Nakaarkibo na ang nakaraang usapan

Hi, inarkibo ko na ang nakaraang usapan dito sa Kapihan. Kung mayroon pa rin nabinbin na usapan sa nakaraan o kaya may pabatid na kailangan pa rin na nakapaskil, gumawa na lamang kayo ng bagong usapan o paskil dito at maari ninyo na lamang tukuyin ang nakaraang usapan o paskil mula sa arkibo. Salamat. --Jojit (usapan) 02:28, 26 Enero 2026 (UTC)

Request for Image Processing

Hello Filipino wiki-users. Meron po pang astronomer dito? Gumawa ako ng bagong artikulo ukol sa isang bulkan sa Io, isang buwan ng Hupiter. Ang bulkang ito ay pinangalanang Kanlaon Patera. Ang pangalang ito ay galing sa Bulkang Kanlaon sa Negros, Visayas, Pilipinas. Gusto ko po sanang ma-proseso ang mga filter-image greyscale na imahen ng Io sa baba para mapakita ang itsura ng Kanlaon Patera. Meron po bang marunong magprocessos ng mga filter images ng Galileo.

Maraming salamat. IapetusCallistus (kausapin) 02:17, 12 Pebrero 2026 (UTC)

Reference Previews – experiment

Reference Previews – experiment

Hi, I’m Johannes from WMDE Technical Wishes. Sorry for writing in English, please support us by providing a translation! Our team is currently working on improvements to references, e.g. Sub-referencing. In 2021 we developed Reference Previews in order to provide a MediaWiki feature to preview references when hovering over the footnote marker. Over the course of our current work we’ve noticed that using Reference Previews doesn’t seem to be intuitive for some readers and we would like to improve this.

Problem

In our usability tests, we repeatedly notice desktop readers – unaware of Reference Previews or how to use the feature – clicking on footnotes instead of hovering over them. Many are confused when they end up in the reference list and don’t know how to jump back to the text passage they were previously reading. Many readers seem unaware that both the ↑ arrow in the reference list and the ^{a b} (for re-used references) can be used to jump back. This makes jumping to the reference list rather unpleasant, especially in long articles.

Assumption

We assume that most readers do not want to jump to the reference list, but rather want to click on the footnote to open Reference Previews, which provide them with the reference information for the text passage they have just read. At the same time, we believe that some readers – e.g. those who want to delve deeper into a topic rather than just quickly researching a piece of information – are still interested in conveniently accessing the reference list.

Idea

We would like to try adjustments to Reference Previews in order to best meet the needs of different readers. Specifically, we want to prevent readers from accidentally ending up in the individual reference list; jumping there should be a conscious decision.

When clicking on a footnote marker, we want to display Reference Previews instead of jumping to the reference list. The pop-up remains permanently visible until clicking on the "x" or anywhere outside the preview to close it. In addition Reference Previews will provide a link to jump to the reference in the reference list.

• 
  Reference Previews – current version
• 
  Proposed version when clicking on a footnote marker

When hovering over a footnote marker without clicking on it, we want to display a simplified version of Reference Previews – without the settings icon and the resulting empty space. When moving the mouse pointer over the pop-up, a note will appear indicating that you can click for further options. This will open the persistent version of Reference Previews with a link to allow users to jump to the reference in the reference list.

• 
  Proposed version when hovering over the footnote marker
• 
  Proposed version when hovering over the Reference Preview
• 
  Proposed (persistent) version when clicking on the hover preview

By improving the usability of Reference Previews, we also hope to mitigate the issue that reference lists with a large number of (reused) references (or sub-references) can be confusing for some readers. In addition, the proposed version when hovering over a footnote marker is more compact than the current version.

Experiment

We would like to test the proposed changes in an A/B test on several wikis. We want to measure how many readers click on a footnote marker and then proceed to jump to the reference list using the proposed version of Reference Previews compared to readers who receive the current version of Reference Previews. In addition, we will measure how many readers in both groups access the reference list via the table of contents. This will give us data-based insights into how many clicks on the footnote unintentionally open the reference list and how many readers only want to use Reference Previews.

