Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes It is now possible to upload MP3 files to Commons. Only users with MP3 file upload rights can upload MP3 files. [১০] You can now use live updates for recent changes if you use the new filters. This feature updates the filtered recent changes every three seconds when you activate it. [১১] There is an experimental onion service for Wikimedia projects. [১২] Changes later this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 December. It will be on all wikis from 7 December (calendar). Very old versions of the Opera Web browser are no longer supported. This means that technical development will not be tested to make sure it works with those Opera versions. Use Opera 15 or above or another browser if you have problems. [১৩] Almost 170 wikis with no high-priority errors in Linter categories will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. A few larger wikis such as German and Italian Wikipedia will also make this switch. It will happen on 5 December. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [১৪][১৫] Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 5 December at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join. You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 6 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join. Future changes The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey will decide what the Community Tech team will work on next year. You can vote for wishes on the survey page until 10 December. You can see what has happened to last year's wishes on the 2016 results page. The Community Liaisons team at the Wikimedia Foundation is looking for active tech ambassadors. This is to make sure the Wikimedia communities get all the information they need about new features and can be involved in the technical development.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes URLs that link to sections on Wikimedia wikis with non-Latin scripts have looked like this: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия#.D0.98.D1.81.D1.82.D0.BE.D1.80.D0.B8.D1.8F instead of https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия#История. This has now been fixed on all wikis. Old links will still work. [১৭] A new tag marks edits where a redirect was created or removed. This still works when the editor writes something else in the edit summary. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. [১৮] If you use Chrome on Android, you can now use the print to PDF button to create a PDF of an article. [১৯] Filter by number of edits or filter by time range have been grouped on a same menu on the recent changes page if you use the new filters. The "$1 থেকে নতুনতর পরিবর্তনসমূহ দেখুন" link is now more prominent. [২০] Some of the web fonts that were provided by the Universal Language Selector extension are being removed. This is to reduce the load time on pages. The web fonts were added many years ago to help users read text in scripts which did not have fonts or had broken fonts. This is not the case any more. You can check the status page for a list of all web fonts and whether they are currently being used and especially for special requirements. [২১] Changes later this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 December. It will be on all wikis from 14 December (calendar). Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team.

Tech News Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2018. Problems When you import a page from another wiki the usernames of the users who edited the article on the wiki you imported it from are shown in the article history. This should link to the users on the original wiki. A script to fix this caused problems for Wikidata and German Wikipedia. It also created a large number of SUL accounts on wikis where editors had never edited. [২২] Some bot owners got email about their bots logging in from a new computer. If this is from one or a couple of wikis, you can turn these messages off in your preferences on those wikis until the problem has been solved. If not, you can report more about the problem in Phabricator. Changes later this week There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either. Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on ১৯ ডিসেম্বর at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join. Future changes Files on Commons will have structured metadata in the future. The developers are now looking for examples of different kinds of metadata to make sure they are aware of them when they build prototypes for structured data on Commons. You can read more and help by giving examples of interesting media files. The Structured Commons team are making sure Commons work with structured data. If you regularly contribute to Commons and Wikidata you can answer a survey that helps the team prioritise the tools that are important for the Commons and Wikidata communities. The survey ends on 22 December. You can read more on Commons. You can also help the team decide on better names for "captions" and "descriptions". This ends on 3 January 2018. The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey has now ended. You can see the results. They decide what the Community Tech team will work on next year.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes On Wikidata, the "সংরক্ষণ" button when you edit is now called "প্রকাশ করুন". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "সংরক্ষণ" to "পরিবর্তন প্রকাশ করুন". This is to help new editors understand what it does. [২৩][২৪] Some edits will get an automatic tag on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways. [২৫] Special:UnusedFiles shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons only shows files that are not used on any wiki. [২৬] Structured discussions now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation has been updated. [২৭][২৮] Problems Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work. The developers are looking into the problem. [২৯] With the new filters in the recent changes, "নির্বাচিতগুলি বাদ দিন" in "নামস্থান" did not work for "সংরক্ষিত ছাঁকনি" between 13 December and 2 January. When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again. [৩০] The latest version of Google Chrome broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see #R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9 instead of #Résumé even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March). [৩১] Some POST requests to the API took longer than usual in parts of December. This affected the Wikidata UI and some gadgets the most. It has now been fixed. [৩২] Changes later this week Wikidata will be moved to its own database servers. This is because it is growing and needs more resources. Because of this you will be able to read but not edit Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis. [৩৩] The font size in the editing window will change slightly for some users. It will now look the same on all browsers and operating systems. [৩৪][৩৫] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 January. It will be on all wikis from 11 January (calendar). WikiEditor's ResourceLoader modules have been simplified to one: ext.wikiEditor. All the other modules are now deprecated aliases and should be removed. [৩৬] Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team.

Recent changes Bureaucrats on Wikimedia wikis where the Translate extension is installed can now add and remove the translation administrator permission by default. Administrators of wikis where this extension is enabled can add and remove this permission to or from themselves. Wikis that used a different configuration before have not changed. [৩৭] There is a new Discourse test support channel for Wikimedia developers. You can ask questions or answer others questions about MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development. [৩৮] Problems Last week's MediaWiki update was rolled back. This was because of a bug that changed non-ASCII characters when a page was edited. [৩৯][৪০] Changes later this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar). Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team.

Future changes A few hundred wikis with less than ten high-priority errors in Linter categories will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 31 January. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018.

Recent changes Filters on Special:RecentChangesLinked will get the new look similar to on the recent changes page. Special:RecentChangesLinked will also get some new features. [৪৩][৪৪] Problems With the new OOUI look menus and popups can open upwards instead of downwards. This was meant to make long dropdown menus easier to use. Sometimes these menus have been overlapped by other things. This is now fixed. [৪৫] Changes later this week There is no new MediaWiki version this week. Meetings You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 24 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join. Future changes irc.wikimedia.org will be rebooted on 22 February. Some bots use this to get the recent changes feed.

They are now looking for feedback on what do do with AbuseFilter, the IRC RecentChanges feed, the RelatedSites extension and TimedMediaHandler. You can leave feedback on the linked talk pages.

This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to. [৪৮] The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language. [৪৯] Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded. [৫০] Problems Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this. [৫১] Changes later this week When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users. [৫২] When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like gallery widths="150px". You could use em or % instead of px but it would make no difference. You can now only use 150px or nothing (150). If you write something else, instead of treating it like px, it will not work. [৫৩] The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of হ্যাঁ or না it will say Thank and Cancel. It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public. [৫৪] Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it. [৫৫] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar). Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator. [৫৮][৫৯][৬০] Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots. Changes later this week You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages. [৬১] The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like {{reflist}}, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates. [৬২] The abuse filter extension has a new feature contains_all that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. [৬৩] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar). Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team.

Recent changes The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed. [৬৫][৬৬] You can now see statistics for pageviews per wiki per country. You can see this on maps or in a table. [৬৭] Problems Linter is reporting estimated counts instead of actual counts for some wikis. This is because of performance problems. You might notice a false higher number in linter counts for some categories. This will be fixed as soon as the performance problem has been fixed. [৬৮] Last week the way that Visual Editor displays references lists was changed. As a result, the references generated by specific templates like {{sfn}} are not visible in the references list whilst editing. [৬৯][৭০] Changes later this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 February.

