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 Wikimedia Commons mobile app has a new version. It is now easier to find nearby places that need pictures. It helps you with direct uploads and title and category suggestions. The app only works on Android phones. [1]
Problems
The abuse filters had a problem with blocks where you had changed how long they last. It used the default length everywhere. This was in late April. Abuse filter users should make sure the right block length is used and change them if needed. This is only for filters where how long blocks last had been changed. [2]
Changes later this week
- The advanced search function beta feature will be on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. [3]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 May. It will be on all wikis from 10 May (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 8 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 9 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 16 May. Other wikis will switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [4][5]

Nyhetsbrev fra Wikimedia Norge[rediger kilde]
Hei, Wikimedia Norge-medlemmer og andre bidragsytere, her kommer informasjon om hva som skjer de nærmeste ukene og månedene i regi av Wikimedia Norge.
- Wikitreff på Litteraturhuset 15. mai
- Kveldens innleder er Silvija Seres som skal snakke om hvordan den fjerde industrielle revolusjonen endrer forretningsmodeller, markedsposisjoner, hvordan vi arbeider, og hvordan vi er. Wikitreffet er gratis og åpent for alle! Velkommen! Mer informasjon i Facebook-arrangementet.

- Oslo Freedom Forum 28. mai
- Wikimedia Norge skal delta på Tech Lab under Oslo Freedom Forum med et heldags skriveverksted. Vil du bli med? Ta kontakt med astrid@wikimedia.no. Lunsj og reiseutgifter dekkes. Dette er invitasjonen fra Human Rights Foundation, som arrangerer Oslo Freedom Forum: As a member of Norway's Wikipedia community, you are invited to spend May 28 with hundreds of human rights activists and technologists at the 2018 Oslo Freedom Forum. Wikimedia will have an area inside the venue at Sentralen in downtown Oslo to encourage participants to edit various human-rights related entries in Norwegian, English, and other languages. A key goal will be to get the dissidents, activists, journalists, and netizen and OFF attendees from more than 50 countries to get involved in editing their own country's important pages, such as country page, leader (or dictator), top activists, and any key human rights or corruption issues. Working together, we can expose the crimes of corrupt governments while also shining a light on those who are working to make the world a better place.
- Bodil Biørn-arrangement på Riksarkivet 30. mai
- 200 bilder etter Bodil Biørn oppbevares i dag hos Riksarkivet. Med støtte fra Kulturrådet digitaliserer Riksarkivet disse bildene, og Wikimedia Norge transkriberer og tilgjengeliggjør innholdet i samarbeid med Wikimedia Armenia. Denne ettermiddagen inviterer vi alle inn til å bli bedre kjent med Bodil Biørn og Riksarkivets samlinger. Mer informasjon i Facebook-arrangementet.
- Konferanser og festivaler
- Ansatte i Wikimedia Norge skal delta på flere konferanser og festivaler til sommeren for å fremme nordsamisk Wikipedia. Hvis du skal på noen av disse, så vil vi gjerne ha kontakt med deg! Ta kontakt med astrid@wikimedia.no.

Dette er en notis for å informere om spenning i hverdagen
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
- You can now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [8][9]
- It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [10]
- Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words.
- There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [11]
- Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [12]
- There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [13]
Problems
- Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [14]
Changes later this week
- There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [15]
- A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [16]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 May. It will be on all wikis from 31 May (calendar).
- Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [17]
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 29 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 30 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- Content Translation drafts which have not been updated in over a year will be removed. This allows other users to translate those articles. [18]
- A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [19]
- Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. [20][21]
