Tech News: 2020-40

維基媒體技術社群現發出最新技術新聞。請告知其他用戶以下變更。當然，未必所有變更都會影響閣下。有提供其他語言的翻譯版本。

最近更改

• 管理員現在可以在Special:過濾器日誌上看到連到已刪修訂版本的差異連結，這使用了Special:恢復被刪頁面的介面。 [4]
• 編輯者會自動被加入某些使用者群組，例如編輯者會在編輯足夠數量和時間後被加入到自動確認的使用者群組。防濫用過濾器可以防止使用者在一段時間內被自動授予某些使用者權限，也可以移除某些使用者所擁有的權限。現在可以在Phabricator要求修改在他們維基上的這個期限，目前該期限為5天。 [5]

問題

• 在去年一些防濫用過濾器由於一個更新而停止運作，過濾器嘗試使用對於某些操作不存在的變數而失效，這已經被修復。 [6]

本週後期變更

• MediaWiki新版本將於9月29日部署至測試維基及MediaWiki.org，9月30日部署至非維基百科站點及部分維基百科，10月1日部署至所有站點，參見日曆。

未來更新

• 您無法在討論頁或歷史頁面看到連到其他語言版本的跨語言連結，當編輯一個條目時跨語言連結也不會顯示，這將會被改變，我們還沒決定對於歷史頁面，是應該連到另一個歷史頁面還是條目本身，您可以在Phabricator上參與討論。
• 連結的顏色可能將會改變，這是為了讓連結和其他文字的區別更加清楚，您可以在Phabricator上了解詳情。
• 在您的偏好設定中，您可以選擇在網頁版和電子郵件收到不同的通知，在本週稍晚您將能看到額外的Apps選項，Android和iOS維基百科應用程式將對想要推送通知的進行通知。您可以在測試維基上看到這個偏好設定。目標是在10月在Android上推送通知，iOS則為2021年初。 [7]
• 您將很快能指定頁面放在監視清單裏的時間，如果您想要短期內關注某些東西而非永久關注，這將很有用。這目前在mediawiki.org上可用，且將在稍晚時在更多維基上提供這功能。您可以了解詳情並查看在其他維基上提供該功能的時間。
• 您可以看看有哪些工具是維基人認為的今年最佳技術工具，您也可以提名其他工具。

本週後期變更

• MediaWiki新版本將於10月20日部署至測試維基及MediaWiki.org，及於10月21日部署至非維基百科站點及部分維基百科，並於10月22日部署至所有站點，參見日曆。

未來更新

• 防濫用過濾器的 rmspecials() 函式將會更新及它將不會移除空白字元。故此，建議各維基項目將 rmwhitespace() 與 rmspecials() 函式一起使用，以確保過濾器能正常運作。而您可以透過防濫用過濾器上的搜尋功能來尋找哪過濾器正使用相關函式。 [20]
• 一些小工具和使用者腳本正使用HTML元素 #jump-to-nav，而這元素將會被移除。開發者應將這改為 #siteSub 或 #mw-content-text 。受影響之小工具和使用者腳本可見於此頁。

維基媒體技術社群發出最新技術新聞。請告知其他用戶以下變更。當然，未必所有變更都會影響閣下。有提供其他語言的翻譯版本。

問題

• 在10月27日 14:00 (UTC)左右的至多1小時內您將只能閱讀而不能編輯維基，這可能會短於1小時。 [21]
• 上星期時，手機版的監視清單和最近更改之修訂版本「差異」按鈕會錯誤連結至特定版本修訂頁面，而非編輯差異。而這問題現已被修復。 [22]

本週後期變更

• 本週沒有MediaWiki的新版本。

未來更新

• 自從在2018年設立介面管理員權限後，管理員就不能查看CSS和JS頁面的已刪修訂版本。而他們在未來將能重新查看之。 [23]
• 如果對頁面的操作（例如是保護）是在回退及被回退編輯之間，且是立即出現於被回退編輯之後，將會被錯誤標記「已被回退」標籤。而這問題現已不會在新操作中出現。 [24]
• 回覆工具將會成為大多數的維基百科之測試功能。 [25]

