Nyhetsbrev nr. 24 fra Wikimedia Norge
Hello, here are the latest news from Wikimedia Norge!


 * English Wikipedia most visited
 * Statistics for pageviews to encyclopedias in Norway in 2021 were recently shared on Torget. Not surprisingly, Wikipedia is the most-visited encyclopedia; the English-language edition is slightly ahead of the Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk editions (combined), with 348 and 325 million pageviews, respectively. In comparison, the next encyclopedia on the list, Store norske leksikon, had 112 million pageviews. The numbers speak for themselves: Wikipedia is where people go to learn.
 * It is also a reminder that Wikipedians' efforts are incredibly important. We hope these numbers can help motivate both new and experienced contributors.
 * Thanks to H@r@ld for sharing this information.


 * Bot workshop
 * On Sunday 27 February from 12:00–16:00, we will hold a bot workshop! We will go through how to set up and run the most common bot framework, Pywikibot, on PAWS, and show some of the most common standard scripts in Pywikibot.
 * Maximum 10 participants! Sign up on the meet-up page or via e-mail to jhsoby@wikimedia.no.


 * Year of Queer Culture: panel debate in Bergen
 * On Thursday 24 March, Wikimedia Norge and the National Archive for Queer History will hold a panel debate at Litteraturhuset, Bergen. The theme for the debate is how archives, museums and Wikipedia can make queer history, art and culture more visible. IT will also examine how we use contemporary labels for the past. A common understanding of what queer history is will help us to make queer history more visible.
 * The event is part of the Year of Queer Culture 2022.


 * Wiki meet-up and general assembly in Bergen
 * Wikimedia Norge will host a wiki meet-up with pizza and something to drink at Villa Paradiso Ole Bull on 25 March, starting 18:30. Register on the wiki meet-up page or by e-mail to [mailto:wikimedia@wikimedia.no wikimedia@wikimedia.no].


 * The next day, on 26 March from 12–14, we will hold our general assembly, taking place at Litteraturhuset, Bergenː All members are welcome! The general assembly will also be streamed for those who can't be there in person, and voting will happen digitally.
 * Active contributors can get a travel stipend. Send an e-mail to astrid@wikimedia.no in order to apply.


 * Remember membership fees before the general assembly!
 * You can finally use Vipps to set up a regular, annual payment of your membership. We have updated our website and hope even more people will use a recurring payment. If you wish to use AvtaleGiro, that is also still possible.
 * Remember that you must have paid your membership fee for 2022 in order to vote at the general assembly.

Project
Just letting you know I'm not ignoring you, I'm just busy. I also don't really enjoy dealing with that kind of stuff, it gets toxic too easily. The project is User:Alexis Jazz/Bawl, I could actually use testers. <span id="Alexis%20Jazz:1644024830796:User_talk%3ADonald_Trung" class="FTTCmt">— Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 01:33, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , I did see that you were using it to reply to people. I'm willing to test it, just leave me a message here when you are looking for a for a tester. --Donald Trung (talk) 06:45, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * You could try it right now, though I plan to clean up the code a bit which might introduce some new bugs, but that otherwise won't really affect functionality. Since it's still new, it would be recommendable to check your edits. I also just made another script, much simpler, for which I specifically need testers who use the mobile site (which I know is your favorite): User:Alexis Jazz/EditNoticesOnMobile. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:47, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , the mobile website is by no means my favourite, I just exclusively use mobile devices so I am forced to use this hideous interface. All I have to do is copy it to my JavaScript page right? Excuse the late reply, researching some things for the Wikimedia Commons as some person just single-handedly changed the entire copyright interpretation for a country and I'm not sure yet if her interpretation is more correct or just more dismissive of the notion that the changes aren't retroactive. Such changes always predict massive deletions and I would rather not lose basically all post-1940's content of a country on the basis of a misinterpretation. --Donald Trung (talk) 08:08, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * You can't use other skins on mobile devices? I never actually tried that I guess. Yes, for both scripts you need to copy the mw.loader.load line to your common.js. Maybe you can ask Legal to look at the copyright issue? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 08:49, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , excuse the late reply, I had some projects to finish at the Wikimedia Commons. As for Wikimedia Legal, I can't ask them (as they're at the Meta-Wiki), as for Brawl, I'll install it now to see how it functions on mobile. --Donald Trung (talk) 08:24, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , Let me test this out, I see a link, pencil, and speech bubble, if I click on the link emoji nothing happens, if I click on the speech bubble I open a reply similar to the new reply tool, and if I click on the pencil I can edit the above. --Donald Trung (talk) 08:31, 11 February 2022 (UTC)  Donald Trung (talk)  08:31, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * There's an example of something I never thought of, this is why I need testers. The link emoji provides an anchored link to the comment in question. It's really only useful for copy-pasting but the interface doesn't properly communicate that. It would also be more useful if the links were permalinks. I'll disable this feature by default until I've worked that out. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 00:07, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the feedback at User talk:Donald Trung (revision 630165708). I understand the issues, I also get why w3schools suggested selecting the input field contents now. The way it's intended to work is that when you click/tap the text field the link is copied to your clipboard and (if the link was copied to the clipboard successfully) the text field disappears. But this is known to be maybe problematic on Android and maybe other mobile devices as well as any browser without permission to write to the clipboard, which is why the text field is provided to copy from. I'll improve it. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 18:37, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