We would like to run our experiment on the following Wikipedia language versions: de, pl, fr, sv, fa, hu, hi, my, tl, lv, fy, hr. 10% of readers will see our modified version of Reference Previews in order to obtain sufficient data. The experiment is expected to run for 1-2 weeks at the end of March. We'll restore the current version of Reference Previews for all readers until we have evaluated the experiment, discussed the results with the community, and decided on further steps.

We look forward to your feedback on our talk page – or just reply to this post! Once the experiment is ready to go, we will also provide a link that you can use to test the changes yourself. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (kausapin) 12:23, 20 Pebrero 2026 (UTC)

As indicated on our project page , we will only test the proposed change when clicking on a footnote. Reference Previews will remain unchanged when hovering over a footnote marker. Reasons for this were concerns that the proposed transition from hover to persistent preview could be disruptive or at least feel unusual when interacting with reference content in the hover preview (e.g. when clicking on links).

Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226)

Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226)

Hello everyone,

This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as Module:Itemgroup/list).

The Change:
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property P1846, combined with the qualifier P180: Q19571328.

We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: P14226.

What You Need To Do:
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from P14226 instead of the old P1846 + P180 structure. A list of pages was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.

Deadline:
We are temporarily retaining the old data on P1846 to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old P1846 statements will be removed after May 1, 2026. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.

Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! ZI Jony using MediaWiki message delivery (kausapin) 17:11, 3 Abril 2026 (UTC)

Bagong mungkahi

Hello po. May bagong mungkahi po ako sa Usapang Wikipedia:Mga huling idinagdag. Salamat! JWilz12345 (Kausapin|Mga ambag ko) 03:14, 6 Abril 2026 (UTC)

Hinggil sa mga salitang siyokoy

Sang-ayon sa Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino, ang mga salitang siyokoy ay "alinman sa mga anyo ng salita na hindi tiyak ang pinagmulang wika (lalo na kung nakahahawig sa pinagsámang Ingles at Espanyol)." Pinauso marahil ng mga mamamahayag sa radyo ang mga salitang ito na mukhang Kastila pero inspirado pala sa ortograpiyang Ingles o sa di-malinaw na pinanggalingang ortograpiya (pero hindi Kastila).

Marapat siguro na ipagbawal ang mga salitang siyokoy dito sa Wikipediang Tagalog, kahit na mas talamak ang mga ito sa pang-araw-araw na pananalita ng nakararami. Makikita sa userspace page kong Tagagamit:JWilz12345/Mga salitang siyokoy ang talaan ng mga salitang siyokoy at mga naaangkop na salita sa mga ito. Halimbawa:

Imbes na	Naaangkop na (mga) salita
adbenturero	abenturero / taong mapagsapalaran
aspeto	aspekto / mukha / dako
bentahe	bentaha / lamang
dayalekto	diyalekto / dayalek / wikain
dayalogo	diyalogo / dayalog / salitaan / usapan / pag-uusap
endorso	endoso / piliin / pinagtibay / magtagubilin / lumagda / maglipat
groserya	groseri / tindahan
imahe	imahen / larawan
intrigero	intrigante
kontemporaryo	kontemporaneo / kontemporanyo / kapanahon / panahong ito
konsernado ("the mother of all siyokoy words)	konsernido / nababahala / nababalisa / may kinalaman
lebel	nibel / level / antas / taas
misyonaryo	misyonero
obhektibo	obhetibo
parliyamentaryo	parlamentaryo / mambabatas
parliyamento	parlamento / batasan
pesante	paisano / magbubukid / magsasaka
prayoridad	priyoridad / prayoriti / pagkauna / karapatang mauna
sirkumstansiya	sirkunstansiya / pangyayari / kalagayan / katayuan / pagkakataon / halimbawa
subhektibo	subhetibo
subheto	suheto / disiplina

