[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.
Weekly highlight
- Interested in improving event management on your home wiki? The CampaignEvents extension offers organizers features like event registration management, event/wikiproject promotion, finding potential participants, and more - all directly on-wiki. If you are an organizer or think your community would benefit from this extension, start a discussion to enable it on your wiki today. To learn more about how to enable this extension on your wiki, visit the deployment status page.
Updates for editors
- Users of the iOS Wikipedia App in Italy and Mexico on the Italian, Spanish, and English Wikipedias, can see a personalized Year in Review with insights based on their reading and editing history.
- Users of the Android Wikipedia App in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia can see the new Rabbit Holes feature. This feature shows a suggested search term in the Search bar based on the current article being viewed, and a suggested reading list generated from the user’s last two visited articles.
- The global reminder bot is now active and running on nearly 800 wikis. This service reminds most users holding temporary rights when they are about to expire, so that they can renew should they want to. See the technical details page for more information.
- The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 13 January 2025 because of the end of year holidays. Thank you to all of the translators, and people who submitted content or feedback, this year.
View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug was fixed in the Android Wikipedia App which had caused translatable SVG images to show the wrong language when they were tapped.
Updates for technical contributors
- There is no new MediaWiki version next week. The next deployments will start on 14 January. [1]

Notes at the Requests page
[edit]Hi Fluffernutter, just a note about the GOCE Requests page. As you may know, that page is regularly archived by a bot, which removes the request about 24 hours after someone posts {{Done}} followed by a sig and a timestamp there. Any notes you leave for requesters or project coordinators will be removed as well. For that reason, it's usually best to leave notes for requesters on their talk pages, and notes for coordinators and the wider copy-editing community on the Requests page talk (REQ Talk), where discussions can continue uninterrupted. Some of us usually copy them over to REQ talk for future reference. Thanks for your work and understanding. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 10:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC).
- @Baffle gab1978: Aha! I had noticed you copying my comments to the talk page and started to wonder why, just hadn't gotten my attention span around to actually asking yet. Thank you so much for the clarification, and for cleaning up after me. I'll start using requester talk pages :) Fluffernutter (talk) 12:16, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, thanks for understanding. It's fine to leave short messages there but they may be archived if they become a discussion. These conversations are sometimes useful for recording how we dealt with past situations. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 06:52, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- From the archives: Where to draw the line in reporting?
- Recent research: "Wikipedia editors are quite prosocial", but those motivated by "social image" may put quantity over quality
- Gallery: A feast of holidays and carols
- Traffic report: Was a long and dark December
