Is this a good wikiversity project?

I suspect there may be another place to post this message, but haven't found it quite yet. I've created a project that describes a combination of a wikiversity project, a wikibook and a wikiedu.org class. Does this seem like an appropriate use of wikiversity?

Strictly from the standpoint of if this is appropriate, I think it definitely is and I hope you're successful. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:19, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Wikiversity is, in my opinion, a wonderful project, and I'm proud to be a volunteer for it. Contributor^118,784 Let's talk 13:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deploying the Phonos in-line audio player to your Wiki

Hello!

Apologies if this message is not in your language, ⧼Please help translate⧽ to your language.

This wiki will soon be able to use the inline audio player implemented by the Phonos extension. This is part of fulfilling a wishlist proposal of providing audio links that play on click.

With the inline audio player, you can add text-to-speech audio snippets to wiki pages by simply using a tag:

<phonos file="audio file" label="Listen"/>

The above tag will show the text next to a speaker icon, and clicking on it will play the audio instantly without taking you to another page. A common example where you can use this feature is in adding pronunciation to words as illustrated on the English Wiktionary below.

{{audio|en|En-uk-English.oga|Audio (UK)}}

Could become:

<phonos file="En-uk-English.oga" label="Audio (UK)"/>

The inline audio player will be available in your wiki in 2 weeks time; in the meantime, we would like you to read about the features and give us feedback or ask questions about it in this talk page.

Thank you!

UOzurumba (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Language team

Does anyone know if "scary transclusion" is enabled on Wikiversity?

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding describes this feature as allowing transclusion of pages from other sites. Stevesuny (discuss • contribs) 17:18, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. See Special:Version. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:11, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
