Voortgang bronnen toevoegen
[bewerken]Hier kan men de voortgang van bronnen toevoegen volgen: merkbaar effect op de grafiek sinds augustus https://phetools.toolforge.org/graphs/Wikisource_-_texts_nl.svg --Havang(nl) (overleg) 5 nov 2023 14:51 (CET)
- Leuk! -- Raketsla (zij/haar) (overleg) 5 nov 2023 19:49 (CET)
- Mooi om te zien. Maar het is voor een aantal werken een enorm karwei. Is er een methode om eerst het "laaghangende fruit" te oogsten? En nog een vraag: is het makkelijk om ergens een lijst van alle werken zonder bron te maken? --Dick Bos (overleg) 9 nov 2023 18:07 (CET)
- Ik heb het eerder wel over Speciaal:PaginasZonderScans gehad. Ik zal eens kijken hoeveel werk het is om een categorie te maken met die werken. -- Raketsla (zij/haar) (overleg) 9 nov 2023 19:05 (CET)
Sjabloon small caps veranderen
[bewerken]Dag allemaal, ik zou iets aan het Sjabloon:Sc willen toevoegen: dat tekst in small caps standaard weer recht wordt en niet schuingedrukt. Dus bijvoorbeeld:
Een ''schuingedrukt stuk met {{sc|rechte small-caps}} in het midden''.
geeft nu:
- Een schuingedrukt stuk met rechte small-caps in het midden.
en ik zou willen:
- Een schuingedrukt stuk met rechte small-caps in het midden.
Je zou dit dan nog steeds kunnen overreden door binnen in het Sjabloon:Sc weer italics te gebruiken:
{{sc|''Dit''}} zou nog steeds schuingedrukt zijn, maar ''{{sc|dit}}'' niet.
- Dit zou nog steeds schuingedrukt zijn, maar dit niet.
Bestaan er werken die jullie kennen, waar schuingedrukte small-caps in voorkomen, en wat dus misschien kapot zou kunnen gaan met deze verandering? Of heeft iemand er iets anders op tegen? -- Raketsla (zij/haar) (overleg) 5 nov 2023 19:48 (CET)
- Niet veranderen, het sjabloon wordt intensief gebruikt, tienduizenden keren, onmogelijk alles na te lopen. Nu kun je in de tekst gewoon italic tekens binnen zowel als buiten het sjabloon plaatsen, zoals bij alle sjablonen het geval is. [dit] [dit] Het zou alleen maar tot verwarring leiden, dit voor dit sjabloon anders te doen. [tekst dit tekst] ; [tekst dit tekst] ; [tekst dit tekst] ; maar wat gebeurt met deze: [tekst dit tekst] --Havang(nl) (overleg) 6 nov 2023 17:26 (CET)
- Dat is wel waar; ik werd vooral gefrustreerd door de small caps binnen schuingedrukte tekst die extra nadruk aangeeft. Het lijkt me semantisch incorrect om dan de buitenste nadruk eerst stop te zetten, voor men de binnenste begint. En ik vraag me af of schuingedrukte small caps wel bestaan in gedrukt werk?
- Dat laatste voorbeeld dat je geeft werkt trouwens nu al niet. -- Raketsla (zij/haar) (overleg) 6 nov 2023 18:21 (CET)
- Waarom zouden small caps extra nadruk betekenen? Ik zie dat jij vaak em gebruikt, waar in het origineel geen blijk is van extra nadruk, maar bijv. de standaard manier is om een afwijkende taal of iets anders aan te geven. Dat is niet noodzakelijk nadruk.--Havang(nl) (overleg) 6 nov 2023 19:32 (CET)
- Volgens mij maak ik daar ook onderscheid in; als je het op bepaalde plekken oneens bent, mag je het gerust vervangen door aanhalingstekens! -- Raketsla (zij/haar) (overleg) 6 nov 2023 19:35 (CET)

