Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- There is a new user right for users who can edit CSS and JavaScript for the entire wiki. Before this all admins could edit CSS and JavaScript. This was a security risk. This group is called interface administrators. Administrators can delete user CSS and JavaScript pages. [1][2]
- There will be an A/B test on the Wikipedia mobile website. It starts this week. It tests how we show templates that show information about an article. The test will last two weeks. [3][4]
- You can now use different CSS rules for different skins when you edit templates. This is because of TemplateStyles. [5]
wp10in ORES is now calledarticlequality. [6]- When you get a new message on your talk page you get a yellow message in the toolbar. The preference to show or not show this has been removed. [7]
Problems
- UploadWizard had problems with campaigns. Users could not upload files. This has now been fixed. [8]
- You can get a notification when a link is made to a page you created. This has not worked since June. It was fixed last week. [9]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 September. It will be on all wikis from 6 September (calendar).
Meetings
-
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 5 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The Wikimedia Foundation Readers department will work on advanced mobile editing. You can read more about this and other things they plan to work on over the next year. You can also see the presentation.

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 12 September 2018. On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- There will be code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

Recent changes
- When you added or edited a template with the visual editor the input boxes were very big. This has been fixed. The input boxes will now be smaller until you click on them. Then they will change size to fit the text. [11]
Problems
- Some diffs showed lines in the wrong order. This was fixed last week. [12]
- Marking a cross-wiki notification as read didn't work every time. The other wiki was not updated. This has now been fixed. [13]
<maplink>did not work for a few days. This was because of a bug. This has now been fixed. [14]{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}is used by some templates. For a period edits saved with{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}would save the previous user's name and not your username. This is now fixed. Edits made before the bug was fixed will still be wrong and need to be corrected. [15]- When you move a page the title still shows the old page name. The developers are working on fixing this. [16]
Changes later this week
- Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour. You can read more about this.
- Because of the data centre test there will be no new version of MediaWiki this week. Changes for this week will come next week instead.
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 Septmber at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The developers work on making the wikis work better on mobile phones. There is a list of common problems when making content easier to read in the mobile view. You can add things to the page and ask others to help.

The GFDL license on Commons
Du erhältst diese Nachricht, weil dein Wiki lokale Datei-Uploads ermöglicht. Hilf bitte mit, in deine Sprache zu übersetzen.
Auf Commons werden ab dem 14. Oktober keine Uploads von Fotos, Gemälden, Zeichnungen, Audio- und Videodateien mehr erlaubt sein, die ausschließlich die GFDL-Lizenz nutzen. Bücher, Anleitungen, Logos, Diagramme sowie Screenshots von Anleitungen für GFDL-Software bleiben weiterhin erlaubt. Außerdem bleiben Dateien erlaubt, die neben der GFDL-Lizenz eine andere akzeptierte Lizenz benutzen (z.B. Creative Commons BY-SA).
Es gibt kein Zeitlimit, um Dateien von anderen Projekten zu Commons zu transferieren. Es zählt lediglich das Lizenzierungsdatum, nicht das Upload- oder Erstellungsdatum. Jedes Wiki, das lokale Uploads erlaubt, sollte sicherstellen, dass Bots, Skripte und Vorlagen für die Übertragung auf Commons bei Bedarf angepasst werden. Gegebenenfalls müssen auch die lokalen Richtlinien angepasst werden.
Alle Wikis können frei entscheiden, ob sie weiterhin ausschließlich unter GFDL lizenzierte Dateien erlauben. Allerdings dürfen Fotos, Gemälde, Zeichnungen sowie Audio- und Videodateien, die nach dem 14. Oktober ausschließlich unter die GFDL-Lizenz gestellt werden, nicht mehr auf Commons veröffentlicht werden. — Alexis Jazz, veröffentlicht von Johan using MassMessage
