Tech News: 2021-36

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 wikis that have Growth features deployed have been part of A/B testing since deployment, in which some newcomers did not receive the new features. Now, all of the newcomers on 21 of the smallest of those wikis will be receiving the features. [1]

Changes later this week

There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

In 2017, the provided jQuery library was upgraded from version 1 to 3, with a compatibility layer. The migration will soon finish, to make the site load faster for everyone. If you maintain a gadget or user script, check if you have any JQMIGRATE errors and fix them, or they will break. [2][3]
Last year, the Portuguese Wikipedia community embarked on an experiment to make log-in compulsory for editing. The impact report of this trial is ready. Moving forward, the Anti-Harassment Tools team is looking for projects that are willing to experiment with restricting IP editing on their wiki for a short-term experiment. Learn more.

September 2021

I've noticed that you are creating pages in draft space and releasing them to article space when they do not meet the criteria for inclusion. Also, many of the new articles you have created from scratch are borderline in terms of notability. The point of draft space is that it allows you to work on a new article and then submit it for review by other editors, who will give you useful advice if improvement is needed. Please do this in future, otherwise you will find some of your articles get deleted. Deb (talk) 10:24, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Tech News: 2021-37

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

45 new Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features. [4]
A majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features. The Growth team has published an FAQ page about the features. This translatable FAQ covers the description of the features, how to use them, how to change the configuration, and more.

Problems

All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 14 September. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. [5]

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 September. It will be on all wikis from 16 September (calendar).
Starting this week, Wikipedia in Italian will receive weekly software updates on Wednesdays. It used to receive the updates on Thursdays. Due to this change, bugs will be noticed and fixed sooner. [6]
You can add language links in the sidebar in the new Vector skin again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet. [7]
The syntax highlight tool marks up code with different colours. It now can highlight 23 new code languages. Additionally, golang can now be used as an alias for the Go programming language, and a special output mode has been added to show a program's output. [8][9]

Tech News: 2021-38

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

Growth features are now deployed to almost all Wikipedias. For the majority of small Wikipedias, the features are only available for experienced users, to test the features and configure them. Features will be available for newcomers starting on 20 September 2021.
MediaWiki had a feature that would highlight local links to short articles in a different style. Each user could pick the size at which "stubs" would be highlighted. This feature was very bad for performance, and following a consultation, has been removed. [10]
A technical change was made to the MonoBook skin to allow for easier maintenance and upkeep. This has resulted in some minor changes to HTML that make MonoBook's HTML consistent with other skins. Efforts have been made to minimize the impact on editors, but please ping Jon (WMF) on wiki or in phabricator if any problems are reported.

Problems

There was a problem with search last week. Many search requests did not work for 2 hours because of an accidental restart of the search servers. [11]

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 September. It will be on all wikis from 23 September (calendar).
The meta=proofreadpage API has changed. The piprop parameter has been renamed to prpiprop. API users should update their code to avoid unrecognized parameter warnings. Pywikibot users should upgrade to 6.6.0. [12]

Future changes

The Reply tool will be deployed to the remaining wikis in the coming weeks. It is currently part of "Discussion tools" in Beta features at most wikis. You will be able to turn it off in Editing Preferences. [13]
The previously announced change to how you obtain tokens from the API has been delayed to September 21 because of an incompatibility with Pywikibot. Bot operators using Pywikibot can follow T291202 for progress on a fix, and should plan to upgrade to 6.6.1 when it is released.

DYK for Noliwe Rooks

On 21 September 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Noliwe Rooks, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Noliwe Rooks coined the term "segrenomics" to describe a system of separate, segregated, and unequal education created by the privatization and deregulation of American public education? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Noliwe Rooks. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Noliwe Rooks), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Notice about Draft:Oomyzus gallerucae

Notice about this draft. As this is something that you should note. Please fill out more when you create it, as short pages are more likely to get tagged and deleted. This is a problem that many others have experienced and its annoying, even for the best of us, by doing this you reduce the likelihood of that this will happen. MoonlightVector 17:37, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice. I’ll try to remember that when I create future drafts. Best, Thriley (talk) 17:50, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
