00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:21.650
<i>36c3 preroll music</i>

00:00:21.650 --> 00:00:24.150
Herald: So now we present our next
speaker, who is Andre, and he will talk

00:00:24.150 --> 00:00:32.080
about some cool tools related to the
Wikimedia stuff that you, as, maybe,

00:00:32.080 --> 00:00:39.200
Wikimedia users could use and do cool
stuff with it. So let's have some applause

00:00:39.200 --> 00:01:01.070
for Andre, please.

00:01:01.070 --> 00:01:05.960
Andre: Batterien? Oh, it works, right?
Perfect. Sorry for that. Thanks for

00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:12.910
coming. I'm Andre. I work for Wikimedia. I
was even wondering whether I should put

00:01:12.910 --> 00:01:16.110
the logo here, because this actually has
nothing to do with the Wikimedia

00:01:16.110 --> 00:01:22.780
Foundation itself. So this is all about
volunteer work, volunteer software,

00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:27.009
because it's always a mix between several
entities like Wikimedia Deutschland,

00:01:27.009 --> 00:01:33.960
Wikimedia Foundation, Sweden, also lots of
other companies, for example.

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:39.960
And I decided to give this talk because there is
if you are on a Wikimedia website, for

00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:44.179
example, Wikipedia, there is some obvious
software there. Of course, the wiki

00:01:44.179 --> 00:01:48.970
software itself, which allows you to view
and edit pages. There are a lot of

00:01:48.970 --> 00:01:55.539
extensions, about 130 deployed on
Wikimedia servers, but there's also lots

00:01:55.539 --> 00:02:02.827
of software around, which pretty often
isn't very visible.

00:02:02.827 --> 00:02:11.360
Wikimedia Tech world is pretty complex, it's all free and
open source software, and some areas are

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:19.940
actually fully covered by volunteers, and
especially I'm going to be in the bots,

00:02:19.940 --> 00:02:30.130
gadgets, user scripts, tools, and, a bit,
mobile apps area today. We have many

00:02:30.130 --> 00:02:35.520
communities, many languages, for example,
there's already more than 300 Wikipedias

00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:42.271
when it comes to different languages. So
there's a lot of diverse interests, use

00:02:42.271 --> 00:02:47.810
cases, technical needs. You can probably
imagine a few things technically already

00:02:47.810 --> 00:02:53.090
when it comes to different scripts used in
different cultures or right-to-left, left-

00:02:53.090 --> 00:03:00.190
to-right. Many other examples like this.
And as everything is Free and Open Source,

00:03:00.190 --> 00:03:06.690
a lot of volunteers experiment with new
ideas they have and also bridge some

00:03:06.690 --> 00:03:11.670
workflow gaps that might exist for these
communities and maybe other communities

00:03:11.670 --> 00:03:16.810
are not even aware of that. So pretty
often it happens, that some

00:03:16.810 --> 00:03:24.140
community members come up with some ideas
and over time they evolve. Sometimes they

00:03:24.140 --> 00:03:30.180
even become a code repository or a gadget
that also gets copied to another Wikimedia

00:03:30.180 --> 00:03:35.540
site like a different language Wikipedia.
These kinds of things. And earlier this

00:03:35.540 --> 00:03:41.870
year, some people decided that it would be
beautiful to appreciate the work and

00:03:41.870 --> 00:03:46.970
create a showcase of the most impressive
software solutions which were implemented

00:03:46.970 --> 00:03:53.740
outside of the Wikimedia Core Code
repository and the extensions.

00:03:53.740 --> 00:04:02.360
Both to celebrate the software solutions and also
the people behind the tools. Because this

00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:08.070
is a lot about ideas, about passion, about
skills. Pretty often also finding maybe

00:04:08.070 --> 00:04:13.930
somebody who has more experience or
knowledge in a certain culture. If you

00:04:13.930 --> 00:04:23.110
cannot create something yourself, and
teaming up. So, early this year, the idea

00:04:23.110 --> 00:04:29.800
came up to celebrate such great pieces of
software by creating an award. And there

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:34.020
was a Wikimedia conference, I think, in
August in Stockholm, it's called

00:04:34.020 --> 00:04:38.280
Wikimania, which is not only about
technical aspects, it's really about

00:04:38.280 --> 00:04:44.950
everything related to the Wikimedia
communities. And we, beforehand, there was

00:04:44.950 --> 00:04:51.570
there were a few people who came together
and tried to find categories and, for

00:04:51.570 --> 00:04:59.240
tools to give an award to in these
categories. So I'm basically remixing this

00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:07.910
award session from earlier this year here
without giving out awards. And my hope is

00:05:07.910 --> 00:05:13.070
that you might see some great stuff,
might find some stuff interesting.

