Tech News: 2025-21

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 Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: Peacock check. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Peacock language model for the following languages: Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Japanese. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org. The deadline to sign up is on May 23, which will be the start date of the test.

Updates for editors

• From May 20, 2025, oversighters and checkusers will need to have their accounts secured with two-factor authentication (2FA) to be able to use their advanced rights. All users who belong to these two groups and do not have 2FA enabled have been informed. In the future, this requirement may be extended to other users with advanced rights. Learn more.
• Multiblocks will begin mass deployment by the end of the month: all non-Wikipedia projects plus Catalan Wikipedia will adopt Multiblocks in the week of May 26, while all other Wikipedias will adopt it in the week of June 2. Please contact the team if you have concerns. Administrators can test the new user interface now on your own wiki by browsing to Speciale:Blloko?usecodex=1, and can test the full multiblocks functionality on testwiki. Multiblocks is the feature that makes it possible for administrators to impose different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. See the help page for more information.
• Later this week, the Speciale:FaqetSpeciale listing of almost all special pages will be updated with a new design. This page has been redesigned to improve the user experience in a few ways, including: The ability to search for names and aliases of the special pages, sorting, more visible marking of restricted special pages, and a more mobile-friendly look. The new version can be previewed at Beta Cluster now, and feedback shared in the task.
• The Chart extension is being enabled on more wikis. For a detailed list of when the extension will be enabled on your wiki, please read the deployment timeline.
• Wikifunctions will be deployed on May 27 on five Wiktionaries: Hausa, Igbo, Bengali, Malayalam, and Dhivehi/Maldivian. This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call functions from Wikifunctions and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of a stable and global function, rather than via a local template.
• Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for experiments. This is to showcase and get user feedback on product experiments. The experiments help the Wikimedia movement understand new users, how they interact with the internet and how it could affect the Wikimedia movement. Some examples are generated video, the Wikipedia Roblox speedrun game and the Discord bot.
• View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with creating an account using the API, which has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

• Gadgets and user scripts that interact with Speciale:Blloko may need to be updated to work with the new manage blocks interface. Please review the developer guide for more information. If you need help or are unable to adapt your script to the new interface, please let the team know on the talk page.
• The mw.title object allows you to get information about a specific wiki page in the Lua programming language. Starting this week, a new property will be added to the object, named isDisambiguationPage. This property allows you to check if a page is a disambiguation page, without the need to write a custom function.
• User script developers can use a new reverse proxy tool to load javascript and css from gitlab.wikimedia.org with mw.loader.load. The tool's author hopes this will enable collaborative development workflows for user scripts including linting, unit tests, code generation, and code review on gitlab.wikimedia.org without a separate copy-and-paste step to publish scripts to a Wikimedia wiki for integration and acceptance testing. See Tool:Gitlab-content on Wikitech for more information.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• The 12th edition of Wiki Workshop 2025, a forum that brings together researchers that explore all aspects of Wikimedia projects, will be held virtually on 21-22 May. Researchers can register now.

Ndihme

Pershendetje! Kisha kohe pa u futur ne Wikipedia, por po shoh se me eshte bllokuar adresa IP dhe s’po mundem te redaktoj. Me ndihmon dot? Dga2004 (diskutimet) 25 maj 2025 14:24 (CEST)

@Dga2004, përshëndetje! Çfarë mesazhi të paraqitet te i njëjti vend ku lexon për bllokimin? - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 26 maj 2025 11:51 (CEST)

@Klein Muçi me rezultonte IP-ja e bllokuar, 192.168.100.7. Por duket se dicka eshte bere, ka ndryshuar. Po e provoj serish dhe komunikojme. Te falenderoj Dga2004 (diskutimet) 26 maj 2025 13:35 (CEST)

Gjasat janë që IP-ja është sërish e bllokuar pasi është pjesë e ndonjë game të gjerë IP-sh që janë bllokuar globalisht por meqë tani po më shkruan nga llogaria (je kyçur/logged in) nuk prekesh më nga bllokimi. Unë s'do të shqetësohesha shumë për bllokime të tilla për sa kohë redaktimi nga llogaria nuk është prekur. Gjithë të mirat! - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 26 maj 2025 14:09 (CEST)

Tech News: 2025-22

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

• A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of Abstract Wikipedia is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content, and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

Updates for editors

• Since last week, on all wikis except the largest 20, people using the mobile visual editor will have additional tools in the menu bar, accessed using the new + toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is scheduled to happen in June.
• The #ifexist parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of Speciale:FaqeTëDëshiruara, which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated.
• This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch a new filter to Recent Changes, starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future.
• Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. Learn more.
• Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, WikiGames, a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
• The Newsletter extension that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of various newsletters for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue.
• View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• The previously deprecated ipblocks views in Wiki Replicas will be removed in the beginning of June. Users are encouraged to query the new block and block_target views instead.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• Wikidata and Sister Projects is a multi-day online event that will focus on how Wikidata is integrated to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. The event runs from May 29 – June 1. You can read the Program schedule and register.

Join us at the Next CEE Catch up! Learn about Temporary accounts!

Hi everyone,

We want to announce the tenth CEE Catch Up session, which will be dedicated to the Temporary accounts, as this important change is going to affect every Wikipedia soon, so it is important for patrollers and functionaries like you to understand this change. On wikis where temporary accounts are enabled, IP addresses of unregistered editors are not visible publicly. Only those who fight spam, vandalism, harassment and disinformation have access to IP addresses there.

The session will take place on 10th of June 2025, 18:00-19:00 CEST (check your local time).

If you are interested in this topic, then sign-up for the session here.

Tech News: 2025-23

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 Chart extension is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy Graph extension.

Updates for editors

• It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's citation generator. Administrators can now set a default template by using the _default key in the local MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json page (example diff). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when new item types are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template.
• View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using action=login or action=clientlogin will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using bot passwords or using a loginless authentication method such as OAuth are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using action=login without a bot password was deprecated in 2016. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses.
• From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is async/await syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• Scholarship applications to participate in the GLAM Wiki Conference 2025 are now open. The conference will take place from 30 October to 1 November, in Lisbon, Portugal. GLAM contributors who lack the means to support their participation can apply here. Scholarship applications close on June 7th.

Tech News: 2025-24

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 Trust and Safety Product team is finalizing work needed to roll out temporary accounts on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, see this update. If you have any comments or questions, write on the talk page, and join a CEE Catch Up this Tuesday.

Updates for editors

• The watchlist expiry feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The preferences also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback.

Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.

• The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias (some have already received this design change, a few will get these changes later). You can read details about the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt out of these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity").
• Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts revealed automatically during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards.
• This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of a new filter to Recent Changes, releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: Afrikaans Wikipedia, Belarusian Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, Welsh Wikipedia, Hawaiian Wikipedia, Icelandic Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia. The rollout will continue in the coming weeks to include the rest of the Wikipedias in this project.
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• AbuseFilter editors active on Meta-Wiki and large Wikipedias are kindly asked to update AbuseFilter to make it compatible with temporary accounts. A link to the instructions and the private lists of filters needing verification are available on Phabricator.
• Lua modules now have access to the name of a page's associated thumbnail image, and on some wikis to the WikiProject assessment information. This is possible using two new properties on mw.title objects, named pageImage and pageAssessments.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Growth News #34

A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.

Mentoring new editors

In February, Mentorship was successfully rolled out to 100% of newcomers on English Wikipedia. Following this milestone, we collaborated with Spanish Wikipedia to expand Mentorship coverage to 70% of new accounts, with plans to reach 85% soon unless concerns are raised by mentors. (T394867)

“Add a Link” Task – Iteration and Experimentation

Our efforts to improve and scale the “Add a Link” structured task continued across multiple fronts:

• Community Feedback & Model Improvements: We’ve responded to community concerns with targeted changes:
  • Restricting access to newer accounts (T393688)
  • Some links types were removed to align with recommendations written in the English Wikipedia Manual of Style (T390683)
  • Allowing communities to limit “Add a Link” to newcomers (T393771)
  • The model used to suggest the links was improved to ease its training (T388258)
• English Wikipedia rollout and A/B test: We increased the rollout to 20% of newcomers, with analysis underway. Preliminary data suggests this feature makes new account holders more likely to complete an unreverted edit. (T386029, T382603)
• Surfacing Structured Tasks: An experiment where we show “add a link” suggestions to newly registered users while they are reading an article is running on pilot wikis (French, Persian, Indonesian, Portuguese, Egyptian Arabic). Initial results are under analysis. (T386029)

Newcomer Engagement Features

• “Get Started” notification: Engineering is in progress for a new notification (Echo/email) to encourage editing among newcomers with zero edits. Early research shows this type of nudge is effective. (T392256)
• Confirmation email: We are exploring ways to simplify and improve the initial account confirmation email newly registered users receive. (T215665)

Community Configuration Enhancements

Communities can now manage which namespaces are eligible for Event Registration via Community Configuration. (T385341)

Annual Planning

The Wikimedia Foundation’s 2025–2026 Annual Plan is taking shape. The Growth and Editing teams will focus on the Contributor Experiences (WE1) objective, with a focus on increasing constructive edits by editors with fewer than 100 cumulative contributions.

