2024年第49期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。

近况更新 - 面向编辑者

• 本周新增了两个解析器函数。{{#interwikilink}}用于加入跨维基链接、{{#interlanguagelink}}用于加入跨语言链接。这两个解析器函数可以在命名空间与跨维基前缀相冲突时使用。例如，英语维基百科上以MOS:开头的链接与莫西语维基百科的mos语言代码前缀相冲突。
• 从本周开始，维基媒体维基不再支持使用旧式RSA型HTTPS凭证的连接，具体来说是RSA-2048。此举旨在提高所有使用者的安全性。部分较旧、不受支持的浏览器或智慧型行动装置将无法连接；反之，它们会显示连接错误。详情请参阅HTTPS浏览器建议页面。所有现代作业系统和浏览器始终能够访问维基媒体维基。 [8]
• 12月16日开始，部分维基的结构式讨论页将自动存档并设为唯读模式，这些维基包括：arwiki、​cawiki、​frwiki、​mediawikiwiki、​orwiki、​wawiki、​wawiktionary、​wikidatawiki、​zhwiki。这是结构式讨论弃用作业的一部分。如果您需要任何协助来预先存档您的讨论页，请联络Trizek (WMF)。 [9]
• 本月，Chart图表扩展已部署至生产环境，目前可在共享资源和测试维基使用。随著安全审查的完成，维基试行部署预计于12月第1周开始。您可以在测试维基查看工作版本，并阅读11月的项目更新了解更多。
• 查看上周解决的共23个社群提交工单。 例如，“下载为PDF”系统的错误现已修复。 [10]

近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者

• 明年2月下旬，临时帐号将在至少10个大型维基推出。这项部署将对由社群维护的代码产生重大影响，影响包括Toolforge工具、机器人、小工具，以及使用IP位址数据或可供未登录用户使用的用户脚本。信任与安全产品团队希望找出这些代码、监控它们，并在部署前协助更新，以尽量减少对工作流程的干扰。团队恳请技术编辑者和志愿开发者们协助找出此类工具，将它们加入此清单。此外，请查阅更新后的文档，了解如何调整此类工具。欢迎到项目讨论页或维基媒体社群Discord伺服器（英文）的专门讨论区参与讨论，寻求支持并分享意见。

2024年第50期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。

本周要闻

• MediaWiki.org文档中心更新，技术文档贡献者现在可由此取得最新资源，并了解与社群及维基媒体技术文件团队的新联系方式。该页面提供以下连结：文档编写与改进资源、libera.chat上的新IRC频道#wikimedia-techdocs、过去和即将举办的文档相关活动清单、请求文档谘询或审查的方法。如果您对文档生态系统有任何想法或改进意见，请联络技术文档团队。

近况更新 - 面向编辑者

编辑检查功能的版面调整

• 本周稍晚，桌面版的编辑检查框将移至侧边栏。编辑检查功能旨在协助新手编辑者遵循方针与指引。这项版面调整腾出的空间，让编辑者在输入文字时，能同时看到新的检查项目。初步结果显示，新手在遇到编辑检查框后，成功发布包含参考资料且未被回退的新内容编辑的可能性提高了2.2倍。
• 数据可视化工具——Chart图表扩展已顺利部署至MediaWiki.org和3个试办维基（义大利语、瑞典语、希伯来语维基百科）。您可以在测试维基查看范例，并阅读11月的项目更新了解更多。
• 在提供移动版内容翻译的维基中，翻译者现在可以从条目建议功能中的“所有收藏”分类中探索他们感兴趣的维基专题活动条目。维基专题的活动筹办人员可以使用此功能，透过将<page-collection> </page-collection>标签加入至元维基上的活动条目列表页面，帮助翻译者探索感兴趣的条目。这将提高这些条目在内容翻译工具中的能见度。关于如何使用该工具和标签的详情，请参阅逐步指南。 [11]
• “大量删除”（Nuke）功能现在有了可多选的命名空间筛选。这使得用户在提取要删除的页面时，能够选择多个特定的命名空间，而不是仅选择一个或全部。
• 此外，在待删除页面进入队列后，大量删除功能现在会提供以下连结：遭删除页面的创建者的用户页，以及其未被选择删除的页面。这使得管理员能更容易进行后续管理操作。感谢Chlod和Moderator Tools团队所做的这两项改进。 [12]
• 编辑团队正在努力让自动填入引用产生器——Citoid更容易从archive.org填入引用。团队要求社群在每个使用Citoid的引用模板的TemplateData中预先加入两个参数archiveUrl和archiveDate。参见模板变更范例，以及所有相关模板的清单。 [13]
• 一个新的维基已创建： 印尼语维基导游 (voy:id:) [14]
• 上周，所有维基网站经历了持续30至45分钟的服务中断，无法顺利提供网页给已登录及部分未登录用户。此事件起因于资料库异常，调查仍在进行中。 [15]
• 查看上周解决的共19个社群提交工单。 例如，添加链接功能的错误现已修复。之前，在某些情况下，从添加链接功能排除的章节清单会被部分忽略。 [16][17]