00:05:13.070 --> 00:05:18.790
It's not necessarily if you run your own
Mediawiki installation on your server,

00:05:18.790 --> 00:05:24.240
some stuff might be too Wikimedia-specific
use cases, but maybe you might get some

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:29.990
ideas or also stuff you weren't aware of
and might want to use. Because there are a

00:05:29.990 --> 00:05:32.970
lot of tools out there, as I said, and
sometimes it's really hard to discover

00:05:32.970 --> 00:05:46.350
them because they're. <i>soundproblems</i> Oh, thank you,
because they might be on on separate

00:05:46.350 --> 00:05:57.090
wikis. All right, so the first category
was or is experience, and it was won by

00:05:57.090 --> 00:06:08.840
the locator tool by Simon04. It's a tool
that helps you adding the geocode, the

00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:14.260
exact position to existing images,
especially on Wikimedia Commons, which is

00:06:14.260 --> 00:06:23.280
the place to share free media images,
videos, things like this. And why it

00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:29.250
received this prize is because it's really
intuitive and easy to use. You can add

00:06:29.250 --> 00:06:36.600
coordinates to one or more files. You can
find it in user preferences. So it's a bit

00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:43.460
easier to discover. It's available in many
languages, it had great tutorials.

00:06:43.460 --> 00:06:52.950
Actively maintained and it's been used
already a lot. So this is the tool.

00:06:52.950 --> 00:07:01.190
I wonder if I should zoom in a bit. It's
called locator tool and you can enter a

00:07:01.190 --> 00:07:09.880
category name here. For example, I have
one hand less than usual I realize.

00:07:09.880 --> 00:07:34.520
"Coolest tool award"… In theory it should
also autocomplete. Let's try. Showcases.

00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:41.080
Maybe if I… let's try something
else, then, I mean, that's what

00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:56.760
autocomplete is for. And let's load. So in
theory, you get the map here with a

00:07:56.760 --> 00:08:07.240
pointer on it. Or pointers of the files in
this category. In practice, I probably

00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:16.111
chose a bad example, and the Wi-Fi isn't
that fast. Or maybe none of the images in

00:08:16.111 --> 00:08:22.060
that category already has a location. That
might also be the case here. It's not the

00:08:22.060 --> 00:08:26.330
category I tried beforehand when I tried
to prepare this session. Sorry for that.

00:08:26.330 --> 00:08:30.580
I'll go back to the screenshot, where
you can hopefully imagine how things

00:08:30.580 --> 00:08:41.060
should look like. The next one would
be HotCat, which is a pretty tiny

00:08:41.060 --> 00:08:46.680
codebase, actually, but used a lot.
And "cat" in this case stands for

00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:52.100
Categories, because that is one way to
organize, for example, files on Wikimedia

00:08:52.100 --> 00:08:59.450
Commons, but also articles on
Wikipedias. So this is a screenshot

00:08:59.450 --> 00:09:06.440
from a file on Wikimedia Commons. And at
the bottom you can see the categories,

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:12.430
and you can easily add categories via this
tool and also remove, change, add

00:09:12.430 --> 00:09:22.290
categories. And it's also pretty
discoverable via the user preferences. So

00:09:22.290 --> 00:09:29.500
to compare this, how much should I zoom
in? This here, down here you can see the

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:33.600
categories, how it usually looks. 
Basically just the names, and you can

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:39.160
click the categories to get to the
overview page. If you've enabled the

00:09:39.160 --> 00:09:45.380
gadgets, you see a few more buttons here,
which are added by JavaScript so you can

00:09:45.380 --> 00:09:51.420
easily remove a category or add a category
by clicking the plus at the very end.

00:09:51.420 --> 00:10:02.730
And then you could also type-ahead and add a
new category. It works on almost all

00:10:02.730 --> 00:10:07.940
wikis, it actually has the highest number
when it comes to users. And yeah, as

00:10:07.940 --> 00:10:16.499
usual, code is public. Several people
contributed.