Get Involved

We value your insights and ideas! If you would like to participate in a discussion, share feedback, or pilot new features, please reach out on the relevant Phabricator tasks or at our talk page, in any language.

Oversized non-free files

Hi! I made Përdoruesi:MGA73/ReduceNonFree.js as a test because I wanted to make it easy to reduce the size on non-free files. As you can see at Përdoruesi:MGA73/Non-FreeOversized many of the non-free files are bigger than 100,000 px. That is the limit English Wikipedia has per en:Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Image_resolution. I could not find a limit on sqwiki but I think files should not be too big. Do you know if there is a formal limit? If not I suggest that one is introduced.

The script should make it easy to downsize the files. But it does not work because only admins can upload a new version of a file. Sadly I spend looooong time trying to find the error before I found out. You are welcome to test it. MGA73 (diskutimet) 20 qershor 2025 21:02 (CEST)

Hi, I'm a reviewer on the project. Unfortunately there's no given limit to image size on Albanian Wikipedia, since the documentation is incredibly out-of-date here. I've been working to update it however any organized maintenance efforts in either mainspace or others is slow given our numbers. Fallbackintoreality / diskutimi / kontributet 21 qershor 2025 22:28 (CEST)

Hi Fallbackintoreality! Thank you! I suggest to use bots and scripts for tasks that can be fixed that way so humans do not have to spend time on it. And deleting files in Speciale:SkedaTëPapërdorura could be a good place to start. If the files are not in use and do not have a license or are non-free they should be deleted. The files in Kategoria:Non Licensed Images should be checked. If there are not enough users the help out an alternative is to mass delete all the files. So for example leave a notice on Village Pump and say everyone have 30 days to check and fix files and all files not fixed at the end of that limit will be deleted. --MGA73 (diskutimet) 21 qershor 2025 23:02 (CEST)

Klein is currently on a WikiBreak, so I'd like to page @Liridon for some help on this so we can sound the alarm with the other Albanian-speaking users. Right now our efforts have been focused on re-examining our featured articles (as evident by the notice message currently on the wiki for logged-in users).

Standardizimi i artikujve të vendbanimeve në Shqipëri

Përshëndetje Klein,

Jam duke punuar këto ditë me përpunimin dhe standardizimin e artikujve për vendbanimet në Shqipëri. Si shembull mund të marrësh Shtanën për të më dhënë vlerësim. Rreth kësaj teme kisha edhe disa pyetje:

• Emërtimi i artikujve bëhet zakonisht me trajtën e shquar të emrit të vendbanimit (p.sh. Kukësi). Kjo është në përputhje me rregullat, apo jo? Të vazhdoj kështu?
• Për fshatra me emra të njëjtë, cila formë duhet të zgjidhet për emërtimin e artikujve:
  • a) Emri i fshatit (emri i njësisë administrative)
  • b) Emri i fshatit (emri i bashkisë)
  • Mendoj se forma me bashkinë është më e qartë, dhe në rastet kur ka dy fshatra me të njëjtin emër në të njëjtën bashki, mund të përdorim njësinë administrative për dallim. Gjithashtu, a preferohet kllapa apo presja (si në Wikin anglisht) për këtë lloj diferencimi?
• Në rastet kur një vend është njëkohësisht fshat/qytet dhe njësi administrative/bashki (si Kolshi dhe Kolshi), a preferohet që të bashkohen në një artikull (si në Wikin anglisht, p.sh. en:Kukës) apo të mbahen të ndara?

Faleminderit paraprakisht për kohën dhe ndihmën! Xhulianoo (diskutimet) 21 qershor 2025 13:19 (CEST)

Kleini është në pushim për momentin, por për t'u përgjigjur pyetjeve:

• Artikujt për vendet gjithmonë titullohen në të shquar.
• Mënyra se si po përdoren kthjellimet e vendeve aktualisht është: shteti, pastaj bashkia, pastaj njësia administrative. Të shkruar me kllapa si në kthjellimet për Drinas dhe Arbanas.
• Evidente prej faktit që Tirana dhe Bashkia Tiranë janë artikuj të ndarë— jepi ndarazi lirisht.

Fallbackintoreality / diskutimi / kontributet 21 qershor 2025 23:20 (CEST)

Përshëndetje Arbër,

Edhe pse sa dua unë e shumë të tjerë që të bashkohemi një ditë, teknikisht Drinasi duhet të diferencohet nga shteti, apo jo? Dmth Drinasi (Kosovë) dhe Drinasi (Shqipëri). Xhulianoo (diskutimet) 23 qershor 2025 10:42 (CEST)

Teknikisht "Drinas" është emër alternativ për Ratkocin këtu n'Kosovë, prandaj nuk e di pse ka kthjellim. E pasna përzgjedhë një shembull shumë të keq... Fallbackintoreality / diskutimi / kontributet 23 qershor 2025 11:11 (CEST)

Tech News: 2025-26

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

• This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of a new filter to Recent Changes, releasing it to the third and last batch of Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Latin Wikipedia, Macedonian Wikipedia, Malayalam Wikipedia, Marathi Wikipedia, Norwegian Nynorsk Wikipedia, Punjabi Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, Telugu Wikipedia, Tagalog Wikipedia. The rollout will continue in the coming weeks to include the rest of the Wikipedias in this project.

Updates for editors

• Last week, temporary accounts were rolled out on Czech, Korean, and Turkish Wikipedias. This and next week, deployments on larger Wikipedias will follow. Share your thoughts about the project.
• Later this week, the Editing team will release Multi Check to all Wikipedias (except English Wikipedia). This feature shows multiple Reference checks within the editing experience. This encourages users to add citations when they add multiple new paragraphs to a Wikipedia article. This feature was previously available as an A/B test. The test shows that users who are shown multiple checks are 1.3 times more likely to add a reference to their edit, and their edit is less likely to be reverted (-34.7%).
• A few pages need to be renamed due to software updates and to match more recent Unicode standards. All of these changes are related to title-casing changes. Approximately 71 pages and 3 files will be renamed, across 15 wikis; the complete list is in the task. The developers will rename these pages next week, and they will fix redirects and embedded file links a few minutes later via a system settings update.
• View all 24 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug was fixed that had caused pages to scroll upwards when text near the top was selected.

Updates for technical contributors

• Editors can now use Lua modules to filter and transform tabular data for use with Extension:Chart. This can be used for things like selecting a subset of rows or columns from the source data, converting between units, statistical processing, and many other useful transformations. Information on how to use transforms is available.
• The all_links variable in AbuseFilter is now renamed to new_links for consistency with other variables. Old usages will still continue to work.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

• The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: the recent updates for the "Add a Link" Task, two new Newcomer Engagement Features, and updates to Community Configuration.

Propozoj heqjen e privilegjeve të administratorëve joaktivë

@Klein Muçi, Unë besoj se është e rëndësisë së veqantë të propozojmë "heqjen e titullit" administrator për "administratorët joaktivë", dhe të kandidojmë përdorues aktivë për administratorë të rinjë. Administratorët joaktivë po na vënë në një situatë të palakmueshme. Nuk ështe në rregull t'i gëzosh gjithë ato privilegje dhe të mos bësh asnjë redaktim të vetëm për vite me radhë. Administratorëve veteran mund të u shtohet një stampë e veqantë te faqja tyre që tregon se perdoruesi kishte të drejta administrative në shenjë mirënjohje. P.sh Admin Badge Icon - 2 vjet 2 muaj. Pra them të shqyrtohet aktiviteti i tyre (p.sh. asnjë redaktim apo veprim administrativ në 12 muajt e fundit), dhe në përputhje me praktikat e tjera të Wikipedias, t’u hiqen të drejtat nëse nuk ka arsye të forta për të mbajtur atë status. Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 29 qershor 2025 16:47 (CEST)

