Problems

You will now be able to choose that you need to enter both your email address and your username. This will be a preference. This is to get fewer password reset emails someone else asked for. [٢]
• When you asked for a new password you could see if the username didn't exist on Special:PasswordReset. Now the page will show the username you entered and tell you an email has been sent if the username exists. This is for better security. [٣]

Changes later this week

• Wikis that are not for one specific language can translate pages. Sometimes parts of translations are outdated or missing. Outdated translations are marked with a pink background. Missing translations will also be marked in the future. This markup can sometimes break things. It can soon be disabled by using <translate nowrap></translate> on the source page. [٧٧]

Recent changes

• A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. The mobile main page special casing stopped working 14 July. 60 wikis now have main pages that don't work well on mobile. You can see which ones, how to fix it and how to get help in Phabricator. This is the same problem that was reported in Tech News 2020/24 and 2020/26.

Problems

• There is a problem with the interlanguage links. The interlanguage links are the links that help you find a specific page in a different language. The sorting is broken. The developers are working on a solution. [٨٢]
• Some users keep getting the notifications for the same event. Some of these are old events. [٨٣]
• Some users have trouble logging in. This is probably a browser cookie problem. The developers are working on understanding the problem. If you have trouble logging in you can see the details on Phabricator. [٨٤]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 July. It will be on all wikis from 23 July (calendar).

Future changes

• There is a وەشانی ئامادەی چاپ link. This will disappear. That is because web browsers today can create a printable version or show how it will look in print anyway. [٨٥]

• On multiple wikis, a UTCLiveClock gadget is available. For wikis that import the gadget directly from mediawiki.org, end users can now choose a different timezone to show instead of UTC.

Problems

• The deployment train for MediaWiki has been blocked this week. [٨٧][٨٨]
• Translation Notification Bot was sending the same message multiple times to every translator. This has been fixed. [٨٩]

Problems

• All queries to the Wikidata Query Service failed between 17:50 and 17:59 UTC on Thursday 23 July. Some queries failed during a longer period. [٩١]
• Interlanguage links were ordered incorrectly for the past few weeks. This problem was also mentioned in Tech News two weeks ago. The problem is now fixed. [٩٢]
• There is a problem with the global preferences for the "ڤێکتۆری سپاردە بەکاربێنە" option. Developers are working on fixing it. [٩٣]
• A bug in the Wikibase extension had disabled the "move" and "create" types of protection in the main (Gallery) namespace on Wikimedia Commons. New protections could not be added, and existing protections were not enforced, allowing some page moves and page creations that should not have been possible. This has now been fixed. [٩٤]

Changes later this week

• The video player will change to be simpler and more modern. This week, the current beta feature will become the video player for everyone on most non-Wikipedia wikis. The old player will be removed. [٩٥]

Recent changes

• If you revert an edit using the undo link your edit is marked with an undo tag. This will now only happen if you don't change anything in the edit window before publishing the undo. This is to keep users from marking edits as undos when they actually do something else. [١٠٢]
• The new OOUI version will not work with Internet Explorer 8. This means the wikis will look strange and not work well in Internet Explorer 8. This was reported in Tech/News/2020/17. This is because keeping the wikis working with very old browsers creates other problems. [١٠٣]

Changes later this week

بەکارهێنانی Databox بۆ درووستکردنی Infobox ـەکان

 کرا. زۆر سوپاس بۆ بەکارھێنەر:Encrypt0r! ⇐ئارام _{وتووێژ💭} ‏١٣:٣٢، ٤ی ئەیلوولی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

ئەم لێدوانە بەستراوە. تکایە دەستکاریی مەکە. ھەر لێدوانێکی داھاتوو پێویستە لە بەشێکی نوێی پەڕەکە دابنرێت. نابێت ئەم وتووێژە دەستکاری بکرێت.