Ping ko po para sa mga pananaw at input, sina @Jojit fb, GinawasaHapon, LknFenix: (ilan sa aktibong mga tagagamit) at sina @Yivan000, Ysrael214: (mga nakausap ko po sa wiktionary:tl:Wiksiyonaryo:Kapihan/2025/Disyembre#"Kasingkahulugans"). JWilz12345 (Kausapin|Mga ambag ko) 12:17, 12 Abril 2026 (UTC)

@JWilz12345 Hindi ipagbawal pero dapat iwasan. Dapat may balanse ng kung ano ang irikenomenda at sa maiintindihan pa din ng karamihan. Bagaman buhay ang lengguwahe, hindi ibig sabihin din noon na hahayaan natin ang kolokyalismo ang maging pamantayan. Pero, sana naman sa Tagalog Wikipedia iwasan ang salitang siyokoy sa mga pamagat ng mga konseptongg hindi nagagamit pang-araw-araw lalo na sa mga salitang akademiko. Halimbawa Girasyon, dapat hirasyon kasi ang G ay nagiging H. Siguro mas lenient tayo sa mga madalas gamitin ng media tulad ng responsibilidad o asasinasyon. Basta pag ang salitang siyokoy ay gamit na gamit at maayos ang pagkakabaybay (hal. wag gamitin ang Akkadiano, Akadyano na lang kung maaari), ito ay ayos lang. 𝄽 ysrael214 (kausapin) 04:48, 13 Abril 2026 (UTC)

@GinawaSaHapon: inayos na ping. Pasensiya sa maling baybay. JWilz12345 (Kausapin|Mga ambag ko) 12:22, 12 Abril 2026 (UTC)

@JWilz12345: Ayos lang.

Hindi ako sang-ayon sa pagbabawal. Hindi dapat pagbawalan ang mga ganitong baybay, kahit na nagmula ito sa KWF. Likas na bahagi yan ng proseso ng pagbuo ng salita. At isa pa, marami sa mga ito ay madalas na'ng gamitin dahil sa midya. Wala tayo sa posisyon para manduhan ang itatakbo ng wika, hindi tayo ang guwardiya ng wika. Trabaho yan ng KWF. Sa pananaw ng hangarin ng Wikipedia, karaniwang paggamit ang mananaig pagdating sa pagbaybay ng mga salita.

Marami sa mga ito ay talamak na at karaniwan na'ng ginagamit ng madla. Halimbawa, responsibilidad, prayoridad, kontemporaryo, endorso, sirkumstansiya, at mas lalo na sa imahe, na kung tutuusin ay halos ginagamit bilang salin ng salitang Ingles na image ("larawan") (mas ginagamit sa kasalukuyan ang imahen sa mga banal na larawan, hal. imahen ng Birheng Maria). Sapat din ang paggamit sa mga mapagkakatiwalaang sanggunian para sa dayalogo, aspeto, at lebel. Magmumukhang hiwalay sa realidad ng kasalukuyang ginagamit na wika kung ipipilit natin na "itama" ang mga ito, kahit na sa totoo lang ay likas na bahagi ito ng kahit anong wika. GinawaSaHapon (usap tayo!) 12:45, 12 Abril 2026 (UTC)

@GinawaSaHapon eh paano po ang claim ng enWiki article para sa TlWiki (w:en:Tagalog Wikipedia) na nagsasabing umaasa umano ang TlWiki sa UP Diksiyonaryong Filipino para sa mga saligang depinisyon? (Ginamit na sanggunian). JWilz12345 (Kausapin|Mga ambag ko) 13:56, 12 Abril 2026 (UTC)

@JWilz12345 Hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon ay ganon ang kaso rito. Pangunahing sanggunian ang UPDF, oo, pero hindi ito ang bibliya o saligang-batas ng wiki na ito. Mas mananaig pa rin ang karaniwang pagbaybay ng mga salitang Tagalog, kahit na hindi ito "tama" sa paningin ng iba. Muli, kailangang isalamin ng Wikipediang Tagalog ang kasalukuyang anyo ng wika upang manatili itong accessible sa mga mambabasa. GinawaSaHapon (usap tayo!) 00:39, 13 Abril 2026 (UTC)

