Recent changes

• You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser use very old TLS. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It can lead to downgrade attacks. Since 9 December you just see a warning. Soon the browser will not connect to the wikis at all. Most are users on Android systems older than 4.4. You can read the browser recommendations. [2]
• Special:LinkSearch has been moved from the "Trang đặc biệt đổi hướng" section on Special:SpecialPages to the "Danh sách các trang" section. [3]

Changes later this week

• Wikis can protect pages so that only some users can edit them. The standard protection levels are Chỉ cho phép các thành viên tự động xác nhận and Cấm mọi thành viên (trừ bảo quản viên). If your wiki use more protection levels the technical name might be renamed for standardisation. This doesn't affect what users see. [4]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 January. It will be on all wikis from 16 January (calendar).

Future changes

• Deepcat and Catgraph will stop working. This will happen at the end of January. This is because you can now use the normal search function instead. [5]
• You can use <ref follow="…"> to merge footnotes that follow each other. It is meant to be used for digitised books on Wikisource. If the order of the footnotes is wrong no error was shown but the bad <ref> was shown outside the <references /> list. This will change and you will see an error message instead. [6]

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages

Sorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.

You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) 14:15, ngày 26 tháng 2 năm 2020 (UTC)

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

Problems

• Readers who were not logged in briefly saw the interface in a language decided by their browser. It should normally be in the language of the wiki. This happened for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug. [17]

You will now be able to choose that you need to enter both your email address and your username. This will be a preference. This is to get fewer password reset emails someone else asked for. [18]
• When you asked for a new password you could see if the username didn't exist on Special:PasswordReset. Now the page will show the username you entered and tell you an email has been sent if the username exists. This is for better security. [19]
• On Special:WhatLinksHere you can see what other pages link to a page. You can see if the link is from a redirect. You can now see which section the redirect links to. [20]

Community Tech Launches Wikisource Improvement Initiative

This message is in English, but we encourage translation into other languages. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

We hope you are all healthy and safe in these difficult times.

The Community Tech team has just launched a new initiative to improve Wikisource. We will be addressing five separate wishes, which came out of the 2020 Community Wishlist Survey, and we want you to be a part of the process! The projects include the following:

• Improve ebook export
• Improve OCR tools
• Migrate Wikisource specific edit tools from gadgets to Wikisource extension
• Inter-language link support via Wikidata
• Insert attestation on Wiktionary using Wikisource as a corpus

For the first project, the team will focus on the #1 wish: improve ebook exports. We have created a project page, which includes an analysis of the ebook export process. We now invite everyone to visit the page and share their feedback on the project talk page. Please let us know what you think of our analysis; we want to hear from all of you! Furthermore, we hope that you will participate in the other Wikisource improvement projects, which we’ll address in the future. Thank you in advance and we look forward to reading your feedback on the ebook export improvement talk page!

Furthermore, we hope that you will participate in the other Wikisource improvement projects, which we’ll address in the future. Thank you in advance and we look forward to reading your feedback on the ebook export improvement talk page!

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

• Some articles have tables that can be sorted in different ways. For example a list of countries can be sorted alphabetically but you can click on the size column to sort them by size. If you clicked on the column a second time it would sort the countries from the bottom to the top instead. A third click will now take you back to the original sorting. [72]
• Self-closed tags now work as in the HTML5 specifications. This means you should stop using some of them. <b/> is an example of a self-closed tag that won't work. area, base, br, col, embed, hr, img, input, keygen, link, meta, param, source, track, wbr can be self-closed. Pages with tags that should not be self-closed have been listed in a tracking category since 2016. They will be listed in Special:LintErrors/self-closed-tag. This doesn't affect <references /> or <ref />. [73]
• There is a banner called WikidataPageBanner. It is for example used by the Wikivoyages, Wikimedia Russia and the Catalan, Basque, Galician and Turkish Wikipedias. It will now been seen by mobile visitors too. Before this it was only seen on desktop. The wikis should update instructions on MediaWiki:Sitenotice so that editors know to test and style for mobile too. [74][75]

Changes later this week

• You can now edit MassMessage descriptions through the API. This is useful for tools and gadgets. [76]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 June. It will be on all wikis from 11 June (calendar).

Future changes

• A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. It will not work after 13 July. Wikis should use TemplateStyles instead. 118 wikis need to fix this. You can read more and see if your wiki is affected. [77]

Problems

• Everyone was logged out. This was because a few users saw the wikis as if they were logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now. [86]
• Some readers didn't see new edits to pages. If the page had been recently changed they saw an older version of the page instead. This only affected readers who were logged out. It lasted for ten days. It has been fixed. [87]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 July. It will be on all wikis from 1 July (calendar).

