Tech News: 2018-49

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

• Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [1]
• Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [2]
• You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [3]
• When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [4][5]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

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 December at 16:00 (UTC) and at 23:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Survey bewerkers Nederlandstalige Wikipedia 2018

Dit jaar organiseert Wikimedia Nederland voor de derde keer een survey onder de bewerkers van de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia. Misschien heb je de banner al voorbij zien komen. Er zijn in 2013 en 2015 soortgelijke surveys gehouden. Doel van de survey is om meningen van de bewerkers te peilen (bijvoorbeeld over de werksfeer) en inzicht te krijgen in de samenstelling van de gemeenschap.

Naar aanleiding van suggesties in De Kroeg benaderen we de meest actieve bewerkers persoonlijk om te vragen mee te doen. We zijn erg geïnteresseerd in je mening. Meedoen kan tot 17 december. Hier vind je de link naar de survey.

Growth team updates #4

Welcome to the fourth newsletter for the new Growth team!  

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

We need your feedback!

We have two requests for community members:

1. Now that data is coming in for the welcome survey, we are planning how to use that data to personalize the newcomer's first day. See our current thoughts here, and join the conversation here.
2. Try out the help panel's interactive prototype, and read about how we're planning to roll it out, and post any thoughts or reactions here.

Two Growth team projects have been deployed (detailed updates here)

• Personalized first day (welcome survey) was deployed on November 20 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias.
  • The survey is now being shown to half of new users (A/B test). Responses are being recorded in the database. We'll report on initial results during December.
  • We are planning to test a second version of the survey, called "Variation C", which we think will maximize the number of users who complete the survey and stay on the wiki.
  • The original objective of this project was to give newcomers the materials they need to achieve their goals, and so now we are currently planning how we will use the information collected in the welcome survey to personalize the newcomer's experience. We hope community members will read our current thinking and join the conversation here. Some of the plans we are considering include:
    • Making it easy for newcomers to see editing activity around the topic areas in which they indicated that they're interested.
    • Connecting interested newcomers to experienced editors.
    • Surfacing the help content most relevant to the reason for which the newcomers created their accounts.

• Understanding first day (EditorJourney) was deployed on November 15 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias. It has been done after a longer security review and final testing than expected. Data is now being recorded for all new users on those wikis, and we've been auditing the data and preparing to make initial reports during December. Stay tuned for the next newsletter!

Help panel is under construction

• Focus on help desk (help panel) is planned to be deployed during the week of January 7 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias.
• This interactive prototype is the best way to see the design and wording in the feature.
• We ran live user tests on the prototype, with results posted here.
• In addition to giving the ability to ask a question, the help panel will also contain a set of links to existing help content. Our ambassadors on Czech and Korean Wikipedias are determining the right initial set of most helpful links in this task.
• We encourage community members to try out the prototype and read about the rules for who will get the feature, and add any thoughts to this discussion.

We are still looking for volunteers

Do you want to participate to our experiments? We are looking for new communities to work with us (especially a new mid-size wiki), and people to become ambassadors to help us to communicate with the different communities. Discover how you can involve yourself or your community.

Also, please share this update with your community and interested people!

Learn more about us

You can visit our team page to find out why our team was formed and how we are thinking about new editors, and our project updates page for detailed updates on the projects we work on.

Tech News: 2018-50

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 December. It will be on all wikis from 13 December (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 12 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• New accounts will need passwords that are at least 8 characters long. Admins, interface admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, CentralNotice admins, global renamers, check users, stewards and some other user groups will need passwords that are at least 10 characters long. This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [6][7]
• When you hover over a footnote it will show you the reference as a pop-up. This is so you don't have to jump down to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will happen in 2019. Some wikis already have gadgets that do this. You will be able to turn it off. [8]

De Sint-Remigiuskerk (Roclenge-sur-Geer)

Beste Mbch331,

Misschien heb ik het niet juist verwoord maar er bestaan momenteel twee aparte doorverwijzingen: De Sint-Remigiuskerk (Roclenge-sur-Geer) en Sint-Remigiuskerk (Roclenge-sur-Geer) en beiden verwijzen door naar Sint-Remigiuskerk (Rukkelingen-aan-de-Jeker). Dat lijkt mij toch een beetje te veel van het goede. Misschien kunt hier eens naar kijken. Alvast hartelijk bedankt.LeonardH (overleg) 16 dec 2018 21:00 (CET)

Het verschil tussen De Sint-Remigiuskerk en Sint-Remigiuskerk is te miniem inderdaad om beide te behouden. Alleen moet je niet van een moderator die een nuwegverzoek afhandelt verwachten dat die dat gaat uitzoeken. Dat is essentiële informatie die je moet vermelden in het sjabloon, zodat de afhandelend moderator dit weet. Mbch331 (Overleg) 16 dec 2018 22:14 (CET)

Mee eens. Ik had het duidelijker moeten verwoorden. Bedankt voor de tip. Aanpassing opnieuw maar nu beter gemotiveerd aangevraagd. Groeten,LeonardH (overleg) 17 dec 2018 03:20 (CET)

De motivatie moet de volgende keer in het nuweg sjabloon zelf. Mbch331 (Overleg) 17 dec 2018 09:22 (CET)

Tech News: 2018-51

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.

Recent changes

• Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [9][10]
• Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [11]
• The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.