00:10:16.499 --> 00:10:25.100
"Impact". There is Internet Archive Bot by cyberpower, you
probably can guess a little bit from the

00:10:25.100 --> 00:10:30.500
name what it's supposed to do. We are not
running an archive service. We're not

00:10:30.500 --> 00:10:37.010
archive.org. But pretty often,
Internet websites or pages go down or get

00:10:37.010 --> 00:10:43.360
removed or get moved. And as especially
Wikipedia articles have a lot of

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:47.950
references, then suddenly you cannot check
for references anymore. Or if that

00:10:47.950 --> 00:10:53.120
statement is actually true because that
website got down. But there is the

00:10:53.120 --> 00:11:00.020
Internet Archive and they archive
regularly websites and Web pages by

00:11:00.020 --> 00:11:06.690
crawling the Internet. And then this
little Bot replaces those links and, or

00:11:06.690 --> 00:11:11.020
references in, for example, Wikipedia
articles at the bottom by the link to

00:11:11.020 --> 00:11:14.490
Internet Archive. So you can still
actually reach the Page, that was

00:11:14.490 --> 00:11:22.120
referenced a while ago when that page
still existed. And the great thing about

00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.890
this is that it automates work that
usually would be very cumbersome and very

00:11:26.890 --> 00:11:40.050
tiresome to do, and the configuration also
depends on local wiki needs. As an example

00:11:40.050 --> 00:11:47.010
I won't show you now running Internet Archive Bot 
on some page,

00:11:47.010 --> 00:11:52.380
but you can see here, I basically took the last
edits, a totally random one on English

00:11:52.380 --> 00:11:58.810
Wikipedia. And you can see here that this
is a history of that article called

00:11:58.810 --> 00:12:06.560
Gilberto Hernandez Ortega. And this is the
last edit that Internet Archive Bot made

00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:12.209
on English Wikipedia by replacing this
obviously dead link here that you can see

00:12:12.209 --> 00:12:20.649
on the left by a link to web.archive.org.
So if you go to that article on English

00:12:20.649 --> 00:12:24.860
Wikipedia and you want to go to that
reference, you actually see the reference

00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:35.919
and not a dead link, that's what it does.
Then we had a "reusable" category.

00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:43.180
If you wonder where we are, if you get tired,
this is the fourth out of 10. That's page

00:12:43.180 --> 00:12:50.420
views by MusicAnimal, Kaldari, Marcel Ruiz
Forns. It does what it says.

00:12:50.420 --> 00:12:55.550
It's basically getting an idea how often does a
certain page on one of the Wikimedia sites

00:12:55.550 --> 00:13:04.250
get accessed. So it's a pretty simple
graph, but that can be pretty useful when

00:13:04.250 --> 00:13:09.241
when you want to have statistics, maybe
not necessarily about… well, also, some

00:13:09.241 --> 00:13:15.040
people want to find out if… which articles
are the most popular ones on some

00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:18.560
Wikipedias. Some people want to find that
out. But for me, for example, it's pretty

00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:23.019
useful when when there are, when it comes
to technical documentation on

00:13:23.019 --> 00:13:29.050
mediawiki.org and I wonder, OK, these two
pages kind of overlap when it comes to

00:13:29.050 --> 00:13:33.210
their content and I would like to merge
them. But which one is more popular and

00:13:33.210 --> 00:13:39.501
which way should I merge it. So these
things can be pretty useful.

00:13:39.501 --> 00:13:46.050
You can include all wikis. You can also change
the time frame. You can get statistics

00:13:46.050 --> 00:13:52.380
over a year now, that was recently
implemented. Before, it was per month.

00:13:52.380 --> 00:13:59.870
And in life this, these are two pages
I'm comparing on meta.wikimedia.org.

00:13:59.870 --> 00:14:05.690
You can see that I'm looking at the daily
statistics and in a certain time frame,

00:14:05.690 --> 00:14:09.890
which you can change here, and I'm
comparing these two pages called the

00:14:09.890 --> 00:14:15.010
Coolest Tool Award page and a page called
Requests for New Languages. And so here

00:14:15.010 --> 00:14:27.360
you can see like on which day, how many
times those two pages were accessed.

00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:47.930
Then there is quick statements by Magnus. 
That's true, that's true. I tried to

00:14:47.930 --> 00:14:52.760
access that earlier, and it somehow didn't
work for me when preparing this. So in

00:14:52.760 --> 00:14:59.730
theory, it's a powerful editor for
Wikidata. You can use statements,

00:14:59.730 --> 00:15:06.000
labels, descriptions and aliases to add
and remove them, via rather simple

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:12.820
text commands and you can see simply by
the numbers on Wikidata that it's

00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:20.870
pretty popular. As I said, I wasn't able
to play with that yet myself. So I can

00:15:20.870 --> 00:15:26.450
only read this text for you right now. So,
you can prepare things already in a

00:15:26.450 --> 00:15:31.720
spreadsheet or a text editor to to run
several commands in a row.

