Projektneuheiten:
- (Softwareneuheit) Die interne Cirrus-Suchmaschine wurde um den Abfrageparameter „pageid“ erweitert. Damit wird die Abfrage auf die angegebenen Seiten-IDs einschränkt. Dies ist nützlich, um zwischengespeicherte Suchergebnisse erneut zu validieren (Task 269642, Gerrit:646896).
- Für Jedermann
- (Softwareneuheit) Der jeweils letzte Bearbeiter eines Bearbeitungsfilters erhält eine Benachrichtung, wenn der Filter gedrosselt (throttle) wurde (Gerrit:640408).
- Für Programmierer
- (Softwareneuheit) Auf CSS-, JS- und Modulseiten werden nun Zeilennummern angezeigt. (Task T32773, Gerrit:652563) Bei CSS, JS als verlinkbare Sprungmarken mit
#L-nnnn
– bei JSON erfolgt keine Quellcode-Darstellung und somit gibt es auch keine Zeilennummern. Bei Lua-Modulen gibt es zurzeit keine Fragmentbezeichner. - (CSS/JS) Mark
mw-infobox
styles as deprecated (Task 268194, Gerrit:647759). - (CSS/JS) Elemente, die bereits die CSS-Klasse
history-size
haben, erhalten zusätzlich das Attributdata-mw-bytes="$size"
(Task 147908, Gerrit:651506). - (API) Ignore watchlist preferences for bot users. The watchlist is mostly not useful for bots doing massive edits or uploads. This reduces the growth of the watchlist tables at all and avoids less users with massive entries unable to delete or clear (Task 258108, Gerrit:650784).
- (API) Export CSS classes in page info (Task 237538, Gerrit:647841).
- (nur der Vollständigkeit halber) Implement <langconvert> tag (Task 263082, Gerrit:627938).

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 choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the CAPTCHA. This has now been fixed. [1]
- You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry. [2]
- Admins can use the abuse filter tool to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
- The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later. [3]
- Oversighters can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on Special:AbuseLog. This is how the usual revision deletion works. [4]
- When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is "throttled". The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this "throttle".
- There is a new tool to build new skins. You can also see existing skins. You can give feedback. [5]
- Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the
watchlist
towatch
will still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database. [6] - Scribunto's file metadata now includes length. [7]
- CSS and JavaScript code pages now have link anchors to line numbers. You can use wikilinks like w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js#L-50. [8]
- There was a new version of MediaWiki last week. You can read a detailed log of all 763 changes. Most of them are very small and will not affect you.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 January. It will be on all wikis from 14 January (calendar).

- Die Wikipedia in nördlichem Luri (لۊری شومالی) wurde geschlossen, da der Inhalt nicht in echtem nördlichen Luri geschrieben wurde. Aus der Begründung des Sprachen-Komitees: „Es wurde festgestellt, dass der Inhalt von lrc.wikipedia.org eigentlich nicht in einer verständlichen Form von Nord-Luri (lrc) geschrieben ist. Es ist eher ein Versuch, eine "reine" Form der Sprache ohne persische oder arabische Lehnwörter zu präsentieren, die dann stattdessen kurdische Lehnwörter verwendet und so etwas wie eine Mischform aus (Nord-)Luri, Laki und Kurdi (geschrieben mit dem kurdischen Alphabet) ergibt. Da dies eine komplette Erfindung von Benutzer:Mogoeilor (und vielleicht einigen anderen) ist, ist das Wiki für die Allgemeinheit unverständlich. (Übersetzt mit www.DeepL.com/Translator)“.

- (API) ApiQueryInfo: Return watchlist expiry when applicable for inprop=watched. The expiry is returned as a separate key, 'watchlistexpiry', to match other APIs, and because some clients might expect 'watched' to be a boolean (or blank string depending on the formatversion) (Task 268834, Gerrit:649736).

Hallo Olaf Kosinsky!
Die von dir angelegte Seite Gregor Hagedorn wurde zum Löschen vorgeschlagen. Gemäß den Löschregeln wird über die Löschung mindestens sieben Tage diskutiert und danach entschieden.
Du bist herzlich eingeladen, dich an der Löschdiskussion zu beteiligen. Wenn du möchtest, dass der Artikel behalten wird, kannst du dort die Argumente, die für eine Löschung sprechen, entkräften, indem du dich beispielsweise zur enzyklopädischen Relevanz des Artikels äußerst. Du kannst auch während der Löschdiskussion Artikelverbesserungen vornehmen, die die Relevanz besser erkennen lassen und die Mindestqualität sichern.
Da bei Wikipedia jeder Löschanträge stellen darf, sind manche Löschanträge auch offensichtlich unbegründet; solche Anträge kannst du ignorieren.
Vielleicht fühlst du dich durch den Löschantrag vor den Kopf gestoßen, weil durch den Antrag die Arbeit, die du in den Artikel gesteckt hast, nicht gewürdigt wird. Sei tapfer und bleibe dennoch freundlich. Der andere meint es vermutlich auch gut.
Grüße, Xqbot (Diskussion) 19:54, 20. Jan. 2021 (CET) (Diese Nachricht wurde automatisch durch einen Bot erstellt. Wenn du zukünftig von diesem Bot nicht mehr über Löschanträge informiert werden möchtest, trag dich hier ein.)

Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen. Übersetzungen sind verfügbar.
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 19 Januar verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 20 Januar. Auf allen Wikis ab 21 Januar (Kalender).
Zukünftige Änderungen
- Das Wachstumsteam plant, Funktionen zu mehr Wikipedias hinzuzufügen, um mehr Besucher zum Bearbeiten zu bewegen. Du kannst helfen, die Schnittstelle zu übersetzen.
- Am 26 Januar um 07:00 (UTC) kannst du für kurze Zeit Wikimedia Commons lesen, aber nicht bearbeiten. [9]
- Massennachricht-Beiträge könnten in Zukunft automatisch mit einem Zeitstempel versehen werden. Dies liegt daran, dass Massennachricht-Absender jetzt Seiten mit MassMessage senden können. Seiten sind schwieriger zu signieren. Wenn es Zeiten gibt, in denen ein Massennachrichtspost nicht mit einem Zeitstempel versehen werden soll, kannst du dies den Entwicklern mitteilen.

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
- IPv6 addresses were written in lowercase letters in diffs. This caused dead links since Special:Contributions only accepted uppercase letters for the IPs. This has been fixed. [13]
Changes later this week
- You can soon use Wikidata to link to pages on the multilingual Wikisource. [14]
- Often editors use a "non-breaking space" to make a gap between two items when reading but still show them together. This can be used to avoid a line break. You will now be able to add new ones via the special character tool in the 2010, 2017, and visual editors. The character will be shown in the visual editor as a space with a grey background. [15][16]
- Wikis use abuse filters to stop bad edits being made. Filter maintainers can now use syntax like
1.2.3.4 - 1.2.3.55
as well as the1.2.3.4/27
syntax for IP ranges. [17] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 February. It will be on all wikis from 4 February (calendar).
Future changes
- Minerva is the skin Wikimedia wikis use for mobile traffic. When a page is protected and you can't edit it you can normally read the source wikicode. This doesn't work on Minerva on mobile devices. This is being fixed. Some text might overlap. This is because your community needs to update MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext to work on mobile. You can read more. [18][19]
- Cloud VPS and Toolforge will change the IP address they use to contact the wikis. The new IP address will be
185.15.56.1
. This will happen on February 8. You can read more.

- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Abstract Wikipedia presents prototypes of two tools that could help people to visualize, exemplify, and better guide our understanding of the coverage of lexicographic data in Wikidata.
- Public Domain Tool, developed by the Flemish Institute for Archives automates the process of determining whether their collection items could be in the public domain.
- Sizes of country items (like "Portugal" (Q45)) were recently reduced by 30% to 50% by moving a few economics properties to "economy of"-items (sample: "economy of Portugal" (Q1649355)). The item "economy of Portugal" is currently larger than "Portugal". This can simplify uses of country items that previously timed-out. Infoboxes can still access the properties with the link through "economy of topic" (P8744).
- Later this week, the development team will enable a rate limit for assigning new item IDs. Bots and users who successfully create items should notice no change, since the rate limit is equal to the existing limit on all edits. However, bots that often fail to create items may start to see different error messages than usual. This will hopefully reduce the problem of skipped item IDs.

Problems
- There were problems with recent versions of MediaWiki. Because the updates caused problems the developers rolled back to an earlier version. Some updates and new functions will come later than planned. [27][28]
- Some services will not work for a short period of time from 07:00 UTC on 17 February. There might be problems with new short links, new translations, new notifications, adding new items to your reading lists or recording email bounces. This is because of database maintenance. [29]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 February. It will be on all wikis from 18 February (calendar).

