Tech News: 2021-05

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

• IPv6 addresses were written in lowercase letters in diffs. This caused dead links since Special:Contributions only accepted uppercase letters for the IPs. This has been fixed. [1]

Changes later this week

• You can soon use Wikidata to link to pages on the multilingual Wikisource. [2]
• Often editors use a "non-breaking space" to make a gap between two items when reading but still show them together. This can be used to avoid a line break. You will now be able to add new ones via the special character tool in the 2010, 2017, and visual editors. The character will be shown in the visual editor as a space with a grey background. [3][4]
• Wikis use abuse filters to stop bad edits being made. Filter maintainers can now use syntax like 1.2.3.4 - 1.2.3.55 as well as the 1.2.3.4/27 syntax for IP ranges. [5]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 February. It will be on all wikis from 4 February (calendar).

Future changes

• Minerva is the skin Wikimedia wikis use for mobile traffic. When a page is protected and you can't edit it you can normally read the source wikicode. This doesn't work on Minerva on mobile devices. This is being fixed. Some text might overlap. This is because your community needs to update MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext to work on mobile. You can read more. [6][7]
• Cloud VPS and Toolforge will change the IP address they use to contact the wikis. The new IP address will be 185.15.56.1. This will happen on February 8. You can read more.

Dentonius's GlobalRecentChanges allows you to monitor recent changes across various wikis.

Yahya's SNA (Start New Article) allows you to start a new article or draft from the navigation bar.

Nardog:

• CatChangeLinker bluelinks the "(diff | hist)" part of category additions/removals on your watchlist.
• CatChangesViewer lists recent category additions/removals on a category page.
• Consecudiff adds links to diffs of consecutive edits by the same user on watchlist, history, etc.
• DiffFontSwitcher allows you to toggle between fonts for diff by clicking a line number.

Novem Linguae:

• UserHighlighterSimple is a fork of Chlod's UserHighlighter with a simplified color scheme.
• VisualEditorEverywhere displays the Visual Editor edit tab and section links on pages that don't normally have them.

User:Evad37/TimestampDiffs – fixed compatibility issues with various scripts/gadgets, including Wikipedia:Comments in Local Time. For discussion archives, now looks for revisions on the base page.

User:Enterprisey/undo-last-edit.js - no longer tries to load on special pages.

User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap - version 1.4 fixes reading destination from form field if destination is not in article namespace, and fixes self redirects.

Some global interface editors or local interface administrators may edit your user script to make these changes if you don't. See phab:T72470 for more.

Miscellaneous

• For people interested in creating user scripts or gadgets using TypeScript, a types-mediawiki package (GitHub, NPM) is now available that provides type definitions for the MediaWiki JS interface and the API.

Pending requests

• A script to ease reviewing Good Article nominations
• A script to help manage Z number templates
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

As always, if anyone else would like to contribute, including nominating a featured script, help is appreciated. Stay safe, and happy new year! --DannyS712 (talk) 01:17, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Mabia

Hi Masssly,

It took me a while to figure out what Mabia was, when I ran across it, so I created a rd for future reference. It should be mentioned in the article so people understand why they were directed there, as well as to show its scope. It seems to be more common than "Western Oti-Volta", and "Mole-Dagbani" seems to be more an ethnic label. Anyway, the point of my edit was so the article would explain what people might come to WP for, not to promote one term over another.

Wikidata weekly summary #455

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Discussions
  • Other: Tool ideas/ImproveWikidata

• Events
  • Past: Linked Open Storytelling - Winter School 2021 - Fellow-Programm Freies Wissen (in German) (reply on YouTube)
  • Upcoming: SPARQL queries live on Twitch and in French by Vigneron, February 16 at 18:00 CET
  • Upcoming: Bug triage hour about Lexemes, February 16
  • Upcoming video: LIVE Wikidata editing #32 - YouTube, Facebook, February 20
  • Upcoming: Online Wikidata meetup in Swedish #50, February 21

• Press, articles, blog posts, videos
  • Blog post: The promise of Wikidata: How journalists can use the crowdsourced open knowledge base as a data source, by Monika Sengul-Jones
  • Blog post: Data donation to Wikidata, part 2: country/subject dossiers of the 20th Century Press Archives (by Joachim Neubert, ZBW Labs)
  • Blog post: Bibliography and Citations of Hausa Folklore by Anasskoko
  • Video: Querying Linked (Wiki)data with SPARQL ✨ (presentation by Lucas Werkmeister at rC3, 90 minutes)
  • Video: Wikidata editing #31 Free Software Day - YouTube, Facebook
  • Video: Knowledge Graphs for AI: Wikidata and beyond - YouTube