Aktualisht rregullorja thotë se privilegjet u hiqen vetëm atyre administratorëve që nuk kanë kryer asnjë veprim për 2 vjet. Kjo është forma më bazike e rregullores në nivel global dhe meqë SqWiki nuk ka një rregullore të posaçme të veten aplikohen rregullat e përgjithshme. Unë kam propozuar në të shkuarën që rregulli të ndryshohet nga 2 vjet ne 1 dhe që veprimet të jenë administrative në natyrë, sepse ka anëtarë që thjesht bëjnë një redaktim çfarëdo – mjafton dhe t'i shkruajnë një mesazh dikujt vetëm një herë – dhe vazhdojnë të mbajnë në mënyrë jo aq konkrete privilegjet e shtuara. Kjo "fryrje artificiale" e numrit të administratorëve shkakton vështirësi te përdoruesit për të gjetur një administrator aktiv kur kanë nevojë për ndihmë si dhe jep një element artificial bllokimi për kandidaturat e reja pasi kushdo mund të argumentojë që një komunitet kaq i vogël sa i yni nuk ka nevojë për një numër kaq të lartë administratorësh. Pas propozimit tim pati diskutim por nuk u ndërmor kurrë ndonjë veprim konkret në lidhje me të. Kjo dhe për arsye se kontrollimi i veprimeve administrative është disi i vështirë: Ti mund të shohësh lehtësisht kontributet e dikujt por nuk ke një tabelë të mirëfilltë me të gjitha grisjet apo mbrojtjet që ai person ka kryer. Nëse do të vinim një rregullore të tillë, do të duhej që paraprakisht të siguronim një mekanizëm kontrolli për këtë gjë dhe pastaj të mund të nisnim ta aplikonim, përndryshe do të ishte thjesht një rregull fiktiv. Këtu gjendet dhe diskutimi i shkuar në lidhje me këtë çështje. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 30 qershor 2025 11:47 (CEST)

Atëherë insistoj që të paktën të jetë 1 vit dhe që veprimet të jenë administrative në natyrë. Të njejtat defekte i pashë edhe unë, ne të përditësojmë rregulloren njëherë e pastaj merremi me mekanizmin dhe fillojmë filtrimin. Duhet të i'a nisim diku. Nesër e lexoj më thellësisht atë diskutim.. Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 1 korrik 2025 00:48 (CEST)

Unë dakord jam. "Veprime administrative < 1 për 1 vit => degradim" Nëse dëshiron ta propozosh e të kalohet do të isha dakord. Thjesht duhet diskutuar paraprakisht me Kujdestarët në Meta pasi ata janë të vetmit që kanë mundësi të heqin privilegjet e administratorëve (burokratët mundet vetëm t'i japin). Nëse ata thonë se nuk kanë mekanizma për ta zbatuar atë gjë, edhe nëse pranohet këtu, do të refuzohet nga ata për pazbatueshmëri. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 1 korrik 2025 15:16 (CEST)

@Klein Muçi, Na duhet që dikush t'i krijoj dy stampa të reja. | Në fund të diskutimit i kam cekur në pikën 5 . Pasi i siguruam votat është e udhës që pas përditësimit të dy rregulloreve dhe mbylljes së diskutimit të merreshe me këtë pjesë (Për paralajmërimet kemi një robot pak a shumë).

@Fallbackintoreality. - Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 13 korrik 2025 01:08 (CEST)

@Leutrim.P, si i imagjinon stampat në fjalë? Ke ndonjë shabllon të ngjashëm parasysh nga EnWiki ku mund të bazohem? - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 24 korrik 2025 03:05 (CEST)

Pika 5. "Na mbetet krijimi i stampës Stampa e ish-administratorit dhe Stampa e ish-burokratit, stampë mirënjohje për ish-administratorët që shtohet në krye të faqes në anën e djathtë, të jetë e ngjashme me "Administrator topicon". Këto stampa duhet të mund të shtohen apo hiqen në një faqe vetëm nga një Administrator/Burokrat." Une e imagjinoj në ngjyrë Ari (me ndonjë mundësi të shtohet periudha e të qenurit administrator pranë saj, ose klikimi i saj të qoj te faqja e kandidaturës të atij Admin-i). Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 24 korrik 2025 07:10 (CEST)

Krijova diçka që i përngjet një pllakate e mund të përdoret për administratorët e burokratët. Shiko njëherë si të duket te Përdoruesi:Klein Muçi/sandbox. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 28 korrik 2025 12:45 (CEST)

Besoj se kjo kryen punë, shumë mirë. Tani mund t'e mbylli diskutimin te Kuvendi. Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 29 korrik 2025 23:11 (CEST)

Stampa gjendet te {{Service plaque}} dhe mund të përdoret tashmë. Ndryshimet nga propozimi origjinal janë që nuk është e stilit "topicon" dhe mund të përdoret/vendoset nga kushdo (limitimi i saj me filtra redaktimi vetëm për redaktorët do të ishte pak "over the top" duke qenë se aktualisht atë metodë e kemi shfrytëzuar vetëm për stampat e grisjeve, si stampa shumë të rëndësishme). - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 1 gusht 2025 10:50 (CEST)

Weekly highlight

• Temporary accounts have been rolled out on 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias, including German, Japanese, French, and Chinese. Now, about 1/3 of all logged-out activity across wikis is coming from temporary accounts. Users involved in patrolling may be interested in two new documentation pages: Access to IP, explaining everything related to access to temporary account IP addresses, and Repository with a list of new gadgets and user scripts.

Updates for editors

• Anyone can play an experimental new game, WikiRun, that lets you race through Wikipedia by clicking from one article to another, aiming to reach a target page in as few steps and in as little time as possible. The project's goal is to explore new ways of engaging readers. Try playing the game and let the team know what you think on the talk page.
• Users of the Wikipedia Android app in some languages can now play the new trivia game. Which came first? is a simple history game where you guess which of two events happened earlier on today's date. It was previously available as an A/B test. It is now available to all users in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, and Chinese. The goal of the feature is to help engage with new generations of readers.
• Users of the iOS Wikipedia App in some languages may see a new tabbed browsing feature that enables you to open multiple tabs while reading.

Growth features - Mentorship and Community updates

​Hi everyone,

Wikimedia Foundation worked on evolving some of the growth features, primarily dedicated to the newcomers in our movement and communities. If you do not know, everyone can access them, activating them from Preferences (in the below of the page).

You can learn about these features here.

CEE Hub is contacting you (patrollers/admins) directly as we would like to bring to your attention two of these features that we think can be useful for your community: Mentorship and Community Updates.

We noticed that the majority of the CEE language editions of Wikipedia does not have active one of these features, so we are encouraging you to check whether your wiki has these features and if not to begin community discussion if you want to introduce them to your editors. If you want to check it, you need to go to the Special:CommunityConfiguration page on your wiki, where all of the growth features are listed.

If you need more support with this, please contact Growth team here.

Dyshim i një llogarie kukull

Ç'kemi Klein, jam t'u i vërejtë faqet që po krijohen. Së fundi u krijua një faqe e dytë për Davë Bulkun (që është subjekti i një votimi për grisje) tek Dava Bulku –Ambasadorja e Paqes nga Shqipëria në Bruksel. Faqen e parë e krijoi përdoruesi LILO SHEHU, dhe faqen e dytë e krijoi Toni910et. Jam shumë i sigurt që të dytë po vijnë nga i njëjti person, meqenëse po i shkelin të njëjtat rregulla (shquarësia e paqartë, burimet e cilësisë të ulët dhe të vetëpublikuara), dhe të dytë kanë arsyetuar veten kundër fshirjes me nëntitullin "Arsye perse nuk duhet fshire" ose "Arsye për të mos e grirë artikullin" në faqet përkatëse të diskutimit momentin kur iu shtua stampa për grisje. Nuk kemi checkuser-a për ta vërtetuar dhe nuk jam shumë i kuptueshëm me këtë aspekt të verifikimit, prandaj po të drejtohem ty me gjasa që mund të kesh më shumë dijeni për verifikim të IP adresës së këtyre. Fallbackintoreality / diskutimi / kontributet 20 korrik 2025 03:36 (CEST)

@Fallbackintoreality, ç'kemi? :) Fatkeqësisht administratorët nuk kanë informacion për IP-të e llogarive të përhershme (llogaritë e përkohshme janë llogaritë që përdorin përdoruesit kur nuk kanë një llogari). Siç e the, ne nuk kemi checkusers (rregullorja botërore e kërkon që të jenë minimalisht 2, mund të ofrohem unë një nëse ofrohet dhe një administrator tjetër për rolin) kështu që kërkesat për të duhet të bëhen në Meta te m:Steward requests/Checkuser. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 24 korrik 2025 02:36 (CEST)

@AT44, @Edukatori. Ndonjë vullnetarë?. - Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 24 korrik 2025 07:00 (CEST)

