Tech News: 2024-33
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- AbuseFilter editors and maintainers can now make a CAPTCHA show if a filter matches an edit. This allows communities to quickly respond to spamming by automated bots. [1]
- Stewards can now specify if global blocks should prevent account creation. Before this change by the Trust and Safety Product Team, all global blocks would prevent account creation. This will allow stewards to reduce the unintended side-effects of global blocks on IP addresses.
Project updates
- Nominations are open on Wikitech for new members to refresh the Toolforge standards committee. The committee oversees the Toolforge Right to fork policy and Abandoned tool policy among other duties. Nominations will remain open until at least 2024-08-26.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in West Coast Bajau (

Question from ROSLYNSchutte on Edmondson railway ticket (02:15, 13 August 2024)
[edit]Hi, How do you save what you have edited? --ROSLYNSchutte (talk) 02:15, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hello ROSLYNSchutte, and welcome to Wikipedia! There is a button called Save/Publish changes in which allows you to save your edit(s). You can also add in an edit summary to explain what changes you have done (optional, but recommended). I hope my reply helps, and thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 02:21, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks so much for changing the source of Edelweiss back to mine! Really appreciate you sticking up for me against the guy who reverted it and left a threatening message. Hope you have a great rest of your day! Ryanlovestravel (talk) 21:24, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello Noreste! About the edit by 177.189.25.156 to EA Sports FC 24...
[edit]That edit by 177.189.25.156 was not disruptive even though it was not english. He meant:
a football game in which you can create your career as player and as manager and can create your own team
Yes, i understand portuguese. DANGA14talk 19:24, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- It looks like this IP address placed the text in question right next to the dmy date template, and besides that, all contributions on the English Wikipedia must be in English. I hope my response helps. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 19:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
On your comment in the phab
[edit]@Codename Noreste: I just now saw your post in the phab on the 7th, pretty sure the reason you didn't get the CAPTCHA is mentioned by EggRoll in the post at EFN, that is, your alt account is autoconfirmed so it was skipped. – 2804:F1...E9:FD1D (talk) 22:09, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing this out, but I'm not seeing any further responses on T20110. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 22:30, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Further responses? I don't understand what you mean. – 2804:F1...E9:FD1D (talk) 22:48, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- More replies, in this context. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 22:57, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, I just don't understand what you mean with 'but'? I read it as something like 'thanks, but that doesn't solve the problem', while what I was pointing out is that that is, apparently, the desired behaviour, per what EggRoll said in the edit filter noticeboard? – 2804:F1...E9:FD1D (talk) 23:05, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've meant to say that I appreciate you pointing me out about that the CAPTCHA didn't work on my alt/test account, but I do not see any comments after my comment on that phab ticket (the latter not being that it doesn't solve the problem).
- Currently, I'm not seeing any new topics or responses on that noticeboard. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 00:17, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-34
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Editors who want to re-use references but with different details such as page numbers, will be able to do so by the end of 2024, using a new sub-referencing feature. You can read more about the project and how to test the prototype.
- Editors using tracking categories to identify which pages use specific extensions may notice that six of the categories have been renamed to make them more easily understood and consistent. These categories are automatically added to pages that use specialized MediaWiki extensions. The affected names are for: DynamicPageList, Kartographer, Phonos, RSS, Score, WikiHiero. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match. Thanks to Pppery for these improvements. [3]
Technical volunteers who edit modules and want to get a list of the categories used on a page, can now do so using the
categories
property ofmw.title objects
. This enables wikis to configure workflows such as category-specific edit notices. Thanks to SD001 for these improvements. [4][5]
Bugs status
Your help is needed to check if any pages need to be moved or deleted. A maintenance script was run to clean up unreachable pages (due to Unicode issues or introduction of new namespaces/namespace aliases). The script tried to find appropriate names for the pages (e.g. by following the Unicode changes or by moving pages whose titles on Wikipedia start with
Talk:WP:
so that their titles start withWikipedia talk:
), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/ instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed. A full log (including pages for which appropriate names could be found) is available in phab:P67388.- Editors who volunteer as mentors to newcomers on their wiki are once again able to access lists of potential mentees who they can connect with to offer help and guidance. This functionality was restored thanks to a bug fix. Thank you to Mbch331 for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 18 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
- The application deadline for the Product & Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) has been extended to September 16. Members will help by providing advice to Foundation Product and Technology leadership on short and long term plans, on complex strategic problems, and help to get feedback from more contributors and technical communities. Selected members should expect to spend roughly 5 hours per month for the Council, during the one year pilot. Please consider applying, and spread the word to volunteers you think would make a positive contribution to the committee.