• Tool of the week
  • UseAsRef script allows you to add references to statements using one external ID as source (see User:Bargioni/UseAsRef and this YouTube video for more information)

• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Abstract Wikipedia presents prototypes of two tools that could help people to visualize, exemplify, and better guide our understanding of the coverage of lexicographic data in Wikidata.
  • Public Domain Tool, developed by the Flemish Institute for Archives automates the process of determining whether their collection items could be in the public domain.
  • Sizes of country items (like "Portugal" (Q45)) were recently reduced by 30% to 50% by moving a few economics properties to "economy of"-items (sample: "economy of Portugal" (Q1649355)). The item "economy of Portugal" is currently larger than "Portugal". This can simplify uses of country items that previously timed-out. Infoboxes can still access the properties with the link through "economy of topic" (P8744).
  • Later this week, the development team will enable a rate limit for assigning new item IDs. Bots and users who successfully create items should notice no change, since the rate limit is equal to the existing limit on all edits. However, bots that often fail to create items may start to see different error messages than usual. This will hopefully reduce the problem of skipped item IDs.
  • Guidelines and compensation for UX research lead by Wikimedia Germany (announcement)

• Did you know?
  • Newest properties:
    • General datatypes: service status information URL, first family name in Portuguese name, time played, coordinates of depicted place
    • External identifiers: CompositionToday composers showcase ID, Royal Museums Greenwich artwork ID, Saint Louis Art Museum artwork ID, AZLyrics.com song ID, Studio di Fonologia Musicale RAI person ID, WreckSite ID, SOUNZ contributor ID, Doktori.hu ID, Portal da Literatura ID, IPHAE ID, Play:Right ID, National Portrait Gallery (London) artwork ID, Xinjiang Data Project identifier, CITWF title ID, Union Catalog of Armenian Continuing Resources ID, Saxony-Anhalt cultural heritage object ID, FloGrappling ID, Can I use feature ID
  • New property proposals to review:
    • General datatypes: National Gallery of Art Library Bibliographic ID, letterer, set during recurring event, number of references, sensors, Applying institution
    • External identifiers: Lexikon Literatur in Tirol, Danmarks Adresseregister named street ID, Baidu Baike ID (2), Kickstarter username, Protagonisti della storia delle scienze della mente ID, Curling.fi player ID, RILM ID, Swiss vote ID, svoyak.info player ID, Germanistenverzeichnis, Svenska Institutet i Rom ID, CinemaRx title ID, Sinemalar title ID, English Placenames MADS ID, Armenian Book ID, identifiant inventaire Occitanie, AaRC title ID, Biblioteca Iglesia Nacional Española en Roma ID, BFS ID, Dizionario biografico online degli anarchici italiani ID, JedeSchule.de ID, bashenc.online ID, Svoya Igra television player ID, Wisconsin Architecture and History Inventory ID

    • Use the MediaWiki API to get the content of a Wikipedia category into a query
    • Number of scholarly articles sharing their datasets (Source)
    • Most specific taxon that includes two given species (Source)

• Development
  • Work on the Simple Query Builder continues. We finished connecting query conditions via OR (phab:T272694). Next we will work on adding the UI for sharing the visual query via a link (phab:T272887)
  • Improved the deployment process for the Query Service UI to make it easier to deploy
  • Fixed language code "dag" for Dagbani not working for Lemmas for Lexemes (phab:T272242)
  • Fixing the bug where the Property selector is not falling back from language variant to major language for Property labels (phab:T272712)
  • Adding a rate limit for creating Item IDs to avoid skipping so many due to misbehaving bots (phab:T272032)
  • Fixed the case where no error was shown when trying to save a lemma with an invalid language code (phab:T265783)
  • Fixed a but where merging two Lexemes fails if the source Lexeme has links to its own Senses (phab:T273830)
  • Increasing the rate of edits that trigger a check by the constraint checker to 50%. This will increase the number of constraints violations that you can query in the Query Service. (phab:T204031)
  • Making it possible to add interwiki links to/from Multilingual Wikisource (phab:T138332)

Tech News: 2021-07

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

• There were problems with recent versions of MediaWiki. Because the updates caused problems the developers rolled back to an earlier version. Some updates and new functions will come later than planned. [15][16]
• Some services will not work for a short period of time from 07:00 UTC on 17 February. There might be problems with new short links, new translations, new notifications, adding new items to your reading lists or recording email bounces. This is because of database maintenance. [17]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 February. It will be on all wikis from 18 February (calendar).
