Notizie tecniche: 2022-22
Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- Nell'estensione AbuseFilter è stata introdotta la nuova funzione
ip_in_ranges()
che consente di controllare se un IP rientra in uno qualsiasi di diversi intervalli. Si raccomanda di usarla al posto di più funzioniip_in_range()
legate dall'operatore|
per migliorare la performance. Gli utenti possono usare la funzione di ricerca sulla pagina Special:AbuseFilter per trovare le occorrenze da sostituire. [8] - La funzione IP Info che aiuta chi combatte il vandalismo a trovare informazioni sugli IP diventerà una funzione beta su tutti i wiki. La decisione è stata presa dopo settimane di beta testing su test.wikipedia.org.
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 31 maggio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 1 giugno e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 2 giugno (calendario).
- Il 31 maggio alle 07:00 UTC alcuni wiki saranno in modalità di sola lettura per alcuni minuti a causa di un cambio di database.
- Lo strumento Nuova discussione sarà presto attivato di default a tutti gli utenti sulla maggior parte dei wiki. Potrai disattivarlo nelle preferenze. [9][10]
- Prossimamente l'API list=usercontribs permetterà di recuperare i contributi di intervalli IP. Gli utenti potranno impostare il parametro
uciprange
per ottenere dati entro il limite consentito. [11] - Ci sarà una nuova funzione parser chiamata
{{=}}
. La funzione consentirà di inserire il simbolo uguale nel valore dei parametri dei template, rendendo così obsoleti gli attuali Template:= che servono a fare altrettanto. [12]

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- Sull'app di Wikipedia per Android c'è una nuova opzione che consente di modificare le pagine per intero. Si trova nell'hamburger menu una volta cliccata l'icona con tre puntini . [20]
- Alcuni cambiamenti recenti ai database potrebbero interessare le query create con lo strumento Quarry. Le interrogazioni sulla tabella
site_stats
di Wikipedia in lingua inglese, Commons e Wikidata dovranno essere aggiornate. Leggi maggiori informazioni. - Nei filtri anti abusi si può ora usare la nuova variabile
user_global_editcount
per evitare di colpire utenti attivi anche su altri wiki. [21]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 21 giugno. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 22 giugno e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 23 giugno (calendario).
- Gli utenti che usano aspetti non responsivi (es. MonoBook e Vector) su dispositivi mobili potrebbero notare un leggero cambiamento nel livello di zoom predefinito. Il cambiamento è inteso a ottimizzare lo zoom e assicurare che tutti gli elementi dell'interfaccia appaiano sullo schermo (come l'indice di Vector 2022). Nell'improbabile eventualità che sorgano problemi a causa del nuovo zoom, è raccomandato menzionare e coinvolgere Jon (WMF) nelle discussioni sui wiki. [22]
Modifiche future
- La funzione beta Strumenti di discussione sarà aggiornata nel corso di luglio. Le discussioni appariranno in modo diverso. Visualizza in anteprima alcuni dei cambiamenti proposti.
- Prossimamente l'output HTML di Parsoid non annoterà più i link a file con valori dell'attributo

The primary goal of this session is to generate as many contributor and publisher items as we can in advance of the two following sessions which have to do with batch editing -- we want enough to make a good batch! We will review how to add items, but then reserve the bulk of the session for open editing, kind of like a mini-editathon! Naturally, participants can ask questions and share thoughts at any point during the editing! You are, as always, welcome to bring your own data to work on. All sessions in the project series will be recorded. Links will be added when available. Event page

Tech News: 2022-46
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
- At Wikidata, an interwiki link can now point to a redirect page if certain conditions are met. This new feature is called sitelinks to redirects. It is needed when one wiki uses one page to cover multiple concepts but another wiki uses more pages to cover the same concepts. Your feedback on the talkpage of the new proposed guideline is welcome. [82]
- The www.wikinews.org, www.wikiversity.org, and www.wikivoyage.org portal pages now use an automated update system. [83]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 November. It will be on all wikis from 17 November (calendar).
- There will be a new link to directly "Edit template data" on Template pages. [84]
Future changes
- Wikis where mobile DiscussionTools are enabled (these ones) will soon use full CSS styling to display any templates that are placed at the top of talk pages. To adapt these “talk page boxes” for narrow mobile devices you can use media queries, such as in this example. [85]
- Starting in January 2023, Community Tech will be running the Community Wishlist Survey (CWS) every two years. This means that in 2024, there will be no new proposals or voting.

Notizie tecniche: 2022-48
Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- Nelle preferenze c'è una nuova opzione dell'aspetto Vector 2022 che permette di attivare o disattivare la modalità con larghezza limitata. La stessa preferenza si può facilmente reimpostare cliccando un pulsante che appare su ogni pagina quando si naviga con un monitor con una risoluzione di almeno 1600 pixel. Il pulsante può essere cliccato anche dagli utenti non registrati per aumentare la larghezza delle pagine. [86]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 29 novembre. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 30 novembre e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 1 dicembre (calendario).
- A causa di un cambio di database, due gruppi di wiki saranno in modalità di sola lettura per qualche minuto intorno alle 07:00 UTC rispettivamente il 29 novembre (primo gruppo) e il 1 dicembre (secondo gruppo).
- I browser che non supportano le formule matematiche in formato SVG non potranno più scaricarle in PNG. Il cambiamento è necessario per completare il passaggio a un sistema di nuova generazione. Fino a febbraio 2018 venivano mostrate solo le versioni in PNG. [87][88][89]
- Sulla pagina Speciale:Contributi di alcuni wiki che usano l'estensione FlaggedRevs ci sarà una nuova casella di spunta che permetterà di visualizzare solo le modifiche in sospeso di un utente. [90]
Modifiche future
- A partire dall'inizio della prossima settimana cambierà il modo in cui sono strutturati i media nell'output HTML del parser sui wiki del gruppo 1 (Wikimedia Commons e Meta-Wiki esclusi). La nuova struttura migliora l'accessibilità dei contenuti e facilita la scrittura di CSS. Alcuni CSS, script utente e accessori potrebbero necessitare di aggiornamenti. Scopri quali codici controllare/aggiornare e dove segnalare eventuali problemi. [91]

- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Wikidata:Wwwyzzerdd got an update where it now will try to predict good statements to add to Wikidata from Wikipedia articles.
- Writing SPARQL queries can be very challenging. You can find inspiration by browsing and searching in this dataset of 2,400 queries collected from Wikidata. (source)
- The French Wikipedia now uses a Wikidata-based list for the pages on specific dates, without relying on ListeriaBot. Who was born on a December 19th and has an article in French? You now can have the answer thanks to a Wikidata query by going to the page 1er décembre on frwiki and clicking on the infobox link "Naissances du jour". This is a link to a Wikidata list provided by the query service. The query is generated by the template fr:Modèle:Naissances un jour du mois. This follows another such template used to find all persons with a certain surname on frwiki, used on all surnames pages and on some disambiguation pages, fr:Modèle:Liste des personnes ou_personnages par prénom. For the surname Victor (Q539581) (view with Reasonator, SQID) this generates on the page w:fr:Victor_(prénom) a query such as this one.
- Wikidata now has more than 100,000,000 items! Exactly which item was the 100 millionth is unknown as of writing, but there are some clues for anyone who wants to dig into it.

Notizie tecniche: 2022-51
Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Notizie tecniche
- A causa delle festività, il prossimo numero delle edizioni tecniche uscirà il 9 gennaio 2023.
Modifiche recenti
- Sulla pagina dei contributi di un utente si può scegliere se visualizzare solo le modifiche a cui è stata applicata un'etichetta, ad esempio l'etichetta 'Annullato'. Ora è diventato possibile fare anche l'opposto, cioè scegliere se visualizzare solo le modifiche che non sono state etichettate così. Questa funzione era stata chiesta durante il Sondaggio 2022 dei desideri della comunità. [97]
- Gli sviluppatori degli accessori possono usare una nuova funzione per aggiungere elementi sotto il titolo delle voci. È considerata un'API stabile che dovrebbe essere compatibile con tutte le skin. Leggi la documentazione. [98]
- Uno dei nostri wiki di prova sarà servito da una nuova infrastruttura realizzata con Kubernetes (leggi maggiori informazioni). Altri wiki passeranno a questa nuova infrastruttura verso gli inizi del 2023. Incoraggiamo gli utenti a fare delle prove e segnalare eventuali problemi. [99]
Problemi
- La settimana scorsa tutti i wiki sono stati in modalità di sola lettura per 9 minuti a causa di un problema dei database. [100]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- Non ci saranno nuove versioni di MediaWiki questa settimana.
- La parola "Rispondi" è molto breve in alcune lingue fra cui l'arabo ("ردّ"). Ciò rende difficile cliccare il pulsante aggiunto dall'estensione Strumenti di discussione sulle pagine di discussione. Per risolvere sarà aggiunta l'icona di una freccia accanto al testo in quelle lingue. La novità sarà visibile solo ai volontari che hanno la funzione beta attiva nelle loro preferenze. [101] [102]
Modifiche future
- Il software MediaWiki e il sistema Gestione del filtro anti abusi possono applicare automaticamente delle "etichette" alle modifiche. Ciascuna etichetta rinvia a una pagina di aiuto che ne spiega lo scopo. Presto si potrà cliccare anche un link che permetterà di visualizzare su Speciale:UltimeModifiche altre modifiche a cui è stata applicata la stessa etichetta. Questa funzione era stata chiesta durante il Sondaggio 2022 dei desideri della comunità. [103]
- Il team Trust & Safety Tools ha pubblicato il nuovo programma per lo sviluppo di un sistema di segnalazione confidenziale degli incidenti. Il sistema aiuterà gli utenti a segnalare in modo facile e sicuro le molestie e altre forme di abuso.
- L'anteprima in tempo reale per il wikitesto smetterà di essere una funzione beta durante la settimana del 9 gennaio 2023. Diventerà una funzione predefinita e potrà essere attivata dalla barra degli strumenti dell'editor di wikitesto 2010. Questa funzione era il quarto desiderio più popolare del Sondaggio 2021 sui desideri della comunità.
Eventi
- Sono aperte le registrazioni al Wikimedia Hackathon 2023. L'evento si terrà dal 19 al 21 maggio ad Atene, in Grecia. È anche possibile fare domanda di borsa di studio fino al 14 gennaio.

- Fixed a bug in the language dropdown on Special:NewLexeme (phab:T324743)
- The Lemma of a Lexeme is now shown in the title of the revision history of the Lexeme as well (phab:T312660)
- Vector 2022 theme: worked on making the search on Wikidata work in this new theme. You can test it on test.wikidata.org now and next week on Wikidata. (phab:T316093)
- mul language code:
- Continued investigation around how to handle language fallbacks on mobile, which is a blocker for adding this language code (phab:T323098)
- Preventing the addition of descriptions for mul (phab:T313027)
- Constraint violations: Working on also showing them to non-logged in users (phab:T272132)

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- Le modifiche recenti e le modifiche agli osservati speciali si possono filtrare in base alle etichette. Adesso si può scegliere se nascondere le modifiche a cui è stata applicata una determinata etichetta. In precedenza si poteva solo scegliere se restringere la ricerca alle modifiche a cui l'etichetta era stata applicata. [104]
- Speciale:PuntanoQui mostra tutte le pagine che puntano a una determinata pagina. È stato preparato un prototipo che consente di visualizzare i risultati in ordine alfabetico. Maggiori informazioni nel task su Phabricator.
- È ora possibile usare la funzione Ringrazia anche sulla pagina degli osservati speciali e dei contributi utente. [105]
- Le pagine wiki si rinominano tramite spostamento. Su Speciale:Sposta è stato aggiunto un menu a discesa che permette di selezionare i motivi di spostamento più frequenti senza doverli scrivere ogni volta. [106]
- Matrix è uno strumento che consente agli utenti di comunicare. Nelle pagine wiki si possono aggiungere dei link a Matrix tramite il nuovo prefisso
matrix:
. [107] - I wiki multilingue hanno dei filtri su Speciale:UltimeModifiche che permettono di nascondere le traduzioni. I filtri non riguardavano le pagine di traduzione. Adesso è diventato possibile nascondere anche le modifiche alle sottopagine che sono pagine di traduzione. [108]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- L'anteprima in tempo reale del wikitesto è uno strumento che consente di visualizzare in tempo reale l'effetto delle modifiche che si fanno al wikitesto di una pagina. Lo strumento potrà essere usato da tutti gli utenti che usano l'editor di wikitesto del 2010. Il pulsante di attivazione sarà aggiunto nella barra degli strumenti dell'editor.
- A causa di un cambio di database, due gruppi di wiki saranno in modalità di sola lettura per qualche minuto intorno alle 07:00 UTC rispettivamente il 10 gennaio (primo gruppo) e il 12 gennaio (secondo gruppo).
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 10 gennaio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 11 gennaio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 12 gennaio (calendario).