Future changes

Feedback on movement names

Xin chào. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Xin hãy giúp dịch sang ngôn ngữ của bạn if necessary. Cảm ơn!

There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.

Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a survey in 7 languages about 3 naming options. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a Community Open Letter.

Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.

Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, 19:39, ngày 2 tháng 7 năm 2020 (UTC)

Note: The survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement.

Future changes

• Abstract Wikipedia is a new Wikimedia project. It will collect language-independent information that can be easily read in different languages. It builds on Wikidata. The name is preliminary. You can read more. [89]
• The iOS Wikipedia app developers are thinking about new experimental tools. If you use an iPhone you can help them by answering the survey.
• Some rules for user signatures will soon be enforced. Lint errors and invalid HTML will no longer be allowed in user signatures. Nested substitution will not be allowed. A link to your user page, user talk page or user contributions will be required. You can check if your signature works with the new rules. This is because the signatures can cause problems for tools or other text on the page.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia

Thông báo một dự án wiki mới! Chào mừng tới Wikipedia trừu tượng

Xin chào tất cả các bạn,

Tôi vinh dự được giới thiệu Wikipedia Trừu tượng, một dự án mới đã được Hội đồng quản trị Wikimedia Foundation nhất trí phê duyệt. Tóm tắt Wikipedia đề xuất một cách mới để tạo nội dung bách khoa toàn thư theo kiểu đa ngôn ngữ, cho phép nhiều người đóng góp và nhiều độc giả chia sẻ nhiều kiến thức hơn bằng nhiều ngôn ngữ hơn. Đó là một cách tiếp cận nhằm mục đích giúp hợp tác xuyên ngôn ngữ dễ dàng hơn trong các dự án của chúng ta, tăng tính bền vững của phong trào thông qua việc mở rộng quyền truy cập, cải thiện trải nghiệm người dùng cho tất cả các ngôn ngữ và đổi mới kiến thức miễn phí bằng cách kết nối một số điểm mạnh của phong trào của chúng ta để tạo ra một cái gì đó mới.

Đây là dự án mới đầu tiên của chúng tôi trong hơn bảy năm. Tóm tắt Wikipedia đã được đệ trình như một đề xuất dự án của Denny Vrandečić vào tháng 5 năm 2020^[1] sau nhiều năm chuẩn bị và nghiên cứu, dẫn đến một kế hoạch chi tiết và thảo luận sôi nổi trong cộng đồng Wikimedia . Chúng tôi biết rằng năng lượng và sự sáng tạo của cộng đồng thường chạy theo các rào cản ngôn ngữ và thông tin có sẵn trong một ngôn ngữ có thể không chuyển sang ngôn ngữ khác Wikipedias. Wikipedia Trừu tượng dự định sẽ có ngoại hình và cảm nhận như một Wikipedia, nhưng xây dựng trên các mô hình khái niệm mạnh mẽ, độc lập với ngôn ngữ của Wikidata, với mục tiêu cho phép các tình nguyện viên tạo và duy trì các bài viết Wikipedia trên thế giới Wikimedia đa ngôn ngữ của chúng ta.

Dự án sẽ cho phép các tình nguyện viên tập hợp các nguyên tắc cơ bản của một bài viết bằng cách sử dụng các từ và thực thể từ Wikidata. Do Wikidata sử dụng các mô hình khái niệm có nghĩa là phổ quát trên các ngôn ngữ, nên có thể sử dụng và mở rộng các khối kiến thức này để tạo mô hình cho các bài viết cũng có giá trị phổ quát. Sử dụng mã, các tình nguyện viên sẽ có thể dịch các bài viết trừu tượng này thành ngôn ngữ của họ. Nếu thành công, điều này cuối cùng có thể cho phép mọi người đọc về bất kỳ chủ đề nào trong Wikidata bằng ngôn ngữ của họ.

Như bạn có thể tưởng tượng, công việc này sẽ đòi hỏi rất nhiều sự phát triển phần mềm và rất nhiều sự hợp tác giữa các Wikimedian. Để thực hiện nỗ lực này, Denny sẽ tham gia Quỹ với tư cách là nhân viên vào tháng 7 và lãnh đạo sáng kiến này. Bạn có thể biết Denny là người tạo ra Wikidata, một thành viên cộng đồng lâu năm, cựu nhân viên tại Wikimedia Deutschland và là cựu Ủy viên tại Wikimedia Foundation^[2]. Chúng tôi rất vui mừng khi Denny sẽ mang các kỹ năng và chuyên môn của mình để làm việc trong dự án này cùng với các nhóm sản phẩm, công nghệ và các nhóm liên lạc cộng đồng.