近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者

• 维基媒体设计系统——Codex现在有一个早期阶段的PHP实现。它可透过Composer在MediaWiki扩展与Toolforge应用程式供一般使用，并即将用于MediaWiki核心。更多详情请参阅文档。感谢Doğu的灵感以及对函式库的诸多贡献。 [18]
• Wikimedia REST API用户，如机器人操作者和工具维护者，可能会受到正在进行的升级更新的影响。12月4日，MediaWiki介面团队著手将测试维基上的页面及修订版本的metadata、渲染后的HTML内容等端点，从RESTbase重编路由至相似的MediaWiki REST API端点。团队鼓励这些端点的活跃用户在测试维基验证其工具的行为，并于年底前将任何疑虑提交至相关的Phabricator工单，团队打算于1月初在所有维基媒体项目实施相同的变更。这是取代过时的RESTBase系统的作业的一部分。
• 邀请维基媒体开发者社群填写2024年开发者满意度调查。如果您在维基媒体生态系统的软体开发中占有一角，请填写此问卷调查。调查开放填写至2025年1月3日，并请参阅相关隐私声明。
• 本周没有MediaWiki的新版本。 [19]

会议与活动

• 维基媒体基金会与维基共享资源社群的讨论系列的下一次会议将于12月12日的8:00 UTC和16:00 UTC举行。本次通话会议的主题是新媒体和新贡献者。欢迎所有维基的贡献者参加。

来自Leeyoumi的问题 （2024年12月18日 (三) 10:34）

hello，导师，我想问下，我刚刚编辑了一个新的条目，但是点击跳入上传图片的页面之后，返回就回不到编辑的页面。能否通过什么方式去到草稿箱呢？ --Leeyoumi（留言） 2024年12月18日 (三) 10:34 (UTC)

@Leeyoumi：您好，建议先将草稿编写到一个段落后，再上传图片并插入到条目中，在跳到其他页面后，请在浏览器的网址列中输入https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions，如此即可看到您编辑过哪些页面，点击其中您要前往的页面即可。--冥王欧西里斯（留言） 2024年12月18日 (三) 11:45 (UTC)

您好，导师。因我这边是第一次加入维基百科编辑，对维基百科的描述方式不是很清楚。在刚刚发表的广州流花服装批发市场的条目中，主要想阐述该地理位置的历史及周边商圈的重要性。但发表后出现快速删除提醒。想请问能否帮忙看看是哪部分的描述不符合规定，我这边进行调整，感谢

https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%BB%A3%E5%B7%9E%E6%B5%81%E8%8A%B1%E6%9C%8D%E8%A3%9D%E6%89%B9%E7%99%BC%E5%B8%82%E5%A0%B4--Leeyoumi（留言） 2024年12月19日 (四) 03:17 (UTC)

@Leeyoumi：您好，建议透过Wikipedia:建立条目精灵的草稿流程编写，如此可透过草稿的审核流程来协助您熟悉维基百科的编写规范，至于目前这个条目的问题，请见Wikipedia:格式手册/不要华而不实。--冥王欧西里斯（留言） 2024年12月19日 (四) 03:38 (UTC)

By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata.