00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:39.540
Batch edits, basically, semi-automatically. And there's
also other tools like OpenRefine, the

00:15:39.540 --> 00:15:47.740
Disambiguater, which also use this tool.
So as it was down, I could only go to its

00:15:47.740 --> 00:15:55.130
help page and looked a little bit at the
statements down here. I hope that one

00:15:55.130 --> 00:16:06.210
day I'm going to find time to try this
myself. Let's see.

00:16:06.210 --> 00:16:16.600
Then, for developers, an award was given to MediaWiki Code
Search by Legoktm. Because, once upon a

00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:21.779
time, there were, there was, for example,
a service by Google to do search

00:16:21.779 --> 00:16:30.410
explicitly, like, public code, source code
repositories, and we wanted to have that,

00:16:30.410 --> 00:16:35.160
especially for Wikimedia code. So
everything that's in WikiMedia git,

00:16:35.160 --> 00:16:43.100
Gerrit, I don't think it supports stuff
that… all our Wikimedia code repositories

00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:50.470
that are in GitHub or somewhere else. It's
a pretty simple interface. You can see on

00:16:50.470 --> 00:16:57.050
the top you can filter by categories, in
which code bases you're looking for a

00:16:57.050 --> 00:17:05.910
certain expression. Gerrit, it says
here at the bottom. And this is super easy

00:17:05.910 --> 00:17:11.019
to use. Well, at least, if you know a
little bit of regular expressions or if

00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:16.100
you just want to enter the name of a
function, for example, because one very

00:17:16.100 --> 00:17:24.329
or, a great use case we actually have is,
when some function gets deprecated or even

00:17:24.329 --> 00:17:29.670
later on even removed in the MediaWiki
core code base. Of course, somebody needs

00:17:29.670 --> 00:17:33.820
to find and update all the extensions out
there, which might rely on that very

00:17:33.820 --> 00:17:40.730
function in the MediaWiki core code base.
And this makes it way easier.

00:17:40.730 --> 00:17:45.760
Of course you could also locally check out all the
extension repositories and then grep and

00:17:45.760 --> 00:17:52.750
try to find that. But this makes it
especially, for those, or most people,

00:17:52.750 --> 00:17:57.880
I guess, who don't have a complete check out
of all extensions and code repositories on

00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:05.720
their own computer, to quickly use it on
the Internet online. I guess I don't need

00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:15.840
to show you how to enter a search string
here. Still, if I, for example, enter,

00:18:15.840 --> 00:18:21.340
getText, which would be a function name,
you'd then get the results listed by

00:18:21.340 --> 00:18:28.700
repository. And then you could filter on
the top. If the server or the Internet is

00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:41.480
fast enough. I might get back to you
later.

00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:51.080
Seventh one out of ten we awarded is the "Mobile" area, there is a
Commons mobile app which is also entirely

00:18:51.080 --> 00:19:03.350
run, managed, worked on by volunteers like
Josephine, Yuvi, Neshlihan, Vivek.

00:19:03.350 --> 00:19:09.360
It allows you to upload photos to Wikimedia
Commons directly from your mobile phone or

00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:18.941
from your smartphone, and you can
also, of course, add categories, or view

00:19:18.941 --> 00:19:25.880
nearby missing images. So if you use your
GPS, if you know your location, that can

00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:32.000
be helpful to find out which articles, for
example, on Wikipedia, still lack

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:40.600
images and view your contributions to
Commons in its own gallery. Those numbers

00:19:40.600 --> 00:19:45.270
are probably now outdated. But what is
impressive to me is simply the large

00:19:45.270 --> 00:19:52.530
number of different people who have
already contributed to the code base.

00:19:52.530 --> 00:19:59.580
Still no results. OK. I don't think
I'm going to play that YouTube video for

00:19:59.580 --> 00:20:05.290
for you now. Plus, I haven't sorted out
the sound beforehand, I realize. But you

00:20:05.290 --> 00:20:12.250
can… oh, this just shows some of the
images uploaded via it, but it's a pretty

00:20:12.250 --> 00:20:21.850
intuitive user interface. It's also
interesting to see that of course, it

00:20:21.850 --> 00:20:30.510
also makes uploading content a bit easier
that might not be suitable for Wikimedia

00:20:30.510 --> 00:20:38.170
Commons, like, for example, your selfies
of you and your friends.