Điều quan trọng là phải thừa nhận rằng đây là một dự án thử nghiệm và mỗi cộng đồng Wikipedia có nhu cầu khác nhau. Dự án này có thể tạo ra cho một số cộng đồng lợi thế lớn. Các cộng đồng khác có thể tham gia ít hơn. Mọi cộng đồng Wikipedia ngôn ngữ sẽ được tự do lựa chọn và kiểm duyệt xem họ sẽ sử dụng nội dung từ dự án này như thế nào.

Chúng tôi rất vui vì dự án wiki mới này có khả năng nâng cao công bằng kiến thức thông qua việc tăng khả năng tiếp cận kiến thức. Nó cũng mời chúng ta xem xét và tham gia với các câu hỏi quan trọng về cách thức và kiến thức được xây dựng bởi ai và bởi ai. Chúng tôi mong muốn được hợp tác với cộng đồng để suy nghĩ thông qua những câu hỏi quan trọng này.

Có nhiều việc phải làm khi chúng tôi bắt đầu thiết kế một kế hoạch cho Wikipedia trừu tượng với sự cộng tác chặt chẽ với các cộng đồng của chúng tôi. Tôi khuyến khích bạn tham gia bằng cách truy cập trang dự án và tham gia danh sách gửi thư mới^[3]. Chúng tôi nhận ra rằng Wikipedia trừu tượng là tham vọng, nhưng chúng tôi cũng nhận ra tiềm năng của nó. Chúng tôi mời tất cả các bạn tham gia cùng chúng tôi trên một con đường mới, chưa được khám phá.

Thân mến,

Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation)

Recent changes

• Users can thank others for their edits. Checkusers can now see user data related to that action. This can help identify sock puppets who harass others using thanks. [90]

Problems

• Everyone was logged out a couple of weeks ago to fix a security problem. The problem was not entirely fixed. Because of this everyone was logged out once again last week. [91][92]

Changes later this week

• Wikis that are not for one specific language can translate pages. Sometimes parts of translations are outdated or missing. Outdated translations are marked with a pink background. Missing translations will also be marked in the future. This markup can sometimes break things. It can soon be disabled by using <translate nowrap></translate> on the source page. [93]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 July. It will be on all wikis from 16 July (calendar).

Future changes

• Wikimedia code review plans to use GitLab. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers. [94][95][96][97]

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

• A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. The mobile main page special casing stopped working 14 July. 60 wikis now have main pages that don't work well on mobile. You can see which ones, how to fix it and how to get help in Phabricator. This is the same problem that was reported in Tech News 2020/24 and 2020/26.

Problems

• There is a problem with the interlanguage links. The interlanguage links are the links that help you find a specific page in a different language. The sorting is broken. The developers are working on a solution. [98]
• Some users keep getting the notifications for the same event. Some of these are old events. [99]
• Some users have trouble logging in. This is probably a browser cookie problem. The developers are working on understanding the problem. If you have trouble logging in you can see the details on Phabricator. [100]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 July. It will be on all wikis from 23 July (calendar).

Future changes

• There is a Tải về bản in link. This will disappear. That is because web browsers today can create a printable version or show how it will look in print anyway. [101]

• The Starter kit is now available for wiki communities. This page lists technical resources, tools, and recommendations. These are essential to operate a wiki project. This is mostly useful for smaller wikis where the community has limited experience with this. [102]
• The first features of the Desktop Improvements project are available for logged-in users on all wikis. In order to use them, uncheck Chế độ Vectơ cũ in your local or global preferences in section Tùy chọn giao diện. More improvements are planned. Feedback is welcome.
• On multiple wikis, a UTCLiveClock gadget is available. For wikis that import the gadget directly from mediawiki.org, end users can now choose a different timezone to show instead of UTC.

Problems

• The deployment train for MediaWiki has been blocked this week. [103][104]
• Translation Notification Bot was sending the same message multiple times to every translator. This has been fixed. [105]

Các Tin tức Kỹ thuật mới nhất từ cộng đồng kỹ thuật Wikimedia. Xin hãy thông báo cho các thành viên khác về những thay đổi này. Không phải thay đổi nào cũng ảnh hưởng trực tiếp tới bạn. Các bản dịch đã có sẵn để đọc.