2025年第3期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。

本周要闻

• 单一用户登录（SUL）系统将在今后几个月中进行更新。借由这个系统，用户只需在一个维基媒体网站上填入帐号密码，即可于所有其他维基媒体网站上登入。由于浏览器对跨网域cookie的限制日趋严格，因此需要更新。为了配合这些限制，登入和帐号建立页面将移至中央网域，但以用户的视角来看仍像是在原本的维基站点上。此更新将于本周在测试维基上推出。此变更计划于2月和3月向所有用户推出。请参阅SUL3项目页面以了解更多细节和时间表。

近况更新 - 面向编辑者

• 在安装有PageAssessments的维基上，用户现在可以用inproject:前缀，按维基专题筛选搜寻结果。这些维基包括：阿拉伯语维基百科、​英语维基百科、​英语维基导游、​法语维基百科、​匈牙利语维基百科、​尼泊尔语维基百科、​土耳其语维基百科、​中文维基百科。 [21]
• 已新建一个维基： 提格雷语维基百科 (w:tig:) [22]
• 上周有35个社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，先前回退所产生的编辑未正确计入用户的编辑次数，此问题现已修复。 [23]

近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者

• Wikimedia REST API用户，如机器人操作者和工具维护者，可能会受到正在进行的升级更新的影响。从1月13日当周开始，我们将著手将部分页面内容端点从RESTbase重新路由至较新的MediaWiki REST API端点，这项变更适用于所有维基站点。这项变更先前已在测试维基上施行，应不会影响现有功能；如果相关端点的活跃用户发现任何问题，可以直接在Phabricator中向MediaWiki介面团队回报。
• 诚邀Toolforge工具维护者分享他们对Toolforge UI的意见回馈。Toolforge UI是一项提供Web平台的计画，让工具维护者能透过图形介面来创建和管理Toolforge工具，以补足现有的命令列工作流程。Toolforge UI旨在简化活跃维护者的工作，并让新工具创建者更容易进行注册和部署流程。这项计画仍处于非常早期的阶段，Cloud Services团队正在收集Toolforge社群的意见回馈，以协助塑造满足其需求的解决方案。阅读更多并分享您对Toolforge UI的看法。
• 使用OAuth系统的工具和函数库开发者请留意：先前，用于OAuth 1和OAuth 2的身分端点会返回一个JSON对象，其sub字段为整数——这是不正确的，该字段应始终为字串。此问题已修复，并将于1月13日当周部署至维基媒体维基。 [24]
• 目前，许多维基使用Cite CSS在Parsoid输出中呈现自订脚注标记（脚注编号）。从1月20日开始，这些规则将被停用，但开发人员强烈建议您不要在2月20日之前清理MediaWiki:Common.css，以免迁移过程中发生问题。您的维基在可视化编辑器中和使用实验性Parsoid阅读模式时，可能会遇到脚注标记的一些小变更；即使有变更，其所渲染出的应与旧版解析器的输出一致。 [25]

会议与活动

• 维基媒体基金会与维基共享资源社群的对话系列的下一次会议将于1月15日的8:00 UTC和16:00 UTC举行。本次通话会议的主题是决定共享资源工具投资的优先顺序。欢迎所有维基的贡献者参加，尤其是维护共享资源工具的用户。

技术新闻由技术新闻编者准备，并由机器人送达 • 贡献 • 翻译 • 获取帮助 • 提供反馈 • 订阅或退订。

• 如我之前所言，请考虑改变相关处理决定。--MCC214（Sign | Contributions） 2025年1月30日 (四) 06:24 (UTC)