Tech News: 2020-45

維基媒體技術社群發出最新技術新聞。請告知其他用戶以下變更。當然，未必所有變更都會影響閣下。有提供其他語言的翻譯版本。

最近更改

• 您不能夠透過使用舊版本的TLS之瀏覽器來瀏覽維基媒體的網站。這是基於安全上的考慮及舊版本的TLS可能會造成降級攻擊的出現。自2020年10月29日起，使用舊版TLS之用戶不能正常連上及使用維基媒體的網站。建議使用之瀏覽器列表可見於此。而現時主流的作業系統及瀏覽器應能正常連上及使用之。 [26]
• 現推出了新的追蹤分類「帶有非數字formatnum參數的頁面」。此分類能夠取得使用 {{formatnum}} 解析器函數而無效（非數字）輸入之頁面，例如是 {{formatnum:TECHNEWS}}。請注意，根據說明文件，參數應是未格式化的，才可得到正確和可信的輸出，故 {{formatnum:123,456}} 也是無效輸入。此分類將能有助辨別錯誤的解析器函數用法和雙重格式化之問題。此分類之名稱可在Translatewiki內翻譯。 [27]

本週後期變更

• MediaWiki新版本將於11月3日部署至測試維基及MediaWiki.org，11月4日部署至非維基百科站點及部分維基百科，11月5日部署至所有站點，參見日曆。
• 管理員和監管員將能使用特殊頁面（Special:CreateLocalAccount）來強制為全域帳號創建本地的帳號。這在該帳號被阻止創建（例如是過濾器或封禁）時很有幫助。 [28]
• 回覆工具將會於11月3日（星期三）成為大多數維基百科的測試功能。此次更新因特殊情況而排除了英語、俄語及德語及少數小規模的維基百科。您可以閱讀幫助頁面及故障排除指南來取得更多資訊。 [29]

未來更新

• 有關當於 {{formatnum}} 解析器函數之參數提供負數時，在輸出使用Unicode減號 （− U+2212）之討論已被重開。 [30]
• 於未來未注冊用戶的IP位址將不會向所有人顯示，而ip地址將會由別稱取代，並且會有一個用戶權限或功能來為反破壞者查看ip地址，權限或功能需達到一些標準後才能使用。另外也會有其他新工具來幫助反破壞。相關計劃仍在早期階段，以及開發者會在提出新方案前繼續從社群中收集意見。

維基媒體技術社群發出最新技術新聞。請告知其他用戶以下變更。當然，未必所有變更都會影響閣下。有提供其他語言的翻譯版本。

本週後期變更

• 本週沒有MediaWiki的新版本。

未來更新

• 現時參考預覽為測試功能，未來將會脫離測試 並成為預設啟用的功能，而各維基項目可選擇是否要預設啟用。開發人員現時正考慮首先為小規模或中規模維基項目進行配置。如果您所屬的維基項目對此感興趣，您可以在此留言以讓他們知道。 [31]
• 自11月16日起，在頁面底端顯示之分類將暫時不會依順序顯示，這是因為開發者正對Unicode國際化元件進行版本更新，而更新後他們會使用腳本來修正相關問題。這將視維基項目規模大小來決定所需的時間（由數小時至數天不等）。您可以於此了解詳情。 [32][33]

維基媒體技術社群發出最新技術新聞。請告知其他用戶以下變更。當然，未必所有變更都會影響閣下。有提供其他語言的翻譯版本。

近期變更

• 在各個維基上，分類上頁面是根據語言由函式庫排序。在11月16日的一段時間內，對分類的變更將在大多數語言上無法正確地排序，這是因為開發人員在更新該函式庫到新版本，他們將會使用腳本來修復現存的分類，根據維基的大小，這將花費數小時到數天不等的時間。您可以了解詳情。 [34][35]

本週後期變更

• 如果您在無法進行重新導向的命名空間中合併兩個頁面將會破壞合併歷史，這即將被修復。 [36]
• MediaWiki新版本將於11月17日部署至測試維基及MediaWiki.org，11月18日部署至非維基百科站點及部分維基百科，11月19日部署至所有站點，參見日曆。

未來更新

• 社群願望清單調查已經開始接受提案。此次調查將決定社群技術團隊未來的工作方向。您可以在11月16日至30日之間發佈提案，並於12月8日至21日之間票選提案。

Tech News: 2020-52

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]

Tech News: 2021-02

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 to watch 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).
