Veteran Editor

Vestrian24Bio is taking a short wikibreak to get ready for exams and will be back on Wikipedia once the exams are over on 9 December 2024. Most likely, however, Vestrian24Bio will not be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long and will probably be making some small edits anyway.

Tech News: 2024-44

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

Updates for editors

Later in November, the Charts extension will be deployed to the test wikis in order to help identify and fix any issue. A security review is underway to then enable deployment to pilot wikis for broader testing. You can read the October project update and see the latest documentation and examples on Beta Wikipedia.
View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, Pediapress.com, an external service that creates books from Wikipedia, can now use Wikimedia Maps to include existing pre-rendered infobox map images in their printed books on Wikipedia. [1]

Updates for technical contributors

Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [2]
Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [3]

Tech News: 2024-45

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

Updates for editors

Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [4]
Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [5]
View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.

Updates for technical contributors

XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [6]

In depth

Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.

Meetings and events

MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 is happening in Vienna, Austria and online from 4 to 6 November 2024. The conference will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users.

Unusual redirect wiped out membership list; new page with no attribution

This edit turned a WikiProject membership list into a redirect to a new page. This appears to have wiped out the good-faith addition of these members to the previous list. You created the new page without apparent attribution of its contents to wherever you got them. Is there a discussion that led to these unusual edits? – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95 The discussion took place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket#Merge WikiProjects back into this project. I gave an edit summary at the parent page. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 02:21, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link. I did not see an explanation for the wiping out of the member list instead of migrating it, and I did not see an attribution for the contents of the new task force page. What am I missing?

Also, what is your plan for the history of talk pages like this WikiProject talk page? – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:31, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps they could be moved into Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket/Asia cricket task force/Archive something? Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 03:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is better than simply wiping out the pages and replacing them with redirects. I suggest that you return to the original discussion and ask for help. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:09, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
