Tech News: 2024-40
[edit]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
- Readers of 42 more wikis can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the night-mode-checker tool if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The recommendations page provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month.
- Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding
?veaction=editsourceto the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in your preferences. [1] - For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the "donate" link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to "Create an account". This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin. Learn more about the changes related to donor experiences. [2]
- The CampaignEvents extension provides tools for organizers to more easily manage events, communicate with participants, and promote their events on the wikis. The extension has been enabled on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki. Chinese Wikipedia has decided to enable the extension, and discussions on the extension are in progress on Spanish Wikipedia and on Wikidata. To learn how to enable the extension on your wiki, you can visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-Wiki.

Updates for technical contributors
- Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should check if any action is required for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis.
In depth
- The server switch was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of only 2 minutes 46 seconds. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes. [3]
Meetings and events
- October 4–6: WikiIndaba Conference's Hackathon in Johannesburg, South Africa
- November 4–6: MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 in Vienna, Austria

Hello, CFA,
If you are fixing a bad page move PLEASE leave a redirect behind even when it's a bad page title like this. Because you didn't, there were over 50 broken redirects that should have pointed to Al Gore but were pointing to this page instead. If you leave a redirect, then our bots will fix the double redirects and point all of the valid redirects to the right page and this bad redirect can be deleted. For some reason, page movers on this project don't like to leave redirects even when the result is broken redirects so if you choose to not leave one, please check "What links here" and repair all of these dozens of redirects manually. That's a lot more time consuming so I recommend leaving a redirect and letting the bots handle this. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:05, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, that makes sense. I didn't realize the double redirect bots were so quick. C F A 💬 14:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
User:Poshto philosopher moved to sandbox
[edit]I noticed that you had tagged User:Poshto philosopher for speedy deletion. I moved it to the user's sandbox instead. If the text on a user page looks like a potential article, I recommend moving it to the sandbox or draftifying it rather than deleting it. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:52, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- I get your point in general, but that "article" would qualify for U5 in a sandbox as well. Wikipedia is not supposed to be a place for personal essays. C F A 💬 20:17, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Enjoy the reading! -- User:Sannita (WMF) (talk) 08:42, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Sinwar
[edit]Come on, what's your problem? This is not what I am saying, but what many others are saying. Sinwar is Israel's supposed number one enemy, so how can it eliminate Nasrallah, who holds a higher position than Sinwar, but cannot eliminate someone who was a prisoner of its for 23 years?

I would like to know what made you to upload this image on commons? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 04:52, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Someone probably requested it at WP:FFU. C F A 💬 11:10, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Touring Superleggera's logo update
[edit]Hello, today i made a mistake asking for the update of the company's logo: the version of the logo is an old version, wich now doesn't represent the company, can i ask you to approve the new request i made? you can find it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_upload — Preceding unsigned comment added by M.Duffau (talk • contribs) 16:23, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-41
[edit]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
- Communities can now request installation of Automoderator on their wiki. Automoderator is an automated anti-vandalism tool that reverts bad edits based on scores from the new "Revert Risk" machine learning model. You can read details about the necessary steps for installation and configuration. [5]
Updates for editors
- Translators in wikis where the mobile experience of Content Translation is available, can now customize their articles suggestion list from 41 filtering options when using the tool. This topic-based article suggestion feature makes it easy for translators to self-discover relevant articles based on their area of interest and translate them. You can try it with your mobile device. [6]
- View all 12 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Updates for technical contributors
- It is now possible for
<syntaxhighlight>code blocks to offer readers a "Copy" button if thecopy=1attribute is set on the tag. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [7] - Customized copyright footer messages on all wikis will be updated. The new versions will use wikitext markup instead of requiring editing raw HTML. [8]
Later this month, temporary accounts will be rolled out on several pilot wikis. The final list of the wikis will be published in the second half of the month. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 11 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available.
- Five new wikis have been created:
