2025年第26期技術新聞
编辑維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改;不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。
本週要聞
- 本週,內容維護工具團隊和機器學習團隊將繼續推出近期變更的新篩選器,將其部署至最後一批維基百科。該篩選器利用研究團隊所建立的「回退風險模型」(Revert Risk model),醒目標示可能會被回退的編輯,協助近期變更巡查員識別可能有問題的貢獻。該功能將在以下維基百科推出:阿塞拜疆语维基百科、拉丁语维基百科、马其顿语维基百科、马拉雅拉姆语维基百科、马拉地语维基百科、新挪威语维基百科、旁遮普语维基百科、斯瓦希里语维基百科、泰卢固语维基百科、他加禄语维基百科。未來幾週內,該功能將繼續在本專案涵蓋的其餘維基百科推出。 [1]
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 上週,臨時帳號已部署至捷克語、韓語和土耳其語維基百科。本週下週,將繼續部署至其他大型維基百科。您可以在討論頁分享您對此專案的想法。 [2]
- Later this week, the Editing team will release Multi Check to all Wikipedias (except English Wikipedia). This feature shows multiple Reference checks within the editing experience. This encourages users to add citations when they add multiple new paragraphs to a Wikipedia article. This feature was previously available as an A/B test. The test shows that users who are shown multiple checks are 1.3 times more likely to add a reference to their edit, and their edit is less likely to be reverted (-34.7%). [3]
- 由於軟體更新以及為了符合最新的Unicode標準,有幾個頁面需要重新命名。所有這些變更都與標題大小寫變更有關。橫跨15個維基站點,大約有71個頁面和3個檔案將被重新命名;參見Phab工單中的完整清單。開發人員將於下週重新命名這些頁面,並在幾分鐘後透過系統設定更新來修復重新導向和嵌入檔案連結。
- 上週有24件社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如,先前使用者選取靠近頂端的文字時,一個錯誤會導致頁面向上捲動,此問題現已修正。 [4]
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- Editors can now use Lua modules to filter and transform tabular data for use with Extension:Chart. This can be used for things like selecting a subset of rows or columns from the source data, converting between units, statistical processing, and many other useful transformations. Information on how to use transforms is available. [5]
- 防濫用過濾器的
all_links
變數已更名為new_links
,以遵循一致的命名原則。舊名仍可作為別名正常運作。 [6] - 本週軟體更新細節: MediaWiki
深入了解
- 季刊Growth電子報新期數發布。 It includes: the recent updates for the "Add a Link" Task, two new Newcomer Engagement Features, and updates to Community Configuration.

临时账号功能现已推出
编辑维基媒体计划允许任何人进行编辑,无论是否建立账号。在过去,未登入贡献者的编辑会被归属至其IP地址下。由于IP地址包含敏感资讯,可能会威胁到透过该地址连接的用户的隐私和安全,为了减轻用户隐私泄露的风险,维基媒体基金会决定引入临时账号。只有部分有反破坏管理需求的用户可以访问临时账号IP地址数据(即临时账号IP查看者、管理员等)。
临时账号的名称形如~2025-1234567
(由英文半形波浪号、当前年份、一个自动生成的5-7位数字构成),用户不能选择或变更其临时账号的名称。临时账号会为未登入的编者自动建立,有效期为90天,其不能登入,也没有密码。自建立日期起经过90天之后,该临时账号将自动过期,无法继续使用和接收讨论页信息,后续编辑会分配给新的临时账号。临时账号通过浏览器的Cookie,将同一装置和浏览器在不同IP地址下进行的编辑归属于同一临时账号,与临时账号相关联的IP地址将被隐藏。
如果您符合“临时账号IP查看者”的资格要求,包括:已加入至少6个月,于反破坏中活跃,并且已有至少500次编辑;或是现任巡查员、回退员、傀儡调查助理、过滤器助理、过滤器编辑者。您可前往Wikipedia:权限申请/申请临时账号IP查看权提出请求。
如有任何疑问或意见,您可在此讨论提出。您亦可查看由基金会撰写的常见问题解答(英文版)以了解更多有关临时账号的功能。MediaWiki message delivery(留言) 2025年6月30日 (一) 01:39 (UTC)

Did you know?
- Query examples:
- Top album languages found on Wikidata right now source
- The names of the characters from Asterix & Obélix, in French, English, German, Latin and some other languages (source)
- Map the global distribution of periodicals in publication languages from the Eastern Mediterranean (Arabic, Ottoman, Greek, Ladino, Coptic etc) (source)

- Showcase Lexemes: reference (L5785) - English noun/verb (ˈɹɛf.ɹəns) meaning "source citation", "supporting document", or "relationship"
Development
- Wikibase REST API: We started work on the simple Property prefix search phab:(T397838)
- Mobile statement editing: We continued the work on the basics with viewing of statements (phab:T394886])
- Search: Fixed a bug when pasting into the search box (phab:T397608)
- Integration in Wikipedia and co:
- We began research into current limits for collapsing entity usage. (Basically when an article uses more data from an Item than the configured limit then we consider all data on that Item to be used. This is done for infrastructure reasons.) We’d like to improve this to further reduce unnecessary Wikidata changes showing up on watchlist and recent changes on Wikipedia and co.
- We will roll out showing labels instead of IDs in Wikidata edits in watchlist and recent changes to more wikis later this week.
You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.
Weekly Tasks
- Add labels, in your own language(s), for the new properties listed above.

- Help translate or proofread the interface and documentation pages, in your own language!
