Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

• Tällä viikolla ei päivitetä uutta MediaWiki-versiota.

Tulevia muutoksia

• You can see reference previews. This shows a preview of the footnote when you hover over it. This has been a beta feature. It will move out of beta and be enabled by default. There will be an option not to use it. The developers are looking for small or medium-sized wikis to be the first ones. You can let them know if your wiki is interested. [1]
• From November 16 the categories will not be sorted in order for a short time. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the internationalisation library. They will use a script to fix the existing categories. This can take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [2][3]

Tech News: 2020-47

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 16 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for most languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [4][5]

Changes later this week

• If you merged two pages in a namespace where pages can't redirect this used to break the merge history. This will now be fixed. [6]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 November. It will be on all wikis from 19 November (calendar).

Future changes

• The Community Wishlist Survey is now open for proposals. The survey decides what the Community Tech team will work on. You can post proposals from 16 to 30 November. You can vote on proposals from 8 December to 21 December.

If you think this affects you and you need help you can post on Phabricator or on Wikitech. [11]

Tech News: 2020-52

Wikimedia-yhteisön uusimmat tech-uutiset. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty toisille kielille.

Tech-uutiset

• Lomien vuoksi seuraavat tech-uutiset toimitetaan 11. tammikuuta 2021.

Tuoreet muutokset

• {{lähde}}-malline osoittaa Wikipedia-artikkelissa puuttuvan lähteen väittämältä. Kun muokkaat visuaalisella muokkaimella ja klikkaat sitä, niin aukeaa ponnahdusikkuna, joka selittää tämän. Se osaa myös näyttää syyn ja milloin se on lisätty. [17]

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

• Tällä viikolla ei päivitetä uutta MediaWiki-versiota.

Tulevia muutoksia

• You can propose and discuss what technical improvements should be done for geographic information. This could be coordinates, maps or other related things.
• Some wikis use LanguageConverter to switch between writing systems or variants of a language. This can only be done for the entire page. There will be a <langconvert> tag that can convert a piece of text on a page. [18]
• Häivyttäjät ja ylivalvojat voivat piilottaa merkintöjä väärinkäyttölokista. He voivat pian valita useamman merkinnän valintaruutuja käyttämällä. Tämä toimii samalla tavoin kuin normaalien muokkausten piilottaminen. Tämä tulee voimaan tammikuussa. [19]
