Updates for technical contributors

  • Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [2]
  • Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [3]

Good evening Aristeas,

[edit]

If I may, I have a question for you. My photo File:Red slug (Arion rufus), 07-09-2024. (actm.).jpg was promoted to FP today but I can't find the right Category:Featured…. Do you know under which Category:Featured… slugs fall? My hope is in you. Thank you in advance for your attention. Kind regards,--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 16:14, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Goedeavond Agnes, nu is alles geregeld. :-) Ik help Aristeas. --Cart (talk) 18:23, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Goedemorgen @W.carter: , hartelijk dank hiervoor.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 05:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updates for editors

  • Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [4]
  • Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
  • The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [5]
  • View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.

Updates for technical contributors

  • XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [6]

In depth

  • Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
  • The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.

Meetings and events

  • MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 is happening in Vienna, Austria and online from 4 to 6 November 2024. The conference will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item In 1.44.0-wmf-2, the logic of Wikibase function getAllStatements changed to behave like getBestStatements. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [9]
  • Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.

In depth

  • Admins and users of the Wikimedia projects where Automoderator is enabled can now monitor and evaluate important metrics related to Automoderator's actions. This Superset dashboard calculates and aggregates metrics about Automoderator's behaviour on the projects in which it is deployed. Thanks to the Moderator Tools team for this Dashboard; you can visit the documentation page for more information about this work. [10]

Meetings and events

  • 21 November 2024 (8:00 UTC & 16:00 UTC) - Community call with Wikimedia Commons volunteers and stakeholders to help prioritize support efforts for 2025-2026 Fiscal Year. The theme of this call is how content should be organised on Wikimedia Commons.

Ooops!

[edit]

Sorry about that. It was just an edit conflict. I happened across it at the same time you did, and I didn't see your edit. --Cart (talk) 09:05, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, Cart! We just had the same idea at the same time. ;–)
Almost the same idea, of course. There are two strategies how to deal with such cases when a gallery link should include a section anchor, but the section in question (here: #Friuli-Venezia Giulia) does not exist (yet). Either we can still use the complete gallery link and optionally add a hint “(section doesn’t exist yet)” (this is what you did). Or we can just use the bare link to the gallery page, without a section anchor (this is what I did). In both cases we must create the subsection once the image has been promoted to FP status and move the image from the “Unsorted” section to the new one, so the difference is not huge.
I follow my (simpler) strategy because in the past I had the impression that FPCBot sometimes does strange things (like putting an image into the wrong subsection) when we use a section anchor for a section which does not exist (yet); and this is something I want to avoid in any case. But maybe my impression was wrong, so we can also follow your more elaborate strategy. Are there any more reasons for one strategy or the other one?
All the best, – Aristeas (talk) 11:32, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I didn't know (hadn't noticed) about the funny buisiness the bot was up to with these pre-sections. The reasons I add them are that voters are often more positive to photos of something new (instead of yet another photo of the Golden Gate bridge) and explain to voters why the link won't show them other photos from that subject, plus to help the person closing the nom since they sometimes go and add the section during that process. Perhaps a good middle ground would be to leave the section out of the link and just mention it after like "(section 'Friuli-Venezia Giulia' doesn’t exist yet)". Cart (talk) 12:51, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Cart, I cannot prove that the bot really misbehaves in this way – I think I have noticed this two or three times in the past, but all cases happened last year or so and I have forgotten to note down the cases. However, FPCBot has many idiosyncrasies (to put it mildly) and hence I think it’s better to err on the save side (because if the bot really puts an image into the wrong subsection, this kind of error will often go unnoticed). Therefore I think your middle ground is the best possible solution: It avoids the risk of bot errors, is clear to the voters and helpful for the one who closes the nomination and/or for us who have to create the new subsection and to move the photo to it. So in the future I will obey to this strategy (and please remember me if I ever forget it in the hurry of the daily routine!). Thank you and all the best, – Aristeas (talk) 16:39, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updates for technical contributors

  • On wikis that use the FlaggedRevs extension, pages created or moved by users with the appropriate permissions are marked as flagged automatically. This feature has not been working recently, and changes fixing it should be deployed this week. Thanks to Daniel and Wargo for working on this. [13][14]

In depth

  • There is a new Diff post about Temporary Accounts, available in more than 15 languages. Read it to learn about what Temporary Accounts are, their impact on different groups of users, and the plan to introduce the change on all wikis.
