Tech News: 2024-44

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

• Later in November, the Charts extension will be deployed to the test wikis in order to help identify and fix any issue. A security review is underway to then enable deployment to pilot wikis for broader testing. You can read the October project update and see the latest documentation and examples on Beta Wikipedia.
• View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, Pediapress.com, an external service that creates books from Wikipedia, can now use Wikimedia Maps to include existing pre-rendered infobox map images in their printed books on Wikipedia. [1]

Updates for technical contributors

• Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [2]
• Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [3]

Gretchenfrage - zum Ilmkreis

Hallo Arndt, ich habe gestern bereits ein neues Thema angedeutet und wollte wissen, wie Du darüber denkst: In mehreren BL (BW BY NRW und RLP) gibt es schon mehr oder weniger umfangreiche Aktivitäten, die Kategorien systematisch zu verschachteln mit Kreuz- und Querverlinkungen, aber sinnvoll und einer Grundstruktur folgend. Ich hab das für den WAK in den letzten 10 Monaten in breiter Front der Themen adaptiert und nun könnten weitere Kreise folgen - weil man die bereits auf die jeweiligen Ebene umgestellten Skripte ziemlich einfach (Suchen und Ersetzen) und rasch für andere Kreise synchron erzeugen kann. Ich habe die Möglichkeit zu jedem benötigten Thema eine PDF mit den benötigten Skripten zu einem Ort z.B. Ilmenau bereit zu stellen, Ihr vom IK oder GTH, ... braucht dann nur diese Datei in Word oder einen Texteditor zu kopieren und ersetzt den bei mir vorhandenen Ortsnamen i.d.R. Eisenach durch den gerade benötigten Ortsnamen sowie den Kreisnamen WAK -> IK das ist fast alles. Es müssen aber noch einige Vorarbeiten zu jedem Kreis erledigt sein - und ich habe gesehen Zthomas hat da schon einiges erledigt: Die Skripte enthalten Templates die zum jeweiligen Landkreis bzw. zum Ort (Stadt/Gemeinde) vorbereitet sein müssen, sonst läuft die Sache nicht rund. Natürlich kann man die Arbeiten schon starten und die roten Templates kann man zeitnah erstellen. Ich hab auch erst mit einigen Orten Erfahrungen gesammelt, bevor ich alle 30 Städte und Gemeinden in Arbeit hatte. Der Arbeitsaufwand scheint erst mal groß, aber man kann sich ja auf Kernthemen konzentrieren und sicher kommen immer mehr Unterstützer hinzu, die zu ihrem Spezialgebiet auch die eine oder andere Aufgabe übernehmen. Als Start könnte man die Bereiche Gebäude und Natur auswählen, das sind Themen die von jeder Gemeinde mit Bildern belegt wird, andere Themen wie Kultur, Religion, ... entstehen in Bereichen gleich mit, nicht jeder rote Link muss gleich beackert werden. Was meinst Du. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn der Funke überspringen würde und wir das wieder ein bisschen modernisiert bekommen. MfG 20:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC) EACC80 (talk) 20:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Hallo EACC80, danke erstmal für deine Fotos, egal ob Orte zu verschiedenen Zeiten, Verstaltungen etc. Je mehr wir haben, desto besser. Das hat für mich Priorität. Was die Kategorien betrifft, so gibt es generell im Gebiet Thüringen nicht viele Aktive auf Commons. Auch ich im IK habe nur begrenzt Zeit und Motivation mich, um den Aufbau einer auf x Ebenen geschachtelten Kategorienstruktur zu kümmern. Wenn du das machen möchtest, dann okay. Ich bleibe bei einem pragmatischen Ansatz und erstelle Kategorien, wenn es mir sinnvoll erscheint. Gruß, --Arnd 🇺🇦 (talk) 22:32, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Hallo Arnd und EACC80, ich bin mal so frei diesen Thread zu hijacken - könnte ggf. im Rahmen meiner bescheidenen Ressourcen unterstützen... Habe im letzten Jahr schon Category:Villages_in_Thuringia grundlegend aufgeräumt, evtl. kann ich bei SHK anfangen? Beste Grüße, --Arjoopy (talk) 19:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Hallo Arnd 🇺🇦 - vielen Dank für Deine Antwort. Ich hatte meinen Post geschrieben, um das zugegeben arbeitsintensive Thema weiter ins Rollen zu bringen - einige Kollegen haben sich selbst schon mit den Kategorien für ihre Orte an das Schema angenähert, es sind aber statische Lösungen und die optimale Lösung ist halt nur mit den vier Templates machbar. Ich werde in den nächsten Wochen - dem Wetter geschuldet - mehr am PC sitzen und kann dann auch in anderen Kreisen "zaghaft" mit der Übertragung von Strukturen auf diese Kreise starten. Ich selbst hab - wie schon oft erwähnt, viele Dateien noch auf HDDs gespeichert, aber das Hochladen kann auch warten. Es wäre schön, wenn auch andere Kollegen in THR an dieser Sache Interesse haben, um punktuell oder zeitweise Themen in ihrem Interessenbereich oder Gebiet zu bearbeiten. Du kennst möglw. noch Leute, die das mglw. interessieren würde, ich kann ihnen dann hilfreich und beratend zur Seite stehen - es ist wirklich nicht sonderlich kompliziert, man muss halt mehr oder weniger oft mit copy&paste die jeweiligen Skripte auf der Ebene Stadt/Gemeinde zu den dort hinterlegten Fotos/Grafiken erzeugen. Ich will aber nicht - das der Eindruck entsteht, das MUSS nun gemacht werden und alle sollen auf den Zug aufspringen, das führt nur zu Verdruss. Also ich melde mich noch mal, sobald die Sache ins Rollen kommt. (Themenwechsel) ich habe mir noch mal wikishootme etwas genauer angeschaut, da ist ein nicht so gut gelungener Aspekt enthalten: Bilder einfach hot&dirty in Commons hochladen ist oft mit Problemen behaftet - KFZ-Kennzeichen oder die Gesichter von Leuten, derartige Bilder sollten nicht sorglos und ad hoc hochgeladen werden, Löschgründe wären damit gegeben und dann ist das Wikidata-Bild gleich wieder vakant. Ich prüfe/nachbearbeite fast alle meine Bilder, um Ärger aus dem weg zu gehen. - So ... das wars. Viele Grüße 19:32, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Hallo Arnd 🇺🇦 - habe heute mal den Ort Zöllnitz bei Jena im Saale-Holzland-Kreis in einem Rutsch bearbeitet, das war in knapp sechs Stunden erledigt. Es geht also recht schnell ein 1000-Seelen-Dorf in die Struktur zu überführen, für die anderen etwa 70 Dörfer wird es sogar noch schneller gehen, da jetzt schon die für den Landkreis benötigten Skripte mit Zöllnitz entstanden sind. Viele Grüße EACC80 (talk) 18:52, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• A small project on benchmarking query engine performance on useful Wikidata queries is asking for queries from the Wikidata user community to potentially be part of the benchmark. If you are a user of any Wikidata SPARQL service please send queries that you find useful to Peter F. Patel-Schneider. Say what you used the query for and whether you would like to be noted as the source of the query. Queries that take considerable time or time out are especially welcome, particularly if the query caused you to switch from the official Wikidata Query Service to some other service. More information about the project is available in Wikidata:Scaling_Wikidata/Benchmarking.

