Tech News: 2021-12

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

Problems

  • You will be able to read but not edit twelve wikis for a short period of time on 23 March at 06:00 (UTC). This can also affect password changes, logging in to new wikis, global renames and changing or confirming emails. This could take 30 minutes but will probably be much faster.

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 March. It will be on all wikis from 25 March (calendar).
  • Syntax highlighting colours will change to be easier to read. This will soon come to the first wikis. [1]

Future changes

  • Flagged revisions will no longer have multiple tags like "tone" or "depth". It will also only have one tier. This was changed because very few wikis used these features and they make the tool difficult to maintain. [2][3]
  • Advanced item Gadgets and user scripts can access variables about the current page in JavaScript. In 2015 this was moved from wg* to mw.config. wg* will soon no longer work. [4]

DYK for Barnham Court

On 24 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Barnham Court, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Barnham Court in West Sussex is built in a similar style to Kew Palace in London? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Barnham Court. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Barnham Court), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 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.

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Coppa Italia finals/archive3

I've read this sentence at least a million times but I don't understand what you mean. Sorting on Coppa Italia finals table doesn't work properly because of the columns that say the scores on aggregate, and get bundled up together when sorting.

However, I have now learned the mistakes you and others mentioned in the WP: ANI and I won't participate in GAs and FLs discussions until at least December. Dr Salvus 21:40, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bosnia national team

The original users who were pushing this template come from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/National_teams and you didn't even give a day for other people to come in and debate this template change. Stop claiming WP:OWN, hundreds of people edit this page and I have never reverted anyone. Have fun allowing this page to decay as the users who pushed this change don't care about this page and only want to push this template change on every national team, I'm over this. Good job pushing legitimate wikipedia users out without so much as any discussion.Bihnt123 (talk) 23:19, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The point of a template approach is to have consistency. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:52, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Barnston Manor

On 27 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Barnston Manor, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 13th-century Barnston Manor was owned by the same family for 700 years before being put up for sale in 2018? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Barnston Manor. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Barnston Manor), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 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.

DYK for Marjan Haydaree

On 27 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Marjan Haydaree, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that when Marjan Haydaree became the all-time top scorer for the Afghanistan women's national football team, she had never set foot in Afghanistan? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Marjan Haydaree. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Marjan Haydaree), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

DYK nomination of 2021 British Athletics Marathon and 20km Walk Trial

Hello! Your submission of 2021 British Athletics Marathon and 20km Walk Trial at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! SounderBruce 06:44, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

For your comments at the ANI thread - they were very much appreciated. Take care. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 20:28, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well it was a stupid thread. Their argument was about guidelines, so they should have brought it up at a discussion page, rather than picking on you. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:16, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2021-13

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

  • Some very old web browsers don’t work well with the Wikimedia wikis. Some old code for browsers that used to be supported is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. [5]
  • Advanced item IRC recent changes feeds have been moved to a new server. Make sure all tools automatically reconnect to irc.wikimedia.org and not to the name of any specific server. Users should also consider switching to the more modern EventStreams. [6]

Problems

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split. It might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. [7]
  • Some translatable pages on Meta could not be edited. This was because of a bug in the translation tool. The new MediaWiki version was delayed because of problems like this. [8][9]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 March. It will be on all wikis from 1 April (calendar).

Running SNG

Hi there. You've most likely seen the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports). It has made me rethink the running SNG and seeing as you are one of the only other users who contributes in this area, I just wanted to hear your thoughts. The modern running SNG was written in 2010 and seems to have been written by just one user ([10]). That was 11 years ago and running, especially long-distance has changed an awful lot. Participation has greatly increased and the marathon world record has decreased by over two minutes. Therefore, I think some changes need to be made. For example, number 1. of WP:NATH Have competed in the Olympics, the IAAF World Championships in Athletics, the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics, the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, or the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships (former IAAF World Road Running Championships). seems a little lax in the sense that the 2020 World Athletics Half Marathon Championships had runners in the 1:10s which is a long way off international level. Also number 2. Finished top 8 in a competition at the highest level outside of the Olympic Games and world championships seems a little strict seeing as the 10th place finishers in the men's race decreased by 7 minutes between the 2010 London Marathon and 2020 London Marathon. These are just a couple of thoughts and I wanted to see what you had to say. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 11:20, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good job on the creation of female footballers articles! Very glad to see full formed articles (as opposed to one-line stubs)! Keep it up :) --SuperJew (talk) 19:40, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Téné Birahima Ouattara

On 5 April 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Téné Birahima Ouattara, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ivorian politican Téné Birahima Ouattara, the brother of the country's president, is nicknamed "Photocopy" due to their similar appearance? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Téné Birahima Ouattara. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Téné Birahima Ouattara), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Tech News: 2021-14

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

  • Editors can collapse part of an article so you have to click on it to see it. When you click a link to a section inside collapsed content it will now expand to show the section. The browser will scroll down to the section. Previously such links didn't work unless you manually expanded the content first. [11]

Changes later this week

  • Advanced item The citoid API will use for example 2010-12-XX instead of 2010-12 for dates with a month but no days. This is because 2010-12 could be confused with 2010-2012 instead of December 2010. This is called level 1 instead of level 0 in the Extended Date/Time Format. [12]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 April. It will be on all wikis from 8 April (calendar).

Future changes

  • Advanced item PAWS can now connect to the new Wiki Replicas. Cross-database JOINS will no longer work from 28 April. There is a new way to connect to the databases. Until 28 April both ways to connect to the databases will work. If you think this affects you and you need help you can post on Phabricator or on Wikitech.