---

سڵاو، لەو چەند ڕۆژەی ڕابردوو داڕێژە و مۆدیووڵی داتابۆکسم هێنایە ویکیپیدیای کوردی. مۆدیووڵەکە لە نزیکەی ٢٠ ویکیپدیای دیکە بەکاردێت. وە هەندێک دەستکاریم کرد بۆ ئەوەی باشتر بە کەڵکی ئێمە بێت. بۆ زانیاری زۆرتر تکایە سەیری ئێرە بکە. ڕاتان چییە لەسەر بەکارهێنانی ئەو داڕێژەیە؟

هەڵبەت لەگەڵ چەند ئەدمینێکی ئێرە قسەم کردووە و بە گشتی پێیان باش بووە. لەگەڵ داتابۆکسیش، دواتر دەتوانین چەند داڕێژەیەک درووست بکەین کە تایبەت بن بە بابەتی دیاریکراو (شار، کەسایەتی...) وەک ئەوەی لە ویکیپیدیای عەرەبی و کەتەلۆنی بەکارهاتووە. ئەو جۆرە داڕێژانە پێویستیان بە Lua نییە ئەوەندەی ئاگاداربم و هەر بە داڕێژەی ئاسایی درووست دەکرێن. بەڵام سەرەتا پێم باشە داتابۆکسەکە بەکاربێنین تا ئەو کاتەی هەموو کەم و کوڕییەکانی دەدۆزینەوە چارەسەر دەکەین. دواتر دەچینە سەر درووستکردنی داڕێژەی تایبەت. محمد (لێدوان) ‏١٢:٣٦، ١٥ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

دەستخۆش کاک محەممەد، کارێکی باشتان کرد. داڕێژەکە ئاسانکاریی زۆرمان بۆ دەکات. دەکرێ وردە وردە پێشی بخەین. با ھاوڕێیانیش تاقی بکەنەوە و ڕا و تێبینییەکانیان بنووسن. سەرچیا — ‏١٢:٤٥، ١٥ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

سڵاو @Encrypt0r: پێش ھەموو شتێک بەناوی خۆم و ویکیپیدیاشەوە دەستخۆشییەکی بێپایانم بۆت ھەیە! ڕاستی بڵێم سەرەتا بەدڵم نەبوو، بەڵام بەڕاستی دوای ئەوەی کارەکانتم بینی زیاتر لەگەڵ کوردیدا گونجاندت، بۆچوونی خۆمم گۆڕی، و تا ئێستا شتێکی ناوازەی لێ دەرچووە. دڵنیاشم دەتوانیت باشتریشی بکەیت. من خۆم ویکیدراوە بە ئایندەی وەرگرتنی زانیاری دەبینم لەلایەن ویکیپیدیاوە. ئەمە کاتێکی زۆرمان بۆ دەگەڕێنێتەوە، بە نوێکردنەوەی زانیاریدانەکان ماندوو نابین، ئەگەری زانیاریی ھەڵە زۆر کەم دەکاتەوە، و زۆر شتی تریش. بەگشتی من لەگەڵیم، بەڵام دەبێت زیاتر بە کوردی بکرێت. وە ھەندێ کێشە ھەن چارەسەر بکرێت. لەوانەی ئێستا لەبیرمە وەکوو:

• پیتی یائی نێوان ڕێکەوتەکان دانرێت.
• فۆڕماتی ژمارەکان لە عەرەبییەوە بکرێنە ھیندۆ عەرەبی (کە لەوانەیە تەنیا بە ڕووکار چارە بکرێت)
• تەمەن و ساڵی ژیانی کەسایەتییەکان ھەژمار بکرێن.

