Tech News: 2020-41

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

• There is a new tool where you can see which home wiki users have in discussions on Meta. This can help show which communities are not part of the discussion on wikis where we make decisions that affect many other wikis.
• You can now thank users for file uploads or for changing the language of a page. [1]

Problems

• There were many errors with the new MediaWiki version last week. The new version was rolled back. Updates that should have happened last week are late. [2]
• Everyone was logged out. This was because a user reported being logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now. [3]
• Many pages have JavaScript errors. You can read more and now see a list of user scripts with errors.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 October. It will be on all wikis from 8 October (calendar).
• Letters immediately after a link are shown as part of the link. For example the entire word in [[Child]]ren is linked. On Arabic wikis this works at both the start and end of a word. Previously on Arabic wikis numbers and other non-letter Unicode characters were shown as part of the link at the start of a word but not at the end. Now only Latin and Arabic letters will extend links on Arabic wikis. [4]

Future changes

• You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on 27 October around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [5]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2020-43

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Layshaft Please be bold and help to translation this article! A layshaft is an intermediate shaft within a gearbox that carries gears, but does not transfer the primary drive of the gearbox either in or out of the gearbox. Layshafts are best known through their use in car gearboxes, where they were a ubiquitous part of the rear-wheel drive layout. With the shift to front-wheel drive, the use of layshafts is now rarer.

• In the AbuseFilter extension, the rmspecials() function will be updated soon 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. [13]
• Some gadgets and user-scripts use the HTML div with the ID #jump-to-nav. This div will be removed soon. Maintainers should replace these uses with either #siteSub or #mw-content-text. A list of affected scripts is at the top of phab:T265373.

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Daisy (advertisement) Please be bold and help to translation this article! "Daisy", sometimes known as "Daisy Girl" or "Peace, Little Girl", was a controversial political advertisement aired on television during the 1964 United States presidential election by incumbent president Lyndon B. Johnson's campaign. Though only officially aired once by the campaign, it is considered to be an important factor in Johnson's landslide victory over Barry Goldwater and an important turning point in political and advertising history. It remains one of the most controversial political advertisements ever made (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

Future changes

• Since the introduction of the interface administrators user group in 2018, administrators couldn’t view the deleted history of CSS/JS pages. Now they can. [16]

• The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias in November. Another announcement will be made once the date is finalized. [18]

Recent changes

• You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser uses very old TLS. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It could lead to downgrade attacks. Since October 29, 2020, users who use old TLS versions will not be able to connect to Wikimedia projects. A list of browser recommendations is available. All modern operating systems and browsers are always able to reach Wikimedia projects. [19]
• There is a new automatic tracking category available: Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments. It collects pages which use the {{formatnum}} parser function with invalid (non-numeric) input, e.g. {{formatnum:TECHNEWS}}. Note that {{formatnum:123,456}} is also invalid input: as described in the documentation, the argument should be unformatted so that it can be reliably and correctly localised. The tracking category will help identify problematic usage and double-formatting. The new tracking category's name can be translated at translatewiki. [20]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from November 3. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from November 4. It will be on all wikis from November 5 (calendar).
• Administrators and stewards will be able to use a special page (Special:CreateLocalAccount) to force local account creation for a global account. This is useful when account creation is blocked for that user (by a block or a filter). [21]
• The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias on November 4. This change excludes the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias, plus a few smaller Wikipedias with special circumstances. You can read the help page and the troubleshooting guide for more information. [22]

Future changes

• A discussion has been restarted about using a Unicode minus sign (− U+2212) in the output of {{formatnum}} when it is given a negative argument. [23]
• In the future IP addresses of unregistered users will not be shown for everyone. They will get an alias instead. There will be a new user right or an opt-in function for more vandal fighters to see the IPs of unregistered users. There would be some criteria for who gets the user right or opt-in. There will also be other new tools to help handle vandalism. This is early in the process and the developers are still collecting information from the communities before they suggest solutions.