সাম্প্রতিক পরিবর্তনসমূহ ব্যবহারকারী পরীক্ষক এবং স্টুয়ার্ডরা এখন ব্যক্তিগত তথ্য যেমন অপব্যবহার লগের আইপি ঠিকানা দেখতে পারেন। এই উপাত্ত নিয়মিতভাবে মুছে ফেলা হয়। [৭২] সমস্যাসমূহ গত সপ্তাহের মিডিয়াউইকি সংস্করণটিকে একটি বাগের কারণে বাতিল করা হয়েছে। [৭৩][৭৪] গত সপ্তাহে ২০শে ফেব্রুয়ারি মধ্যরাত ইউটিসি পর্যন্ত, যখন আপনি কোনও সম্পাদনার জন্য কাউকে ধন্যবাদ জানিয়েছিলেন, ধন্যবাদটি সেই পৃষ্ঠাটিতে সর্বশেষ অনির্বাচিত সম্পাদনায় গিয়েছে। আপনি যে সম্পাদনার জন্য ধন্যবাদ দেয়ার চেষ্ঠাই করুন না কেন সেটি কাজ করেনি। এটি ঠিক করা হয়েছে। [৭৫] বিশেষ:পরিসংখ্যান ১৩ ফেব্রুয়ারী ২০১৮ সাল থেকে সদ্য তৈরি করা পৃষ্ঠাগুলিকে গণনা করছিল না। এর ফলে পরিসংখ্যানগুলি পুনঃনির্ধারণ করা হয়েছে। [৭৬][৭৭][৭৮] চলতি সপ্তাহের পরিবর্তনসমূহ ইন্টারনেট এক্সপ্লোরারের সংস্করণ ১০-এর ব্যবহারকারীরা আর উইকিমিডিয়া উইকিগুলিতে জাভাস্ক্রিপ্ট পাবেন না। আপনি যদি আপনার কম্পিউটারে এই ব্রাউজার ব্যবহার করেন তবে আপনি একটি নতুন সংস্করণে হালনাগাদ করার চেষ্টা করতে পারেন। [৭৯] উইকিসংবাদ রিমিক্স পার্সিং লাইব্রেরি ব্যবহার করতে শুরু করবে। এটি Tidy কে পুনঃস্থাপন করতে করা হচ্ছে। এটি ২৭ ফেব্রুয়ারীতে করা হবে। অন্যান্য উইকিগুলিকে ত্রুটিগুলি সংশোধন করতে শীঘ্রই এটিতে আসার পরামর্শ দেয়া হচ্ছে। ২০১৮-এর মাঝামাঝি Tidy সরানো হবে। [৮০][৮১] মিডিয়াউইকির নতুন সংস্করণ টেস্ট উইকি এবং MediaWiki.org সাইটে ২৭ ফেব্রুয়ারি থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। অ-উইকিপিডিয়া ও কিছু উইকিপিডিয়ায় এটি ২৮ ফেব্রুয়ারি থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। সকল উইকিতে এটি ১ মার্চ থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে (পঞ্জিকা)। সভা আপনি সম্পাদক দলের সঙ্গে পরবর্তী সভায় যোগ দিতে পারেন। সভাকালীন, আপনি যে সমস্যাটি সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বলে মনে করেন তা উন্নয়নকারীদেরকে জানাতে পারেন। সভাটি ২৭ ফেব্রুয়ারি

পরিবর্তনসমূহ আপনি সম্পাদনা সারাংশে ব্যবহারকারীদের অবহিত করতে পারবেন। তারা একটি উইকি পাতায় উল্লেখের মত একটি অবহিতি পাবেন। [৮৩] বিশেষ:অপব্যবহার লগে আপনি এখন শুধুমাত্র সেই কর্মগুলিও দেখতে পারবেন যা আসলে একটি সম্পাদনা উৎপন্ন করেছে। অন্যান্য কর্মগুলি হল যখন ছাঁকনি সম্পাদককে সতর্ক করে দেয় অথবা সম্পাদনা করা থেকে বিরত রাখে। সেখানে আরো অনুসন্ধান বিকল্প আছে। [৮৪][৮৫] উইকিসমূহ দৃশ্যমান সম্পাদনা এবং ২০১৭ উইকিপাঠ সম্পাদককে স্বয়ংক্রিয় তথ্যসূত্র সন্ধানের জন্য Citoid সক্ষম করতে পারবে, কিন্তু এটি জটিল। কনফিগারেশনটি সঠিক না হলে সরঞ্জামটি এখন জাভাস্ক্রিপ্ট কনসোলকে সতর্ক করবে। কনফিগারেশন সঠিক না হলে শীঘ্রই এটি Citoid নিষ্ক্রিয় করবে। আপনার উইকি সঠিকভাবে কনফিগার করা আছে তা পরীক্ষা করে দেখুন আপনি যদি এটির প্রয়োজন হয় তবে সাহায্যের জন্য জিজ্ঞাসা করুন করতে পারেন। [৮৬] মিডিয়াউইকির নতুন সংস্করণ টেস্ট উইকি