پێم خۆشە تەواوی بەکارھێنەران قسەی خۆیان بکەن چوونکە ئەنجامی ئەم کارە زۆر کاریگەر دەبێت. لەگەڵ سپاسی دووبارەی ⇐ئارام _{وتووێژ💭} ‏١٣:٠٣، ١٥ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

دوای تاقیکردنەوەی داڕێژەکە لە چەند وتارێک، تێبینی چەند شتێکم کرد. لەپاڵ کێشەی فۆرماتی ڕێکەوتەکان کە کاک ئارام باسی کردووە. پێم باشە ئەوانەش چارەسەر بکرێن:

• دوو جار ناوی ڕەسمی دەنووسرێت! ڕەنگە باشتر بێت ئەوەی یەکەمیان ببەینە سەرەوەی وێنەکە، ژێر ناوە کوردییەکە.
• ڕێژەی زوومی نەخشەی شارەکان زۆرە، ئێستا لە ئاستی یەک کیلۆمەترە، گەر بکرێت لە ئاستێکی فراوانتر نیشان بدرێت. نێوان ١٠ تا ١٠٠ کیلۆمەتر.
• بۆ نیشانەی قەلەمەکەش، لەبەرەوەی زۆر بەرچاوە و دووبارە بووەتەوە، پێم وایە باشترە ھەموویان لاببەین، و لە خوارەوەی بۆکسەکە لینکێک دابنێین و تێیدا بنووسین دەستکاری بکە لە ویکیداتا. سەرچیا — ‏١٣:٣٥، ١٥ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

سڵاو @Aram:، بۆ مەسەلەی فۆڕمات لەوانەیە ئەوە لە لای ئێوە چاک بکرێ. چونکە من هەر function ی ویکیپدیام بەکارهێناوە بۆ فۆڕمات کردن. سەیرێکی بکەن، ئەگەر چاک نەبوو، ئەو کات چارەسەرێکی دیکەی بۆ دەدۆینەوە. بەڵام ئەگەر لە ڕیشەوە چارەسەری بکەن باشترە. محمد (لێدوان)

@Encrypt0r:هەر هەنگاوێک ببێتە هۆی زیاتر بە رەو پێش بردنی ویکیپیدیا جێگای دەست خۆشییە Kurd2021 (لێدوان) ‏٠٩:١٠، ١٦ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

دەستان خۆش. کۆمەکێکی زۆر باشە. وا دیارە چاکیش کار دەکات. لە داھاتوودا زیاتر تاقی دەکەینەوە و فیدبەکتان پێ دەدەین. سپاس پیرەھەڵۆ (وتووێژ) ‏٠٠:٣٤، ١٧ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

@Encrypt0r: ڕاستییەکەی بۆ ژمارەکان ھەوڵێکم دا، بەڵام سەرکەوتوو نەبوو. ڕاستە و گەر بتوانین ھەر لە ویکیدراوە چارەسەری بکەین، زۆ باشتر دەبێت. ⇐ئارام _{وتووێژ💭} ‏٠٧:٥٨، ١٧ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

سڵاو، چەند شتێکم چاککرد:

• زوومی نەخشەکە ئێستا ١٠٠ کم ـە
• ژمارەکان ئێستا بە کوردیین
• ئێستا لینکی دەستکاری کردن تەنها لە خوارەوەی ئینفۆبۆکسەکە دیاردەکەوێ

چەند تێبینییەک:

• @Aram: دەتوانی نموونەیەکم بدەیتێ لە "تەمەن و ساڵی ژیانی کەسایەتییەکان"؟ ئەگەر کەسەکە لە ژیاندا مابوو چۆن دیارکەوێ و ئەگەر کەسەکە مردبوو چؤن؟
• @Aram: ئێستا پێم وایە پیتی یائی نێوان ڕێکەوتەکان کێشەی نییە، ئەگەر کێشەی هەیە، نموونەیەکم بۆ بنێرە
• @Serchia: مەبەستت چییە لە "دوو جار ناوی ڕەسمی دەنووسرێت"؟ دەتوانی نموونەیەکم بۆ بنێری؟

محمد (لێدوان)

