Hey, Chenzw! I asked a question a while back, now it's in your archives. Can I ask it again? Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 21:55, 6 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Apologies for the oversight, I just went back to take a look, are you referring to the question in Apr 2021 about the babel userboxes? If so, unfortunately I don't know about it either. Chenzw  Talk  16:09, 10 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that was the question. Thanks for the reply :) --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:07, 11 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

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

Changes later this week

  •   The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 June. It will be on all wikis from 10 June (calendar).

Future changes

  • The Wikimedia movement uses Phabricator for technical tasks. This is where we collect technical suggestions, bugs and what developers are working on. The company behind Phabricator will stop working on it. This will not change anything for the Wikimedia movement now. It could lead to changes in the future. [1][2][3]
  • Searching on Wikipedia will find more results in some languages. This is mainly true for when those who search do not use the correct diacritics because they are not seen as necessary in that language. For example searching for Bedusz doesn't find Będusz on German Wikipedia. The character ę isn't used in German so many would write e instead. This will work better in the future in some languages. [4]
  •   The CSRF token parameters in the action API were changed in 2014. The old parameters from before 2014 will stop working soon. This can affect bots, gadgets and user scripts that still use the old parameters. [5][6]

If a page title is too long, isn't there a filter that stops it? Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 03:22, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker) I do not believe so. See here.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 03:18, 13 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
(talk page stalker) That depends what you consider to be "too long". I think the limit is 256 characters. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:01, 13 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Recent changes

  • Logged-in users on the mobile web can choose to use the advanced mobile mode. They now see categories in a similar way as users on desktop do. This means that some gadgets that have just been for desktop users could work for users of the mobile site too. If your wiki has such gadgets you could decide to turn them on for the mobile site too. Some gadgets probably need to be fixed to look good on mobile. [7]
  • Language links on Wikidata now works for multilingual Wikisource. [8]

Changes later this week

  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

  • In the future we can't show the IP of unregistered editors to everyone. This is because privacy regulations and norms have changed. There is now a rough draft of how showing the IP to those who need to see it could work.
  • German Wikipedia, English Wikivoyage and 29 smaller wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 22 June. This is planned between 5:00 and 5:30 UTC. [9]
  • All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes in the week of 28 June. More information will be published in Tech News later. It will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [10][11]

That anonymous user for whose edit you recently reverted, 2601:150:4301:18D0:4C27:7D5D:EB0E:4D82 also perform spams in my user talk page. I think my user page also needs protection. Could you please protect both my user talk page as well as sandbox? Because these are often vandalized. Haoreima (talk) 13:39, 17 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • 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. [16][17]

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. [18][19]
