Tuoreet muutokset
- Some musical score syntax no longer works and may needed to be updated, you can check Category:Sivut, joilla on virheellistä koodia score-tageissa on your wiki for a list of pages with errors.
Ongelmat
- Musical scores were unable to render lyrics in some languages because of missing fonts. This has been fixed now. If your language would prefer a different font, please file a request in Phabricator. [1]
Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla
- The parameters for how you obtain tokens in the MediaWiki API were changed in 2014. The old way will no longer work from 1 September. Scripts, bots and tools that use the parameters from before the 2014 change need to be updated. You can read more about this.
- MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 31. elokuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 1. syyskuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 2. syyskuuta (kalenteri).
Tulevia muutoksia
- Voit lukea, mutta et muokata Commonsia muutaman minuutin ajan 6. syyskuuta. Tämä tapahtuu noin klo 8.00 Suomen aikaa. Tämä johtuu tietokantahuollosta.
- Kaikki wikit ovat vain-luku-tilassa muutaman minuutin ajan 13. syyskuuta alkavalla viikolla. Lisätietoa julkaistaan myöhemmin tech-uutisissa. Tieto siitä lähetetään myös erikseen wikeihin tulevina viikkoina. [2]

(They need this notification so the article can be purged and show the latest data from Wikidata again. It is also required for showing the edit in the watchlist and recent changes on those wikis. This should have no visible impact for editors but is needed maintenance work.

Tuoreet muutokset
- Ne wikit, joissa on otettu käyttöön Growth features (kasvutoiminnot), ovat olleet mukana A/B-testauksessa, jossa osa uusista muokkaajista ei ole saanut toimintoja käyttöönsä. Tästä lähtien toiminnot annetaan kaikille uusille muokkaajille 21:ssä pienimmässä kasvutoiminnot käyttöön ottaneessa wikissä. [4]
Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla
- Tällä viikolla ei päivitetä uutta MediaWiki-versiota.
Tulevia muutoksia
- Vuonna 2017 jQuery-kirjasto päivitettiin versiosta 1 versioon 3, ja siinä on yhteensopivuuskerros. Migraatio on pian valmis, ja sivustosta tulee kaikille nopeampi. Jos ylläpidät pienoisohjelmaa tai käyttäjäskriptiä, tarkista onko siinä JQMIGRATE-virheitä, ja korjaa ne tai ne hajoavat. [5][6]
- Viime vuonna portugalinkielinen Wikipedia aloitti kokeilun, jossa sisäänkirjautuminen tehtiin muokkaajille pakolliseksi. Kokeilun vaikuttavuusraportti on valmistunut. Nyt häirinnän vastaisia työkaluja tekevä tiimi etsii projekteja, jotka ovat halukkaita kokeilemaan IP-muokkaamisen rajoittamista lyhytaikaisessa kokeilussa. Lue lisää.

Wikimedia-yhteisön uusimmat tech-uutiset. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty myös toisille kielille.
Tuoreet muutokset
- 45 uudella Wikipedia-kieliversiolla on nyt pääsy Growth-toimintoihin. [7]
- Suurimmalla osaa Wikipedioista on nyt pääsy Growth-toimintoihin. Growth-tiimi on julkaissut FAQ-sivun koskien toimintoja. Käännettävissä oleva FAQ sisältää mm. kuvauksen toiminnoista, siitä miten käyttää niitä ja kuinka muokata asetuksia.
Ongelmat
- Kaikki wikit ovat vain-luku-tilassa muutaman minuutin ajan 14. syyskuuta. Tämän on suunniteltu tapahtuvan klo 17.00 Suomen aikaa. [8]
Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla
- MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 14. syyskuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 15. syyskuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 16. syyskuuta (kalenteri).
- Tästä viikosta alkaen ohjelmisto päivitetään keskiviikkoisin italiankieliseen Wikipediaan. Aiemmin päivitys tapahtui torstaisin. Tämän muutoksen myötä virheet huomataan ja korjataan nopeammin. [9]
- You can add language links in the sidebar in the new Vector skin again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet. [10]
- The syntax highlight tool marks up code with different colours. It now can highlight 23 new code languages. Additionally,
golang
can now be used as an alias for the Go programming language, and a specialoutput
mode has been added to show a program's output. [11][12]