Wikidata weekly summary #557
- Events
- A citation hunt program was organized for secondary school students at IIS School in Dubai as part of the 74th Republic Day celebration of India. 16 students participated, with different mother tongues and from different states of India living as expatriates in Dubai. The goal was to increase references for Wikidata statements based on research. The students were introduced to the importance of protecting India's history on the internet, and were taught how to edit Wikipedia and Wikidata. They were given a special event page on Wikidata with instructions and a list of Wikidata items to add citations to, and they searched for references in their textbooks and search engines to add to the Wikidata items.More details are given here.
- Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour January 30, 2023: The #1Lib1Ref campaign is afoot, so we will be working on adding references to Wikidata statements. We'll have some data for you to work with, but you're welcome to bring your own. We'll be mainly working with adding webpages as sources, but if you want to get experience using books or articles as sources, we recommend bringing some to the session to use as references for Wikidata items you have identified. You are, as always, welcome to bring your own project to work on Event page

Modifiche recenti
- Gli utenti sloggati che desiderano disattivare la modalità con larghezza limitata del tema Vector 2022 non dovranno più cliccare il pulsante per cambiare modalità ogni volta che visitano o ricaricano una pagina. La scelta sarà ricordata solo sui wiki dove Vector 2022 è il tema predefinito. [116]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 7 febbraio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 8 febbraio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 9 febbraio (calendario).
- Nei bollettini precedenti è stato annunciato in anticipo quando alcuni wiki sarebbero stati in modalità di sola lettura per via di un cambio dei database. Questo genere di annunci non sarà più fatto perché il periodo di sola lettura è diventato insignificante. I prossimi cambi avverranno di martedì e di giovedì alle 7:00 UTC. [117]
- Presto su tutti i wiki gli utenti registrati che usano il tema Vector 2022 visualizzeranno i link agli strumenti come "Puntano qui" in un nuovo menu laterale sulla destra dello schermo. Finora solo gli utenti sui progetti Wikipedia in lingua ceca, inglese e vietnamita hanno visualizzato questo nuovo menu. [118]
- Le proposte per il Sondaggio 2023 sui desideri della comunità saranno accettate fino alle 18:00 UTC di lunedì 6 febbraio 2023. I proponenti dovranno finire di apportare modifiche entro quell'ora per dare il tempo agli altri utenti di tradurre le loro proposte ed esaminarle. La votazione avrà inizio venerdì 10 febbraio.
Modifiche future
- Gli accessori e gli script utente si caricheranno di default sia sul sito desktop sia mobile. Attualmente si caricano solo sul sito desktop. Prima che il cambiamento avvenga, gli amministratori dovrebbero ricontrollare le definizioni degli accessori attivi sul loro wiki e reimpostare il parametro
skins=…
degli accessori da caricare solo su desktop. Leggi maggiori informazioni.

- Blogs
- In this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team, they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the Abstract Wikipedia updates might be worth to follow.)

- Il modulo deprecato
jquery.hoverIntent
è stato rimosso. Gli accessori e gli script utente lo potevano usare per ritardare artificialmente un codice JavaScript che doveva essere eseguito in risposta a un passaggio del mouse. Al suo posto possono essere usati i metodi JQueryhover()
oon()
. Leggi la guida e consulta gli esempi. [148] - Alcuni link in Speciale:PagineSpeciali saranno riorganizzati. I link che riguardano tutti gli utenti e quelli che riguardano solo l'utenza personale saranno divisi in modo più chiaro. [149]

Modifiche future
- Il software Vega con cui si creano grafici e altre visualizzazioni di dati nelle pagine sarà aggiornato all'ultima versione. I grafici realizzati con la sintassi della vecchia versione 1.5 potrebbero smettere di funzionare. La maggior parte è già stata aggiornata, ma chiunque voglia dare una mano a sistemare gli usi rimanenti e ad aggiornare le documentazioni sui wiki locali è il benvenuto. Guarda gli esempi su come trovare e correggere questi grafici.

- New requests for permissions/Bot:
- RPI2026F1Bot 7 (Add start time (P580) as qualifiers to subreddit (P3984))
- BotFunast (Task: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)