[৮৭] Page Previews has been updated to use HTML for previews. This has fixed many issues. An A/B test was done on English and German Wikipedia to measure how it is used. Other changes were also made. [৮৮] Some edits have to be checked against too many conditions before they can trigger an abuse filter. If that is the reason no filter is triggered the edit will be tagged for review. [৮৯] Auto-saving has been added to the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. Right now it is meant to help if your browser crashes or if you accidentally close a tab. [৯০] সমস্যা The abuse filter did not tag all edits that should have been tagged after last week's MediaWiki version had come to the wikis. It was fixed on 9 March (UTC). [৯১] চলতি সপ্তাহের পরিবর্তনসমূহ You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. This was originally planned to happen last week. [৯২] It is now possible to specify the block parameters for each filter in Special:AbuseFilter. The parameters include block duration and if the user should be blocked from editing their own talk page. The block duration is separate for anonymous and registered users. [৯৩][৯৪] A hundred Wikimedia wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 13 and 14 March. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Changes later this week Some of the interface icons and text sizes will change slightly, as part of the updates for improved accessibility and consistency. These icons are used in many features, including Notifications, Recent Changes, Beta Features, Visual Editor, 2017 Wikitext Editor, Code Editor, and others. While editor toolbars, dialogs, and menus will appear slightly bigger; elements on special pages will be slightly smaller. Functionality will not change. [১০১] [১০২] The deprecated #toc and #toctitle CSS ids have been removed. If your wiki was still using these for fake Tables of Content (ToC) then these might lose their styling. They can be replaced with .toc and .toctitle classes where appropriate. [১০৩] TemplateStyles will be deployed to the Wikivoyages on 28 March 2018. [১০৪] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 March. It will be on all wikis from 29 March (calendar). Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 27 March at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join. You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be one hour earlier than usual on 28 March at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join. Future changes From 9 April, the sort order of categories will be distorted for a short time. We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a maintenance script to update existing database entries. This will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on wiki size. Read more details. [১০৫] Changes are coming to search for Serbian projects. Cyrillic and Latin variants of a word and different grammatical forms of a word will be able to find each other. Read more on MediaWiki in Serbian or English.

It will show up as a puzzle-piece icon in the 2010 WikiEditor. You can click on the icon to insert a template. The Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey is to be sent to participants around the world this week. If you are volunteer developer, and have contributed code to any pieces of MediaWiki, gadgets, or tools, please take 20 to 40 minutes to complete the survey. সমস্যাসমূহ MediaWiki deployment train has been rolled back to version 1.31.0-wmf.26 on week 13, due to a multiplication of lost connections during MySQL queries. Some of the recent changes may have not been applied. They will be deployed next week. [১০৬][১০৭][১০৮] The Notifications badge icons were overlapping other links. This has been fixed. [১০৯] চলতি সপ্তাহের পরিবর্তনসমূহ মিডিয়াউইকির নতুন সংস্করণ টেস্ট উইকি এবং MediaWiki.org সাইটে ৩ এপ্রিল থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। অ-উইকিপিডিয়া ও কিছু উইকিপিডিয়ায় এটি ৪ এপ্রিল থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। সকল উইকিতে এটি ৫ এপ্রিল থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে (পঞ্জিকা)। User subpages ending in .json will now be protected from other people editing them, like .js and .css pages already are. If you have a tool that stores static configuration, you can now use a subpage like User:Example/mygadget.json to do this without concerns. [১১০] Tidy will be replaced by RemexHtml on the next set of wikis. On April 4, we plan to turn off Tidy on all Wikiquotes (except frwikiquote) and Wikimedia chapters and user groups wikis. 23 wikis will have Tidy replaced this time. [১১১][১১২][১১৩] AbuseFilter will transition to use OOUI starting April 4, and the rule editor will also be changed to a CodeEditor (ACE) similar to what is found on user JavaScript pages. The move to OOUI will continue over the next few weeks. [১১৪] [১১৫] In Special:Preferences, the preference "প্রতিবার একটি ছাঁকনি পরিবর্তন হওয়া মাত্রই স্বয়ংক্রিয়ভাবে নজরতালিকাটি পুনঃলোড করা হোক (জাভাস্ক্রিপ্ট প্রয়োজন)" is now only visible for users who have opt-out the New Filters for the Watchlist. [১১৬] You can see names of individual abuse filters in Special:AbuseLog. Now if the name of an abuse filter contains some wikisyntax like links, it will not change to a link when displayed. [১১৭] You can now search through filter patterns at Special:AbuseFilter. You may specify either a plain string or a regular expression and the matching filters will show a snippet of their pattern with the match highlighted. [১১৮] সভা আপনি সম্পাদক দলের সঙ্গে পরবর্তী সভায় যোগ দিতে পারেন। সভাকালীন, আপনি যে সমস্যাটি সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বলে মনে করেন তা উন্নয়নকারীদেরকে জানাতে পারেন। সভাটি ৩ এপ্রিল তারিখে ১৮:৩০ টায় (ইউটিসি) অনুষ্ঠিত হবে। জানুন কিভাবে যোগ দিতে হয়। আপনি আই আর সি তে প্রযুক্তি উপদেশ সভায় যোগ দিতে পারেন। সভাকালীন, স্বেচ্বাসেবক উন্নয়নকারীরা উপদেশ চাইতে পারেন। সভাটি ৪ এপ্রিল তারিখে ১5:০০ টায় (ইউটিসি) অনুষ্ঠিত হবে। জানুন কিভাবে যোগ দিতে হয়। ভবিষ্যতের পরিবর্তনসমূহ If you're using, creating or improving Lua modules, you can give your feedback to help harmonizing the modules across wikis and add more useful functions. On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with less than 50 entries in all high priority linter categories. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml by end of June 2018. Please follow T175706 to monitor progress of Tidy replacement.

