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 use tags to filter edits in the recent changes feed or on your watchlist. You can now use tags to filter out edits you don't want to see. Previously you could only use tags to focus on the edits with those tags. [1]
Special:WhatLinksHere shows all pages that link to a specific page. There is now a prototype for how to sort those pages alphabetically. You can see the discussion in the Phabricator ticket.
You can now use the thanks function on your watchlist and the user contribution page. [2]
A wiki page can be moved to give it a new name. You can now get a dropdown menu with common reasons when you move a page. This is so you don't have to write the explanation every time. [3]
Matrix is a chat tool. You can now use matrix: to create Matrix links on wiki pages. [4]
You can filter out translations when you look at the recent changes on multilingual wikis. This didn't hide translation pages. You can now also hide subpages which are translation pages. [5]

Problems

The URLs in "ant" links on page history now contain diff=prev&oldid=[revision ID] in place of diff=[revision ID]&oldid=[revision ID]. This is to fix a problem with links pointing to incorrect diffs when history was filtered by a tag. Some user scripts may break as a result of this change. [6]

These will be extended to other talk namespaces, such as Wikinotícias Discussão:. They will continue to be unavailable in non-talk namespaces, including Wikinotícias: pages (e.g., at the Village Pump). You can change your preferences (beta feature). [7]
On Wikisources, when an image is zoomed or panned in the Page: namespace, the same zoom and pan settings will be remembered for all Page: namespace pages that are linked to a particular Index: namespace page. [8]

Wikinews Interlingual Association idea Contact[editar código-fonte]

Hello. I am a senior user from Chinese Wikinews. I want to strengthen the links between the Wikinews language communities and develop an excellent citizen news platform. Does it include the possibility of setting up a Telegram group to communicate with each other? Original reports or news about different languages, and news reports of news value are published in the group, so that everyone can know and translate each other. I also hope to strengthen contacts with projects in various Wikinews languages for a long time, and even establish a Wikinews Association to help our journalists facilitate the development of our projects, which may include applying for funding from the foundation, writing reports better, including original reporting projects, for public welfare, and better. Let our news agency reporters go to other places to interview, including bonuses, travel expenses, transportation expenses, and meals? In fact, I hope that if these reporting expenses can receive a foundation subsidy, in fact, journalists may focus more on original reporting, and they should do so! I thought it might be better to open a Wikinews Association across languages. I use Chinese as my mother tongue, so there may be some mistakes in English. If you don't understand, you are welcome to communicate, especially in simple English. Thank you very much!

Original reporting is in fact what media organizations should do more, because now many journalists' associations and experts criticize everyone for doing real-time news, and I do real-time news, which results in the lack of room for public attention or news stories that should be reported in depth, so this mentality is unfavorable to the media environment and the public.

Establishing an association to help Wikinews can provide more room for the platform to be upgraded and make it more convenient for our journalists to move. The establishment of associations can further unite the community, hold activities, vigorously develop Wikinews projects, and even launch a series of reports, so that we can no longer have a single report, enhance the credibility of our media from the public, and be more popular.

Wikinews is a very suitable project for cross-language associations, because we are all doing the same thing and reporting around the world. It is one of the purposes of public broadcasting organizations to focus on diversified reports and public interest reports.--Kitabc12345 (discussão) 13h02min de 18 de janeiro de 2023 (UTC)Responder[responder]

@Kitabc12345: Hi! I'm very interested in improving the relations between Wikinews languages. Previously the Portuguese Wikinews community discussed this and I created meta:Wikinews Nunchi, but at the time there were problems and the idea was forgotten. This idea included many things: development of tools, promotion on social networks, translations, etc. Edu! • disc 14h20min de 18 de janeiro de 2023 (UTC)Responder[responder]

Thank you very much for your interest! Personally, I think using Telegram groups may be a good way to cooperate in cross-language translation, because if these plans do not have the help of social message apps groups, it may be difficult to work and involve communication skills just relying on a wiki page. Thank you very much! Yours meta:Wikinews Nunchi project is very good. Thank you very much for your dedication to Wikinews~ Kitabc12345 (discussão) 17h24min de 18 de janeiro de 2023 (UTC)Responder[responder]

I have received a lot of editors saying that they don't use Telegram. So if ping is also feasible on the wiki page, I'm sorry. Kitabc12345 (discussão) 17h45min de 18 de janeiro de 2023 (UTC)Responder[responder]

@Kitabc12345 I thought a lot of editors would say that. Perhaps concentrating the discussion on a wiki page would be better, it could facilitate the inclusion of links and the use of translation tools. Edu! • disc 19h34min de 18 de janeiro de 2023 (UTC)Responder[responder]

Right. We can add use wiki page work it. Thanks. Kitabc12345 (discussão) 07h25min de 19 de janeiro de 2023 (UTC)Responder[responder]

Tech News: 2023-05[editar código-fonte]

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

Last week, for ~15 minutes, some users were unable to log in or edit pages. This was caused by a problem with session storage. [12]

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 February. It will be on all wikis from 2 February (calendar).

Future changes

Wikis that use localized numbering schemes for references need to add new CSS. This will help to show citation numbers the same way in all reading and editing modes. If your wiki would prefer to do it yourselves, please see the details and example CSS to copy from, and also add your wiki to the list. Otherwise, the developers will directly help out starting the week of February 5.

Across all the wikis, in the Vector 2022 skin, logged-in users will see the page-related links such as "What links here" in a new side menu. It will be displayed on the other side of the screen. This change had previously been made on Czech, English, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. [15]

Gadgets and user scripts will be changing to load on desktop and mobile sites. Previously they would only load on the desktop site.
