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 search on English, French, Hebrew and Greek wikis and find words even if you forget the diacritics. It also works if you use diacritics in your search but the wiki doesn't. [1]
• When you use the mobile view and click on a link to an article in another language you will see that article in the mobile view. Previously it changed to the desktop view. [2]

Problems

• Some watchlist gadgets didn't work for a period of time last week. This has now been fixed. [3]
• Admins who click on "mass delete" on a user's Special:Contributions will be taken directly to a list pages created by that user. It has worked like this before, but not lately. [4]

Changes this week

• The way you switch between wikitext and the visual editors in the desktop view has changed. It is now a drop-down menu. This is the same as in the mobile view. [5]
• The "flag the edit in the abuse log" checkbox will be removed from the abuse filter interface. This is because the edits are always flagged in the abuse log. [6]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 March. It will be on all wikis from 9 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 7 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Clarification

• The 2017/09 issue of Tech News mentioned 3D file formats you can soon upload to Commons. The AMF format will be available later.

Volapük

Het gaat om de volgende drie letters: Ꞛ, Ꞝ en Ꞟ. Wie kan ze zien? Dit is even een steekproef. Wie ze kan zien, graag hieronder handtekening plaatsen (hekje en vier tildes). Bij voorbaat dank. --bdijkstra (overleg) 8 mrt 2017 15:23 (CET)

Changes this week

• You will be able to show references from <references /> tags in more than one column on your wiki. This is the list of footnotes for the sources in the article. How many columns you see will depend on how big your screen is. On some wikis, some templates already do this. Templates that use <references /> tags will need to be updated, and then later the change can happen for all reference lists. [7][8]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 March. It will be on all wikis from 16 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 14 March at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Some old web browsers will not be able to use JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis in the future. If you have an old web browser on your computer you can upgrade to a newer version. [9]
• CSS in templates will be stored in a separate page in the future. [10][11]

Tech News: 2017-12

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 Save page button now says Publish page or Publish changes on the Wikimedia wikis except for Wikipedias and Wikinewses. This change will come to Wikipedias later. The point is to make it more clear that the edit will change the page immediately. Publish page is when you save a new page and Publish changes when you edit an existing page. [12]
• DMOZ no longer works. Templates that use DMOZ can be redirected to archive.org or another mirror. DMOZ has been removed from the RelatedSites extension on Wikivoyage. [13]
• You can see monthly page views when you click on Page information in the sidebar. Developers can also get monthly page views through the API. [14]
• The Linter extension is now on smaller Wikimedia wikis. It helps editors find some wikitext errors so they can be fixed. It will come to other Wikimedia wikis later. The extension will be able to find more errors later. [15]
• The MediaWiki-Vagrant portable development environment has been updated to use Debian Jessie. This means local development and testing will be more like on the majority of Wikimedia production servers. [16]

Problems

• On 15 March some interwiki links to other languages were not correctly sorted. This has been fixed. If you still see pages where the interwiki links are not sorted as they should be, they should be fixed automatically with time or you can edit the page and save it without changing anything. If this doesn't work, please report it. [17]

Changes this week

• When you edit with the visual editor, you will be able to switch the direction you write in from right-to-left to left-to-right as you are editing. This is especially important for editors who edit in languages that write from right to left. You can do this with a tool in the editing menu. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+X on PCs or Cmd+Shift+X on Macs. [18]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 March. It will be on all wikis from 23 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 21 maart at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Recent changes

• When you edit with the visual editor, you can see a visual diff as well as a wikitext diff when you review your changes. [19]

Problems

• Special:AllPages was disabled for two days due to some performance issues. It is back, but the filter for redirects is gone as the cause of the performance problem. It still needs to be fixed. [20][21]

Changes this week

• New filters for Recent changes will be released on Portuguese and Polish Wikipedias and MediaWikiwiki on March 28. Other wikis will get it progressively. The new filters include filtering, highlighting and, on certain wikis, user intent prediction.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from March 28. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from March 29. It will be on all wikis from March 30 (calendar).

Sjablonen IOC-landcodes

Vijf jaar geleden is er al eens een discussie geweest op de gelinkte pagina over hetzelfde, zonder duidelijke conclusie. Recent heb ik de situatie eens goed bekeken, het nodige opruimwerk gedaan en ik wou graag de discussie weer voortzetten. --bdijkstra (overleg) 30 mrt 2017 16:57 (CEST)

Tekst onder 'Wijzigingen publiceren'

Op dit moment staat er onder 'Wijzigingen publiceren' zoveel tekst, dat die knop uit beeld verdwijnt wanneer je helemaal naar de onderkant van de pagina gaat. In andere talen doen ze dat bijvoorbeeld veel zuiniger. Is er ook een mogelijkheid om de licentietekst en de voorwaarden daar (als optie) in te klappen / te verwijderen? Het mag ook via de common.js of common.css. Alleen de speciale tekens vind ik nog wel handig. Op een gegeven moment heb je dat eigenlijk al gezien. Dat zou handig zijn, bedankt! Ymnes (overleg) 31 mrt 2017 16:10 (CEST)

Misschien via Wikipedia:Verzoeken voor wijziging menu's en dialoogteksten? --bdijkstra (overleg) 31 mrt 2017 16:25 (CEST)

Ik vermoed dat het een persoonlijke wens is van mij en dat ik hier voor algemeen gebruik geen handen op elkaar krijg. Zou het via een extra regel in zo'n common-pagina kunnen, dan hebben anderen daar denk ik geen bezwaar tegen. ...is zo mijn redenering, maar dat heb ik nog niet geprobeerd. Voor nieuwelingen is het natuurlijk wel belangrijk om ze op de regels te wijzen. Ymnes (overleg) 31 mrt 2017 16:36 (CEST)

In je common.css (of vector.css) kan je het volgende opnemen:

/* Voorwaarden zijn groot, onhandig als je naar onder scrollt om op te slaan */
#conditions { display:none; }

Heb het zelf even getest, en eigenlijk vind ik het ook wel handig, dus ik laat het ook staan . Akoopal _overleg 2 apr 2017 00:18 (CEST)

Helemaal goed, dankjewel! Ymnes (overleg) 2 apr 2017 08:32 (CEST)

Ik had vanmiddag even alleen een mobieltje ter beschikking en daarop was het een verademing omdat dat lange stuk er niet onder stond. Ymnes (overleg) 2 apr 2017 17:37 (CEST)
