Tech News: 2024-40
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.

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]
Meetings and events
- October 4–6: WikiIndaba Conference's Hackathon in Johannesburg, South Africa
- November 4–6: MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 in Vienna, Austria

Tech News: 2024-41
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
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
- Translators in wikis where the mobile experience of Content Translation is available, can now customize their articles suggestion list from 41 filtering options when using the tool. This topic-based article suggestion feature makes it easy for translators to self-discover relevant articles based on their area of interest and translate them. You can try it with your mobile device. [5]
- View all 12 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Updates for technical contributors
- It is now possible for
<syntaxhighlight>
code blocks to offer readers a "Copy" button if thecopy=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]
- 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.
- 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:

Updates for editors
- The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [13][14]
- WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [15]
- View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.
Updates for technical contributors
- Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [16]
- Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed. [17]
- Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a
<bdi>
element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time. [18]

Regarding use of Template:Duration in length
Hi @Paper9oll, I don't quite understand what it means in the linked documentation for the use of the duration template "if additional lengths are entered". Like what examples or scenarios would that be used for a song? And just curious, why would it only be used "for the second and subsequent lengths"?
My bad, I thought the template was to be used after seeing a few older singles that used the template. I'll clean those up when I can. Thank you in advance! — Chyx1095 (🗣️ • 📜) 13:29, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Chyx1095 Meaning if the song was released initially in multiple different lengths however in the articles that you changed, those song are only released in a single length. {{Duration}} are also not needed because by default, the
|length=
parameter is already coded in the source code to use that template hence adding the template would result in rendered code being|length={{Duration|{{Duration|1:23}}}}
instead which produces syntax error.— Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:36, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-43
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- The Mobile Apps team has released an update to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the "Donate" button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned navigation refresh to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.
Updates for editors
- Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's Content Discovery Experiments page and subscribe to their newsletter.
- Later this month, logged-out editors of these 12 wikis will start to have temporary accounts created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new type of user account. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 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. Read more about the deployment plan across all wikis.
- View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the South Ndebele, Pannonian Rusyn, Obolo, Iban and Tai Nüa Wikipedia languages were created last week. [19][20][21][22][23]
- It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new Wikidata lexeme type launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in the latest Wikifunctions newsletter.
Updates for technical contributors
- Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new
{{#timef:…}}
parser function. For example,{{#timef:now|date|en}}
will show as "5 November 2024". Previously,{{#time:…}}
could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation.#timef
(or#timefl
for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [24][25] - Commons and Meta users can now efficiently retrieve the user's language using
{{USERLANGUAGE}}
instead of using{{int:lang}}
. [26] - The Product and Tech Advisory Council (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the Movement Strategy's Technology Council initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform. [27]
In depth
- The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: an upcoming Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module, new Community Configuration options, and details on new projects.
- The Wikimedia Foundation is now an official partner of the CVE program, which is an international effort to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This partnership will allow the Security Team to instantly publish common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) records that are affecting MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, along with any other code the Foundation is a steward of.
- The Community Wishlist is now testing machine translations for Wishlist content. Volunteers can now read machine-translated versions of wishes and dive into discussions even before translators arrive to translate content.
Meetings and events
- 24 October - Wiki Education Speaker Series Webinar - Open Source Tech: Building the Wiki Education Dashboard, featuring Wikimedia interns and a Web developer in the panel.
- 20–22 December 2024 - Indic Wikimedia Hackathon Bhubaneswar 2024 in Odisha, India. A hackathon for community members, including developers, designers and content editors, to build technical solutions that improve contributors' experiences.

Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
Editing
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
User Paper9oll, I am kindly asking you the reason why you aren’t letting anyone change any articles related to the drama ‘The Judge from Hell’, and the leads ‘Park Shin-Hye’ & ‘Kim Jae-Young’. Please give everyone the freedom to change what they want, you’re stealing out rights at this point which is too offensive. 79.117.245.131 (talk) 18:03, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Ssch.cb or 79.117.245.131 or 2A0C:5A86:F404:B100:ACF9:380F:245:D6D8 or 2A0C:5A86:F404:B100:E462:7E0B:5497:B116 I would recommended that you go and read up on English Wikipedia policies and guidelines, in particularly on WP:COPYVIO, WP:DISRUPTIVE EDITING, WP:MOS, and WP:NPOV. In addition, using of multiple accounts is not allowed per WP:SOCK and is a blockable offense. As per the various warnings on your talk pages, you will blocked for continuing to edit disruptively on WP:BLP articles hence I would suggest that you stop any of such actions effectively. Ignoring this message and all of the warnings messages posted on all of your accounts (regardless of registered and/or IPs) will be considered as WP:IDHT which is a form of WP:DISRUPTIVE EDITING. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 18:08, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- I am not sure what you mean by saying ‘multiple accounts’ because i only have one and only used one to edit the articles about the leads of ‘The Judge from Hell’. I cannot bother myself to learn a lot about Wikipedia’s policy, because I already know I did nothing wrong. You can definitely block my account, feel free to do so, but I do know that I did nothing wrong. Changing the picture of an actor and actress, and also changing or adding some words; how is such a small editing, which isn’t a ‘disruptive editing’, considered a form of disruption? As far as I know, there are many pictures of Kim Jae-Young and Park Shin-Hye, so how come I can’t change the pictures? Are you planning on not changing those pics anymore? Will you keep stopping whoever changes them? Isn’t that literally considered stealing rights? I’d like you to tell me; be honest, and change my mind instead of putting policy links on here. Respectfully, thank you. Hope you understand what I’m trying to say. 2A0C:5A86:F404:B100:B5DD:29D:90EC:8AA5 (talk) 13:09, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- @2A0C:5A86:F404:B100:B5DD:29D:90EC:8AA5 Clearly not "
I only have one and only used one to edit
" when it is evidenced enough that you (Ssch.cb) has been editing while logged out in order to mislead and avoiding scrutiny as your account has received five warnings to date, try nice with that lie btw as this doesn't work against me whom has been editing for 10 years and accumulated over 100K of editing experience to figured out a WP:DUCK. If you can't "bother [yourself] to learn a lot about Wikipedia's policy
" then you're clearly not being here to build an encyclopedia. The rest of your reply including but not limited to "how come I can't change the pictures
", clearly and evidently shown that you didn't "bother [yourself] to [read or] learn ... about Wikipedia's policy
" including the ones that I had clearly listed out above which already answered your queries hence anything else is simply exhibiting WP:IDHT and/or an excuse. Regardless, you had been told twice on your unacceptable WP:DISRUPTIVE EDITING behaviour hence should you continue to editing disruptively, including but not limited to Kim Jae-young (actor), Park Shin-hye, and The Judge from Hell, it will be evidenced that you're exhibiting WP:IDHT and WP:DISRUPTSIGNS in turn means that you're clearly not being here to build an encyclopedia which falls under a valid blocking policy. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:43, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Positions
Do have a happen to have a link handy to where a past discussion of including "positions" in the "Members" section of groups occurred? I was pretty sure it was decided to avoid including positions in that section but I'm not sure when or where RachelTensions (talk) 00:51, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- @RachelTensions It should be at WT:KO archives. As per consensus, inclusion is permitted if it's verifiable. However, inclusion also shouldn't includes main/lead/sub, maknae, visual, face, etc. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 02:45, 28 October 2024 (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.
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. [28]
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
totrue
to fix an old bug. They can use the new flagallowAutomaticBack
to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [29] - 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. [30]