There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [১২১] You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [১২২] The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [১২৩] Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [১২৪] Problems The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [১২৫] For a week in March rollbacks got both the rollback and the undo tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [১২৬] Changes later this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from ১০ এপ্রিল. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from ১১ এপ্রিল. It will be on all wikis from ১২ এপ্রিল (calendar). Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. [১২৭] Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Changes later this week Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [১২৮] Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (=== and !==) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [১২৯][১৩০] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 April. It will be on all wikis from 19 April (calendar). Meetings You can join the next meeting with the Editing team.

Future changes The new PDF renderer could not create PDFs from books. Books are in this case collections of pages on a Wikimedia wiki. PediaPress will take over development of the books-to-PDF function. [১৩১] Pywikibot will no longer support Python 2.7.2 and 2.7.3. [১৩২] Volunteer developers can fill out the Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey. The last day is April 22 (UTC). This is a third-party service survey. See the privacy statement.

Future changes <mapframe> will come to most Wikipedias in May. This means that you can put interactive maps in the articles. Nine Wikipedias that use a strict version of flagged revisions will not get this feature in May. [১৩৫] The rollback function could change. This was a German community request. All editors with rollback rights can leave feedback on the proposed solution. The last day to leave feedback is 4 May (UTC).

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes The parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [১৩৬] Problems We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [১৩৭] Changes later this week You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [১৩৮] When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [১৩৯] You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the সম্পাদনা section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [১৪০] There is a new abuse filter function called equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org. The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

Future changes The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jharewikimedia.org to leave private feedback. All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018.

It is now easier to find nearby places that need pictures. It helps you with direct uploads and title and category suggestions. The app only works on Android phones. [১৪৪] Problems The abuse filters had a problem with blocks where you had changed how long they last. It used the default length everywhere. This was in late April. Abuse filter users should make sure the right block length is used and change them if needed. This is only for filters where how long blocks last had been changed. [১৪৫] Changes later this week The advanced search function beta feature will be on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. [১৪৬] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 May.

Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes You can now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [১৫১][১৫২] It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [১৫৩] Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words. There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [১৫৪] Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [১৫৫] There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [১৫৬] Problems Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [১৫৭] Changes later this week There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [১৫৮] A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [১৫৯] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 May. It will be on all wikis from 31 May (calendar). Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it.

This allows other users to translate those articles. [১৬১] A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [১৬২] Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July.

It now looks different. [১৬৫] Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [১৬৬][১৬৭] Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [১৬৮] Problems You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them. MassMessage did not work 24–28 May. This is also why last week's Tech News was late. [১৬৯] Changes later this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 June.

This means that we get less security for everyone else too. This affects about 0.08% of all traffic to the Wikimedia wikis. This affects for example those who read Wikipedia on a PlayStation 3. [১৭৮][১৭৯] The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. Because there is no new MediaWiki version this week it will happen on 25 June for most wikis. For the rest it will happen in early July. [১৮০][১৮১] All wikis that have not already done so will switch to use the Remex parsing library on 5 July. This is to replace Tidy.