Notizie tecniche: 2023-19
Le ultime notizie tecniche dalla comunità tecnica di Wikimedia; per favore, avvisa gli altri utenti su questi cambiamenti. Non tutti i cambiamenti ti riguarderanno. Sono disponibili le traduzioni.
Modifiche recenti
- La settimana scorsa la community tech ha rilasciato il primo aggiornamento per esaudire la richiesta più popolare del Sondaggio 2022 sui desideri della comunità, ovvero migliorare i diff. L'aggiornamento aggiunge legende e tooltip ai diff in linea in modo da rendere più chiaro che tipo di modifiche sono state fatte agli utenti che non hanno familiarità con le evidenziazioni blu e gialle.
- Quando si chiude un'immagine visualizzata con MediaViewer, adesso si torna sempre alla pagina wiki dove si è aperta l'immagine. In precedenza si tornava indietro nella cronologia del browser. Questa modifica è stata la 65esima richiesta più popolare del Sondaggio 2023 sui desideri della comunità. [175]
- L'estensione SyntaxHighlight che implementa l'evidenziazione della sintassi permette ora di selezionare
wikitext
come linguaggio. Lo si può usare per evidenziare il wikitesto al posto delle vecchie alternative comehtml5
,moin
ehtml+handlebars
. [176] - È ora possibile precaricare il testo di un messaggio di sistema locale dell'interfaccia MediaWiki quando si crea una nuova pagina o sezione. Ad esempio su Wikipedia in ceco si può creare una nuova sezione precaricando il testo di MediaWiki:July con
preload=MediaWiki:July
. [177]
Problemi
- L'estensione Graph è stata aggiornata a Vega5. I grafici basati su Vega2 non sono più compatibili. Le comunità devono aggiornare i grafici e template locali, oltre che i moduli Lua condivisi come de:Modul:Graph. Leggi la guida alla migrazione di Vega e consulta gli esempi. Vega5 è stato appena attivato su mediawiki.org per fornire alle comunità uno spazio dove condurre test. [178]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 9 maggio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 10 maggio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 11 maggio (calendario).
- Finora tutte le app OAuth sono state sottoposte a revisione manuale. A partire dalla prossima settimana la revisione non sarà più necessaria per le app che si limitano a identificare l'utente o che richiedono i permessi per le sole operazioni di base. [179]
Modifiche future
- L'anno prossimo MediaWiki smetterà di identificare gli utenti anonimi con il loro indirizzo IP e assegnerà loro un nome utente univoco e temporaneo. Leggi maggiori informazioni e di' la tua sul formato di questi nomi utente. [180]
- Sarà fatto un test A/B su 10 Wikipedie il cui tema predefinito è Vector 2022. Metà degli utenti registrati che navigano sulla versione desktop di queste Wikipedie visualizzeranno un'interfaccia le cui parti si distinguono in modo più chiaro. Leggi maggiori informazioni. [181][182]
-
jquery.tipsy
sarà rimosso da MediaWiki. Molte delle righe di codice che contengono.tipsy(
negli script utente possono essere commentate. Al posto dijquery.tipsy
si può usareOO.ui.PopupWidget
. Leggi maggiori informazioni e scopri come trovare gli script rotti. [183]

Notizie tecniche: 2023-24
Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- Sulle edizioni di Wikipedia in lingua olandese, tedesca, ungherese, indonesiana, giapponese, polacca e portoghese si possono ora usare gli strumenti Chi l'ha scritto?, XTools Authorship e XTools Blame che servono quando si vuole trovare l'autore di un contenuto. Il supporto di questi strumenti ad altre lingue è stato la settima richiesta più popolare del Sondaggio 2023 sui desideri della comunità. [197]
- Il pannello Anteprima di ricerca è stato attivato nelle edizioni di Wikipedia in catalano, olandese, ungherese e norvegese. Quando si cerca una pagina con la ricerca interna, il pannello mostra un'immagine relativa alla voce (se esistente), le prime sezioni della voce, le immagini pertinenti (recuperate da MediaSearch su Commons) e i progetti fratelli associati alla voce. [198]
- Adesso l'estensione RealMe consente agli amministratori di contrassegnare gli URL in qualsiasi pagina come verificati per il software Mastodon e simili. [199]
- La licenza predefinita dei progetti è diventata ufficialmente la CC BY-SA 4.0. I messaggi di sistema sono stati aggiornati di conseguenza. Ogni comunità è libera di aggiornare anche i riferimenti alla vecchia licenza CC BY-SA 3.0 nelle linee guida e documentazioni varie. [200]
Problemi
- La settimana scorsa un bug ha provocato l'aggiunta involontaria della direttiva
__TOC__
in alcune delle pagine di Wikipedia che sono state modificate col VisualEditor o con gli Strumenti di discussione. Il bug si è verificato per tre giorni. C'è una lista di queste pagine ordinate per wiki che potrebbero contenere ancora la direttiva. [201] - Attualmente la funzione "Ordina questa pagina, in modo predefinito, come" nel VisualEditor non funziona. Inoltre laddove è già stata inserita la parola magica
{{DEFAULTSORT:...}}
appare erroneamente come un template mancante nel VisualEditor. Gli sviluppatori stanno cercando una soluzione al problema. Nel frattempo, si raccomanda di usare l'editor del wikitesto per reimpostare la chiave di ordinamento predefinita delle pagine. [202] - Un aggiornamento della settimana scorsa potrebbe aver rotto gli accessori e script utente che manipolano il modulo di cancellazione delle pagine. Il contenuto del campo delle motivazioni può essere manipolato (svuotato) sostituendo
#wpReason
con#wpReason > input
. Vedi esempio. [203]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 13 giugno. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 14 giugno e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 15 giugno (calendario).
- Il backend del VisualEditor sarà cambiato rispettivamente lunedì su Wikipedia inglese e giovedì su altri wiki grandi. Gli utenti non dovrebbero notare nessun cambiamento particolare, ma qualsiasi rallentamento o anomalia nell'utilizzo del VisualEditor potrà essere segnalata nel task su Phabricator linkato di seguito. [204]
Modifiche future
- Il team Security di Wikimedia Foundation sta raccogliendo pareri su una bozza di policy per la regolazione dell'uso di risorse di terze parti negli accessori e script utente sviluppati dai volontari. La consultazione è iniziata il 5 giugno e terminerà il 17 luglio. Si incoraggiano gli utenti a scrivere commenti e suggerimenti nella pagina di discussione della pagina Policy per le risorse di terze parti su Meta-wiki.

