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

Recent changes

  • Pages that use the JSON contentmodel will now use tabs instead of spaces for auto-indentation. This will significantly reduce the page size. [4]
  • Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the requiresES6 option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future. [5]
  • Bot passwords and owner-only OAuth consumers can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages. [6]
  • You can now thank edits made by bots. [7]
  • An update on the status of the Community Wishlist Survey for 2024 has been published. Please read and give your feedback.

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar). [8][9]
  • Starting on January 17, it will not be possible to login to Wikimedia wikis from some specific old versions of the Chrome browser (versions 51–66, released between 2016 and 2018). Additionally, users of iOS 12, or Safari on Mac OS 10.14, may need to login to each wiki separately. [10]
  • The jquery.cookie module was deprecated and replaced with the mediawiki.cookie module last year. A script has now been run to replace any remaining uses, and this week the temporary alias will be removed. [11]

  • Starting Monday January 29, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they are looking for, even if this comment was moved elsewhere. This will affect all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. You can read more about this change on Diff or on Mediawiki.org. [15]
  • There are some improvements to the CAPTCHA to make it harder for spam bots and scripts to bypass it. If you have feedback on this change, please comment on the task. Staff are monitoring metrics related to the CAPTCHA, as well as secondary metrics such as account creations and edit counts.

  • On February 1, a link will be added to the "Tools" menu to download a QR code that links to the page you are viewing. There will also be a new Special:QrKodu page to create QR codes for any Wikimedia URL. This addresses the #19 most-voted wish from the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [18]
  • Gadgets which only work in some skins have sometimes used the targets option to limit where you can use them. This will stop working this week. You should use the skins option instead. [19]

Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia Newsletter #141 is out: The Igbo Imperative!

There is a new update for Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions. Please, come and read it!

In this issue, we focus on language functions in Igbo, a language spoken by more than 44 million people in South-Eastern Nigeria. Also, we take a look at the latest software developments.

Starting from this issue, the status updates will be hosted on Wikifunctions, instead of Meta. One more step towards maturation of the project!

Want to catch up with the previous updates? Check our archive (on Meta)!

Also, we remind you that if you have questions or ideas to discuss, the next Volunteers' Corner will be held on February 5, at 18:30 UTC (link to the meeting).

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

Recent changes

  • The mobile site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to the phabricator task.
  • On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity. Learn more about "action blocks". [20][21]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar). [22][23]
  • Talk pages permalinks that included diacritics and non-Latin script were malfunctioning. This issue is fixed. [24]

Future changes

  • 24 Wikipedias with Reference Tooltips as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make Reference Previews the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings. [25][26]

Wayne Eyre

Hey, how about using File:2023 Halifax International Security Forum (53470564615).jpg or File:2023 Halifax International Security Forum (53470557810).jpg for the article photo? The February 2024 photo just looks odd to me. // sikander { talk } 🦖 04:22, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

@Sikander, that "odd" look you mentioned above, is the General standing at attention during the Change of Command for United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).
Each photo has strengths and weaknesses. My crop shows insignia and ribbon bars very similar to the now outdated (due to his 2021 promotion) 2018 official photo. I think my cropped photo is the best at this time. Thank you for asking. -- Ooligan (talk) 17:36, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi Ooligan, the February photo looks odd because it is a low-angle shot looking up at the subject, is taken from far below eye-level, and the person is looking away with a non-neutral expression.
Rather than responding about suggestion 1 or suggestion 2, you seem to have taken this personally (even though you are not the photographer) and applied the word "odd" to the event, to the physical stance of the person, and to the subject of the photo with an implication of disrespect towards all. This is very unnecessary, and frankly a bit insulting.
Anyways, good day. // sikander { talk } 🦖 18:58, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, @Sikander. You asked for my opinion and I gave it to you. I have not "taken this personally" as you assume, however, I gave my personal opinion as you had requested. I do appreciate your question and I thank you for asking. We can disagree and still be civil.
You wrote, "Hey how about using ..." and you gave two suggested photo links. I did look at your two suggested photos. I decided not to use either of your suggestions, because of this better photo.
Nothing in my response is disrespectful, nor insulting. As you wrote about me above, perhaps, "you seem to have taken this personally."
Before your first question on my talk page, I had politely, reverted your edit that restored an outdated 2018 photo. That year General Eyre had a lower military rank than today. I also added an archival source link to the page to back up this factual claim. I did not take "that personally," but instead pointed to the fact of the change in this Canadian General Officer's rank in 2021, which made the use of this 2018 photo obsolete.
I have noticed that you have done much great work for many years. Thank you, -- Ooligan (talk) 22:32, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi Ooligan, thank you for your follow-up.
In fact I totally agree with your explanation for why the Feb 2024 photo is better a fit since it has updated insignia and ribbons. I suggested the two other photos thinking that you are more-knowledgeable about this and might want to consider them.
Instead the response was: that "odd" look you mentioned above is the General standing at attention during the Change of Command which is not at all about the two suggestions but about word choice, the person in the photo, and the act they are engaged in. If the reply had started at "Each photo has strengths and weaknesses..", then we are being civil and discussing the topic and suggestion. Instead the response was about the word "odd" and that you seem to disagree with the choice of the word and wanted to point out that the general is at attention (with links to the article in case the reader does not know what it means). This is where it felt like a personal response directed at me instead of a response about the topic on hand.
Let's not argue further We've both explained ourselves and I am satisfied and I hope you are as well.
I have also noticed your contributions across Wikimedia sites and I wish you all the best in your efforts since we're trying to make the Internet a better place.
Happy editing Thumbs up icon // sikander { talk } 🦖 23:32, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

  • The mobile visual editor is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis. Research shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as well. [41]
  • The mw.config value wgGlobalGroups now only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is: if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups"))). [42]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be on all wikis from 29 February (calendar). [43][44]

Future changes

  • The right to change edit tags (changetags) will be removed from users in Wikimedia sites, keeping it by default for admins and bots only. Your community can ask to retain the old configuration on your wiki before this change happens. Please indicate in this ticket to keep it for your community before the end of March 2024.

  • Maintenance on etherpad is completed. If you encounter any issues, please indicate in this ticket.
  • Gadgets allow interface admins to create custom features with CSS and JavaScript. The Gadget and Gadget_definition namespaces and gadgets-definition-edit user right were reserved for an experiment in 2015, but were never used. These were visible on Special:Search and Special:ListGroupRights. The unused namespaces and user rights are now removed. No pages are moved, and no changes need to be made. [46]
  • A usability improvement to the "Add a citation" in Wikipedia workflow has been made, the insert button was moved to the popup header. [47]

  • The HTML markup of headings and section edit links will be changed later this year to improve accessibility. See Heading HTML changes for details. The new markup will be the same as in the new Parsoid wikitext parser. You can test your gadget or stylesheet with the new markup if you add ?useparsoid=1 to your URL (more info) or turn on Parsoid read views in your user options (more info).
