Letzte Änderungen

A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them has been enabled for the following 10 wikis: mediawiki.org, the Italian, Catalan, Hebrew and Vietnamese Wikipedias, French Wikisource, and English Wikivoygage, Wikibooks, Wiktionary and Wikinews. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist on those wikis you can let the developers know.

Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche

Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf den Testwikis und MediaWiki.org ab 5 Oktober verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias ab 6 Oktober. Auf allen Wikis ab 7 Oktober (Kalender).
Some gadgets and bots that use the API to read the AbuseFilter log might break. The hidden property will no longer say an entry is implicit for unsuppressed log entries about suppressed edits. If your bot needs to know this, do a separate revision query. Additionally, the property will have the value false for visible entries; previously, it wasn't included in the response. [1]
A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them will be enabled for all production wikis. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist you can let the developers know.

Zukünftige Änderungen

You can soon get cross-wiki notifications in the iOS Wikipedia app. You can also get notifications as push notifications. More notification updates will follow in later versions. [2]
Die JavaScript-Variablen wgExtraSignatureNamespaces, wgLegalTitleChars und wgIllegalFileChars werden bald aus mw.config entfernt werden. Sie gehören nicht zu den "stabilen" Variablen, die für die Verwendung in MediaWiki-JavaScript zur Verfügung stehen. [3]
Die JavaScript-Variablen wgCookiePrefix, wgCookieDomain, wgCookiePath und wgCookieExpiration werden bald aus mw.config entfernt. Scripte sollen stattdessen mw.cookie aus dem Modul "mediawiki.cookie" nutzen. [4]
