Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-45

The winner this Translation of the week is

en:Placenta cake
(simple:Placenta cake)

Please be bold and help translate this article!

---

Placenta cake is a dish from ancient Greece and Rome consisting of many dough layers interspersed with a mixture of cheese and honey and flavored with bay leaves, baked and then covered in honey. The dessert is mentioned in classical texts such as the Greek poems of Archestratos and Antiphanes, as well as the De agri cultura of Cato the Elder. It is often seen as the predecessor of baklava and börek.

(Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

Did you know?

• Query examples:
  • Recently edited lexemes since 'DATE' (in this case Danish since 01.11.2024)
  • List films shot by filming location - try changing the wd: Wikidata item to another country, city, or even a building or natural location.
• Newest WikiProjects:
  • Suriname Public Art - public artworks and memorials in Suriname
  • HDF - A WikiProject for work underway at the The HDF Group (Q106509427) to connect HDF data with Wikidata.
  • French Literary Prizes - Aims to coordinate the development of a database on French literary prizes (prize list, jury members, list of winners). In 2008, Bertrand Labes listed more than 1,500 French-speaking literary prizes. To date, Wikidata has 709, including 24 including the list of winners and awarded works.
• Newest database reports: Languages with the most lexemes without senses (using Toolforge tool 'Orthohin')
• Showcase Items: Rembrandt (Q5598) - Dutch painter and printmaker (1606–1669)
• Showcase Lexemes: ਜੀਵਣ/جِیوَݨ (L740318) - 'life' in Punjabi

Development

• Lua: We changed the Wikibase function getAllStatements logic to behave as getBestStatements. When invoked, it was returning mutable direct-values, now it will return a copy of those values (which are immutable). (phab:T270851)
• Wikibase REST API:
  • Wikibase REST API is now on version 1!
  • We've finished the work on the create Property endpoint so it is now possible to create Properties via the REST API.
• Configuration: We removed 'mainpage' from $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg for Wikidata as requested so translations of the main page are available (phab:T184386)
• mul language code: We moved it to the top of the termbox so labels and aliases in mul are visible first (phab:T371802)
• Revision table size: We are investigating the current state of the revision table of Wikidata's database and what the next steps should be to address its issues.

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Weekly Tasks

Tin tức kỹ thuật mới nhất từ cộng đồng kỹ thuật Wikimedia. Vui lòng chia sẻ với các thành viên khác về những thay đổi này. Không phải mọi thay đổi đều sẽ ảnh hưởng đến bạn. Các bản dịch của bản tin này cũng có sẵn cho bạn.

Cập nhật cho biên tập viên

• Trên các wiki đã kích hoạt phần mở rộng Biên dịch, người dùng sẽ nhận thấy rằng FuzzyBot nay sẽ tự động tạo các bản dịch của các thể loại được sử dụng trên các trang được dịch. [4]
• Xem tất cả 29 tác vụ được tạo bởi cộng đồng đã được giải quyết vào tuần trước. Ví dụ, tác vụ được gửi để sử dụng phần mở rộng SecurePoll cho cuộc bỏ phiếu đặc biệt chọn bảo quản viên trên Wikipedia tiếng Anh đã được giải quyết kịp thời. [5]

Cập nhật cho những người đóng góp vào mảng kỹ thuật

• Trong 1.44.0-wmf-2, logic của hàm Wikibase getAllStatements đã được thay đổi để có chức năng như getBestStatements. Việc gọi hàm này nay sẽ trả về bản sao của giá trị cố định. [6]
• Người dùng Wikimedia REST API, chẳng hạn như người vận hành bot và người bảo trì công cụ, có thể bị ảnh hưởng bởi quá trình nâng cấp đang được diễn ra. API sẽ sẽ định tuyến lại một số điểm cuối của nội dung trang từ RESTbase sang điểm cuối mới hơn MediaWiki REST API. Các điểm cuối bị ảnh hưởng bao gồm việc lấy siêu dữ liệu và nội dung HTML được hiển thị của trang/phiên bản. Những thay đổi này sẽ có sẵn trên wiki thử nghiệm sắp tới trong tuần này, sau đó đến các dự án khác. Thay đổi này sẽ không ảnh hưởng đến những chức năng hiện có, tuy vậy các thành viên hoạt động tích cực của các điểm cuối bị ảnh hưởng nên xác minh hoạt động của nó trên wiki thử nghiệm, và chỉ ra bất kỳ điều gì quan ngại của mình trên tác vụ Phabricator có liên quan này.