  根据WP:PARTIAL：“管理员可对仅在特定范畴存在扰乱行为（如编辑战、推定不中立观点等），而在维基百科其他部分持续有良好贡献的使用者使用部分封锁，以容许其在扰乱范围以外继续参与维基百科编辑。”虽然该使用者仅在条目空间与Template空间编辑，但对先前的警告并无回应，也未显示出改善意愿，实在难以推定该使用者在其他命名空间会有持续良好贡献，但若该使用者申诉并提出改善计画，或许可修改封锁范围。--冥王欧西里斯（留言） 2025年2月3日 (一) 02:20 (UTC)

2025年第4期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。

近况更新 - 面向编辑者

• 管理员可以用大量删除（Nuke）功能大量删除由特定用户或IP位址建立的页面。先前，该功能只能删除过去30天内建立的页面。现在，针对特定用户或IP位址，该功能可以删除过去90天内建立的页面。 [26]
• 在启用编辑巡查功能的维基上，当使用回退功能复原未经巡查的页面修订时，系统现在会将其标记为更准确的“手动巡查”，而非“自动巡查”。在最近更改中设有筛选条件的编者可能需要更新。 [27]
• 上周有31个社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，先前可视化编辑器的“插入链接”功能，当输入时偶尔不会正确显示建议的现有页面，现已修正此问题。

近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者

• 结构式讨论扩展（又称Flow）正逐步弃用。该扩展未经维护且造成问题。结构式讨论将被讨论工具（DiscussionTools）取代，其用于任何一般讨论页。我们即将联络最后一批维基（加泰罗尼亚语维基语录、​芬兰维基媒体协会、​果阿孔卡尼语维基百科、​卡拜尔语维基百科、​葡萄牙语维基教科书、​瑞典维基媒体协会）。如果您对弃用流程有任何疑问，请在您的维基上提及（ping）Trizek (WMF)。 [28]
• 季刊技术社群电子报新期数发布。本期内容包括：来自资料平台工程团队的服务近况更新；来自设计系统团队的Codex资讯更新；等等。

2025年第5期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。

本周要闻

• 巡查员们和管理员们——哪些关于编辑或使用者的资讯或情境，可以帮助您更快速、轻松地做出巡查或管理决策？维基媒体基金会想听取您的意见，以协助指导即将到来的年度计画。请考虑分享您对这个问题和其他13个问题的想法，以塑造明年度的技术方向。

近况更新 - 面向编辑者

• 现在，世界各地的iOS维基百科App使用者都可以使用个人化的“年度回顾”，根据他们在维基百科上的阅读与编辑记录提供洞察报告。这个项目是众多努力的一部分，旨在帮助新读者探索百科内容并与之互动。
• 有一个新标签可供巡查员标记可能有问题的新页面。现在，当新建页面的标题与先前已被删除的页面相同时，会标上标签“Recreated”，使用者可以在Special:最近更改和Special:最新页面中筛选出该标签。 [29]
• 本周稍晚开始，如果编辑者尝试建立连结至另一个重定向的重定向（即双重重定向），将会被新的警告阻止。该警告会建议他们直接连结至第二个重定向的目标页面。感谢SomeRandomDeveloper所做的改进。 [30]
• 维基媒体维基允许在登入过程中使用基于WebAuthn的双因素验证（例如硬体权杖），但是该功能很脆弱，使用者非常少。MediaWiki平台团队暂时禁止新增WebAuthn金钥，以避免干扰SUL3的推出。现有的金钥不受影响。 [31]
• 上周有30个社群提交的工单得到解决。

近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者

• 使用MediaWiki History dumps的开发者请留意：资料平台工程团队在这些转储中新增了几个栏位，以支援临时帐号。如果您负责维护读取这些资料库的软体，请检查您的代码并查阅更新后的文档，因为栏位在行（row）中的顺序将会改变。此外，在mediawiki_user_history转储中，anonymous栏位将重命名为is_anonymous。这些变更将在2月的发行版本中生效。 [32]

