Discussions

• New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia.

Wikidata weekly summary #626

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2024-05-06.
Translations are available.

Discussions

• Reminder: the period for feedback on the Wikidata Query Service graph split ruleset closes on 15-May-2024. More information here!

Events

• The Wikimedia Hackathon 2024 took place in Tallinn, Estonia. Wikimedians from all over came together to hack on a huge variety of topics, including Wikidata and Wikibase topics. See the entire Program
• International Museum Day 2024 on Wikimedia: Take part in the translation, media, and data challenges!
• Registration for Wiki Workshop 2024 is now open! The event will be virtually held on *June 20, 12:00-18:30 UTC
• Coordinate Me 2024 is an international Wikidata competition taking place over the month of May. This year, the focus is on enriching or creating Wikidata items with the Property: Coordinate Location (P625). To participate, enroll on the dashboard to ensure your edits are tracked.

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

• Papers: MisgenderMender - A community-informed approach to interventions of misgendering.
• Videos
  • Intro to Wikidata Query Service - hosted by User:Gnoeee, this comprehensive video will equip newcomers to Wikidata with the skills to effectively start querying Wikidata.
  • Siobhan Leachman, NZ Citizen Scientist and Wikipedian - CitSciOz23 Keynote Speaker, this prolific editor discusses her passions and workflows for contributing and enriching Wikidata on topics as diverse as women scientists, scientific illustrators, artworks and citation data, moths and more.
  • WikiSearch from Wikibase Data - Wout Geveart shows how the WikiSearch extension is using Wikibase data to explore and visualise the data in new ways.

Tool of the week

• Wikidata periodic table - Tool by User:Ricordisamoa, to browse all chemical elements available on Wikidata, with atomic number, chemical symbol, and localized label. It also includes two charts of the nuclides, with links to every isotope in Wikidata, colored by half-life or decay mode.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool. Some experience with editing Wikidata is appreciated, but no experience working with Schemas is required. If you are interested, you can sign up here. We hope to begin interviews around May 13.

2024年第20期技術新聞

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。

最近更改

• 維基文庫有一個特殊頁面，會列出沒有掃描件的作品頁面列表。現在您可以使用新的魔術字__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__使該列表排除特定頁面（例如，作品的版本列表或譯文）。 [111]
• 現在，如果您在用户参数设置啟用「显示预览时不重新加载页面」，模板頁面功能「预览使用本模板的页面」也無需重新加载頁面。 [112]
• Kartographer地圖現在可以通过alt=屬性指定替代文本。其用法與图像和圖庫語法中的alt=屬性相同。此功能的例外是維基導遊等維基站點，這些站點的微型地圖是交互式的。 [113]
• 「新的編輯審核過濾器」功能的舊導覽已被移除。該導覽创建於2017年，旨在向擁有舊帳號的用户展示界面的變化，現在大多數目標用户已得知這一點。 [114]

本週更改

• MediaWiki的新版本將於5月14日部署至測試維基及MediaWiki.org，於5月15日部署至非維基百科wiki及部分維基百科，並於5月16日部署至所有站點（參見日程表）。 [115][116]
• Special:搜索結果頁面現在使用CSS flex屬性而非表格，以進一步落實無障礙。如果您有用於調整搜索結果的小工具或腳本，請更新該腳本以處理新的HTML結構。 [117]

未來更改

• 在Vector 2022皮肤中，主命名空間頁面將會以全屏寬度顯示（如同特殊頁面）。此舉的目標是確保每行容納的字符數足夠多。這與即將發生的Vector 2022排版設計更改有關。了解更多。 [118]
• pagelinks数据库表的兩個欄位（pl_namespace和pl_title）即將被刪除。使用者必須改用linktarget表格的兩個欄位（lt_namespace和lt_title）。在現有的SQL查詢中：
  1. 將ON语句中的JOIN pagelinks替換為JOIN linktarget，將pl_替換為lt_
  2. 在其下方添加JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
  • 參見phab:T222224以了解技術原因。 [119][120]

2024年第29期技術新聞

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。

技術新聞調查

• 邀請您填寫這份簡短問卷調查，協助我們改善技術新聞。本次調查旨在更有效地滿足閱讀技術新聞的各類讀者的需求。本次調查還會開放3天。本次調查適用這份隱私聲明。本次調查提供其他語言的翻譯版本。

最近更改

• 維基媒體開發者現在可以正式繼續使用Gerrit和GitLab，基於維基媒體基金會於6月24日決定支持在這兩個平台共同進行軟體開發。Gerrit和GitLab皆是開發者用來編寫、審查和部署軟體代碼的代碼儲存庫，而這些代碼支撐著MediaWiki——用於建構維基專案，也是編輯者用於創建和改進內容的工具。這項決定將保障開發者們的生產力，並避免code review——代碼審查方面的問題影響用户。更多詳情請見遷移狀態頁面。
• 維基媒體基金會誠徵產品與技術諮詢委員會（PTAC）申請人。該小組將匯集技術貢獻者與維基媒體基金會，共同開發一個更具彈性、與時俱進的技術平台。委員會成員將對維基媒體運動的產品與技術活動進行評估與諮詢，以便我們開發多代的项目。我們正在尋找來自世界各地具有不同项目經驗的技術貢獻者。請於8月10日前在此申請。
• 持有回退權的編輯者可以在Android版維基百科App使用新的編輯巡查功能。這些功能包括最近更改的新動態、撤销和回退等相關链接，以及创建和保存個人的用户討論消息庫以供巡查時使用。如果您所在的wiki希望向沒有回退權但編輯次數達到一定門檻的用户提供這些功能，您可以聯絡團隊。更多關於此项目，請參閱Diff文章。
• 在基金會進行聯絡溝通後，有權访问維基百科圖書館的編輯者再度能使用SpringerLinks中的非開放访问內容。延伸閱讀上週完成的22個社群提交工單。

本週更改

• 本週，深色模式將供多個維基百科使用，無論桌面版或移动版，用户登录或未登录。敬請介面管理員和用户腳本維護人員在深色模式下檢查小工具和用户腳本，查找任何寫死的顏色並修復它們。有一些深色模式兼容性建議可供參考。

未來更改

• 下週，邀請工作人員、志願工具維護者和軟體開發團隊在測試維基上測試臨時帳號功能。臨時帳號功能有助於改善wiki上的隱私保護。目前未有其他進一步的部署安排。歡迎在项目討論頁發表意見和提出疑問。 [164]
• 邀請跨維基上傳文件或教導他人如此操作的編輯者，參與維基共享資源上的討論。共享資源社群正在討論將能夠通过跨維基上傳功能（或稱上傳對話框）上傳文件的用户，限縮為維基共享資源上的自动确认用户。這是因為通过這種方式上傳的文件大量侵犯了著作權。Commons:跨維基上傳有簡短摘要，討論位於Commons:互助客棧。

2024年第30期技術新聞

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。

功能週報

• 監管員現在可以對帳號實施全域封禁。在此更改之前，全域封禁僅能針對IP位址和IP範圍實施。不同於全域鎖定，全域帳號封禁不會將被封禁的用户登出。全域鎖定不受此更改影響。新的全域帳號封禁功能與臨時帳號项目有關，這種新型態的用户帳號用於取代未註冊編輯者的IP位址，使其不再公開可見。
• 本週稍晚，FlaggedRevs（標記修訂，又稱「待定更改」）的介面將得到改進，與MediaWiki的其他介面及維基媒體設計系統Codex保持一致。行動裝置和Minerva皮肤上的FlaggedRevs介面體驗原本與他處不一致，後經由Growth團隊和一些志願者修復並移植到Codex。 [165]
• 維基媒體網站用户現在可以通过GlobalVanishRequest提交帳號隱退請求。當貢獻者希望永遠停止編輯時，可以使用此功能。它可以幫您隱藏過去的關聯和編輯，以保護您的隱私。一旦處理完成，該帳號將被鎖定並重新命名。 [166]
• 您試過使用手機監控和應對維基百科中的破壞行為嗎？一篇關於行動應用程式中的巡查功能的Diff文章重點介紹了一些新功能，包括滑動瀏覽最近更改動態以及個人化的用户討論消息庫，供使用手機巡查時使用。
• 維基媒體貢獻者和GLAM機構（美術館、圖書館、檔案館及博物館）現在可以使用「共享資源影響力指標」分析面板，了解與衡量維基共享資源對於創建高品質百科全書內容的影響。該面板提供諸如分類每月編輯數、瀏覽量最高的文件、使用共享資源圖片的維基條目等方面的分析。有了這些新的數據轉儲，GLAM機構可以更精準衡量將內容引入數位共享資源的投資回報率。 [167]