Në rregull, e shtroj unë kërkesën në Meta tash për tash. Ama do të ishte mirë me e pasë këtë punën e checkuserave të rregulluar dikur. Fallbackintoreality / diskutimi / kontributet 25 korrik 2025 00:20 (CEST)

Sapo të dalë dikush vullnetar që të bëhemi minimalisht 2, do të hap një votim në Kuvend atëherë. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 25 korrik 2025 01:30 (CEST)

Përshëndetje, mund të paraqitem edhe unë, por nuk besoj se do të arrijmë minimumin prej 25–30 redaktorësh për miratim. - AT44 (diskutimet) 29 korrik 2025 09:55 (CEST)

@AT44, ku i gjete këto vlera? Po përpiqesha të gjeja kushtet e shkruara diku por nuk ia dola. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 29 korrik 2025 11:12 (CEST)

Tek m:CheckUser_policy#Appointing_local_CheckUsers. - AT44 (diskutimet) 29 korrik 2025 11:50 (CEST)

Ah, e drejtë. 30 votues është e vështirë të gjenden për komunitetin tonë. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 29 korrik 2025 12:10 (CEST)

Ai kusht është për wikit me një Komitet Arbitrazhi, nuk vlen për ne sepse nuk e kemi një gjë të tillë. Fallbackintoreality / diskutimi / kontributet 29 korrik 2025 12:10 (CEST)

Tek paragrafi i trete i referohet "wiki without an Arbitration Committee". - AT44 (diskutimet) 29 korrik 2025 12:50 (CEST)

Dua të theksoj: "On a wiki without an Arbitration Committee that meets the criterion above, or in a project where there is a preference for independent elections, the community may approve local CheckUsers (stewards not counting as local CheckUsers) per consensus.

[Në një wiki pa një Komitet Arbitrazhi, ose në një projekt ku ka preferencë për zgjedhje të pavarura, komuniteti mund të miratojë CheckUserë lokalë (duke mos numëruar kujdestarët si CheckUserë lokalë) sipas marrëveshjes.]

Lejohemi të kemi marrëveshje në rast se preferohen zgjedhjet e pavarura. Obligimi nuk është që të presim për 25–30 persona, edhe pse do të ishte rasti më ideal. Fallbackintoreality / diskutimi / kontributet 29 korrik 2025 23:23 (CEST)

Ndihmë në kontrollin e rregullimeve në artikuj

Përshëndetje, Klein! Para disa vitesh kam kërkuar ndihmën tuaj për kontrollin e artikujve. Tani kam mësuar disa fakte të reja, të cilat më kanë detyruar të azhurnoj informacionin në artikujt e mi, në mënyrë që të përputhet me realitetin. A mund të më ndihmoni në kontrollin dhe publikimin e rregullimeve të mia? Artikujt janë këta:

https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVALB dhe https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/NimiTV

Faleminderit!

Krakozjabla (diskutimet) 21 korrik 2025 17:00 (CEST)

@Krakozjabla, përshëndetje!

@Leutrim.P ose @Fallbackintoreality mund të të ndihmojnë më mirë në çështjet me artikujt. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 24 korrik 2025 02:38 (CEST)

 U bë! Të dyja të shqyrtuara kohë më parë. Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 29 korrik 2025 23:43 (CEST)

Tech News: 2025-32

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

• Editors can now enable the User Info card. This feature adds an icon next to usernames on history pages and similar user-contribution log pages. When you tap or click on the icon, it displays data related to that user account such as the number of edits, reverted edits, blocks, and more. It's part of a broader project to make it easier for moderators to evaluate account trustworthiness. The feature can be enabled in your global preferences, and later this week it will be available in local preferences.
• Everybody is invited to share comments on Collaborative Contributions, a project recently launched by the Connection team. The project aims to create a new way to display the impact of collaborative editing activities (such as edit-a-thons, backlog drives, and WikiProjects) on the wikis. Post your comments on the project talk page.
• Administrators can now define the default block duration for temporary accounts. To do that, they need to create a page named MediaWiki:Ipb-default-expiry-temporary-account and use a value defined in MediaWiki:Ipboptions. This allows administrators to easily block temporary accounts for 90 days, which is functionally equivalent to an indefinite block. The advantage of this solution is that it does not clutter Special:BlockList. More documentation is available.
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• Gadgets can now include .vue files. This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using Vue.js, in particular using Codex, the official design system of Wikimedia. Codex icons can be loaded through the gadget definition. The documentation has examples. For user scripts that use Vue.js, an API module now exists to load Codex icons.
• Module developers can now use a Lua interface to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation on Meta-Wiki. This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation. Module developers and translators are invited to watch the demo video, read more about translatable modules to understand how it works, refer to Meta-Wiki's Module:User Wikimedia project for example usage, and share their feedback on how well it addresses the challenges in their workflow. The interface still has some performance issues, so it should not be used in widely used modules yet.
• Developers of external tools that connect to Wikimedia pages must set a user-agent that complies with the user-agent policy. This policy will start to be more strongly enforced in August because of external crawlers that are overusing Wikimedia's resources. Tools that are hosted on Wikimedia's Toolforge or Cloud VPS will not be affected by this for now, but should still set a user-agent. More technical details are available, and related questions are welcome in that task.
• Parsoid Read Views is going to be rolling out to some smaller Wikipedias over the next few weeks, following the successful transition of Wikivoyages and Wiktionaries to Parsoid Read Views. For more information, see the Parsoid/Parser Unification project page.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• Wikimania 2025 will run from August 6–9. The program is available for you to plan which sessions you want to attend. Most sessions will be live-streamed, with exceptions for those that show the "no camera" icon. If you are joining online to watch live-streams and use the interactive features, please register for a free virtual ticket. For example, you may be interested in technical sessions such as:
  • Wikimedia’s knowledge infrastructure in a changing internet: Establishing sustainable pathways for content reuse
  • Wikifunctions is coming soon to a wiki near you!
  • Shaping the Future of Wikipedia’s Reader Experience
  • Making Wikipedia More Readable: What Comes Next

Tech News: 2025-33

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

• The WikiEditor toolbar now includes its keyboard shortcuts in the tooltips for its buttons. This will help to improve the discoverability of this feature.
• The Product and Technology Advisory Council published a set of proposed experiments the Wikimedia Foundation can try to improve communication with community. Feedback on the proposals are welcomed until August 22 on this talk page.
• The search bar on the Minerva skin (mobile) has been updated to use the same type-ahead search component that is used on the Vector 2022 skin. There are no changes in search functionality but there are minor visual changes. Specifically, the close-search button has been changed from an "X" to a back arrow. This helps to distinguish it from the other "X" button that is used to clear any text.
• Editors on some wikis will see a new toggle for "Group results by page" on watchlist, related changes, and recent changes pages. This is an A/B experiment that is planned to start on August 11, and will run for 3–6 weeks on the Bengali, Chinese, Czech, French, Greek, Portuguese, and Urdu Wikipedias. The experiment will examine how making this feature more discoverable might affect editors' ability to find the edits they are looking for.
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• The multiwiki datasets of Unicode data have been moved to Category:Unicode Module Datasets on Wikimedia Commons, to follow the idea of "One common data source, multiple local wikis". Most wikis have been updated to use the Commons version. You can ask questions at the talkpage.
• Lua code can add warnings when something is wrong, by using the mw.addWarning() function. It is now possible to add more than one warning, instead of new warnings replacing old ones. If you maintain a Lua module that used warnings, you should check it still works as expected.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Updates for editors

• Template authors can now use additional CSS properties, since the CSS sanitizer used by TemplateStyles was updated. For example: width: fit-content; ruby-align; relative units such as lh; and custom strings in list-style-type. These improvements are a Community Wishlist wish.
• On large wikis, the default time period to display edits from, within the Special:RecentChanges page, has been changed from 7 days to 1 day. This is part of a performance improvement project. This should have no user-facing impact due to the quantity of edits on these wikis.
• Administrators can now access the Speciale:BlockedExternalDomains page from the Speciale:CommunityConfiguration list page. This makes it easier to find.
• Wikimedia Commons videos were not shown in the Videos tab in Google Search. The problem was investigated and reported to Google who have now fixed the issue.
• One new wiki has been created: a Wiktionary in Betawi (wikt:bew:)
• View all 39 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• Two fields of the recentchanges database table are being removed. rc_new and rc_type are being removed in favor of rc_source. Queries to these older fields will start to fail starting this week and developers should use rc_source instead. These older fields were deprecated over 10 years ago and should not be in use. This is part of work to improve the performance and stability of queries to the recentchanges table.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Riemërtimi i Wikipedia:Kontrolluesit

Përshëndetje Klein,

Siç e ke vënë re ndoshta dhe vetë, kohët e fundit jam marrë shumë me përkthime të ndërfaqes së MediaWiki-t në translatewiki.net. Për këtë arsye doja të të pyesja edhe për një përkthim që ka pak më shumë peshë se të tjerët, dhe që s'mund ta bëj pa u konsultuar me një administrator.

