呢版係以往討論嘅歸檔，請唔好改呢版。如果你想發起新嘅討論或者重開家下嘅討論，請係家下討論頁做，唔該。

技術新聞：2023年第02週

就算啲改動唔影響你，都麻煩你將消息傳開去⸺維基媒體技術社羣帶畀你最新嘅技術新聞⸺唔想睇粵文？有得揀！

最近嘅事

• 睇最近修改同睇監視清單嗰陣一向都可以用標籤做篩選，但係只係可以202揀睇有邊啲標籤嘅修改；而今你可以掉轉，排除有嗰啲標籤嘅嘢。 [1]
• Special:邊度鏈去呢版（即係 ｢有乜連過嚟｣，即係睇有邊啲版連去某一版嘅功能）而今整咗個幫版名排次序嘅原型，相關討論請去 Phabricator 睇 ticket。
• ｢多謝｣ 功能而今可以喺監視清單同用戶貢獻都用得到。 [2]
• 用搬版功能改版名嘅時候，寫原因而今可以喺清單揀一啲常用嘅原因，等唔使下下都要寫解釋。 [3]
• Matrix 係一個網上傾偈嘅架生，而今你可以喺維基嘅版面度寫 matrix: 連去 Matrix。 [4]
• 喺多語言嘅維基度睇 ｢最近更改｣，一直都可以篩走翻譯，但係以前翻譯如果係自成一版嘅話會篩唔走，而今爾類子頁面亦都可以篩走。 [5]

本週嘅事

• Realtime preview for wikitext（源碼編輯即時睇下先）可以畀改文嘅你用源碼編輯嘅時候，即時睇睇改咗嘅版面會係乜樣;遲啲，只要你開咗 ｢易用編輯架生列｣（2010 wikitext editor），都會可以用爾個功能，到時，只要喺易用編輯架生列度搵，就會搵到。
• 部分維基將會轉主數據庫，受影響嘅維基喺切換期間會改唔到嘢，爾個狀態只會維持幾分鐘；受影響嘅維基將會分兩批做切換，第一批喺世界協調時1月10號朝早7點，第二批喺12號朝早7點。
• 1月10號起， MediaWiki.org 同所有測試用嘅維基將會行新版嘅 MediaWiki，11號起部份維基百科同所有唔係維基百科嘅維基會行新版，12號起所有維基行新版（睇日曆）。

故障簡報

• 喺 ｢最近修改｣ 睇紀錄，｢之前｣ 嘅拎而今會寫 ｢diff=prev&oldid=[revision ID]｣，唔寫 ｢diff=[revision ID]&oldid=[revision ID]｣。咁改係因為用標籤篩選嘅時候，顯示有乜唔同嗰陣，舊碼會顯示錯誤；新碼修正咗錯誤顯示，但係自訂嘅 script 可能會因此出錯。 [6]

• 喺討論頁，一啲原本只係喺 Talk: 同 User talk: 空間至有嘅外觀改動，將會擴展到其他種類嘅討論頁（例如 Wikipedia talk:），但係唔係討論頁嘅其他版面（例如 Wikipedia: 嘅頁面，例如 ｢城市論壇｣）將會繼續唔改動。喜好可以自訂（可能涉及測試功能）。 [7]
• 喺維基文庫，當一幅圖喺 ｢Page｣ 空間（版面空間）放大、縮細或者旭動過，點放大、縮細或者旭動將會記住，日後喺其他 ｢Page｣ 空間嘅版面，只要係連咗去同一個 ｢Index｣ 空間（版面一覽），都會一樣咁放大、縮細或者旭動。 [8]

技術新聞：2023年第19週

就算啲改動唔影響你，都麻煩你將消息傳開去⸺維基媒體技術社羣帶畀你最新嘅技術新聞⸺唔想睇粵文？有得揀！

最近嘅事

• 用 MediaViewer 睇圖嗰陣，撳閂掣而今會返篇文而唔會盲目咁按瀏覽器嘅瀏覽歷史退後；爾個新功能喺2023年度嘅 ｢社羣願望清單｣ 意見調查排第六十五. [72]
• ｢wikitext｣ 而今係 SyntaxHighlight 擴展功能支援嘅語言之一，以前夾硬要寫 ｢html5｣、｢moin｣、｢html+handlebars｣ 而今可以寫返正寫。 [73]
• 喺文章或者段落事先載入文字嘅功能而今可以載入本地化咗嘅 MediaWiki 介面訊息，喺捷克文維基百科有例睇，用咗嘅係 preload=MediaWiki:July。 [74]

