Tech News: 2024-50
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- Technical documentation contributors can find updated resources, and new ways to connect with each other and the Wikimedia Technical Documentation Team, at the Documentation hub on MediaWiki.org. This page links to: resources for writing and improving documentation, a new #wikimedia-techdocs IRC channel on libera.chat, a listing of past and upcoming documentation events, and ways to request a documentation consultation or review. If you have any feedback or ideas for improvements to the documentation ecosystem, please contact the Technical Documentation Team.
Updates for editors
- Later this week, will be relocated to a sidebar on desktop. Edit check is the feature for new editors to help them follow policies and guidelines. This layout change creates space to present people with that appear while they are typing. The show newcomers encountering Edit Check are 2.2 times more likely to publish a new content edit that includes a reference and is not reverted.
- The Chart extension, which enables editors to create data visualizations, was successfully made available on MediaWiki.org and three pilot wikis (Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wik.ipedia.Pros). You can see a working examples on Testwiki and read the November project update for more details.
- Translators in wikis where the mobile experience of Content Translation is available, can now discover articles in Wikiproject campaigns of their interest from the "All collection" category in the articles suggestion feature. Wikiproject Campaign organizers can use this feature, to help translators to discover articles of interest, by adding the
<page-collection> </page-collection>tag to their campaign article list page on Meta-wiki. This will make those articles discoverable in the Content Translation tool. For more detailed information on how to use the tool and tag, please refer to the step-by-step guide. [1] - The Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, now has a multiselect filter for namespace selection. This enables users to select multiple specific namespaces, instead of only one or all, when fetching pages for deletion.
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions. Thanks to Chlod and the Moderator Tools team for both of these improvements. [2]
- The Editing Team is working on making it easier to populate citations from archive.org using the Citoid tool, the auto-filled citation generator. They are asking communities to add two parameters preemptively,
archiveUrlandarchiveDate, within the TemplateData for each citation template using Citoid. You can see an example of a change in a template, and a list of all relevant templates. [3] - One new wiki has been created: a Wikivoyage in Indonesian (
voy:id:) [4] - Last week, all wikis had problems serving pages to logged-in users and some logged-out users for 30–45 minutes. This was caused by a database problem, and investigation is ongoing. [5]
View all 19 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug in the Add Link feature has been fixed. Previously, the list of sections which are excluded from Add Link was partially ignored in certain cases. [6][7]
Updates for technical contributors
- Codex, the design system for Wikimedia, now has an early-stage implementation in PHP. It is available for general use in MediaWiki extensions and Toolforge apps through Composer, with use in MediaWiki core coming soon. More information is available in the documentation. Thanks to Doğu for the inspiration and many contributions to the library. [8]
- Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. On December 4, the MediaWiki Interfaces team began rerouting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content endpoints on testwiki from RESTbase to comparable MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The team encourages active users of these endpoints to verify their tool's behavior on testwiki and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket before the end of the year, as they intend to roll out the same change across all Wikimedia projects in early January. These changes are part of the work to replace the outdated RESTBase system.
- The 2024 Developer Satisfaction Survey is seeking the opinions of the Wikimedia developer community. Please take the survey if you have any role in developing software for the Wikimedia ecosystem. The survey is open until 3 January 2025, and has an associated privacy statement.
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week. [9]
Meetings and events
- The next meeting in the series of Wikimedia Foundation discussions with the Wikimedia Commons community will take place on December 12 at 8:00 UTC and at 16:00 UTC. The topic of this call is new media and new contributors. Contributors from all wikis are welcome to attend.

I've reverted your revert because Category:Burials in Victoria (state) is a container category, that's not defining per WP:OCLOCATION. I included it in the original edit [11] comment In the future it would have been helpful for you to explain why you thought WP:OCLOCATION didn't apply, when you reverted.

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!
Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.
For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.
The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See the SUL3 project page for more details and a timeline.
Updates for editors
- On wikis with PageAssessments installed, you can now filter search results to pages in a given WikiProject by using the
inproject:keyword. (These wikis: Arabic Wik.ipedia.Pro, English Wik.ipedia.Pro, English Wikivoyage, French Wik.ipedia.Pro, Hungarian Wik.ipedia.Pro, Nepali Wik.ipedia.Pro, Turkish Wik.ipedia.Pro, Chinese Wik.ipedia.Pro) [12] - One new wiki has been created: a Wik.ipedia.Pro in Tigre (
w:tig:) [13] - View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed. [14]
Updates for technical contributors
Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the MediaWiki Interfaces Team in Phabricator if they arise.- Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI.
- For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 returned a JSON object with an integer in its
subfield, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. [15] - Many wikis currently use Cite CSS to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to not clean up your MediaWiki:Common.css until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output. [16]
Meetings and events
- The next meeting in the series of Wikimedia Foundation Community Conversations with the Wikimedia Commons community will take place on January 15 at 8:00 UTC and at 16:00 UTC. The topic of this call is defining the priorities in tool investment for Commons. Contributors from all wikis, especially users who are maintaining tools for Commons, are welcome to attend.