Termi "kontrollues" më duket disi i gjerë për kontekstin që ka. Nëse e marrim nga anglishtja, "kontrollues" përkthehet "checker", por në rastin tonë kontrolluesit thjesht kanë të drejtën të shqyrtojnë redaktime ("reviewer" në anglisht), dhe redaktimet e tyre shënohen automatikisht si të shqyrtuara (pranuara).

Prandaj, mendon se do të ishte më mirë ta zëvendësonim këtë term me "shqyrtues", meqë edhe folja që përdoret për veprimin është "shqyrto", jo "kontrollo"?

PS: Pak jashtë teme, por diçka tjetër që kam vënë re dhe që më "vret syrin" është fakti që te logoja majtas lart është shkruar Encikopedia e lirë, pra mungon një 'l' te fjala "Encikopedia". :P Xhulianoo (diskutimet) 28 gusht 2025 10:07 (CEST)

@Xhulianoo, përshëndetje! Po, e kam parë dhe të përgëzoj për zellin. Për shumë prej termave të përkthyer jam njoftuar automatikisht pasi unë kam qenë një nga kontribuesit kryesorë së fundmi andej. Qëllimi im në përkthime ka qenë që të ketë një stil të njësuar e të jenë fjalë më së shumti me rrënjë shqipe. Në fakt po mendoja të të flisja në lidhje me këtë por mendova që pjesa më kryesore është që stili të jetë i një standardi të vetëm dhe meqë po e merrje me themel, thashë të mos të të ndërpres zellin. Meqë më ra rasti, po munde do të këshilloja të shkoje drejt përdorimit të fjalëve "sa më shqip". Ndryshimet në Wikipedia shpeshherë kanë ndikim të madh në mënyrën se si flitet një gjuhë në rrjet.

Duke u rikthyer te tema, unë jam dakord për të dyja termat. Nëse gjykon se është më mirë të zhvendoset te WP:Shqyrto, WP:BE BOLD. Personalisht problemin kryesor e shoh te sistemi i kontrollit/shqyrtimit. Ne kemi një version shumë agresiv ku çdo ndryshim duhet kontrolluar paraprakisht. I tërë zgjatimi i kontrollit është një sistem i braktisur prej kohësh pa mbështetje teknike e shumë projekte kanë hequr dorë nga ai. (Ca e aktivizojnë vetëm për faqe që janë nën sulm/ndryshime të shpeshta.) Aktualisht është krijuar dhe një inteligjencë artificiale për kontroll që sërish ne nuk e kemi të aktivizuar. Shpresa ime ishte të zbrazej lista e ndryshimeve në pritje dhe pastaj ta hiqnim këtë formën agresive që kemi dhe të aktivizonim Automoderatorin e mbase pastaj të përqëndroheshim te përmbajtja e faqeve si WP:Kontrolluesit apo titulli i tyre që kanë vite pa u prekur. Por meqë zbrazja e listës po merr kohë përtej parashikimeve, besoj se mund të përfitojmë sa mundemi nga ndryshime si ky që propozon.

Në lidhje me stemën, unë e shoh me L. Mos ndoshta je gabuar? - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2025 15:07 (CEST)

Përshëndetje sërish @Klein Muçi,

E di që duhet të përdorim sa më shumë fjalë shqip, por fatkeqësisht, siç ndoshta e di edhe vetë, shumë terma në anglisht kanë një kontekst specifik që në shqip maksimumi mund t'u gjejmë një përkthim të përafërt, por jo fiks atë që duhet. Për shembull, fjala "section" nuk ka një përkthim të drejtpërdrejtë. Mund të përdorim "paragraf", që në fakt është përkthimi i "paragraph", ose ta "shqipëzojmë" në "seksion", siç kam bërë edhe unë. Edhe unë jam kundër këtyre shqipëzimeve, por fatkeqësisht një përdorues në shqip kupton më lehtë "section" apo "seksion" sesa "pjesë". Ose disa fjalë nuk mund t'i përkthesh dot fare, si p.sh. "cache". Thjesht jam duke shpjeguar pikëpamjen time dmth, se pse kam favorizuar terma të huaj. Megjithatë, së fundmi kam filluar të shkruaj sa më shumë shqip që të jetë e mundur gjithsesi, dhe i kam ndërruar termat e huaj. Ndërsa për njehsimin, edhe unë e kam pikë të dobët. Madje sa herë që gjej një përkthim më të mirë për një term, kthehem pas dhe i përditësoj të gjitha përkthimet e mëparshme që të jenë të njehsuara. Kështu që pa merak, e kam parasysh.

Bie dakord me ty që sistemi i kontrollimit strikt duhet të hiqet dalëngadalë. Për mua ka qenë arsyeja pse nuk kam redaktuar në Wiki-n shqip tërë këto kohë, dhe vetëm pasi u bëra kontrollues, fillova të redaktoj. Është demotivues (?) fakti që çdo redaktim duhet shqyrtuar, pasi mendoj që psikologjikisht njerëzit motivohen më shumë kur i shohin ndryshimet e tyre të publikohen direkt. Do të përpiqem të ndihmoj dhe aty, që të shqyrtohen sa më shpejt redaktimet e pashqyrtuara dhe të ndërrohet modeli.

Sa për logon, ashtu më shfaqet vërtet, e çuditshme. Kontrollova burimin e faqes dhe duket se serveri është duke i ofruar shfletuesit tim këtë imazh. Nuk e di si duket te ti. Xhulianoo (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2025 16:52 (CEST)

@Xhulianoo, unë shoh këtë: https://sq.wikipedia.org/static/images/project-logos/sqwiki.png

Ndoshta po e kontrollon nga celulari?

Unë do të kisha vajtur me "pjesë". Ne e përdorim dhe në jetën e përditshme "Pjesa hyrëse/mbyllëse". S'duhet të kemi frikë të flasim shqip dhe nëse shumica nuk flasin. Kjo thjesht parimisht se në përgjithësi jam dakord me ty dhe prandaj nuk kam ndërhyrë në përkthimet që ke bërë. Aktualisht kanë mbetur vetëm 400 redaktime për t'u kontrolluar. Me një angazhim të fundit mund t'i përmbyllim e t'i hapim rrugë ndryshimeve në lidhje me procedurat e shqyrtimit. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2025 18:57 (CEST)

A lejohet kjo forme emri?

https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%ABrdoruesi:Renamed_user_7aef79ad6a85ea8e0f85754cb4d4a1a456711e2a07cec57fd3c469f472bb41e6 .- Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2025 02:34 (CEST)

Po. Është pjesë e WP:VANISH. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2025 15:08 (CEST)

Ne rregull. - Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2025 15:19 (CEST)

Faqet e pashqyrtuara

Unë fillova sot, shpresoj që edhe të tjerë të ndihmojnë në zbrazjen e kësaj liste. Janë rreth 2415 artikuj të pashqyrtuar. Speciale:UnreviewedPages Etiketoni të tjerë që mund të ndihmojnë; @Klein Muçi, @Edukatori, @Fallbackintoreality, @Flladimi, @Lanceloth345, @Zbulimi, @AT44, @Berishasinan, @Olsi. - Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2025 02:44 (CEST)

@Leutrim.P, faleminderit për angazhimin! Hera-herës mundohem të kontrolloj dhe aty, megjithëse më së shumti përpiqem të zeroj listën e ndryshimeve në pritje te artikujt e shqyrtuar. Pyetja është a munden përdoruesit jo-administratorë të bëjnë kontrollime te ajo listë? Kam një përshtypje që nuk munden por mund të gabohem. - Klein Muçi (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2025 18:58 (CEST)

Lejohet për redaktorë, kontrollues e adminë. Të etiketuarit këtu kanë privilegje për të vepruar. - Leutrim.P (diskutimet) 29 gusht 2025 19:15 (CEST)

Tech News: 2025-36

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 Editing team wants to compile a list of templates, jargon terms, and policies used in edit summaries when a copyright violation is removed. This will help them identify the number of edits reverted due to copyright issues. We invite community members from the following Wikis to list these terms in T402601, or to share their list with Trizek_(WMF): Arabic Wikipedia, Czech Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, Spanish Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia, Japanese Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Vietnamese Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia. This project is open until September 9th 2025.