سڵاو @Encrypt0r: ئەی ئەو دەستانەت خۆش بن! ئێستا فۆڕماتی ژمارەکان تەواوە. بۆ شاردنەوەی ڕەگەزەکە، ھێشتا نیشان دەدرێت. بڕوانە تەرانە عەلیدۆستی. بۆ شاردنەوەی قەڵەمەکانیش زۆر نایابە چوونکە بەڕاستی ئەو هەموو قەڵەمە چاوی تێک دەداین، بەڵام گەر بکرێت لەپاڵ بەستەری دەستکاریکردنەکە ئایکۆنی قەڵەمەکە دا بنێیتەوە چوونکە بەکارھێنەرە بیانییەکان بەو قەڵەمە دەزانن کە لە ویکیدراوە وەرگیراوە و لەوێش دەستکاری دەکرێت. بۆ پرسیاری یەکەمت، گەر کەسەکە زیندوو بوو بۆ نموونە وا دەنووسرێت: {{ڕۆژی لەدایکبوون و تەمەن|١٩٧٥|٥|٢}} و ئەنجامەکەشی وا: (١٩٧٥-٠٥-٠٢) ٢ی ئایاری ١٩٧٥، بەڵام گەر کەسەکە مردبوو، وا دەنووسرێت: {{ڕێکەوتی مەرگ و تەمەن|٢٠١٩|٦|١٧|١٩٥١|٨|٨}} و ئەنجامەکەشی وا: ١٧ی حوزەیرانی ٢٠١٩(٢٠١٩-٠٦-١٧) (٦٧ ساڵ ژیاوە). ئیتر خۆی ساڵانە تەمەنەکان حساب دەکات. بۆ پرسیاری دووەمیشت، ھەر بڕوانە تەرانە عەلیدۆستی؛ دەبینی ڕێکەوتی لەدایکبوونەکەی نووسراوە ١٢ کانوونی دووەمی ١٩٨٤، بەڵام دەبێت ١٢ی کانوونی دووەمی ١٩٨٤ بنووسرێت. لەگەڵ سپاسی بێپیانی ⇐ئارام _{وتووێژ💭} ‏١٢:٣٧، ١٨ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

سڵاو، چەند شتێک گۆڕاوە:

• ئێستا وەسفی بەندەکە لە سەرەوەی وێنەکە دیار دەکەوێ
• ئێستا ژیان/بوونی بەندەکە لەسەرەوەی وێنەکە دیار دەکەوێ. ئەوە بۆ کەسایەتی و شتەکان نیشان دەدرێ، ئەگەر کەسایەتی بی بەرواری لەدایک بوون و مردن بەکاردێ، ئەگەر نا بەرواری درووست بوون و لەناو چوون. 'P569', 'P571', 'P580' بۆ بەرواری دەستپێکردن بەکاردێن و 'P570', 'P576', 'P582' بۆ بەرواری کۆتایی بەکاردێن.
• چەند پڕۆپەرتییەکی دیکەمان شاردەوە
• لە پاڵ بەستەری دەستکاری ئایکۆنی قەڵەمەکە ئێستا دانراوەتەوە
• چەند وردە چاککارییەکی دیکە

چەند تێبینییەک:

• @Aram: نەمتوانی بەو شێوەیەی داوات کردبوو ژیانی بەندەکە دابنێم، ببورە. ئەگەر لە داهاتوو ڕێگایەکمان دۆزییەوە، دەتوانین چاکی کەین. کێشەکە ئەوەیە wikidata بەروارەکەم بە string دەداتێ و Lua ش تەنیا پشتگیری timestamp دەکا بۆ بەروار.
• @Aram: بۆ فۆڕماتی بەروار، Task ێکم درووستکرد لەلای ویکیمیدیا. بزانین چی دەڵێن، ئەگەر چاکیان کرد ئەوا باشە، ئەگەر نا ڕێگایەکی دیکە دەدۆزینەوە.
• دەمەوێ ناوی پارامیەتەرەکان بکەمەوە کوردی بۆ ئەوەی داڕێژەکە بتوانرێ ١٠٠٪ بە کوردی بەکاربێ، تکایە پێشنیاری ناوی کوردی بکەن بۆ هەموو پارامیەتەرەکان.
• تکایە بەردەوام بن لە تاقیکردنەوەی، چونکە ئێستا مۆدیووڵەکە زۆر قەرەباڵەغ تر بووە و ئەگەری هەڵەی زیاترە.

