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 wikis that have Growth features deployed have been part of A/B testing since deployment, in which some newcomers did not receive the new features. Now, all of the newcomers on 21 of the smallest of those wikis will be receiving the features. [1]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- In 2017, the provided jQuery library was upgraded from version 1 to 3, with a compatibility layer. The migration will soon finish, to make the site load faster for everyone. If you maintain a gadget or user script, check if you have any JQMIGRATE errors and fix them, or they will break. [2][3]
- Last year, the Portuguese Wikipedia community embarked on an experiment to make log-in compulsory for editing. The impact report of this trial is ready. Moving forward, the Anti-Harassment Tools team is looking for projects that are willing to experiment with restricting IP editing on their wiki for a short-term experiment. Learn more.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January[rediger kilde]
Hello everyone,
We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.
Summary:
We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.
Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year[rediger kilde]
In the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.
However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.
We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.
Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities[rediger kilde]
We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.
A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet[rediger kilde]
We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.
We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!
Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase[rediger kilde]
If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!
Feedback[rediger kilde]
- What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
- How would you like to use our new sandbox?
- What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
- What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?
Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

Call for Candidates for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee ending 14 September 2021[rediger kilde]
Movement Strategy announces the Call for Candidates for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee. The Call opens August 2, 2021 and closes September 14, 2021.
The Committee is expected to represent diversity in the Movement. Diversity includes gender, language, geography, and experience. This comprises participation in projects, affiliates, and the Wikimedia Foundation.
English fluency is not required to become a member. If needed, translation and interpretation support is provided. Members will receive an allowance to offset participation costs. It is US$100 every two months.
We are looking for people who have some of the following skills:
- Know how to write collaboratively. (demonstrated experience is a plus)
- Are ready to find compromises.
- Focus on inclusion and diversity.
- Have knowledge of community consultations.
- Have intercultural communication experience.
- Have governance or organization experience in non-profits or communities.
- Have experience negotiating with different parties.
The Committee is expected to start with 15 people. If there are 20 or more candidates, a mixed election and selection process will happen. If there are 19 or fewer candidates, then the process of selection without election takes place.
Will you help move Wikimedia forward in this important role? Submit your candidacy here. Please contact strategy2030wikimedia.org with questions.

Server switch[rediger kilde]
Read this message in another language • Hjelp til med å oversette til ditt språk
The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, 14 September 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday, 15 September).
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.

Siste tekniske nyheter fra wikimedias tekniske bidragsytere. Fortell gjerne andre brukere om disse endringene. Det er ikke alle endringer som vil berøre deg. Flere oversettelser er tilgjengelig.
Siste endringer
- 45 nye Wikipedia-prosjekter har nå tilgang til Growth-funksjoner. [4]
- De fleste Wikipedia-prosjekt har nå tilgang til Growth-funksjonene. Growth-teamet har publisert ofte stilte spørsmål om funksjonene som kan oversettes. De beskriver funksjonene, forklarer hvordan de kan brukes, konfigureres osv.
Problemer
- Alle wikier stenges for redigering noen få minutter 14. september. Det er planlagt 14:00 UTC. [5]
Endringer senere i denne uken
- Ny versjon av Mediawiki vil benyttes på test-wikier og på MediaWiki.org fra 14 september. På andre prosjekter, med unntak av de fleste Wikipedia-wikier fra 15 september. På alle wikier vil den benyttes 16 september (kalender).
- Fra og med denne uken vil italiensk Wikipedia motta ukentlige programvareoppdateringer på onsdager i stedet for torsdager. Ved hjelp av denne forandringen vil feil i programvaren oppdages og repareres hurtigere. [6]
- Det kan legges til språklenker i verktøylinjen i den nye Vector-drakten igjen. Det kan gjøres ved å knytte en side til en Wikidata-enhet. Den nye Vector-drakten har allerede flyttet språklenkene, men det kan ikke legges til språklenker via språkvelgeren ennå. [7]
- Verktøyet for syntaksmarkering markerer kode i forskjellige farger. Den kan nå markere 23 nye programmeringsspråk. I tillegg kan
golang
anvendes som et alias for programmeringsspråket Go, og et spesieltoutput
-modus har blitt lagt til for å vise et programs utdata. [8][9]

