Tech News: 2023-20Edit
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
- Citations that are automatically generated based on ISBN are currently broken. This affects citations made with the VisualEditor Automatic tab, and the use of the citoid API in gadgets and user scripts. Work is ongoing to restore this feature. [1]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 May. It will be on all wikis from 18 May (calendar).
- Starting on Wednesday, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link" (Gorontalo Wikipedia, Hausa Wikipedia, Hakka Chinese Wikipedia, Hawaiian Wikipedia, Fiji Hindi Wikipedia, Croatian Wikipedia, Upper Sorbian Wikipedia, Haitian Creole Wikipedia, Interlingua Wikipedia, Interlingue Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Iloko Wikipedia, Ingush Wikipedia, Ido Wikipedia, Icelandic Wikipedia, Inuktitut Wikipedia, Jamaican Patois Wikipedia, Javanese Wikipedia). This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to more Wikipedias. The communities can configure how this feature works locally. [2]
Future changes
- There is a recently formed team at the Wikimedia Foundation which will be focusing on experimenting with new tools. Currently they are building a prototype ChatGPT plugin that allows information generated by ChatGPT to be properly attributed to the Wikimedia projects.
- Gadget and userscript developers should replace
jquery.cookie
withmediawiki.cookie
. Thejquery.cookie
library will be removed in ~1 month, and staff developers will run a script to replace any remaining uses at that time. [3]

ChenzwBotEdit
Hi, my name is Sam and I’m a Product Manager on the Moderator Tools team at the Wikimedia Foundation. We’re exploring a potential new project for next year, to build a kind of anti-vandalism bot which could be used on any Wikimedia project, using a new machine-learning algorithm.
Since you run ChenzwBot, I wanted to reach out to ask you a few questions about your experience, so that we can learn more about the feasibility of this project.
- What prompted you to create this bot?
- How does the bot work? What models does it use to determine which edits to revert?
- What does the community think about it? Were there any discussions or disagreements about deploying the bot?
If you have any other thoughts or suggestions about our idea I’d love to hear them! Hearing about your experiences will really help us in understanding whether this project is viable and what we should be thinking about.
Thanks, Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 12:23, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