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

• Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [4]
• Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
• The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [5]
• View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.

Updates for technical contributors

• XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [6]

In depth

• Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
• The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.

Meetings and events

• MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 is happening in Vienna, Austria and online from 4 to 6 November 2024. The conference will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users.

Tech News: 2024-46

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

• On wikis with the Translate extension enabled, users will notice that the FuzzyBot will now automatically create translated versions of categories used on translated pages. [7]
• View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the submitted task to use the SecurePoll extension for English Wikipedia's special administrator election was resolved on time. [8]

Updates for technical contributors

• In 1.44.0-wmf-2, the logic of Wikibase function getAllStatements changed to behave like getBestStatements. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [9]
• Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.

In depth

• Admins and users of the Wikimedia projects where Automoderator is enabled can now monitor and evaluate important metrics related to Automoderator's actions. This Superset dashboard calculates and aggregates metrics about Automoderator's behaviour on the projects in which it is deployed. Thanks to the Moderator Tools team for this Dashboard; you can visit the documentation page for more information about this work. [10]

Meetings and events

• 21 November 2024 (8:00 UTC & 16:00 UTC) - Community call with Wikimedia Commons volunteers and stakeholders to help prioritize support efforts for 2025-2026 Fiscal Year. The theme of this call is how content should be organised on Wikimedia Commons.

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!
