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

• Wikis with the Growth features now can configure Growth features directly on their wiki. This uses the new special page Special:EditGrowthConfig. [4]
• Wikisources have a new OCR tool. If you don't want to see the "extract text" button on Wikisource you can add .ext-wikisource-ExtractTextWidget { display: none; } to your common.css page. [5]

Problems

• You will be able to read but not edit the Wikimedia wikis for a few minutes on 29 June. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. [6][7]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 June. It will be on all wikis from 1 July (calendar).

Future changes

• Threshold for stub link formatting, thumbnail size and auto-number headings can be set in preferences. They are expensive to maintain and few editors use them. The developers are planning to remove them. Removing them will make pages load faster. You can read more and give feedback.
• A toolbar will be added to the Reply tool's wikitext source mode. This will make it easier to link to pages and to ping other users. [8][9]

Tech News: 2021-27

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

• The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 19 July.

Recent changes

• AutoWikiBrowser is a tool to make repetitive tasks easier. It now uses JSON. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage has moved to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON and Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Config. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version has moved to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/VersionJSON. The tool will eventually be configured on the wiki so that you don't have to wait until the new version to add templates or regular expression fixes. [10]

Problems

• InternetArchiveBot helps saving online sources on some wikis. It adds them to Wayback Machine and links to them there. This is so they don't disappear if the page that was linked to is removed. It currently has a problem with linking to the wrong date when it moves pages from archive.is to web.archive.org. [11]

Changes later this week

• The tool to find, add and remove templates will be updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It will come to the first wikis on 7 July. It will come to more wikis later this year. [12][13]
• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

• Some Wikimedia wikis use Flagged Revisions or pending changes. It hides edits from new and unregistered accounts for readers until they have been patrolled. The auto review action in Flagged Revisions will no longer be logged. All old logs of auto-review will be removed. This is because it creates a lot of logs that are not very useful. [14]

Listă de filme americane

Salutări, deblochează câteva articole din Format:Listă de filme americane, de la 1909 la 1929 deocamdată să mă apuc să traduc prin ele. Deocamdată acestea, apoi continuăm cu cele din anii 1930 ș.a.m.d. Mulțumesc. Terraflorin (discuție) 11 iulie 2021 13:19 (EEST)

Terraflorin le-am recuperat.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  11 iulie 2021 21:41 (EEST)

Ok, ms, majoritatea însă nu au titluri în română (cele f. vechi) - acesta fiind un motiv al ștergerii inițiale. Doar să pun titlul cărții acolo unde a inspirat scenariul - cum ar fi Ultimul mohican sau Poveste despre două orașe. --Terraflorin (discuție) 12 iulie 2021 09:20 (EEST)

@Terraflorin: dacă a fost tradusă cartea, cred că poate fi folosită ca sursă și pentru film. Dar articolele au mult mai multe probleme: genul e amestecat (dramatic vs. comedie vs. film de război), unele nume sau studiouri au legături albastre, altele roșii, altele deloc, sunt formate și categorii lipsă, traduceri ciudățele (nu înțeleg ce vrei să spui aici: Primul film cu vedetele - surorile Gish), cuprins în partea de jos a paginii și cred că mai găsesc. Astea trebuie rezolvate în primul rând, nu neapărat titlul.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  12 iulie 2021 21:20 (EEST)

Se rezolvă toate problemele cu timpul. De ce zici că genul e amestecat, un film poate fi în mai multe genuri (și dramatic și comedie etc.) Am ales unele formulări prescurtate pt. ca să nu scriu romane prin tabele (Primul film cu vedetele - surorile Gish - adică primul lungmetraj în care au jucat surorile Gish, vedete ale cinematografiei). La Listă de filme americane din 1915 aproape am tradus totul dar mi s-a oprit de 3 ori acel PC Desktop primit (cred că a fost de la un driver nou actualizat, l-am dezinstalat) și a rămas așa articolul deocamdată, nu-mi place să fac același lucru de 2 ori (în aceeași zi).--Terraflorin (discuție) 12 iulie 2021 21:30 (EEST)

E vorba de uniformitate. Dacă zici comedie, ar trebui să zici dramă și război sau film de război -> film dramatic, film de comedie. Oricare variantă e bună, mai ales dacă adaugi legături interne la început, doar să fie aceeași peste tot.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  12 iulie 2021 21:38 (EEST)