Vấn đề

• Tất cả các truy vấn đến Dịch vụ Truy vấn Wikidata đã gặp lỗi từ 17:50 đến 17:59 (giờ UTC) vào ngày thứ năm, 23 tháng 7. Một số truy vấn tiếp tục gặp lỗi trong thời gian dài hơn sau đó. [107]
• Các liên kết liên wiki đã bị xếp thứ tự sai trong những tuần vừa qua. Vấn đề này đã từng được nhắc đến trong Bản tin Kỹ thuật hai tuần trước. Vấn đề hiện đã được khắc phục. [108]
• Các vấn đề với tuỳ chọn "Chế độ Vectơ cũ" trong các thiết lập toàn cục. Các nhà phát triển đang tìm cách khắc phục lỗi này. [109]
• Một lỗi trong phần mở rộng Wikibase đã vô hiệu hoá mức "khoá di chuyển" và "khoá tạo trang" trong không gian tên chính (Gallery) của Wikimedia Commons. Người dùng không thể khoá trang, và các thiết lập khoá đang có bị vô hiệu hoá, khiến những người dùng vẫn có thể di chuyển và tạo các trang mà đáng ra họ không được phép. Lỗi này hiện đã được sửa. [110]

Thay đổi sắp tới trong tuần này

• Trình phát video sẽ thay đổi sang một giao diện mới đơn giản và hiện đại hơn. Trong tuần này, phiên bản trình phát video thử nghiệm sẽ được kích hoạt thành trình phát video mặc định cho người dùng trên đa số các wiki không phải là Wikipedia. Trình phát video cũ sẽ bị loại bỏ. [111]
• Các trang global.js và global.css của người dùng cũng sẽ được tải trên phiên bản di động. Bạn có thể đọc bản hướng dẫn để biết làm thế nào để ngăn không cho các style này được tải trên giao diện di động. [112]
• In the MonoBook skin, the searchGoButton identifier is now searchButton. This may affect CSS and JS gadgets. Migration instructions can be found in T255953. This was previously mentioned in issue 27.
• Bot operators can use Pywikibot to regularly archive discussions. The behavior when the bot uses counter to prevent large archives was changed. [113]
• Phiên bản mới của MediaWiki sẽ được triển khai trên các wiki thử nghiệm và MediaWiki.org từ ngày 4 tháng Tám. Nó sẽ được cài đặt trên các wiki không phải là Wikipedia và trên một số Wikipedia từ ngày 5 tháng Tám, và trên mọi wiki từ ngày 6 tháng Tám (xem lịch trình).

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis

The FileExporter and FileImporter will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work?

Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.

Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's configuration file which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.

Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.

If you want to know more about the FileImporter extension or the Technical Wishes Project, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team:

Feedback requested: Ebook Export Improvement Project

Note: This message is in English, but we encourage translation into other languages. Thank you!

Hello, everyone!

I am pleased to announce that the Community Tech team at WMF has posted our August update on the Wikisource Ebook Export Improvement project! This project came out of our 2020 Community Wishlist Survey, and it was the #1 wish voted on by survey participants.

So, what does this mean? In short, we want your feedback! Now that we have posted the August update, we want to know what you think. The update includes findings from our community consultation, results from two separate analyses conducted by the team (on improving WSExport reliability & font rendering support), and proposed next steps. It is our hope that people can read our analysis, share their feedback, and engage in a conversation with us on the talk page. Your feedback will be invaluable, and it will help determine the next steps of the project.

Thank you to everyone who has participated in the consultation so far! It's been a joy to explore how we can improve the ebook export experience. Now, we look forward to reading a new round of feedback on the project talk page!

Recent changes

• If you revert an edit using the undo link your edit is marked with an undo tag. This will now only happen if you don't change anything in the edit window before publishing the undo. This is to keep users from marking edits as undos when they actually do something else. [118]
• The new OOUI version will not work with Internet Explorer 8. This means the wikis will look strange and not work well in Internet Explorer 8. This was reported in Tech/News/2020/17. This is because keeping the wikis working with very old browsers creates other problems. [119]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 August. It will be on all wikis from 20 August (calendar).