Nayeon
"Upright is based on your Wikipedia's settings that you have set"
Can you clarify? Template:Infobox person says the parameter "scales the image thumbnail from its default size by the given factor" - is there a reason for scaling up Nayeon's infobox picture up 15% over the template's default? RachelTensions (talk) 07:12, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- @RachelTensions Hi, the upright value would be big or small depending on the value that you set in your Wikipedia's settings. Before the introduction of
|image_upright=
, the predecessor is|image_size=
in which the observed practice across various article is to have the value at250px
, provided the image is in portrait. Back to the value in|image_upright=
,1.15
is the equivalent of250px
by taking 250/220 and round up to the nearest half number. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 07:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)- I thought infobox image size would've been standardized at the template level but if that's what we're doing then great.Anyway, this made me laugh:
"In particular, Paper9oll You left Nayeon's malicious picture of teeth for more than half a year"
apparently that editor isn't a fan of the veneers RachelTensions (talk) 07:24, 30 October 2024 (UTC)- @RachelTensions Oh, so that's what they're saying ... I don't even see it. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 07:27, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think they're referring to this image which was her long-standing infobox picture up until a few days ago RachelTensions (talk) 07:30, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- @RachelTensions You think if we should restore that long-standing infobox picture instead? I have no preferences on which as both quality are equal and not a step back. I can see that another editor that step in to handle the vandalism has removed the "controversial" (is it?) image due to what is seemingly due to veneers which isn't even obvious to tell apart from. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 07:34, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- @RachelTensions Nvrmind I see that you have BOLD ahead to restore the long-standing infobox picture already. I have proceeded to revert that vandal editor with their ridiculous claim which was already communicated to them at their talk page on why their upload is unacceptable but sadly they refused to WP:LISTEN nor read through the WP:Image use policy hence their absurd editing summary blaming this and that. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 07:39, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- tbh it's a better picture anyway, I'm so tired of seeing perfectly good photos being replaced with crunchy potato quality screenshots or AI-upscaled images that barely even look human anymore just because they're "newer" RachelTensions (talk) 07:39, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- @RachelTensions Yup, never been a fan of those AI-enhanced images — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 07:40, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- On that subject have you seen the absolute state of Jeongyeon's photo? It's so AI'd it looks like a painting.The only situation where an AI'd photo is marginally acceptable to use, IMO, is when there are no alternatives available, such as what Riize was stuck with for a long time because there were no other free photos available to show all 7 members in the infobox... and even that's debatable. It's almost better to have a blurry, bad photo versus an AI'd version of the same photo that doesn't even look like them anymore. RachelTensions (talk) 10:17, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- @RachelTensions Ya, this is definitely AI-enhanced and if you look at the File history, the uploader magically "improved resolution" hence I think we can just proceed to replace with this 2024 image which better defined her current image or the previous 2023 long-standing image which I believed has AI-enhancement performed to it as the uploader has history of doing so and been warned by me various times already. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 10:23, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure about the 2023 image, if it's been AI'd it was very subtle (a lot more subtle than that uploader's usual history).For what it's worth the 2024 image is AI'd too (it's captured from 25 seconds into the source video, which is nowhere near as clear) but I guess if you can't tell it doesn't really matter RachelTensions (talk) 10:32, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- @RachelTensions Agreed, if both are AI-enhanced. IMO, I would go for the 2024 image as it's less obvious. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 11:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

- @RachelTensions Oh, so that's what they're saying ... I don't even see it. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 07:27, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- I thought infobox image size would've been standardized at the template level but if that's what we're doing then great.Anyway, this made me laugh:
Hey, if you're interested, can you have a look at Draft:Seunghan and make adjustments as you see fit? I know it's probably got POV issues and I've been debating on how the sections should be structured. Thanks! RachelTensions (talk) 02:13, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- @RachelTensions I look through the draft, written well enough. Which portion that you felt has POV issues or require restructuring? As for suitability in mainspace, subject meet WP:GNG only with WP:SIGCOV mainly due to WP:RECENTISM. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 04:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- I was worried about POV issues regarding reactions within South Korea versus internationally. Coverage from South Korean sources is lacking nuance, they mostly stick to the official SM Entertainment line and don't mention much regarding fan reaction, protests, etc. so I worry it has a bit of a slant towards an international POV.Regarding structure I was going back and forth on whether to structure the hiatus + withdrawal in one section, or include the hiatus under the Riize section (as it is now).

- IMO the draft already has a balanced WP:WEIGHT covering both side of the spectrum hence I don't see POV issues in terms of content. As for sourcing, there might be censorship with South Korean news coverage but that's of course just assumption however given that the citations used to sourced the contents are from reputable news media, IMO it wouldn't an issue. IMO, the current structuring is good enough since the preceding section is talking about his hiatus and combining both together would make the section very long. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 05:36, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

- @Windborne Rider Done redirected Twelve (2025 TV series) to Twelve (TV series) based on the latter being created in redirect form and also created in article form first. Should you wish to "merge" aka copy any missing content, please do so using WP:COPYWITHIN attribution method instead as the history is too different for page merging hence I didn't tagged it for that route. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:41, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
