Redirects connected to a Wikidata item has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you! |

Tech News: 2024-40
[edit]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=editsourceto 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

Your expertise
[edit]Hi Jarekt. Do you mind chipping in here? {{Delete/layout}} is not properly localized, maybe only as a half-working hack, and I'd like it to make full usage of {{date}}. You're my date expert, and someone who can edit the protected template. Thanks, Ponor (talk) 14:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- One last thing: Special:Diff/934628254/934938927 is a set of changes in the sandbox for Module:I18n/complex date that we need for all (or almost all) examples in User_talk:Jarekt/2017#Technical_question to work properly. @MaGa and I thank you very much! Ponor (talk) 17:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Photo of Sen. Grzegorz Fedorowicz
[edit]Hi Jarek, could you please delete this pic of Senator Grzegorz Federowicz. It has been pirated. We we have just received it from the Chancellery of the Senate. Thanks! -Boston9 (talk) 09:07, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Boston9: ,
Done --Jarekt (talk) 02:12, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Boston9 (talk) 11:31, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
And also:
Owing to technical limitations or a fault condition, PDF display is currently unreliable. Please upload an alternative format for multi-page doucments like Djvu. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- ShakespeareFan00, PDF seems to work fine for me. I do not have different versions of "Witkacy" files as they were provided to me as PDF by museum staff. File:"Creating Wikipedia List articles with help of Wikidata" presentation.pdf I might be able to convert to other formats, but so far PDF was quite reliable if you click on the file to use browser's engine to display it. --Jarekt (talk) 03:05, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Hyperacusis
[edit]HI Jarek, thanks for talking with me. I wondered why I could not get https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hyperacusis_patient_wearing_ear_protection.jpg into the hyperacusis article on wikipedia? LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 15:04, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- @LoveElectronicLiterature: , I added it to en:Hyperacusis#Avoidance_and_hearing_protection. Lets see what happens. --Jarekt (talk) 19:10, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

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=1attribute 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:

I'm 10 months late but do you still need it gone? I don't mind shutting down my bot task.
Also in the future if you need me for something and don't see my respond to on-wiki messages please shoot me an email. I'm most likely going to miss all the talk page messages and pings --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 20:11, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Zhuyifei1999: , False alarm. I did retire {{License template tag}} but had to quickly restore it when it broke image upload wizard. --Jarekt (talk) 00:14, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi there, could you please take a look at the edit request I created for the coat of arms of Brazil? I'm contacting you because you authorised the last edit request. Feitidede (talk) 01:04, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
