[Nick Wilson (Quiddity)]

Latest *tech news
* from the
Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes.
Not all changes will affect you. Translations
 are
available.

*Recent changes*

   - The Nuke
   
   feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now
   correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [1]
   
   - New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons:
   the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing
   for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the
   fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is
   an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [2]
   

   [3] 

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version 
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will
   be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on
   all wikis from 23 May (calendar
   ). [4]
   [5]
   
   - The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve
   accessibility . It
   will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue,
   Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins
   and report any related problems
    so that they can be resolved
   before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also
   considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to
   section titles  if that would
   be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on
   that.

[Wikitech-ambassadors] Tech News 2024, week 20

[Nick Wilson (Quiddity)]

Latest *tech news
* from the
Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes.
Not all changes will affect you. Translations
 are
available.

*Recent changes*

   - On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without
   corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word
   __EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__ to exclude certain pages (list of editions or
   translations of works) from that list. [1]
   
   - If you use the user-preference
   
   "Show preview without reloading the page", then the template-page feature
   "Preview page with this template" will now also work without reloading the
   page. [2] 
   - Kartographer
   
   maps can now specify an alternative text via the alt= attribute. This is
   identical in usage to the alt= attribute in the image and gallery syntax
   .
   An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature
   maps are interactive. [3] 
   - The old Guided Tour
   
   for the "New Filters for Edit Review
   
"
   feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older
   accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of
   the intended people. [4] 

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version 
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will
   be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on
   all wikis from 16 May (calendar
   ). [5]
   [6]
   
   - The Special:Search 
   results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility,
   instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search
   results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [7]
   

*Future changes*

   - In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width
   (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line
   large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector
   2022. Learn more
   
.
   [8] 
   - Two columns of the pagelinks
   
   database table (pl_namespace and pl_title) are being dropped soon. Users
   must use two columns of the new linktarget
   
   table instead (lt_namespace and lt_title). In your existing SQL queries:
  1. Replace JOIN pagelinks with JOIN linktarget and pl_ with lt_ in
  the ON statement
  2. Below that add JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
   - See phab:T24  for
  technical reasoning. [9]

   These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design,
   for one year. As this test gave positive results
   
,
   the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is
   possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences
   
   ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at all wikis in
   the coming weeks. [1] 
   - Seven new wikis have been created:
  - a Wikipedia in Betawi  (w:bew:

Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes.
Not all changes will affect you. Translations
 are
available.

*Recent changes*

   - Starting this week, newcomers editing Wikipedia will be encouraged
   

   to try structured tasks. Structured tasks
   

   have been shown to improve newcomer activation and retention
   
.
   [1] 
   - You can nominate your favorite tools
   
   for the fifth edition of the Coolest Tool Award. Nominations will be open
   until May 10.

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version 
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 April. It will
   be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 April. It will be on
   all wikis from 25 April (calendar
   ). [2]
   [3]
   

*Future changes*

   - This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022
   skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For
   user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents
   of Special:MyPage/vector.js
    to
   Special:MyPage/vector-2022.js
   . There
   are more technical details
   

   available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of
   technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your
   community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [4]

*Recent changes*

   - Starting Monday January 29, all talk pages messages' timestamps will
   become a link. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows
   users to find the comment they are looking for, even if this comment was
   moved elsewhere. This will affect all wikis except for the English
   Wikipedia. You can read more about this change on Diff
   

   or on Mediawiki.org
   
.
   [1] 
   - There are some improvements to the CAPTCHA to make it harder for spam
   bots and scripts to bypass it. If you have feedback on this change, please
   comment on the task . Staff
   are monitoring metrics related to the CAPTCHA, as well as secondary metrics
   such as account creations and edit counts.

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version 
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 January. It
   will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 January. It will
   be on all wikis from 1 February (calendar
   ). [2]
   [3]
   
   - On February 1, a link will be added to the "Tools" menu to download a QR
   code  that links to the page
   you are viewing. There will also be a new Special:QrCode
    page to create QR codes
   for any Wikimedia URL. This addresses the #19 most-voted wish
   

   from the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey
   .
   [4] 
   - Gadgets
   
   which only work in some skins have sometimes used the targets option to
   limit where you can use them.