Wikimedia-yhteisön uusimmat tech-uutiset. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty myös toisille kielille.
Tuoreet muutokset
- Growth features are now deployed to almost all Wikipedias. For the majority of small Wikipedias, the features are only available for experienced users, to test the features and configure them. Features will be available for newcomers starting on 20 September 2021.
- MediaWiki had a feature that would highlight local links to short articles in a different style. Each user could pick the size at which "stubs" would be highlighted. This feature was very bad for performance, and following a consultation, has been removed. [14]
- A technical change was made to the MonoBook skin to allow for easier maintenance and upkeep. This has resulted in some minor changes to HTML that make MonoBook's HTML consistent with other skins. Efforts have been made to minimize the impact on editors, but please ping Jon (WMF) on wiki or in phabricator if any problems are reported.
Ongelmat
- Haun kanssa oli ongelmia viime viikolla. Monet hakupyynnöt eivät toimineet kahteen tuntiin hakupalvelintin vahingossa tapahtuneen uudelleenkäynnistyksen vuoksi. [15]
Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla
- MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 21. syyskuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 22. syyskuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 23. syyskuuta (kalenteri).
- The meta=proofreadpage API has changed. The
piprop
parameter has been renamed toprpiprop
. API users should update their code to avoid unrecognized parameter warnings. Pywikibot users should upgrade to 6.6.0. [16]
Tulevia muutoksia
- Vastaus-työkalu lisätään jäljellä oleviin wikeihin tulevien viikkojen aikana. Se on tällä hetkellä osa toimintoa "Keskustelutyökalut" beeta-ominaisuuksissa suurimmassa osaa wikeistä. Sen voi ottaa pois käytöstä muokkausasetuksista. [17]
- The previously announced change to how you obtain tokens from the API has been delayed to September 21 because of an incompatibility with Pywikibot. Bot operators using Pywikibot can follow T291202 for progress on a fix, and should plan to upgrade to 6.6.1 when it is released.

Wikimedia-yhteisön uusimmat tech-uutiset. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty myös toisille kielille.
Tuoreet muutokset
- iOS 15 has a new function called Private Relay (Apple website). This can hide the user's IP when they use Safari browser. This is like using a VPN in that we see another IP address instead. It is opt-in and only for those who pay extra for iCloud. It will come to Safari users on OSX later. There is a technical discussion about what this means for the Wikimedia wikis.
Ongelmat
- Some gadgets and user-scripts add items to the portlets (article tools) part of the skin. A recent change to the HTML may have made those links a different font-size. This can be fixed by adding the CSS class
.vector-menu-dropdown-noicon
. [18]

- MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 28. syyskuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 29. syyskuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 30. syyskuuta (kalenteri).
- The GettingStarted extension was built in 2013, and provides an onboarding process for new account holders in a few versions of Wikipedia. However, the recently developed Growth features provide a better onboarding experience. Since the vast majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features, GettingStarted will be deactivated starting on 4 October. [19]
- A small number of users will not be able to connect to the Wikimedia wikis after 30 September. This is because an old root certificate will no longer work. They will also have problems with many other websites. Users who have updated their software in the last five years are unlikely to have problems. Users in Europe, Africa and Asia are less likely to have immediate problems even if their software is too old. You can read more.
- You can receive notifications when someone leaves a comment on user talk page or mentions you in a talk page comment. Clicking the notification link will now bring you to the comment and highlight it. Previously, doing so brought you to the top of the section that contained the comment. You can find more information in T282029.
Tulevia muutoksia
- Vastaamistyökalu otetaan käyttöön jäljellä olevissa wikeissä tulevina viikkoina. Se on tällä hetkellä osa toimintoa "Keskustelutyökalut" beeta-ominaisuuksissa suurimmassa osaa wikeistä. Sen voi ottaa pois käytöstä muokkausasetuksista. See the list of wikis. [20]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Tuoreet muutokset
- A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them has been enabled for the following 10 wikis: mediawiki.org, the Italian, Catalan, Hebrew and Vietnamese Wikipedias, French Wikisource, and English Wikivoygage, Wikibooks, Wiktionary and Wikinews. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist on those wikis you can let the developers know.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 October. It will be on all wikis from 7 October (calendar).
- Some gadgets and bots that use the API to read the AbuseFilter log might break. The
hidden
property will no longer say an entry isimplicit
for unsuppressed log entries about suppressed edits. If your bot needs to know this, do a separate revision query. Additionally, the property will have the valuefalse
for visible entries; previously, it wasn't included in the response. [21] - A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them will be enabled for all production wikis. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist you can let the developers know.
Future changes
- You can soon get cross-wiki notifications in the iOS Wikipedia app. You can also get notifications as push notifications. More notification updates will follow in later versions. [22]
- The JavaScript variables
wgExtraSignatureNamespaces
,wgLegalTitleChars
, andwgIllegalFileChars
will soon be removed frommw.config
. These are not part of the "stable" variables available for use in wiki JavaScript. [23] - The JavaScript variables
wgCookiePrefix
,wgCookieDomain
,wgCookiePath
, andwgCookieExpiration
will soon be removed from mw.config. Scripts should instead usemw.cookie
from the "mediawiki.cookie" module. [24]
