Tech News: 2014-02

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent software changes

  • The latest version of MediaWiki (1.23wmf9) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on January 2. It will be enabled on non-Wikipedia wikis on January 7 and on all Wikipedia wikis on January 9 (calendar).
  • The old note-taking site (Etherpad) was removed on December 30, 2013. You can see most of the documents on the new site. [1]

Problems

  • On January 2, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata and all Wikivoyage projects were broken for 2 hours due to language cache update issues.
  • On the same day, it was not possible to edit most wikis for about 30 minutes, due to a database replication problem.

Future software changes

  • The new search tool (CirrusSearch) will be added as the default search method for Italian Wikipedia, French Wikisource, Wikidata and all Wikivoyage sites, and as a second search method for the German Wikipedia and all Wikibooks sites on January 6. [2]
  • Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian Wikipedia users will also be able to enable CirrusSearch in their Beta Features options. [3]
  • Plural form rules for some languages will be changed. Many translations of the user interface for Belarusian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian and other languages will need to be changed. [4] [5] [6]
  • You will see a warning when you try to delete a page linked to from other pages. [7] [8]
  • You will be able to hide redirect pages on the list of protected pages. [9] [10]
  • You will be able to use keyboard shortcuts in the Translate tool, by pressing Alt+1 and similar key groups. [11] [12]
  • E-mails sent by MediaWiki will include the name of the site in their From: line. You will be able to change this name on your wiki by editing the MediaWiki:Emailsender page. [13] [14]
  • Images viewed in the Beta Features media viewer will load faster. [15] [16]

Tech News: 2014-04

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent software changes

VisualEditor news

  • In the toolbar, the menu to edit the styles (like bold, italic, etc.) now has a down arrow (  ). The order of the Insert menu has also changed a little.
  • You can now edit <gallery /> tags with a very basic tool. [34]
  • You can now see a help page about keyboard shortcuts in the page menu. [35]
  • When you change categories, you will now see them when you save the page. [36]
  • When you edit templates, you will now see the parameters in the right order. The ones that you must add have a star (*). [37] [38]
  • The page will now be saved faster, thanks to a new way of coding the text that sends 40% less text to the servers. [39]
  • Your wiki can ask to test a new tool to edit TemplateData. [40]

Problems

  • There was a problem with search on the English and German Wikipedias between January 6 and January 14. You could not see new pages and changes in search results. [41]
  • There were "pool timeouts" errors on several wikis on January 13; it was caused by a code change that was made to fix another problem. [42]
  • On January 17, Bugzilla and Wikimedia Labs were broken for about 20 minutes due to network problems. IRC channels with recent changes (irc.wikimedia.org) were broken for about two hours. [43]

Future software changes

 
Orange bar with new messages
  • If you have removed JavaScript in your web browser, you will soon be able to see the orange bar saying that you have new messages. If you have changed how the bar looks with a gadget, you may need to change the gadget again. [44] [45]
  • You will soon be able to add a given Flickr user to a blacklist so that their files can't be uploaded using UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons and other wikis. [46]
  • You will see a warning when you try to delete a page included in at least one other page. [47]
  • You will so longer see disambiguation pages in Special:LonelyPages. [48] [49]

Hi WikiPuppies, I just thought I should let you know that I fixed this for you (as in I restored Axl's support...not modified yours in any way!). Given that I'm the candidate, I hope you don't mind. :) Best. Acalamari 15:58, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Oh dear, I didn't know I had done that. Thank you. :) WikiPuppies bark dig 20:44, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Heh, it's not a big deal; I've done it a few times myself. :) It's bizarre when it happens, though; usually there's warning about an edit conflict, but sometimes one person's edit wipes out another's. Best. Acalamari 20:58, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Tech News: 2014-05

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent software changes

  • Pages from Wikimedia sites now load faster in your browser thanks to "module storage", a way for your browser to save data like JavaScript and CSS on your computer to avoid downloading them again. See video. [50]
  • The code used to show videos has changed. You should be able to play the video on the page, with the play button on top of the video. If you see the play button on the right of the video, or if clicking on the video leads you to the original file, please file a bug or tell User:Bawolff. [51]
  • The Special:ActiveUsers page will be removed because it's too slow. [52]
  • The latest version of MediaWiki (1.23wmf11) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on January 16. It will be added to non-Wikipedia wikis on January 28, and all Wikipedia wikis on January 30 (calendar).

Problems

Future software changes

  • You can give comments about the new version of "Winter", a proposal to have a fixed toolbar at the top of wiki pages. [54]