Notizie tecniche: 2023-25
Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- Sono ora disponibili i flame graph (grafici a fiamme) nel set di strumenti WikimediaDebug. [205][206]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- Non ci saranno nuove versioni di MediaWiki questa settimana.
- C'è un nuovo popup di ricerca nel VisualEditor. Appare quando si scrive
\
o si preme la combinazione di tastictrl + shift + p
. Serve ad accedere più rapidamente alla maggior parte degli strumenti presenti nella barra degli strumenti dell'editor. [207][208]

Notizie tecniche: 2023-26
Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- D'ora in avanti i moduli dell'Action API e la pagina Speciale:CercaCollegamenti restituiranno con un carattere
/
alla fine tutti i domini nudi nelle risposte alle chiamate conprop=extlinks
. Questo è uno dei cambiamenti che servono a rimuovere i duplicati nella tabellaexternallinks
del database. [209]
Problemi
- La settimana scorsa la funzione di ricerca non ha funzionato su Commons e Wikidata per 23 ore. [210][211]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 27 giugno. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 28 giugno e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 29 giugno (calendario).
- Il tema Minerva applicherà altri stili predefiniti alla classe CSS
.mbox-text
in modo da estendere il supporto ai template mbox realizzati coi div al posto delle tabelle. Gli utenti sono invitati ad assicurarsi che i nuovi stili non si applichino anche ad altri template sul loro wiki. [212][213] - D'ora in avanti gli accessori si caricheranno sempre sia sulla versione desktop del sito sia su quella per dispositivi mobili. In precedenza, gli accessori si caricavano di default solo sulla versione desktop. Il parametro
|targets=
in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition è deprecato. Al suo posto si potrà usare il parametro|skins=
per attivare o disattivare gli accessori a seconda del tema selezionato dall'utente. Gli accessori più popolari che provocheranno errori nei dispositivi mobili saranno disattivati dagli sviluppatori a tutti gli utenti che usano il tema Minerva come misura temporanea. [214] - Adesso tutte le tab dei namespace sono associate allo stesso tasto di accesso rapido in maniera predefinita. Prima era necessario impostare il tasto manualmente per i namespace personalizzati e quelli definiti dalle estensioni. [215]
- Il modulo di revisione dell'estensione Flagged Revisions è stato rifatto con le componenti dell'interfaccia utente standardizzate. [216]
Modifiche future
- Nelle prossime settimane cambierà il modo in cui sono strutturati i media nell'output HTML del parser sui wiki del gruppo 2. La nuova struttura migliora l'accessibilità dei contenuti. Alcuni CSS, script utente e accessori potrebbero avere bisogno di essere aggiornati. Scopri quali codici controllare/aggiornare e dove segnalare eventuali problemi. [217]

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- La funzione di suggerimento delle immagini per le sezioni è stata attivata sulle Wikipedie in lingua portoghese, russa, indonesiana, catalana, ungherese, finlandese e bokmål. La funzione suggerisce immagini che possano andare bene nelle sezioni delle voci che l'utente ha tra gli osservati speciali.
- I filtri anti abusi globali sono stati attivati su tutti i progetti Wikimedia, ad eccezione delle Wikipedie in lingua inglese e giapponese (che non ne hanno voluto usufruire). La decisione è stata presa a seguito di una richiesta di commenti globale. [220]
- Speciale:BlockedExternalDomains è un nuovo strumento che aiuta gli amministratori a combattere lo spam. Fornisce un'interfaccia più chiara per bloccare i domini (e i loro sottodomini), consente di trovare più facilmente i domini bloccati, e processa più velocemente le modifiche alle pagine. Non supporta le espressioni regolari, il match dei percorsi URL e MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist, ma per il resto sostituisce in buona parte le funzioni di MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. Può essere usato su tutti i wiki tranne Meta-Wiki, Commons e Wikidata (leggi la documentazione). C'è anche uno script Python con cui si possono migrare tutti i domini semplici in questo strumento. [221]
- L'estensione WikiEditor è stata aggiornata con l'aggiunta di alcune funzioni di modifica del wikitesto più utilizzate. Mentre in passato diversi messaggi dell'estensione potevano essere tradotti solo dagli amministratori, ora li possono tradurre tutti i volontari su translatewiki. I volontari sono invitati a verificare lo stato di localizzazione del WikiEditor nella loro lingua e a contribuire alla traduzione se è ancora incompleta. Leggi maggiori informazioni.
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 11 luglio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 12 luglio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 13 luglio (calendario).
- Il protocollo di comunicazione di Speciale:CercaCollegamenti e delle rispettive API è stato cambiato da HTTP a sia HTTP sia HTTPS. [222]
- D'ora in avanti Speciale:CercaCollegamenti e le rispettive API effettueranno la ricerca in base all'intero URL inserito. In precedenza, si basavano solo sui primi 60 caratteri. La richiesta di questa modifica risale a quindici anni fa. [223]
Modifiche future
- Esiste un plugin di ChatGPT ancora in fase sperimentale che serve a mostrare agli utenti da dove provengono le informazioni che leggono quando ChatGPT gli risponde ricavando le informazioni da Wikipedia. Il plugin è stato testato dallo staff di Wikimedia Foundation e da altri Wikimediani. Presto sarà disponibile a tutti gli utenti che usano i plugin di ChatGPT. Lo stesso plugin è stato menzionato nelle Notizie tecniche 2023/20. [224]
- È in corso una discussione sulla proposta di una policy per l'uso di risorse di terze parti negli accessori e script utente. In base alle idee ricevute finora, la policy menzionerà alcuni rischi che si corrono caricando accessori e script utente che usano risorse di terze parti; inoltre illustrerà alcune best practices e criteri di esenzione come la trasparenza e l'ispezionabilità del codice. Altre idee e suggerimenti saranno più che i benvenuti fino al 17 luglio 2023 nella pagina di discussione della policy.

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- L'1% del traffico degli utenti è ora servito da Kubernetes (per saperne di più). Questa percentuale sarà aumentata progressivamente. Segui lo stato di avanzamento dei lavori.
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 18 luglio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 19 luglio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 20 luglio (calendario).
- I messaggi di sistema di MediaWiki sono mostrati in una lingua di ripiego quando manca la traduzione nella lingua dell'utente. Il messaggio nella lingua di ripiego che è modificato a livello locale avrà la precedenza rispetto a quello predefinito nel software. In questo modo i wiki non dovranno più creare una pagina per ogni lingua nella sequenza di ripiego. Ad esempio, Wikipedia in inglese non dovrà più transcludere la versione locale di una pagina base nelle sottopagine
en-ca
een-gb
per evitare che il software ripieghi sulla sua versione predefinita. Il nuovo meccanismo semplifica la manutenzione dei messaggi locali. [225] - L'API
action=growthsetmentorstatus
sarà deprecata con la nuova versione di MediaWiki. I bot e gli script possono usare l'APIaction=growthmanagementorlist
al suo posto. [226]

