Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Tech News: 2024-35

[edit]

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

Feature news

  • Advanced item Administrators can now test the temporary accounts feature on test2wiki. This was done to allow cross-wiki testing of temporary accounts, for when temporary accounts switch between projects. The feature was enabled on testwiki a few weeks ago. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Temporary Accounts is a project to create a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors which are no longer made public. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page.
  • Later this week, editors at wikis that use FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") may notice that the indicators at the top of articles have changed. This change makes the system more consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface. [1]

Bugs status

  • Editors who use the 2010 wikitext editor, and use the Character Insert buttons, will no longer experience problems with the buttons adding content into the edit-summary instead of the edit-window. You can read more about that, and 26 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Project updates

  • Wishlist item Please review and vote on Focus Areas, which are groups of wishes that share a problem. Focus Areas were created for the newly reopened Community Wishlist, which is now open year-round for submissions. The first batch of focus areas are specific to moderator workflows, around welcoming newcomers, minimizing repetitive tasks, and prioritizing tasks. Once volunteers have reviewed and voted on focus areas, the Foundation will then review and select focus areas for prioritization.
  • Do you have a project and are willing to provide a three (3) month mentorship for an intern? Outreachy is a twice a year program for people to participate in a paid internship that will start in December 2024 and end in early March 2025, and they need mentors and projects to work on. Projects can be focused on coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, research). See the Outreachy page for more details, and a list of past projects since 2013.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alleppey Ripples

[edit]

Hello, Joseph2302,

You set up this bundled AFD nomination but you didn't post a notification on the User talk page of each of the articles' creators. Doing this is part of posting an AFD discussion and content creators should be notified if an article they created is being discussed. If the editing tools you use don't post a template in a bundled nomination, then you should take care of this manually by posting a personal note or template. This discussion has been relisted so could you take care of these notifications this week? Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:49, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Twinkle doesn't allow for multi-AFD nomination, so had to add the other pages manually, and I naively assumed they were created by same user. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:20, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-36

Weekly highlight

  • Editors and volunteer developers interested in data visualisation can now test the new software for charts. Its early version is available on beta Commons and beta Wikipedia. This is an important milestone before making charts available on regular wikis. You can read more about this project update and help to test the charts.

Feature news

  • Editors who use the Special:UnusedTemplates page can now filter out pages which are expected to be there permanently, such as sandboxes, test-cases, and templates that are always substituted. Editors can add the new magic word __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ to a template page to hide it from the listing. Thanks to Sophivorus and DannyS712 for these improvements. [2]
  • Editors who use the New Topic tool on discussion pages, will now be reminded to add a section header, which should help reduce the quantity of newcomers who add sections without a header. You can read more about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
  • Last week, some Toolforge tools had occasional connection problems. The cause is still being investigated, but the problems have been resolved for now. [3]
  • Translation administrators at multilingual wikis, when editing multiple translation units, can now easily mark which changes require updates to the translation. This is possible with the new dropdown menu.

Project updates

  • A new draft text of a policy discussing the use of Wikimedia's APIs has been published on Meta-Wiki. The draft text does not reflect a change in policy around the APIs; instead, it is an attempt to codify existing API rules. Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the proposed update’s talk page until September 13 or until those discussions have concluded.

CSD G5s

[edit]

Hello, Joseph2302,

Thank you for your patrolling of recent changes. I do have one request. I see you use Twinkle to tag pages for deletion, which is great, but if you tag an article, draft or file as CSD G5, please add the name of the sockmaster in the field that is available next to this criteria. If there are questions about the deletion later, since the page history has been deleted, the name of the original sockmaster is in the deletion notation at the top of the page and an interested editor or admin can look into this. G5s can be tricky for some editors because often editors put the name of the sockpuppet in this field but it's the username of the block-evading editor which is what is important.

Thanks again for all of your contributions on the project which I run into in AFDLand, too! Liz Read! Talk! 19:39, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, was on my phone when tagging these, so forgot to add the sockmaster to these requests. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:37, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
