In This Issue
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
- The MonoBook skin has been optimised for mobile devices. It now looks different. [1]
- Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [2][3]
- Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [4]
Problems
- You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them.
- MassMessage did not work 24–28 May. This is also why last week's Tech News was late. [5]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 June. It will be on all wikis from 7 June (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 5 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
-
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 6 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This is planned to happen in June or early July. [6][7]

Reverted edit
(talk page stalker) Hi, I reverted this edit to your talkpage, and am considering revdel. You may however want to comment first as I don’t understand the why of this edit. —Dirk Beetstra T C 05:58, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Beetstra: Honestly I think that It's a Russian troll possibly "Liza Veniza" who has been trolling me on Commons, if I were to guess I would say that they were comparing me with South-Vietnamese refugees (even though I'm from the North), but it's an odd edit indeed. @Incnis Mrsi: any ideas who this could be? My Royal Young? LammyTrammy? --Donald Trung (talk) 06:11, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
I have no idea about the en.Wikipedia troll.As for Commons, LiinuxSosetXui is clothed as Liza_Veniza and attacks the same users to make impression he’s Liza, but—as a native Russian speaker—I see now that the puppet uses Russian profanity differently from how Liza_Veniza would use it. The same for most, if not all accs attacking you on Commons. Yes, it is most probably the same person as LammyTrammy (talk · contribs)—a skilled impersonator of other LTA—who also may be identical to Wikinger. Related: c:User_talk:Donald_Trung/Archive_23 #Creating page with "{{sockpuppet|LammyTrammy}}". Incnis Mrsi (talk) 07:52, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
I just realised that I don't need to ping talk page stalkers, maybe it's because my general reaction towards talk page stalkers tends to be to archive them rather than revert them, and I just took a look at what was posted and their username looking "typical of Nipponese Dog Calvero" makes me think that this is My Royal Young doing a lousy impersonation. Realised that they were probably trolling me because I'm usually the first to catch Nipponese Dog Calvero sockpuppets (and tag them) on Commons simply by watching file creations and frequented categories, but I'm certain that they're not NDC because I've never seen him troll that way. --Donald Trung (talk) 06:15, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
P.S. I have absolutely no intent on reverting vandals on this wiki (unless I see them in articles I'm watching) as if I reverted edits like this or nominated the vandalic category for speedy deletion those reversions would probably get me banned from Wikipedia for life and post-death and the vandals would probably go on unscathed (as my editing restrictions would even ban me for doing good faith vandal-reversions). As vandals tend to vandalise cross-namespaces I will not waste my time with reverting their edits on this wiki, if any vandal is reading this thinking that they can "have fun" with me all your edits will be ignored by me, and if it weren't for the enquiry by Beetstra i wouldn't have responded to the dumb edits of George Dinh. So my only reaction would be to not waste too much time on this, if this were Commons I would've tagged them but here I simply don't care, Incnis Mrsi can hunt vandals here all he wants I don't get bothered by My Royal Young or Liza Veniza. --Donald Trung (talk) 06:57, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- OK, I will just revdel it, I mainly just wanted you to be aware of what happened, so if this happens on other wikis you notice (I am not keeping track of all your talkpages :-).
- By the way, it is better to ping, I would pay less attention to 'regulars' editing this page - this one attracted my attention as a red-userpage editor with a large edit stating a name in the sectionname (considering BLP violation). --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:07, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Content is now Revision Deleted, editor and edit summary are still visible. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:08, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Beetstra: just curious by why is it revision deleted? Was it a BLP violation? It just seemed like a copy and paste of Peter Nguyen Van Hung which isn't really a BLP violation or anything, I've seen the actual doxing of users remain intact. Last time I checked policies (or is it an essay) like WP:DENY don't mean that regular content should be hidden, in fact now a regular article on Peter Nguyen van Hung is placed in the same light as INeverCry telling me to commit suicide and wanting to commit genocide against Asians. These two things are not the same and disruptive copying shouldn't just be wholly hidden, or is there something in this particular revision of the article that needed revdel'ing? --Donald Trung (talk) 09:58, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- I regard this as a copyright violation, though that may be too harsh (source is reasonably clear). WP:DENY is another reason. —Dirk Beetstra T C 10:55, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll archive this after some hours. To deny the Nipp a bit further. --12:56, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

- @Beetstra: this user_talk troll was almost certainly the Nipponese Dog – see here. It was a reaction on this Donald’s edit. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 16:17, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

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
- In the Wikipedia app for Android or iOS users can create reading lists. The reading lists can be seen on different devices if you are logged in to your account. There is now a browser extension so you can add pages to your reading list from a web browser. At the moment it works with Firefox and Chrome. [8]
- There is a new version of Pywikibot. Pywikibot is a tool to automate tasks on MediaWiki wikis. [9]
Problems
- The MonoBook skin was changed to make it work better for mobile users. This caused some problems. The change was rolled back to fix them. The new version is now back on the wikis. MonoBook users can opt out from the new responsive design. [10]
Changes later this week
- The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. For most wikis this will happen on 18 June. For the rest it will happen on 25 June. [11][12]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 June. It will be on all wikis from 14 June (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the Readers Web team IRC office hour. There you can discuss tools to contribute on the mobile web for the existing MediaWiki skins. The meeting will be on 18 June at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
- You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- You will be able to move local wiki files to Commons and keep their original data intact. This is planned to come to the first wikis in June.

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
- Syntax highlighting has been a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It is now a normal feature. It is based on CodeMirror. [13]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 19 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- Some old web browsers will not be able to read the Wikimedia wikis. This is because they use an insecure way to connect to them. This means that we get less security for everyone else too. This affects about 0.08% of all traffic to the Wikimedia wikis. This affects for example those who read Wikipedia on a PlayStation 3. [14][15]
- The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. Because there is no new MediaWiki version this week it will happen on 25 June for most wikis. For the rest it will happen in early July. [16][17]
- All wikis that have not already done so will switch to use the Remex parsing library on 5 July. This is to replace Tidy. You can help fix remaining errors. [18]