Modifiche recenti
- Come parte del programma per migliorare l'elaborazione dei paragrafi nei diff, sta venendo distribuita una versione migliore del sistema di rilevamento delle modifiche che dividono i contenuti in più paragrafi. Nelle scorse due settimane il nuovo sistema è stato distribuito nei wiki del gruppo 0 e del gruppo 1. Questa settimana sarà distribuito nei wiki del gruppo 2. [245]
- È ora possibile leggere nella pagina Speciale:Contributi di un utente sia il numero di modifiche che ha fatto sul wiki sia la data di creazione della sua utenza. [246]
- Su Wikisource è ora possibile indicare i caratteri della valuta del Bangladesh come numeri di pagina nel tag
<pagelist>
impostando l'opzioneprpbengalicurrency
. [247] - Sono state spostate due preferenze. Adesso la preferenza "Abilita l'editor visuale" appare nel tab "Casella di modifica" su tutti i wiki. In precedenza c'erano alcuni wiki dove appariva nel tab "Funzioni beta". La preferenza "Utilizza la modalità wikitesto all'interno dell'editor visivo, anziché un diverso editor wikitesto" è stata invece spostata dal tab "Funzioni beta" nel tab "Casella di modifica" su tutti wiki. [248][249]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 29 agosto. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 30 agosto e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 31 agosto (calendario).
- Le nuove registrazioni degli account Wikimedia per gli sviluppatori inizieranno a essere gestite su idm.wikimedia.org anziché Wikitech. Leggi maggiori informazioni sul nuovo sistema.
- Su tutti i wiki contenenti sistemi di scrittura che procedono da destra a sinistra, nonché sulle Wikipedie in lingua coreana, armena, ucraina, russa e bulgara, sarà aggiunto un link nella barra laterale che permetterà di ottenere rapidamente tramite Wikimedia URL Shortener un URL abbreviato della pagina visitata. La stessa funzione sarà attivata anche su altri wiki nelle prossime settimane. [250]
Modifiche future
- Si sta discutendo la disinstallazione dell'estensione DoubleWiki. L'estensione consente agli utenti di Wikisource di visualizzare due edizioni linguistiche di una pagina l'una accanto all'altra cliccando uno dei simboli

Notizie tecniche: 2023-37
Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- Il servizio di valutazione delle revisioni ORES è ora ospitato su una nuova infrastruttura open source su cui si appoggiano tutti i wiki, ad eccezione di Wikipedia in inglese e Wikidata che saranno integrate entro questa settimana. Si invitano gli utenti a segnalare qualsiasi comportamento insolito dei filtri ORES delle ultime modifiche (cioè ad esempio i filtri sotto la categoria "Previsioni sulla qualità del contributo" o "Previsioni delle intenzioni dell'utente"). [258]
- Quando un utente visita un wiki Wikimedia dopo aver effettuato l'accesso su un altro wiki, il sistema prova ad autenticarlo automaticamente per non fargli ripetere l'accesso. Siccome a volte l'autenticazione automatica fallisce, è ora possibile forzare un secondo tentativo visitando la pagina di accesso. Lascia un commento e scrivi se pensi che così facendo l'autenticazione crosswiki sia migliorata o peggiorata. [259]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 12 settembre. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 13 settembre e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 14 settembre (calendario).
- Il team Technical Decision-Making Forum Retrospective invita tutti gli utenti che contribuiscono all'area tecnica dei progetti Wikimedia a iscriversi e a partecipare a una delle sessioni di ascolto che si terrà il 13 settembre. Si organizzerà anche un'altra sessione più in là. L'obiettivo di queste iniziative è migliorare i processi decisionali tecnici.
- Come parte del programma per realizzare il desiderio della comunità di migliorare la gestione dei paragrafi nei diff, entro questa settimana sarà aggiunto un pulsante toggle nelle pagine dei diff di tutti i wiki. Il pulsante permetterà agli utenti di passare dalla visualizzazione dei diff in due colonne a una visualizzazione unificata e viceversa. [260]
Modifiche future
- Tutti i wiki saranno in modalità di sola lettura per alcuni minuti il 20 settembre intorno alle 14:00 UTC. Maggiori informazioni saranno inserite fra le notizie tecniche e pubblicate sui singoli wiki nelle prossime settimane. [261]
- Il servizio API Enterprise di Wikimedia sta lanciando la nuova funzione "breaking news". È attualmente in BETA e serve a individuare in tempo reale gli argomenti "degni di nota" di cui si sta scrivendo su una qualsiasi Wikipedia. Gli utenti possono dare una mano a migliorarne l'accuratezza suggerendo template o pattern di modifica peculiari. È richiesto soprattutto l'aiuto degli utenti delle Wikipedie più piccole. Leggi maggiori informazioni nella pagina di documentazione su MediaWiki o nelle FAQ su Meta.

Modifiche recenti
- Gli utenti non loggati non dovranno più reimpostare la visibilità dell'indice del tema Vector 2022 ogni volta che cambiano pagina del sito. [266]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 26 settembre. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 27 settembre e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 28 settembre (calendario).
- I moduli
mediawiki.ui
del ResourceLoader sono stati deprecati in favore del passaggio a Vue.js e Codex. Leggi la guida su come aggiornare gli strumenti che usano MediaWiki UI a Codex. C'è anche un task su Phabricator dove puoi trovare maggiori informazioni e fare domande. - La pagina di definizione degli accessori supporterà la nuova opzione "namespaces". L'opzione può ricevere in input uno o più ID dei namespace. Gli accessori che saranno configurati con questa opzione si caricheranno solo nei namespace specificati.
Modifiche future
- Il filtro anti abusi avrà due nuove variabili:
global_account_groups
eglobal_account_editcount
. I filtri le potranno leggere quando qualcuno prova a creare una nuova utenza sul wiki. Servono a evitare che si impediscano involontariamente le creazioni di account automatiche: quando gli utenti che hanno già fatto molte modifiche a livello globale visitano altri wiki per la prima volta, la loro utenza locale potrà essere creata automaticamente senza che i filtri lo impediscano per errore. [267][268]
Incontri
- Partecipa al prossimo incontro coi team di sviluppo delle app per dispositivi mobili di Wikipedia. Si discuterà delle funzioni attuali delle app e dei piani per il futuro. L'incontro si terrà il 27 ottobre alle 17:00 UTC. Leggi maggiori informazioni e scopri come partecipare.