项目近況

• 快來在嶄新重啟的社群願望清單分享您對改善維基的想法。社群願望清單是供志願者分享他們改善維基運作方式的想法（稱為願望）的維基媒體論壇。新版願望清單始終開放，wikitext和可视化编辑器皆可使用，並允許以任何語言提交願望。

增廣見聞

• 你有沒有想過維基媒體軟體如何支持300多種語言？這比Google Chrome的介面多了253種語言，而這絕非偶然。維基媒體基金會的語言與產品在地化團隊通过調整所有工具和介面，使其適應您的語言和其他語言，為您提供支持。閱讀Diff文章了解更多關於該團隊及其即將開展的工作。
• 維基媒體如何在維護如此頻繁使用的網站之時，同時建構創新和實驗性的產品？維基媒體基金會職員Johan Jönsson近期發表的一篇Diff文章，重點介紹了基金會的「未來受眾」計畫的工作，其目標不是建構完善的產品，而是測試新的想法，例如ChatGPT插件和「加入事實」等，幫助維基媒體走向未來。

Growth News, July 2024

Community Configuration

The Growth team released Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at Special:CommunityConfiguration.

This new special page replaces Special:EditGrowthConfig. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for AutoModerator (T365046) and other features will be available in the future.

You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation.

If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future!

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

Future work

Increase constructive activation on mobile

As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.

Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.

Stay informed

Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

Tool of the week

• User:Lagewi/references.js - "Sometimes, the data on Wikidata does not answer all your questions. Some types of information are difficult to encode in statements, or simply has not been encoded on Wikidata yet. In such cases, it might be useful to go through the references attached to claims of the entity, for additional information. To simplify this process, this user script lists all unique references based on stated in (P248) and reference URL (P854). The references are listed in a collapsible list below the table of labels and descriptions, collapsed by default to not be obtrusive." To enable it, include the following line in your common.js: mw.loader.load('//www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lagewi/references.js&oldid=2039248554&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

2024年第38期技術新聞

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。

維護與改進

• 邀請對模板感興趣的編輯者閱讀最新的願望清單重點領域「模板調用和探索」，並在討論頁分享您的意見。這些意見有助於社群技術團隊決定正確的建置技術方法。我們也鼓勵大家繼續提交新願望。
• 新的自動化Special:命名空间信息頁面可協助編輯者了解各個維基站點存在哪些命名空間，以及各個命名空間的配置資訊。感謝DannyS712所做的改進。 [185]
• 「參考檢查」功能鼓勵編輯者在向維基百科條目新增段落時加入引用。有一小段時間，相應的標籤「編輯檢查（參考資料）已激活」有時錯誤地應用於主命名空間以外的編輯。此問題已解決。 [186]
• 現在，任何維基社群皆可請求變更其維基站點的頁面分類顯示順序。默认情況下，分類會依其在wikitext中出現的順序顯示。現在，達成共識的維基可以請求變更配置，改為依字母順序顯示。 [187]
• 現在，工具作者可以從Quarry和Superset访问ToolsDB的公共資料庫。這些資料庫本來就供所有Toolforge用户访问，不過因為所有維基媒體帳號皆可访问Quarry，現在可供更多人访问。此外，現在可以從Quarry本身查詢Quarry的內部資料庫。該資料庫包含Quarry用户正在執行以及加星標的所有查詢的信息。這些資訊本來就在網頁介面公開可見，但您現在可以使用SQL查詢它。 延伸閱讀上週解決的20個社群提交工單。
• 所有仍在使用舊CSS類別mw-message-box的頁面或工具都需要更新。這些舊類別將於下週或不久後移除。編輯者可以使用全域搜索來確認需要修改的內容。可以使用較新的cdx-message類別群組作為替代（參閱相關Codex文件以及更新範例），但最好使用本地定義的維基類別。 [188]

技術项目近況

• 下週，所有維基媒體網站將進入只读狀態幾分鐘，預定於9月25日 15:00 UTC開始。這是出於維護目的而規劃的数据中心切換。此維護過程也針對其他服務。 先前的切換耗時3分鐘，而網站可靠性工程團隊運用許多工具來確保這項重要維護工作盡快完成。 [189]

技術深入

• 月刊MediaWiki產品洞察電子報新期數發布。 本期內容包括：為協助簡化開發的hook處理程序研究、效能改進研究、為終端用户改進REST API等等。
• 來共享資源觀看2024年維基媒體國際會議的技術會議，了解維基媒體项目背後的技術細節。本週來看：
  • 黑客松展示（45分鐘）——幾位黑客松參與者的19個簡短演示，描述他們從事的项目，例如維護腳本的自動化測試、視訊剪接命令行工具，以及各種工具的介面改良。參閱Phabricator工單了解更多。
  • 共同創造Toolforge生態系統的可持续未來（40分鐘）——為Toolforge的工具維護者、使用者和支持人員舉辦的圓桌討論會，討論如何使Toolforge平台可持续發展，以及如何評估Toolforge工具。

2024年第39期技術新聞

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。

每週亮點

• 9月25日（三），所有維基媒體網站將進入唯讀狀態幾分鐘，預定於15:00 UTC開始。在此期間，您仍可以閱讀維基，但是無法進行編輯。這個每年兩次的流程使維基媒體基金會的網站可靠性工程團隊能夠隨時做好準備，即使在我們的数据中心之一發生嚴重中斷的情況下，也能確保維基站點正常運作。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

螢幕截圖，展示替代文字（alt text）建議編輯功能的介面

• 以中文、西班牙文、葡萄牙文、法文使用iOS維基百科App的編輯者，在編輯條目或使用「添加圖片」完成建議編輯後，可能會看到替代文字建議編輯實驗。替代文字（alt text）有助於視障人士閱讀維基百科條目。該團隊的目標是了解為圖片添加替代文字是否是編輯者可達成的任務。歡迎在討論頁分享任何意見。
• Codex調色板更新，新增並修訂了MediaWiki用户介面的顏色。對編輯者來說最明顯的變更包括以下元素的更新：链接和低調按鈕（包括progressive和destructive）在深色模式下的顏色、已访问链接在深淺模式下的顏色、系統消息在深淺模式下的底色。
• 代碼區塊中的維基链接和外部連結現在可以點擊。這包括<syntaxhighlight>標籤以及代碼頁面（JavaScript、CSS、Scribunto、已過濾的CSS）中的链接。模板語法{{…}}也會連結至模板頁面。感謝SD0001所做的改進。 [190]
• 全域隱退請求系統的兩處錯誤已經修復，改進了日誌記錄並移除了錯誤的佔位消息。 [191][192]
• 查看上週解決的共25個社群提交工單。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 來自維基媒體企業：
  • 維基媒體企業API現在提供每月5,000次隨選API請求，以及每月兩次免費的HTML快照（gratis和libre）。更多關於此更新，以及軟體開發套件（SDK）的改進，請參閱該專案的部落格文章。儘管維基媒體企業API是為大量商業重用者（high-volume commercial reuser）設計的，但這項變更也使得更多社群用例能在該服務上建置。
  • 快照API（html dumps）新增了Beta「結構化內容」端點（相關部落格文章），並從該端點向Hugging Face發布了兩個Beta資料集（英語和法語維基百科），以供大眾使用和回饋（相關部落格文章）。這些預解析的資料集為研究人員、開發人員、資料科學家提供新的選擇來使用和研究內容。

深入探索

• 維基數據查詢服務（WDQS）使用維基數據数据集獲取問題的答案。隨著維基數據的發展，我們必須對架構進行重大變革，以便WDQS能夠維持效能。作為WDQS圖表拆分项目的一部分，我們有新的SPARQL端點可用於服務維基數據的「scholarly」和「main」子圖表。query.wikidata.org端點將持續提供完整的維基數據圖表，直至2025年3月。此後，它將僅提供主圖表。參閱位於維基數據的公告了解更多。

