Recent changes
- As part of the changes for the better diff handling of paragraph splits, improved detection of splits is being rolled out. Over the last two weeks, we deployed this support to group0 and group1 wikis. This week it will be deployed to group2 wikis. [10]
- All Speciaal:Bijdragen pages now show the user's local edit count and the account's creation date. [11]
- Wikisource users can now use the
prpbengalicurrency
label to denote Bengali currency characters as page numbers inside the<pagelist>
tag. [12] - Two preferences have been relocated. The preference "Schakel de visuele bewerker in" is now shown on the "Bewerken" tab at all wikis. Previously it was shown on the "Bètafuncties" tab at some wikis. The preference "Gebruik de wikitekst-modus in de visuele tekstverwerker, in plaats van een andere wikitekst-tekstverwerker" is now also shown on the "Bewerken" tab at all wikis, instead of the "Bètafuncties" tab. [13][14]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 August. It will be on all wikis from 31 August (calendar).

- All right-to-left language wikis, plus Korean, Armenian, Ukrainian, Russian, and Bulgarian Wikipedias, will have a link in the sidebar that provides a short URL of that page, using the Wikimedia URL Shortener. This feature will come to more wikis in future weeks. [15]
Future changes
- The removal of the DoubleWiki extension is being discussed. This extension currently allows Wikisource users to view articles from multiple language versions side by side when the
<=>
symbol next to a specific language edition is selected. Comments on this are welcomed at the phabricator task. - A proposal has been made to merge the second hidden-categories list (which appears below the wikitext editing form) with the main list of categories (which is further down the page). More information is available on Phabricator; feedback is welcome!

The changes impacted the following Wikis: all projects with Vector legacy as the default skin, Wikivoyage, and Wikibooks. Other wikis will be affected over the course of the next three months. Gadgets are not impacted. If you have been affected or want to minimize the impact on your project, see this ticket. Please coordinate and take action proactively.

Tech News: 2024-09[brontekst bewerken]
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 mobile visual editor is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis. Research shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as well. [24]
- The mw.config value
wgGlobalGroups
now only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is:if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups")))
. [25]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be on all wikis from 29 February (calendar). [26][27]

) will be removed from users in Wikimedia sites, keeping it by default for admins and bots only. Your community can ask to retain the old configuration on your wiki before this change happens. Please indicate in this ticket to keep it for your community before the end of March 2024.

The developers are also 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.

- LombardiaBeniCulturali collection ID (ID of a collection on lombardiabeniculturali.it)
- population by native language (native language population of a place)
- tartan (item's tartan; Tartan is a Scottish cloth pattern symbolizing a clan, region, or group.)
- Newest External identifiers: FilmVandaag ID, FBW ID, Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages ID, Jerusalem Film Cinematheque person ID, PitchBook profile ID, New Oxford American Dictionary ID, Stichting Erfgoed Nederlandse Biercultuur brewery ID, Gentoo Wiki article ID, Dhliz ID, RAG ID, The Sounds Resource game ID, The Lost Media Wiki page ID, Cbonds company profile, Iconoteca dell'Accademia di architettura ID, Kōmako author ID, urban area census code, The Law Dictionary entry, CDC Stacks ID, Authority file of the Iraqi Authors, Gentoo GURU package ID, TheLegacy game ID, Explanatory Ukrainian Dictionary ID, Grand Theft Wiki ID, Folkets lexikon ID, Pushkin Museum artist ID, Virtual Russian Museum artist ID, LGD Block Code, Australian Oxford Dictionary ID, ICPE establishment ID, case number (mainland China), Lille norske leksikon ID, WiiG.de developer ID, WiiG.de publisher ID, The New Zealand Oxford Dictionary ID, Azerbaijani National Assembly ID, Canadian Oxford Dictionary ID, GOG product ID, Archnet authority ID, Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable ID, Comprehensive Dictionary of the Contemporary Ukrainian Language ID, Archaeological investigations in Hungary ID, Global Egyptian Museum ID, Historic Synagogues of Europe ID, TheLegacy company ID, Nintendo Life game ID, Push Square game ID, Pure Xbox game ID, Palula dictionary ID, Oxford Dictionary of English entry ID, Slovenian Etymological Dictionary ID, Jedipedia.net ID
- New General datatypes property proposals to review:
- last appearance (last work featuring a fictional character or item)
- is ontological root of (forms the root element of the ontology)
- located in the Islamic territorial entity (the item is located on the territory of the following Islamic entity.)
- address of addressee (address of the address e.g. on a postcard)
- TheaterEncyclopedie ID (An item of the TheaterEncyclopedie)
- relates to sustainable development goal, target or indicator (indicates a relation between the subject and the SDGs or one of the components)
- taxon synonym of (taxon item (considered a preferred name according to a given reference) of which this taxon name is a synonym - the new property will be the inverse property of {{P|1420}})
- Competitor (Competitors in game shows)
- basionym of (taxon item of which this taxon name is a basionym (original name, for botanical and similar items) - inverse property of {{P|566}})

- student count by gender (I think there should be a way to document the number of students at a university by their gender, as data for student counts (at least if they come from GENESIS Online - german universities) contain that data divided in male and female students. I think it would make more sense to implement that as a qualifier for {{P|2196}} than implementing it as a new property as that wouldn't make old data obsolete, but also it could interfere with tools that retrieve that data automated and are then confused by having multiple counts at the same time.)
