Tech News: 2023-02

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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 use tags to filter edits in the recent changes feed or on your watchlist. You can now use tags to filter out edits you don't want to see. Previously you could only use tags to focus on the edits with those tags. [1]
  • Special:WhatLinksHere shows all pages that link to a specific page. There is now a prototype for how to sort those pages alphabetically. You can see the discussion in the Phabricator ticket.
  • You can now use the thanks function on your watchlist and the user contribution page. [2]
  • A wiki page can be moved to give it a new name. You can now get a dropdown menu with common reasons when you move a page. This is so you don't have to write the explanation every time. [3]
  • Matrix is a chat tool. You can now use matrix: to create Matrix links on wiki pages. [4]
  • You can filter out translations when you look at the recent changes on multilingual wikis. This didn't hide translation pages. You can now also hide subpages which are translation pages. [5]

Changes later this week

  • Realtime preview for wikitext is a tool which lets editors preview the page when they edit wikitext. It will be enabled for all users of the 2010 wikitext editor. You will find it in the editor toolbar.
  • Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on 10 January at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis) and on 12 January at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis).
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 January. It will be on all wikis from 12 January (calendar).

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

Problems

  • The URLs in "prev" links on page history now contain diff=prev&oldid=[revision ID] in place of diff=[revision ID]&oldid=[revision ID]. This is to fix a problem with links pointing to incorrect diffs when history was filtered by a tag. Some user scripts may break as a result of this change. [6]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 January. It will be on all wikis from 19 January (calendar).
  • Some changes to the appearance of talk pages have only been available on Talk: and User talk: namespaces. These will be extended to other talk namespaces, such as Wikisource talk:. They will continue to be unavailable in non-talk namespaces, including Wikisource: pages (e.g., at the Village Pump). You can change your preferences (beta feature). [7]
  • On Wikisources, when an image is zoomed or panned in the Page: namespace, the same zoom and pan settings will be remembered for all Page: namespace pages that are linked to a particular Index: namespace page. [8]
  • The Vector 2022 skin will become the default for the English Wikipedia desktop users. The change will take place on January 18 at 15:00 UTC. Learn more.

Future changes

  • The 2023 edition of the Community Wishlist Survey, which invites contributors to make technical proposals and vote for tools and improvements, starts next week on 23 January 2023 at 18:00 UTC. You can start drafting your proposals in the CWS sandbox.

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

Problems

  • Last week, for ~15 minutes, some users were unable to log in or edit pages. This was caused by a problem with session storage. [12]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 February. It will be on all wikis from 2 February (calendar).

Future changes

  • Wikis that use localized numbering schemes for references need to add new CSS. This will help to show citation numbers the same way in all reading and editing modes. If your wiki would prefer to do it yourselves, please see the details and example CSS to copy from, and also add your wiki to the list. Otherwise, the developers will directly help out starting the week of February 5.

Recent changes

  • In the Vector 2022 skin, logged-out users using the full-width toggle will be able to see the setting of their choice even after refreshing pages or opening new ones. This only applies to wikis where Vector 2022 is the default. [13]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 February. It will be on all wikis from 9 February (calendar).
  • Previously, we announced when some wikis would be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. These switches will not be announced any more, as the read-only time has become non-significant. Switches will continue to happen at 7AM UTC on Tuesdays and Thursdays. [14]
  • Across all the wikis, in the Vector 2022 skin, logged-in users will see the page-related links such as "What links here" in a new side menu. It will be displayed on the other side of the screen. This change had previously been made on Czech, English, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. [15]
  • Community Wishlist Survey 2023 will stop receiving new proposals on Monday, 6 February 2023, at 18:00 UTC. Proposers should complete any edits by then, to give time for translations and review. Voting will begin on Friday, 10 February.

Future changes

  • Gadgets and user scripts will be changing to load on desktop and mobile sites. Previously they would only load on the desktop site. It is recommended that wiki administrators audit the gadget definitions prior to this change, and add skins=… for any gadgets which should not load on mobile. More details are available.

Trolling all around

Latest comment: 1 year ago4 comments3 people in discussion

So this well known LTA troll (either Wikinger or What's-his-name) found one obscure WMF project where he is not yet banned and defaced my (thitherto non-existing) talk page to insult me: Apparently for the crime of not sharing this troll’s wrong views on pre-Classic Greek letters a few years ago (!), it’s cool to accuse me of c.p. while pinging Jimbo about it (unsuccessfully pinging, that is, for lack of the necessary brackets). So, I want to replace this nonsense with a blank page.