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• ⚠️ Wikidata Query Service graph split: The graph split is about 2 months away. If you are doing queries that involve scholarly articles or if you have an application that does you will be affected. Please check d:Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split for details.
• We (Peter F. Patel-Schneider and Egezort) want to run a course on the Wikidata Ontology for a limited number of participants. Designed for those already familiar with Wikidata, it will present information about ontologies and how they form the core of Wikidata, incorporating several exercises on analyses of and fixes to the Wikidata ontology. Upon successful completion (ending with a group project in consultation by us), participants will receive certificates. Please give feedback and suggestions to improve the structure and course content (found in more detail at WikiProject:Ontology Course) which will be incorporated into our Wikimedia rapid grant application to support the effort. Interested in helping or want to share your thoughts? Let us know.
• Several database changes will impact Wikidata in the coming months, including the migration of the term store (wbt_ tables) to a dedicated cluster to improve performance and enable future growth. This move will speed up most Wikidata SQL queries but prevent direct joins between term store data and other Wikidata tables. Additionally, the wb_type table will be removed, with its mapping hardcoded in Wikibase, simplifying the codebase. More details.
• Call for projects and mentors for Google Summer of Code 2025! Deadline: February 28th. More info!
• Lydia Pintscher awarded the European Open Source Award - Wikidata Portfolio Manager for WMDE, Lydia's contributions to the development of Wikidata have been recognised in the category of Advocacy and Awareness.

2025年第7期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。

本周要闻

• 产品与技术谘询委员会（PTAC）发表了一份对维基媒体基金会产品与技术部门的建议的草案。PTAC建议部门专注于行动装置体验，尤其是关于贡献。PTAC请求社群在讨论页提出意见回馈，2月21日截止。

近况更新 - 面向编辑者

• 默认情况下，“特殊页面”portlet链接将从“工具”区块移至主选单侧边栏的“导航”区块（位于最顶部的区块）。“工具”是用来放置与当前页面相关的工具，而非与站点相关的工具，这项变更将使链接位置更符合一贯的逻辑。若要修改此行为并更新CSS样式，管理员可遵循T385346的指示进行修改。 [39]
• 网页团队的一项工作是改善读者在维基上探索内容的方式。作为该工作的一部分，网页团队将对少数读者进行一项实验，在搜寻栏中显示一些相关或有趣条目的建议。参阅专案页面了解更多。
• 使用TemplateStyles的模板编辑者现在可以用无障碍相关的媒体查询（prefers-reduced-motion、prefers-reduced-transparency、prefers-contrast、forced-colors），来针对特定无障碍需求定制输出。感谢Bawolff所做的改进。 [40]
• 上周有22个社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，全域封锁日志现在会直接显示在Special:中央认证页面上，与全域锁定类似，以简化监管员的工作流程。 [41]

近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者

• 维基数据现在支援一种特殊语言“所有语言的默认值”，作为标签和别名。这是为了避免相同的资讯过度地重复出现在多种语言中。如果您的维基数据查询会用到标签，您可能需要更新您的查询方式，因为部分现有标签会被移除。 [42]
• 先前，getDescription函数会在每次读取维基页面时被调用，约占页面总载入时间的2.5%。现在，计算出的值将被快取，以减轻维基媒体伺服器的负载。 [43]
• 作为RESTBase弃用作业的一部分，/page/related端点已于2025年2月6日封锁，并将于近期移除。此时程选择乃为配合旧版Android和iOS的弃用时程。MediaWiki的“morelike”action API提供了稳定的替代方案，请参考迁移范例。如有任何疑问，请联络MediaWiki介面团队。 [44]

深入了解

• 季刊语言与国际化电子报新期数发布。 本期内容包括：有关“贡献”功能表（Speciale:Contribute）的更新；维基百科一些最新语言版本的细节资讯；MediaWiki介面支援的新语言的细节资讯；社群定义清单功能的近况更新；等等。
• Chart专案电子报新期数发布。 本期内容包括：为Chart图表的全域使用情况提高可见性的进度更新；在共享资源上的Data命名空间中支援页面分类的进度更新。