Münsterland-Stammtisch am Samstag, 13. Februar 2021, bei Euch zuhause und virtuell im LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur
Einladung
Hallo Olaf Kosinsky,
am Samstag, 13. Februar 2021, möchten wir dich herzlich zu unserem nächsten Münsterland-Stammtisch einladen.
Da uns Corona noch fest im Griff hat nur virtuell.
Das LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur hatte geplant, vom 9. Oktober 2020 bis zum 14. Februar 2021 die Ausstellung Passion Leidenschaft – Die Kunst der großen Gefühle zu präsentieren.
Die meiste Zeit musste sie leider für das Publikum geschlossen bleiben. Im Rahmen der Möglichkeiten hat das Museum viele Angebote der digitalen Präsentation ausprobiert. Dazu gehört auch das Angebot von Live-Zoom-Führungen durch die Ausstellung. Das heißt, wie in einer persönlichen Führung kann der/die KunstvermittlerIn direkt auf Besucherrückfragen eingehen. Es ist also nicht nur ein passiver Genuss.
Die Kosten für eine solche Führung für uns werden von WMDE gesponsert.
Im Anschluss können wir uns in einem weiteren, von WMDE bereitgestellten virtuellen Raum zum persönlichen Austausch teffen. Die Technik wird es uns ermöglichen, uns am großen Tisch zu versammeln, aber auch mit einzelnen BenutzerInnen in eine virtuelle Raucherecke, an einen Nebentisch, in ein Nebenzimmer, oder alleine auf ein stilles Örtchen zu gehen. Wie auf einem richtigen Stammtisch kann man sich also auch zu verschiedenen Themen, mit unterschiedlichen Menschen austauschen.
Die Zugangscodes erhaltet Ihr in einer persönlichen Mail, wenn Ihr Euch rechtzeitig auf der Stammtischseite eintragt. (Die gilt auch als Schutz der Veranstaltung vor möglichen ZOOM-Crashern. Teilt den Zugangscode deshalb nicht in öffentlichen Foren).
Treffpunkt: Einladungslink nach Anmeldung Uhrzeit: 17:15 Uhr (bitte orientiert Euch an den Zeiten der Veranstaltungsseite. Möglicherweise wird der WMDE-Chatraum schon früher geöffnet) 17:30 Uhr pünktlich Beginn der Führung durch die Ausstellung
- Bis zum 13. Februar!

Hallo Olaf Kosinsky!
Die von dir angelegte Seite Felix Meinhardt wurde zum Löschen vorgeschlagen. Gemäß den Löschregeln wird über die Löschung mindestens sieben Tage diskutiert und danach entschieden.
Du bist herzlich eingeladen, dich an der Löschdiskussion zu beteiligen. Wenn du möchtest, dass der Artikel behalten wird, kannst du dort die Argumente, die für eine Löschung sprechen, entkräften, indem du dich beispielsweise zur enzyklopädischen Relevanz des Artikels äußerst. Du kannst auch während der Löschdiskussion Artikelverbesserungen vornehmen, die die Relevanz besser erkennen lassen und die Mindestqualität sichern.
Da bei Wikipedia jeder Löschanträge stellen darf, sind manche Löschanträge auch offensichtlich unbegründet; solche Anträge kannst du ignorieren.
Vielleicht fühlst du dich durch den Löschantrag vor den Kopf gestoßen, weil durch den Antrag die Arbeit, die du in den Artikel gesteckt hast, nicht gewürdigt wird. Sei tapfer und bleibe dennoch freundlich. Der andere meint es vermutlich auch gut.
Grüße, Xqbot (Diskussion) 12:02, 4. Mär. 2021 (CET) (Diese Nachricht wurde automatisch durch einen Bot erstellt. Wenn du zukünftig von diesem Bot nicht mehr über Löschanträge informiert werden möchtest, trag dich hier ein.)

- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 March. It will be on all wikis from 11 March (calendar).
- The New Discussion tool will soon be a new discussion tools beta feature for on most Wikipedias. The goal is to make it easier to start new discussions. [40]
Future changes
- There will be a number of changes to make it easier to work with templates. Some will come to the first wikis in March. Other changes will come to the first wikis in June. This is both for those who use templates and those who create or maintain them. You can read more.
- Reference Previews will become a default feature on some wikis on 17 March. They will share a setting with Page Previews. If you prefer the Reference Tooltips or Navigation-Popups gadget you can keep using them. If so Reference Previews won't be shown. [41][42]
- New JavaScript-based functions will not work in Internet Explorer 11. This is because Internet Explorer is an old browser that doesn't work with how JavaScript is written today. Everything that works in Internet Explorer 11 today will continue working in Internet Explorer for now. You can read more.

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
- Wikis that are part of the desktop improvements project can now use a new search function. The desktop improvements and the new search will come to more wikis later. You can also test it early.
- Editors who put up banners or change site-wide JavaScript code should use the client error graph to see that their changes has not caused problems. You can read more. [43]
Problems
- Due to database issues the Wikimedia Beta Cluster was read-only for over a day.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 March. It will be on all wikis from 18 March (calendar).
Future changes
- You can add a newline or carriage return character to a custom signature if you use a template. There is a proposal to not allow them in the future. This is because they can cause formatting problems. [44][45]
- You will be able to read but not edit 12 wikis for a short period of time on 23 March at 06:00 (UTC). This could take 30 minutes but will probably be much faster.
- You can use Quarry for SQL queries to the Wiki Replicas. Cross-database
JOINS
will no longer work from 23 March. There will be a new field to specify the database to connect to. If you think this affects you and you need help you can post on Phabricator or on Wikitech. PAWS and other ways to do SQL queries to the Wiki Replicas will be affected later. [46]

Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
Letzte Änderungen
- There is a Wikipedia app for KaiOS phones. They don't have a touch screen so readers navigate with the phone keys. There is now a simulator so you can see what it looks like.
- The reply tool and new discussion tool are now available as the "Diskussions-Werkzeuge" beta feature in almost all wikis except German Wikipedia.
Probleme
- You will be able to read but not edit twelve wikis for a short period of time on 23 März at 06:00 (UTC). This can also affect password changes, logging in to new wikis, global renames and changing or confirming emails. This could take 30 minutes but will probably be much faster.
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 23 März verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias ab 24 März. Auf allen Wikis ab 25 März (Kalender).
- Die für das Syntax-Highlighting genutzten Farben werden geändert, damit sie besser zu erkennen sind. Diese Veränderung wird bald in den ersten Wikis erfolgen. [47]
Zukünftige Änderungen
- Flagged revisions will no longer have multiple tags like "tone" or "depth". It will also only have one tier. This was changed because very few wikis used these features and they make the tool difficult to maintain. [48][49]
- Gadgets and user scripts can access variables about the current page in JavaScript. In 2015 this was moved from
wg*
tomw.config
.wg*
will soon no longer work. [50]

Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
Letzte Änderungen
- Some very old web browsers don’t work well with the Wikimedia wikis. Some old code for browsers that used to be supported is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. [52]
- IRC recent changes feeds have been moved to a new server. Make sure all tools automatically reconnect to
irc.wikimedia.org
and not to the name of any specific server. Users should also consider switching to the more modern EventStreams. [53]
Probleme
- When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split. It might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. [54]

Letzte Änderungen
- Editors can collapse part of an article so you have to click on it to see it. When you click a link to a section inside collapsed content it will now expand to show the section. The browser will scroll down to the section. Previously such links didn't work unless you manually expanded the content first. [57]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- The citoid API will use for example
2010-12-XX
instead of2010-12
for dates with a month but no days. This is because2010-12
could be confused with2010-2012
instead ofDecember 2010
. This is called level 1 instead of level 0 in the Extended Date/Time Format. [58] - Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 6 April verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias ab 7 April. Auf allen Wikis ab 8 April (Kalender).
Zukünftige Änderungen
- PAWS can now connect to the new Wiki Replicas. Cross-database
JOINS
will no longer work from 28 April. There is a new way to connect to the databases. Until 28 April both ways to connect to the databases will work. If you think this affects you and you need help you can post on Phabricator or on Wikitech.

Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
Letzte Änderungen
- Email to the Wikimedia wikis are handled by groups of Wikimedia editors. These volunteer response teams now use Znuny instead of OTRS. The functions and interface remain the same. The volunteer administrators will give more details about the next steps soon. [60][61]
- If you use syntax highlighting, you can see line numbers in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors when editing templates. This is to make it easier to see line breaks or talk about specific lines. Line numbers will soon come to all namespaces. [62][63][64]
- Because of a technical change there could be problems with gadgets and scripts that have an edit summary area that looks similar to this one. If they look strange they should use
mw.loader.using('mediawiki.action.edit.styles')
to go back to how they looked before. [65] - The latest version of MediaWiki came to the Wikimedia wikis last week. There was no Tech News issue last week.
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

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
- Twinkle is a gadget on English Wikipedia. It can help with maintenance and patrolling. It can now be used on other wikis. You can get Twinkle on your wiki using the twinkle-starter GitHub repository.
Problems
- The content translation tool did not work for many articles for a little while. This was because of a bug. [69]
- Some things will not work for about a minute on 5 May. This will happen around 06:00 UTC. This will affect the content translation tool and notifications among other things. This is because of an upgrade to avoid crashes. [70]
Changes later this week
- Reference Previews will become a default feature on a number of wikis on 5 May. This is later than planned because of some changes. You can use it without using Page Previews if you want to. The earlier plan was to have the preference to use both or none. [71][72]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 May. It will be on all wikis from 6 May (calendar).
Future changes
- The CSS classes
.error
,.warning
and.success
do not work for mobile readers if they have not been specifically defined on your wiki. From June they will not work for desktop readers. This can affect gadgets and templates. The classes can be defined in MediaWiki:Common.css or template styles instead. [73]

Hallo Olaf Kosinsky!
Die von dir stark überarbeitete Seite Wolf-Erich-Kellner-Gedächtnisstiftung wurde zum Löschen vorgeschlagen. Gemäß den Löschregeln wird über die Löschung mindestens sieben Tage diskutiert und danach entschieden.
Du bist herzlich eingeladen, dich an der Löschdiskussion zu beteiligen. Wenn du möchtest, dass der Artikel behalten wird, kannst du dort die Argumente, die für eine Löschung sprechen, entkräften, indem du dich beispielsweise zur enzyklopädischen Relevanz des Artikels äußerst. Du kannst auch während der Löschdiskussion Artikelverbesserungen vornehmen, die die Relevanz besser erkennen lassen und die Mindestqualität sichern.
Da bei Wikipedia jeder Löschanträge stellen darf, sind manche Löschanträge auch offensichtlich unbegründet; solche Anträge kannst du ignorieren.
Vielleicht fühlst du dich durch den Löschantrag vor den Kopf gestoßen, weil durch den Antrag die Arbeit, die du in den Artikel gesteckt hast, nicht gewürdigt wird. Sei tapfer und bleibe dennoch freundlich. Der andere meint es vermutlich auch gut.
Grüße, Xqbot (Diskussion) 14:24, 14. Mai 2021 (CEST) (Diese Nachricht wurde automatisch durch einen Bot erstellt. Wenn du zukünftig von diesem Bot nicht mehr über Löschanträge informiert werden möchtest, trag dich hier ein.)

