Samenvoegpagina

Ik had een samenvoegverzoek geplaatst, maar de pagina voor juli 2023 bestond nog niet. Die heb ik aangemaakt en na wat gehannes, heb ik hem nu weten te doen verschijnen op Wikipedia:Samenvoegen. Het enige probleem is dat nu het kopje Juli 2023 ontbreekt. Ik heb het kopje toegevoegd op de pagina voor juli, maar dat werkt niet. Kan iemand even helpen om het in orde te maken? 🙂 Mondo (overleg) 6 jul 2023 22:30 (CEST)

O, nu staat het kopje er wel ineens. Had de pagina al meermaals ververst. Computers……… Mondo (overleg) 6 jul 2023 22:32 (CEST)

Verversen van het browser-venster helpt niets. Iemand moet de cache-versie van die pagina op de servers verversen. Dat doe je het makkelijkst door de pagina op te slaan zonder iets te veranderen. –Frank Geerlings (overleg) 7 jul 2023 19:18 (CEST)

Ik had de verversknop in het rechtermenu van Wikipedia gebruikt, die omzeilt de cache. Meestal werkt dat uitstekend, maar in dit geval niet. Mondo (overleg) 7 jul 2023 19:35 (CEST)

Tech News: 2023-28

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 Section-level Image Suggestions feature has been deployed on seven Wikipedias (Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Catalan, Hungarian, Finnish and Norwegian Bokmål). The feature recommends images for articles on contributors' watchlists that are a good match for individual sections of those articles.
• Global abuse filters have been enabled on all Wikimedia projects, except English and Japanese Wikipedias (who opted out). This change was made following a global request for comments. [1]
• Speciaal:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool for administrators to help fight spam. It provides a clearer interface for blocking plain domains (and their subdomains), is more easily searchable, and is faster for the software to process for each edit on the wiki. It does not support regex (for complex cases), nor URL path-matching, nor the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist, but otherwise it replaces most of the functionalities of the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. There is a Python script to help migrate all simple domains into this tool, and more feature details, within the tool's documentation. It is available at all wikis except for Meta-wiki, Commons, and Wikidata. [2]
• The WikiEditor extension was updated. It includes some of the most frequently used features of wikitext editing. In the past, many of its messages could only be translated by administrators, but now all regular translators on translatewiki can translate them. Please check the state of WikiEditor localization into your language, and if the "Completion" for your language shows anything less than 100%, please complete the translation. See a more detailed explanation.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 July. It will be on all wikis from 13 July (calendar).
• The default protocol of Speciaal:VerwijzingenZoeken and API counterparts has changed from http to both http and https. [3]
• Speciaal:VerwijzingenZoeken and its API counterparts will now search for all of the URL provided in the query. It used to be only the first 60 characters. This feature was requested fifteen years ago. [4]

Future changes

• There is an experiment with a ChatGPT plugin. This is to show users where the information is coming from when they read information from Wikipedia. It has been tested by Wikimedia Foundation staff and other Wikimedians. Soon all ChatGPT plugin users can use the Wikipedia plugin. This is the same plugin which was mentioned in Tech News 2023/20. [5]
• There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed Third-party resources policy. The proposal will impact the use of third-party resources in gadgets and userscripts. Based on the ideas received so far, policy includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, some best practices and exemption requirements such as code transparency and inspectability. Your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on on the policy talk page.