Future changes

• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 13:30 and 15:30 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis next week. This is a reminder. You can help by translating the announcement message. [120][121]

Hộp công cụ ở đầu văn kiện

Tôi vừa bổ sung một tính năng cho Wikisource. Đó là hộp công cụ ở đầu mỗi trang văn kiện để giúp người đọc tiếp cận dễ dàng hơn với công cụ đọc trang bao gồm: thay đổi cách bố trí, và tải về các định dạng khác nhau cho quyển sách. Tôi nhập nó về từ Wikisource tiếng Pháp (nó được sửa lại từ Wikimedia Commons). Tôi tạm thời bỏ tính năng "Trích dẫn" vì nhận thấy Wikisource tiếng Việt chưa có nhiều sách hoàn chỉnh, bản mẫu trích dẫn ở Wikipedia không hỗ trợ đầy đủ các tham số đơn giản, và Wikiquote hay các dự án khác thì không có bản mẫu này. Tính năng này được kích hoạt mặc định trong lần tới khi bạn dùng Wikisource. Tân (thảo luận) 12:11, ngày 22 tháng 8 năm 2020 (UTC)

Important: maintenance operation on September 1st

Read this message in another language • Xin hãy giúp dịch sang ngôn ngữ của bạn

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic to the secondary data centre on Tuesday, September 1st 2020.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, September 1st. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2).
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• There will be code freezes for the week of September 1st, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community.

Problems

• This is a reminder. All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 14:00 and 15:00 UTC. Please check on the details on the announcement message. [122][123]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Changes later this week

• Normally pages can be moved to a title that has no existing page yet or to a page that has only one revision, which is a redirect to the page to be moved. A new user right allows editors to move pages over one-revision pages that redirect to anywhere. [124]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 September. It will be on all wikis from 10 September (calendar).
• All MediaWiki API modules will now use watchlist instead of watch. This was inconsistent before. [125]

Future changes

• The Wikipedia Android app team might work on patrolling tools in the future. You can let them know what tools would be useful for you or for less experienced patrollers. See the page on mediawiki.org.
• OTRS will be updated to a new version. This will probably take around two days. OTRS agents will not have access to the system during these days. Emails that come in during the update will be delivered when the update is done. The plan is to start around 08:00 UTC on 14 September. This could change. [126]
• The Wikipedia Android app will send push notifications if users want them. This could help you see for example when someone wrote on your talk page or your edit was reverted. This will need Google Play Services to work. It will also be possible to get the app without Google Play Services but push notifications will not work. Google Play Services is also used to make the app work for Android 4.4 users. [127][128]
• Wikimedia code review could move to GitLab. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers. You can take part in the consultation.
• Dropdown menus in the Vector skin use a .menu class. This will not work in the future. Scripts can use nav ul instead. .vectorTabs and .vectorMenu will also not work. Some scripts need to be updated. You can read more in Phabricator.

Lỗi logo

Em vô tình lướt qua thì không rõ vì sao khi dùng màn hình ở độ phân giải 1920x1080 ở chế độ zoom 120%, 133% và 150% thì logo bị lỗi hiển thị mất 1/2 chữ Wikisource, trong khi hiện tượng này không bị ở phiên bản tiếng Anh? P/S: Các thảo luận cũng nên được lưu rồi vì phải load và cuộn chuột khá lâu thì người dùng mới có thể đi đến được mục này. :) Violet (thảo luận) 09:00, ngày 12 tháng 9 năm 2020 (UTC)

@Violetbonmua: tôi loay hoay mãi vẫn không hiểu tại sao lại bị tình trạng như vậy. Chỉ có mỗi dự án tiếng Việt là bị như vậy, không có dự án ngôn ngữ nào khác bị cả. Trong khi chưa tìm ra nguyên nhân để khắc phục, tin vui là MediaWiki đang dần phát hành giao diện Vector mới (kích hoạt bằng cách chọn hộp kiểm ở đây. Hy vọng vấn đề này sẽ tự mất đi theo thời gian.

Wikisource Pagelist Widget: Ready to be enabled

Note: This message is in English, but we encourage translation into other languages. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

We are excited to announce that the Wikisource Pagelist widget is now available to be enabled on all Wikisources. Any interface admin on your wiki can enable it by using the instructions on the following page:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ProofreadPage/Pagelist_widget

In case, your wiki doesn’t have an interface admin, reach out to us on the ‘Help with enabling the widget on your wiki’ section of the project talk page and we will connect you with a global interface admin:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikisource_Pagelist_Widget#Help_with_enabling_the_widget_on_your_wiki

You will need to hold a local discussion around what would be the labels for different page types in your language for the visual mode. (For example, ToC = ਤਤਕਰਾ in Punjabi, title = শিরোনাম in Bengali)

Feel free to also give us any feedback on the project talk page on Meta-Wiki as well.

Regards

Sohom Datta

Recent changes

• There is a new tag for reverted edits. For example you can see it in the recent changes feed or in the article history. It is added to edits when they have been undone, rollbacked or manually reverted to an older version of the page. [131][132]

Changes later this week

• The number of times you can do something in a period of time on wiki is limited. This could be the number of edits per minute or the number of users you email in a day. Some users are not affected by all limits because of their user rights. They could soon see the limit even if it does not affect them. [133]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 September. It will be on all wikis from 24 September (calendar).