- Im Reply-Tool gibt es eine neue Symbolleiste für den Wikitext-Mode. Man kann sie in den persönlichen Einstellungen aktivieren. [74] [75] [76]
- Die Wikimedia-Mailinglisten wurden auf die neuere Version Mailman 3 migriert. Damit die Zeichenkodierung funktioniert, wird sie von
UTF-8
aufutf8mb3
umgestellt. [77][78] - In einer früheren Ausgabe der Tech News war die Rede davon, dass die citoid -API Daten, die den Monat, aber nicht den Tag enthalten, anders behandeln werde. Das ist bis auf weiteres zurückgestellt worden, weil es sich auf verschiedenen Wikis ganz unterschiedlich auswirkte. [79]

Hallo Olaf! Im Rahmen des Bundestagsprojekts 2020 hatte ich auch mit diesem Herrn und seinem Artikel zu tun. Wie kam dieser Edit zustande? --Gnom (Diskussion) Wikipedia grün machen! 14:01, 19. Mai 2021 (CEST)
- @Gnom: Weil ich als ehemaliger Thüringer mit dem Büro Kontakt hatte, da es zunächst um Fotos ging.Olaf Kosinsky (Diskussion) 14:05, 19. Mai 2021 (CEST)
- Okay, dann ist meine Vermutung wohl richtig, dass die Texte zumindest zum Teil aus der Feder von Schipanskis Büro stammen, richtig? --Gnom (Diskussion) Wikipedia grün machen! 14:09, 19. Mai 2021 (CEST)
- @Gnom: Wie in allen Fällen, die ich im Rahmen der über 40 Parlamentsprojekte erlebt habe, bekomme ich Anregungen, Hinweise, Links auf Änderungen bzw. Erweiterungen aus den Abgeordnetenbüros, die ich manchmal umsetze und in den meisten Fällen nicht. In diesem Fall hatte mir das Büro etwas erarbeitet, dass ich gerne als Arbeitsgrundlage genommen habe. Olaf Kosinsky (Diskussion) 14:40, 19. Mai 2021 (CEST)
- Okay, und in welchem Zusammenhang steht der Edit mit deiner beruflichen Tätigkeit? --Gnom (Diskussion) Wikipedia grün machen! 15:13, 19. Mai 2021 (CEST)
- @Gnom: Kannst Du mir den Sinn dieser Frage erläutern? Olaf Kosinsky (Diskussion) 15:15, 19. Mai 2021 (CEST)
- Ich grübele über die Frage, wie wir die vorliegenden Interessenkonflikte (sowohl deine als auch die des beteiligten Abgeordneten) transparent machen können, denn aktuell sind sie für niemanden erkennbar. --Gnom (Diskussion) Wikipedia grün machen! 15:29, 19. Mai 2021 (CEST)

- Nichts für ungut, aber nach diesem Vorfall bin ich da doch sehr penibel. Den Edit hätte ich auch von jedem anderen Nutzer zurückgesetzt. @Olaf, ich war über deine Änderung und die Begründung hier doch sehr verwundert. Bei Diskussionsbedarf kann gerne die Artikel-Disk aufgesucht werden. Grüße --EH⁴² (Diskussion) 10:36, 22. Mai 2021 (CEST)

Letzte Änderungen
- Die Wikimedia-Projekte nutzten lange IRC über das Freenode-Netzwerk. Es gab Änderungen in Bezug darauf, wer die Kontrolle über das Netzwerk hat. Die Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts hat entschieden in das neue Libera Chat-Netzwerk zu wechseln. Dies ist keine formale Entscheidung für die Wikimedia-Projekte alle Channel umzuiehen, aber die meisten IRC-Channel werden Freenode wohl verlassen. Es gibt einen Migrationsleitfaden und eine andauernde Discussion über diesen Vorgang.

Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 8 Juni verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias ab 9 Juni. Auf allen Wikis ab 10 Juni (Kalender).
Zukünftige Änderungen
- The Wikimedia movement uses Phabricator for technical tasks. This is where we collect technical suggestions, bugs and what developers are working on. The company behind Phabricator will stop working on it. This will not change anything for the Wikimedia movement now. It could lead to changes in the future. [84][85][86]
- Searching on Wikipedia will find more results in some languages. This is mainly true for when those who search do not use the correct diacritics because they are not seen as necessary in that language. For example searching for
Bedusz
doesn't findBędusz
on German Wikipedia. The characterę
isn't used in German so many would writee
instead. This will work better in the future in some languages. [87] - The CSRF token parameters in the action API were changed in 2014. The old parameters from before 2014 will stop working soon. This can affect bots, gadgets and user scripts that still use the old parameters. [88][89]

