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

Tech News writers, editors and translators wish you a pleasant 2019 year.

Recent changes

  • RelatedSites extension has been undeployed. It was used to create interwiki links on Wikivoyage, now handled by Wikidata. [1]
  •   MediaWiki logstash logging is moving to a new infrastructure. This is an ongoing deployment. [2]
  •   codesearch.wmflabs.org has been updated, with new and updated repositories and a new search options for code. [3]
  •   On several wikis, an account named "Filtro de edições" has been created on December 17 to perform some technical maintenance on AbuseFilter. This account has sysop rights but it's a system user and no human can use it. The account already existed on wikis where AbuseFilter can perform blocks, which are issued using this account. See T212268 for more information and future plans.

Problems

  •   In AbuseFilter, the "Limitador" action takes three parameters: count, period and groups. They must now strictly respect the requirements listed on mediawiki.org. A list of broken filters is on Phabricator. If you're familiar with AbuseFilter, please take a look and fix them. [4]

Changes later this week

  •   The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 8. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from January 9. It will be on all wikis from January 10 (calendar).

Meetings

  • Search Platform Office Hours is rescheduled to January 9. Check the details for time and date.

Tech News: 2019-03 editar

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

  • You can now use Google Translate in the content translation tool. [5][6]
  • You can now add captions to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup.
  • Earlier a quoted HTML attribute had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [7][8]
  •   Templates with <templatestyles> could not show the difference between the live template and the sandbox version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. <templatestyles> has a new wrapper parameter now. You can use it for selectors like .mw-parser-output <wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page>. [9]

Problems

  • When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have tags. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [10]

Changes later this week

  • You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new FileExporter. It will be a beta feature on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you activate it and check your wiki's configuration file.
  • Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [11]
  •   The AbuseFilter variable minor_edit has been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on Special:AbuseFilter.
  •   The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 15 17h55min de 14 de janeiro de 2019 (UTC)

Tech News: 2019-04 editar

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

Tech News

  • Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta. [12]

Recent changes

  • The content translation tool can now use version 2 as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature. For example it adds the tracking category !Páginas com traduções não revistas to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category in Special:TrackingCategories on Wikipedias.
  • https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF, EPUB or ODT. Previously this was 200 pages.

Problems

  • When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [13]
  • MassMessage is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [14][15]
  • Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [16]

Changes later this week

  • You will be able to use template styles in the Module namespace. [17]
  •   The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (calendar).

Meetings

Talk to us about talking editar

 

A Fundação Wikimedia está planeando uma consulta global sobre comunicação. O objectivo é reunir os wikimedistas e pessoas com pensamento wiki por forma a melhorar as ferramentas de comunicação.

Queremos que todos os colaboradores possam falar uns com os outros sobre as wikis, seja qual for a sua experiência, habilidades ou dispositivos.

Estamos à procura de informações vindas do maior número possível de lados da comunidade Wikimedia. Poderá ter origem em vários projetos, vários idiomas e com várias perspectivas.

Estamos actualmente planeando a consulta, e precisamos da sua ajuda.

Precisamos de voluntários para ajudar a conversar com suas comunidades ou grupos de usuários.

Você pode ajudar hospedando uma discussão em sua wiki. Veja o que fazer:

  1. Primeiro, inscreva seu grupo aqui.
  2. Em seguida, crie uma página (ou uma seção em uma bomba do Village ou um tópico de e-mail - o que for natural para o seu grupo) para coletar informações de outras pessoas do seu grupo. Esta não é uma discussão de votação ou tomada de decisão: estamos apenas coletando feedback.
  3. Depois pergunte às pessoas o que elas pensam sobre os processos de comunicação. Queremos ouvir histórias e outras informações sobre como as pessoas se comunicam entre si e fora do wiki. Por favor, considere fazer estas cinco perguntas:
    1. Quando você quer discutir um tópico com sua comunidade, quais ferramentas funcionam para você e quais problemas bloqueiam você?
    2. E as páginas de discussão funcionam para os recém-chegados e o que os bloqueia?
    3. Com o que os outros lutam em sua comunidade sobre as páginas de discussão?
    4. O que você gostaria de poder fazer nas páginas de discussão, mas não pode devido às limitações técnicas?
    5. Quais são os aspectos importantes de uma "discussão da wiki"?
  4. Finalmente, por favor, vá para Consulta de páginas de discussão 2019 em Mediawiki.org e relatar o que você aprendeu com seu grupo. Por favor inclua links se a discussão estiver disponível para o público.

Você também pode ajudar a criar a lista das muitas maneiras diferentes pelas quais as pessoas falam umas com as outras.

  • Nem todos os grupos ativos em wikis ou em torno de wikis usam a mesma maneira de discutir coisas: pode acontecer em wiki, em redes sociais, através de ferramentas externas... Diga-nos como seu grupo se comunica.