00:20:38.170 --> 00:20:43.220
But I think that's also being worked on and better
filter nowadays, for example, by

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:54.400
categorizing if this is a completely new
user and these kinds of things on Commons.

00:20:54.400 --> 00:21:06.309
Then the category "Newcomer" is called NOA
Upload Tool by HappeJ, Sohmen. So this

00:21:06.309 --> 00:21:13.310
takes scientific Open Access articles out
there, and fetches the images included in

00:21:13.310 --> 00:21:20.630
them, and then anybody can help deciding
if this is suitable when it comes to the

00:21:20.630 --> 00:21:27.340
content of, I mean, the license is already
pretty clear. But the content, if this

00:21:27.340 --> 00:21:33.250
could be helpful on Wikimedia Commons. So
you go to the website, basically you get a

00:21:33.250 --> 00:21:38.220
random image and you can help. Could or
should this be uploaded to Wikimedia

00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:46.750
Commons to make it broader available to
make it more discoverable? It's beautiful

00:21:46.750 --> 00:21:53.590
because it also gets a bit more into Open
Science. It's probably the most simple

00:21:53.590 --> 00:21:59.730
user interface in this collection here,
and it does the attribution correctly.

00:21:59.730 --> 00:22:10.340
Randomized. That's probably also
something. So I went to that tool.

00:22:10.340 --> 00:22:19.380
And as you can see, you get a random image. 
So the caption would be taken over and you

00:22:19.380 --> 00:22:24.590
can click "Mark for upload" or "next
image". To actually upload it, you will…

00:22:24.590 --> 00:22:38.330
It's probably a bit small… you would have
to log in, of course, first and authenticate.

00:22:38.330 --> 00:22:42.651
Then when it comes to
outreach, more to social activities, there

00:22:42.651 --> 00:22:54.320
is a programs and events dashboard by Sage
and others. So this is a bit more when it

00:22:54.320 --> 00:22:59.670
comes to the teaching part or running
workshops for, for example, editors,

00:22:59.670 --> 00:23:06.620
writers, uploading media. Or, for example,
Wikiversity, which is another Wikimedia

00:23:06.620 --> 00:23:16.940
site which has courses. And this helps you
to get an idea how much outcome, how much

00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:21.390
effect your program has. And it's pretty
useful and actually used by quite some

00:23:21.390 --> 00:23:26.030
event organizers out there, for example,
by the Wikimedia chapters in quite some

00:23:26.030 --> 00:23:34.690
countries. You can create and manage
education programs, you, as I said, track

00:23:34.690 --> 00:23:41.450
some metrics and it's been used for more
than 100, or, with more than 100 000

00:23:41.450 --> 00:23:50.490
students and editors, over a million
articles since 2010.

00:23:50.490 --> 00:23:56.210
So this is the default view you would end up with on the
programs and event dashboard.

00:23:56.210 --> 00:24:01.670
And you can see here the campaigns on the left, for
example, this was the Art and Feminism

00:24:01.670 --> 00:24:07.830
2018 campaign. Related programs that were
run. And, for example, the number of

00:24:07.830 --> 00:24:16.280
articles created, edited, and the number
of editors here, in the very end.

00:24:16.280 --> 00:24:25.830
So you get an idea how much, actually, outcome
you have.

00:24:25.830 --> 00:24:34.730
And, last but not least, probably Eggbeater doesn't tell you
anything. That was the logo we chose for

00:24:34.730 --> 00:24:43.180
the award, and it's basically the
special or lifetime award or something

00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:48.169
like that. That's probably how you would
translate it. Twinkle. It's also a

00:24:48.169 --> 00:24:58.060
JavaScript gadget by AzaToth, Ioeth,
Amathea, atlight, MusikAnimal, AmoryMeltzer.

00:24:58.060 --> 00:25:01.770
And this is when, when
you're a bit more of an experienced,

00:25:01.770 --> 00:25:07.980
for example, Wikipedia user, it helps you
a lot with maintenance tasks like dealing

00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:15.500
reverting vandalism, unscontract–
unconstructive edits. Which makes

00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:21.850
administrative tasks way easier. It's
been around for 15 years, it has pretty

00:25:21.850 --> 00:25:33.179
good help. And to give you a simple idea,
this would be the normal or nearly normal

00:25:33.179 --> 00:25:38.640
view, I think I also have some some custom
gadgets enabled, on on a Wikipedia page

00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:45.780
when you're logged in and you can see up
here, read, edit, view history.

