tilgreina landið. Skrifta sem inniheldur landagögnin vantaði á "Module:Location map/data/Ekvador", sem voru fengin frá en:Module:Location map/data/Ecuador. Á Module síðunni þýddi ég "name = 'Ecuador'" yfir í "name = 'Ekvador'". Snævar (spjall) 7. apríl 2024 kl. 14:00 (UTC)Reply

Flokkun spjallsíðna

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 7 mánuðum2 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Sæll. Nú nýverið eru spjallsíður sem eru stofnaðar sjálfkrafa flokkaðar sem óatriðaskráðar síður ef þær eru ekki settar í flokka. Eru einhverjar reglur eða viðmið um það hvernig er best að flokka spjallsíður fyrir greinar? TKSnaevarr (spjall) 15. apríl 2024 kl. 12:59 (UTC)Reply

Ég held ekki að spjallsíður þurfi að vera flokkaðar. Flokkur:Óatriðaskráðar síður varð til því að nafni flokksins í hugbúnaðinum breyttist. Flokkurinn er bara til að merkja að vefþjónninn biður leitarvélar um að skrá ekki síðuna, annað ekki. Snævar (spjall) 15. apríl 2024 kl. 13:12 (UTC)Reply

It will be decided in one weeks time. As projects get smaller the time from marking an article to taking action moves from 1 week to 2. No need to rush this. Snævar (spjall) 20. apríl 2024 kl. 07:32 (UTC)Reply

Kvennaflokkarnir

Síðasta athugasemd: fyrir 6 mánuðum3 athugasemdir2 aðilar í umræðu

Gætum við dokað aðeins við og haft umræðu um þessa undirflokka fyrir konur? Við ræddum eitthvað um þetta fyrir nokkrum árum og þá voru skiptar skoðanir á því hvort þeirra væri þörf. Persónulega finnst mér í lagi að hafa slíka flokka þar sem eru t.d. sögulegar eða félagsfræðilegar ástæður fyrir því að vilja kanna kynjahlutföll í einhverjum greinum (t.d. með Alþingismenn) en ég sé ekki ástæðuna fyrir því að vera að smætta hvern einasta atvinnugreinaflokk niður í karla- og kvennaflokka, sérstaklega ef það eru ekki margar greinar í flokknum til að byrja með. TKSnaevarr (spjall) 20. apríl 2024 kl. 13:31 (UTC)Reply

Ég get fært minnstu flokkana yfir í almenna flokkinn, sem inniheldur núna bara karlana. En ég vill að hreingerningar meldingin á Flokkur:Íslenskar konur endurspegli það sem þú ert að skrifa. Núna segir tilkynningin að "eyða öllum einstaklingum". Snævar (spjall) 20. apríl 2024 kl. 13:49 (UTC)Reply

Það eru nokkrar síður eftir sem eru yfirflokkaðar, þ.e. bæði í Flokkur:Íslenskar konur og í kvennaflokki. Listi yfir þá flokka er hér https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/858, með fjölda þeirra greina sem eru í báðum flokkunum. Ég reikna með að þessi yfirflokkun megi fara? Það er að síður sem eru í báðum þessum flokkum megi fara úr flokkur:íslenskar konur? Snævar (spjall) 20. apríl 2024 kl. 14:30 (UTC)Reply

Although I was not the one to create this page, I think that it deserves a proper article. Could you please add to it? There isn't much information on the franchise page either. Also, I feel that Happy Feet and Happy Feet 2 also deserve proper articles. Surely these films are notable, right? They exist in over 40 other projects. I was, however, the same one to create a stub about Encanto, and I would like that one expanded as well. OK? 2600:382:10D4:B330:4450:DD92:DA3A:C0DC 27. október 2024 kl. 00:54 (UTC)Reply

Upon further investigation, I saw this happened to almost every page by this user. I get that he's banned, but any reason that there can't be proper articles on these films? 2600:382:10D4:B330:4450:DD92:DA3A:C0DC 27. október 2024 kl. 01:27 (UTC)Reply