Updates for editors

• The CampaignEvents extension has been enabled for all Wikisources. The extension makes it easier to organize and participate in collaborative activities, like edit-a-thons and WikiProjects, on the wikis. The extension has three features: Event Registration, Collaboration List, and Invitation List. To request the extension for your wiki, visit the Deployment information page.
• The lists in the footer of the editing interface, such as "Templates used on this page," will now be organized into columns when there is enough space. This enhancement minimizes scrolling when editing lengthy articles on Wikipedia.
• On September 3rd, 2025 we will increase the sampling percentages of our group by toggle experiment of the Special:RecentChanges, Special:Watchlist, and Special:RelatedChanges pages on the Chinese, French, and Portuguese Wikipedias to 100 percent, allowing more editors to be part of this experiment. This adjustment is intended to ensure we have sufficient data to make informed decisions when evaluating the experiment results.
• Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading on English Wikipedia beginning the week of September 22. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. All non-English wikis received this change in June and July. The goal is to make it easier for users to find articles. Learn more.
• View all 37 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

• Wikifunctions now has a new capability called "lightweight enumeration types", an enumeration type is simply a fixed set of values that's in the type's definition. This capability makes it quick and easy to define such a type, and allows for the reuse of values that are already present in Wikidata. Here is a newsletter to learn more.
• The latest Readers Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: the formation of two new teams — Reader Growth and Reader Experience; insights into declining pageviews and account creations; highlights from the Wikimania Nairobi panel on improving the reading experience; upcoming experiments to engage new and existing readers; and more.

Meetings and events

• Spotlight on some Wikimania 2025 Sessions:
  • Identifying AI-generated text by searching for ISBNs whose checksums fail: Mathias Schindler of WMDE shared tools to help communities search for these.
  • La durabilité du mouvement Wikimedia face aux défis actuels et futurs: This session explored how Wikimedia can stay a trusted source of knowledge in the age of generative AI, information overload, and disinformation.

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 Editing team is working on a new check: Paste check. This check informs newcomers who paste text into Wikipedia that the content might not be accepted. This check is an effort to increase the likelihood that the new content people are adding to Wikipedia is aligned with the Movement's commitment to offering information under a free content license. This check will soon be tested at a few wikis. If your community is interested in this test, please tell us in this task, or contact the team.

Updates for editors

• Later this week, users of the "Theksim i përmirësuar i sintaksës" beta feature will be able to use a linting tool to see errors or other potential problems in wikitext in real time. See the help page for more information.
• When browsing a wiki (like en.wikipedia.org), the software responds in one of two ways: a desktop page, or a redirect to a mobile version on an "m" domain (like en.m.wikipedia.org). Over the next three weeks, MediaWiki will start displaying the mobile version to mobile devices directly on the standard domain, without this redirect. This change does not affect existing m-dot URLs, or the "Desktop view" opt-out. Learn more.
• When an edit changes the categories of a page, the changes to the category membership counts are now happening asynchronously. This improves the speed of saving edits, especially when moving many pages to or from the same category, and reduces the risk of site outages, but it means that the counts can show outdated information for a few minutes.
• Edits on Wikidata to qualifiers (properties and values) and references (properties and values) in a Wikidata item statement will now not add entries to the RecentChanges or Watchlist pages on all other Wikis. This is a temporary change to improve performance while other solutions are created. Wikidata's own pages remain unchanged. Learn more.
• Japanese-language wikis have had a major upgrade to the way that search works. The new search should generally give more accurate and more relevant search results.
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Tech News: 2025-38

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

• References lists that are made using the <references/> tag will now automatically display with columns in Vector 2022 when readers are using its 'standard' settings for text-size and page-width.
• Starting in the week of October 6, on small wikis and medium wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled, all autoconfirmed users will be able to use Event Registration as an organizer. No changes will be made for large wikis unless requested in Phabricator. This change is being made to make it easier for more people to use Event Registration, especially on wikis that are less likely to have policies related to the Event Organizer right. Learn more.
• Users that search using regular expressions (regex) can now use additional features including:
  • for the intitle: keyword: metacharacters for start-of-line (^) and end-of-line ($) anchors
  • for both intitle: and insource: keywords: shorthand character classes for digits (\d), whitespace (\s), and word characters (\w); and escape codes for line feed (\r), newline (\n), tab (\t), and unicode (e.g. \uHHHH).
• When you search for text that looks like an IP, the system will now show search results. It used to take you to the contributions for that IP instead of showing search results.
• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 24. This is planned at 15:00 UTC. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests which happen twice a year. You can read more about the background and details of this process on the Diff blog.
• View all 24 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug was fixed that affected users who used the page-tabs to switch from wikitext editing of a section into the visualeditor.

Updates for technical contributors

• The MediaWiki Interfaces team is redesigning the Wikimedia REST API Sandbox with Codex. If you have feedback on improvements for the API documentation or what makes developer experiences smooth (or frustrating), you’re invited to join an upcoming discovery interview, or leave feedback onwiki. Learn more.
• Edits to Wikidata aliases (an alternative name for an item or a property) will now be shown in RecentChanges and Watchlist entries on other wikis less often, reducing unnecessary notifications. This will reduce the overall quantity of 'noisy' entries. Wikidata's own pages remain unchanged. Learn more.
• The new Unicode 17.0 version has been released. The datasets on Commons for the Module:Unicode data have been updated. Wikipedias that do not use the Commons datasets should either update their own data or switch to the Commons datasets.
• Users of the Wikimedia Enterprise Structured Contents endpoints can now access Parsed Tables. The new Parsed Tables feature extracts and represents Wikipedia tables in structured JSON. This improves machine accessibility as part of the Structured Contents initiative. Structured Contents output is freely available through the On-demand API, or through Wikimedia Cloud Services.
• A dataset of English Wikipedia biographical information from Wikimedia Enterprise has been published on Kaggle, for evaluation and research. This provides structured data from more than 1.5 million biographies, including birth and death dates, education, affiliations, careers, awards, and more (from a June 2024 snapshot).
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• Scholarship applications for Wikimania 2026 in Paris, France, are open until October 31.

Tech News: 2025-39

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

• On September 24th at 15:00 UTC, all Wikimedia sites users will experience a brief read-only period due to a scheduled datacenter server switchover. The Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team will redirect all traffic from one primary server to its backup. You can listen to the switchover using the "Listen to Wikipedia" tool, where you will hear edits stop for a few minutes during the read-only phase, then resume. This twice-yearly datacenter server switchover ensures reliability by testing the backup datacenter, so that our sites can stay online even if the primary datacenter fails. You can read more about the process on the Diff blog.

Updates for editors

• Editors of 60 more Wiktionaries will soon be able to call functions from Wikifunctions and integrate them into their pages. A function takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, like adding numbers, converting miles to meters, calculating elapsed time, or declining a word into a case. They will join the other 65 Wiktionary language editions, which already have access to embedded Wikifunctions calls. Later this year, plans are in place to expand to more Wiktionaries and the Incubator.
• A new parser function has been added: {{#contentmodel}}. Template editors and admins can use it to get the localized or canonical name of the content model of a specific page. The function makes it easier to create and edit system messages, such as MediaWiki:editinginterface, even when you switch types of pages, like wiki, JavaScript, CSS or JSON page.
• Adding or editing a DISPLAYTITLE for an article using VisualEditor will no longer be broken. Editors who use VisualEditor mode to modify the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} would no longer have the literal text "DISPLAYTITLE" or its localized variant added to their articles. A list of pages that may have been affected and might need cleanup is documented in this ticket.
• Beta users of the Wikipedia Android app can now try the redesigned Activity tab, which replaces the Edits tab. The new tab offers personalized insights into reading, editing, and donation activity, while simplifying navigation and making app use more engaging.
• View all 12 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

• Wikifunctions users can now import many essential facts involving geo-coordinates, quantities and time values from Wikidata. This is made possible by the creation of Wikifunctions types for these values, which makes them available for use by functions in Wikifunctions. Learn more about how this works in this video and Wikifunctions' August 1 newsletter (for quantities) and August 22 newsletter (for geo-coordinates).

Tech News: 2025-40

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

• A major software upgrade has been made to Phabricator. The update introduces performance improvements, a refreshed search interface, enhancements to Maniphest task search, updates to user profile pages and project workboards, new Herald automation features, as well as general text input, mobile experience improvements and more.