00:25:45.780 --> 00:25:52.480
The watch list, star button. When I enable
Twinkle, you see there's another drop

00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:59.990
down, which leads to, for example, the
first link request, speedy deletion.

00:25:59.990 --> 00:26:09.280
According to CSD, I should probably
know what that means. Speedy deletion?

00:26:09.280 --> 00:26:14.820
And a few other options like "show most recent
diff", "unlink backlinks", a lot of

00:26:14.820 --> 00:26:19.120
functionality that is way easier to access
and more common, especially if you try to

00:26:19.120 --> 00:26:27.150
revert vandalism and watch pages.

00:26:27.150 --> 00:26:36.350
This is a photo of, at the end of that actual award ceremony, of all the 
people being around. There were also definitely a few

00:26:36.350 --> 00:26:41.360
maintainers, developers, stewards of these
code bases around. So not everybody was

00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:54.190
present at that conference, but we could
actually hand out some awards which were eggbeaters.

00:26:54.190 --> 00:26:58.690
And what was this was
basically about was, as I said earlier,

00:26:58.690 --> 00:27:04.200
appreciating, all the code in between,
that might not be obvious to you.

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:08.870
Sometimes, it might not even be obvious to
you that this is custom code or a gadget,

00:27:08.870 --> 00:27:13.840
not in the core functionality, added by a
volunteer, because it is enabled by

00:27:13.840 --> 00:27:17.970
default. And you just expect like, OK,
this is probably part of the core

00:27:17.970 --> 00:27:23.350
software, but it's actually not. And, of
course, also, thanks a lot to all the

00:27:23.350 --> 00:27:30.430
users of these tools. So if anything
was interesting here or if you have more

00:27:30.430 --> 00:27:37.179
curiosity, you will find links on
meta.wikimedia.org, on the page

00:27:37.179 --> 00:27:41.789
Coolest Tool Award. If you are generally
interested in the technical parts of it,

00:27:41.789 --> 00:27:48.429
not necessarily only as a user using these
tools, I would recommend how to contribute

00:27:48.429 --> 00:27:56.869
on mediawiki.org, which both covers how to
get technically involved, but also other areas.

00:27:56.869 --> 00:28:01.730
For example, of course, 
editing, but also, design, local user

00:28:01.730 --> 00:28:09.010
groups, outreach or other things. So these
are probably only the credits.

00:28:09.010 --> 00:28:12.822
So I'm done. Thank you.

00:28:12.822 --> 00:28:21.999
<i>applause</i>

00:28:21.999 --> 00:28:27.560
Herald: Hello, hello? Yeah. Thank you,
Andre! So do we have any questions in the

00:28:27.560 --> 00:28:32.390
audience? If you do raise your hands and I
will hand you my microphone?

00:28:32.390 --> 00:28:37.870
Andre: Basically, I would even say feel
free to ask anything. I mean, I might not

00:28:37.870 --> 00:28:42.309
know the answer. It's not that I'm
actively working in all of these tools or

00:28:42.309 --> 00:28:51.159
anything, but I can try to find out.
Q: I thank you for your speech.

00:28:51.159 --> 00:28:58.270
Do you have a favorite tool for locations of
articles, how to add them, or edit them?

00:28:58.270 --> 00:29:03.559
Andre: A favorite tool for locations of
articles, how to edit them?

00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:10.730
Q: You can have locations for the images,
but also add locations to articles on the

00:29:10.730 --> 00:29:16.419
other side? And I find it unhandy to
always copy paste a code with geolocation

00:29:16.419 --> 00:29:20.850
and all that stuff. And I would also
prefer there to have a tool where I could

00:29:20.850 --> 00:29:25.500
click on a map and say, OK, it's there.
Maybe it's existing.

00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:30.929
Andre: That that is a good question. So,
yeah, so you basically go to an article

00:29:30.929 --> 00:29:36.740
and you hope for some button, which
probably opens a map and then you say it's

00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:41.900
here on this map. And then you edit with
one click the coordinates to the article,

00:29:41.900 --> 00:29:50.220
I guess. Right? I'm not sure myself. I
would have to try to find out. Let me come

00:29:50.220 --> 00:30:00.169
back to you later, please.
Herald: Any other questions? I don't think

00:30:00.169 --> 00:30:03.799
I see any, but so then again, thank you,
have some applause for Andre please!
