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 "Bearbeitungsfilter" 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 "Drosseln" 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.

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 18:54, 14. Jan. 2019 (CET)
PD-Wartung 155
nachdem niemand bisher fragte, frage ich: was genau ist das? warum wird es durchgeführt? das wörtchen "am" könnte man meiner meinung nach auch belassen und muss nicht weg. danke für informationen. Donna Gedenk
- Es geht um die Artikel, die unter [12] auftauchen. Bei den meisten Einträgen geht es um das fehlende Semikolon zwischen Geburtsdatum und Sterbedatum. Die Version mit am ist nicht in den Ausnahmen eingetragen, da es keine sonders gebräuchliche Form ist und es meiner Meinung nach keinen Vorteil gegenüber den anderen Formen bietet. --Gruß Tidoni (Diskussion) 07:14, 19.

Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Community. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
technische Neuigkeiten
- Einige Abonnenten haben die technischen Neuigkeiten in der vergangenen Woche nicht erhalten. Grund war ein Problem mit MassMessage. Wenn du die letzte Ausgabe verpasst hast, kannst du sie auf Meta lesen. [13]
Letzte Änderungen
- Das Inhaltsübersetzungstool kann von Benutzern, die das Beta-Feature aktiviert haben, jetzt als Version 2 benutzt werden. Zum Beispiel fügt es die Kategorie
Wikipedia:Seite mit ungeprüften Übersetzungen
zu Übersetzungen hinzu, die computergenerierte Übersetzung benutzt haben könnten, ohne die Probleme zu beheben. Dies ist dazu da, damit andere diese finden können. Du kannst diese Kategorie auf Wikipedias unterSpecial:TrackingCategories
finden. - https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org kann jetzt Sammlungen von bis zu 800 Seiten zu PDF, EPUB or ODT umwandeln. Vorher war diese Funktion auf 200 Seiten beschränkt.
Probleme
- Wenn eine Vorlage mit VisualEditor bearbeitet wurde, wurden manchmal alle Informationen in eine einzelne Zeile geschrieben. Dadurch war es für Autoren, die den Wikitext-Editor benutzen, schwer zu lesen. Außerdem war es schieriger, Unterschiede im Diff zu erkennen. Dieses Problem betrifft Änderungen, die zwischen dem 08. und 17. Januar gemacht wurden, und ist jetzt behoben. [14]
- MassMessage wird benutzt, um Nachrichten auf viele Seiten zu verbreiten. Es hat nicht zuverlässig funktioniert. Einige Nachrichten wurden an alle Benutzer verteilt. [15][16]
- Aufgrund eines Datenbankproblems, das ein sofortiges Eingreifen erforderte, waren die meisten Wikis am 17. Januar für einige Minuten nicht erreichbar. Das Problem ist jetzt behoben. [17]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Es wird möglich sein, Vorlagen-Designs im
Module
Namensraum zu benutzen. [18] - Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 22 Januar verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 23 Januar. Auf allen Wikis ab 24 Januar (Kalender).
Treffen
- Du kannst am Meeting für technische Fragen im IRC teilnehmen. Während des Meetings können ehrenamtliche Entwickler um Hilfe bitten und Fragen stellen. Das Meeting wird 23 Januar um 16 Uhr stattfinden. Wie du teilnehmen kannst.

Talk to us about talking
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
- First, sign up your group here.
- Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
- Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
- When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
- What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
- What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
- What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
- What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
- Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

- 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. [28]
- Some maps didn't work for a while on 8 March. This has been fixed. [29][30]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.
Letzte Änderungen
- Die neue Version des Inhaltsübersetzungswerkzeug wird genutzt für all die neuen Übersetzungen. Die alte Version wird aber weiterhin genutzt für Übersetzungen, die damit angefangen wurden. Die meisten Benutzer werden da keine Änderung sehen. Mehr als 80% der veröffentlichten Übersetungen nutzen bereits die neue Version. [34]
Probleme
- 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. [35]
- The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [36]
- 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. [37]

