Tech News: 2017-14

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 Save page button now says Publish page or Publish changes on most Wikipedias. The point is to make it more clear that the edit will change the page immediately. Publish page is when you save a new page and Publish changes when you edit an existing page. [1]
• The tracking category Category:Pages with template loops is now added when a template loop is found. A template loop is for example when a template tries to use a second template that uses the first template. [2]
• English Wikipedia now has cookie blocks. It will come to more wikis in the future. This is an extension to the autoblock system so when a user is blocked, the next time they visit the wiki a cookie will be set. This means that even if the user switches accounts and to a new IP address the cookie will block them again. [3]

Problems

• Wikidata descriptions, aliases and labels that used some characters could not be saved. This has now been fixed. [4]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 April. It will be on all wikis from 6 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 4 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the next office hour with the Wikidata team. The meeting will be on 5 April at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• New filters for Recent changes will come to Wikidata and Persian, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Czech and Hebrew Wikipedia on 11 April. The new filters include filtering, highlighting and user intent prediction. User intent prediction means the filter tries to help editors determine if the edit was made in good faith or not. Other wikis will get it later. [5]

  • Draft:Universal English High School Goregaon West (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Respected Sir, this article aims to provide details of a school existing for over 55 years. The only context permitted to be public and unbiased are submitted in public interest (basic info about an institute). There are similar articles on Wikipedia such as St._John's_Universal_School Kindly reconsider my article sir. I believe the deceased founders of a non profit institution deserve to be known through your platform.

  • Draft:Rivigo (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Respected Sir,

This is regarding the draft submission Rivigo. I have cited multiple sources for the information added to the page. The sources are renowned and reliable. There exists sufficient coverage on the subject which can be seen from the references provided. I want to know which part of the article you feel has not been written from a neutral perspective. I have removed certain parts of the article. Requesting you to check it again. There exist similar articles on Wikipedia already like OYO Rooms.

Thank you!

Regards, Nirmit

On declining Draft:V-Key

Hi @Zppix:, I understand that you have declined my submission of V-Key draft page and your comment was that it didn't meet the notability guidelines based on the references. My apologies, but I would greatly appreciate your help to point out the specific areas/sections/statements where I could improve on the references as I have tried to provide several independent sources - i.e. other than announcements made by the company. The independent sources are mainstream media such as key newspapers, online and TV coverage in Singapore as well as Southeast Asia. How else can I improve on the references? I do think it is notable, but perhaps I didn't present it adequately with the right references? Thanks much in advance!
