Tech News: 2023-03

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

• The URLs in "prev" links on page history now contain diff=prev&oldid=[revision ID] in place of diff=[revision ID]&oldid=[revision ID]. This is to fix a problem with links pointing to incorrect diffs when history was filtered by a tag. Some user scripts may break as a result of this change. [1]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 January. It will be on all wikis from 19 January (calendar).
• Some changes to the appearance of talk pages have only been available on Talk: and User talk: namespaces. These will be extended to other talk namespaces, such as Wikipedia talk:. They will continue to be unavailable in non-talk namespaces, including Wikipedia: pages (e.g., at the Village Pump). You can change your preferences (beta feature). [2]
• On Wikisources, when an image is zoomed or panned in the Page: namespace, the same zoom and pan settings will be remembered for all Page: namespace pages that are linked to a particular Index: namespace page. [3]
• The Vector 2022 skin will become the default for the English Wikipedia desktop users. The change will take place on January 18 at 15:00 UTC. Learn more.

Future changes

• The 2023 edition of the Community Wishlist Survey, which invites contributors to make technical proposals and vote for tools and improvements, starts next week on 23 January 2023 at 18:00 UTC. You can start drafting your proposals in the CWS sandbox.

Parameter you may find useful

In {{Sister project links}}, you can set |auto=1 and have wikidata fill in the links, e.g.:

This is more convenient than specifying a lot of "no" arguments. — hike395 (talk) 09:34, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Another template you may find useful is {{Commons}}. That template uses wikidata to determine whether there is a gallery or a category over at Commons, and link to it. You don't need to use {{Commons category}} unless you actively do not want to link to the gallery. — hike395 (talk) 09:45, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

User:Hike395 after reading your pov and template doc of commons, its better than commons category. i will try to use Sister project links where it is necessary. thank you. <_>jindam, vani (talk) 12:46, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

URLREQ

Thanks for finding all these there are probably thousands! They take quite a bit of time and work, one domain can take a full day if large enough. If there are too many I may get discouraged! Give me some time to catch up, thanks. Or if you want, create a sub-page somewhere to record them then move to URLREQ when I have spare cycles. -- GreenC 02:51, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
