Tech News: 2024-24
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 software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering. [1]
The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
The HTML markup used for citations by Parsoid changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the
mw-reference-text
class, Parsoid now also adds thereference-text
class for better compatibility with the legacy parser. More details are available. [2]
Problems
- There was a bug with the Content Translation interface that caused the tools menus to appear in the wrong location. This has now been fixed. [3]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 June. It will be on all wikis from 13 June (calendar). [4][5]
The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: Parsoid will now generate a
<span class="mw-cite-backlink">
wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. More details are available. [6]- On multilingual wikis that use the
<translate>
system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community requests it. [7]

Question from Fractal Figment (13:29, 15 June 2024)
Hi Codename Noreste,
My first draft article was deleted by user Jimfbleak, who left a note on my talk page saying that it was deleted because I may have a conflict of interest. But I don't have any such conflict and had thought that my tone was pretty neutral. The article was for the book World on the Brink, so it necessarily contained a lot of content describing the book's arguments.
Do you have any tips for understanding how to adhere to the neutrality rule while summarizing the arguments made by a nonfiction book?
Thanks, Fractal Figment (talk) 13:29, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! You might want to fully read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view; in short, this page should be representing fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible, without any bias.; bias in this context means adding a fact in favor or against of something. You should also read Wikipedia:Verifiability (other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source) and Wikipedia:No original research (facts, allegations, and ideas for which no reliable, published sources exist; this also means combining published sources in a way that none of them actually say). I hope this helps here. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 20:33, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
edit and publish
Hello, I want to edit a specific wikipedia page and create a new also for my doctor, how do I go over it successfully ? Onjoroblue20 (talk) 16:59, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello there! Unfortunately, it looks like your account has less than ten edits and has recently joined this project – non-autoconfirmed users who either have more than four days of joining but less than ten edits, or more than 10 edits but less than the four-day mark, may not create articles in the mainspace; the same goes for unregistered users who do not have an account.
- Furthermore, regarding notability about the doctor you mentioned, it looks like they are not notable to have their own article yet; could you explain further? Thank you, and happy editing. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 20:41, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Okay so I have to make 10 edits first and wait for 4 days, is when I will be able to publish on mainspace. About the Dr. Doctor is a renowned surgeonist who saved my life through a major surgery. Few weeks after the operation in India, he was checking on me we had a talk and I told him am a professional writer and scholar, recently he contacted me if I could create for him biography and memior, then assist him to upload it here and I agreed since I owe my good health to him. He is a medical specialist with several awards and have done over 20 research papers posted on various research journals worldwide .Can you help me through guidance to publish his biography here.

Recent changes
- People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see Edit check for more details. [8]
- The new Community Configuration extension is available on Test Wikipedia. This extension allows communities to customize specific features to meet their local needs. Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other Community Configuration use cases in the future. [9][10]
- The dark mode beta feature is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the project talk page. [11]
Problems
Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [12]
- Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here. [13]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar). [14][15]
- Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable. [16]
- Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [17]