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
- Growth features are now deployed to almost all Wikipedias. For the majority of small Wikipedias, the features are only available for experienced users, to test the features and configure them. Features will be available for newcomers starting on 20 September 2021.
- MediaWiki had a feature that would highlight local links to short articles in a different style. Each user could pick the size at which "stubs" would be highlighted. This feature was very bad for performance, and following a consultation, has been removed. [10]
- A technical change was made to the MonoBook skin to allow for easier maintenance and upkeep. This has resulted in some minor changes to HTML that make MonoBook's HTML consistent with other skins. Efforts have been made to minimize the impact on editors, but please ping Jon (WMF) on wiki or in phabricator if any problems are reported.
Problems
- There was a problem with search last week. Many search requests did not work for 2 hours because of an accidental restart of the search servers. [11]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 September. It will be on all wikis from 23 September (calendar).
- The meta=proofreadpage API has changed. The
piprop
parameter has been renamed toprpiprop
. API users should update their code to avoid unrecognized parameter warnings. Pywikibot users should upgrade to 6.6.0. [12]
Future changes
- The Reply tool will be deployed to the remaining wikis in the coming weeks. It is currently part of "Diskusjonsverktøy" in Beta features at most wikis. You will be able to turn it off in Editing Preferences. [13]
- The previously announced change to how you obtain tokens from the API has been delayed to September 21 because of an incompatibility with Pywikibot. Bot operators using Pywikibot can follow T291202 for progress on a fix, and should plan to upgrade to 6.6.1 when it is released.

Siste tekniske nyheter fra Wikimedias tekniske fellesskap. Fortell gjerne om disse forandringene til andre brukere. Endringene vil ikke nødvendigvis berøre deg. Oversettelser er tilgjengelig.
Siste endringer
- I iOS 15 er det kommet en ny funksjon, kalt Private Relay. (Apples nettside) Den kan skjule en brukers IP når de bruker nettleseren Safari. Det oppnås ved å oppgi en annen IP, likt det som skjer i et VPN. Det må aktiveres og krever et betalt abonnement på iCloud. Safari på macOS vil få tilsvarende på et senere tidspunkt. En teknisk diskusjon om hva dette vil bety for Wikimedias wikier foregår.
Problemer
- Noen gadgets og brukerskript legger til elementer i portlet-området på drakter. (verktøylinjen) En nylig endring av HTML-koden kan ha gitt noen lenker en annen skriftstørrelse. Det kan fikses ved å legge til CSS-klassen
.vector-menu-dropdown-noicon
. [14]
Endringer senere i denne uken
- Ny versjon av Mediawiki vil benyttes på test-wikier og på MediaWiki.org fra 28 september. På andre prosjekter, med unntak av de fleste Wikipedia-wikier fra 29 september. På alle wikier vil den benyttes 30 september (kalender).
- Tillegget GettingStarted ble bygd 2013, og tilbyr en introduksjon til nye kontoeiere på noen Wikipediaversjoner. De nylig utviklede Growth-funksjonene tilbyr derimot en bedre opplevelse. Siden de fleste Wikipediaversjoner nå har fått tilgang til Growth-funksjonene vil GettingStarted avvikles fra og med 4 oktober. [15]
- Et lite utvalg brukere vil ikke kunne koble opp til Wikimedias wikier etter 30. september. Årsaken er at et gammelt rotsertifikat ikke lenger vil godtas. Disse brukerne vil også få problemer på mange andre nettsider. Hvis man har oppdatert programvaren sin i løpet av de siste 5 årene oppstår det sannsynligvis ikke problemer. I Europa, Asia og Afrika er det kanskje ikke noe problem med eldre programvare heller. Les mer.
- Du kan motta varslinger når noen legger igjen en beskjed på diskusjonssiden eller nevner deg på andre diskusjonssider. Ved å klikke på lenken kommer du nå til det aktuelle innlegget som utheves. Tidligere ville denne funksjonen føre deg til toppen av en seksjon i stedet. T282029 gir mer informasjon.
Fremtidige endringer
- I løpet av de nærmeste ukene vil svar-verktøyet rulles ut til resterende wikier. De fleste wikier har allerede tilgang under «Diskusjonsverktøy» i betafunksjoner. Det vil være mulig å skru det av under innstillinger. Se listen over wikier. [16]