Wikisource Pagelist Widget: Wikisource Meetup (29th September 2020)

Hello everyone,

We hope you are doing well!

We reached out to you a couple of weeks ago to share that Wikisource Pagelist Widget is now ready to be enabled to Wikisource. Since then, many language Wikisources have enabled the widget but many are yet to do so.

So, we have decided to organize a Wikisource Meetup to give a live demonstration on how to use the widget in both wikitext and visual modes. There will be some time for the participants to share their feedback and experience with the widget. We will also provide support in case some Wikisource communities are seeking help in enabling the widget.

The meetup will take place on 29 September 2020 at 9:30 AM UTC or 3 PM IST. Google Meet link for the meeting is: http://meet.google.com/khu-dfph-qsd

Looking forward to seeing the global Wikisource community connect amid these difficult times when physical meetings have not been taking place.

P.S. If you are planning to attend this meetup and are comfortable in sharing your email address then send us your confirmation in the form of a small email to sgill@wikimedia.org, this will help us in getting a sense of the number of people that are planning to show-up. We are aware that this time-zone is not convenient for everyone and more meetups can be organized in the future.

Regards

Sohom, Sam and Satdeep

Tech News: 2020-40

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

• Admins can now see links to diffs of deleted revisions on Special:AbuseLog. This uses the interface of Special:Undelete. [134]
• Editors are automatically added to some user groups. For example editors are added to autoconfirmed users when they have edited enough times and long enough. Abuse filters can hinder users from automatically getting user rights for a period of time. They can also remove rights user have. Wikis can now ask to change how long this period of time is for their wiki in Phabricator. It is currently five days. [135]

Problems

• Last year some abuse filters stopped working because of a new change. If they tried to use variables that were unavailable for that action they would fail. This has now been fixed. [136]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 September. It will be on all wikis from 1 October (calendar).

Future changes

• You can't see the language links to other language versions from the talk page or history page. They are also not shown when you edit an article. This could change. It is not decided if for example the history page should link to another history page or to the article. You can take part in the discussion in Phabricator.
• The link colours could change. This is to make the difference between links and other text more clear. You can read more in Phabricator.
• In your preferences you can choose to get different notifications on the web or by email. You will see Apps as one of the alternatives later this week. This is because the Android and iOS Wikipedia apps will use push notifications for those who want them. You can see the preferences on the test wiki. The goal is to have push notifications on Android in October and on iOS in early 2021. [137]
• You can soon put pages on your watchlist for a limited time. This could be useful if you want to watch something for a shorter time but don't want it on your watchlist forever. It now works on mediawiki.org and will come to more wikis later. You can read more and see when it will come to other wikis.
• You can see what Wikimedians think are the best new technical tools this year. You can also nominate them.

Wiki of functions naming contest

Xin hãy giúp dịch sang ngôn ngữ của bạn.

Xin chào. Please help pick a name for the new Wikimedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki where the community can work together on a library of functions. The community can create new functions, read about them, discuss them, and share them. Some of these functions will be used to help create language-independent Wikipedia articles that can be displayed in any language, as part of the Abstract Wikipedia project. But functions will also be usable in many other situations.

There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with voting beginning on 29 September and 27 October. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on 8 December. If you would like to participate, then please learn more and vote now at meta-wiki. Cảm ơn! --Quiddity (WMF)

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

• There is a new tool where you can see which home wiki users have in discussions on Meta. This can help show which communities are not part of the discussion on wikis where we make decisions that affect many other wikis.
• You can now thank users for file uploads or for changing the language of a page. [138]

Problems

• There were many errors with the new MediaWiki version last week. The new version was rolled back. Updates that should have happened last week are late. [139]
• Everyone was logged out. This was because a user reported being logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now. [140]
• Many pages have JavaScript errors. You can read more and now see a list of user scripts with errors.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 October. It will be on all wikis from 8 October (calendar).
• Letters immediately after a link are shown as part of the link. For example the entire word in [[Child]]ren is linked. On Arabic wikis this works at both the start and end of a word. Previously on Arabic wikis numbers and other non-letter Unicode characters were shown as part of the link at the start of a word but not at the end. Now only Latin and Arabic letters will extend links on Arabic wikis. [141]

Future changes

• You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on 27 October around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [142]

• In the AbuseFilter extension, the rmspecials() function will be updated soon so that it does not remove the "space" character. Wikis are advised to wrap all the uses of rmspecials() with rmwhitespace() wherever necessary to keep filters' behavior unchanged. You can use the search function on Special:AbuseFilter to locate its usage. [150]
• Some gadgets and user-scripts use the HTML div with the ID #jump-to-nav. This div will be removed soon. Maintainers should replace these uses with either #siteSub or #mw-content-text. A list of affected scripts is at the top of phab:T265373.

