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]

Slip Capone

No idea how "2" was created. May have been an MW lock timing issue. I suspectyou will wanyt to look hard at the 'real' article. Capone appears notable, and the referencing is.... unusual. Fiddle Faddle 12:38, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Timtrent, I moved it because I thought it looked it could benefit from more incubation and better sources. (I could be entirely wrong). but when I did, the someone else made an edit, making the page again, albiet with only one history, so I moved it to the 2. I apologize for this. Starzoner (talk) 12:57, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

worry not. As far as I can tell, 2 was an accident of creation Fiddle Faddle 13:09, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Your thread has been archived

Hi Starzoner! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Template:Birth date and age, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to . The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:01, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo!

I have moved the article back to draft space. This was moved to the draft space as a result of an AfD. Moving it back to the mainspace without any major changes to the article is against consensus found during that discussion. Please send the article to AFC submission. It says explicitly in the template on the page "Please do not restore this article to mainspace unless there has been substantial improvement to address the concerns raised in the deletion discussion."

Changes later this week

• Live previews didn't show the templates used in the preview if you just edited a section. This has now been fixed. You can also test CSS and JavaScript pages even if you have the live preview enabled. Previously this didn't work well. [9][10]

List of Star Wars films for FL

I have nominated the page, List of Star Wars films, as a featured list candidate. As I am not a frequent editor on its page, I have been told to talk to the editors who have worked the most on it. According to the statistics, you have added and edited 19.3% of the page. To join the discussion, click here. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 12:02, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

MfD nomination of Draft:The Mandalorian (film)

Draft:The Mandalorian (film), a page which you created or substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; you may participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:The Mandalorian (film) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Draft:The Mandalorian (film) during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 October. It will be on all wikis from 22 October (calendar).

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. [12]
• 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.

Your draft article, Draft:Detective Pikachu 2 (film)

Hello, Starzoner. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Detective Pikachu 2".

If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Tech News: 2020-44

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

Problems

• You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on October 27 around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [14]
• Last week, links to "diffs" from mobile watchlists and recentchanges were linking to page-revisions instead of diffs. This has now been fixed. [15]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

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]
• There was a problem with the Change Tags. The software would apply the "Reverted" tag to any page actions such as page-protection changes if they came directly after a reverted edit. This has now been fixed for new edits. [17]
• 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]

Tech News: 2020-45

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

• 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.

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

• 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]

Recent changes

• Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 16 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for most languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories.

Disambiguation link notification for November 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bojan Bazelli, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Lowery. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:10, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Ways to improve Alyssa Wapanatâh

Hello, Starzoner,

Thank you for creating Alyssa Wapanatâh.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Thank you for your new article, but see WP:EXIST. A Wikipedia article needs much more than an introduction to the person's existence and a statement about being in one movie.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Doomsdayer520}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

• The Wiki Replicas can be used for SQL queries. You can use Quarry, PAWS or other ways to do this. To make the Wiki Replicas stable there will be two changes. Cross-database JOINS will no longer work. You can also only query a database if you connect to it directly. This will happen in February 2021. If you think this affects you and you need help you can post on Phabricator or on Wikitech. [34]

Hi! I saw your draft, draft:Star Wars: The High Republic (film). The draft was created with not much evidence, but yesterday HUGE Star Wars news came out and a High Republic series, headed by Leslye Headland, was in production. It's called The Acolyte. There ought to be a bunch of sources out there and let me know if you want me to find them. Anyway, I thought you might want to change the draft content to fit the new news. If you want to keep this draft instead, a different draft could be created. Either way, please let me know. Thanks and happy holidays, Dswitz10734 (talk) 20:59, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Please comment out categories

Per WP:USERNOCAT, your many, many user subpages should not be placed in article categories such as Category:Pleurothallis. Please comment out the categories for all those user subpages using one of the methods in the guideline page that I linked. Thanks in advance, UnitedStatesian (talk) 06:26, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Alyssa Wapanatâhk moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Alyssa Wapanatâhk, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your page moves

Please make meaningful moves, and not ones that are attempt to "get rid" of names, such as what you did around the Boba Fett series. Both Draft:Untitled Boba Fett series and Draft:The Book of Boba Fett should be retained for their history at those names right after a move. At some point down the line, they probably can be deleted properly through CSD of AFD, but right after a move they are useful to retain. If you wanted to make new redirects at articles names that have yet to be created, just do that. Don't move a draft there to get that namespace. Please be more cognizant of your actions in the future, as they are being viewed as unhelpful/disruptive. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:23, 21 December 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. [40]

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. [41]
• 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. [42]

It was a synonym of another species anyways. Starzoner, please check the status of each name against a database like Plants of the World Online before moving additional species articles out of draft space or creating new species articles. IPNI is not a database of accepted names, it just lists all published names, whether or not they are currently accepted; IPNI is not an acceptable reference for a single-reference article. It would also be more helpful to expand existing articles than to create thousands of one-sentence stubs. —Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 23:53, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

@Onel5969:/someone, can you help with some more? These are all unaccepted synonyms/not active in Plants of the World Online. This is a huge amount of clean-up needed and not sure if there may be some sort of option for rolling edits back on a larger scale?

The past guidance provided here is extensive, largely unheeded, continually problematic, and I'm not sure how best to proceed. Thanks, —Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 02:31, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Hyperik, would be happy to help, but IPNI looks like a reliable source. Can't find any issues with it being discussed on WP:RSN. Is there a discussion about this source? Regarding these now existing articles, not sure how to contribute in fixing them. Take Pleurothallis viridiflora - would I move that to Specklinia viridiflora, and then change the genus in the infobox to Specklinia? As well as changing the source to this? Onel5969 ^{TT me} 03:25, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

IPNI is a reliable source, it just can't be used as a reliable source that a particular name is the currently accepted name. Your steps laid out are correct as a start. Aside from the text and speciesbox, the taxon category and taxonbar also get updated to the new name and Wikidata item. The distribution/range listed in the text and categories also needs to be compared to POWO, because IPNI typically only lists where the holotype was collected rather than listing its entire distribution. The stub template needs two blank lines after the last category, and should be updated to "Epidendreae-stub" rather than the coarser "orchid-stub". Also "species of orchid plant" is a bit awkward, so I've also been changing that to "species of orchid". (Which is essentially the whole article being rewritten.) Thanks! —Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 03:45, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Hyperik, thanks for the info, but while willing, I think it best if I leave the changes to those who know far more about taxonomy than I. After looking at several, I'm afraid I'd just muck it up. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:54, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
