Problems

• Everyone was logged out. This was because a few users saw the wikis as if they were logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now. [86]
• Some readers didn't see new edits to pages. If the page had been recently changed they saw an older version of the page instead. This only affected readers who were logged out. It lasted for ten days. It has been fixed. [87]

Changes later this week

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

Future changes

• The Modern and Monobook skins use the ID searchGoButton for the go button. This is searchButton for Vector. To have the same ID for all skins it will change to searchButton in Monobook and Modern too. This will affect gadgets and user scripts. It will happen on 23 July. They should be updated to use searchButton. You can read more and see a list of affected scripts.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 July. It will be on all wikis from 9 July (calendar).

Future changes

• Abstract Wikipedia is a new Wikimedia project. It will collect language-independent information that can be easily read in different languages. It builds on Wikidata. The name is preliminary. You can read more. [89]
• The iOS Wikipedia app developers are thinking about new experimental tools. If you use an iPhone you can help them by answering the survey.
• Some rules for user signatures will soon be enforced. Lint errors and invalid HTML will no longer be allowed in user signatures. Nested substitution will not be allowed. A link to your user page, user talk page or user contributions will be required. You can check if your signature works with the new rules. This is because the signatures can cause problems for tools or other text on the page.

Recent changes

• Users can thank others for their edits. Checkusers can now see user data related to that action. This can help identify sock puppets who harass others using thanks. [90]

Problems

• Everyone was logged out a couple of weeks ago to fix a security problem. The problem was not entirely fixed. Because of this everyone was logged out once again last week. [91][92]

Changes later this week

• Wikis that are not for one specific language can translate pages. Sometimes parts of translations are outdated or missing. Outdated translations are marked with a pink background. Missing translations will also be marked in the future. This markup can sometimes break things. It can soon be disabled by using <translate nowrap></translate> on the source page. [93]

Recent changes

• A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. The mobile main page special casing stopped working 14 July. 60 wikis now have main pages that don't work well on mobile. You can see which ones, how to fix it and how to get help in Phabricator. This is the same problem that was reported in Tech News 2020/24 and 2020/26.

Problems

• There is a problem with the interlanguage links. The interlanguage links are the links that help you find a specific page in a different language. The sorting is broken. The developers are working on a solution. [98]
• Some users keep getting the notifications for the same event. Some of these are old events. [99]
• Some users have trouble logging in. This is probably a browser cookie problem. The developers are working on understanding the problem. If you have trouble logging in you can see the details on Phabricator. [100]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 July. It will be on all wikis from 23 July (calendar).

Future changes

• There is a Versi cetak link. This will disappear. That is because web browsers today can create a printable version or show how it will look in print anyway. [101]

• The first features of the Desktop Improvements project are available for logged-in users on all wikis. In order to use them, uncheck Gunakan Vektor Warisan in your local or global preferences in section Preferensi kulit. More improvements are planned. Feedback is welcome.
• On multiple wikis, a UTCLiveClock gadget is available. For wikis that import the gadget directly from mediawiki.org, end users can now choose a different timezone to show instead of UTC.

Problems

• The deployment train for MediaWiki has been blocked this week. [103][104]
• Translation Notification Bot was sending the same message multiple times to every translator. This has been fixed. [105]

• Adanya masalah dengan preferensi global pada opsi Gunakan Vektor Warisan. Para pengembang sedang memperbaikinya. [109]
• Sebuah kekutu dalam ekstensi Wikibase menonaktifkan jenis perlindungan "pindahkan" dan "buat" dalam ruangnama (Galeri) di Wikimedia Commons. Perlindungan baru tidak dapat ditambahkan, dan perlindungan yang telah ada tidak diterapkan, menyebabkan beberapa halaman dapat dipindahkan dan dibuat, yang semestinya tidak demikian. Hal ini telah diperbaiki. [110]

Perubahan ke depannya dalam minggu ini

• Pemutar video akan diganti menjadi lebih sederhana dan modern. Minggu ini, fitur beda akan menjadi pemutar video baku bagi semua orang pada wiki non-Wikipedia. Pemutar video yang lama akan dihapus. [111]

Recent changes

• FileImporter and FileExporter became standard features on all Wikis during the first week of August. They help you transfer files from local wikis to Wikimedia Commons with the original file information and history intact. [114]

Problems

Recent changes

• If you revert an edit using the undo link your edit is marked with an undo tag. This will now only happen if you don't change anything in the edit window before publishing the undo. This is to keep users from marking edits as undos when they actually do something else. [118]
• The new OOUI version will not work with Internet Explorer 8. This means the wikis will look strange and not work well in Internet Explorer 8. This was reported in Tech/News/2020/17. This is because keeping the wikis working with very old browsers creates other problems. [119]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 August. It will be on all wikis from 20 August (calendar).