2024年第40期技術新聞

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。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 繼先前部署，今再有42個維基的讀者可以使用深色模式。如果您所在維基的未登录用户尚無法使用深色模式，這可能是因為許多模板還無法在深色模式下正常顯示。如果您有興趣協助處理這類問題，請使用深色模式檢查工具。建議頁面提供相關指引。深色模式以每月一次的頻率部署至更多維基。
• 默认使用2010年版wikitext編輯器的編輯者，可以在URL尾端加上?veaction=editsource來使用2017年版wikitext編輯器的功能。如果您想改為默认使用2017年版wikitext編輯器，您可以在参数设置中調整设置。 [193]
• 對於使用Vector 2022皮肤的未登录讀者，「资助维基百科」連結已從內容區塊旁邊的可摺疊選單，移至更顯眼的頂部選單，位於「创建账号」旁邊。這讓連結恢復到與Vector 2010中相當的顯眼程度。了解更多捐助體驗相關的更改。 [194]
• CampaignEvents扩展為活動籌辦人員提供工具，讓他們能更輕鬆地管理活動、與參與者溝通，以及在維基站點上宣傳活動。阿拉伯語維基百科、伊博語維基百科、史瓦希里語維基百科、元維基已啟用該扩展；中文維基百科已決定啟用該扩展；西班牙語維基百科和維基數據正在進行相關討論。參見元維基的CampaignEvents頁面了解如何為您所在的維基請求部署。
• 查看上週解決的共22個社群提交工單。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 敬請擁有Wikitech帳號的開發者們檢查其帳號是否需要執行任何操作。Wikitech正在過渡到使用單一用户登录系統（SUL，即全域帳號），以及進行其他配置變更。此變更將有助於降低我們所有維基站點的每週軟體更新的整體複雜度。

深入探索

• 本次伺服器切換已於上週順利完成，唯讀時間僅2分46秒。這項定期流程確保工程師在切換数据中心之時，即使發生重大技術問題，所有維基仍然可供閱讀。藉此機會，工程師得以維護升級平時全天候運行的系統，往往還能找出基礎架構中的弱點。該流程涉及數十個軟體服務和數百個硬體伺服器，需要多個團隊通力合作。經過過去幾年的努力，流程所需時間已從17分鐘縮短至兩三分鐘。 [195]

會議與活動

• 10月4日—6日：WikiIndaba大會的黑客松，於南非約翰尼斯堡舉行
• 11月4日—6日：2024年秋季MediaWiki使用者與開發者大會，於奧地利維也納舉行

Tool of the week

• Elemwala (এলেমওয়ালা) (https://elemwala.toolforge.org): is a proof-of-concept interface that allows you to input abstract content and get natural language text in a given output language. There may well be errors with particular inputs, and the text may not be quite as natural as you might expect, but that's where your improvements to your language's lexemes, other Wikidata items, and the tool's source code come in!
• mlscores: Tool for calculating multilinguality score of Wikidata items (including properties). E.g. for Wikidata (Q2013), the scores are - en: 99.66%, fr: 89.49%, es: 84.07%, pt: 68.47%. For instance of (P31), the scores are - en: 99.86%, fr: 87.12%, es: 80.83%, pt: 61.37%.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• Launch of WikiProject Deprecate P642: The goal of this project is to prepare for deprecation, and eventual removal, of the property of (P642). Currently, of (P642) is labeled as "being deprecated", meaning its use is still allowed, but discouraged. From a peak of around 900,000 uses, the property now has around 700,000 uses (see status here). Our goal is to reduce that as much as possible in a systematic way, while ensuring that appropriate properties exist to replace all valid uses of of (P642). The latter is key to officially deprecating the property. Before removing the property, we want to get as close to zero uses as possible.

Discussions

• Open request for adminship: Addshore (RfP scheduled to end after 23 October 2024 18:03 UTC)
• New requests for permissions/Bot:
  • CarbonBot - (1) Add default mul labels to given and family names when the item has an existing default label with a mul language (2) Remove duplicated aliases matching the items mul label, when the item has a native label in with a mul language. As mul has not been fully adopted, a limited of aliases would be modified each day to ensure existing workflows are not disrupted. It is expected that these tasks will apply to roughly 800,000 given and family names.

2024年第43期技術新聞

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

• 行動應用程式團隊發布iOS應用程式導覽功能更新，目前已在最新的App store版本中推出。團隊新增了「個人資料」功能表，可讓您從條目顯示畫面中輕鬆存取通知和監視清單等給編輯者的功能，並將「捐款」按鈕移至更方便讀者存取的位置。這是規模龐大的導覽更新計畫的第一階段，幫助iOS應用程式從一個主要以讀者為中心的應用程式，轉變成一個完全支援閱讀和編輯的應用程式。近年來，維基媒體基金會根據志願者的請求，新增了許多編輯功能以及對維基交流的支援。

iOS維基百科應用程式的個人資料菜单與內容

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 維基百科讀者現在可以下載瀏覽器扩展程序，嘗試一些早期構想的潛在功能，包括推薦條目供進一步閱讀、自動總結條目、改善搜尋功能等。參閱網頁團隊的「內容探索實驗」頁面了解更多，訂閱電子報隨時掌握新訊。
• 本月稍晚，這12個維基的未登录編輯者將開始獲得自動建立的臨時帳號。試行維基清單可能會稍有變動——可能會移除維基，但不會再新增。臨時帳號是一種新的用户帳號類型，使未登录編輯者的隱私更受保護，也讓社群成員更容易與他們溝通。如果您在這12個維基上維護任何工具、機器人或小工具，，或可供未登入用户使用，請檢查其是否需要更新，以應對臨時帳號。參閱代码更新指南。參閱所有維基的部署計畫。
• 查看上週解決的共33個社群提交工單。 例如，南恩德貝萊語、潘諾尼亞盧森尼亞語、奧博洛語、伊班語、傣那語維基百科語言版本已於上週创建。 [212][213][214][215][216]
• 現在可以在Wikifunctions使用維基數據詞位建立函數，通过上週新推出的「維基數據詞位」類型。當您進入這些函式之一時，UI會提供一個詞位選擇器，幫助您從維基數據挑選與您輸入的單詞相符的詞位。點擊執行後，您所選取的詞位會從維基數據擷取，轉換成「維基數據詞位」類型，傳送至所選的函數中。參閱最新一期的Wikifunctions電子報了解更多。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 維基媒體網站用户現在可以使用新的{{#timef:…}}解析器函數，更輕鬆取得不同語言的格式化日期。例如，{{#timef:now|date|en}}顯示為「10 May 2025」，{{#timef:now|date|zh}}顯示為「2025年5月10日 (星期六)」。在此之前，{{#time:…}}可以用來格式化日期，但需要手動指定時間和日期的組成部件及順序及標點符號。#timef（或#timefl用於本地時區）提供對MediaWiki在其UI中使用的標準日期格式的访问。這能有助於簡化共享資源和元維基等多語言維基中的一些模板。 [217][218]
• 共享資源和元維基用户現在可以使用{{USERLANGUAGE}}取代{{int:lang}}來有效取得使用者語言。 [219]
• 產品和技術諮詢委員會（PTAC）目前已有試行成員，代表遍及非洲、亞洲、歐洲、北美洲、南美洲。他們將針對運動策略技術委員會倡議，建立一個共同定義且更具彈性的技術平台。 [220]

深入探索

• 季刊Growth電子報新期數發布。本期內容包括：新手首頁「社群新訊」模块即將推出；新的「社群配置」選項；新项目的詳情。
• 維基媒體基金會成為通用漏洞揭露（CVE）計畫的官方合作夥伴。CVE計畫是一項國際性的工作，將公開揭露的網路安全漏洞分類。既維基媒體基金會已成為CVE編號管理者，基金會安全團隊將能夠對影響MediaWiki核心、扩展、皮肤以及基金會管理的任何代码的漏洞即時發布CVE紀錄。
• 社群願望清單正在測試願望清單內容的機器翻譯。志願者現在可以閱讀願望的機器翻譯版本，在譯者翻譯內容之前投入討論。

會議與活動

• 10月24日：維基教育講者系列線上研討會——開源技術：建立維基教育面板，由維基媒體實習生和一位網頁開發人員參與的專題討論會。
• 2024年12月20日—22日：2024年印度維基媒體布班尼斯瓦黑客松於印度奧里薩邦舉行。該黑客松為社群成員——包括開發者、設計師、內容編輯者——而舉辦，旨在建構能改善貢獻者體驗的技術解決方案。

We have released a simple version on beta wikis and we will soon start an A/B test on our pilot wikis. This module will only display on the Newcomer Homepage if communities decide to utilize it, so learn how to configure the Community Updates module, or share your thoughts on the project's talk page.

