Wikidata weekly summary #567

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Discussions
  • New requests for permissions/Bot:
    • RPI2026F1Bot 7 (Add start time (P580) as qualifiers to subreddit (P3984))
    • BotFunast (Task: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)
  • Closed request for permissions/Bot:
    • RPI2026F1Bot 6 (Task: Auto create month/year pages for Wikidata:Requests for deletions/Archive)

Viimeisimmät tekniset uutiset Wikimedian tekniseltä yhteisöltä. Kerro muille käyttäjille näistä muutoksista. Kaikki muutokset eivät vaikuta sinuun. Käännökset ovat saatavilla.

Tuoreet muutokset

• Kun suljet MediaViewerin kautta näytettävän kuvan, se palaa nyt wikisivulle sen sijaan, että menisi takaisin selaimesi historiassa. Tämä ominaisuuspyyntö äänestettiin sijalle 65 vuoden 2023 yhteisön toivelistakyselyssä. [18]
• SyntaxHighlight-laajennus tukee nyt kieltä wikitext. Vanhat vaihtoehdot, joita käytettiin wikitekstin korostamiseen, kuten html5, moin ja html+handlebars, voidaan nyt korvata. [19]
• Tekstin esilataus uusille sivuille/osioihin tukee nyt esilatausta lokalisoiduista MediaWiki-käyttöliittymän viesteistä. Tässä on esimerkki tšekinkielisestä Wikipediasta komennolla preload=MediaWiki:July. [20]

Ongelmat

• Graph Extension -päivitys: Foundationin kehittäjät ovat saaneet päätökseen visualisointiohjelmiston päivityksen Vega5:een. Nykyiset Vega2:een perustuvat yhteisöjen kaaviot eivät ole enää yhteensopivia. Yhteisöjen on päivitettävä paikalliset kaaviot ja mallineet sekä jaetut lua-moduulit, kuten de:Modul:Graph. Vega Porting Guide tarjoaa kattavimmat tiedot siirtymisestä Vega2:sta ja tässä on esimerkki migraatiosta. Vega5 on juuri otettu käyttöön mediawiki.orgissa tarjoamaan yhteisöille testiympäristön. [21]

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

• MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 9. toukokuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 10. toukokuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 11. toukokuuta (kalenteri).
• Tähän asti kaikki uudet OAuth-sovellukset on tarkistettu manuaalisesti. Tästä viikosta alkaen vain tunnistamista tai perusvaltuutuksia käyttävät sovellukset eivät vaadi tarkistusta. [22]

Tulevia muutoksia

• Ensi vuoden aikana MediaWiki lopettaa IP-osoitteiden käytön uloskirjautuneiden käyttäjien tunnistamiseen ja alkaa automaattisesti määrittää yksilöllisiä väliaikaisia käyttäjätunnuksia. Lue lisää sivulta IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Updates. Voit liittyä keskusteluun koskien väliaikaisten käyttäjänimien muotoa. [23]
• A/B-testi käynnistyy 10 Wikipediassa, joissa Vector 2022 -ulkoasu on oletusselain. Puolet sisäänkirjautuneista työpöytäkäyttäjistä näkee käyttöliittymän, jossa sivun eri osat erotetaan selkeämmin. Voit lukea lisää. [24][25]
• jquery.tipsy poistetaan MediaWikin coresta. Tämä vaikuttaa joihinkin käyttäjäskripteihin. Monet rivit, joissa on .tipsy( voidaan kommentoida ulos. Koodia OO.ui.PopupWidget voidaan käyttää pitämään asiat toiminnassa kuten nyt. Voit lukea lisää ja lukea kuinka löytää rikkinäiset skriptit. [26]
