Tech News: 2024-15

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

  • Web browsers can use tools called extensions. There is now a Chrome extension called Citation Needed which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
  • A new Edit Recovery feature has been added to all wikis, available as a user preference. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the project talk page. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.
  • Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [1][2]
  • Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [3]

Changes later this week

  • 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). [4][5]
  • New accounts and logged-out users will get the visual editor as their default editor on mobile. This deployment is made at all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. [6]

TFL notification

Hi, MPGuy2824. I'm just posting to let you know that List of constituencies of the Tripura Legislative Assembly – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for May 13. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 21:39, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Problems

  • Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [7][8]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [9][10]
  • Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [11]
  • A new variable page_last_edit_age will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [12]

Future changes

  • Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
  • Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filter and abuse_filter_history tables. Some queries might need to be updated. [13]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, MPGuy2824. Thank you for your work on Mexicans in Oklahoma. North8000, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

IMO this "intersection topic" is not wp:notable per se. (no GNG source coverage) Looks like a good paragraph of material for an article somewhere; suggest merging into another article.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|North8000}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Future changes

  • This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of Special:MyPage/vector.js to Special:MyPage/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [17]

Draft: List of siblings of presidents of the United States

I and JimmyCarterLover1 have finished a large chunk of this draft (I am aware that you know of said draft because you were responsible for converting the initial page into one). However, it would be suitable to have help from other editors considering the collaborative nature of Wikipedia. I also anticipate work on this draft stalling without the support of more people as one person cannot simply draft an entire article by themselves (and, not to discount the contributions of JimmyCarterLover1, I feel as if this draft has turned into my personal project because I have been responsible for so much of it). In short: help is needed, and I encourage you to help us with this. ApplePieGuy95 (talk) 00:10, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of this list isn't a particular interest of mine, but looking at the draft, I'd suggest the following:
  1. Write up a two-three sentence lead paragraph for the list. Find and add enough references that talk about the list as a whole and not just individual people in the list. Read and make sure that the list meets WP:NLIST. Do this before improving other aspects of the draft.
  2. Merge the individual tables for each president into one large table.
  3. Many of the entries in the "Notes" cell can be made into notes that will be shown at the end of the list. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:59, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