One design concept aimed to increase constructive activation

Constructive activation experimentation

After showcasing early design ideas at Wikimania, we conducted user testing of design prototypes. We now aim to engage communities in further discussions and plan to run a targeted experiment, presenting a structured task within the reading view to logged-in new account holders with zero edits.

Community Configuration

This Community Configuration extension was developed to help communities customize wiki features to meet their unique needs. The Growth team is now helping other Wikimedia Foundation teams make their products configurable:

• The Moderation Tools team now provides Community Configuration for Automoderator. (T365046)
• Certain Babel extension settings will be configurable soon. (T328171)

Future work

As part of the Growth team annual plan, we will continue to investigate ways to increase constructive activation on mobile, while also working with Data Products to move forward A/B testing functionality via the Metrics Platform.

Community events

• Growth team members presented Community Configuration: Shaping On-Wiki Functionality Together at Wikimania (slides). The session recording is available to watch on YouTube. This session provided an update on the Community Configuration project and introduced details about the upcoming features that communities will soon be able to configure. Representatives from the Moderator Tools, Editing, Web, and Campaigns teams shared their plans for utilizing Community Configuration in the future. Following these presentations, the WMF Growth team's Benoît Evellin and Martin Urbanec answered audience questions.
• Habib Mhenni gave a presentation of how mentorship works at WikiIndaba 2024. The recording is available.

Did you know?

• Query examples:
  • Recently edited lexemes since 'DATE' (in this case Danish since 01.11.2024)
  • List films shot by filming location - try changing the wd: Wikidata item to another country, city, or even a building or natural location.
• Newest WikiProjects:
  • Suriname Public Art - public artworks and memorials in Suriname
  • HDF - A WikiProject for work underway at the The HDF Group (Q106509427) to connect HDF data with Wikidata.
  • French Literary Prizes - Aims to coordinate the development of a database on French literary prizes (prize list, jury members, list of winners). In 2008, Bertrand Labes listed more than 1,500 French-speaking literary prizes. To date, Wikidata has 709, including 24 including the list of winners and awarded works.

• Wikibase REST API:
  • Wikibase REST API is now on version 1!
  • We've finished the work on the create Property endpoint so it is now possible to create Properties via the REST API.
• Configuration: We removed 'mainpage' from $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg for Wikidata as requested so translations of the main page are available (phab:T184386)
• mul language code: We moved it to the top of the termbox so labels and aliases in mul are visible first (phab:T371802)
• Revision table size: We are investigating the current state of the revision table of Wikidata's database and what the next steps should be to address its issues.

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.

2024年第49期技術新聞

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。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 本週新增了兩個解析器函數。{{#interwikilink}}用於加入跨維基链接、{{#interlanguagelink}}用於加入跨語言链接。這兩個解析器函數可以在命名空間與跨維基前綴相衝突時使用。例如，英語維基百科上以MOS:開頭的链接與莫西語維基百科的mos語言代碼前綴相衝突。
• 從本週開始，維基媒體維基不再支持使用舊式RSA型HTTPS憑證的连接，具體來說是RSA-2048。此舉旨在提高所有使用者的安全性。部分較舊、不受支持的瀏覽器或智慧型行動裝置將無法连接；反之，它們會顯示连接錯誤。詳情請參閱HTTPS瀏覽器建議頁面。所有現代作業系統和瀏覽器始終能夠访问維基媒體維基。 [238]
• 12月16日開始，部分維基的結構式討論頁將自動存檔並設為唯讀模式，這些維基包括：arwiki、​cawiki、​frwiki、​mediawikiwiki、​orwiki、​wawiki、​wawiktionary、​wikidatawiki、​zhwiki。這是結構式討論棄用作業的一部分。如果您需要任何協助來預先存檔您的討論頁，請聯絡Trizek (WMF)。 [239]
• 本月，Chart圖表扩展已部署至生產環境，目前可在共享資源和測試維基使用。隨著安全審查的完成，維基試行部署預計於12月第1週開始。您可以在測試維基查看工作版本，並閱讀11月的项目更新了解更多。
• 查看上週解決的共23個社群提交工單。 例如，「下載為PDF」系統的錯誤現已修復。 [240]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 明年2月下旬，臨時帳號將在至少10個大型維基推出。這項部署將對由社群維護的代码產生重大影響，影響包括Toolforge工具、機器人、小工具，以及使用IP位址数据或可供未登录用户使用的用户腳本。信任與安全產品團隊希望找出這些代码、監控它們，並在部署前協助更新，以盡量減少對工作流程的干擾。團隊懇請技術編輯者和志願開發者們協助找出此類工具，將它們加入此清單。此外，請查閱更新後的文档，了解如何調整此類工具。歡迎到项目討論頁或維基媒體社群Discord伺服器（英文）的專門討論區參與討論，尋求支持並分享意見。

2024年第50期技術新聞

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

• MediaWiki.org文档中心更新，技術文档貢獻者現在可由此取得最新資源，並了解與社群及維基媒體技術文件團隊的新聯繫方式。該頁面提供以下連結：文档編寫與改進資源、libera.chat上的新IRC頻道#wikimedia-techdocs、過去和即將舉辦的文档相關活動清單、請求文档諮詢或審查的方法。如果您對文档生態系統有任何想法或改進意見，請聯絡技術文档團隊。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

編輯檢查功能的版面調整

• 本週稍晚，桌面版的編輯檢查框將移至側邊欄。編輯檢查功能旨在協助新手編輯者遵循方針與指引。這項版面調整騰出的空間，讓編輯者在輸入文字時，能同時看到新的檢查項目。初步結果顯示，新手在遇到編輯檢查框後，成功發布包含參考資料且未被回退的新內容編輯的可能性提高了2.2倍。
• 数据可视化工具——Chart圖表扩展已順利部署至MediaWiki.org和3個試辦維基（義大利語、瑞典語、希伯來語維基百科）。您可以在測試維基查看範例，並閱讀11月的项目更新了解更多。
• 在提供移动版內容翻譯的維基中，翻譯者現在可以從條目建議功能中的「所有收藏」分類中探索他們感興趣的維基專題活動條目。維基專題的活動籌辦人員可以使用此功能，透過將<page-collection> </page-collection>標籤加入至元維基上的活動條目列表頁面，幫助翻譯者探索感興趣的條目。這將提高這些條目在內容翻譯工具中的能見度。關於如何使用該工具和標籤的詳情，請參閱逐步指南。 [241]
• 「大量刪除」（Nuke）功能現在有了可多選的命名空間篩選。這使得用户在提取要刪除的頁面時，能夠選擇多個特定的命名空間，而不是僅選擇一個或全部。
• 此外，在待刪除頁面進入队列後，大量刪除功能現在會提供以下連結：遭刪除頁面的创建者的用户页，以及其未被選擇刪除的頁面。這使得管理員能更容易進行後續管理操作。感謝Chlod和Moderator Tools團隊所做的這兩項改進。 [242]
• 編輯團隊正在努力讓自動填入引用產生器——Citoid更容易從archive.org填入引用。團隊要求社群在每個使用Citoid的引用模板的TemplateData中預先加入兩個參數archiveUrl和archiveDate。參見模板變更範例，以及所有相關模板的清單。 [243]
• 一個新的維基已创建： 印尼語维基导游 (voy:id:) [244]
• 上週，所有維基網站經歷了持續30至45分鐘的服務中斷，無法順利提供網頁給已登录及部分未登录用户。此事件起因於資料庫異常，調查仍在進行中。 [245]
• 查看上週解決的共19個社群提交工單。 例如，添加链接功能的錯誤現已修復。之前，在某些情況下，從添加链接功能排除的章節清單會被部分忽略。 [246][247]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 維基媒體設計系統——Codex現在有一個早期階段的PHP实现。它可透過Composer在MediaWiki扩展與Toolforge應用程式供一般使用，並即將用於MediaWiki核心。更多詳情請參閱文档。感謝Doğu的靈感以及對函式庫的諸多貢獻。 [248]
• Wikimedia REST API用户，如機器人操作者和工具維護者，可能會受到正在進行的升級更新的影響。12月4日，MediaWiki介面團隊著手將測試維基上的頁面及修訂版本的metadata、渲染後的HTML內容等端點，從RESTbase重編路由至相似的MediaWiki REST API端點。團隊鼓勵這些端點的活躍用户在測試維基驗證其工具的行為，並於年底前將任何疑慮提交至相關的Phabricator工單，團隊打算於1月初在所有維基媒體项目實施相同的變更。這是取代過時的RESTBase系統的作業的一部分。
• 邀請維基媒體開發者社群填寫2024年開發者滿意度調查。如果您在維基媒體生態系統的軟體開發中佔有一角，請填寫此問卷調查。調查開放填寫至2025年1月3日，並請參閱相關隱私聲明。
• 本週沒有MediaWiki的新版本。 [249]

