Tech News: 2016-05

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

Problems

  • Sites with a wikimedia.org address were by mistake redirected to the Wikimedia Foundation wiki on 26 January. This included Meta and Wikimedia Commons. The mistake was fixed after an hour. [1]
  • Some users had problems logging in and out around 22 January. Bots also had problems and edit previews did not work properly. This was because of problems related to the new component SessionManager. It was undone on 23 January. [2][3]
  • Because of new problems with SessionManager the latest version of MediaWiki was removed from the Wikimedia wikis again on 31 January. The new version this week will be without SessionManager. [4]

Changes this week

  • The page history will get a help link. This will go to Help:Page history on Meta. Wikis can exchange it for a link to their local pages. [5]
  • Notifications will only show part of a page name if it is very long. You will also have another way to mark notifications as read. [6][7]
  • The Universal Language Selector input methods are now available with the visual editor. This means many who write in non-Latin scripts can now use the visual editor. [8]
  • The visual editor will now give you more tools to edit tables. You can move rows and columns in a table and copy parts of tables to make new ones. You can also copy and paste more than one cell at the same time. [9][10][11]
  • The visual editor has a new warning message when you leave a page you are editing without saving. Non-English wikis might need to translate it. [12][13]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 February. It will be on all wikis from 4 February (calendar).

Meetings

Future changes

  • The rest.wikimedia.org domain will be shut down. This is planned to happen in March. You should use /api/rest_v1/ at each individual project domain instead. [14]

Laura Jepsen

This is a bio stub, under the references the website listed for the Timeline, (first reference), the name of the domain is incorrectly spelled, should be Friends instead of Freinds, thanks for update, 2601:4C0:8004:5035:DD77:3872:9870:8477 (talk) 17:15, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Phil saeymour

Thank you for the wonderful memories of Phil Seymour. He was my husband of 41+ years and an amazing person to have spent many years with. I started dating Phil in high school and was fortunate to have been with him through his college years... He was truly a very talented, brilliant and beautiful person throughout his life. I don't know why you singled him out for wikipideea, but I, along with our three wonderful children have enjoyed reliving these few short years of his life. Thank you for recognizing this amazing man. Julie Seymour — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:40D:8101:3458:0:0:0:A626 (talk) 03:02, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Commons:File:StingrayLiteTVlogo.png

Hello, Josve05a. Could you please take a look at this file on Commons? This file still has the No permission since tag, but the permission for this file is obvious or is not required. I think that this file below COM:TOO is PD-textlogo, thanks for update. XPanettaa (talk) 22:41, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Recent changes

  • Thanks to the Graph extension and Pageview API, we now have {{Graph:PageViews}} templates that can show pageviews for any wiki page for any of the wikis. See the examples.
  • The Capiunto extension is installed on test wiki. Capiunto provides flexible infobox functionality for Scribunto and generates HTML for infobox features such as headers and rows. It is designed for clean and modern infoboxes that are driven by data from Wikidata, easily usable across different language versions, and easily extensible.
  • The visual editor now follows the TemplateData format setting announced in November. When you edit or add a use of a template, the wikitext will be laid out in one of the two ways. [38][39]
  • The order of parameters and format defined in a template's TemplateData will be now respected. [40][41]

Changes this week

  • On wikis where the visual editor is available in single edit tab mode, red links may open the visual editor instead of the wikitext editor, depending on user preferences. [42]
  • Anonymous editor warning is now displayed as a warningbox for consistency in both the visual editor and the wikitext editor. [43]
  • Parsoid has been updated to fit some HTML 5 specifications. [44]

Meetings