But the really clever system in place here in Wikisource, the system that just allowed an IP account to create anew someone’s talk page and let it be added explicit mentions of c.p., has this to say when a user tries to blank their own talk page:

This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your action was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: don't create empty pages

And to this I have a few choice words myself, but better not add them here, for that too may be harmful. Tuvalkin (talk) 09:38, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Tropicalkitty: Thanks for reverting this sad, sad troll in my talk page. Is there a way of protecting it and/or blocking these IPs? And more generally, shouldn’t there be in place some sort of policy or filter to be triggered when someone, especially an unlogged user, add a mention to c.p. in a new edit? Tuvalkin (talk) 09:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Maybe Koavf or another Wikisource administrator could fulfill this request at their discretion. I don’t have sufficient permissions on Wikisource to perform blocks or protections in your user space, sorry. Tropicalkitty (talk) 20:35, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Deleted and protected. Sorry that I didn't see this earlier: I've been very active on en.wp lately and have ignored responsibilities on other WMF wikis. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:45, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Edit disallowed as spam

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Hello,

I just attempted to create a new topic in Talk:Rolls Series but my edit was automatically disallowed as spam. I have fifteen years of activity and hundreds of edits on various Wikimedia projects, mainly English Wikipedia. My edit isn't spam. (Nor is it self-promotion, as I have nothing to do with "Links Galore" or its author.) Please permit the edit. RW Dutton (talk) 20:32, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Weird categorizing in "Pages transcluding nonexistent sections"

Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments3 people in discussion

I have noticed that recently some pages are added into category (auxiliary I guess) Category:Pages transcluding nonexistent sections (not created yet). For example, articles and main pages of newspaper "Yakstere teshte" created by me: Якстере теште/1924/05, Якстере теште/1924/05/Газета тест аэряви. I think there is something wrong with this categorising because actually these pages don't use transcluding nonexistent sections. Moreover, some other pages of the same newspaper are not included in that category: e.g. page Якстере теште/1924/05/Лия масторга and others. Can someone comment on this categorization?

The English Wikisource seemingly also encountered this event, and it has recently created. @Tpt:: you created this category in the English WS — maybe you know: is something broken with that? Will it be fixed soon? --Nigmont (talk) 12:21, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

This is a tracking category, which collects pages that use LabeledSectionTransclusion is used incorrectly – but it currently collects also pages where it’s used correctly (see phab:T329432). Since the category itself will probably remain, I think it can be created, even if no pages it currently contains are indeed broken, and therefore it may get empty when the bug is fixed – it just needs an {{empty category}} tag. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:27, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yes, there is currently a bug adding correct usages to the category. A change that should fix this problem will be deployed on Wednesday. Sorry for that. Tpt (talk) 09:01, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Community feedback-cycle about updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use starts

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.
More languages • Please help translate to your language

Hello everyone,

Wikimedia Foundation Legal Department is organizing a feedback-cycle with community members to discuss updating the Wikimedia Terms of Use.

The Terms of Use (ToU) are the legal terms that govern the use of websites hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. We will be gathering your feedback on a draft proposal from February through April. The draft will be translated into several languages, with written feedback accepted in any language.

This update comes in response to several things:

  • Implementing the Universal Code of Conduct
  • Updating project text to the Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 license
  • Proposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing
  • Bringing our terms in line with current and recently passed laws affecting the Foundation, including the European Digital Services Act

As part of the feedback cycle two office hours will be held, the first on March 2, the second on April 4.

For further information, please consult:

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Team, --AAkhmedova (WMF) (talk) 12:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Pseudonym

Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments2 people in discussion

How should I deal with works published under a pseudonym? See Author:Л._Савельев and Koht_jemne_mil̦t_vьjet. --Rießler (talk) 09:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

To use an example from en.ws, if someone exclusively wrote under a penname and we know that person's actual identity (e.g. Eric Arthur Blair was "George Orwell" and Samuel Clemens published as "Mark Twain"), we use the penname. If someone wrote under a variety of pseudonyms or used one-off names (e.g. Søren Kierkegaard published under a half-dozen pseudonyms), then we use that person's proper name.