Mögliche Urheberrechtsverletzung in Wilfried Rosendahl
Hallo, schön, dass Du Dich an der Wikipedia beteiligen möchtest. Bitte beachte jedoch, dass auch hier das Urheberrecht beachtet werden muss. Fremde Texte dürfen also nicht einfach hierherkopiert werden.
Konkret meine ich diesen Artikel, der allem Anschein nach teilweise oder komplett von hier kopiert wurde.
Wenn Du die Urheberrechte an diesem Text besitzt, schicke uns bitte eine Bestätigung per E-Mail. Dazu kannst Du diese Textvorlage verwenden. Die Bestätigung muss an permissions-de@wikimedia.org gesendet werden.
Es ist leider nicht offensichtlich, ob hiesige Benutzer die fremden Texte benutzen dürfen oder nicht. Dies ist nicht als Schikane gegen Dich gedacht, sondern soll dem Schutz geistigen Eigentums – im Falle Deiner eigenen Texte also dem Schutz Deines Eigentums (!) – dienen. In der Vergangenheit wurden uns leider des Öfteren fremde Texte „untergejubelt“, welche danach aufwendig gesucht und gelöscht werden mussten. Dies möchten wir verhindern.
Solltest Du eine solche Erklärung nicht abgeben, wird der Text als Urheberrechtsverletzung gewertet und gelöscht.
Übrigens: Sollte Dir ein Fehler passiert sein, ist das nicht so schlimm, das passiert vielen. Deshalb empfehlen wir für Neulinge eine kleine Einführung mit ein paar nützlichen Hinweisen.
Grüße, CaroFraTyskland (Diskussion) 19:04, 12. Jun. 2021 (CEST)
- Bitte die Hinweise an Neulinge ignorieren, ist halt ein Baustein. Wenn ich was übersehen habe, dann auch Bescheid gegen. Solltest du keine Rechte am Text haben, dann kann der entsprechende Text natürlich auch in eigenen Worten wiedergegeben werden. Dann würden nur die alten Versionen versteckt. MfG --CaroFraTyskland (Diskussion) 19:04, 12. Jun. 2021 (CEST)

Letzte Änderungen
- Angemeldete Benutzer der mobilen Website können in den erweiterten mobilen Modus wechseln. Darin werden Kategorien ähnlich wie in der Standardansicht für den Desktop angezeigt. Helferlein, die bisher nur für Desktop-Benutzer verfügbar waren, können nun auch für die mobile Ansicht bereitgestellt werden. Wenn es in eurem Wiki solche Helferlein geben sollte, könnten sie für die mobile Ansicht freigegeben werden, wenn ihr das wollt. Einige müssen wahrscheinlich an die mobile Version angepasst werden. [90]
- Sprachlinks auf Wikidata funktionieren jetzt auch für die mehrsprachige Wikisource. [91]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Diese Woche gibt es keine neue MediaWiki-Version.
Künftige Änderungen
- Zukünftig werden wir die IP-Adresse von nicht angemeldeten Benutzern nicht mehr in der Versionsgeschichte für jeden sichtbar anzeigen. Wir werden sie "maskieren". Dafür gibt es rechtliche Gründe. Es gibt einen groben Entwurf, wie die Anzeige der IP-Adressen für diejenigen, die sie auch weiterhin sehen müssen, funktionieren könnte.
- Die deutschsprachige Wikipedia, die englische Wikivoyage und 29 kleine Wikis können voraussichtlich am 22. Juni zwischen 5:00 und 5:30 Uhr UTC (7:00 bis 7:30 Uhr Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit) nicht bearbeitet werden. [92]
- In der Woche ab dem 28. Juni können alle Wikis für einige Minuten nicht bearbeitet werden. Näheres demnächst an dieser Stelle und auf den Nachrichtenseiten in den einzelnen Wikis. [93][94]

- Since the beginning of the month, phabricator tickets about language codes (and names of languages) were reviewed and triaged to better reflect their content and current status. Some work was done to better identify the steps for such changes, highlight and address bottlenecks and system issues. Patches for a few codes were contributed and are being released. Phabricator "Language codes" workboard provides an overview, phab:T284856 attempts to identify maintenance steps and phab:T284276 determine turn-around times. phab:T284808 should finally close a gap in termbox language handeling. A way to better address some or all aspects of changes of language codes applicable to Wikipedia editions still needs to be found. Don't hesitate to request the addition or update of language names (e.g. the name of Dutch in Danish) or missing language codes, notably for monolingual strings (see Help:Monolingual text languages).

Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
Tech-News
- Die nächste Ausgabe der Tech-News wird es am 19. Juli 2021 geben.
Letzte Änderungen
- AutoWikiBrowser is a tool to make repetitive tasks easier. It now uses JSON.
Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage
has moved toWikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON
andWikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Config
.Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version
has moved toWikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/VersionJSON
. The tool will eventually be configured on the wiki so that you don't have to wait until the new version to add templates or regular expression fixes. [104]
Probleme
- InternetArchiveBot helps saving online sources on some wikis. It adds them to Wayback Machine and links to them there. This is so they don't disappear if the page that was linked to is removed. It currently has a problem with linking to the wrong date when it moves pages from
archive.is
toweb.archive.org
. [105]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- The tool to find, add and remove templates will be updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It will come to the first wikis on 7 July. It will come to more wikis later this year. [106][107]
- Diese Woche wird es keine neue MediaWiki-Version geben.
Zukünftige Änderungen
- Some Wikimedia wikis use Flagged Revisions or pending changes. It hides edits from new and unregistered accounts for readers until they have been patrolled. The auto review action in Flagged Revisions will no longer be logged. All old logs of auto-review will be removed. This is because it creates a lot of logs that are not very useful. [108]

Projektneuheiten:
- Für Jedermann
- (Softwareneuheit) Im VisualEditor, dem Wikitext Editor 2017 und dem Wikitext Editor 2010 liefert die verbesserte Suchfunktion des Vorlagenassistenten in Kürze nicht nur Treffer mit dem gleichen Anfangswort, sondern alle relevanten Vorlagen, die den eingegebenen Begriff im Titel enthalten. (Task 284553, Projektseite Technische Wünsche)
- (Softwareneuheit) Mit dem neuen „Zurück“-Button im Vorlagenassistenten im VisualEditor wird es möglich, nach dem Auswählen einer Vorlage wieder zu der Vorlagensuche zurückzukehren und die Suche erneut auszuführen, ohne, wie bisher, den Dialog vollständig schließen zu müssen. (Task 284553, Projektseite Technische Wünsche)
- (Softwareneuheit) Wenn im Vorlagenassistenten im VisualEditor Daten in eine ausgewählte Vorlage eingegeben wurden und dann der Zurück-Button betätigt wird, erscheint nun eine Warnung, die dem Verlorengehen der eingegebenen Daten vorbeugen soll. (Task 284553, Projektseite Technische Wünsche)
- (Softwareneuheit) Im VisualEditor erscheint beim Anklicken einer Vorlage neben dem „Bearbeiten“ eine neue „Löschen“-Option im Menü, um Vorlagen von einer Seite leichter zu entfernen. (Task 284553, Projektseite Technische Wünsche)
- Für Programmierer
„We'd like to inform you of a change coming in how media is structured in the parser's HTML output. […] but we don't expect to see many rendering differences since we've done some [extensive visual diff testing][6]. Templates won't be impacted; the old CSS styles will remain, for now. However, where we do expect work is needed is with code interacting with the page, be it user scripts, gadgets, extensions, bots, or other things. […]“
- Für Jedermann
- (Softwareneuheit) In den persönlichen Einstellungen für das Aussehen steht die neue Option „Responsiven Modus aktivieren“ zur Verfügung. Damit wird für manche Skins der verfügbare Viewport-Bereich angepasst (Task 285402, Gerrit:701978).
- Für Programmierer
- (API) ApiQueryInfo: add `associatedpage` prop (Task 257014, Gerrit:698666).

Nachfolgend die neuesten Technik-Nachrichten aus der Wikimedia Technik-Community. Bitte gibt sie an andere Benutzer weiter. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich unmittelbar betreffen. Es gibt Übersetzungen.
Letzte Änderungen
- Das Tool zum suchen, ergänzen und entfernen von Vorlagen wurde aktualisiert. Dadurch soll es einfacher werden, passende Vorlagen zu finden. Es sollte am 7. Juli auf den ersten Wikis freigegeben werden, kommt nun aber erst am 12. Juli heraus. Die Freigabe auf anderen Wikis wird später folgen. [110][111]
- Special:UnconnectedPages gibt eine Liste von Seiten aus, die bisher nicht mit Wikidata-Einträgen verknüpft worden sind, damit man dem leichter abhelfen kann. Es gibt aber Seiten, die nicht mit Wikidata verknüpft werden sollten. In solchen Fällen kann man jetzt das magic word
__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__
auf solchen Seiten einsetzen, die nicht auf der Spezialseite ausgegeben werden sollen. [112]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 20 Juli verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 21 Juli. Auf allen Wikis ab 22 Juli (Kalender).
Zukünftige Änderungen
- Die HTML-Ausgabe des Parsers wird demnächst geändert. Das kann sich auf Bots, Helferlein, User-Skripte und Erweiterungen auswirken. Hier kannst du dazu mehr erfahren. Tests sind möglich im Testwiki oder im Testwiki 2.
- Die Parameter, mit denen man Tokens über die MediaWiki-API erhalten kann, wurden im Jahr 2014 geändert. Die alte Variante wird ab dem 1. September 2021 nicht mehr funktionieren. Skripte, Bots und Tools, die noch die alten Parameter aus der Zeit vor der Änderung 2014 verwenden, müssen aktualisiert werden. Hier kannst du dazu mehr erfahren.