[২৩৭] Marking a cross-wiki notification as read didn't work every time. The other wiki was not updated. This has now been fixed. [২৩৮] <maplink> did not work for a few days. This was because of a bug. This has now been fixed. [২৩৯] {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} is used by some templates. For a period edits saved with {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} would save the previous user's name and not your username. This is now fixed.

Recent changes Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [২৭৫] Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [২৭৬] You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [২৭৭] When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text.

This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [২৮০][২৮১] When you hover over a footnote it will show you the reference as a pop-up. This is so you don't have to jump down to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will happen in 2019. Some wikis already have gadgets that do this. You will be able to turn it off.

[২৮৩][২৮৪] Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [২৮৫] The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy. Problems <ref> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <ref name="adams" group="books">. If a <ref> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored.

Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her. tiles.wmflabs.org and wma.wmflabs.org will stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes the mapnik gadget, hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going.

Recent changes RelatedSites extension has been undeployed. It was used to create interwiki links on Wikivoyage, now handled by Wikidata. [২৮৮] MediaWiki logstash logging is moving to a new infrastructure. This is an ongoing deployment. [২৮৯] codesearch.wmflabs.org has been updated, with new and updated repositories and a new search options for code. [২৯০] On several wikis, an account named "অপব্যবহার ছাঁকনি" has been created on December 17 to perform some technical maintenance on AbuseFilter. This account has sysop rights but it's a system user and no human can use it. The account already existed on wikis where AbuseFilter can perform blocks, which are issued using this account. See T212268 for more information and future plans. Problems In AbuseFilter, the "থ্রটল" action takes three parameters: count, period and groups. They must now strictly respect the requirements listed on mediawiki.org. A list of broken filters is on Phabricator. If you're familiar with AbuseFilter, please take a look and fix them. [২৯১] Changes later this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 8. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from January 9. It will be on all wikis from January 10 (calendar). Meetings Search Platform Office Hours is rescheduled to January 9. Check the details for time and date.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes You can now use Google Translate in the content translation tool. [২৯২][২৯৩] You can now add captions to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup. Earlier a quoted HTML attribute had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [২৯৪][২৯৫] Templates with could not show the difference between the live template and the sandbox version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. has a new wrapper parameter now. You can use it for selectors like .mw-parser-output <wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page>. [২৯৬] Problems When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have tags. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [২৯৭] Changes later this week You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new FileExporter. It will be a beta feature on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you activate it and check your wiki's configuration file. Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [২৯৮] The AbuseFilter variable minor_edit has been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on Special:AbuseFilter. The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 15 ১৭:৫৫, ১৪ জানুয়ারি ২০১৯ (ইউটিসি) Tech News: 2019-04 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 Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta. [২৯৯] Recent changes The content translation tool can now use version 2 as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature. For example it adds the tracking category অপর্যালোচিত অনুবাদসহ পাতা to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category in Special:TrackingCategories on Wikipedias. https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF, EPUB or ODT. Previously this was 200 pages. Problems When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [৩০০] MassMessage is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [৩০১][৩০২] Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [৩০৩] Changes later this week You will be able to use template styles in the Module namespace. [৩০৪] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (calendar). Meetings You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice.

They are going to use PHP7 and stop using HHVM. You can test PHP7 with a new beta feature. That way you can help find and report problems. Problems When someone moves a page to a name that already exists that page that had the name the article is moved to is deleted. For a couple of months this didn't always work.

The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication. We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices. We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives. We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help. We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups. You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do: First, sign up your group here. Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback. Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions: When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you? What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them? What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages? What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations? What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"? Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public. You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other. Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates. You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer. Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you. Trizek (WMF) ১৫:০৯, ২১ ফেব্রুয়ারি ২০১৯ (ইউটিসি) Tech News: 2019-09 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community.