故障簡報

• 有關統計圖表擴展功能嘅最新進展：維基媒體嘅開發人員已經將統計圖畫圖軟件升級到 Vega5，但係因為爾個版本同社羣當中用緊嘅 Vega2 統計圖並唔兼容，所以本地維基嘅所有統計圖、模同例如 de:Modul:Graph 嘅公共 Lua 模組全部都要改。點樣由 Vega2 轉 Vega5，目前最詳䀆嘅說明係《Vega Porting guide》，例子可以睇爾個。mediawiki.org 啱啱開咗 Vega5，任何社羣想做測試可以喺嗰度做。 [75]

本週嘅事

• 5月9號起， MediaWiki.org 同所有測試用嘅維基將會行新版嘅 MediaWiki，10號起部份維基百科同所有唔係維基百科嘅維基會行新版，11號起所有維基行新版（睇日曆）。
• 之前，所有新嘅 OAuth app 都要人手睇有冇問題，今個星期開始，用 identification-only 或者基本認證（basic authorization）嘅 app 都唔使睇。 [76]

將來嘅事

• 喺下年，MediaWiki 會停用 IP 位址來記錄冇簽到嘅用戶，取而代之嘅係一種唔會撞名嘅臨時用戶名，詳情睇IP 編輯嘅私隱同防止濫用/最新消息，你可以就臨時用戶名嘅格式參與討論。 [77]
• 10 個預設外觀係 Vector 2022 嘅維基百科會進行A/B 測試，一半用家嘅介面，畫面上面唔同部分會分開得清楚啲，詳情睇爾度。 [78][79]
• jquery.tipsy 將會由 MediaWiki 嘅主程式（core）鏟走，一啲自訂嘅 Javascript（user scripts）會受影響，但係用 .tipsy( 嘅碼好多都可以就咁閂咗佢（comment out）；如果要保持現有功能可以用 OO.ui.PopupWidget 替代。詳情睇爾度，另外可以睇埋點搵會壞嘅自訂 Javascript。 [80]

將來嘅事

• 維基媒體基金會最新成立咗研究新架生嘅工作小組，目前整緊一個擴充模組原型，用來畀喺維基媒體嘅轄下維基用用 ChatGPT 幫手寫嘢嗰陣可以正確引用出處。
• 如果有寫架生仔或者自訂 Javascript（userscripts）唔該將 ｢jquery.cookie｣ 全部改用 ｢mediawiki.cookie｣，因為 ｢jquery.cookie｣ 函式庫會喺大概一個月內鏟走，到時維基媒體嘅工作人員會用機械人將未改嘅改嗮佢。 [83]

Tech News: 2023-24

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 content attribution tools Who Wrote That?, XTools Authorship, and XTools Blame now support the Dutch, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Japanese, Polish and Portuguese Wikipedias. This was the #7 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [94]
• The Search Preview panel has been deployed on four Wikipedias (Catalan, Dutch, Hungarian and Norwegian). The panel will show an image related to the article (if existing), the top sections of the article, related images (coming from MediaSearch on Commons), and eventually the sister projects associated with the article. [95]
• The RealMe extension now allows administrators to verify URLs for any page, for Mastodon and similar software. [96]
• The default project license has been officially upgraded to CC BY-SA 4.0. The software interface messages have been updated. Communities should feel free to start updating any mentions of the old CC BY-SA 3.0 licensing within policies and related documentation pages. [97]

Problems

• For three days last month, some Wikipedia pages edited with VisualEditor or DiscussionTools had an unintended __TOC__ (or its localized form) added during an edit. There is a listing of affected pages sorted by wiki, that may still need to be fixed. [98]
• Currently, the "呢版預設排成" feature in VisualEditor is broken. Existing {{DEFAULTSORT:...}} keywords incorrectly appear as missing templates in VisualEditor. Developers are exploring how to fix this. In the meantime, those wishing to edit the default sortkey of a page are advised to switch to source editing. [99]
• Last week, an update to the delete form may have broken some gadgets or user scripts. If you need to manipulate (empty) the reason field, replace #wpReason with #wpReason > input. See an example fix. [100]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 June. It will be on all wikis from 15 June (calendar).
• VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on English Wikipedia on Monday, and all other large wikis on Thursday. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here. [101]

Future changes

• From 5 June to 17 July, the Foundation's Security team is holding a consultation with contributors regarding a draft policy to govern the use of third-party resources in volunteer-developed gadgets and scripts. Feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome at Third-party resources policy on meta-wiki.

