Recent changes
- Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions on the project talkpage. [1]
- The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode. [2]
Problems
- You can copy permanent links to talk page comments by clicking on a comment's timestamp. This feature did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug. [3]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 June. It will be on all wikis from 27 June (calendar). [4][5]
- Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this feature on Diff or on Mediawiki.org. [6]

Recent changes
- Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update. [7]
- Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [8]
- If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [9][10]
- Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [11]
- Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Mandailing (
w:btm:) [12]
Problems
- Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team. [13]
Future changes
- Please help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 2 weeks. The survey is covered by this privacy statement. Some translations are available.

Recent changes
- At the Wikimedia Foundation a new task force was formed to replace the disabled Graph with more secure, easy to use, and extensible Chart. You can subscribe to the newsletter to get notified about new project updates and other news about Chart.
- The CampaignEvents extension is now available on Meta-wiki, Igbo Wikipedia, and Swahili Wikipedia, and can be requested on your wiki. This extension helps in managing and making events more visible, giving Event organizers the ability to use tools like the Event registration tool. To learn more about the deployment status and how to request this extension for your wiki, visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-wiki.
- Editors using the iOS Wikipedia app who have more than 50 edits can now use the Add an Image feature. This feature presents opportunities for small but useful contributions to Wikipedia.
- Thank you to all of the authors who have contributed to MediaWiki Core. As a result of these contributions, the percentage of authors contributing more than 5 patches has increased by 25% since last year, which helps ensure the sustainability of the platform for the Wikimedia projects.
Problems
- A problem with the color of the talkpage tabs always showing as blue, even for non-existent pages which should have been red, affecting the Vector 2022 skin, has been fixed.
Future changes
- The Trust and Safety Product team wants to introduce temporary accounts with as little disruption to tools and workflows as possible. Volunteer developers, including gadget and user-script maintainers, are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. The team has created documentation explaining how to do the update. Learn more.

De donkere modus voor niet ingelogde gebruikers komt binnenkort!
[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
Dag allemaal, het afgelopen jaar heeft het Webteam van de Wikimedia Foundation gewerkt aan de donkere modus (dark mode). Dit is een onderdeel van de activiteiten om de leestoegankelijkheid te verbeteren. Er worden met dit initiatief wijzigingen aangebracht aan de Vector 2022 en aan de Minerva skins. Met "skin" wordt de vormgeving bedoeld die een lezer op het beeldscherm ziet. Dit verbetert de leesbaarheid en zorgt ervoor dat iedereen, zowel ingelogde als niet ingelogde gebruikers de leesbaarheid in kunnen stellen volgens hun eigen voorkeur.
Sinds begin dit jaar is de donkere modus beschikbaar als bètafunctie op zowel de mobiele als de desktop versies van de website. We hebben samengewerkt met de bewerkers van sjablonen en andere mensen die met technische aspecten bezig zijn om de wiki's voor te bereiden op deze verandering. Sjablonen moesten worden aangepast om ervoor te zorgen dat de vele pagina's waar deze op gebruikt worden in de donkere modus goed leesbaar zouden blijven. We willen onze grote dank uitspreken aan iedereen die hierbij betrokken is geweest. Omdat zoveel werk is verricht, kunnen we "volgende week" deze functie op alle Wikipedia's invoeren!
Implementatie en tijdlijn
- Wikipedia's van groep 1 en 2: wiki's waar het aantal problemen in de donkere modus vergeleken met de lichte achtergrond niet significant is. Voor deze wiki's zal de donkere modus zowel voor ingelogde als niet ingelogde gebruikers worden ingevoerd. Enkele kleine problemen met sjablonen kunnen echter nog wel optreden. We zullen het mogelijk maken om deze problemen te melden, zodat we deze kunnen oplossen samen met de bewerkers.
- Wikipedia's van groep 3: wiki's waar een significant aantal problemen met de donkere modus wordt verwacht vergeleken met de lichte achtergrond. In deze wiki's zal de donkere modus alleen worden ingevoerd voor ingelogde gebruikers. We willen de donkere modus graag voor alle gebruikers beschikbaar maken. Voor sommige wiki's is het nog nodig dat de gemeenschap de sjablonen aanpast. Net zoals bij groep 1 en 2 komt er bij deze wiki's een mogelijkheid om problemen te melden. Dat zal helpen de resterende problemen te identificeren.
Tijdlijn:
- Week van 1 juli: mobiele website (Minerva skin) van de groep 1 Wikipedia's.
- Week van 15 juli: desktop website (Vector 2022 skin) van alle Wikipedia's; mobiele website: ingelogde en niet ingelogde gebruikers van de groep 2 Wikipedia's, ingelogde gebruikers van de groep 3 Wikipedia's.
Hoe kan de donkere modus worden aangezet?
De functie zal verschijnen in het menu "uiterlijk" naast de opties voor tekst en paginabreedte. Sommige pagina's zullen mogelijk niet beschikbaar zijn in de donkere modus. Dat is afhankelijk van de geschiktheid en technische architectuur. Voor deze pagina's verschijnt een melding in het menu met meer informatie.
Hoe kan de donkere modus nog beter worden?
Als je wilt meehelpen om meer pagina's geschikt te maken voor de donkere modus, ga dan naar ons vorige bericht en lees de paragraaf "What we would like you to do (template editors, interface admins, technical editors)".
Dank jullie wel allemaal. We zien uit naar jullie vragen, meningen en reacties! (Translated by Ellywa) SGrabarczuk (WMF) (overleg) 12 jul 2024 02:26 (CEST)