Changes later this week

• Normally pages can be moved to a title that has no existing page yet or to a page that has only one revision, which is a redirect to the page to be moved. A new user right allows editors to move pages over one-revision pages that redirect to anywhere. [124]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 September. It will be on all wikis from 10 September (calendar).
• All MediaWiki API modules will now use watchlist instead of watch. This was inconsistent before. [125]

Future changes

• The Wikipedia Android app team might work on patrolling tools in the future. You can let them know what tools would be useful for you or for less experienced patrollers. See the page on mediawiki.org.
• OTRS will be updated to a new version. This will probably take around two days. OTRS agents will not have access to the system during these days. Emails that come in during the update will be delivered when the update is done. The plan is to start around 08:00 UTC on 14 September. This could change. [126]
• The Wikipedia Android app will send push notifications if users want them. This could help you see for example when someone wrote on your talk page or your edit was reverted. This will need Google Play Services to work. It will also be possible to get the app without Google Play Services but push notifications will not work. Google Play Services is also used to make the app work for Android 4.4 users. [127][128]
• Wikimedia code review could move to GitLab. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers. You can take part in the consultation.
• Dropdown menus in the Vector skin use a .menu class. This will not work in the future. Scripts can use nav ul instead. .vectorTabs and .vectorMenu will also not work. Some scripts need to be updated. You can read more in Phabricator.

Changes later this week

• The number of times you can do something in a period of time on wiki is limited. This could be the number of edits per minute or the number of users you email in a day. Some users are not affected by all limits because of their user rights. They could soon see the limit even if it does not affect them. [133]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 September. It will be on all wikis from 24 September (calendar).

Perubahan terbaru

• Pengurus sekarang bisa melihat perubahan revisi yang dihapus di Istimewa:Filter penyalahgunaan. Ini menggunakan antarmuka Istimewa:Pembatalan penghapusan. [134]
• Penyunting secara otomatis ditambahkan ke beberapa grup pengguna. Misalnya penyunting dengan jumlah penyuntingan yang cukup dan sudah berada dalam waktu cukup lama ditambahkan ke grup pengguna terkonfirmasi otomatis. Filter penyalahgunaan dapat menghalangi pengguna untuk ditambahkan secara otomatis ke sebuah hak pengguna selama jangka waktu tertentu. Mereka juga dapat menghapus hak pengguna mereka miliki. Wiki sekarang dapat meminta untuk mengubah lama periode waktu ini untuk wiki mereka [$ phabrequest in Phabricator]. Saat ini lima hari. [135]

• Versi terbaru dari MediaWiki akan tersedia di test wiki dan MediaWiki.org pada 29 September. Ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 30 September. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 1 Oktober (kalender).

Perubahan mendatang

• Anda tidak dapat melihat link bahasa ke versi bahasa lain dari halaman pembicaraan atau versi terdahulu. Link bahasa juga tidak ditampilkan saat Anda menyunting artikel. Ini bisa berubah. Belum diputuskan apakah misalnya versi terdahulu harus terhubung ke versi terdahulu lain atau ke artikel. Anda dapat berdiskusi di Phabricator.
• Warna pranala bisa berubah. Ini untuk membuat perbedaan antara pranala dan teks lain lebih jelas. Anda dapat membaca lebih lanjut di Phabricator.
• Dalam preferensi Anda, Anda dapat memilih untuk mendapatkan pemberitahuan yang berbeda di web atau melalui email. Anda akan melihat Apps sebagai salah satu alternatif akhir minggu ini. Ini karena aplikasi Wikipedia Android dan iOS akan menggunakan pemberitahuan push untuk yang menginginkannya. Anda dapat melihat preferensi di tes wiki. Tujuannya untuk mendapatkan notifikasi push di Android pada bulan Oktober dan di iOS pada awal 2021. [137]
• Anda dapat segera menempatkan halaman di daftar pantauan Anda untuk waktu yang terbatas. Ini bisa berguna jika Anda ingin menonton sesuatu untuk waktu yang lebih singkat tetapi tidak ingin ada di daftar pantauan Anda selamanya. Sekarang berfungsi di mediawiki.org dan akan datang ke lebih banyak wiki nanti. Anda dapat membaca lebih lanjut dan melihat kapan akan masuk ke wiki lain.
• Anda dapat melihat alat teknis baru terbaik tahun ini menurut pengguna Wikimedia. Anda juga dapat mencalonkan mereka.

