Tech News: 2023-20
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- Citations that are automatically generated based on ISBN are currently broken. This affects citations made with the VisualEditor Automatic tab, and the use of the citoid API in gadgets and user scripts. Work is ongoing to restore this feature. [1]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 May. It will be on all wikis from 18 May (calendar).- Starting on Wednesday, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link" (Gorontalo Wikipedia, Hausa Wikipedia, Hakka Chinese Wikipedia, Hawaiian Wikipedia, Fiji Hindi Wikipedia, Croatian Wikipedia, Upper Sorbian Wikipedia, Haitian Creole Wikipedia, Interlingua Wikipedia, Interlingue Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Iloko Wikipedia, Ingush Wikipedia, Ido Wikipedia, Icelandic Wikipedia, Inuktitut Wikipedia, Jamaican Patois Wikipedia, Javanese Wikipedia). This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to more Wikipedias. The communities can configure how this feature works locally. [2]
Future changes
- There is a recently formed team at the Wikimedia Foundation which will be focusing on experimenting with new tools. Currently they are building a prototype ChatGPT plugin that allows information generated by ChatGPT to be properly attributed to the Wikimedia projects.
Gadget and userscript developers should replace jquery.cookiewithmediawiki.cookie. Thejquery.cookielibrary will be removed in ~1 month, and staff developers will run a script to replace any remaining uses at that time. [3]

Recent changes
- Citations can once again be added automatically from ISBNs, thanks to Zotero's ISBN searches. The current data sources are the Library of Congress (United States), the Bibliothèque nationale de France (French National Library), and K10plus ISBN (German repository). Additional data source searches can be proposed to Zotero. The ISBN labels in the VisualEditor Automatic tab will reappear later this week. [6]
- The page Special:EditWatchlist now has "Check all" options to select all the pages within a namespace. This feature request was voted #161 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [7]

- Citation and footnote editing can now be started from the reference list when using the visual editor. This feature request was voted #2 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [10]

Recent changes
- The content attribution tools Who Wrote That?, XTools Authorship, and XTools Blame now support the Dutch, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Japanese, Polish and Portuguese Wikipedias. This was the #7 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [14]
- The Search Preview panel has been deployed on four Wikipedias (Catalan, Dutch, Hungarian and Norwegian). The panel will show an image related to the article (if existing), the top sections of the article, related images (coming from MediaSearch on Commons), and eventually the sister projects associated with the article. [15]
- The RealMe extension now allows administrators to verify URLs for any page, for Mastodon and similar software. [16]
- The default project license has been officially upgraded to CC BY-SA 4.0. The software interface messages have been updated. Communities should feel free to start updating any mentions of the old CC BY-SA 3.0 licensing within policies and related documentation pages. [17]
Problems
- For three days last month, some Wikipedia pages edited with VisualEditor or DiscussionTools had an unintended
__TOC__(or its localized form) added during an edit. There is a listing of affected pages sorted by wiki, that may still need to be fixed. [18] - Currently, the "Sort this page by default as" feature in VisualEditor is broken. Existing
{{DEFAULTSORT:...}}keywords incorrectly appear as missing templates in VisualEditor. Developers are exploring how to fix this. In the meantime, those wishing to edit the default sortkey of a page are advised to switch to source editing. [19] - Last week, an update to the delete form may have broken some gadgets or user scripts. If you need to manipulate (empty) the reason field, replace
#wpReasonwith#wpReason > input. See an example fix. [20]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 June. It will be on all wikis from 15 June (calendar).
- VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on English Wikipedia on Monday, and all other large wikis on Thursday. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here. [21]
Future changes
- From 5 June to 17 July, the Foundation's Security team is holding a consultation with contributors regarding a draft policy to govern the use of third-party resources in volunteer-developed gadgets and scripts. Feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome at Third-party resources policy on meta-wiki.