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 Action API modules and Special:LinkSearch will now add a trailing / to all prop=extlinks responses for bare domains. This is part of the work to remove duplication in the externallinks database table. [106]

Problems

• Last week, search was broken on Commons and Wikidata for 23 hours. [107][108]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 June. It will be on all wikis from 29 June (calendar).
• The Minerva skin now applies more predefined styles to the .mbox-text CSS class. This enables support for mbox templates that use divs instead of tables. Please make sure that the new styles won't affect other templates in your wiki. [109][110]
• Gadgets will now load on both desktop and mobile by default. Previously, gadgets loaded only on desktop by default. Changing this default using the |targets= parameter is also deprecated and should not be used. You should make gadgets work on mobile or disable them based on the skin (with the |skins= parameter in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition) rather than whether the user uses the mobile or the desktop website. Popular gadgets that create errors on mobile will be disabled by developers on the Minerva skin as a temporary solution. [111]
• All namespace tabs now have the same browser access key by default. Previously, custom and extension-defined namespaces would have to have their access keys set manually on-wiki, but that is no longer necessary. [112]
• The review form of the Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standardized user interface components. [113]

Future changes

• How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will change in the coming weeks at group2 wikis. This change improves the accessibility of content. You may need to update your site-CSS, or userscripts and gadgets. There are details on what code to check, how to update the code, and where to report any related problems. [114]

Tech News: 2023-28

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 Section-level Image Suggestions feature has been deployed on seven Wikipedias (Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Catalan, Hungarian, Finnish and Norwegian Bokmål). The feature recommends images for articles on contributors' watchlists that are a good match for individual sections of those articles.
• Global abuse filters have been enabled on all Wikimedia projects, except English and Japanese Wikipedias (who opted out). This change was made following a global request for comments. [117]
• Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool for administrators to help fight spam. It provides a clearer interface for blocking plain domains (and their subdomains), is more easily searchable, and is faster for the software to process for each edit on the wiki. It does not support regex (for complex cases), nor URL path-matching, nor the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist, but otherwise it replaces most of the functionalities of the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. There is a Python script to help migrate all simple domains into this tool, and more feature details, within the tool's documentation. It is available at all wikis except for Meta-wiki, Commons, and Wikidata. [118]
• The WikiEditor extension was updated. It includes some of the most frequently used features of wikitext editing. In the past, many of its messages could only be translated by administrators, but now all regular translators on translatewiki can translate them. Please check the state of WikiEditor localization into your language, and if the "Completion" for your language shows anything less than 100%, please complete the translation. See a more detailed explanation.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 July. It will be on all wikis from 13 July (calendar).
• The default protocol of Special:搵連結 and API counterparts has changed from http to both http and https. [119]
• Special:搵連結 and its API counterparts will now search for all of the URL provided in the query. It used to be only the first 60 characters. This feature was requested fifteen years ago. [120]

Future changes

• There is an experiment with a ChatGPT plugin. This is to show users where the information is coming from when they read information from Wikipedia. It has been tested by Wikimedia Foundation staff and other Wikimedians. Soon all ChatGPT plugin users can use the Wikipedia plugin. This is the same plugin which was mentioned in Tech News 2023/20. [121]
• There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed Third-party resources policy. The proposal will impact the use of third-party resources in gadgets and userscripts. Based on the ideas received so far, policy includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, some best practices and exemption requirements such as code transparency and inspectability. Your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on on the policy talk page.

Recent changes

• We are now serving 1% of all global user traffic from Kubernetes (you can read more technical details). We are planning to increment this percentage regularly. You can follow the progress of this work.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 July. It will be on all wikis from 20 July (calendar).
• MediaWiki system messages will now look for available local fallbacks, instead of always using the default fallback defined by software. This means wikis no longer need to override each language on the fallback chain separately. For example, English Wikipedia doesn't have to create en-ca and en-gb subpages with a transclusion of the base pages anymore. This makes it easier to maintain local overrides. [122]
• The action=growthsetmentorstatus API will be deprecated with the new MediaWiki version. Bots or scripts calling that API should use the action=growthmanagementorlist API now. [123]

• The Wikipedia ChatGPT plugin experiment can now be used by ChatGPT users who can use plugins. You can participate in a video call if you want to talk about this experiment or similar work. [126]

Problems

• It was not possible to generate a PDF for pages with non-Latin characters in the title, for the last two weeks. This has now been fixed. [127]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 August. It will be on all wikis from 3 August (calendar).