Welcome to the 600th Wikidata Weekly Summary!
- Welcome to the 600th Weekly Summary!
Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ --Mohammed
- Item #600 Ichiro Suzuki; Property #600 is Wine AppDB ID; and Lexeme #600 is the Japanese conjugation だから
- 600 in the multiverse: as a year (another year), a number, a category, a track gauge, a jet, an asteroid, an auto race, a genetic element, a death, a birth, a TV serie, a car, a galaxy, a sport discipline, a radio telescope, an engine, a polygon, a film, a GPU, a photolithography, and many more…
- Timeline of places when they had a population of exactly 600
- Map of things at an altitude of 600 m
- List of items with an external ID equal to 600
- Wikidata was 600 days old on Wednesday 11 June 2014. It will be 600 weeks old on Monday 9 August 2027
- WikidataCon happened over the weekend
- Birthday wishes from the community, and a special note from the Wikidata development team at Wikimedia Deutschland below:
«Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.
There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉
Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all.
And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me.
Lydia for the development team»

- 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. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)

Notizie tecniche: 2024-03
Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- D'ora in poi, le pagine basate sul modello di contenuto JSON si autoindenteranno col carattere tab al posto dello spazio. In questo modo la loro dimensione diminuirà drasticamente. [318]
- È ora possibile usare la sintassi JavaScript delle edizioni ES6 (o "ES2015") ed ES7 (o "ES2016") negli accessori e script personali degli utenti. MediaWiki valida il codice sorgente sia per proteggere le altre funzionalità del sito dagli errori di sintassi, sia per controllare che gli script siano eseguibili da tutti i browser supportati. In precedenza, la sintassi ES6 si poteva usare negli accessori attivando l'opzione
requiresES6
. Adesso l'opzione è deprecata. [319] - È ora possibile configurare le password dei bot e i client OAuth personali affinché consentano la modifica solo di alcune pagine. [320]
- È ora possibile inviare ringraziamenti per le modifiche fatte da bot. [321]
- È stato pubblicato un aggiornamento sul futuro del Sondaggio sui desideri della comunità nel 2024! Si invitano gli utenti a lasciare un commento.
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 16 gennaio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 17 gennaio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 18 gennaio (calendario). [322][323]
- A partire dal 17 gennaio gli utenti che usano alcune vecchie versioni del browser Chrome (versioni 51-66 rilasciate negli anni 2016-2018) non riusciranno più ad accedere alla propria utenza sui wiki Wikimedia. Gli utenti di iOS 12 e di Safari su Mac OS 10.14 potrebbero invece dover ripetere l'accesso su ciascun wiki che visitano. [324]
- L'anno scorso è stato deprecato l'uso del modulo
jquery.cookie
a favore del modulomediawiki.cookie
. Adesso è stato eseguito uno script che ha completato le sostituzioni automaticamente. Il modulojquery.cookie
sarà rimosso da MediaWiki entro questa settimana. [325]
Modifiche future
- Wikimedia Deutschland sta provando a semplificare il modo in cui si riutilizzano le note. Si cercano utenti disposti a partecipare a videochiamate individuali tra gennaio e febbraio per aiutare gli sviluppatori a capire cosa può essere migliorato.

Notizie tecniche: 2024-06
Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.
Modifiche recenti
- L'HTML delle cronologie nella versione mobile del sito è stato reso uniforme a quello nella versione desktop. Chiunque dovesse riscontrare problemi con le cronologie nella versione mobile può segnalarli su Phabricator.
- Gli amministratori della maggior parte dei wiki possono ora impostare i blocchi in modo tale che all'utente siano impedite solo una o più delle seguenti azioni: caricamento dei file, creazione di nuove pagine, spostamento (rinomina) delle pagine, invio delle notifiche di ringraziamento. La novità è stata introdotta per consentire agli amministratori di applicare blocchi adeguati alla problematicità degli utenti bloccati. Leggi maggiori informazioni. [334][335]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 6 febbraio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 7 febbraio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 8 febbraio (calendario). [336][337]
- I permalink alle pagine di discussione non funzionavano correttamente se il loro URL conteneva diacritici e/o caratteri non latini. Il problema è stato risolto. [338]
Modifiche future
- Al fine di rendere uniforme l'aspetto delle note sui vari wiki, si raccomanda di non farle generare di default all'accessorio Reference Tooltips bensì ad Anteprima note (una funzione di MediaWiki). 24 progetti Wikipedia che hanno impostato Reference Tooltips come un accessorio attivo di default sono incoraggiati a rimuovere il flag "default" dalle impostazioni dell'accessorio. Su altri 46 progetti Wikipedia che hanno meno di 4 amministratori dell'interfaccia questa modifica sarà fatta dal team Technical Wishes verso metà febbraio, salvo che non emergano obiezioni. L'accessorio Reference Tooltips (che è più vecchio dell'estensione Anteprima note) potrà comunque essere attivato ancora da ciascun utente nelle proprie preferenze. [339][340]

Modifiche recenti
- Su alcuni wiki l'editor visuale per i dispositivi mobili è diventato l'editor che si apre di default a tutti gli utenti della versione mobile che non hanno ancora pubblicato nessuna modifica. Le ricerche condotte finora dimostrano che gli utenti che usano questo editor pubblicano più modifiche, ma d'altra parte le stesse sono annullate un po' più frequentemente. Gli utenti che usano l'editor del wikitesto sulla versione desktop visualizzeranno l'editor del wikitesto anche quando proveranno a fare una modifica sulla versione mobile per la prima volta. [355]
- D'ora in avanti la variabile
wgGlobalGroups
nell'oggetto mw.config elencherà solo i gruppi che sono attivi nel wiki. Gli script non dovranno più fare una chiamata API per controllare se un determinato gruppo è attivo. Di seguito viene riportato un esempio di come può essere ora eseguito il controllo:if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups")))
[356]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 27 febbraio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 28 febbraio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 29 febbraio (calendario). [357][358]
Modifiche future
- Il diritto utente che permette di cambiare le etichette applicate alle modifiche (