會議與活動

• 維基媒體基金會與維基共享資源社群的討論系列的下一次會議將於12月12日的8:00 UTC和16:00 UTC舉行。本次通話會議的主題是新媒體和新貢獻者。歡迎所有維基的貢獻者參加。

"The paper outlines the collaboration between the National Library of the Czech Republic and Wikimedia since 2006, focusing on linking authority records with Wikipedia articles and training librarians and users. By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata. This partnership has enhanced their cooperation for mutual benefit, identifying key factors for their successful long-term collaboration."
  • How have you modelled my gender? Reconstructing the history of gender representation in Wikidata by Melis, B., Fioravanti, M., Paolini, C., & Metilli, D. (2024). "The paper traces the evolution of gender representation in Wikidata, showing how the community has moved from a binary interpretation of gender to a more inclusive model for trans and non-binary identities. The Wikidata Gender Diversity project (WiGeDi) timeline highlights the significant changes influenced by external historical events and the community's increased understanding of gender complexity."
• Videos: Arabic Wikidata Days 2024 - Data Science Course - First Practical Session: Wikibase-CLI Tool (part 1, part 2) by Saeed Habishan.

2025年第3期技術新聞

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

• 單一用户登录（SUL）系統將在今後幾個月中進行更新。藉由這個系統，用户只需在一個維基媒體網站上填入帳號密碼，即可於所有其他維基媒體網站上登入。由於瀏覽器對跨網域cookie的限制日趨嚴格，因此需要更新。為了配合這些限制，登入和帳號建立頁面將移至中央網域，但以用户的視角來看仍像是在原本的維基站點上。此更新將於本週在測試維基上推出。此變更計劃於2月和3月向所有用户推出。請參閱SUL3项目頁面以了解更多細節和時間表。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 在安裝有PageAssessments的維基上，用户現在可以用inproject:前綴，按維基專題篩選搜尋結果。這些維基包括：阿拉伯语维基百科、​英语维基百科、​英语维基导游、​法语维基百科、​匈牙利语维基百科、​尼泊尔语维基百科、​土耳其语维基百科、​中文维基百科。 [251]
• 已新建一個維基： 提格雷語维基百科 (w:tig:) [252]
• 上週有35個社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，先前回退所產生的編輯未正確計入用户的編輯次數，此問題現已修復。 [253]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• Wikimedia REST API用户，如機器人操作者和工具維護者，可能會受到正在進行的升級更新的影響。從1月13日當週開始，我們將著手將部分頁面內容端點從RESTbase重新路由至較新的MediaWiki REST API端點，這項變更適用於所有維基站點。這項變更先前已在測試維基上施行，應不會影響現有功能；如果相關端點的活躍用户發現任何問題，可以直接在Phabricator中向MediaWiki介面團隊回報。
• 誠邀Toolforge工具維護者分享他們對Toolforge UI的意見回饋。Toolforge UI是一項提供Web平台的計畫，讓工具維護者能透過圖形介面來創建和管理Toolforge工具，以補足現有的命令列工作流程。Toolforge UI旨在簡化活躍維護者的工作，並讓新工具創建者更容易進行註冊和部署流程。這項計畫仍處於非常早期的階段，Cloud Services團隊正在收集Toolforge社群的意見回饋，以協助塑造滿足其需求的解決方案。閱讀更多並分享您對Toolforge UI的看法。
• 使用OAuth系統的工具和函數庫開發者請留意：先前，用於OAuth 1和OAuth 2的身分端點會返回一個JSON对象，其sub字段為整數——這是不正確的，該字段應始終為字串。此問題已修復，並將於1月13日當週部署至維基媒體維基。 [254]
• 目前，許多維基使用Cite CSS在Parsoid輸出中呈現自訂腳註標記（腳註編號）。從1月20日開始，這些規則將被停用，但開發人員強烈建議您不要在2月20日之前清理MediaWiki:Common.css，以免遷移過程中發生問題。您的維基在可视化編輯器中和使用實驗性Parsoid閱讀模式時，可能會遇到腳註標記的一些小變更；即使有變更，其所渲染出的應與舊版解析器的輸出一致。 [255]

會議與活動

• 維基媒體基金會與維基共享資源社群的對話系列的下一次會議將於1月15日的8:00 UTC和16:00 UTC舉行。本次通話會議的主題是決定共享資源工具投資的優先順序。歡迎所有維基的貢獻者參加，尤其是維護共享資源工具的用户。

技術新聞由技術新聞編者準備，並由機器人送達 • 貢獻 • 翻譯 • 获取帮助 • 提供反馈 • 訂閱或退訂。

2025年第5期技術新聞

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

• 巡查員們和管理員們——哪些關於編輯或使用者的資訊或情境，可以幫助您更快速、輕鬆地做出巡查或管理決策？維基媒體基金會想聽取您的意見，以協助指導即將到來的年度計畫。請考慮分享您對這個問題和其他13個問題的想法，以塑造明年度的技術方向。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 現在，世界各地的iOS維基百科App使用者都可以使用個人化的「年度回顧」，根據他們在維基百科上的閱讀與編輯記錄提供洞察報告。這個项目是眾多努力的一部分，旨在幫助新讀者探索百科內容並與之互動。
• 有一個新標籤可供巡查員標記可能有問題的新頁面。現在，當新建頁面的標題與先前已被刪除的頁面相同時，會標上標籤「Recreated」，使用者可以在Special:最近更改和Special:最新页面中篩選出該標籤。 [259]
• 本週稍晚開始，如果編輯者嘗試建立連結至另一個重定向的重定向（即雙重重定向），將會被新的警告阻止。該警告會建議他們直接連結至第二個重定向的目標頁面。感謝SomeRandomDeveloper所做的改進。 [260]
• 維基媒體維基允許在登入過程中使用基於WebAuthn的雙因素驗證（例如硬體權杖），但是該功能很脆弱，使用者非常少。MediaWiki平台團隊暫時禁止新增WebAuthn金鑰，以避免干擾SUL3的推出。現有的金鑰不受影響。 [261]
• 上週有30個社群提交的工單得到解決。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 使用MediaWiki History dumps的開發者請留意：資料平台工程團隊在這些轉儲中新增了幾個欄位，以支援臨時帳號。如果您負責維護讀取這些資料庫的軟體，請檢查您的代码並查閱更新後的文档，因為欄位在行（row）中的順序將會改變。此外，在mediawiki_user_history轉儲中，anonymous欄位將重命名為is_anonymous。這些變更將在2月的發行版本中生效。 [262]

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• ⚠️ Wikidata Query Service graph split: The graph split is about 2 months away. If you are doing queries that involve scholarly articles or if you have an application that does you will be affected. Please check d:Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split for details.
• We (Peter F. Patel-Schneider and Egezort) want to run a course on the Wikidata Ontology for a limited number of participants. Designed for those already familiar with Wikidata, it will present information about ontologies and how they form the core of Wikidata, incorporating several exercises on analyses of and fixes to the Wikidata ontology. Upon successful completion (ending with a group project in consultation by us), participants will receive certificates. Please give feedback and suggestions to improve the structure and course content (found in more detail at WikiProject:Ontology Course) which will be incorporated into our Wikimedia rapid grant application to support the effort. Interested in helping or want to share your thoughts? Let us know.
• Several database changes will impact Wikidata in the coming months, including the migration of the term store (wbt_ tables) to a dedicated cluster to improve performance and enable future growth. This move will speed up most Wikidata SQL queries but prevent direct joins between term store data and other Wikidata tables. Additionally, the wb_type table will be removed, with its mapping hardcoded in Wikibase, simplifying the codebase. More details.
• Call for projects and mentors for Google Summer of Code 2025! Deadline: February 28th. More info!
• Lydia Pintscher awarded the European Open Source Award - Wikidata Portfolio Manager for WMDE, Lydia's contributions to the development of Wikidata have been recognised in the category of Advocacy and Awareness.