Recent changes
Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both Gerrit and GitLab, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the Migration status page.
- The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
- Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
- Editors who have access to The Wikipedia Library can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation contacted them to restore access. You can read more about this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week.
Changes later this week
- This week, dark mode will be available on a number of Wikipedias, both desktop and mobile, for logged-in and logged-out users. Interface admins and user script maintainers are encouraged to check gadgets and user scripts in the dark mode, to find any hard-coded colors and fix them. There are some recommendations for dark mode compatibility to help.
Future changes
- Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.

[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature News
- Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
- Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and Minerva skin was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to Codex by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [15]
- Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via GlobalVanishRequest. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [16]
- Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone.
- Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the Commons Impact Metrics analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [17]
Project Updates
- Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened Community Wishlist. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.

- Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on Diff.
- How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent blog post by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the WMF Future Audience initiative, where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a ChatGPT plugin and Add a Fact, to help take Wikimedia into the future.

Feature news
- Editors using the Visual Editor in languages that use non-Latin characters for numbers, such as Hindi, Manipuri and Eastern Arabic, may notice some changes in the formatting of reference numbers. This is a side effect of preparing a new sub-referencing feature, and will also allow fixing some general numbering issues in Visual Editor. If you notice any related problems on your wiki, please share details at the project talkpage.
Bugs status
- Some logged-in editors were briefly unable to edit or load pages last week. These errors were mainly due to the addition of new linter rules which led to caching problems. Fixes have been applied and investigations are continuing.
- Editors can use the IP Information tool to get information about IP addresses. This tool is available as a Beta Feature in your preferences. The tool was not available for a few days last week, but is now working again. Thank you to Shizhao for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
- There are new features and improvements to Phabricator from the Release Engineering and Collaboration Services teams, and some volunteers, including: the search systems, the new task creation system, the login systems, the translation setup which has resulted in support for more languages (thanks to Pppery), and fixes for many edge-case errors. You can read details about these and other improvements in this summary.
- There is an update on the Charts project. The team has decided which visualization library to use, which chart types to start focusing on, and where to store chart definitions.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikivoyage in Czech (
voy:cs:) [18]

Editors at any wiki that use these templates, can help by replacing the templates with these new functions. The templates at Commons will be updated during the Hackathon at Wikimania. [19][20]- Communities can request the activation of the visual editor on entire namespaces where discussions sometimes happen (for instance Wikipedia: or Wikisource: namespaces) if they understand the known limitations. For discussions, users can already use DiscussionTools in these namespaces.
- The tracking category "Pages using Timeline" has been renamed to "Pages using the EasyTimeline extension" in TranslateWiki. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.
Project updates
- Editors who help to organize WikiProjects and similar on-wiki collaborations, are invited to share ideas and examples of successful collaborations with the Campaigns and Programs teams. You can fill out a brief survey or share your thoughts on the talkpage. The teams are particularly looking for details about successful collaborations on non-English wikis.

- Door die in te vullen bij de parameter AFBEELDING (zoals ik nu gedaan heb) Mbch331 (overleg) 16 aug 2024 22:43 (CEST)
- Voor zoiets is de VE handig: daarin kun je zoeken op parameternamen en ik vond AFBEELDING, in hoofdletters →bertux 16 aug 2024 22:43 (CEST)
- Waarom zijn die parameters trouwens in hoofletters? Ik dacht dat we gestandaardiseerd hadden op onderkast →bertux 16 aug 2024 22:44 (CEST)
- Omdat het een stokoud sjabloon is. Het wordt veel heel veel gebruikt maar het is zeer complex. Het is heel makkelijk daar iets stuk te maken, waarvan het niet helder is hoe je het repareert. If it ain't broken, don't fix it, en kapitalisatie in het onderwaterscherm lijkt me niet hoog in het prioriteitenlijstje staan. Milliped (overleg) 16 aug 2024 22:48 (CEST)
- Dit is ook geen normale infobox. Het is een combinatie van sjablonen die tot een opmaak leidt die op die van ene infobox lijkt.
- Inmiddels heb ik voor SP-Data templatedata toegevoegd, waardoor die makkelijker samenwerkt met VE. Mbch331 (overleg) 16 aug 2024 22:49 (CEST)