- Het is meer dat ik zo'n extra sjabloon overbodig vind, en niet iedereen weet van zulke sjablonen, dus dan gaat men alsnog italic code toevoegen. --Havang(nl) (overleg) 7 nov 2023 09:36 (CET)
- Tjaa… zo erg is dat ook weer niet, ik wil mensen hun workflow niet onnodig aanpassen. Mijn gedachtegang is dat het daadwerkelijk andere HTML genereert:
<em>
tags in plaats van<i>
. Ik geloof dat dat goed is voor de toegankelijkheid, als bijvoorbeeld screenreaders er onderscheid in kunnen maken. - Ik vind het geen enorm belangrijk punt, maar wel leuk om in mijn transcripties toe te voegen. -- Raketsla (zij/haar) (overleg) 8 nov 2023 16:34 (CET)
- Zie 't verschil met bijv. Sjabloon:Taal, dat is een informatief sjabloon, dat niet typografisch werkt. : Sjabloon:em daarentegen is een interpretatief sjabloon dat ook nog typografisch werkt. Maar wikisource moet geen interpretaties toevoegen. En ik raakte in de war met em als maat, gebruikt in sjablonen zoals gap, lijn, r, alinea etc. --Havang(nl) (overleg) 8 nov 2023 17:14 (CET)
- Tjaa… zo erg is dat ook weer niet, ik wil mensen hun workflow niet onnodig aanpassen. Mijn gedachtegang is dat het daadwerkelijk andere HTML genereert:

Future changes
- Reference Previews are coming to many wikis as a default feature. They are popups for references, similar to the PagePreviews feature. You can opt out of seeing them. If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews. Deployment is planned for November 22, 2023.
- Canary (also known as heartbeat) events will be produced into Wikimedia event streams from December 11. Streams users are advised to filter out these events, by discarding all events where
meta.domain == "canary"
. Updates to Pywikibot or wikimedia-streams will discard these events by default. [11]

Zelfuitgeverij... eigen werk?
[bewerken]Dag, het blijkt dat uitgeverij Aspekt; een zelfuitgeverij is. Moet werk dat uitgeverij Aspect als bron heeft, en dat door de auteur zelf op wikisource gezet is, als eigen werk beschouwd worden? Havang(nl) (overleg) 17 dec 2023 17:51 (CET)
- Het probleem is natuurlijk dat in veel gevallen - ik heb niet al het werk nagelopen - de bron van het werk niet achterhaalbaar is. Waarschijnlijk is er nooit een gedigitaliseerde bron geweest. Die zou er toch minstens moeten komen: een scan ofzo, of een pdf, o.i.d. Als dat er allemaal niet is, is en blijft het redelijk problematisch. Zowel Vincent als ik hebben in het verleden wel contact met Karel gehad, maar dat heeft allemaal niet heel veel duidelijkheid opgeleverd, wat mij betreft in ieder geval niet voldoende. Ik weet niet precies hoe @Vincent hier tegenaan kijkt. Zou een publicatie van het werk op een ander Wikimedia-project (Wikibooks?) niet meer voor de hand liggen? --Dick Bos (overleg) 18 dec 2023 16:59 (CET)
- Die artikelen, gepubliceerd in een krant, maken de krant ook deelgenoot in het copyright. Ik zou ze als autopromotie voor verwijdering voor willen dragen. --Havang(nl) (overleg) 18 dec 2023 17:03 (CET)

- Vanaf 18 december is het niet meer mogelijk om Gestructureerde discussies op de eigen overlegpagina te activeren via de bètafuncties. Als je Gestructureerde discussies aan had staan dan kan je ze via bètafuncties nog wel uitschakelen. Deze wijziging maakt deel uit van de afbouw van Gestructureerde discussies. [34]
- Er komt volledige ondersteuning voor doorverwijzingen in de Module-namespace. De functie "Hernoemen" laat een passende omleiding achter en zulke omleidingen worden door de software op passende wijze herkend (bijv. verborgen voor Speciaal:OngekoppeldePaginas). Er komt ook ondersteuning voor handmatige doorverwijzingen. [35]
Toekomstige wijzigingen
- De JavaScript-documentatie van MediaWiki krijgt een nieuw format. Tijdens de verhuizing kan je de oude documenten lezen met versie 1.41. Feedback over de nieuwe site is welkom op de overlegpagina van het project.
- De Wishathon is een nieuw initiatief dat de samenwerking in de Wikimedia-gemeenschap aanmoedigt om oplossingen te ontwikkelen voor het verlanglijstje dat wordt samengesteld aan de hand van de Community Wishlist Survey. De eerste Wishathon vindt plaats van 15 tot 17 maart.

Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?
[bewerken]Apologies for writing in English.
The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to make reusing references easier. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.
- The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen. More information here.
- Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
- Compensation is available.
- Sessions will be held in January and February.
- Sign up here if you are interested.
- Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.
We’re looking forward to seeing you, Thereza Mengs (WMDE) 10 jan 2024 09:54 (UTC)

- Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the
requiresES6
option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future. [40] - Bot passwords and owner-only OAuth consumers can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages. [41]
- You can now thank edits made by bots. [42]

- Starting on January 17, it will not be possible to login to Wikimedia wikis from some specific old versions of the Chrome browser (versions 51–66, released between 2016 and 2018). Additionally, users of iOS 12, or Safari on Mac OS 10.14, may need to login to each wiki separately. [45]
- The
jquery.cookie
module was deprecated and replaced with themediawiki.cookie
module last year. A script has now been run to replace any remaining uses, and this week the temporary alias will be removed. [46]
Future changes

Invitation to join January Wikisource Community Meeting
[bewerken]Hello fellow Wikisource enthusiasts!
We are the hosting this month’s Wikisource Community meeting on 27 January 2024, 3 PM UTC (check your local time).
As we gear up for our upcoming Wikisource Community meeting, we are excited to share some additional information with you.
The meetings will now be held on the last Saturday of each month. We understand the importance of accommodating different time zones, so to better cater to our global community, we've decided to alternate meeting times. The meeting will take place at 3 pm UTC this month, and next month it will be scheduled for 7 am UTC on the last Saturday. This rotation will continue, allowing for a balanced representation of different time zones.
As always, the meeting agenda will be divided into two halves. The first half of the meeting will focus on non-technical updates, including discussions about events, conferences, proofread-a-thons, and collaborations. The second half will delve into technical updates and conversations, addressing major challenges faced by Wikisource communities, similar to our previous Community meetings.
If you are interested in joining the meeting, kindly leave a message on klawal-ctr@wikimedia.org and we will add you to the calendar invite.
Meanwhile, feel free to check out the page on Meta-wiki and suggest any other topics for the agenda.
Regards
KLawal-WMF, Sam Wilson (WMF), and Satdeep Gill (WMF)

Recent changes
- The mobile site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to the phabricator task.
- On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity. Learn more about "action blocks". [60][61]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar). [62][63]
- Talk pages permalinks that included diacritics and non-Latin script were malfunctioning. This issue is fixed. [64]
Future changes
- 24 Wikipedias with Reference Tooltips as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make Reference Previews the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings. [65][66]

- The mobile visual editor is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis. Research shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as well. [81]
- The mw.config value
wgGlobalGroups
now only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is:if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups")))

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection
[bewerken]Dear all,
This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
- May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
- June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
- June-August 2024: Campaign period
- End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
- October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
- Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page, and make your plan.
Election Volunteers
Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page.
Best regards,
Dariusz Jemielniak (Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)

[3] https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Minutes:2023-08-15#Governance_Committee
[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee/Roles
[5] Even though the ideal number is 12 candidates for 4 open seats, the shortlisting process will be triggered if there are more than 15 candidates because the 1-3 candidates that are removed might feel ostracized and it would be a lot of work for affiliates to carry out the shortlisting process to only eliminate 1-3 candidates from the candidate list.