2025年第7期技術新聞

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

• 產品與技術諮詢委員會（PTAC）發表了一份對維基媒體基金會產品與技術部門的建議的草案。PTAC建議部門專注於行動裝置體驗，尤其是關於貢獻。PTAC請求社群在討論頁提出意見回饋，2月21日截止。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 默认情況下，「特殊页面」portlet链接將從「工具」區塊移至主選單側邊欄的「导航」區塊（位於最頂部的區塊）。「工具」是用來放置與當前頁面相關的工具，而非與站點相關的工具，這項變更將使链接位置更符合一貫的邏輯。若要修改此行為並更新CSS樣式，管理員可遵循T385346的指示進行修改。 [269]
• 網頁團隊的一項工作是改善讀者在維基上探索內容的方式。作為該工作的一部分，網頁團隊將對少數讀者進行一項實驗，在搜尋欄中顯示一些相關或有趣條目的建議。參閱專案頁面了解更多。
• 使用TemplateStyles的模板編輯者現在可以用無障礙相關的媒體查詢（prefers-reduced-motion、prefers-reduced-transparency、prefers-contrast、forced-colors），來針對特定無障礙需求定制輸出。感謝Bawolff所做的改進。 [270]
• 上週有22個社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，全域封鎖日誌現在會直接顯示在Special:中央认证頁面上，與全域鎖定類似，以簡化監管員的工作流程。 [271]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 維基數據現在支援一種特殊語言「所有语言的默认值」，作為標籤和別名。這是為了避免相同的資訊過度地重複出現在多種語言中。如果您的維基數據查詢會用到標籤，您可能需要更新您的查詢方式，因為部分現有標籤會被移除。 [272]
• 先前，getDescription函數會在每次讀取維基頁面時被調用，約佔頁面總載入時間的2.5%。現在，計算出的值將被快取，以減輕維基媒體伺服器的負載。 [273]
• 作為RESTBase棄用作業的一部分，/page/related端點已於2025年2月6日封鎖，並將於近期移除。此時程選擇乃為配合舊版Android和iOS的棄用時程。MediaWiki的「morelike」action API提供了穩定的替代方案，請參考遷移範例。如有任何疑問，請聯絡MediaWiki介面團隊。 [274]

深入了解

• 季刊語言與國際化電子報新期數發布。 本期內容包括：有關「貢獻」功能表（Speciale:Contribute）的更新；維基百科一些最新語言版本的細節資訊；MediaWiki介面支援的新語言的細節資訊；社群定義清單功能的近況更新；等等。
• Chart專案電子報新期數發布。 本期內容包括：為Chart圖表的全域使用情況提高可見性的進度更新；在共享資源上的Data命名空間中支援頁面分類的進度更新。

本週要聞

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

討論頁改進，圖中以粉紅色方框強調

• 從下週開始，四個維基的討論頁將採用新設計。這些維基包括：西班牙语维基百科、​法语维基百科、​意大利语维基百科、​日文维基百科。這項變更已作為測試功能進行了廣泛測試，是討論頁改進的最後一步。 [275]
• 现在，在操作页面（例如查看历史记录的页面）点击重定向页面的链接可以直接前往重定向页面。先前则必须先跳转到重定向目标再前往。此项更改会为处理重定向的编辑者带来很大的帮助。感謝stjn所做的改進。 [276]
• 目前，當Cite參考資料被多次重複使用時，參考資料清單中會顯示如「1.23」的數字標記或如「a b c」的本地化字母標記。先前，如果重用次數太多，以致於字母標記用盡，系統會顯示一則錯誤消息。作為Cite自訂現代化工程的一部分，將不再顯示這些錯誤消息；一旦字母標記用盡，反向链接將恢復顯示如「1.23」的數字標記。
• 现在，每条用户组更改日誌的显示都更加清晰，目前会分别列出授予、撤销、更改的群组，而不再是简单列出更改前后是哪些群组。译者可以帮忙更新相关消息的本地化版本。感謝Msz2001所做的改進。
• Special:大量删除工具新增篩選項，現在可用頁面大小（位元組）範圍來篩選頁面。管理員可以用這項功能刪除小於特定大小的頁面。 [277]
• 此外，非管理員——即使無法直接刪除頁面——現在可以使用Special:大量删除工具檢查哪些頁面可能需要刪除。感謝MolecularPilot所做的這兩項改進。 [278]
• 上週有25個社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，AV1視訊檔案格式配置中的一個錯誤得到修復，使這些檔案再度能夠正常播放。 [279]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 繼去年維基導遊成功轉換成Parsoid閱讀視圖之後，未來幾週內，Parsoid閱讀視圖將在大多數維基詞典推出。參閱Parsoid/解析器統一了解更多。 [280][281]
• 站内工具的开发者请注意，mw.Uri已弃用。仍依赖mw.Uri的工具必须显式声明mediawiki.Uri作为ResourceLoader依赖，且应尽快迁移到浏览器原生的URL这一API。 [282]

2025年第10期技術新聞

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。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 所有已登入編輯者現在皆可在手機版網站編輯整個頁面。在工具列上的「更多」選單中點擊「编辑整页」即可。先前編輯者須啟用高级模式才能使用這項功能。 [289]
• 請介面管理員協助移除本地MediaWiki:Common.css中帶有「mw-ref」的已棄用Cite CSS碼。此全域搜尋列出了需清理的維基站點以及需移除的代碼，另可參考此範例。參閱CSS遷移项目頁面進一步了解如何提供協助。Cite腳註標記（「[1]」）現在由Parsoid渲染，不再需要上述的已棄用CSS。反向链接的CSS（「mw:referencedBy」）目前應維持不變。這項清理作業應不會給讀者帶來明顯變化。請在3月20日前協助移除這些代碼，若未及時處理，之後將由開發團隊代為移除。
• 現在，若在受連鎖保護的頁面加入文件（例如[[File:MediaWiki.png]]），系統將不再限制對文件描述頁面的編輯，而僅限制文件新版本的上傳。反之，若嵌入文件描述頁面（例如{{:File:MediaWiki.png}}），對描述頁面的編輯將受連鎖保護限制。 [290][291]
• 編輯者若想要將文件還原至較早版本，現在需要與上傳文件新版本相同的權限。系統現在會檢查「覆盖现存文件 (reupload)」或「覆盖自己上传的文件 (reupload-own)」權限，並遵守連鎖保護。 [292][293]
• 現在，管理員在使用Special:大量删除工具列出待刪除頁面時，可以選擇同時列出相關的討論頁和重定向頁面，而無需事後再手動處理。 [294]
• 前幾期提到單一用户登录（SUL）系統為配合瀏覽器對跨網域Cookie的限制，登入和帳號建立頁面將移至中央網域——這項更新將於3、4月向所有用户推出。團隊計劃於本週為Group0站點上的所有新帳號建立流程應用這項更新。參閱SUL3项目頁面了解最新時間表和更多細節。
• 自上週以來，部分介面圖示在頁面尚未加载完全時，錯誤顯示為黑色方塊（深色模式中則為白色）。本週將修正此問題。 [295]
• 已新建一個維基： 錫爾赫特語维基百科 (w:syl:) [296]
• 上週有23件社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前老舊版本的手機版Firefox瀏覽器無法正常加载圖片，現已修正此問題。 [297]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

Growth Newsletter #33

A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.

Constructive Activation Experiments

This year, the Growth team is exploring ways to help more new account holders start editing—and do so constructively, meaning their edits are not reverted. Our latest experiments include:

• Gradual rollout of "Add a Link" at English Wikipedia – We are gradually introducing the "Add a Link" structured task to newcomers at English Wikipedia (T386029). This serves as a natural A/B test to measure its impact on activation, retention, and revert rates (T382603). Previous experiments on pilot wikis showed that "Add a Link" increases newcomer participation, particularly by helping them make constructive (non-reverted) edits.
• Testing in-article suggestions for first-time editors – Many new account holders want to contribute but don’t know where to start. To help, we’re piloting a feature that surfaces structured task suggestions directly in an article’s read view for brand-new editors (T385343). These suggestions will appear for logged-in users with no edits, providing a clear, simple way to begin contributing that is surfaced while they read.

Community Updates

Newcomers often struggle to find their place in Wikipedia’s collaborative environment. While experienced editors easily discover events like edit-a-thons and writing campaigns, newcomers often miss out.

