Tech News: 2019-36

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 the new termbox interface if you edit Wikidata on a mobile device. This is to edit labels, descriptions and aliases easier on the mobile pages. [1]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki has been deployed during the last week.
  • The previously announced change of positions of the "Wikidata item" link on all wikis has been rollbacked due to unexpected cache issues. [2]
  • The limit for rollbacks has been increased from 10 to 100 rollbacks per minute. [3]
  • The advanced version of the edit review pages (Recent Changes, Watchlist, and Related Changes) now include two new filters. These filters are for "All contents" and "All discussions". They will filter the view to just those namespaces. However the "All discussions" filter does not include pseudo talk pages, like discussions that are in the Project: or Wikipedia: namespaces. But it will include changes happening on Project talk: or the Wikipedia talk:. [4]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 September. It will be on all wikis from 5 September (calendar).
  • When you log in, the software checks your password to see if it follows the Password policy. From this week, it will also complain if your password is one of the most common passwords in the world. If your password is not strong enough, please consider to change your password for a stronger password. [5]

@Zanhe:, I wanted to suggest adding the regnal years of Chinese and Vietnamese Emperors to pages like "1890" which is already done at the Mandarin Chinese Wikipedia, for example at the page "w:zh:1890年" it reads "清光緒十六年；日本明治二十三年；越南成泰二年" , now the Japanese date is already on the English Wikipedia, but the Chinese and Vietnamese regnal years ain't.

The Chinese calendar currently used isn't the one contemporary people used in their day-to-day lives and many official documents and banknotes from this era used regnal years. What page that I am allowed to edit can I suggest such an inclusion? --Donald Trung (talk) 12:28, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

I agree the Chinese/Vietnamese era names should be added to the year pages just like the Japanese ones. The "year in various calendars" box is transcluded from Template:Year in various calendars. I have no idea where the template pulls its data from. You can post a question on the template talk page. -Zanhe (talk) 00:27, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
After a bit more digging, I found out that Template:Year in various calendars uses the Lua module Module:Year in various calendars, which loads Module:Japanese calendar, which in turns loads the calendar data from Module:Japanese calendar/data. This whole system can be replicated for Chinese/Vietnamese era names. Mr. Stradivarius is the author of this well designed Japanese calendar module. -Zanhe (talk) 00:38, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
@Zanhe: Thank you, I will contact the maker later. --Donald Trung (talk) 05:57, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

@Zanhe:, I am not allowed to edit "Module:" And "Module talk:" Namespaces because of that thing with the emoji's and appealing to Cyberpower678 doesn't work anymore as they are unresponsive, if there was another sysop I could appeal to I would, but I am pretty sure that I will never be allowed to ever edit "Module:" And "Module talk:" Namespaces ever again. --Donald Trung (talk) 14:17, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

I see Mr. Stradivarius has been inactive lately and hasn't responded. The main module could be easily adapted from the Japanese one, and the hard part is to compile the data, which would be difficult especially for Chinese eras which lasted 2000+ years, including centuries of division when multiple era names co-existed simultaneously. If you could find a way to deal with that, you could create the data module in your user space and ask Stradivarius to move it to module space after it's been tested. -Zanhe (talk) 01:55, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
Regarding your edit restriction, I think you can appeal to the involved admin(s) as you've been a constructive contributor in the 18 months since your last block. Even indefinitely blocked users can request unblocking after 6 months per WP:SO. -Zanhe (talk) 02:00, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