Important: maintenance operation on October 27

Đọc thông báo này bằng thứ tiếng khác • Xin hãy giúp dịch sang ngôn ngữ của bạn

Quỹ Wikimedia sẽ thử nghiệm việc chuyển đổi qua lại giữa trung tâm dữ liệu chính và trung tâm dữ liệu phụ. Nó sẽ giúp Wikipedia và các wiki khác của Wikimedia luôn duy trì được sự hoạt động cả sau tình huống thiên tai. Để đảm bảo mọi thứ vẫn hoạt động, phòng Công nghệ Wikimedia cần tiến hành một cuộc thử nghiệm đã chuẩn bị từ trước. Cuộc thử nghiệm này sẽ kiểm tra khả năng chuyển đổi một cách an toàn từ trung tâm dữ liệu này sang trung tâm dữ liệu khác. Cuộc thử nghiệm đòi hỏi nhiều nhóm phải luôn trong tư thế sẵn sàng để sửa chữa bất cứ vấn đề ngoài ý muốn xảy ra.

Họ sẽ chuyển tất cả lượt truy cập trở lại trung tâm dữ liệu chính vào thứ Ba, ngày 27 tháng 10 năm 2020.

Tuy vậy, vì những hạn chế của MediaWiki, mọi tác vụ sửa đổi đều bị ngưng khi việc chuyển đổi diễn ra. Chúng tôi chân thành xin lỗi vì sự gián đoạn này, và chúng tôi vẫn đang tìm cách để giảm thiểu tình huống như vậy trong tương lai.

Bạn vẫn có thể đọc, nhưng không thể sửa đổi, toàn bộ các wiki trong một thời gian ngắn.

• Có thể bạn sẽ không thể sửa đổi trong vòng tối đa là một giờ vào thứ Ba, ngày 27 tháng 10. Cuộc thử nghiệm sẽ bắt đầu vào lúc 14:00 UTC (14:00 WET, 15:00 CET, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, và tại New Zealand là 03:00 NZDT ngày thứ Tư, 28 tháng 10).
• Nếu bạn thực hiện sửa đổi hoặc lưu trữ trong khoảng thời gian này, bạn sẽ nhận được thông báo lỗi. Chúng tôi hy vọng không có sửa đổi nào sẽ bị mất trong thời điểm đó, nhưng chúng tôi không đảm bảo được. Nếu bạn thấy thông báo lỗi, xin vui lòng chờ đến khi mọi thứ trở lại bình thường. Sau đó bạn sẽ có thể lưu sửa đổi của mình. Nhưng chúng tôi khuyên bạn nên lưu trữ một bản sao thay đổi của mình để đề phòng.

Tác động khác:

• Tác vụ xử lý nền sẽ chậm hơn và một số có thể bị ngừng hẳn. Các liên kết đỏ có thể sẽ không được cập nhật nhanh chóng như thường lệ. Nếu bạn tạo một bài viết được liên kết từ một nơi khác, liên kết đó sẽ mang màu đỏ lâu hơn bình thường. Một số mã kịch bản tốn nhiều thời gian chạy sẽ phải dừng lại.
• Mã nguồn sẽ được đóng băng trong tuần ngày 26 tháng 10 năm 2020. Những mã không cần thiết sẽ không được triển khai.

Dự án này có thể bị trì hoãn nếu cần thiết. Bạn có thể đọc lịch trình thử nghiệm tại wikitech.wikimedia.org. Tất cả thay đổi sẽ được thông báo trong lịch trình. Chúng tôi sẽ tiếp tục có thêm thông báo về quá trình này. Chúng tôi sẽ đăng thông báo tại băng rôn đầu trang tại mọi wiki 30 phút trước khi tiến hành. Xin vui lòng chia sẻ thông tin này với cộng đồng của bạn.