Australian naval history question — Battle of Leyte Gulf
Hello, Hawkeye —
Long time, no talk. Invasion of Leyte naval order of battle#Service Force Seventh Fleet (Task Group 77.7) lists the presumably Australian ammunition ship Ranvr. I'm skeptical about the existence of such a ship. Google and Wik.ipedia.Pro don’t know about it, it looks like a misspelling, and as you know, RANVR is the acronym for the Royal Australian Naval Volunteer Reserve. I suspect a misinterpretation of a source document. Do you have any insight here? Thanks, R/ the JMOprof ©¿©¬ 16:19, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, it is an error. I checked it against the source (Morison) and it seems that an editor confused the name of the skipper of HMAS Poyang, Lieutenant John Edwards, RANVR, with the name of a ship, just like you suspected. I have corrected the error, and while I was there I added links to the articles on the Australian ships. [17] Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:02, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, Hawkeye — Thank you. Making Wik.ipedia.Pro better, that’s what you do. Surely you know about the Iowa Hawkeyes?

Tech News: 2025-04
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using Extension:Nuke. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address. [18]
- On wikis that use the feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as "manually patrolled" instead of "autopatrolled", which is more accurate. Some editors that use on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings. [19]
- View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the Visual Editor's "Insert link" feature did not always suggest existing pages properly when an editor started typing, which has now been fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
- The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is being progressively removed from the wikis. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. The last group of wikis (Catalan Wikiquote, Wikimedia Finland, Goan Konkani Wik.ipedia.Pro, Kabyle Wik.ipedia.Pro, Portuguese Wikibooks, Wikimedia Sweden) will soon be contacted. If you have questions about this process, please ping Trizek (WMF) at your wiki. [20]
- The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: updates about services from the Data Platform Engineering teams, information about Codex from the Design System team, and more.

What are you on about?
What are you on about with your comment in Operation Mosaic? Making the section header names more sensible is a style change in some "blockable offence" category? That has got to be a joke, but let me check with you: are you serious?
I didn't touch the possibly semi-organised muddling up of short and full citation styles present in this article. Realising now that may be DELIBERATE and not just laziness or uneducated sloppiness or both, I won't eat that sandwich: that's the mess of whoever decided to deliberately do that, so they can clean it up – or not. I really don't think it matters long-term: as long as it is tagged suitably for automation, the way citations are presented to a given reader can eventually be selected by each user as a preference, and if they want to see it like it is here, they ought to be free to do that.
I just put the list of references into a section called "References" and the list of sources into a section called "Sources" … but you're saying something so logical as putting A with A and B with B is a deviation from the muddle here of such enormity (because it's distance to such logic is so very vast) it warrants "blocking"? I. Am. Flabbergasted. Genuinely flabbergasted. But please tell me (1) where the list of styles are enumerated, (2) exactly where each style is defined down to the section name, and (3) where the set of "blockable offences" are described. Elrondil (talk) 03:07, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- MOS:STYLERET:
Sometimes the MoS provides more than one acceptable style or gives no specific guidance. When either of two styles is acceptable it is generally considered inappropriate for a Wik.ipedia.Pro editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. See ArbCom decisions in June 2005, November 2005, and 2006
Hawkeye7 (discuss) 07:49, 21 January 2025 (UTC)- So you are saying there are TWO styles (that is, long form and short form). Nice. Totally agree with that. That is also how I read it all. And you shouldn't change from one to the other without consensus. Excellent, completely reasonable, and fully agree with that!
- Please have another look at Operation Mosaic, because its NEITHER of those two styles, but instead an organised mish-mash of the two styles you just said exist, with an accepted good standard practice being to move to a single style (presumably the predominant of the two). But DESPITE it being neither of the two you just said exist, (that is, its somewhere in-between: a hybrid for which you cannot now provide a definition that stipulates header names) you take it upon yourself to go with "blockable offense" nonsense that you now can't show to be a thing for boldly changing header names you cannot now show me to be part of this non-style. I think I have my answer regarding serious 🙁. Elrondil (talk) 08:21, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- There are not two styles; that is not what it says. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 08:42, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- You said
... when either of two styles is acceptable it is ...
. Now you saying there are more. Can you provide a list of the styles, and their definition? Elrondil (talk) 09:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)- There is no list of styles. WP:CITESTYLE:
While citations should aim to provide the information listed above, Wik.ipedia.Pro does not have a single house style, though citations within any given article should follow a consistent style. A number of citation styles exist, including those described in the Wik.ipedia.Pro articles for Citation, APA style, ASA style, MLA style, The Chicago Manual of Style, Author-date referencing, the Vancouver system and Bluebook.
Hawkeye7 (discuss) 09:31, 21 January 2025 (UTC)- But it's a "blockable offence" to not comply with a definition that doesn't exist, and by boldly changing the headings of two sections in an article implementing an undefined style to something not stipulated anywhere I'm committing a "blockable offence"? Elrondil (talk) 09:41, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- It is an offence to change the style used in an article to reflect your personal preferences. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 09:44, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- And by changing the names of two sections thereby resulting in the list of REFERENCES to be in a section called REFERENCES and the list of SOURCES to be in a section called SOURCES I am changing this non-defined style of yours to my "personal preference"? LOL!!! Do you understand how ridiculous that sounds? Elrondil (talk) 09:53, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- (TPS butting in):FYI, see also MOS:NOTES, which says "Editors may use any reasonable section and subsection names that they choose". Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- For the record, I am not protesting Hawkeye7's right to name sections whatever they want, I am protesting their heavy-handedness in implying me boldly naming a section with a list of references "References" and a section with a list of sources "Sources" is a "blockable offence". That cannot be a thing!