• To bridge this gap, we launched the Community Updates module for the Newcomer Homepage. This module is disabled by default, allowing Community Admins to decide how (or if) to use it.
• If your community hosts events, consider setting up a Community Update to engage and welcome newcomers! Learn more on Diff. To configure, visit Special:CommunityConfiguration.

Community Configuration

Community Configuration is now available across all wikis, including non-Wikipedia projects (T383910). Community Configuration allows admins to customize various features like Growth features and Automoderator for their communities, and more recently the Babel extension now allows admins to modify configuration:

• Babel customization – Admins can now configure Babel settings (T374348), including category naming, automatic category creation, and more. See an example on Wikimedia Commons.
• Upcoming configurable features – Projects exploring community configuration options include: Incident Reporting System (T374113) and Cite backlinks (T378807).

Mentorship

Mentors play a key role in guiding new editors. If you’re interested in mentoring, or turning mentorship on at your wiki, check out the Mentorship FAQ

• Starting February 17, 100% of new accounts at English Wikipedia will be assigned a mentor (T384505).
• At Spanish Wikipedia, on 50% of newcomers get a mentor. Experienced contributors are encouraged to join mentorship so that Spanish Wikipedia can provide a mentor to all new users.

Looking Ahead

In the coming months, we will continue balancing maintenance work—such as deprecating EditGrowth Config (T367574) and migrating Statslib (T359352) — with user-facing improvements that support new editors and foster the next generation of contributors.

2025年第11期技術新聞

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。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 在多個維基上使用密碼管理工具的編輯者可能會注意到將來的變化。我們的維基提供密碼管理工具跨網域重複使用密碼資訊的方式最近已經更新，因此有些密碼管理工具現在可能會為您提供您為不同維基媒體網站儲存的登入憑證。有些密碼管理工具已經這麼做了，現在正在為更多的維基媒體網域進行此操作。這是SUL3專案的一部分，旨在改善我們的單一登入系統的運作方式，並使其與不斷變更的網路瀏覽器相容。 [298][299]
• 維基百科App團隊邀請有興趣的用户協助改善維基百科的離線和受限網路使用情況。經過Afrika Baraza和上次ESEAP通話會議的討論後，我們正在探討搜尋、編輯、離線访问等關鍵挑戰，即將召開的焦點團體將深入探討這些主題。歡迎以任何語言參與，活動將提供口譯服務。如有任何想法，歡迎參與討論或寄信至aramadan@wikimedia.org！
• 3月19日，所有維基媒體網站將進入唯讀狀態數分鐘，預定於14:00 UTC開始。詳情將在技術新聞發布，並在未來幾週內發送至各維基。
• 上週有27件社群提交的工單得到解決。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 本週稍晚代码更新細節： MediaWiki

深入了解

• 季刊Growth電子報新期數發布。 本期內容包括：推出「社群新訊」模組；「社群配置」的最新變更；即將對初次編輯者測試條目內建議。
• Android維基百科App之前使用的舊API將於3月底移除。目前並沒有軟體使用該API，但到移除當日（2025年3月31日），年齡超過6個月的App版本的使用者，將無法再使用「建議編輯」功能，直到他們更新App為止。了解更多。

2025年第12期技術新聞

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

• 每年春秋分前後，維基媒體基金會的網站可靠性工程團隊例行執行資料中心伺服器切換，將所有流量從主要伺服器導向備用伺服器。這個半年一次的程序確保了我們在面臨危機時，可以隨時使用備援資料中心。多虧了Listen to Wikipedia工具，您可以實際聽到切換的過程：開始之前，您會聽到源源不絕的編輯聲音；然後，當系統進入短暫的唯讀階段時，聲音會停止數分鐘，切換完成後才會恢復。更多關於此次切換的背景和細節，請參閱Diff文章。如果您想聆聽即將到來的伺服器切換，請於3月19日 14:00 UTC收聽各維基的聲音。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 經改良的內容翻譯工具面板現已供10個維基百科使用，並即將在所有維基百科推出。有了統一的面板，桌面裝置使用者現在可以翻譯條目章節；探索並存取以主題為基礎的條目建議篩選器（起初僅限行動裝置）；從維基專題和編輯活動中探索並存取社群定義的清單篩選器，也稱為「收藏集」（Collections）。
• 維基共享資源引入新的檔案分類選擇系統：如果某分類含有一個或多個子分類，點擊箭頭即可在表單中展開子分類清單，以便選取正確分類。父分類名稱會持續顯示在頂部，可隨時返回父分類。這應該可以減少志願者修復/建立新分類的工作量。這項變更同樣適用於行動裝置。這些變更是上传向导改進計畫的一部分。
• 社群技術團隊正在徵求維基社群參與試用多重封鎖功能以及更新後的Special:封禁頁面，預定3月底進行。多重封鎖可讓管理員同時對同一使用者施加多種不同類型的封鎖。如果您是管理員或監管員，並希望我們與您的社群討論參與試行的事宜，請在專案討論頁留言。
• 3月25日開始，編輯團隊將在12個維基百科站點測試編輯檢查的新功能：多重檢查。在這些維基中，一半的新手在編輯時會看到所有參考檢查，而另一半則如同往常只看到一個。此測試旨在觀察編輯者在單一編輯階段中看到多個（且相關的）參考檢查時，是否會感到困惑或氣餒。在這些維基中，有顯示參考檢查的編輯所使用的標籤將被簡化，因為一筆編輯中可能會顯示多個標籤。Phabricator工單記錄了變更的標籤。 [300]
• 全域提醒機器人是一項通知使用者其臨時權限即將到期的服務，現已支援在訊息標題中使用權限群組的本地化名稱。請翻譯人員參閱說明文件和現有譯文清單，檢查其語言是否需要更新或新增譯文。
• Special:全域设置中的性別設定——用來設定軟體在介面訊息中應該如何稱呼您——現在可以如預期般覆寫本地預設值。 [301]
• 上週有26件社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，Android版維基百科App修正了使用者以多種語言瀏覽和搜尋時發生的錯誤。 [302]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 本週稍晚，Codex樣式的載入方式將改變。儘管風險較低，這有可能導致某些頁面上的介面訊息框樣式失效。模板等使用者生成內容不受影響；小工具可能會受影響。如果您發現任何問題，請回報至工單。關於如何修復受影響小工具的細節、截圖、說明文件，請參閱上述工單。
• 本週稍晚代码更新細節： MediaWiki

2025年第13期技術新聞

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

• 維基媒體基金會正在徵求您對下年度目標與關鍵結果（OKR）草案的反饋意見，這些OKR將影響基金會的下一個財政年度（從7月開始）的產品與技術優先事項。「目標」是廣泛的高層次領域，而「關鍵成果」則是追蹤目標成功與否的可衡量方式。請在討論頁分享您的意見，語言不限，最好在4月底之前提出。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• CampaignEvents擴充功能將於2025年4月部署至多個維基（詳情請見部署計畫），團隊已開始與確定部署的維基社群接觸。該擴充功能提供了在維基上籌辦、管理和推廣協作活動（如Event活動、編輯松、維基專題）的工具。該擴充功能有三個工具：活動報名、協作清單和邀請清單。該擴充功能目前已部署至13個維基百科（包括中文、英語、法語、西班牙語等），以及維基數據。若有任何問題或請求，請至擴充功能討論頁或Phabricator（加上#campaigns-product-team標籤）。
• 3月31日當週開始，維基站點將能夠自行設定哪些使用者群組可以在活動報名功能中檢視非公開報名者，這是CampaignEvents擴充功能的一部分。預設情況下，活動籌辦人員和本地管理員將能夠檢視非公開報名者。這改變了目前的行為，即只有活動籌辦人員才能檢視非公開報名者。維基社群在Phabricator請求變更配置（加上#campaigns-product-team標籤）來變更預設配置。過往活動的參與者可隨時取消報名。
• 有自訂MediaWiki:Sidebar的維基的管理員應檢查其之中是否列有特殊页面項目。若沒有，管理員應使用* specialpages-url|specialpages來加入該項目。帶有預設側邊欄的維基將在4月看到該链接從工具欄移至側邊欄。 [303]
• Minerva外觀（手機版網站）將重要通知和常规通知整合進一個鈴鐺圖示 中。Minerva長期存在一個錯誤，僅在有未讀「重要通知」時才會顯示新通知標示。現已修正此問題。未來在Minerva中，無論您有未讀的重要通知或常规通知，鈴鐺圖示上方皆會顯示未讀通知數量。 [304]
• 上週有23件社群提交的工單得到解決。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 視覺化編輯器引入了新的用戶端勾點，供開發者在整合視覺化編輯器目標生命週期時使用。該勾點應該會取代現有的生命週期相關勾點，並且在不同平台之間更加一致。此外，新的勾點也將適用於全文編輯以外的視覺化編輯，讓小工具也能與討論工具（DiscussionTools）中的編輯器互動。編輯團隊打算棄用並最終移除舊的生命週期勾點，因此團隊很關注任何新勾點未涵蓋的用例，如有相關資訊，歡迎在工單中與團隊分享。
• 使用mw.Api這一JavaScript函式庫的開發者，現在可以使用userAgent參數來識別使用該函式庫的工具：var api = new mw.Api( { userAgent: 'GadgetNameHere/1.0.1' } );。如果您有在維護小工具或使用者腳本，請務必設置使用者代理（user agent），這將有助於函式庫和伺服器的維護，以及區分合法與非法的流量。 [305][306]