@GinawaSaHapon Sang-ayon sa dapat manatiling accessible sa mga mambabasa. Huwag ipilit na mag-imbento ng salitang Tagalog rin para lang masabing "naitagalog" ang salita. Ayos lang ang salitang siyokoy, pero kapag neolohismo, ibang usapan na iyon. Ang mga diksiyonaryo ay gabay lamang kung ano ang mas maiintindihan ng mga mambabasa. 𝄽 ysrael214 (kausapin) 04:51, 13 Abril 2026 (UTC)

Ang nais ko lang sabihin ay kung gagamit ng salitang siyokoy, dapat alam nating gamit din. Hindi tayo mag-iimbento ng bagong salitang siyokoy din. 𝄽 ysrael214 (kausapin) 05:51, 13 Abril 2026 (UTC)

Magandang gabi @JWilz12345,

Tulad ni @GinawaSaHapon, hindi rin ako sang-ayon sa pagbabawal.

Sa totoo lang, hindi ako sang-ayon sa rekomendasyon ng KWF. Hindi makatotohanang ituring ang mga impluwensiyang Espanyol at Ingles sa ating wika na parang tubig at langis na mapaghihiwalay. Ang mga impluwensyang ito ay matagal nang magkakahabi sa kultura at pagkakakilanlang Pilipino. Tulad ng madalas na pinagsasama sa ating mga kumbensyon sa pagpapangalan ang mga pangalang Ingles at mga apelyidong Espanyol, likas na sumasalamin ang ating wika sa paghahalong ito. Ang tinatawag nilang “salitang siyokoy” ay produkto ng organikong ebolusyon ng wika.

Nakikita ko rin na ang mahigpit na pagsusulong na ibalik sa orihinal na baybay ng Espanyol ang mga salitang hiram mula rito ay hindi praktikal at hindi kinakailangan. Ang nakararaming Pilipino ay hindi nagsasalita ng Espanyol, kaya ang pagpapatupad ng ortograpiyang Espanyol ay nagpapataw ng panlabas na pamantayan na hindi na umaayon sa aktuwal na paggamit ng wika. Nagtataas ito ng tanong: bakit dapat tayong patuloy na sumunod sa mga kumbensyon ng Espanyol na parang isa pa rin tayong kolonya?

Kahit sa mga bansang nagsasalita ng Espanyol sa Amerikang Latino, ang wika ay umunlad sa iba’t ibang paraan na sumasalamin sa mga lokal na konteksto, sa halip na mahigpit na pagsunod sa mga pamantayan ng Espanya. Sa parehong paraan, dapat pahintulutang umunlad ang Filipino sa sarili nitong landas, na hinuhubog ng mga nagsasalita nito, at hindi pinipigilan ng mga lipas na reseta.

Batay sa aking paninindigan, naniniwala ako na dapat payagan ang mga salitang siyokoy kung karaniwang ginagamit ang mga ito. Sa maraming pagkakataon, mas sumasalamin ang mga salitang ito sa likas na paggamit ng wika.

- LknFenix (kausapin) 14:33, 12 Abril 2026 (UTC)

@JWilz12345:, wala na akong maidagdag pa. Sang-ayon ako sa mga argumento nina GinawaSaHapon at LknFenix. Salamat. --Jojit (usapan) 10:07, 13 Abril 2026 (UTC)

@JWilz12345 Ang problema ko dito ay hindi malinaw kung ano ang "siyokoy" (ayon sa Manwal sa Masinop na Pagsulat 4.9) at kung ano ang pwede (ayon sa MMP 4.10). Kahit ako na maigting na binasa ang dokumentong ito ay nalilito pa rin kung ano ang ipinapahiwatig dito — ang "kontemporaryo" ay bawal ("kontemporaneo" dapat) pero ang "siyentista" ay pwede ("siyentipiko" dapat). Walang concrete na definition patungkol sa dalawa, maliban lang sa ilang halimbawng hulapi. Kaya'y ito'y mahirap hustong ipagbawal, dahil maraming lalabas na edge cases. — 🍕 Yivan000 ^view_talk 13:34, 13 Abril 2026 (UTC)