Vielen Dank für deine Änderung. Im ursprünglichen Artikel, den ich mir ausgedruckt hatte und es so noch nachvollziehen kann, stand es genau umbekehrt: "Die BND-Satelliten sollen auch aus Uedem geführt werden". Da hat die Welt den Artikel wohl klammheimlich geändert (um einen Fehler zu korrigieren?). Siehe auch hier: Webarchive--Asperatus (Diskussion) 14:22, 25. Jul. 2021 (CEST)

Ungültige Stimme im Meinungsbild "Infoboxen in Personenartikeln"
Hallo Benutzer:Olaf Kosinsky, ein Hinweis meinerseits, da du deine Signatur im Abschnitt der für ungültig erklärten Stimmen auftaucht: Aufgrund von irgendwelchen Formalitäten bzgl. Stimmababgabe bei bereits archivierten Meinungsbildern, ist es offenbar nötig, dass du deine Untersützerstimme im Meinungsbild "Infoboxen in Personenartikeln" (Wikipedia:Meinungsbilder/Infoboxen in Personenartikeln#Initiatoren_und_Unterstützer) erneut abgibst, damit diese auch wirklich gezählt wird.

Projektneuheiten:
- Für Programmierer
- (API) On September 1 we will remove deprecated parameters that were used to obtain tokens in MediaWiki API. If your script/tool/bot or gadget was using these deprecated parameters, it will break unless you migrate it. MediaWiki Action API clients (tool, scripts and bots that make calls to /w/api.php) sometimes need to obtain a token before making a write operation. Before MediaWiki 1.24 (November 2014) these tokens were obtained by using `token` property in various action api endpoints.

Nachfolgend die neuesten Technik-Nachrichten aus der Wikimedia Technik-Community. Bitte gibt sie an andere Benutzer weiter. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich unmittelbar betreffen. Es gibt Übersetzungen.
Letzte Änderungen
- If your wiki uses markup like
<div class="mw-content-ltr">
or<div class="mw-content-rtl">
without the requireddir
attribute, then these will no longer work in 2 weeks. There is a short-term fix that can be added to your local wiki's Common.css page, which is explained at T287701. From now on, all usages should include the full attributes, for example:<div class="mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr" lang="en">
or<div class="mw-content-rtl" dir="rtl" lang="he">
. This also applies to some other HTML tags, such asspan
orcode
. You can find existing examples on your wiki that need to be updated, using the instructions at T287701. - Erinnerung: Wikimedia ist aus dem alten Freenode-Netzwerk in das Libera Chat IRC-Netzwerk gewechselt. Lokale Dokumentation sollte aktualisiert werden.
Probleme
- Last week, all wikis had slow access or no access for 30 minutes. There was a problem with generating dynamic lists of articles on the Russian Wikinews, due to the bulk import of 200,000+ new articles over 3 days, which led to database problems. The problematic feature has been disabled on that wiki and developers are discussing if it can be fixed properly. [114][115]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- When adding links to a page using VisualEditor or the 2017 wikitext editor, disambiguation pages will now only appear at the bottom of search results. This is because users do not often want to link to disambiguation pages. [116]
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf den Testwikis und MediaWiki.org ab 3 August verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias ab 4 August. Auf allen Wikis ab 5 August (Kalender).
Zukünftige Änderungen
- The team of the Wikipedia app for Android is working on communication in the app. The developers are working on how to talk to other editors and get notifications. You can read more. They are looking for users who want to test the plans. Any editor who has an Android phone and is willing to download the app can do this.
- The Beta Feature for Diskussions-Werkzeuge will be updated in the coming weeks. You will be able to subscribe to individual sections on a talk page at more wikis. You can test this now by adding
?dtenable=1
to the end of the talk page's URL (example).

Letzte Änderungen
- Sprachlinks können wieder in der Seitenleiste im new Vector-Skin hinzugefügt werden, indem die Seite mit einem Wikidata-Item verbunden wird. Der neue Vector-Skin hat die Sprachlinks bewegt, doch der neue Sprachen-Selektor kann noch keine Sprachlinks hinzufügen. [121]
Probleme
- Es gab ein Problem mit der Erweiterung Translate. Übersetzungen wurden nicht aktualisiert oder mit englischem Text ersetzt. Der Bug ist behoben worden. [122][123][124]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Ein Schlagwort für Revisionen ergänzt bald Bearbeitungen, die Links zu Begriffsklärungsseiten einbinden, weil diese Links normalerweise versehentlich eingebunden werden. Der Tag wird es Bearbeitern ermöglichen, defekte Links leichter zu finden und zu reparieren. Wenn dein Wiki dieses Feature nicht mag, kann es auch versteckt werden. [125]
- Would you like to help improve the information about tools? Would you like to attend or help organize a small virtual meetup for your community to discuss the list of tools? Please get in touch on the Toolhub Quality Signal Sessions talk page. We are also looking for feedback from tool maintainers on some specific questions.
- In the past, edits to any page in your user talk space ignored your mute list, e.g. sub-pages. Starting this week, this is only true for edits to your talk page. [126]
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 17 August verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 18 August. Auf allen Wikis ab 19 August (Kalender).
