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能移动设备将无法连接；反之，它们会显示连接错误。详情请参阅HTTPS浏览器建议页面。所有现代操作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只读模式，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。随着安全审查的完成，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，临时账号将在至少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地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服务器（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、请求文档咨询或审查的方法。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（意大利语、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。此事件起因于数据库异常，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应用程序供一般使用，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界面团队着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件开发中占有一角，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)
