Neueste Technik-Nachrichten der Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft. Bitte informiere andere Nutzer über diese Entwicklungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen.

Letzte Änderungen

• Die neue Version des Inhaltsübersetzungswerkzeug wird genutzt für all die neuen Übersetzungen. Die alte Version wird aber weiterhin genutzt für Übersetzungen, die damit angefangen wurden. Die meisten Benutzer werden da keine Änderung sehen. Mehr als 80% der veröffentlichten Übersetungen nutzen bereits die neue Version. [1]

Probleme

• There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [2]
• The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [3]
• Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [4]

Recent changes

• More wikis are now testing visual editor section editing for mobile users. You can read more.
• Admins on French and Polish Wikipedia can block someone from editing a page or a namespace. If your wiki wants to get these blocks before they are available to all wikis, you can tell the developers. [6][7]

Problems

• A map update caused some problems on 29 March and 30 March. It was rolled back. [9]
• Pages on some Wikivoyages had problems with the top headline. This has been fixed. [10]

Changes later this week

• When you add an edit summary the VisualEditor will search your recent edit summaries in case you want to re-use one. This works in both the visual and wikitext modes on desktop. It also works on the mobile site. [11]
• The Wikimedia wikis will get a URL shortener. This will work from 11 April. You can read more. [12]
• The {{REVISIONID}} magic word will no longer work. This is for performance reasons. When you preview a page it will return "" (empty string). When you read a page it will return "-" (dash). For now this will only affect content namespaces. [13]

Future changes

• You will be able to preview references. This means that when you hover over the link you will get a popup that shows you a preview of the reference. It will work much like page previews. This is so you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will now be available as a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia. [14][15]
• The Wikidata JSON output will change. Empty containers will be serialised as empty objects. This is a breaking change that will affect tools that use JSON outputs and APIs. It will happen on 30 April. You can read more and see how to test your code.
