Tech News: 2017-43

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

You can use ccnorm_contains_any when you create an abuse filter. This can be used to look for multiple words or phrases within a string. It will find words where some characters have been replaced. You can read more in the documentation. [1]

Changes later this week

When you search in some languages the search function could use specific other languages if the first language didn't work. This is called a fallback language. This didn't work properly and created bad searches. The search index is being fixed to work better. [2]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 October. It will be on all wikis from 26 October (calendar).

Meetings

You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 24 October at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 25 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

There is a Structured Commons community focus group for Commons and Wikidata contributors who want to give input on structured data on Wikimedia Commons. You can sign up to join it. [3]

Dynamic IPs and ClueBot

Yes it does.

When you send one of these messages to a dynamic IP that has been reassigned by an ISP to a different user than the one who committed the vandalism it is a near certainty that it will go to someone who never has and never will edit Wikipedia and has no idea how Wikipedia works: they just know it as a place to look stuff up. It may go to someone who just did their very first edit (but not the one that triggered the warning): you can bet that they will never do another. They will find your messages accusing them of vandalism very offputting and perhaps even a little frightening (they may conclude that Wikipedia is "tracking" them). There are automated ways to identify dynamic IPs with some reliability. If you insist on continuing to send these automated warnings to IPs please arrange for the messages to go only to IPs that you have good reason to believe are static. 72.160.224.122 (talk) 19:28, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