*Recent changes*

   - Pages that use the JSON contentmodel
   
   will now use tabs instead of spaces for auto-indentation. This will
   significantly reduce the page size. [1]
   
   - Gadgets
   
   and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6
   (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source
   code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure
   scripts are valid in all supported browsers
   .
   Previously, Gadgets could use the requiresES6 option. This option is no
   longer needed and will be removed in the future. [2]
   
   - Bot passwords
   
   and owner-only OAuth consumers
   

   can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages. [3]
   
   - You can now thank
   
   edits made by bots. [4] 
   - An update on the status of the Community Wishlist Survey for 2024 has
   been published
   
.
   Please read and give your feedback.

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version 
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It
   will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will
   be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar
   ). [5]
   [6]
   
   - Starting on January 17, it will not be possible to login to Wikimedia
   wikis from some specific old versions of the Chrome browser (versions
   51–66, released between 2016 and 2018). Additionally, users of iOS 12, or
   Safari on Mac OS 10.14, may need to login to each wiki separately. [7]
   
   - The jquery.cookie module was deprecated and replaced with the
   mediawiki.cookie module last year. A script has now been run to replace
   any remaining

   - mediawiki2latex  is a tool that

I believe that is correct, and the details in this section should be
uptodate:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Administration#Auto-discarding_spam
(I.e. They were added after the Mailman3 migration, and edited by multiple
people, so hopefully any errors have already been corrected!)
However, they could perhaps be improved with more examples?
(If anyone has questions about specific examples, perhaps ask on the
talkpage there?)

Please boldly edit the page to remove/update anything inaccurate, or raise
concerns on the talkpage!
+1 to your other comments.

I hope that helps,

Latest *tech news
* from the
Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes.
Not all changes will affect you. Translations
 are
available.

*Recent changes*

   - Four new wikis have been created:
  - a Wikipedia in Moroccan Amazigh
   (w:zgh:
  ) [1]
  
  - a Wikipedia in Dagaare  (
  w:dga: ) [2]
  
  - a Wikipedia in Toba Batak  (
  w:bbc: ) [3]
  
  - a Wikiquote in Banjar  (q:bjn:
  ) [4]
  

*Problems*

   - Last week, users who previously visited Meta-Wiki or Wikimedia Commons
   and then became logged out on those wikis could not log in again. The
   problem is now resolved. [5] 
   - Last week, some pop-up dialogs and menus were shown with the wrong
   font size. The problem is now resolved. [6]
   

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version 
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 November. It
   will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 November. It
   will be on all wikis from 16 November (calendar
   ).

*Future changes*

   - Reference Previews are coming to many wikis as a default feature. They
   are popups for references, similar to the PagePreviews feature
   . You
   can opt out
   

   of seeing them. If you are using the gadgets
   
   Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews.
   Deployment  is planned for
   November 22, 2023.
   - Canary (also known as heartbeat) events will be produced into Wikimedia
   event streams  from December
   11. Streams users are advised to filter out these events, by discarding all
   events where meta.domain == "canary". Updates to Pywikibot
    or
   wikimedia-streams 
   will discard these events by default. [7]

*Problems*

   - Last week, there was a problem displaying some recent edits on a few

   will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 November. It will

   - The Growth team will reassign newcomers from former mentors to the
   currently active mentors

*Recent changes*

   - The Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving
   UploadWizard on Commons
   
,
   made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own
   work (T347590 ), as well as
   to the licensing step for own work (T347756
   ).
   - The Design Systems team has released version 1.0.0 of Codex
   , the new design system for
   Wikimedia. See the full announcement about the release of Codex 1.0.0
   

   .

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version 
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It
   will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will
   be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar
   ).
   - Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language
   using a library
   .
   For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted
   correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading
   to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the
   existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on
   how big the wiki is. You can read more
   
.
   [1] [2]
   
   - Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be
   upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more
   data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis
   during the last few months. [3]
   

*Future changes*

   - There is a proposed plan
   

   for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this
   proposal and sharing what you think about it
   

   .
   - The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit
   MediaWiki configuration directly
   
.
   This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A

Latest *tech news
* from the
Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes.
Not all changes will affect you. Translations
 are
available.