Articles of concern
Hi my dear friend DreamRimmer, you contacted me about two articles, Dargahi Singh Bhati and Ajit Singh Bhati, but I don't think I've actually reviewed either. I couldn't see my handle in the edit histories. Maybe you meant someone else. But I'm very bothered by your revelation regarding the sources. I think this certainly warrants AfD nominations if correct (and you're a very thorough person). I look forward to seeing how this plays out. I do review a lot of Sikh articles, and I'm now going to look far more closely at sources. Very best regards, BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 16:02, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @BoyTheKingCanDance: I forgot to mention Shambhujit Singh Bhati which you marked as reviewed. Here is the review log for this article. Similar sources have been used in this article as well. DreamRimmer (talk) 16:20, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- Such historical articles are often created on Hindi Wikipedia which are actually fiction. That's why when I saw such articles here too, I sought your suggestions. DreamRimmer (talk) 16:26, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- This type of deception will backfire on the author(s) because careful and responsible editors will think twice about reviewing any of their new articles. I will. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I’m very grateful to you. Best regards, BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 16:30, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion
Hello, DreamRimmer,
Admins are quicker to fulfill a CSD request for page deletion for uncontroversial deletion if you select on Twinkle CSD G6 Move where you list the page you want moved. Then the admin can delete the page (usually a redirect) and move the draft in one edit. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 16:27, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- Although I had also done the same, I don't know why the deleting admin did not perform the move. Thank you for sharing; it will be helpful later.

- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 June. It will be on all wikis from 29 June (calendar).
- The Minerva skin now applies more predefined styles to the
.mbox-textCSS class. This enables support for mbox templates that use divs instead of tables. Please make sure that the new styles won't affect other templates in your wiki. [29][30] - Gadgets will now load on both desktop and mobile by default. Previously, gadgets loaded only on desktop by default. Changing this default using the
|targets=parameter is also deprecated and should not be used. You should make gadgets work on mobile or disable them based on the skin (with the|skins=parameter in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition) rather than whether the user uses the mobile or the desktop website. Popular gadgets that create errors on mobile will be disabled by developers on the Minerva skin as a temporary solution. [31] - All namespace tabs now have the same browser access key by default. Previously, custom and extension-defined namespaces would have to have their access keys set manually on-wiki, but that is no longer necessary. [32]
- The review form of the Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standardized user interface components. [33]
Future changes
- How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will change in the coming weeks at group2 wikis. This change improves the accessibility of content. You may need to update your site-CSS, or userscripts and gadgets. There are details on what code to check, how to update the code, and where to report any related problems. [34]

So, Bbmr created the article on Ramit Maski Rana about 15 minutes before your review. When I looked at it this morning, I saw sourcing that supported the awards that appeared to be neutral, so I let it stand in mainspace. I do agree that the sourcing about the awards is only passing mentions.
Next step in a situation like this is usually to send the article to AfD: I know we don't operate on precedent, but the precedent is that articles can't get sent back to draft space once somebody moves them into mainspace, whether they're ready or not. Would you like to go that route and nominate the article for deletion?
Another user has indicated that there may be a conflict of interest situation here, but I don't see any major red flags. —C.Fred (talk) 15:30, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hello @C.Fred, I've nominated this article for AfD. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 16:23, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

@DreamRimmer Draft:Super Singer Junior (season 9) - Wikipedia. WHY IS THIS STILL NOT IN THE MAINSPACE? H669617 (talk) 12:49, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- @H669617, your draft is in the queue for review by an AFC reviewer. Please note that it might take some time due to the backlog of 4200 drafts awaiting review. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 14:02, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmerI created a page yesterday and got 2 declined responses by today! So what is happening? Why does there not seem to be any response for this article and this has been requested more than 10 days? H669617 (talk) 14:07, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Drafts that are easy to accept or easy to reject are quickly reviewed, while others are queued for review until a subject-knowledgeable or comfortable reviewer reviews them. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 14:21, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Regarding the submission of a new article Vanjari/Wanjari caste
You rejected the article stating "Unreliable Sources" need extra information. I have cited the census of British India (1881) one of the oldest and most thorough researches done on the castes in the late 1800's...! [here.s the link --- https://ruralindiaonline.org/media/documents/Report_of_Census_of_India_1881_Vol_I_II_II_small.pdf ] In the gazetteer majority of the information of the castes origin is given on page 328, point no-673 in the gazetteer & (page 758/1875 in PDF). And the relation between the Kunbis, Marathas and Wanjaris is given on page 327 (755/1875 in PDF)
Please have a look. And inform me if I should resubmit the article.
Best regards. Jyesth Anveshak (talk) 21:52, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
