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

Problems

  • There are some new tools to make it easier for newcomers to start editing. They are available on some wikis. These wikis had a problem with the visual editor for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug in the new tools. It was soon fixed. [1]
  • Advanced item Some user scripts and gadgets stopped working because of a change to CSS selectors. .vectorTabs should be replaced with .vector-menu-tabs to fix this. [2]

Changes later this week

  • The developers are working on a new interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This will be released on 24 June. You can give feedback. [3]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 June. It will be on all wikis from 25 June (calendar).

Wikidata weekly summary #422

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Wikibase Live sessions is coming back with the first call about Data Modeling in the context of Libraries happening on Thursday, July 2nd at 1600 UTC.
  • Development
    • It is now possible to search for EntitySchema pages using a shortcut “E:”, similar to “P:” for Properties and “L:” for Lexemes. For example: E:E10 or E:kakapo. T245529
    • Continued working on the first version of Federation, which will allow other Wikibase installations to use Wikidata's Properties - getting closer to a first testable version
    • More work on consistency of user interface components
    • Finalizing the click-dummy for the first version of the Query Builder so we can start testing it with some editors soon and get feedback.
    • Continuing to investigate how to improve our APIs and other ways to improve access to the data in Wikidata for programmers
    • Discussed the future of the Wikidata Query Service and ideas for next steps we can take to make it scale better. Guillaume will join the next office hour to talk about it.
    • More work on clearer separation of Wikibase repository and Wikibase client code in order to improve maintainability

Tech News: 2020-27

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

Problems

  • Everyone was logged out. This was because a few users saw the wikis as if they were logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now. [5]
  • Some readers didn't see new edits to pages. If the page had been recently changed they saw an older version of the page instead. This only affected readers who were logged out. It lasted for ten days. It has been fixed. [6]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 July. It will be on all wikis from 1 July (calendar).

Future changes

  • The Modern and Monobook skins use the ID searchGoButton for the go button. This is searchButton for Vector. To have the same ID for all skins it will change to searchButton in Monobook and Modern too. This will affect gadgets and user scripts. It will happen on 23 July. They should be updated to use searchButton. You can read more and see a list of affected scripts.

Cunningham

It is sourced in the biography, that should be ovbious. They were "Plover" birds. As for the name of such birds see the sourced article Kentish plover. Universally they were regarded the as the same species until 2011 - this incident occurred in 1975 and the biography was published in 2002. Dapi89 (talk) 17:08, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm not clear why you're posting here, rather than on the article's talk page. I'm also unclear why you described my original removal of a claim that a plane in England hit a flock of a species of bird that "breeds in Ecuador, Peru, Chile, the southern and western United States and the Caribbean" as "incorrect".
"sourced in the biography, that should be ovbious [sic]" doesn't meet our standards. Restoring such unsourced material with an edit summary of "nope" is not acceptable. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:40, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Wow
  1. It doesn't make any difference where I post.
  2. its sourced, which you were already told, so "nope" is entirely acceptable.
  3. the plover is not native to South America only. The Kentish and Snowy types were considered one and the same until 2011.
And since the incident occurred in 1975, and the source published in 2002 they are described as one and the same in the source. Dapi89 (talk) 17:49, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Again: soured in your head doesn't meet our standards; an inline source in the article is required, for a challenged statement. The link I initially removed referred to a species which, on the linked page, is explicitly described as above. Don't post here again. Use the article talk page, or not. Up to you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:11, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Deleting a re-direct

My article Jo_King_(triathlete) is still showing an active re-direct even after I tried to delete the re-direct in my sandbox. Also, although the title of the article looks ok - it's not searchable when I search "jo king (triathlete) in the search box.

Would you mind helping me please? Mojiayan (talk) 08:39, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@Mojiayan: That seems to be OK now; sometimes you need to "purge" the cached version of a page to see the current version; see Wikipedia:Purge. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:35, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #423

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
    • Ptable displays the periodic table automatically extracted from information provided by Wikidata; it also provides a check that all the elements are there with some basic properties. Additional pages provide charts of the nuclides under different criteria such as half-life. Each element or nuclide is linked to its Wikidata item for more information or to edit if necessary.
  • Development
    • More work on the consistent design system (Phabricator board)
    • More work on decoupling the different Wikibase extensions from each other
    • Polishing the first step of Federation (using Wikidata's Properties in another Wikibase installation) (incl. preventing users from selecting a federated property with a non-supported data type (phab:T252012) and preventing users from accessing Special:NewProperty when federation is enabled (phab:T255576) and viewing a list of all properties when federation is enabled (phab:T246339))
    • Continuing research and interviews around the topic of making it easier to access Wikidata's data for programmers
    • Doing first testing of mockups and prototypes of the first version of the Query Builder - coding can start soon
    • Convert a few properties from string to external identifier: Linguasphere code (P1396), KOATUU identifier (P1077) and ISIN (P946)

Problems

  • The Score extension has been disabled for now. This is because of a security issue. It will work again as soon as the security issue has been fixed. [7]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 July. It will be on all wikis from 9 July (calendar).

Future changes

  • Abstract Wikipedia is a new Wikimedia project. It will collect language-independent information that can be easily read in different languages. It builds on Wikidata. The name is preliminary. You can read more. [8]
  • The iOS Wikipedia app developers are thinking about new experimental tools. If you use an iPhone you can help them by answering the survey.
  • Some rules for user signatures will soon be enforced. Lint errors and invalid HTML will no longer be allowed in user signatures. Nested substitution will not be allowed. A link to your user page, user talk page or user contributions will be required. You can check if your signature works with the new rules. This is because the signatures can cause problems for tools or other text on the page.

Motherfoclóir

Regarding your part-reversion of my edits to Darach Ó Séaghdha: the title of the book Motherfoclóir is a bilingual play on words — foclóir is Irish for 'dictionary', but the combined word sounds like motherfucker. It's not a single dictionary word, so how it should be tagged is something of an edge case. At least for the sake of screenreaders, I would suggest the tagging of the second half of the title as being Irish is the best way to handle that, surely? — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 17:56, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm aware of the etymology. As I said in my edit summary, I'm not convinced that a word can change language at its mid-point. Likewise, I'm not convinced that screenreaders would recognise such a change. I suggest opening a discussion on the template's talk page, perhaps with a pointer to it on the talk page of the accessibility project.

Hi Andy! One question on referencing

I do not seem to get the "one-reference-cited-twice" thing working. So that the same source/citation appears at two different locations in the article, each linking to the same entry in the references list. Can you maybe provide me with your source code of your sandbox, that you showed earlier? Thank you so much for your help! --SteffenCoe (talk) 10:16, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
