Tech News: 2019-04

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

Tech News

• Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta. [1]

Recent changes

• The content translation tool can now use version 2 as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature. For example it adds the tracking category Pages with unreviewed translations to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category in Special:TrackingCategories on Wikipedias.
• https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF, EPUB or ODT. Previously this was 200 pages.

Problems

• When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [2]
• MassMessage is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [3][4]
• Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [5]

Changes later this week

• You will be able to use template styles in the Module namespace. [6]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 23 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Your GA nomination of Sairecabur

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Sairecabur you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Ceranthor -- Ceranthor (talk) 18:40, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Cyclonic Niño

On 25 January 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cyclonic Niño, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that tropical cyclones may have induced past climate changes and could still be causing El Niño type events today? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cyclonic Niño. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Cyclonic Niño), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. -- SuggestBot (talk) 23:48, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Tech News: 2019-05

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 Wikimedia servers use HHVM to run the PHP code. They are going to use PHP7 and stop using HHVM. You can test PHP7 with a new beta feature. That way you can help find and report problems.

Problems

• When someone moves a page to a name that already exists that page that had the name the article is moved to is deleted. For a couple of months this didn't always work. Some users saw an error message instead. This has now been fixed. [7]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 30 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Three Wise Men

Hey you put in a request in the resource exchange for a page out of Volcano: A Visual Guide. The text is pretty short, so here it is verbatim:

"The floor of the Pacific Ocean has more seamounts, or underwater volcanoes, then any other ocean. Undersea volcanos, as other volcanoes, form from molten lava produced where the edges of the Earth's plates bump into, slide under, or grate against each other. A row of three submarine volcanoes, called The Three Wise Men, grew along a spreading mid-ocean ridge called the East Pacific Rise. The Three Wise Men are a part of a seamount field called he Rano Rahi in the Pacific Ocean. The Rano Rahi seamount field is known for its numerous chains of submerged volcanoes. The Three Wise Men are between 1000 and 2000m tall. In his image, green indicates deep areas and red and white more shallow.

Alongside a bathymetric illustration.

Hope that's helpful! ResMar 01:49, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