Updates for editors

• The Community Tech team will release the new Community Wishlist extension on October 1, that will improve the way wishes will be submitted. The new extension will allow users to add tags to their wishes to better categorise them, and (in a future iteration) to filter them by status, tags and focus areas. It will also be possible to support individual wishes again, as requested by the community in many instances. The old system will be retired. There will be a brief period of downtime while the extension is deployed and wishes are migrated to the new system. You can read more about this in the latest update or you can consult the current documentation on MediaWiki.
• As announced on Diff blog, the production trial of the hCaptcha service for bot detection has begun. The trial is currently using hCaptcha to protect account creation on Chinese, Persian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese, and Turkish Wikipedias, where it will replace our existing CAPTCHA (FancyCaptcha). The goal with the trial is to better block bots while also improving usability and accessibility for users who encounter CAPTCHA challenges.
• The CampaignEvents extension has been deployed to Wikimedia Commons. The extension makes it easier to organize and participate in collaborative activities, like edit-a-thons and WikiProjects, on the wikis. On Commons, anyone who is a registered user can use it as an event participant. To use it as an organizer, someone needs to have the event organizer right.
• Sub-referencing, a new feature to re-use references with different details has been released to German Wikipedia. You can test the feature on testwiki or on betawiki as well. Please share your thoughts on using templates in sub-references or volunteer to become a pilot wiki.
• On wikis using the Mentorship system, communities can now opt experienced editors out of Mentorship through Speciale:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship. Within this setting, communities may define thresholds, based on edit count and account age, to decide when an editor is considered experienced enough to no longer receive Mentorship.
• The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: Tone check. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Tone language model for the following languages: Arabic, Czech, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Farsi, Italian, Norwegian, Romanian and Latvian. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org. The deadline to sign up is on October 3, which will be the start date of the test.
• The rollout of multiblocks had the side effect that non-active block logs may have been shown on Speciale:Kontributet and on blocked users' user and user_talk pages. This issue will be fully resolved in a few days. As part of the fix, messages prefixed with sp-contributions-blocked-notice will be removed and replaced with those prefixed with blocked-notice-logextract in a few weeks. Please help translate the new messages and update any local overrides if needed.
• There was a bug with links added using visual editor if they included characters such as [ ] | after the fragment identifier (#). They were not encoded properly creating an incorrect link. This has been fixed.
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikiquote in Malay (q:ms:)
• View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the User Info Card now displays currently active global lock/blocks.

Updates for technical contributors

• Later this week, editors using Lua modules will be able to use the mw.title.newBatch function to look up the existence of up to 25 pages at once, in a way that only increases the expensive function count once.
• A new Unsupported Tools Working Group has been formed as part of ongoing efforts to collectively determine technical work priorities, similar to the Product & Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). The working group will help prioritize and review requests for support of unmaintained extensions, gadgets, bots, and tools. For the first cycle, the group will be prioritizing an unsupported Wikimedia Commons tool.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Tech News: 2025-41

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

• Paste Check is a new Edit Check feature to help avoid and fight copyright violations. When editors paste text into an article, Paste Check prompts them to confirm the origin and licensing of the content. Starting Wednesday, 8 October, 22 wikis will test Paste Check. Paste Check will help new volunteers understand and follow the policies and guidelines necessary to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia projects.

Updates for editors

• Mobile devices will receive mobile articles directly on the standard domain (like en.wikipedia.org), instead of via a redirect to an "m" domain (like en.m.wikipedia.org). This change improves performance. This week it will be enabled on Wikipedias. The existing mobile URLs and the "Desktop view" opt-out remain available. Learn more.
• New date filters, creationdate: and lasteditdate:, are now available in the wiki search engine. This allows users to filter search results by a page's first or last revision date. The filters support comparison operators (e.g. >2024) and relative dates (e.g. today-1d), making it easier to find recently updated content or pages within specific age ranges.
• Wikifunctions now supports rich text in embedded calls across the 150 wikis where it's enabled. To showcase this, the team created a Latin declination table that Wiktionary editors can use to automatically generate noun forms, producing clear, formatted results — see an example output. If you need any help or have any feedback, please contact the Wikifunctions Team.
• An edit link will now appear inside the categories box on article pages for logged in users, which will directly launch the VisualEditor category dialog.
• View all 34 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a problem downloading pdf files last week and that has been resolved.

Updates for technical contributors

• The field rev_sha1 in the revision database table is being removed in favor of content_sha1 in the content database table. See the announcement for more information.
• The Reader Experience team will roll out Dark Mode user interface on all Wikimedia sites on October 29, 2025. All anonymous users of Wikimedia sites will have the option to activate a color scheme that features light-colored text on a dark background. This is designed to provide a more comfortable reading experience, especially in low-light situations. Template authors and technical contributors are encouraged to learn how to make pages ready for Dark mode and address any compatibility issues found in templates in their wiki before the enablement. Please contact the Web team for questions or any support on this talk page before the enablement.
• Starting on Monday, October 6, API endpoints under the rest.php path will be rerouted through a new internal API Gateway. Individual wikis will be updated based on the standard release groups, with total traffic increased over time. This change is expected to be non-breaking and non-disruptive. If any issues are observed, please file a Phabricator ticket to the Service Ops team board.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Tech News: 2025-42

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

• Last week, improvements to account security and two-factor authentication (2FA) features were enabled across all wikis. These changes include user interface improvements for Special:AccountSecurity, the support of multiple 2FA methods via authenticator apps and portable security keys (previously users could only enable one method), and a new Recovery Codes module which facilitates fewer account lockouts due to lost two-factor apps and devices. As part of the Account Security project, work is continuing through the rest of 2025 on further user experience improvements, and support for passkeys as an alternate second factor.

Updates for editors

• Another part of the Account security project is making 2FA generally available to all users. Along with editors with advanced privileges, such as administrators and bureaucrats, 40% of editors now have access to 2FA. You can check if you have access at Special:AccountSecurity. Instructions for activation are on the linked page. The plan is to continue increasing availability if it is determined that the user support capabilities are able to support global usage.
• This week, users at wikis where talk page Usability Improvements are already available by default (everywhere except the 12 wikis listed in T379264) will gain the ability to Thank a comment directly from the talk page it appears on. Before this change, Thanking could only be done by visiting the revision history of the talk page. You can learn more about this change.
• Users who have not verified their email address will soon be receiving monthly Notification reminders to do so. This is because users who have verified their email can more easily recover their account. These reminders will not be sent if the user is inactive or removes the unverified email from their account.
• View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a fix was made for an occasional error with saving translated paragraphs in the Content Translation tool, and the related error messages are now easier to see.

Updates for technical contributors

• The Unsupported Tools Working Group has chosen Video2Commons as the first tool for its pilot cycle. The group will explore ways to improve and sustain the tool over the coming months. Learn more on Meta.

Growth News #35

A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.

New releases

English Wikipedia gets "Add a Link" Structured Task

We released the "Add a Link" Structured Task to 100% of accounts at English Wikipedia on Tuesday, September 2nd (before then it was available to 20% of accounts).

Growth features for Wikidata

After examining if the Growth features and Mentorship could be adapted to Wikidata, we activated the Growth features on Beta Wikidata to allow for testing and discussion (T400937). Although some features, like Suggested Edits, are Wikipedia-specific, the Growth team designed most features to be more wiki-agnostic.

Work in progress

Revise Tone Structured Task

The Growth team is making progress on the technical architecture, onboarding design, and early user testing. We are targeting an A/B test before the end of this year, with constructive edits by newcomers as the primary success metric.

Add a link to more wikis

The machine learning team has been working on a new model that can suggest links to more languages, including Urdu, Chinese, and Japanese Wikipedias. We are starting to release the “Add a Link” feature to Wikipedias that weren’t supported by the previous model.

Add a link, which can be configured by the community locally, increases the chance that a new contributor will make their first edit and then continue to participate in Wikipedia.

Research

The Growth team is involved in several research initiatives to help guide our future work:

Progression System – We have published initial findings from interviews with 10 English and French Wikipedia newcomers. The research examined motivations, challenges, and feedback on a prototype system intended to help editors build confidence, develop skills, and contribute more constructively over time.

Mobile Web Editing Research – This project combines quantitative and qualitative data, community feedback, and user journey analysis to identify possible ways to enhance the mobile editing experience.

Newcomers Survey – This project surveys successful newcomers on English Wikipedia to understand their early editing experiences, tool use, and community interactions.

Community events

The Growth team participated in several community events to listen, share, and collaborate on improving newcomer experiences across Wikimedia projects.

Wikimania - Organizers as key partners to support newcomers' growth in our movement

This session invited organizers to share how they introduce newcomers to Growth features and the challenges they encounter. The discussion focused on common newcomer questions and opportunities to strengthen collaboration in supporting new editors.