Recent changes There is a new version of the iOS Wikipedia app. It has for example syntax highlighting and new toolbars to make it easier to write wikitext. It also has night mode, a find-on-page function and other things. You can give feedback and suggestions. [৩০৯] Changes later this week When you look at your watchlist or the recent changes page you can use the new filters for edit review. There you can choose tags to filter different edits. Empty tags will no longer be shown. [৩১০] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 February. It will be on all wikis from 28 February (calendar). Meetings You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes Pages can use geocoordinates from Wikidata with the mw.wikibase.entity:formatStatements Lua function or the #statements parser function. If they do, they will now be shown using a Kartographer <maplink> if the wiki can use Kartographer. You can report bugs or ask questions on Phabricator. There is now an EventStream to see when links are added or removed on Wikimedia wikis. You can read the discussions and plans. Problems Some wikis will not be able to edit for a short period of time on 19 March (UTC). This will start at 15:00 UTC. It will last up to 15 minutes but probably shorter. You can see the list of affected wikis. This is because of network maintenance. You can still read the wikis. Editors who use Firefox to edit with the visual editor had a problem with copying text. When they tried to select text that included footnotes, templates or block images in the middle they would often only get part of the text. This has now been fixed. [৩১৩] Some maps didn't work for a while on 8 March. This has been fixed. [৩১৪][৩১৫] Changes later this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March.

Changes later this week When you use rollback you will be able to get a confirmation prompt on most wikis. It asks you if you wanted to do the rollback. This is to avoid misclicks. You will have to opt in to get it. On German Wikipedia it will be an opt-out feature from 28 March. [৩১৬][৩১৭] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 March.

If your wiki wants to be an early tester of this, you can tell the developers. [৩১৮] Toolforge will shut down the Ubuntu Trusty job grid. This will happen the week of 25 March. Tools that use this grid needs to be moved to the new Debian Stretch job grid. If they haven't, they will be taken offline. Maintainers can restart the tools later. Users may not be able to use them in the meanwhile. You can see a list of affected tools.

Recent changes The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [৩১৯] Problems There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [৩২০] The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [৩২১] Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [৩২২] Changes later this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 March.

You can read more. Admins on French and Polish Wikipedia can block someone from editing a page or a namespace. If your wiki wants to get these blocks before they are available to all wikis, you can tell the developers. [৩২৪][৩২৫] Problems You will be able read but not edit most wikis for 30 minutes on 11 April at 05:00 (UTC). This is because of a hardware problem. You can see a list of the affected wikis. [৩২৬] A map update caused some problems on 29 March and 30 March. It was rolled back. [৩২৭] Pages on some Wikivoyages had problems with the top headline. This has been fixed. [৩২৮] Changes later this week When you add an edit summary the VisualEditor will search your recent edit summaries in case you want to re-use one. This works in both the visual and wikitext modes on desktop. It also works on the mobile site. [৩২৯] The Wikimedia wikis will get a URL shortener. This will work from 11 April. You can read more. [৩৩০] The {{REVISIONID}} magic word will no longer work. This is for performance reasons. When you preview a page it will return "" (empty string). When you read a page it will return "-" (dash). For now this will only affect content namespaces. [৩৩১] The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April.

This means that when you hover over the link you will get a popup that shows you a preview of the reference. It will work much like page previews. This is so you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will now be available as a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia. [৩৩২][৩৩৩] The Wikidata JSON output will change. Empty containers will be serialised as empty objects. This is a breaking change that will affect tools that use JSON outputs and APIs. It will happen on 30 April. You can read more and see how to test your code.

[৩৫৯] Some tools on Toolforge may break on or after 3 June because of database changes. Maintainers should update their tools to use the new schema. [৩৬০][৩৬১] Problems You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for 30 minutes on 19 June at 05:00 (UTC). This is to fix a hardware problem. [৩৬২] Changes later this week Some wikis have one tab for the visual editor and one tab for a wikitext editor. Others wikis just have one tab.

[৩৬৪][৩৬৫] The Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standard OOUI icons. There will be additional minor fixes for positioning in the next deployment. [৩৬৬] Bots and other scripts that do not set an identifiable User-Agent may find their requests strictly rate-limited until they identify themselves properly.

Variables defined inside a branch may not work outside of that branch. You can read more to see how to fix the filters. Only six accounts can be created from one IP address per day.

This is to edit labels, descriptions and aliases easier on the mobile pages. [৪০২] 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. [৪০৩] The limit for rollbacks has been increased from 10 to 100 rollbacks per minute. [৪০৪] 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".

But it will include changes happening on Project talk: or the Wikipedia talk:. [৪০৫] Changes later this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from ৩ সেপ্টেম্বর.