Future changes

• Since the introduction of the interface administrators user group in 2018, administrators couldn’t view the deleted history of CSS/JS pages. Now they can. [153]
• There was a problem with the Change Tags. The software would apply the "Đã bị lùi lại" tag to any page actions such as page-protection changes if they came directly after a reverted edit. This has now been fixed for new edits. [154]
• The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias in November. Another announcement will be made once the date is finalized. [155]

Recent changes

• You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser uses very old TLS. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It could lead to downgrade attacks. Since October 29, 2020, users who use old TLS versions will not be able to connect to Wikimedia projects. A list of browser recommendations is available. All modern operating systems and browsers are always able to reach Wikimedia projects. [156]
• There is a new automatic tracking category available: Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments. It collects pages which use the {{formatnum}} parser function with invalid (non-numeric) input, e.g. {{formatnum:TECHNEWS}}. Note that {{formatnum:123,456}} is also invalid input: as described in the documentation, the argument should be unformatted so that it can be reliably and correctly localised. The tracking category will help identify problematic usage and double-formatting. The new tracking category's name can be translated at translatewiki. [157]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from November 3. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from November 4. It will be on all wikis from November 5 (calendar).
• Administrators and stewards will be able to use a special page (Special:CreateLocalAccount) to force local account creation for a global account. This is useful when account creation is blocked for that user (by a block or a filter). [158]
• The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias on November 4. This change excludes the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias, plus a few smaller Wikipedias with special circumstances. You can read the help page and the troubleshooting guide for more information. [159]

Future changes

• A discussion has been restarted about using a Unicode minus sign (− U+2212) in the output of {{formatnum}} when it is given a negative argument. [160]
• In the future IP addresses of unregistered users will not be shown for everyone. They will get an alias instead. There will be a new user right or an opt-in function for more vandal fighters to see the IPs of unregistered users. There would be some criteria for who gets the user right or opt-in. There will also be other new tools to help handle vandalism. This is early in the process and the developers are still collecting information from the communities before they suggest solutions.

Future changes

• You can see reference previews. This shows a preview of the footnote when you hover over it. This has been a beta feature. It will move out of beta and be enabled by default. There will be an option not to use it. The developers are looking for small or medium-sized wikis to be the first ones. You can let them know if your wiki is interested. [161]
• From November 16 the categories will not be sorted in order for a short time. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the internationalisation library. They will use a script to fix the existing categories. This can take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [162][163]

Update to ICU Unicode library

Starting on November 16, we will migrate the servers running the MediaWiki application servers to a new release of the ICU Unicode library (w:International Components for Unicode) (from version 57 to 63).

This unblocks some future work on upgrading the servers to a new Operating System release and will also allow the use of improved internationalisation in the future (as wikis will then be able to use features introduced by the new ICU release such as new collation definitions, and allows us to use a more recent version of Unicode in MediaWiki).

This migration will cause some unavoidable temporary user-visible impact: The sorting of some category pages will be distorted – all pages which have been updated with the new software version will use the new sorting while untouched pages still use the old sorting. As such, we need to run a maintenance script to update the sorting for old entries.

The distortions may last from a few hours (on medium-sized wikis), up to a day (on the largest wikis), and a few days on English Wikipedia. The start-time will depend upon when the migration script reaches each wiki.

This affects 149 wikis (including eight out of the ten biggest Wikipedias). The detailed list and the task for the technical implementation is at T264991.

Thank you.

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion

Xin chào!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Xin hãy giúp dịch sang ngôn ngữ của bạn. According to the list, your wiki project currently is opted in to the global bot policy. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards.

As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links.

A proposal was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, global sysops and global renamers, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like ListeriaBot.

By this message, I would like to invite you to comment in the global RFC, to voice your opinion about this matter.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist

Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!

As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.

Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.

This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.

Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.

If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

Future changes

• The iOS Wikipedia app will show readers more of the article history. They can see new updates and easier see how the article has changed over time. This is an experiment. It will first be shown only to some iOS app users as a test. [169][170]
• The Wiki Replicas can be used for SQL queries. You can use Quarry, PAWS or other ways to do this. To make the Wiki Replicas stable there will be two changes. Cross-database JOINS will no longer work. You can also only query a database if you connect to it directly. This will happen in February 2021. If you think this affects you and you need help you can post on Phabricator or on Wikitech. [171]

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 11 January 2021.

Recent changes

• The {{citation needed}} template shows when a statement in a Wikipedia article needs a source. If you click on it when you edit with the visual editor there is a popup that explains this. Now it can also show the reason and when it was added. [177]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.

Future changes

• You can propose and discuss what technical improvements should be done for geographic information. This could be coordinates, maps or other related things.
• Some wikis use LanguageConverter to switch between writing systems or variants of a language. This can only be done for the entire page. There will be a <langconvert> tag that can convert a piece of text on a page. [178]
• Oversighters and stewards can hide entries in Special:AbuseLog. They can soon hide multiple entries at once using checkboxes. This works like hiding normal edits. It will happen in early January. [179]