Danke für die Korrektur - ich war von Beginn an der Meinung, der 7. März sei das Todesdatum, aber es wurde überall anders kommuniziert. Deshalb hatte ich das zunächst so geschrieben. Sie starb am 7., am 8. wurde sie aufgefunden, die Zeitungen schrieben alle den 8. - und da ich keine andere Quelle hatte, musste ich dem folgen. Jetzt hat offenbar der Coroner den 7. März bestätigt [38]. Gruß, -- Nicola - kölsche Europäerin 08:07, 28. Mär. 2019 (CET)

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
- More wikis are now testing visual editor section editing for mobile users. You can read more.
- Admins on French and Polish Wikipedia can block someone from editing a page or a namespace. If your wiki wants to get these blocks before they are available to all wikis, you can tell the developers. [40][41]
Problems
- You will be able read but not edit most wikis for 30 minutes on 11 April at 05:00 (UTC). This is because of a hardware problem. You can see a list of the affected wikis. [42]
- A map update caused some problems on 29 March and 30 March. It was rolled back. [43]
- Pages on some Wikivoyages had problems with the top headline. This has been fixed. [44]
Changes later this week
- When you add an edit summary the VisualEditor will search your recent edit summaries in case you want to re-use one. This works in both the visual and wikitext modes on desktop. It also works on the mobile site. [45]
- The Wikimedia wikis will get a URL shortener. This will work from 11 April. You can read more. [46]
- The
{{REVISIONID}}
magic word will no longer work. This is for performance reasons. When you preview a page it will return""
(empty string). When you read a page it will return"-"
(dash). For now this will only affect content namespaces. [47] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- You will be able to preview references. This means that when you hover over the link you will get a popup that shows you a preview of the reference. It will work much like page previews. This is so you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will now be available as a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia. [48][49]
- The Wikidata JSON output will change. Empty containers will be serialised as empty objects. This is a breaking change that will affect tools that use JSON outputs and APIs. It will happen on 30 April. You can read more and see how to test your code.

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. [71]

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 write all special letters in all African Wikipedia languages. This works in the desktop version. [74]
- 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. [75] - 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. [76][77]
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. [78]
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. [79]
- 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).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 5 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

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
- 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. [80][81]
- The Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standard OOUI icons. There will be additional minor fixes for positioning in the next deployment. [82]
- Bots and other scripts that do not set an identifiable User-Agent may find their requests strictly rate-limited until they identify themselves properly. [83]
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. [84]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Wikidata kann am 10. September ab 05:00 (UTC) für bis zu 30 Minutes gelesen, aber nicht geschrieben werden. [127]
- When you log in, the software checks your password to see if it follows the Password policy. From this week, it will also complain if you are a "privileged user" and your password is too short. If your password is not strong enough, please consider to change your password for a stronger password. [128]
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 10 September verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 11 September. Auf allen Wikis ab 12 September (Kalender).
Treffen
- Du kannst am Treffen für technische Fragen im IRC teilnehmen. Während des Treffens können ehrenamtliche Entwickler um Hilfe bitten und Fragen stellen. Das Treffen wird 11 September um 15 Uhr (UTC) stattfinden. Wie du teilnehmen kannst.
Zukünftige Änderungen
- Soon, the AbuseFilter will recognize new syntax errors. Specifically, it will recognize errors about empty operands. You can see a list of examples in phab:T156096. Any active filter with such an error will stop working; hence, please take a look at the list of affected filters, and fix the ones that you can fix. Note that there is also an ongoing RFC on meta-wiki about the creation of a new abusefilter-manager global group.