*Recent changes*

   - The Unified login
   
   system's edge login should now be fixed for some browsers (Chrome, Edge,
   Opera). This means that if you visit a new sister project wiki, you should
   be logged in automatically without the need to click "Log in" or reload the
   page. Feedback on whether it's working for you is welcome. [1]
   
   - Edit notices
   

   are now available within the MobileFrontend/Minerva skin. This feature was
   inspired by the gadget on English Wikipedia
   . See
   more details in T316178 .

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version 
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 October. It
   will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 October. It will
   be on all wikis from 19 October (calendar
   ).

*Future changes*

   - In 3 weeks, in the Vector 2022 skin, code related to addPortletLink
   and #p-namespaces that was deprecated one year ago will be removed. If
   you notice tools that should appear next to the "Discussion" tab are then
   missing, please tell the gadget's maintainers to see instructions in the
   Phabricator task .

   - The Vector 2022 skin will now remember the pinned/unpinned status for
   the Table of Contents for all logged-out users. [1]
   

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version 
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 September. It
   will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 September. It
   will be on all wikis from 28 September (calendar
   ).
   - The ResourceLoader mediawiki.ui modules are now deprecated as part of
   the move to Vue.js and Codex. There is a guide for migrating from
   MediaWiki UI to Codex
    for
   any tools that use it. More details are available in the task
    and your questions are
   welcome there.
   - Gadget definitions will have a new "namespaces" option
   
.
   The option takes a list of namespace IDs. Gadgets that use this option will
   only load on pages in the given namespaces.

*Future changes*

   - New variables will be added to AbuseFilter
   :
   global_account_groups and global_account_editcount. They are available
   only when an account is being created. You can use them to prevent blocking
   automatic creation of accounts when users with many edits elsewhere visit
   your wiki for the first time. [2]
   [3]
   


*Meetings*

   - You can join the next meeting with the Wikipedia mobile apps teams.
   During the meeting, we will discuss the current features and future
   roadmap. The meeting will be on 27 October at 17:00 (UTC)

[Translators-l] Re: Ready for translation: Tech News #39 (2023)

[Nick Wilson (Quiddity)]

There was a last-minute change that is quite important.

Please, if you could remove "*or templates*" from the existing translations
of this entry:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tech/News/2023/39=prev=25658492
That would be greatly appreciated.

Direct translation link:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate=page-Tech%2FNews%2F2023%2F39=page

I will delay sending this edition for ~10 hours to give some time.
I'm sorry that this error wasn't detected earlier. Thanks again.

*Recent changes*

   - ORES , the
   revision evaluation service, is now using a new open-source infrastructure
   on all wikis except for English Wikipedia and Wikidata. These two will
   follow this week. If you notice any unusual results from the Recent Changes
   filters that are related to ORES (for example, "Contribution quality
   predictions" and "User intent predictions"), please report them
   . [1]
   
   - When you are logged in on one Wikimedia wiki and visit a different
   Wikimedia wiki, the system tries to log you in there automatically. This
   has been unreliable for a long time. You can now visit the login page to
   make the system try extra hard. If you feel that made logging in better or
   worse than it used to be, your feedback is appreciated. [2]
   

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version 
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 September. It
   will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 September. It
   will be on all wikis from 14 September (calendar
   ).
   - The Technical Decision-Making Forum Retrospective
   
   team invites anyone involved in the technical field of Wikimedia projects
   to signup to and join one of their listening sessions
   
   on 13 September. Another date will be scheduled later. The goal is to
   improve the technical decision-making processes.
   - As part of the changes for the Better diff handling of paragraph splits
   

   wishlist proposal, the inline switch widget in diff pages is being rolled
   out this week to all wikis. The inline switch will allow viewers to toggle
   between a unified inline or two-column diff wikitext format. [3]
   

*Future changes*

   - All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 20 September. This is
   planned at 14:00 UTC.
   
   More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on
   individual wikis in the coming weeks. [4]