Recent changes

• There is a new tool where you can see which home wiki users have in discussions on Meta. This can help show which communities are not part of the discussion on wikis where we make decisions that affect many other wikis.
• You can now thank users for file uploads or for changing the language of a page. [138]

Problems

• There were many errors with the new MediaWiki version last week. The new version was rolled back. Updates that should have happened last week are late. [139]
• Everyone was logged out. This was because a user reported being logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now. [140]
• Many pages have JavaScript errors. You can read more and now see a list of user scripts with errors.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 October. It will be on all wikis from 8 October (calendar).
• Letters immediately after a link are shown as part of the link. For example the entire word in [[Child]]ren is linked. On Arabic wikis this works at both the start and end of a word. Previously on Arabic wikis numbers and other non-letter Unicode characters were shown as part of the link at the start of a word but not at the end. Now only Latin and Arabic letters will extend links on Arabic wikis. [141]

Future changes

• You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on 27 October around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [142]

Perubahan terbaru

• Anda tidak dapat lagi membaca wiki yang dioperasikan oleh Wikimedia Foundation (Wikipedia, Wikitionary, Wikibooks, dll.) jika browser Anda menggunakan TLS yang sangat tua. Ini karena versi TLS lama adalah masalah keamanan bagi semua orang. Itu bisa menyebabkan serangan downgrade. Sejak 29 Oktober 2020, pengguna yang menggunakan versi TLS lama tidak akan dapat terhubung ke proyek Wikimedia. Daftar rekomendasi browser tersedia. Semua sistem operasi dan browser modern masih dapat mengakses proyek Wikimedia. [156]
• Tersedia kategori pelacakan otomatis baru: Halaman dengan argumen formatnum non-numerik. Ini mengumpulkan halaman yang menggunakan fungsi parser {{formatnum}} dengan input yang tidak sah (non-numerik), misalnya {{formatnum:TECHNEWS}}. {{formatnum:123,456}} juga merupakan input yang tidak sah: seperti yang dijelaskan dalam dokumentasi, argumen harus tidak diformat sehingga dapat dilokalkan dengan benar. Kategori pelacakan akan membantu mengidentifikasi penggunaan yang bermasalah dan pemformatan ganda. Nama kategori pelacakan baru dapat diterjemahkan di translatewiki. [157]

Perubahan kedepannya minggu ini

• Versi terbaru dari MediaWiki akan tersedia di test wiki dan MediaWiki.org pada 3 November. Ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 4 November. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 5 November (kalender).
• Sekarang, Pengurus dan steward dapat menggunakan halaman khusus (Special: CreateLocalAccount) untuk memaksa pembuatan akun lokal untuk akun global. Ini berguna ketika pembuatan akun diblokir untuk pengguna tersebut (oleh blok atau filter). [158]
• Alat Reply (Balas) akan ditawarkan sebagai fitur beta yang harus diaktifkan oleh pengguna di sebagian besar wiki Wikipedia pada hari Rabu, 4 November, kecuali Wikipedia bahasa Inggris, Rusia, dan Jerman, serta beberapa wiki Wikipedia yang lebih kecil dengan keadaan khusus. Anda dapat membaca halaman bantuan dan panduan pemecahan masalah untuk informasi lebih lanjut. [159]

Perubahan mendatang

• Diskusi telah diulangi tentang penggunaan tanda minus Unicode (− U+2212) pada hasil dari {{formatnum}} ketika diberikan argumen negatif. [160]
• Di masa depan, alamat IP pengguna yang tidak terdaftar tidak akan ditampilkan untuk semua orang. Mereka akan mendapatkan alias sebagai gantinya. Akan ada hak pengguna baru atau fungsi opt-in bagi pelawan vandal lainnya untuk melihat IP pengguna yang tidak terdaftar. Akan ada beberapa kriteria tentang siapa yang mendapatkan hak atau opt-in. Akan ada alat baru lainnya untuk membantu menangani vandalisme. Ini masih dalam proses awal dan para pengembang masih mengumpulkan informasi dari komunitas-komunitas sebelum mereka menyarankan solusi.

• Anda bisa melihat pratinjau referensi. Ini menampilkan pratinjau catatan kaki ketika kursor diarahkan diatasnya. Saat ini, fitur ini merupakan fitur beta. Ini akan keluar dari beta dan akan otomatis diaktifkan. Akan ada pilihan untuk menonaktifkannya. Para pengembang sedang mencari wiki berukuran kecil atau sedang untuk menjadi wiki pertama dengan fitur ini. Anda dapat memberi tahu mereka jika wiki Anda tertarik. [161]
• Mulai 16 November, kategori tidak akan diurutkan secara berurutan untuk waktu yang singkat. Ini karena pengembang akan memperbarui pustaka internasionalisasi. Mereka akan menggunakan skrip untuk memperbaiki kategori yang ada. Ini bisa memakan waktu beberapa jam atau beberapa hari tergantung seberapa besar wikinya. Anda dapat membaca lebih lanjut.