Probleme
- Last week's Tech News had delivery problems. Some did not get the newsletter. Some got it more than one time. The developers are working on the problem. [133]
- There was a problem with the new MediaWiki version last week. The new version was paused. [134]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- You will be able to read but not to edit some mid-sized wikis for up to 30 minutes on September 17 at 05:00 (UTC). You can see which wikis. [135]
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 17 September verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 18 September. Auf allen Wikis ab 19 September (Kalender).
Treffen
- Du kannst am Treffen für technische Fragen im IRC teilnehmen. Während des Treffens können ehrenamtliche Entwickler um Hilfe bitten und Fragen stellen. Das Treffen wird 18 September um 15 Uhr (UTC) stattfinden. Wie du teilnehmen kannst.
Zukünftige Änderungen
- Die Wikipedia-App für Android lädt Benutzer dazu ein, kleine Aufgaben zu erledigen. Damit sollen Leser zum Bearbeiten gebracht werden. Wenn die Benutzer zu oft reverted werden, werden die Aufgaben für den Benutzer pausiert oder geblockt. Alle normalen Bearbeitungen sind weiterhin möglich, solange die Community den Benutzer nicht blockt. Die Entwickler wollen wissen, ob dieser Plan sinnvoll erscheint. Du kannst sehen, wie es aussehen könnte und Feedback geben.
- When you look at an old version of a page you get a warning that this is not the newest version. This uses the CSS class
.mw-revision
. It will use the CSS class.warningbox
for styling instead. If your wiki uses templates to change how the warning looks they will have to be updated. This will happen later. If this would cause problems you should tell the developers in the next couple of weeks. [136]

Zukünftige Änderungen
- 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. [165]
- Zukünftig könnten Abschnittsüberschriften ein Teilen-Link haben. Damit soll es einfacher möglich sein auf einen Abschnitt zu verlinken. Du kannst mehr dazu lesen und darüber diskutieren.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- The API sandbox and help pages now show more clearly when API modules are marked as
internal
. API modules marked as internal were probably internal before. It was easier to miss. You should look for non-internal alternatives. [168]
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. [169]
- The history and diffs can show wrong content. This is because of a cache problem. It will soon be fixed. [170]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 October. It will be on all wikis from 24 October (calendar).
- Reference Previews will be a beta feature on all Wikipedias and some Wikivoyages. It shows you a preview of the footnote when you hover over or click on the number. It has been a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia since April.
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 23 October. See how to join.

Name versus Defaultsort (Nr. 186)
Hallo @Tidoni,
mir sind verschiedene PD-Wartungsedits von dir aufgefallen, die mit der Begründung "Name versus Defaultsort (Nr. 186)" vorgenommen wurden und nicht den Richtlinien entsprechen, meist weil du die Zeitschiene nicht beachtet hattest.
Folgende Edits habe ich rückgängig gemacht:
- Thomas Cajetan (ma. Name)
- Ottaviano di Paoli (ma. Name)
- Fuensanta la Moneta (nicht in Vor- und Nachname auftrennbarer Künstlername)
- Beatrix von Este (ma. Name)
- David Saharuni (ma. Name)
- Aubri de Coucy (ma. Name)
Bis auf den Fall der span. Tänzerin handelt es sich um ma. Namen, eine Umstellung in die Form "Aquin, Thomas von" ist da ausgeschlossen (s. Hilfe:PD). Bei Aubri hattest du außerdem auch noch die Reihenfolge der Alternativnamen geändert, offenbar in der Annnahme, es handele sich im eine Zusammenstellung aus Vor- und Nachname. In Wirklichkeit sind das beides Vornamensformen und dazwischen fehlte nur das Semikolon. Bitte achte bei künftigen Wartungen auf diese inhaltlichen Zusammenhänge, bevor du Änderungen vornimmst, vielen Dank für dein Engagement und guten Rutsch!! --Jordi (Diskussion) 11:48, 31. Dez. 2019 (CET)
Nachtrag: Beim Durchstöbern deiner Beiträge sind mir noch einige ältere Beispiele desselben Typs (Nr. 186) aufgefallen, die ich ebfs. gefixt habe:
- Gucci Mane (Künstlername)
- Major Ridge (hist. Übername)
- Marco Sanudo (ma. Name)
- Nicolas de Besse (ma. Name)
- Hugues de la Roche (ma. Name)
Nur zu deiner Info liste ich das hier auch noch auf. Außerdem hattest du noch einige chin. oder asiat. Namen wg. desselben Wartungscodes geändert, die habe ich aber nicht zurückkorrigiert, weil ich mich mit chin. Namen nicht auskenne. Vielleicht schaust du aber auch da nochmal drüber, ob das so stimmt, danke.--Jordi (Diskussion) 16:07, 31. Dez. 2019 (CET)