Wikimania - Lightning Talk: Structured Tasks

This talk demonstrated how Structured Tasks help newcomers take their first successful steps on Wikipedia. It shared impact data, community configurations, and a demo of “Add a Link,” illustrating how these tasks make editing more accessible and sustainable, particularly for mobile contributors.

Wikimania - Building a Sustainable Future for Wikimedia Contributors

With active editor numbers declining, the Contributors Strategy aims to create a clearer, more engaging path for participation. This session, led by the WMF Contributors group with involvement from the Editing, Growth, Moderator Tools, and Connection (formerly Campaigns) teams, highlighted efforts to streamline contributor experiences, offer structured and mobile-friendly workflows, and foster meaningful engagement. Participants learned about ongoing initiatives and shared feedback to help shape a more inclusive and sustainable future for Wikimedia contributors.

CEE Meeting - Retaining beginners and improving content moderation: an inclusive and sustainable future for Wikipedia contributors

Many communities face a decline in volunteer engagement. Newcomers often leave soon after joining, while experienced editors struggle to manage increasingly complex workflows and overwhelming backlogs. We presented the Contributors Strategy and the different features and workflows that can help communities to address these challenges. We listened to the specific needs of the CEE communities to help guide the Contributors teams' work.

Tech News: 2025-44

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

• The Wikipedia iOS app has launched an A/B/C test of improvements made to the tabbed browsing feature for select regions and languages. The test, named “More dynamic tabs”, explores new tab experiences and includes “Did you know” and “Because you read” article recommendations. You can read more on the project page.
• Autoconfirmed users on small and medium wikis with the CampaignEvents extension can now use Event Registration without the Event Organizer right. This feature lets organizers enable registration, manage participants, and lets users register with one click instead of signing event pages.
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue of flashing colors when holding or pressing the arrow keys under the dark mode settings in Vector 2022 has been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

• The CampaignEvents extension will be deployed to all remaining wikis during the week of 17 November 2025. The extension currently includes three features: Event Registration, Collaboration List, and Invitation List. For this rollout, Invitation List will not be enabled on Wikifunctions and MediaWiki unless requested by those communities. Visit the deployment page to learn more.
• The SwaggerUI-based REST sandbox experience is now live on all wiki projects. The sandbox can be accessed through the Speciale:RestSandbox page. Please report any issues to the MediaWiki Interfaces team board, or join the discussion on the project launch page.
• Transform endpoints with a trailing slash path in the MediaWiki REST API are now marked as deprecated. They will remain functional during this time, but removal is expected by the end of January 2026. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found and tested using the REST Sandbox. See the MediaWiki REST API Deprecation page for more detailed information about the API deprecation policies and procedures.
• A dedicated changelog now exists for the MediaWiki REST API. The changelog provides an overview of these changes, making it easier for developers to keep track of improvements and iterations. Announcements will also continue to flow through the standard communication channels, including Tech News and email distribution lists, but can now be more easily referenced from a central location. If you have feedback about the style, structure, or content of this changelog, please join the discussion.
• Administrators can delete the tracking category which was previously added by the JsonConfig extension, as it is no longer used. See the categories linked from Q130635582. It is OK if there are still pages listed in the category as that is just a caching issue, and they will be automatically cleared out the next time each page is edited.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Tech News: 2025-45

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 will now find that Speciale:MergeHistory is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start).
• For users with "Abonohu automatikisht në tema" enabled in their preferences, starting a new topic or adding a reply to an existing topic will now subscribe them to replies to that topic. Previously, this would only happen if the DiscussionTools "Shto temë" or "Përgjigju" widgets were used. When DiscussionTools was originally launched existing accounts were not opted in to automatic topic subscriptions, so this change should primarily affect newer accounts and users who have deliberately changed their preferences since that time.
• Scribunto modules can now be used to generate SVG images. This can be used to build charts, graphics and other visualizations dynamically through Lua, reducing the need to compose them externally and upload them as files.
• Wikimedia sites now provide all anonymous users with the option to enable a dark mode color scheme, featuring light-colored text on a dark background. This enhancement aims to deliver a more enjoyable reading experience, especially in dimly lit environments.
• Users with large watchlists have long faced timeouts when editing Special:EditWatchlist. The page now loads entries in smaller sections instead of all at once due to a paging update, allowing everyone to edit their watchlists smoothly. As part of the database update, sorting by expiry has been removed because it was over 100× slower than sorting by title. A community wish has been created to explore alternative ways to restore sort-by-expiry. If this feature is important to you, please support the wish!
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the fixing of the persisting highlighting when using VisualEditor find and replace during a query.

Updates for technical contributors

• Since 2019 the Wikimedia URL Shortener at https://w.wiki is available for all Wikimedia wikis to create short links to articles, permalinks, diffs, etc. It is available in the sidebar as "Get shortened URL". There are 30 wikis that also install an older "ShortUrl" extension. The old extension will soon be removed. This means /s/ URLs will not be advertised under article titles via HTML class="title-shortlink". The /s/ URLs will keep working.
• On Thursday, October 30, the MediaWiki Interfaces and SRE Service Operations teams began rerouting Action API traffic through a common API gateway. Individual wikis will be updated based on the standard release groups, with total traffic increased over time. This change is expected to be non-breaking and non-disruptive. If any issues are observed, please file a Phabricator ticket to the Service Ops team board.
• MediaWiki Train deployments will pause for the final two weeks of 2025: 22 December and 29 December. Backport windows will also pause between Monday, 22 December 2025 and Thursday, 2 January 2026. A backport window is a scheduled time to add things like bug fixes and configuration changes. There are seven deployment trains remaining for 2025.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

• In 2025, the Wikimedia Foundation reported that AI systems and search engines increasingly use Wikipedia content without driving users to the site, contributing to an 8% drop in human pageviews compared to 2024. After detecting bots disguised as humans, Wikimedia updated its traffic data to reflect this shift. Read more about current user trends on Wikipedia in a Diff blog post.

Tech News: 2025-46

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

Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.

• Starting November 12, users will see a change in the appearance of talk pages on some Wikipedias. Almost all wikis have received this design change; English Wikipedia will get these changes later. You can read more on Diff. Users can opt out of these changes in their user preferences in "Show discussion activity".
• MediaWiki can now display a page indicator automatically while a page is protected. This feature is disabled by default. It can be enabled by community request.
• Using the "Parapamje" or "Shfaq ndryshimet" buttons in the wikitext editor will now carry over certain URL parameters like 'useskin', 'uselang' and 'section'. This update also fixes an issue where, if the browser crashed while previewing an edit to a single section, saving this edit could overwrite the entire page with just that section’s content.
• Wikivoyage wikis can use colored map markers in the article text. The text of these markers will now be shown in contrasting black or white color, instead of always being white. Local workarounds for the problem can be removed.
• The Activity tab in the Wikipedia Android app is now available for all users. The new tab offers personalized insights into reading, editing, and donation activity, while simplifying navigation and making app use more engaging.
• The Reader Growth team is launching an experiment called "Image browsing" to test how to make it easier for readers to browse and discover images on Wikipedia articles. This experiment, a mobile-only A/B test, will go live on English Wikipedia in the week of November 17 and will run for four weeks, affecting 0.05% of users on English wiki. The test launched on November 3 on Arabic, Chinese, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese wikis, affecting up to 10% of users on those wikis.
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example the inability to lock accounts on mobile sites has been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

• Nominations are open on Wikitech for new Toolforge standards committee members. The committee oversees the Toolforge Right to fork policy and Abandoned tool policy among other duties. Nominations will remain open through 2025-11-28.
• The JWT issuer field in OAuth 2 access tokens for SUL wikis has been changed to https://meta.wikimedia.org. Old access tokens will still work.
• The JWT subject field in OAuth 2 access tokens will soon change from <user id> to mw:<identity type>:<user id>, where <identity type> is typically CentralAuth: (for SUL wikis) or local:<wiki id> (for other wikis). This is to avoid conflicts between different user ID types, and to make OAuth 2 access tokens and the sessionJwt cookie more similar. Old access tokens will still work.
• MediaWiki's block messages (blockedtext, blockedtext-partial, autoblockedtext, systemblockedtext, blockedtext-tempuser, autoblockedtext-tempuser) now support additional parameters indicating whether the user is blocked from editing their own user talk page $9 or emailing other users $10.
• A REL1_45 branch for MediaWiki core and each of the extensions and skins in Wikimedia git has been created. This is the first step in the release process for MediaWiki 1.45.0, scheduled for late November 2025. If you are working on a critical bug fix or working on a new feature, you may need to take note of this change.
• The process for generating CirrusSearch dumps has been updated due to slowing performance. If you encounter any issues migrating to the replacement dumps, please contact the Search Platform Team for support.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