Pagina waarvoor de maximale transclusiegrootte is overschreden
[bewerken]We hebben op Wikisource nu één pagina waar de maximale transclusiegrootte is overschreden: Album der Natuur/1861. Onderaan de pagina zie je dat pagina's niet geïncludeerd worden, maar als link worden weergegeven. Dat dit gebeurt komt omdat pagina's in MediaWiki een maximaal aantal bytes kunnen bevatten die hier overschreven is. Hier gaat het om 160 transclucies te veel (lees: 160 teveel sjablooninvoegingen), vanaf pagina 338 gaat het fout. Op Wikisource zijn we gewend om alles in sjablonen te gieten en dat werkt vaak goed, maar binnen dit boek worden er te veel sjablonen ingevoegd. Ik heb via dit hulpmiddel het sjabloon Img float omgezet in ruwe code, waardoor het uiterlijk in de pagina hetzelfde blijft, maar zo wordt er minder sjablooncode ingevoegd. Het resultaat was meteen zichtbaar op Album der Natuur/1861: er werd daar 1 sjabloon minder als link getoond. In dit boek zullen dus op meer plekken de sjablonen vervangen worden door ruwe code, zodat het hele boek te zien is. Romaine (overleg) 13 mrt 2024 17:29 (CET)
- Dag Romaine, nog een onderhoudstaak erbij, dus. Bedankt.
- Havang(nl) (overleg) 13 mrt 2024 20:49 (CET)
Na wat uitzoekwerk is nu in Album der Natuur/1861 het probleem opgelost. De hoofdveroorzaker van dat er te veel sjablonen werden ingevoegd is Sjabloon:Dotted TOC page listing/1. Met één substituering konden 60 andere sjablonen wel getoond worden. In andere woorden, Dotted TOC page listing is héél erg zwaar voor de MediaWiki-software. Zolang de bestaande sjablonen die in Album der Natuur/1861 gebruikt worden niet zwaarder worden gemaakt, kunnen we volstaan met slechts substituering op 3 pagina's:
- Pagina:Album der Natuur 1861.djvu/16 (diff)
- Pagina:Album der Natuur 1861.djvu/17 (diff)
- Pagina:Album der Natuur 1861.djvu/18 (diff)
In deze 3 pagina's staat nu heel veel platte code (in plaats van sjablooncode), maar dan wordt Album der Natuur/1861 wel goed getoond. Hiermee lijkt dit probleem voor nu opgelost. Romaine (overleg) 23 mrt 2024 14:03 (CET)
- Ik stuitte op het probleem van overschrijding toen ik s:nl:De Katholieke Illustratie/Jaargang 1 aanmaakte. Hoe daar nu mee verder gaan? --Havang(nl) (overleg) 23 mrt 2024 14:14 (CET)
Jouw wiki zal binnenkort in de 'alleen-lezen' modus te gebruiken zijn
[bewerken]Lees dit bericht in een andere taal • Help met het vertalen in uw taal
De Wikimedia Foundation gaat overschakelen naar een ander datacenter. Dit zal er voor zorgen dat Wikipedia en andere Wikimedia-wiki's, zelfs na een ramp beschikbaar blijven.
Al het internetverkeer zal omgeschakeld worden op 20 maart. De test zal beginnen om 14:00 UTC.
Vanwege bepaalde beperkingen in MediaWiki is het helaas nodig om het bewerken van de wiki's tijdelijk in de 'alleen-lezen' modus te zetten. We verontschuldigen ons voor dit ongemak, en we doen onze uiterste best om de negatieve gevolgen, in de toekomst te minimaliseren.
U zult wel in staat zijn om artikelen te lezen, maar niet om deze te bewerken, gedurende een korte periode. Dit geldt voor alle wiki's.
- U zult gedurende een uur of langer lang niet in staat zijn bewerkingen door te voeren op woensdag 20 maart 2024.
- Tijdens het bewerken of opslaan gedurende deze tijd zult u een foutmelding zien. Wij hopen dat er geen bewerkingen verloren gaan, maar zijn hier niet zeker van. Wanneer u deze foutmelding te zien krijgt, wacht dan alstublieft tot alles weer normaal functioneert. Hierna kunt u uw bewerking opslaan. Toch raden we het ten zeerste aan dat u eerst een kopie maakt van uw bewerkingen maakt, gewoon uit voorzorg.
Andere effecten:
- Het uitvoeren van achtergrondtaken zal langzamer gaan, en sommige taken zouden mogelijk kunnen worden geannuleerd. Roodgekleurde koppelingen kunnen mogelijk niet zo snel bijgewerkt worden als gebruikelijk. Als u een artikel aanmaakt waarin ergens anders al naar verwezen wordt, zal de koppeling langer roodgekleurd blijven dan gebruikelijk. Sommige langlopende scripts zullen moeten worden onderbroken.
- We verwachten dat de uitrol van nieuwe code gebeurt zoals dat iedere week plaatsvindt. Het kan echter voorkomen dat sommige codewijzigingen per geval geblokkeerd worden, als de operatie ze later weer nodig heeft.
- GitLab zal ongeveer 90 minuten onbereikbaar zijn.

Switching to the Vector 2022 skin
[bewerken]Read this in your language • Help met het vertalen in uw taal • Please tell other users about these changes
Hi everyone. We are the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. As you may have read in our previous message, over the past year, we have been getting closer to switching every wiki to the Vector 2022 skin as the new default. In our previous conversations with Wikisource communities, we had identified an issue with the Index namespace that prevented switching the skin on. This issue is now resolved.
We are now ready to continue and will be deploying on Wikisource wikis on March 25th.
To learn more about the new skin and what improvements it introduces, please see our documentation. If you have any issues with the skin after the change, if you spot any gadgets not working, or notice any bugs – please comment below! We are also open to joining events like the Wikisource Community meetings to talk to you directly. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (overleg) 18 mrt 2024 21:50 (CET)

- Web browsers can use tools called extensions. There is now a Chrome extension called Citation Needed which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
- A new Edit Recovery feature has been added to all wikis, available as a user preference. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the project talk page. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.
- Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [114][115]
- Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [116]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (calendar). [117][118]
- New accounts and logged-out users will get the visual editor as their default editor on mobile. This deployment is made at all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. [119]

Problems
- Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Ongedaan gemaakt" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [120][121]

- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [124]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_age
will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [125]
Future changes
- Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.