2025年第14期技術新聞

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。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 編輯團隊正在開發新的編輯檢查：華辭檢查（Peacock check）。這項檢查的目的是在使用者編輯維基頁面時找出非中立詞句，以便在他們發布編輯前通知並建議其修改。華辭檢查仍在早期階段，團隊正在尋求社群的意見：在此Phabricator工單中，團隊正在收集他們目前所研究的語言版本的維基內方針、用來標記非中立條目的模板，以及編輯摘要的用語（術語與關鍵字）。要參與其中，您可以編輯工單中的表格、在工單留言，或是直接傳訊息給Trizek (WMF)。
• 所有維基站點的單一使用者登入系統皆已更新，登入與帳號建立頁面已移至中央網域。這可讓使用者登入流程兼容瀏覽器對跨網域Cookie的限制，這些限制會讓某些瀏覽器的使用者無法維持登入狀態。
• 上週有35件社群提交的工單得到解決。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 3月31日開始，MediaWiki介面團隊將開始限量發布已生成的OpenAPI規格，以及以SwaggerUI為基礎的MediaWiki REST API沙盒體驗。團隊邀請來自特定非英語維基百科社群（中文、阿拉伯語、德語、法語、希伯來語、國際語、荷蘭語）的開發者，以他們的偏好語言審閱說明文件並試用沙盒。除此之外，沙盒與OpenAPI規格也將在測試維基的REST沙盒特殊頁面上提供給偏好使用英語的開發者。在預覽期間，MediaWiki介面團隊也邀請開發者分享您的體驗。預覽期約為兩週，之後沙盒和OpenAPI規格將提供給所有維基站點使用。
• 本週稍晚代码更新細節： MediaWiki

深入了解

• 有時，一行小小的程式碼變更，卻有著重大的意義：這項變更意味著多年來，我們第一次能夠從單一座核心資料中心執行所有提供給maps.wikimedia.org（專門為維基媒體站點提供多語言地圖的主機）的堆疊，我們每次執行資料中心切換時都會進行這項測試。這項進展非常重要，因為它確保即使其中一座資料中心發生意外，我們仍能持續提供網站服務。這項變更歸功於兩位開發人員的大量工作，他們將地圖堆疊的最後一個組件移植到Kubernetes，我們在那裡能更有效率地分配資源，從而使單一資料中心能承受更多流量。這項工作涉及許多複雜步驟，因為這個軟體及其所使用的軟體函式庫需要許多逾期已久的升級。這類工作讓維基媒體的基礎架構更具永續性。

會議與活動

• 2025年5月14日至16日，2025年春季MediaWiki使用者與開發者研討會將於美國桑達斯基舉行，並同時線上舉行。研討會將圍繞不同產業公司使用MediaWiki軟體的情況進行討論，並鼓勵及吸引新使用者。活動報名及演講報名現已開始，可前往研討會網站報名。

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

• 本週稍晚，預設的縮圖尺寸將從220px增至250px。這將改變所有維基頁面的顯示方式。部分社群多年來一直要求更改預設縮圖尺寸，但過去因技術限制而未能實現。 [308]
• 檔案縮圖現在以特定尺寸儲存。如果頁面指定的縮圖尺寸不在標準尺寸（20、40、60、120、250、330、500、960）之列，那麼MediaWiki將會選擇最接近的較大縮圖尺寸，但會請瀏覽器將其縮小到所要求的尺寸。這在視覺上不會有任何變化，但使用者可能會載入稍大一點的圖片。在頁面中使用縮圖時，如果縮圖尺寸不是很重要，請選擇其中一種標準尺寸，以避免額外的瀏覽器縮小步驟。 [309][310]

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 維基媒體基金會正在開發名為Edge Uniques的系統，該系統可用於實現A/B測試，幫助抵禦DDoS攻擊，並讓我們更容易了解維基媒體網站的訪客數量。有了Edge Uniques，基金會可以更有效率地打造能幫助讀者的工具，讓讀者更容易找到他們要找的東西。
• 為了提升使用者安全性，現在有一小部分的登入嘗試將需要輸入一次性密碼，該密碼將以電子郵件寄送。請檢查您的帳號是否設有有效的電子郵件地址，且該地址已被系統確認。 [311]
• 「您有沒有興趣參加一個簡短的調查，以改善您的維基上的巡查和回退工具？」這個問題將從下週開始在7個維基的近期變更和監視清單頁面上向使用者提出。內容維護工具團隊想更了解那些：檢視維基媒體專案的新編輯，並判斷這些編輯是否遵守專案方針的工作。
• 4月15日，query.wikidata.org將不再支援完整的維基數據圖表。該日之後，學術文章將可透過query-scholarly.wikidata.org取得，而維基數據上託管的其他資料則可透過query.wikidata.org端點取得。這是預定的維基數據圖表拆分計畫的一部分，該計畫於2024年9月公布。詳情請見維基數據頁面。
• 季刊維基媒體App電子報新期數發布。內容涵蓋了維基百科行動應用程式的更新、實驗與改進。
• 上週有30件社群提交的工單得到解決。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 季刊技術社群電子報新期數發布。 本期內容包括：邀請工具維護者參加4月15日的Toolforge UI社群回饋會議；近期社群指標；近期技術方面的Diff文章。
• 本週稍晚代码更新細節： MediaWiki

2025年第17期技術新聞

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。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 自4月15日起，維基函數已與達戈姆巴語維基百科整合。這是第一個能夠從維基函數呼叫函數並在條目中使用的專案。函數能接受一個或多個輸入，並將其轉換成預期的輸出，例如：相加兩數、換算單位、計算時間跨度或轉換大小寫。有了維基函數，使用者只需呼叫一個穩定的全域函數即可達成目的，無需使用本地模板。 [312]
• 新增了一種lint錯誤：空标题（說明文件）。Linter擴充功能旨在找出頁面中需要或可以修正的wikitext語句，並提供指引，說明這些語句的問題以及如何修正。 [313]
• 上週有37件社群提交的工單得到解決。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 繼在HuggingFace上發布之後，由維基媒體企業服務（Wikimedia Enterprise）開發的「Structured Contents」資料集現在也可在Kaggle上取用。這項Beta計畫著重於讓維基媒體資料更易於機器讀取，以供大量重複使用。這次，他們在開放資料集社群已在使用的平台上發布這個測試版，以尋求回饋，幫助改善產品，利於將來的廣泛發布。參閱更多關於整個Structured Contents專案，以及第一個可自由使用的版本。
• 本週沒有MediaWiki版本更新。

會議與活動

• 編輯團隊與機器學習團隊邀請有興趣的志願者參加視訊會議，討論最新的編輯檢查：華辭檢查。華辭檢查可在編輯者鍵入文字時偵測「華而不實」、「過度宣傳」或「非中立」的語句。我們鼓勵經常接觸新手的編輯者、協助修正此類文字的編輯者，或對我們在專案中使用AI的方式感興趣的編輯者參加。會議將於2025年4月28日 18:00-19:00 UTC在Zoom上舉行（查看您的當地時間）。

• Wiki Replicas的使用者將會注意到ipblocks、ipblocks_ipindex和ipblocks_compat這幾個資料庫檢視表現已棄用。使用者可以查詢block和block_target這二個新的檢視表，這些新檢視表會反映生產資料庫中的新表格。棄用的檢視表將於2025年6月從Wiki Replicas中完全移除。
