Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 1. helmikuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 2. helmikuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 3. helmikuuta (kalenteri).

Tulevia muutoksia

Muutos, josta ilmoitettiin viime vuonna, siirtyi. Nyt se on valmis siirtymään eteenpäin:

This is planned to happen in three weeks. You can comment in Phabricator if you have objections. As usual, these labels can be translated on translatewiki (direct links are available) or by administrators on your wiki.

Tapahtumat

Voit äänestää ehdotuksia yhteisön toivelistakyselyssä 28. tammikuuta – 11. helmikuuta. Kyselyssä päätetään minkä toiveiden parissa Community Tech -tiimi tulee työskentelemään.

Recent changes

Tuoreet muutokset

Välimuistin tyhjentäminen luokissa, joissa on yli 5000 sivua, laskee sivujen määrän kokonaan uusiksi. Tämä mahdollistaa käyttäjien korjata virheelliset luvut. [3]

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 15. helmikuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 16. helmikuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 17. helmikuuta (kalenteri).
In the AbuseFilter extension, the rmspecials() function has been updated so that it does not remove the "space" character. Wikis are advised to wrap all the uses of rmspecials() with rmwhitespace() wherever necessary to keep filters' behavior unchanged. You can use the search function on Special:AbuseFilter to locate its usage. [4]

Ajankohtaiset teknologiauutiset Wikimedian tekniseltä yhteisöltä. Kerrothan myös muille käyttäjille näistä muutoksista. Kaikilla muutoksilla ei ole vaikutusta sinuun. Saatavilla myös muilla kielillä.

Tuoreet muutokset

Sivulla Toiminnot:Massapoista näkyy nyt valmiit poistosyyt (muokattavissa sivulla MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown), joita voi käyttää sivujen massapoistossa. Tämä oli pyyntö yhteisön toivelistakyselyssä 2022. [5]
At Wikipedias, all new accounts now get the Growth features by default when creating an account. Communities are encouraged to update their help resources. Previously, only 80% of new accounts would get the Growth features. A few Wikipedias remain unaffected by this change. [6]
You can now prevent specific images that are used in a page from appearing in other locations, such as within PagePreviews or Search results. This is done with the markup class=notpageimage. For example, [[File:Example.png|class=notpageimage]]. [7]
There has been a change to the HTML of Special:Contributions, Special:MergeHistory, and History pages, to support the grouping of changes by date in the mobile skin. While unlikely, this may affect gadgets and user scripts. A list of all the HTML changes is on Phabricator.

Tapahtumat

Yhteisön toivelistakyselyn tulokset on julkaistu. Priorisoitujen ehdotusten järjestys on myös nähtävissä.

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 22. helmikuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 23. helmikuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 24. helmikuuta (kalenteri).

Tulevia muutoksia

The software to play videos and audio files on pages will change soon on all wikis. The old player will be removed. Some audio players will become wider after this change. The new player has been a beta feature for over four years. [8][9]
Toolforge's underlying operating system is being updated. If you maintain any tools there, there are two options for migrating your tools into the new system. There are details, deadlines, and instructions on Wikitech. [10]
Ylläpitäjät voivat poistaa/palauttaa keskustelusivun samalla, kun he poistavat sisältösivun. API endpoint tällä asetuksella on myös saatavilla. Tämä oli pyyntö vuoden 2021 yhteisön toivelistakyselyssä.

Mentors using the Growth Mentor dashboard will now see newcomers assigned to them who have made at least one edit, up to 200 edits. Previously, all newcomers assigned to the mentor were visible on the dashboard, even ones without any edit or ones who made hundred of edits. Mentors can still change these values using the filters on their dashboard. Also, the last choice of filters will now be saved. [12][13]
The user group oversight was renamed suppress. This is for technical reasons. You may need to update any local references to the old name, e.g. gadgets, links to Special:Listusers, or uses of NUMBERINGROUP.

Ongelmat

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 March. It will be on all wikis from 3 March (calendar).

Future changes

Working with templates will become easier. Several improvements are planned for March 9 on most wikis and on March 16 on English Wikipedia. The improvements include: Bracket matching, syntax highlighting colors, finding and inserting templates, and related visual editor features.
If you are a template developer or an interface administrator, and you are intentionally overriding or using the default CSS styles of user feedback boxes (the classes: successbox, messagebox, errorbox, warningbox), please note that these classes and associated CSS will soon be removed from MediaWiki core. This is to prevent problems when the same class-names are also used on a wiki. Please let us know by commenting at phab:T300314 if you think you might be affected.
