User talk:K4rolB

Nvidia and VP9 encoding

Hello. I reverted edits by User:Karakarga70 in VP9, as the user is clearly confused and still doesn't understand what they're doing, despite repeated explanations, and their edits were decidedly wrong. Unfortunately, by reverting the page to the last clean version, I also unintentionally reverted your edit. I am sorry for that. Sadly, I cannot do any more reverts on that page because of WP:3RR (I really think WP:3RR should be changed to allow these routine, uncontroversial reverts, but that's not the point here).

So, I'm afraid I can only restore your edit tomorrow. You can of course restore the edit yourself (you could perhaps point to this discussion in the edit summary). Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.—J. M. (talk) 18:47, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (Source)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:

• Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
• The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.