http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi-fe2016050411419 includes a PD work, partly in Kildin Sami language and partly in Akkala Sami, which I would like to transcribe in Wikisource. The OCR done on this document is already very accurate. I'm afraid that this accurate OCR is destroyed if I convert to DjVu. --Rießler (talk) 12:07, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Or perhaps someone can help me to create the relevant pages here, for me to proofread? --Rießler (talk) 12:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Here the PDF: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Махьтвеест_Пась-Евангели_–_Самас.pdf --Rießler (talk) 14:09, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello, @Rießler: It is not required to convert a PDF scan file to DjVu, you can use a PDF for proofreading if you want, there is no problem with that. You may use any of those formats as you prefer. Also, I created an index for that file from the Commons: Index:Махьтвеест Пась-Евангели – Самас.pdf, is that what do you need? I myself work here on adding text in Mordvinic languages (Moksha and Erzya), which are of Finno-Ugric family too, so probably I could do some help to you if you need. --Nigmont (talk) 19:30, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Огромное спасибо! Это страница: Page:Махьтвеест_Пась-Евангели_–_Самас.pdf/3 does it look alright? --Rießler (talk) 20:06, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
I checked the page and found two OCR errors, and fixed; also added {{nop}} at the end of the page, because it is needed when paragraph terminates the page, as explained on the template's documentation page: Template:Nop. The proofread page (Page:Махьтвеест Пась-Евангели – Самас.pdf/3) now looks good, so I marked it as 'Proofread' while saving the edit. --Nigmont (talk) 21:13, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you very much for your help! I'll transcribe this work soon, but for testing how this works I've uploaded another work, which is already transcribed locally on my computer and can be added here easily. Look here: Index:Men_antij_Okțaвr_Revolucia_roвtus̷dɘdь_saamit.pdf. However, the original scan from the library had the backcover as frontcover. I noticed this first after creating the project in Wikisource. It is corrected in Commons, but how do I fix this here? --Rießler (talk) 15:08, 3 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean... Do you mean — that the pages in the file are ordered somewhat wrongly: the back cover page (must be at the end of the file) is currently placed as the 1-st page, and the front cover goes as the 2-nd page? If you mean this, then if you fix the file and change pages' order, and upload a new version (it should be noticed that it hasn't been done yet — the file on the Commons still has that wrong order), then you need to change the pages which you have created here already: page "Page:Men antij Okțaвr Revolucia roвtus̷dɘdь saamit.pdf/2" should become as page "/1", the page "/3" would go as "/2" etc. But if you don't want to upload new version — then you can proofread pages as they are now, without changing their current order. It's rather a question of convenience — is it needed to fix the pages order, would it be easy, or maybe it would be easier to leave them as they are ordered now. --Nigmont (talk) 11:44, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Commons has the corrected order, but in Index:Men antij Okțaвr Revolucia roвtus̷dɘdь saamit.pdf I defined page 2 as the cover. I think fixing the pages would be most convenient. Are you admin and can delete current Page:Men antij Okțaвr Revolucia roвtus̷dɘdь saamit.pdf/1? (Don't worry about loosing the transcription, I have it locally.) After this I can move the other pages and insert current page one at the end. --Rießler (talk) 14:15, 5 March 2023 (UTC)I understand this now, sorry for bothering you. --Rießler (talk) 14:54, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
No, I am not an admin, so I cannot help with moving the pages, sorry. I can move only pages' content by copy-pasting from page to page, but seemingly you have already done that yourselves, so the problem should be solved now. But if there were a lot of pages (hundred or more) to move, then, of course, it would be better to ask admins to run a script to move them automatically, and to wait when some of them does that. --Nigmont (talk) 15:45, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Your wiki will be in read only soon

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

All traffic will switch on 1 March. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

  • You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday 1 March 2023.
  • If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

  • Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
  • We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
  • GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

Hello,

As follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:

  • Community members in good standing
  • Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
  • Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
  • Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
  • Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
  • Confidently able to communicate in English

The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.

The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page, or contact ucocproject(_AT_)wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.

This LTA (also known as GRP) is now active at Njet, Molotoff - please protect the page as vandalism, and please revdel the absurd libels. Thanks. --Quangdat201 (talk) 04:41, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Problems

  • For a few days earlier this month, the "Add interlanguage link" item in the Tools menu did not work properly. This has now been fixed. [89]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 May. It will be on all wikis from 1 June (calendar).
  • VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on small and medium wikis this week. Large wikis will follow in the coming weeks. This is part of the effort to move Parsoid into MediaWiki core. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here.

Recent changes

  • The RealMe extension allows you to mark URLs on your user page as verified for Mastodon and similar software.
  • Citation and footnote editing can now be started from the reference list when using the visual editor. This feature request was voted #2 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [91]
  • Previously, clicking on someone else's link to Recent Changes with filters applied within the URL could unintentionally change your preference for "Group results by page". This has now been fixed. [92]

Problems

  • For a few days last week, some tools and bots returned outdated information due to database replication problems, and may have been down entirely while it was being fixed. These issues have now been fixed. [93]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 June. It will be on all wikis from 8 June (calendar).
  • Bots will no longer be prevented from making edits because of URLs that match the spam blacklist. [94]