- The appearance of talk pages changed for the following wikis: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia, Thai Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Vietnamese Wikipedia. These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design, for one year. As this test gave positive results, the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Overlegactiviteit weergeven"). The deployment will happen at all wikis in the coming weeks. [131]
- Seven new wikis have been created:
- You can now watch message groups/projects on Translatewiki.net. Initially, this feature will notify you of added or deleted messages in these groups. [139]
- Dark mode is now available on all wikis, on mobile web for logged-in users who opt into the advanced mode. This is the early release of the feature. Technical editors are invited to check for accessibility issues on wikis. See more detailed guidelines.
Problems
- Kartographer maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using
mapstyle="osm"
. This wasn't working in previews, creating the wrong impression that it wasn't supported. This has now been fixed. [140]

Recent changes
- On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word
to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [151]
- If you use the user-preference "Voorvertoning weergeven zonder de pagina opnieuw te laden", then the template-page feature "Voorvertoning weergeven met dit sjabloon" will now also work without reloading the page. [152]
- Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the
alt=
attribute. This is identical in usage to thealt=
attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [153] - The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [154]
Changes later this week

- The Speciaal:Zoeken results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [157]
Future changes
- In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [158]
- Two columns of the
pagelinks
database table (pl_namespace
andpl_title
) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the newlinktarget
table instead (lt_namespace
andlt_title
). In your existing SQL queries:- Replace
JOIN pagelinks
withJOIN linktarget
andpl_
withlt_
in theON
statement - Below that add

You can share your comments or questions on the project talkpage. [191]
- The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode. [192]
Problems
- You can copy permanent links to talk page comments by clicking on a comment's timestamp. This feature did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug. [193]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 June. It will be on all wikis from 27 June (calendar). [194][195]
- Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this feature on Diff or on Mediawiki.org. [196]

Tech News: 2024-27
[bewerken]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
- Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update. [197]
- Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [198]
- If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [199][200]
- Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [201]
- Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Mandailing (
w:btm:
) [202]
Problems
- Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team. [203]
Future changes
- Please help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 2 weeks. The survey is covered by this privacy statement. Some translations are available.

To learn more about the deployment status and how to request this extension for your wiki, visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-wiki.
- Editors using the iOS Wikipedia app who have more than 50 edits can now use the Add an Image feature. This feature presents opportunities for small but useful contributions to Wikipedia.
- Thank you to all of the authors who have contributed to MediaWiki Core. As a result of these contributions, the percentage of authors contributing more than 5 patches has increased by 25% since last year, which helps ensure the sustainability of the platform for the Wikimedia projects.
Problems
- A problem with the color of the talkpage tabs always showing as blue, even for non-existent pages which should have been red, affecting the Vector 2022 skin, has been fixed.
Future changes
- The Trust and Safety Product team wants to introduce temporary accounts with as little disruption to tools and workflows as possible. Volunteer developers, including gadget and user-script maintainers, are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. The team has created documentation explaining how to do the update. Learn more.

U4C Special Election - Call for Candidates
[bewerken]- You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Help met het vertalen in uw taal
Hello all,
A special election has been called to fill additional vacancies on the U4C. The call for candidates phase is open from now through July 19, 2024.
The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications in the special election for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter.
In this special election, according to chapter 2 of the U4C charter, there are 9 seats available on the U4C: four community-at-large seats and five regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement. No more than two members of the U4C can be elected from the same home wiki. Therefore, candidates must not have English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, or Italian Wikipedia as their home wiki.
Read more and submit your application on Meta-wiki.
In cooperation with the U4C,

Tech News survey
- Please help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 3 more days. The survey is covered by this privacy statement. Some translations are available.
Recent changes
- Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both Gerrit and GitLab, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the Migration status page.
- The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
- Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
- Editors who have access to The Wikipedia Library can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation contacted them to restore access. You can read more about this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week.
Changes later this week
- This week, dark mode will be available on a number of Wikipedias, both desktop and mobile, for logged-in and logged-out users. Interface admins and user script maintainers are encouraged to check gadgets and user scripts in the dark mode, to find any hard-coded colors and fix them. There are some recommendations for dark mode compatibility to help.
Future changes
- Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the temporary accounts feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page. [204]
- Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.