Problems

• <ref> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <ref name="adams" group="books">. If a <ref> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [12]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December (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 19 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Foundation Android app team are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can read more about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
• tiles.wmflabs.org and wma.wmflabs.org will stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes the mapnik gadget, hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going. [13]

Blokkade van: 2A02:A03F:4AF4:7600:E1EC:6F19:D9CA:423A

Mag ik vragen waarom bovenstaand IP is geblokkeerd? De enige bewerkingen die ik kan zien zijn in de helpdesk met een oprechte vraag... Ik weet dat wanneer bijdragen volledig worden verwijderd, deze ook niet meer te zien zijn in je lijst van bijdragen maar ik kan mij geen vandalisme herinneren vanaf dit IP-adres. OXYGENE 7-13 (OVERLEG) 28 dec 2018 14:27 (CET)

Er zit een LSV op die range. Zie Wikipedia:Checklijst langdurig structureel vandalisme/Tavh. Mbch331 (Overleg) 28 dec 2018 14:30 (CET)

P.S. Ik heb de range blok links op die pagina aangepast zodat in de toekomst iets duidelijker is waarom er geblokt is. Mbch331 (Overleg) 28 dec 2018 14:36 (CET)

Ik zie het. Dank voor 't antwoord! OXYGENE 7-13 (OVERLEG) 28 dec 2018 14:39 (CET)

IPv6-range blokkeren

Hoi Mbch331. Bij het zoeken naar het bovengenoemde onderwerp zag ik jouw naam voorbijkomen (o.a. hier) en het lijkt erop dat jij er wel enig verstand van hebt. Zodoende een vraag: ik zie in deze artikelgeschiedenis sinds 12 november steeds IPv6-adressen met ongewenste bewerkingen langskomen, die (tot nu toe) alle de eerste 2 blokken gemeen hebben, te weten 2405:3800. Ik ga er vanuit dat dit steeds dezelfde gebruiker is en zou het handig vinden als deze geblokkeerd kon worden, i.p.v. dat het betreffende artikel steeds beveiligd wordt (recent vandalisme vanaf andere adressen is er immers niet). Maar weet jij hoe dat in zijn werk gaat in het geval van 2 blokken? Groet, Apdency (overleg) 29 dec 2018 10:21 (CET)

Ik weet het ook niet exact. Ik weet dat een overeenkomst van de eerste 4 blokken een ::/64 range is. Ik heb er even dieper ingedoken en 2405:3800::/32 is een mobiele range uit Maleisië. Ik zou het bij RonaldB neerleggen. Die is de expert op het gebied van proxy's e.d. Mbch331 (Overleg) 29 dec 2018 10:50 (CET)

Stefan Jurriens

Dag Mbch331, ik zag dat de pagina Stefan Jurriens niet kan worden aangemaakt i.v.m. beveiliging en dat de pagina door de streken niet serieuze aanmakers meerdere malen is verwijderd. Ik heb inmiddels een serieuze versie gemaakt aangezien, te bekijken op mijn kladblok. Is het mogelijk om deze versie te plaatsen, of moet de verwijdering van een beveiliging ergens worden verzocht en zo ja waar? Ik ben dan wel sinds 2012 geregistreerd maar pas sinds kort echt actief dus ik zoek soms de weg nog even :-). - Twazz (overleg) 29 dec 2018 02:16 (CET)

Je kan op WP:B vragen de beveiliging op te heffen, waarin je aangeeft dat je in je kladblok een nieuwe versie hebt. Dan is het aan de moderator aldaar om een oordeel te vellen of jouw versie voldoende is om de beveiliging op te heffen, zodat je het artikel kan plaatsen. Mbch331 (Overleg) 29 dec 2018 09:59 (CET)

Super, bedankt! Ik ga er mee aan de slag. Excuses voor het storen. - Twazz (overleg) 29 dec 2018 19:52 (CET)

Geen excuses nodig. Vragen stellen mag altijd. Mbch331 (Overleg) 29 dec 2018 21:55 (CET)

Sterrendag

Het is vandaag sterrendag, de dag waarop we elkaar nog even extra bedanken voor een jaar vol enthousiasme en prachtige bijdragen. Herintroductie sterrendag: Uit te reiken aan iemand die u afgelopen jaar positief opviel. Dat kan een hele serie bewerkingen of initiatieven zijn, maar ook één bijzondere bewerking. Het idee is laagdrempelig; de ster hoeft niet ergens op een lijst ingeschreven te worden, slechts uitdelen ter waardering. Leuk zou zijn om daar een kleine persoonlijke motivatie aan toe te voegen, maar niets is verplicht. Het gaat om het gebaar. Het uitdelen ervan vindt plaats op 31 december, deelt u er ook eentje uit vandaag?

Blokkade

Hoi Mbch331,

Ik zag dat je deze gebruiker hebt geblokkeerd wegens 'langdurig structureel vandalisme' maar ik mis eventjes waar dat vandalisme zich in uitte. Ik zie wel veel bijdragen, maar die lijken allemaal met de beste bedoelingen gemaakt. Zie ik verwijderde bijdragen over het hoofd? (ik kan even niet terugvinden hoe ik verwijderde bijdragen van een range kan terugvinden) Of misschien iets anders? Effeietsanders 31 dec 2018 13:58 (CET)

Zie het overleg met Oxygene hierboven. Het gaat om Tavh. Mbch331 (Overleg) 31 dec 2018 14:07 (CET)