Você pode ler mais sobre o processo global em mediawiki.org. Se você tiver dúvidas ou idéias, você pode deixar comentários sobre o processo de consulta na língua que preferir.

Obrigado! Estamos ansiosos para conversar com você.

Problems

  • Some wikis will not be able to edit for a short period of time on 19 March (UTC). This will start at 15:00 UTC. It will last up to 15 minutes but probably shorter. You can see the list of affected wikis. This is because of network maintenance. You can still read the wikis.
  • Editors who use Firefox to edit with the visual editor had a problem with copying text. When they tried to select text that included footnotes, templates or block images in the middle they would often only get part of the text. This has now been fixed. [26]

Recent changes

  • The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [32]

Problems

  • There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [33]
  • The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [34]
  • Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [35]

Problems

  • File descriptions for files from Commons were not shown properly on other Wikimedia wikis for a few days. For example the image descriptions and license information were missing. This has now been fixed. [63][64]
  • Some diffs show an error message when you try to see them. The developers are working on fixing it. It could be because of some edit comments. [65][66]

Changes later this week

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

Future changes

  • The content translation tool on Wikipedia can use machine translations. There is a system to stop translations where the editors do not fix machine translation mistakes. This warns or stops them if they seem to just copy what the machine translation gives them. If this system is too strict or not strict enough you can tell the language team. [67]
  •   The Wikidata wbeditentity API endpoint will remove all aliases if the request includes an empty alias. This is how it supposed to work. It has not been working this way because of a bug. This will start on 12 June. [68]

Recent changes

  • You can now write all special letters in all African Wikipedia languages. This works in the desktop version. [71]
  • There is now a field called depicts on Commons. This is a way to show what is in a picture with the help of Wikidata. It is still in development. [72]
  • Some tools on Toolforge may break on or after 3 June because of database changes. Maintainers should update their tools to use the new schema. [73][74]

Problems

  • You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for 30 minutes on 19 June at 05:00 (UTC). This is to fix a hardware problem. [75]

Changes later this week

  • Some wikis have one tab for the visual editor and one tab for a wikitext editor. Others wikis just have one tab. If your wiki has two tabs, clicking a link to create a new page has always opened a wikitext editor. It will now open the editor you used the last time you edited. [76]

Recent changes

  • When you create a PDF from a page on the wiki this is now done by Proton. Before this we used Electron. It should look the same but work better. Both use Chromium. This is a different system from when you collect several articles into a book and make a PDF from them. [77][78]
  • The Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standard OOUI icons. There will be additional minor fixes for positioning in the next deployment. [79]
  •   Bots and other scripts that do not set an identifiable User-Agent may find their requests strictly rate-limited until they identify themselves properly. [80]

Problems

  • Please check if the Flagged Revisions configuration on your wiki is as you expect (or as it was a few weeks ago). If not, please report it. [81]

  • MIDI files can soon be played without the Score extension. You can then add them with [[File:Filename.midi]]. Later override_midi and override_audio will stop working. Instead you will need to add the MIDI file below the music score. [83]
  • A new video player will soon replace the old one. You will be able to enable it as a beta feature in your preferences. It will later be enabled for everyone if there are no big problems. [84]

Tech News

  • Only six accounts can be created from one IP address per day. Between 12 August and August 15 this was two accounts per day. This was because of a security issue. It is now six accounts per day again. [112]

Changes later this week

  • Only a limited number of accounts can be created from one IP address. An IP address can be whitelisted so that it can create as many accounts as needed. This is useful at events where many new persons learn to edit. IP addresses that are whitelisted for this reason will also not show CAPTCHAs when you create accounts. This will happen on Wednesday. [113]

Dúvida sobre esboços editar

Oi Jaider, tudo bom? Voltei a editar na Wikipédia e me surgiu uma dúvida de esboços. Eu entendi que um esboço é um artigo com pouca informação, que não possui seções nem ligações internas ou externas. Mas tenho visto alguns artigos mais elaborados com a predefinição de esboço. Se eu vir que o artigo está completo, posso simplesmente tirar essa predefinição? Desde já agradeço pela colaboração! - L. Inafuko (discussão) 12h58min de 10 de outubro de 2019 (UTC)

  • Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are no longer supported. This means the browsers might start looking a bit weird. They will not get security support. You can't read Wikimedia wikis in Internet Explorer on Windows XP or Windows versions that are older than Windows XP. This is because almost no one uses the browsers anymore. Supporting them made the wikis less secure for everyone else. [129]
  • In the future section headings might have a share link. This is to make it easier to link to the section. You can read more and discuss.

Problems

  • There is a translation tool we use on wikis with more than one language. For a few days it did not create pages for new languages when someone translated a page. The languages did not show in the language bar. This has been fixed. [131]

O evento será realizado ao longo do mês de novembro de 2019 e tem como propósito, na Wikipédia em português, aumentar a qualidade e a quantidade de artigos relativos a países e territórios asiáticos.