محمد (لێدوان)

دەستخۆش، خەریکە بەرە بەرە ڕێکتر دەبێت. من ھەندێک زانیاریی ناپێویستم شاردەوە، ھیوادارم ئێوەش ناوی ئەو بەشانە لێرە دابنێن کە پێتان وایە زیادەن و زانیاریی بێبایەخن تا لایان ببەین. بۆ دوایین دەستکارییەکان، من تەنیا لەگەڵ ئەوە نیم کە ڕۆژی لەدایکبوون لە سەرەوە بنووسرێت، سەرەتا وام زانی ساڵی دەستپێکردنی چالاکیی کەسەکەیە (وەک لە وتاری تەرانە عەلیدۆستی دیارە). پێم باشترە ئەویان ھەر لە خوارەوە بێت و وەسفی وتاریش ھەر بمێنێت. سەرچیا — ‏٢١:٤٧، ١٨ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

@Encrypt0r: دەستەکانت خۆش بن! بۆ بیرۆکەی دانانی وەسفی ویکیدراوە، بەڕاستی پێم باش نییە. پێشم باشە ماوەی ژیانی کەسایەتییەکان بسڕدرێتەوە چوونکە لەناو سندووقەکە بەردەستە. بۆ یائی ڕێکەوتەکەیش ھەوڵەکانتم بینی و ئیشەڵڵا بتوانین چارەسەرێکی بۆ بدۆزینەوە. بۆ کوردیکردنی پارامەرەکانیش بەڕاستی ویستم خۆم پێت بڵێم. باش بوو خۆت باسەکەت کردەوە. من پێشنیاری ئەمانەی خوارەوە دەکەم. ئەسڵەن Databoxیش بکەینە سندووقی دراوە.

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

Changes later this week

• Normally pages can be moved to a title that has no existing page yet or to a page that has only one revision, which is a redirect to the page to be moved. A new user right allows editors to move pages over one-revision pages that redirect to anywhere. [١٠٨]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 September. It will be on all wikis from 10 September (calendar).
• All MediaWiki API modules will now use watchlist instead of watch. This was inconsistent before. [١٠٩]

Future changes

• The Wikipedia Android app team might work on patrolling tools in the future. You can let them know what tools would be useful for you or for less experienced patrollers. See the page on mediawiki.org.
• OTRS will be updated to a new version. This will probably take around two days. OTRS agents will not have access to the system during these days. Emails that come in during the update will be delivered when the update is done. The plan is to start around 08:00 UTC on 14 September. This could change. [١١٠]
• The Wikipedia Android app will send push notifications if users want them. This could help you see for example when someone wrote on your talk page or your edit was reverted. This will need Google Play Services to work. It will also be possible to get the app without Google Play Services but push notifications will not work. Google Play Services is also used to make the app work for Android 4.4 users. [١١١][١١٢]
• Wikimedia code review could move to GitLab. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers. You can take part in the consultation.
• Dropdown menus in the Vector skin use a .menu class. This will not work in the future. Scripts can use nav ul instead. .vectorTabs and .vectorMenu will also not work. Some scripts need to be updated. You can read more in Phabricator.

Problems

• The Wikipedia apps briefly showed pages without CSS last week. This meant they looked wrong. It was quickly fixed but cached pages without CSS were shown for a few hours. [١١٣][١١٤]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 September. It will be on all wikis from 17 September (calendar).

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 tag for reverted edits. For example you can see it in the recent changes feed or in the article history. It is added to edits when they have been undone, rollbacked or manually reverted to an older version of the page. [١١٥][١١٦]

Changes later this week

• The number of times you can do something in a period of time on wiki is limited. This could be the number of edits per minute or the number of users you email in a day. Some users are not affected by all limits because of their user rights. They could soon see the limit even if it does not affect them. [١١٧]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 September. It will be on all wikis from 24 September (calendar).

