Tech News: 2025-03

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

Weekly highlight

• The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See the SUL3 project page for more details and a timeline.

Updates for editors

• On wikis with PageAssessments installed, you can now filter search results to pages in a given WikiProject by using the inproject: keyword. (These wikis: Arabic Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, English Wikivoyage, French Wikipedia, Hungarian Wikipedia, Nepali Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia) [1]
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Tigre (w:tig:) [2]
• View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed. [3]

Updates for technical contributors

• Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the MediaWiki Interfaces Team in Phabricator if they arise.
• Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI.
• For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 returned a JSON object with an integer in its sub field, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. [4]
• Many wikis currently use Cite CSS to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to not clean up your MediaWiki:Common.css until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output. [5]

Meetings and events

• The next meeting in the series of Wikimedia Foundation Community Conversations with the Wikimedia Commons community will take place on January 15 at 8:00 UTC and at 16:00 UTC. The topic of this call is defining the priorities in tool investment for Commons. Contributors from all wikis, especially users who are maintaining tools for Commons, are welcome to attend.

Your most memorable shot of 2024

Happy New Year! As always at the beginning of the new year, I'm inviting you to share your most memorable shot of the past year. Which of your photos stood out in 2024? Which image created special memories that you'd like to share with others? On behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best for 2025.

Tech News: 2025-04

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

Updates for editors

• Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using Extension:Nuke. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address. [6]
• On wikis that use the Patrolled edits feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as "manually patrolled" instead of "autopatrolled", which is more accurate. Some editors that use filters on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings. [7]
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the Visual Editor's "Insert link" feature did not always suggest existing pages properly when an editor started typing, which has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

• The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is being progressively removed from the wikis. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. The last group of wikis (Catalan Wikiquote, Wikimedia Finland, Goan Konkani Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikibooks, Wikimedia Sweden) will soon be contacted. If you have questions about this process, please ping Trizek (WMF) at your wiki. [8]
• The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: updates about services from the Data Platform Engineering teams, information about Codex from the Design System team, and more.

Vielen Dank...

..., lieber Aristeas für die erfolgreiche Nominierung meines Fotos File:Arona-Two-Green-Doors-2024.jpg - ich habe das erst nach der FP-Promotion gesehen. Habe mich gefreut. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:35, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Hallo Tuxyso, gerne geschehen – das ist einfach ein tolles Bild, daher war mir die Nominierung ein Vergnügen. Ich versuche immer mal wieder, Fotos von anderen zu nominieren, um die Vielfalt und faire Auswahl unserer Featured Pictures zu fördern. Weiterhin viele schöne Motive und gut Licht wünscht Dir – Aristeas (talk) 10:42, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-05

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

Weekly highlight

• Patrollers and admins - what information or context about edits or users could help you to make patroller or admin decisions more quickly or easily? The Wikimedia Foundation wants to hear from you to help guide its upcoming annual plan. Please consider sharing your thoughts on this and 13 other questions to shape the technical direction for next year.

Updates for editors

• iOS Wikipedia App users worldwide can now access a personalized Year in Review feature, which provides insights based on their reading and editing history on Wikipedia. This project is part of a broader effort to help welcome new readers as they discover and interact with encyclopedic content.
• Edit patrollers now have a new feature available that can highlight potentially problematic new pages. When a page is created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted, a tag ('Recreated') will now be added, which users can filter for in Special:RecentChanges and Special:NewPages. [9]
• Later this week, there will be a new warning for editors if they attempt to create a redirect that links to another redirect (a double redirect). The feature will recommend that they link directly to the second redirect's target page. Thanks to the user SomeRandomDeveloper for this improvement. [10]
• Wikimedia wikis allow WebAuthn-based second factor checks (such as hardware tokens) during login, but the feature is fragile and has very few users. The MediaWiki Platform team is temporarily disabling adding new WebAuthn keys, to avoid interfering with the rollout of SUL3 (single user login version 3). Existing keys are unaffected. [11]
• View all 30 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• For developers that use the MediaWiki History dumps: The Data Platform Engineering team has added a couple of new fields to these dumps, to support the Temporary Accounts initiative. If you maintain software that reads those dumps, please review your code and the updated documentation, since the order of the fields in the row will change. There will also be one field rename: in the mediawiki_user_history dump, the anonymous field will be renamed to is_anonymous. The changes will take effect with the next release of the dumps in February. [12]

Hut ab

Hut ab vor der Argumentation bzgl. des Trump-Bildes. Sie schien sehr überzeugend für den Admin gewesen zu sein ;) --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 17:40, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Hallo PantheraLeo1359531 😺, danke ;–). Hm, ehrlich gesagt bin ich selbst erstaunt, dass sich der Admin u.a. ausdrücklich auf mich berufen hat. Ich wollte eigentlich nur „auch meinen Senf dazu geben“ und hatte nicht erwartet, dass gerade mein kleines Statement irgendwelche Bedeutung haben würde. Argumentationstheoretisch würde ich annehmen, dass es zufällig genau der Meinung entsprach, die sich da jemand bereits selbst gebildet hatte, und dass es gerade recht kam, um eine knappe Begründung mit Verweis auf andere formulieren zu können ... Aber das ist Spekulation. Am Ende hat der Admin eben so unter Abwägung aller Argumente entschieden. Ich würde mich allerdings nicht wundern, wenn der Löschantrag bald zum dritten Mal (und auch noch ein 4. und 5. Mal) gestellt würde, denn irgendwie scheinen diese Fotos des „greatest President ever“ alle Rechthaber auf Commons anzuziehen. ;–) Herzliche Grüße, – Aristeas (talk) 20:06, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Ja, ich glaube, umstritten wird es so oder so bleiben. Bei bedeutsamen Fotos entstehen Diskussionen, die ganze Bücher füllen können. Ich kann mich noch an die Diskussion erinnern, bei der es um die Löschung des Trump-Fotos mit der Faust nach dem Attentat ging (ob Fair Use oder nicht). Aber da wir keine Sicherheit haben, kann man so oder so spekulieren. Allerdings dürfte strenggenommen eine Löschdiskussion erneut angestoßen werden, wenn es neue Argumente gibt. Und so lange abstimmen, bis das Ergebnis passt, das kann auch kontraproduktiv sein :). Aber so etwas Ähnliches hatte ich auch mal. Da ging es um Videos, die eigentlich eine CC-Lizenz mit angezeigt hatten, diese aber dann vorsichtshalber gelöscht wurden. Etwa 1 Jahr später drehte sich der Wind, und sie wurden wiederhergestellt. Naja, ist also viel von Überlegungen und Argumentationsgewichtungen abhängig :D. Mich hat nur gewundert, dass bei Fotos solcher Persönlichkeiten die Rechtslage hinter den Fotos nicht klar ist, das ist schon verwunderlich. Liebe Grüße --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 20:12, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
