Tech News: 2024-40

[edit]

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

Updates for editors

  • Readers of 42 more wikis can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the night-mode-checker tool if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The recommendations page provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month.
  • Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding ?veaction=editsource to the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in your preferences. [1]
  • For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the "donate" link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to "Create an account". This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin. Learn more about the changes related to donor experiences. [2]
  • The CampaignEvents extension provides tools for organizers to more easily manage events, communicate with participants, and promote their events on the wikis. The extension has been enabled on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki. Chinese Wikipedia has decided to enable the extension, and discussions on the extension are in progress on Spanish Wikipedia and on Wikidata. To learn how to enable the extension on your wiki, you can visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-Wiki.
  • View all 22 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should check if any action is required for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis.

In depth

  • The server switch was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of only 2 minutes 46 seconds. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes. [3]

Geonotices not updating

[edit]

Hi, MusikBot II is running, but has not updated MediaWiki:Gadget-geonotice-list.js since 22 September, despite two edits to Wikipedia:Geonotice/list.json - are they incorrectly formatted? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:22, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Redrose64 This appears to be some sort of Toolforge hiccup. The job literally wasn't running, and the only thing Toolforge told me was "Error". Very helpful! Lol. I tried debugging by running a one-off job, and that worked fine. That tells me indeed, Toolforge was having issues firing the job for some reason. I've reloaded the jobs configuration, so hopefully things are okay now. However I can't say for certain until further changes are made to the Geonotice config.
While we're on the topic, maybe this is a good time to reevaluate this bot-powered system. It was only introduced because the advent of interface-admin meant most admins couldn't edit the JS page anymore, but they can still edit JSON. Since the bot was introduced, it's now possible for the Geonotice gadget itself to load the JSON page directly, eliminating the need for the bot altogether. The only downside here is validations the bot does (such as country codes, coordinates, among other things). We didn't have this validation prior to the bot, so maybe we don't care. Since the bot was introduced, I see only two instances where someone put in something invalid. Even then, I don't know if they actually utilized the bot report to fix their errors. — MusikAnimal talk 16:31, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weekly highlight

  • Communities can now request installation of Automoderator on their wiki. Automoderator is an automated anti-vandalism tool that reverts bad edits based on scores from the new "Revert Risk" machine learning model. You can read details about the necessary steps for installation and configuration. [4]

Updates for editors

Updates for technical contributors

  • It is now possible for <syntaxhighlight> code blocks to offer readers a "Copy" button if the copy=1 attribute is set on the tag. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [6]
  • Customized copyright footer messages on all wikis will be updated. The new versions will use wikitext markup instead of requiring editing raw HTML. [7]
  • Advanced item Later this month, temporary accounts will be rolled out on several pilot wikis. The final list of the wikis will be published in the second half of the month. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 11 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available.
  • Advanced item Rate limiting has been enabled for the code review tools Gerrit and GitLab to address ongoing issues caused by malicious traffic and scraping. Clients that open too many concurrent connections will be restricted for a few minutes. This rate limiting is managed through nftables firewall rules. For more details, see Wikitech's pages on Firewall, GitLab limits and Gerrit operations.
  • Five new wikis have been created:

TechnologyAdvice

[edit]

Hello, I was searching for TechnologyAdvice, a Nashville-based technology marketing company that has acquired a number of prominent technology related publications in the past few years. However, I discovered that such a page had been deleted by you nine years ago ~ years before it acquired over 20 tech publications, such as: TechRepublic; eWeek; Datamation; and, Channel Insider (this page was also deleted 14 years ago). Evidently, this is not the company it was nine years ago. See:

*NB: In preparing this post, it also emerged that the TechnologyAdvice dot com domain has been blacklisted...
Anyway, maybe it is time to revisit this page and potentially resurrect it. If so, is it still possible to recover the page - at least before it was blanked-out - and update it?