Tech News: 2020-40

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

Recent changes

• Admins can now see links to diffs of deleted revisions on Special:AbuseLog. This uses the interface of Special:Undelete. [١١٨]
• Editors are automatically added to some user groups. For example editors are added to autoconfirmed users when they have edited enough times and long enough. Abuse filters can hinder users from automatically getting user rights for a period of time. They can also remove rights user have. Wikis can now ask to change how long this period of time is for their wiki in Phabricator. It is currently five days. [١١٩]

Problems

• Last year some abuse filters stopped working because of a new change. If they tried to use variables that were unavailable for that action they would fail. This has now been fixed. [١٢٠]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 September. It will be on all wikis from 1 October (calendar).

Future changes

• You can't see the language links to other language versions from the talk page or history page. They are also not shown when you edit an article. This could change. It is not decided if for example the history page should link to another history page or to the article. You can take part in the discussion in Phabricator.
• The link colours could change. This is to make the difference between links and other text more clear. You can read more in Phabricator.
• In your preferences you can choose to get different notifications on the web or by email. You will see Apps as one of the alternatives later this week. This is because the Android and iOS Wikipedia apps will use push notifications for those who want them. You can see the preferences on the test wiki. The goal is to have push notifications on Android in October and on iOS in early 2021. [١٢١]
• You can soon put pages on your watchlist for a limited time. This could be useful if you want to watch something for a shorter time but don't want it on your watchlist forever. It now works on mediawiki.org and will come to more wikis later. You can read more and see when it will come to other wikis.
• You can see what Wikimedians think are the best new technical tools this year. You can also nominate them.

Reply tool

Hello, User:Aram and other editors,

I have good news for you.

The mw:Editing team held the mw:Talk pages consultation 2019 last year.  mw:Talk pages project/replying is the first major tool that they built because of that consultation.

Right now, the tool is available at the French, Arabic, Dutch, and Hungarian Wikipedias as a Beta Feature. The Editing team is making a short list of Wikipedias that will get the new 'Reply' tool as a Beta Feature next week. About 8 more Wikipedias will get access to the Reply tool. It will be opt-in. To use the tool, you will have to go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and turn on the tool. If you don't turn it on, nothing will change for you.

The Sorani Kurdish Wikipedia is currently on their list. I have been using the Reply tool at many wikis, and I love it. However, if, for some reason, you do not want this Wikipedia to get access to this tool next week, then please tell me as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will assume that it's okay. Whatamidoing (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏٢٢:٢١، ٣٠ی تەممووزی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

Hello @Whatamidoing (WMF):, That is a good news for ckbwiki and it's users! I have already tested the tool and I think it is a good and useful tool. I hope other users try it out and express their opinions as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing the tool on ckbwiki next week. Thank you again! -- ⇐ئارام _{وتووێژ💭} ‏٢٣:٣٤، ٣٠ی تەممووزی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

The Beta Feature is ready! You can go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and turn on "ئامرازەکانی وتووێژ" to use it. Then go to any normal, wikitext-based talk page and look for the [ وەڵامدانەوە ] button at the end of existing comments/signatures. Whatamidoing (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏٢٠:٠٠، ٦ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): Special thanks to you and the team! We appreciate it! And I would submit my feedback to the tool later if I had any comments. Thank you again! -- ⇐ئارام _{وتووێژ💭} ‏٢١:٣٩، ٦ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

Hello, User:Aram,

Something broke with the Reply tool. The ticket is phab:T259855, and they are working on it now. The main symptom is that English-language namespaces get replaced with the local content language, and that some characters get percent-encoded. I hope that it will be fixed fairly soon, but please check for bad diffs. The team apologizes for the difficulties. Whatamidoing (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏١٧:٢٤، ٧ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

