Deployment of Dark mode in Breton Wikipedia

Hello Breton Wikipedians,

Apologies as this message is not written in your native language, Please help translate to your language.

We are happy to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation Web team have deployed dark mode here on Breton Wikipedia! This was possible because pages on your wiki have passed our checks for accessibility and other quality checks. Congratulations!

This was only possible due to the diligent work of editors and other technical contributors in your community who have made sure that templates, gadgets, and other parts of pages can be accessible in dark mode. Thank you all for making dark mode available for everybody!

For context, we would like to add that the Web team's work on dark mode has concluded. If on some wikis, the option is not yet available for logged-out users, this is likely because many pages do not yet display well in dark mode. As communities make progress on this work, we enable this feature on additional wikis once per month.

If you notice any issues after enabling dark mode, please create this page: Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Reporting/br.wikipedia.org in MediaWiki (like these pages), and report the issue in the created page.

Thank you! UOzurumba (WMF) (kaozeal) 8 Her 2024 da 23:05 (UTC) On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team

Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Breton Wikipedia

Hello Breton Wikipedians,

Apologies as this message is not in your language. Please help translate to your language.

The WMF Language and Product Localization team proposes enabling an entry point called "Contribute" to your Wikipedia.

The Contribute entry point is based on collaborative work with other product teams in the Wikimedia Foundation on Edit discovery, which validated the entry point as a persistent and constant path that contributors took to discover ways to contribute content in Wikipedia.

Therefore, enabling this entry point in your Wikipedia will help contributors quickly discover available tools and immediately click to start using them. This entry point is designed to be a central point for discovering contribution tools in Breton Wikipedia.

Who can access it

Once it is enabled in your Wikipedia, newcomers can access the entry point automatically by just logging into their account, click on the User drop-down menu and choose the "Contribute" icon, which takes you to another menu where you will find a self-guided description of what you can do to contribute content, as shown in the image below. An option to "view contributions" is also available to access the list of your contributions.

For experienced contributors, the Contribute icon is not automatically shown in their User drop-down menu. They will still see the "Contributions" option unless they change it to the "Contribute" manually.

This feature is available in four Wikipedia (Albanian, Malayalam, Mongolian, and Tagalog). We have gotten valuable feedback that helped us improve its discoverability. Now, it is ready to be enabled in other Wikis. One major improvement was to make the entry point optional for experienced contributors who still want to have the "Contributions" entry point as default.          

We plan to enable it on mobile for Wikis, where the Section translation tool is enabled. In this way, we will provide a main entry point to the mobile translation dashboard, and the exposure can still be limited by targeting only the mobile platform for now. If there are no objections to having the entry point for mobile users from your community, we will enable it by 9th November 2024.

We welcome your feedback and questions in this thread on our proposal to enable it here. Suppose there are no objections, we will deploy the "Contribute" entry point in your Wikipedia.

We look forward to your response soon.

Thank you!

On behalf of the WMF Language and Product Localization team. UOzurumba (WMF) (kaozeal) 23 Her 2024 da 03:37 (UTC)

@UOzurumba (WMF) This could be interesting. Can you please point us to the relevant section(s) in Translatewiki so we can make sure that they are up to date? Huñvreüs (kaozeal) 23 Her 2024 da 08:29 (UTC)

Hello @Huñvreüs,

Thank you for your question; I will get back to you on the relevant section in Translatewiki once I get that information.

Best regards,

UOzurumba (WMF) (kaozeal) 6 Du 2024 da 04:46 (UTC)

@Huñvreüs, You won't be able to see the message string for now because it has not been enabled in your wiki. However, I have done a screen record to show you how to access it in translatewiki.net once it is enabled in your wiki.

This is a screen-record that shows how to access the "Contribute" message string in Translatewiki.net

I hope this helps. Thanks! UOzurumba (WMF) (kaozeal) 8 Du 2024 da 19:58 (UTC)

Hello @UOzurumba (WMF), I don't see how a screenshot of the Translatewiki front page could be of any help. What I am looking for is the way to find the translatable strings that will be needed when the feature is enabled. Huñvreüs (kaozeal) 13 Du 2024 da 20:22 (UTC)

Hello @Huñvreüs, it is a video and not a screenshot illustrating how you can access the translatable strings when it is enabled in your wiki. Sorry the video is not automatically playing, it is because the file is heavy. Please click on it to play . Thank you. UOzurumba (WMF) (kaozeal) 14 Du 2024 da 03:36 (UTC)

@UOzurumba (WMF) I did finally get it to play. It shows how to find the string "Contribute", which is not helpful. What I am asking for is how to locate the strings used by the features to which the Contribute link leads. Whether the feature is enabled on this wiki or not is irrelevant. Huñvreüs (kaozeal) 14 Du 2024 da 06:48 (UTC)

@Huñvreüs You can find the name of the message stings at https://br.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dibar:Contribute?uselang=qqx. The message strings are in the MediaWiki core message group: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=core&language=br&filter=&action=translate

If you want to search for a specific message, like (cx-contributecard-entrypoint-title) found in the first link in this message, type it in the "filter list" box found in the MediaWiki core message group without the bracket: cx-contributecard-entrypoint-title, and you will get the exact message to translate.
