Recent changes
- You can choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the CAPTCHA. This has now been fixed. [1]
- You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry. [2]
- Admins can use the abuse filter tool to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
- The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later. [3]
- Oversighters can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on Special:AbuseLog. This is how the usual revision deletion works. [4]
- When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is "throttled". The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this "throttle".
There is a new tool to build new skins. You can also see existing skins. You can give feedback. [5]- Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the
watchlisttowatchwill still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database. [6] - Scribunto's file metadata now includes length. [7]
- CSS and JavaScript code pages now have link anchors to line numbers. You can use wikilinks like w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js#L-50. [8]
There was a new version of MediaWiki last week. You can read a detailed log of all 763 changes. Most of them are very small and will not affect you.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 January. It will be on all wikis from 14 January (calendar).

Nyhetsbrev nr. 19 fra Wikimedia Norge[rediger kilde]
Godt nytt jubileumsår og gratulerer med 20 år med kunnskapsdugnad!
15. januar 2001 ble Wikipedia på engelsk lansert. Temaet for 20-årsmarkeringen er å feire menneskene bak Wikipedia. Alle dere som på en eller annen måte har bidratt til at vi nå kan feire 20 år med fri kunnskap. På grunn av koronasituasjonen kan vi dessverre ikke invitere til noen fysisk feiring nå, men vi håper å kunne invitere til et jubileumsarrangement i løpet av året.
- Send en gratulasjon
- Vi har laget en gratulasjonsside hvor alle kan sende en gratulasjon til Wikipedia. Vi håper det kan bli en fin side som viser hvorfor Wikipedia fortsatt er like viktig, eller kanskje enda viktigere, enn for 20 år siden. Send inn ditt gratulasjonskort!
- Wikitreff
- Neste wikitreff er 27. januar. Da deltar Karl Wettin fra Wikimedia Sverige, og vil snakke om prosjektet Wikispeech. Dette er et spennende åpent kildekode-prosjekt som handler om brukergenerert stemmesyntetisering. Dette har også bruksområder langt utenfor Wikimedia-prosjektene. Forslag til temaer for senere wikitreff er hjertelig velkomne nederst på wikitreffsiden!
- Arrangementer å se fram til i 2021
- Årsmøte for Wikimedia Norge blir den 6. mars. Møtet vil også i år være digitalt. Mer informasjon kommer.
- Vi planlegger et virtuelt administratortreff for administratorene på Wikipedia-utgavene på bokmål og nynorsk, trolig i mars. Hvis du er interessert i å bidra til organiseringen av dette, kontakt gjerne Jon Harald.
- Arctic Art+Feminism: Vi vil organisere fire skriveverksted i løpet av 2021, tema vil være kvinnelige kunstnere og urfolkskunst. Mer informasjon kommer.
- WikiGap: Dersom smittesituasjonen tillater det blir det WikiGap-arrangement på Den svenske ambassaden i Oslo. Vi håper å se dere der. Tema i år er kvinnelige aktivister fra Sør-Amerika.
- Arctic Knot: I juni arrangerer vi for første gang språkkonferansen Arctic Knot. Det er en videreføring av konferanseserien Celtic knot. Mer informasjon vil komme om ikke lenge!
- Nytt medlemssystem
- Vi tar i bruk et nytt medlemssystem. Hva betyr dette for deg? Minst mulig, håper vi. Men for oss vil det føre til en enda bedre oppfølging av dere medlemmer. I neste uke sender vi et nyhetsbrev med bl.a. informasjon om medlemskontingent for 2021. Den kan betales via AvtaleGiro eller Vipps. Har du allerede betalt medlemsavgiften for 2021, så kan du se bort fra denne informasjonen.
- Spørreundersøkelse fra Wikimedia Foundation
- Wikimedia Foundation ønsker svar på denne undersøkelsen fra Wikimedia-medlemmer fra hele verden. Wikimedia Foundation har laget en norsk oversettelse av undersøkelsen. Man kan ta undersøkelsen anonymt uten å dele epostadresse, men merk at man da ikke bør lukke nettleseren før man er ferdig med undersøkelsen.
Har du allerede betalt medlemsavgift for 2021? Hvis ikke kan du registrere deg som fortsatt medlem på denne siden.

Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 January. It will be on all wikis from 21 January (calendar).
Future changes
- The Growth team plans to add features to get more visitors to edit to more Wikipedias. You can help translating the interface.
- You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for a short time on 26 January at 07:00 (UTC). [9]
- MassMessage posts could be automatically timestamped in the future. This is because MassMessage senders can now send pages using MassMessage. Pages are more difficult to sign. If there are times when a MassMessage post should not be timestamped you can let the developers know.

It has amended the Bylaws in support of that goal.

Hi again!
Apologies as you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help out in translating - thanks for this!
As reported before the WMF starts a Call for Feedback about community-and-affiliated seat selection processes, resulting from the recent approval of bylaws amendments. This call for feedback is going to start on Monday Feb 1 and will run until March 14.
Full information will be published on Monday at this page. You can already watch the page for changes (it's very basic currently) or wait for my extensive post on Monday. If you are a user of Telegram, you can receive updates in this Telegram group or join the discussion in this Telegram group. Furthermore we are organizing an office hour three times (for different time zones) on Tuesday, Feb 2 (see the basic page).