There should be no more new problems caused by this bug. Whatamidoing (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏١٧:٤٨، ٧ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): I haven't actually used it yet, and it doesn't seem to work right now, but be sure I'll warn you if I find any problems. -- ⇐ئارام _{وتووێژ💭} ‏١٩:٤٦، ٧ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

It won't work in this section because of the ltr template. I'll try your user page. Whatamidoing (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏٢٣:٤١، ٧ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): Thank you so much! I got it. And I replied on my talk page. -- ⇐ئارام _{وتووێژ💭} ‏١٣:٤٧، ٨ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

If you want to check edits made with the Reply tool, then try this RecentChanges link. Whatamidoing (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏٢١:٠٤، ١٢ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

If you see any problems with the Reply tool, please post them to mw:Talk:Talk pages project/replying so the Editing team will see them. At the moment, they are particularly interested in these problems:

• The Reply Tool doesn't use the correct/expected wikitext.
• The Reply Tool cannot be used to reply to a specific comment.
• The [ وەڵامدانەوە ] button isn't shown on a page where people are talking.

but they are interested in all of your questions, comments and ideas. You can also leave a note on my talk page, or ping me to any discussion. Whatamidoing (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏١٨:١٠، ١٣ی ئابی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

Hello again @Whatamidoing (WMF): When a user makes a comment, but does not sign it, and then another user signs it, no Reply link will be seen in the comment. For example, User:Kushared made a comment here, and then I signed for him; now, we don't see any Reply link. Do you have any idea? Thanks! ⇐ئارام _{وتووێژ💭} ‏١٧:٤١، ٣٠ی ئەیلوولی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

It needs the time with "(UTC)" at the end, so that the Reply tool knows that it was a signature. Whatamidoing (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏٠١:٠٤، ٢ی تشرینی یەکەمی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): In the next edit, I signed for him using بەکارھێنەر:Aram/unsignedhelper script. And you can see the "UTC". ⇐ئارام _{وتووێژ💭} ‏١٠:٥٠، ٢ی تشرینی یەکەمی ٢٠٢٠ (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

• 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. [١٢٢]

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. [١٢٣]
• Everyone was logged out. This was because a user reported being logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now. [١٢٤]
• 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. [١٢٥]

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. [١٢٦]

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. [١٣٣]
• 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. [١٣٤]
• 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.

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. [١٣٥]
• Last week, links to "diffs" from mobile watchlists and recentchanges were linking to page-revisions instead of diffs. This has now been fixed. [١٣٦]

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. [١٣٧]
• There was a problem with the Change Tags. The software would apply the "گەڕێندراوە" 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. [١٣٨]
• 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. [١٣٩]

AbuseFilter notice: rmspecials() will no longer remove whitespace when used in filters

Hello,

Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help translate to your language.

We are making a change to the AbuseFilter extension, which may impact the behavior of some existing filters. The rmspecials() function currently removes spaces in addition to special characters. We will change it such that it will only remove special characters. The existing rmwhitespace() can be used to remove spaces whenever applicable.

As reported on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P12854 we believe at least one filter on your wiki has been identified to use the rmspecials() function. Please consider updating these filters by wrapping rmspecials() inside rmwhitespace() like this: rmwhitespace(rmspecials(....))

We need you to update the relevant filters within 2 weeks of this notice. If one of the community members with proper access is volunteering to take this on, we ask them to please respond below and notify User:Huji in their response or in the edit summary. If we don't hear back from you within 2 weeks, Huji will edit the relevant filters on your wiki per the global abuse filter maintainer policy, to ensure the filters won't break once the change is implemented. Thank you for your consideration!

Best regards,

--User:Huji (لێدوان) ‏٢٣:٤٨، ٢٦ی تشرینی یەکەمی ٢٠٢٠ (UTC), sent via MediaWiki message delivery

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. [١٤٠]
• 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. [١٤١]

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). [١٤٢]
• 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. [١٤٣]

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. [١٤٤]
• 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.