Chuyên sâu

• Bảo quản viên và người dùng trên các dự án Wikimedia đã kích hoạt Automoderator nay có thể giám sát và đánh giá các số liệu quan trọng liên quan đến các tác vụ của Automoderator. Bảng điều khiển Superset này tính toán và tổng hợp số liệu về hoạt động của Automoderator trên các dự án mà nó được triển khai. Xin cảm ơn nhóm Công cụ điều hành vì Bảng điều khiển này; bạn có thể truy cập trang tài liệu để biết thêm thông tin về công việc này. [7]

Bản tin Kỹ thuật: Tuần 48-2024

Tin tức kỹ thuật mới nhất từ cộng đồng kỹ thuật Wikimedia. Vui lòng chia sẻ với các thành viên khác về những thay đổi này. Không phải mọi thay đổi đều sẽ ảnh hưởng đến bạn. Các bản dịch của bản tin này cũng có sẵn cho bạn.

Cập nhật cho biên tập viên

• Phiên bản mới của trình phân tích cú pháp của chế độ soạn thảo mã nguồn tiêu chuẩn sẽ có sẵn dưới dạng tính năng beta sắp tới trong tuần này. Phiên bản này mang tới rất nhiều tính năng mới và sửa lỗi, trong đó có việc hỗ trợ ngôn ngữ đọc từ phải sang trái, thu gọn bản mẫu, tự động hoàn tất, và thanh tìm kiếm đã được cải tiến. Bạn có thể tìm hiểu thêm trên trang trợ giúp.
• Trình soạn thảo mã nguồn 2010 nay sẽ hỗ trợ một số phím tắt thông dụng, chẳng hạn như Ctrl+B để in đậm chữ hay Ctrl+I để in nghiêng. Danh sách đầy đủ sáu phím tắt hiện có sẵn. Cảm ơn SD0001 vì những cải tiến này. [12]
• Kể từ ngày 28 tháng 11, các trang thảo luận sử dụng tính năng Flow/Thảo luận có Cấu trúc sẽ tự động được lưu trữ và đặt ở chế độ chỉ đọc trên các wiki sau: bswiki, elwiki, euwiki, fawiki, fiwiki, frwikiquote, frwikisource, frwikiversity, frwikivoyage, idwiki, lvwiki, plwiki, ptwiki, urwiki, viwikisource, zhwikisource. Việc này là một phần của việc loại bỏ công cụ StructuredDiscussions. Nếu bạn cũng cần hỗ trợ với việc lưu trữ các thảo luận trước đó của mình, vui lòng liên hệ với Trizek (WMF).
• Xem tất cả 25 tác vụ được tạo bởi cộng đồng đã được giải quyết vào tuần trước. Ví dụ, một người dùng tạo mới một Bộ lọc Sai phạm nay sẽ chỉ có thể đặt bộ lọc đó vào chế độ "được bảo vệ" (protected) nếu nó có chứa một biến thuộc danh sách bảo vệ.

Cập nhật cho những người đóng góp vào mảng kỹ thuật

• CodeEditor, tính năng được sử dụng trên các trang JavaScript, CSS, JSON và Lua, nay cung cấp tính năng tự động điền theo thời gian thực. Xin cảm ơn SD0001 vì cải tiến này. Tính năng này có thể được vô hiệu hoá tạm thời trên một trang bất kỳ bằng cách nhấn Ctrl+, và bỏ chọn "Live Autocompletion".
• Những người bảo trì công cụ sử dụng hệ thống Graphite để theo dõi số liệu cần phải chuyển sang hệ thống mới hơn Prometheus. Họ có thể kiểm tra bảng điều khiển này và danh sách ở mục Miêu tả của tác vụ T350592 để xem liệu công cụ của họ có được liệt kê ở đó không, và họ nên xác nhận những số liệu và bảng điều khiển được kết nối với các công cụ của họ. Họ sau đó có thể tắt hoặc chuyển toàn bộ những số liệu hiện có bằng cách làm theo những hướng dẫn trong tác vụ đó. Dịch vụ Graphite sẽ chuyển sang chế độ chỉ đọc vào tháng 4 tới. [13]
• Báo cáo hiệu suất Bộ phân tích cú pháp tiền xử lý mới đã được sửa để đưa ra con số chính xác cho số lượng thực thể Wikibase được truy cập. Trước đó nó được đặt lại sau 400 thực thể. [14]

Các cuộc họp và sự kiện

• Cuộc họp cộng đồng ngôn ngữ sẽ diễn ra vào ngày 29 tháng 11 lúc 16:00 UTC. Sẽ có các bài thuyết trình về các chủ đề như phát triển bàn phím ngôn ngữ, việc tạo ra Wikipedia tiếng Mooré, lộ trình hỗ trợ ngôn ngữ tại Wiki Indaba, và báo cáo từ cộng đồng Wayuunaiki về trải nghiệm của họ với Incubator và với tư cách là một cộng đồng mới trong vòng 3 năm qua. Cuộc họp này cũng sẽ có bản phiên dịch tiếng Tây Ban Nha.
