Usapang Wikipedia:Kapihan

Nakaarkibo na ang nakaraang usapan

Hi, inarkibo ko na ang nakaraang usapan dito sa Kapihan. Kung mayroon pa rin nabinbin na usapan sa nakaraan o kaya may pabatid na kailangan pa rin na nakapaskil, gumawa na lamang kayo ng bagong usapan o paskil dito at maari ninyo na lamang tukuyin ang nakaraang usapan o paskil mula sa arkibo. Salamat. --Jojit (usapan) 02:28, 26 Enero 2026 (UTC)

Request for Image Processing

Hello Filipino wiki-users. Meron po pang astronomer dito? Gumawa ako ng bagong artikulo ukol sa isang bulkan sa Io, isang buwan ng Hupiter. Ang bulkang ito ay pinangalanang Kanlaon Patera. Ang pangalang ito ay galing sa Bulkang Kanlaon sa Negros, Visayas, Pilipinas. Gusto ko po sanang ma-proseso ang mga filter-image greyscale na imahen ng Io sa baba para mapakita ang itsura ng Kanlaon Patera. Meron po bang marunong magprocessos ng mga filter images ng Galileo.

Maraming salamat. IapetusCallistus (kausapin) 02:17, 12 Pebrero 2026 (UTC)

Reference Previews – experiment

Hi, I’m Johannes from WMDE Technical Wishes. Sorry for writing in English, please support us by providing a translation! Our team is currently working on improvements to references, e.g. Sub-referencing. In 2021 we developed Reference Previews in order to provide a MediaWiki feature to preview references when hovering over the footnote marker. Over the course of our current work we’ve noticed that using Reference Previews doesn’t seem to be intuitive for some readers and we would like to improve this.

Problem

In our usability tests, we repeatedly notice desktop readers – unaware of Reference Previews or how to use the feature – clicking on footnotes instead of hovering over them. Many are confused when they end up in the reference list and don’t know how to jump back to the text passage they were previously reading. Many readers seem unaware that both the ↑ arrow in the reference list and the ^{a b} (for re-used references) can be used to jump back. This makes jumping to the reference list rather unpleasant, especially in long articles.

Assumption

We assume that most readers do not want to jump to the reference list, but rather want to click on the footnote to open Reference Previews, which provide them with the reference information for the text passage they have just read. At the same time, we believe that some readers – e.g. those who want to delve deeper into a topic rather than just quickly researching a piece of information – are still interested in conveniently accessing the reference list.

Idea

We would like to try adjustments to Reference Previews in order to best meet the needs of different readers. Specifically, we want to prevent readers from accidentally ending up in the individual reference list; jumping there should be a conscious decision.

When clicking on a footnote marker, we want to display Reference Previews instead of jumping to the reference list. The pop-up remains permanently visible until clicking on the "x" or anywhere outside the preview to close it. In addition Reference Previews will provide a link to jump to the reference in the reference list.

  Reference Previews – current version
• 
  Proposed version when clicking on a footnote marker

When hovering over a footnote marker without clicking on it, we want to display a simplified version of Reference Previews – without the settings icon and the resulting empty space. When moving the mouse pointer over the pop-up, a note will appear indicating that you can click for further options. This will open the persistent version of Reference Previews with a link to allow users to jump to the reference in the reference list.

By improving the usability of Reference Previews, we also hope to mitigate the issue that reference lists with a large number of (reused) references (or sub-references) can be confusing for some readers. In addition, the proposed version when hovering over a footnote marker is more compact than the current version.

Experiment

We would like to test the proposed changes in an A/B test on several wikis. We want to measure how many readers click on a footnote marker and then proceed to jump to the reference list using the proposed version of Reference Previews compared to readers who receive the current version of Reference Previews. In addition, we will measure how many readers in both groups access the reference list via the table of contents. This will give us data-based insights into how many clicks on the footnote unintentionally open the reference list and how many readers only want to use Reference Previews.

We would like to run our experiment on the following Wikipedia language versions: de, pl, fr, sv, fa, hu, hi, my, tl, lv, fy, hr. 10% of readers will see our modified version of Reference Previews in order to obtain sufficient data. The experiment is expected to run for 1-2 weeks at the end of March. We'll restore the current version of Reference Previews for all readers until we have evaluated the experiment, discussed the results with the community, and decided on further steps.

We look forward to your feedback on our talk page – or just reply to this post! Once the experiment is ready to go, we will also provide a link that you can use to test the changes yourself. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (kausapin) 12:23, 20 Pebrero 2026 (UTC)

As indicated on our project page , we will only test the proposed change when clicking on a footnote. Reference Previews will remain unchanged when hovering over a footnote marker. Reasons for this were concerns that the proposed transition from hover to persistent preview could be disruptive or at least feel unusual when interacting with reference content in the hover preview (e.g. when clicking on links).
