Tech News: 2024-21
editLatest 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
- The Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [1]
- New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [2][3]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (calendar). [4][5]
The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.

Recent changes
- Several bugs related to the latest updates to the UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons have been fixed. For more information, see T365107 and T365119.
- In March 2024 a new addPortlet API was added to allow gadgets to create new portlets (menus) in the skin. In certain skins this can be used to create dropdowns. Gadget developers are invited to try it and give feedback.
- Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration. Interface editors should check the rendering on mobile devices for aspects related to the classes:
.collapsible,.multicol,.reflist,.coordinates,.topicon. Further details are available on replacement CSS if it is needed.

- When you visit a wiki where you don't yet have a local account, local rules such as edit filters can sometimes prevent your account from being created. Starting this week, MediaWiki takes your global rights into account when evaluating whether you can override such local rules. [8]

Happy Adminship Anniversary!
edit | Happy adminship anniversary! Hi Trialpears! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of your successful request for adminship. Enjoy this special day! The Herald (Benison) (talk) 19:13, 12 June 2024 (UTC) |  |
- Thanks! I can't imagine that it's been 3 years already. Trialpears (talk) 08:13, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Where I've been
editI doubt anyone cares but I might as well share in case anyone wonder. I've been struggling with depression for over a year now and find it difficult to care about Wikipedia anymore. You will likely see more of me again some day and I usually read things posted here or in my pings eventually. If you want to contact me it doesn't hurt to try, but don't expect a timely response. -- Trialpears (talk) 08:17, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Just glad to see your name pop up on my feed; we'll still be here if and when you decide to return. Primefac (talk) 00:20, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Likewise. Sorry to hear you're going through a rough patch. You're always welcomed around here. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:45, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Take care of yourself, and ask for help when you need it. I hope to see your valuable contributions back here when you are ready. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:47, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