Da, am vrut să fie mai clar în cazul genului război, se rezolvă. E vreo problemă dacă sunt legături roșii? La cele fără legături probabil că nu există articolul corespunzător nici la en.wiki. --Terraflorin (discuție) 12 iulie 2021 21:49 (EEST)

Nu e o problemă dacă sunt legături roșii, mă refeream că același nume e și cu roșu și cu albastru (nu mai știu anul, caut mâine). E ori un typo, ori 2 persoane diferite, ori ceva tradus doar într-un loc. Strainu (دسستي‎)  12 iulie 2021 23:14 (EEST)

Bună ziua SEmilian. Articolele de pe Wikipedia nu aparțin cuiva anume, ele sunt rezultatul muncii mai multor utilizatori pe care îi puteți vedea apăsând pe butonul "Istoric" din pagina articolului. Catedrala lipovenească din Târgu Frumos a fost scris în mare parte de Madalinfocsa, dacă aveți întrebări vă poate ajuta dânsul.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  13 iulie 2021 19:45 (EEST)

Format:DP-personal

Hi! Does this template have disclaimers? I think either a file is Public domain or it is not Public domain. I have never seen PD with disclaimers before. --MGA73 (discuție) 15 iulie 2021 16:49 (EEST)

The wording has the same meaning as on Commons and en.wp (the likely source for our version). Some countries, including Romania, indeed do not allow giving up on non-monetary rights, thus the second part. You can think of it as "PD or WTFPL, whatever is legal in my country"--Strainu (دسستي‎)  16 iulie 2021 23:20 (EEST)

Okay thank you. In that case CC0 is probably better :-) --MGA73 (discuție) 18 iulie 2021 12:33 (EEST)

TBH I haven't given much thought to the different flavors of pd-like licenses. I think we should just follow Commons on that :) Strainu (دسستي‎)  18 iulie 2021 13:44 (EEST)

Tech News: 2021-29

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 tool to find, add and remove templates was updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It was supposed to come to the first wikis on 7 July. It was delayed to 12 July instead. It will come to more wikis later this year. [16][17]
• Special:UnconnectedPages lists pages that are not connected to Wikidata. This helps you find pages that can be connected to Wikidata items. Some pages should not be connected to Wikidata. You can use the magic word __EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ on pages that should not be listed on the special page. [18]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 July. It will be on all wikis from 22 July (calendar).

Future changes

• How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will soon change. This can affect bots, gadgets, user scripts and extensions. You can read more. You can test it on Testwiki or Testwiki 2.
• The parameters for how you obtain tokens in the MediaWiki API were changed in 2014. The old way will no longer work from 1 September. Scripts, bots and tools that use the parameters from before the 2014 change need to be updated. You can read more.

Tech News: 2021-31

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

• If your wiki uses markup like <div class="mw-content-ltr"> or <div class="mw-content-rtl"> without the required dir attribute, then these will no longer work in 2 weeks. There is a short-term fix that can be added to your local wiki's Common.css page, which is explained at T287701. From now on, all usages should include the full attributes, for example: <div class="mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr" lang="en"> or <div class="mw-content-rtl" dir="rtl" lang="he">. This also applies to some other HTML tags, such as span or code. You can find existing examples on your wiki that need to be updated, using the instructions at T287701.
• Reminder: Wikimedia has migrated to the Libera Chat IRC network, from the old Freenode network. Local documentation should be updated.

Problems

• Last week, all wikis had slow access or no access for 30 minutes. There was a problem with generating dynamic lists of articles on the Russian Wikinews, due to the bulk import of 200,000+ new articles over 3 days, which led to database problems. The problematic feature has been disabled on that wiki and developers are discussing if it can be fixed properly. [20][21]

Changes later this week

• When adding links to a page using VisualEditor or the 2017 wikitext editor, disambiguation pages will now only appear at the bottom of search results. This is because users do not often want to link to disambiguation pages. [22]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 August. It will be on all wikis from 5 August (calendar).

Future changes

• The team of the Wikipedia app for Android is working on communication in the app. The developers are working on how to talk to other editors and get notifications. You can read more. They are looking for users who want to test the plans. Any editor who has an Android phone and is willing to download the app can do this.
• The Beta Feature for Unelte de discuție will be updated in the coming weeks. You will be able to subscribe to individual sections on a talk page at more wikis. You can test this now by adding ?dtenable=1 to the end of the talk page's URL (example).
