Gowanus Canal

Hello:

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Gowanus Canal has been completed.

I did rearrange some of the material into what to me was a more logical order. It's an easy fix to reverse this if you're not happy with it.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:43, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Sub-categories

I removed the neighborhoods because both Category:Chelsea and Category:Flatiron District have all 23rd Street stations in their subcategories. It was redundant. --Precision123 (talk) 04:11, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

@Precision123: I presume you mean Category:Chelsea, Manhattan. Both categories have the subcategory Category:23rd Street (Manhattan), which accurately encapsulates both stations. But the difference is that 23rd Street runs through both Chelsea and Flatiron, while each station may only be in one of these neighborhoods. epicgenius (talk) 13:09, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

No problem. Just wanted to explain my edit. I understand that position. --Precision123 (talk) 20:27, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Collaboration products newsletter: 2018-03

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Map improvements 2018, Notifications, Structured discussions and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

The Collaboration team has announced the start of a new project: In-Context Help and Onboarding. The idea is to improve retention of new wiki editors by giving them short tutorials and other training experiences related to, and triggered by, their current activities on the wikis (that’s the “in context” part). The project follows from the conclusions of the New Editor Experiences research. The work is in its very early stages, but we’d like to hear from people with ideas on the subject—particularly if you have experience supporting or training new contributors.

Map improvements 2018 [More information]

• Maps using Maplink and Mapframe functions now include an extra zoom level (level 19). This is part of the Kartographer Improvements, the number one request of the 2017 Community Wishlist survey. [15]

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

• Number of edit to show in recent changes information text was incorrect in Special:Preferences. It has been rephrased. [16]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. That new feature has been documented. [17]
• Preferences panel on Special:Notifications was overlapping other elements. This has been fixed. [18]

Future changes

• An important work is under progress to allow thanks of log entry. This is done by the Community Tech team. [19]

Structured discussions [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

• Structured Discussions extension has been uninstalled from wikis not using it. However, it is still possible for a community to request a trial of Structured discussions. [20]

Problems

• It was not possible to opt-in and opt-out Structured discussions on wikis using it as a Beta feature. It is now fixed. [21]

Future changes

• The visual editor and 2017 wikitext editor interface is going to change for consistency. The toolbar, dialogs and menus will appear slightly bigger; some icons will look different. Content or functionality will not change. That change will apply to Structured Discussions as well. [22]