The winner this Translation of the week is en:2001 Kunlun earthquake Please be bold and help to translation this article! The 2001 Kunlun earthquake also known as the 2001 Kokoxili earthquake, occurred on 14 November 2001 at 09:26 UTC (17:26 local time), with an epicenter near Kokoxili, close to the border between Qinghai and Xinjiang in a remote mountainous region. With a magnitude of 7.8 Mw it was the most powerful earthquake in China for 5 decades. No casualties were reported, presumably due to the very low population density and the lack of high-rise buildings. This earthquake was associated with the longest surface rupture ever recorded on land, ~450 km (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

• 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. [24]
• 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. [25][26]

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Acids in wine Please be bold and help to translation this article! The acids in wine are an important component in both winemaking and the finished product of wine. They are present in both grapes and wine, having direct influences on the color, balance and taste of the wine as well as the growth and vitality of yeast during fermentation and protecting the wine from bacteria. During the course of winemaking and in the finished wines, acetic, butyric, lactic and succinic acids can play significant roles. Most of the acids involved with wine are fixed acids with the notable exception of acetic acid, mostly found in vinegar, which is volatile and can contribute to the wine fault known as volatile acidity. Sometimes, additional acids, such as ascorbic, sorbic and sulfurous acids, are used in winemaking.

Perihal: "Pic" / "Persik"

Salam! Saya sahaja ingin bertanyalah: semasa saya periksa semua suntingan dibuat setakat ini, saya perhatikan laman "Persik" yang ada ditambahkan isi kebelakangan ini sudah dipindahkan semula kepada "Pic". Kalau nak kata sebab perkataan itu tidak legitimate, saya rasa tidak, sebab buku yang saya petik itu memang maklumat akademik sahih menerangkan dan membezakan "pic" dan "nektarin" sebagai cabang jenis dalam payung maksud rupa buah yang sama. Malah, buku ini turut dijadikan rujukan dipercayai badan penting seperti Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.

Saudara memindahkan tanpa memberikan apa-apa penjelasan dalam ringkasan, jadi saya tidak tahu jika pemilihan tajuk entri berujukan itu "salah" ke apa ke...harap-harap saudara dapat beri pencerahan.

Yang ikhlas,
Anumengelamun (bincang) 00:28, 19 Disember 2020 (UTC)

@Anumengelamun: Alasannya adalah kerana pic dan persik adalah istilah yang sama. Saya kembalikan kepada tajuk asalnya yang telah kamu pindahkan. Penggunaan "pic" lebih luas berbanding "persik". Dua-dua istilah legitimate. Nektarin itu genus yang sama dengan pic tapi subgenus yang sedikit berbeza dengan pic. Sekian. - CyberTroopers ^bincang/_sumbangan 03:24, 19 Disember 2020 (UTC)

Begitu...aneh juga bila sejak 2004 buku ini dah terbit dengan kandungan agak autoritatif, tapi akhir-akhir sekali sangat kurang melekat nama "persik" itu. ----Anumengelamun (bincang) 11:21, 20 Disember 2020 (UTC)

Kami lebih suka ikut cara kami daripada ikut cara Anumengelamun, tak faham dengan pendekatan apa yang dia ketengahkan di sini, sangat berbeza daripada pengguna lain. Apa yang Anumengelamun buat tu tak salah, cuma berbeza daripada penyunting lain di sini. Asyik-asyik dengan modal tak munasabahnya tu.-2001:E68:5425:BE69:89FD:63ED:D9C9:14FA 07:40, 21 Disember 2020 (UTC)

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 11 January 2021.

Recent changes

• The {{citation needed}} template shows when a statement in a Wikipedia article needs a source. If you click on it when you edit with the visual editor there is a popup that explains this. Now it can also show the reason and when it was added. [41]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.

Future changes

• 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. [42]
• Oversighters and stewards can hide entries in Special:AbuseLog. They can soon hide multiple entries at once using checkboxes. This works like hiding normal edits. It will happen in early January. [43]

Mad Mad World By CyberTroopers

CyberTroopers's fuckin' in a mad, mad world But nobody's goin' nowhere CyberTroopers's gotta have more than the others Gotta have more than their share Ever since the devil tempted woman with an apple We've all had a burden to bare Now the world keeps turnin' and things are gettin' faster Nobody's goin' nowhere They say the grass is greener on the other side When they cross over they find CyberTroopers's searchin' like you and me Tryin' to find peace of mind See that little boy fishin' on the river If I could just be like him I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by If only I could be like him See that little boy fishin' on the river If I could just be like him I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by If only I could be like him I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by If only I could be like him 14.192.210.107 13:03, 27 Disember 2020 (UTC)

Que Sera Sera

When I was just a little girl I asked my mother, what will I be Will I be pretty Will I be rich Here's what CyberTroopers said to me

Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be

When I grew up and fell in love I asked my sweetheart, what lies ahead Will we have rainbows Day after day Here's what my sweetheart said

Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be

Now I have children of my own They ask their mother, what will I be Will I be handsome Will I be rich I tell them tenderly

Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be Que sera, sera 2001:E68:5432:5465:5597:88B4:6111:281C 15:29, 30 Disember 2020 (UTC)
