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.

Gadgets die problemen gaan geven met uitschakelen jQuery migrate
bewerkenIk heb tot nu toe 1 gadget gevonden die problemen gaat geven. Ik wist zo snel geen fix, dus heb ik de probleem code gemarkeerd met FixMe. Het gaat om MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js. Mbch331 (overleg) 7 sep 2021 08:09 (CEST)
- Zou het een idee zijn om die gadget gewoon te linken naar/bij te werken met de versie van enwiki? Gadget is sindsdien wel ingrijpend veranderd als ik de screenshots mag geloven, en ik gebruik deze gadget verder zelf niet, dus input van gebruikers zou fijn zijn...

Arbcom-banner blijft hangen
bewerkenDe Arbcom-banner blijft hangen. Als ik op sluiten klik, dan blijft hij maar terugkomen bij vrijwel elke nieuwe pagina die ik open. Staat hij misschien niet goed ingesteld en kan iemand dat oplossen? (gisteren was dit ook al de hele dag het geval en ik hem alle vakjes uitvinkt staan bij voorkeuren/banners) Ymnes (overleg) 10 sep 2021 07:51 (CEST)
- Banners geven inderdaad de laatste tijd problemen, dit komt waarschijnlijk doordat de meeste browsers, om privacy redenen, zeer regelmatig de local storage wissen (en daarmee ook het feit dat jij op sluiten hebt gedrukt). Wat betreft de vinkjes in de instellingen: die hebben alleen effect op Central Notice banners (die vanuit de meta geregeld worden) en niet op Site Notice banners zoals deze. Je kan e.v.t. alle Site Notice banners uitzetten door
#localNotice {display: none;}toe te voegen aan je common.css. Mvg, Bas dehaan (overleg) 10 sep 2021 08:28 (CEST)- Dankjewel. Voor de komende dagen is dat misschien wel een goede tijdelijke oplossing. Ymnes (overleg) 10 sep 2021 09:00 (CEST)
- Hij werkt helaas niet[4] Ymnes (overleg) 10 sep 2021 09:09 (CEST)
- Zou het misschien aan mijn instellingen in Firefox kunnen liggen? Want ik vind het zo bijzonder dat ik schijnbaar de enige ben / lijk te zijn. Al is september vaak wel een rustige maand op Wikipedia. Ymnes (overleg) 10 sep 2021 13:06 (CEST)
- Je bent zeker niet de enige met het probleem, zie ook deze recente kroegdiscussie. Wat betreft de code, die had ik uit die discussie gekopiëerd, maar ik zie dat je de comment vergeten bent te sluiten met
*/in de regel er boven. Mocht dat niet helpen dan bied#siteNotice {display: none;}mogelijk ook een uitkomst. Mocht het niet lukken, laat het dan even weten. Mvg, Bas dehaan (overleg) 10 sep 2021 20:06 (CEST)- Ik heb de comment nu afgesloten. Ik hoop dat het werkt. Wat een dag, de banner vloog me om m'n oren :-D (en anders probeer ik morgen je andere optie) Dankjewel! Ymnes (overleg) 10 sep 2021 22:43 (CEST)
- @Bas dehaan: Het gaat al de hele morgen goed, nu ik de comment heb afgesloten. Bedankt voor je hulp! Ymnes (overleg) 11 sep 2021 11:23 (CEST)

Recent changes
- 45 new Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features. [5]
- A majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features. The Growth team has published an FAQ page about the features. This translatable FAQ covers the description of the features, how to use them, how to change the configuration, and more.
Problems
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 14 September. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. [6]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 September. It will be on all wikis from 16 September (calendar).- Starting this week, Wikipedia in Italian will receive weekly software updates on Wednesdays. It used to receive the updates on Thursdays. Due to this change, bugs will be noticed and fixed sooner. [7]
- You can add language links in the sidebar in the new Vector skin again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet. [8]
- The syntax highlight tool marks up code with different colours. It now can highlight 23 new code languages. Additionally,
golangcan now be used as an alias for the Go programming language, and a specialoutputmode has been added to show a program's output. [9][10]

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. [11]
- 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. [12]
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
pipropparameter has been renamed toprpiprop. API users should update their code to avoid unrecognized parameter warnings. Pywikibot users should upgrade to 6.6.0. [13]
Future changes
- The Reply tool will be deployed to the remaining wikis in the coming weeks. It is currently part of "Overleghulpmiddelen" in Beta features at most wikis. You will be able to turn it off in Editing Preferences. [14]
- 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.

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
- iOS 15 has a new function called Private Relay (Apple website). This can hide the user's IP when they use Safari browser. This is like using a VPN in that we see another IP address instead. It is opt-in and only for those who pay extra for iCloud. It will come to Safari users on OSX later. There is a technical discussion about what this means for the Wikimedia wikis.
Problems
- Some gadgets and user-scripts add items to the portlets (article tools) part of the skin. A recent change to the HTML may have made those links a different font-size. This can be fixed by adding the CSS class
.vector-menu-dropdown-noicon. [15]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 September. It will be on all wikis from 30 September (calendar).
- The GettingStarted extension was built in 2013, and provides an onboarding process for new account holders in a few versions of Wikipedia. However, the recently developed Growth features provide a better onboarding experience. Since the vast majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features, GettingStarted will be deactivated starting on 4 October. [16]
- A small number of users will not be able to connect to the Wikimedia wikis after 30 September. This is because an old root certificate will no longer work. They will also have problems with many other websites. Users who have updated their software in the last five years are unlikely to have problems. Users in Europe, Africa and Asia are less likely to have immediate problems even if their software is too old. You can read more.
- You can receive notifications when someone leaves a comment on user talk page or mentions you in a talk page comment. Clicking the notification link will now bring you to the comment and highlight it. Previously, doing so brought you to the top of the section that contained the comment. You can find more information in T282029.
Future changes
- The Reply tool will be deployed to the remaining wikis in the coming weeks. It is currently part of "Overleghulpmiddelen" in Beta features at most wikis. You will be able to turn it off in Editing Preferences. See the list of wikis. [17]
