维基媒体技术社群发出最新技术新闻。请告知其他用户以下变更。当然,未必所有变更都会影响阁下。有提供其他语言的翻译版本。
问题
- 在10月27日 14:00 (UTC)左右的至多1小时内您将只能阅读而不能编辑维基,这可能会短于1小时。 [21]
- 上星期时,手机版的监视清单和最近更改之修订版本“差异”按钮会错误连结至特定版本修订页面,而非编辑差异。而这问题现已被修复。 [22]
本周后期变更
- 本周没有MediaWiki的新版本。
未来更新
2020年10月26日 (一) 17:38 (UTC)
维基媒体技术社群发出最新技术新闻。请告知其他用户以下变更。当然,未必所有变更都会影响阁下。有提供其他语言的翻译版本。
最近更改
- 您不能够透过使用旧版本的TLS之浏览器来浏览维基媒体的网站。这是基于安全上的考虑及旧版本的TLS可能会造成降级攻击的出现。自2020年10月29日起,使用旧版TLS之用户不能正常连上及使用维基媒体的网站。建议使用之浏览器列表可见于此。而现时主流的操作系统及浏览器应能正常连上及使用之。 [26]
- 现推出了新的追踪分类“带有非数字formatnum参数的页面”。此分类能够取得使用
{{formatnum}}
解析器函数而无效(非数字)输入之页面,例如是{{formatnum:TECHNEWS}}
。请注意,根据说明文件,参数应是未格式化的,才可得到正确和可信的输出,故{{formatnum:123,456}}
也是无效输入。此分类将能有助辨别错误的解析器函数用法和双重格式化之问题。此分类之名称可在Translatewiki内翻译。 [27]
本周后期变更
- MediaWiki新版本将于11月3日部署至测试维基及MediaWiki.org,11月4日部署至非维基百科站点及部分维基百科,11月5日部署至所有站点,参见日历。
- 管理员和监管员将能使用特殊页面(Special:CreateLocalAccount)来强制为全域账号创建本地的账号。这在该账号被阻止创建(例如是过滤器或封禁)时很有帮助。 [28]
- 回复工具将会于11月3日(星期三)成为大多数维基百科的测试功能。此次更新因特殊情况而排除了英语、俄语及德语及少数小规模的维基百科。您可以阅读帮助页面及故障排除指南来取得更多资讯。 [29]
未来更新
- 有关当于
{{formatnum}}
解析器函数之参数提供负数时,在输出使用Unicode减号 (− U+2212)之讨论已被重开。 [30] - 于未来未注册用户的IP地址将不会向所有人显示,而ip地址将会由别称取代,并且会有一个用户权限或功能来为反破坏者查看ip地址,权限或功能需达到一些标准后才能使用。另外也会有其他新工具来帮助反破坏。相关计划仍在早期阶段,以及开发者会在提出新方案前继续从社群中收集意见。

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
- Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 11 January 2021.
Recent changes
- The
{{citation needed}}
template shows when a statement in a Wikipedia article needs a source. If you click on it when you edit with the visual editor there is a popup that explains this. Now it can also show the reason and when it was added. [47]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
Future changes
- You can propose and discuss what technical improvements should be done for geographic information. This could be coordinates, maps or other related things.
- Some wikis use LanguageConverter to switch between writing systems or variants of a language. This can only be done for the entire page. There will be a
<langconvert>
tag that can convert a piece of text on a page. [48] - Oversighters and stewards can hide entries in Special:AbuseLog. They can soon hide multiple entries at once using checkboxes. This works like hiding normal edits. It will happen in early January. [49]

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 choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the CAPTCHA. This has now been fixed. [50]
- You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry. [51]
- Admins can use the abuse filter tool to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
- The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later. [52]
- Oversighters can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on Special:AbuseLog. This is how the usual revision deletion works. [53]
- When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is "throttled". The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this "throttle".
- There is a new tool to build new skins. You can also see existing skins. You can give feedback. [54]
- Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the
watchlist
towatch
will still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database. [55] - Scribunto's file metadata now includes length. [56]
- CSS and JavaScript code pages now have link anchors to line numbers. You can use wikilinks like w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js#L-50. [57]
- There was a new version of MediaWiki last week. You can read a detailed log of all 763 changes. Most of them are very small and will not affect you.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 January. It will be on all wikis from 14 January (calendar).