Modifiche recenti
- È stata rimossa da tutti i wiki Wikisource la pagina
Special:Book
(così come la funzione "Crea un libro" a essa associata) che aveva smesso di funzionare. La pagina era implementata dalla vecchia estensione Collection. Gli utenti possono ancora scaricare i normali libri grazie all'estensione Wikisource. [359] - D'ora in avanti le pagine nel namespace Discussione del sito Wikitech saranno generate col parser del wikitesto Parsoid di nuova generazione. Si prega di segnalare qualsiasi problema nella pagina di discussione associata alla pagina Problemi noti. Ciascun utente può provare il nuovo parser grazie alle opzioni dell'estensione ParserMigration. Leggi la documentazione di aiuto di ParserMigration per maggiori informazioni.
- È stata completata la manutenzione di etherpad. Si prega di segnalare eventuali problemi in questo task di Phabricator.
- L'estensione Gadgets consente agli amministratori dell'interfaccia di creare funzioni custom col CSS e JavaScript. Sono stati rimossi i namespace
Gadget
eGadget_definition
, nonché il permesso utentegadgets-definition-edit
, che erano stati introdotti nel 2015 per un esperimento. I due namespace non erano mai stati usati pur essendo visibili in Speciale:Ricerca e Speciale:ElencoPermessiGruppi. La loro rimozione non ha comportato né spostamenti di pagine né modifiche di altro tipo. [360] - Per migliorare l'usabilità della funzione "Aggiungi citazione" è stato spostato il pulsante di inserimento della citazione nell'elemento header del popup. [361]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 5 marzo. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 6 marzo e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 7 marzo (calendario). [362][363]
Modifiche future
- Tutti i wiki saranno in modalità di sola lettura per alcuni minuti il 20 marzo intorno alle 14:00 UTC. Maggiori informazioni saranno inserite fra le notizie tecniche e pubblicate sui singoli wiki nelle prossime settimane. [364]
- Il markup HTML delle intestazioni e dei link di modifica delle sezioni cambierà nel corso dell'anno migliorando l'accessibilità. Leggi maggiori informazioni. Il nuovo markup sarà allineato con quello del nuovo parser del wikitesto Parsoid. È possibile testare la compatibilità degli accessori e dei fogli di stile col nuovo markup aggiungendo
?useparsoid=1
all'URL della pagina (per saperne di più) oppure attivando il nuovo parser nelle preferenze (per saperne di più).

- Sentiti i pareri di diverse comunità, il valore predefinito dell'interlinea di testo nel tema Minerva è stato riportato a 1.65. Ciascun utente può comunque personalizzare le impostazioni del testo nel menu della versione mobile del sito. [367]
- Il colore dei link attivi di Minerva sarà allineato a quello impostato su altre piattaforme Wikimedia e previsto dalle nostre buone pratiche di design. [368]
- Structured data on Commons will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost. [369]
Modifiche future
- Tutti i wiki saranno in modalità di sola lettura per alcuni minuti il 20 marzo intorno alle 14:00 UTC. Maggiori informazioni saranno inserite fra le notizie tecniche e pubblicate sui singoli wiki nelle prossime settimane. [370][371]

Modifiche recenti
- I browser possono installare componenti aggiuntivi chiamati estensioni. C'è una nuova estensione di Chrome chiamata Citation Needed che permette di vedere se una frase online è supportata da una voce di Wikipedia. Attualmente l'estensione può essere installata solo nel browser Chrome in inglese, ed è un piccolo esperimento volto a capire se Wikipedia può essere usata in un simile modo.
- È stata aggiunta una nuova funzione su tutti i wiki chiamata Ripristino modifica. La funzione si può attivare nelle preferenze utente e memorizza automaticamente nel browser le modifiche che non sono ancora state pubblicate. Se si riapre una finestra dopo averla chiusa per errore o dopo che il computer è crashato, si avrà la possibilità di recuperare il testo della modifica in sospeso. Lascia un commento sulla pagina di discussione del progetto. Lo sviluppo di questa funzione era il desiderio #8 del Sondaggio 2023 sui desideri della comunità.
- Sono stati pubblicati i risultati iniziali dei test di Edit Check, un nuovo strumento che migliora l'editor visuale. Edit Check è stato attivato di default su tutti i wiki dove è stato testato. Le comunità possono chiedere che il loro wiki sia uno dei prossimi che otterranno la funzione. [388][389]
- I lettori che usano il tema Minerva sui dispositivi mobili noteranno che è stata migliorata l'interlinea di tutte le impostazioni tipografiche. [390]
Modifiche di questa settimana
- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 9 aprile. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 10 aprile e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 11 aprile (calendario). [391][392]

- La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 16 aprile. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 17 aprile e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 18 aprile (calendario). [396][397]
- D'ora in avanti la chiave d'ordine delle categorie predefinita avrà effetto anche sulle categorie aggiunte tramite template nelle note a pie' di pagina. In precedenza le note a pie' di pagina usavano il titolo della pagina come chiave d'ordine predefinita anche quando ne veniva impostata un'altra (al contrario, le chiavi d'ordine impostate per ciascuna categoria specifica hanno sempre funzionato correttamente). [398]
- Sarà aggiunta una nuova variabile nei filtri anti abusi. Si chiamerà
page_last_edit_age
e indicherà quanti secondi sono passati dall'ultima volta che è stata modificata ciascuna pagina. [399]
Modifiche future
- Gli sviluppatori volontari sono pregati gentilmente di aggiornare il codice degli strumenti e delle funzionalità che hanno sviluppato in modo che supportino gli account temporanei. Leggi maggiori informazioni.
- Quattro campi del database saranno rimossi dalle repliche (compreso Quarry). Le tabelle interessate sono solo
abuse_filter
eabuse_filter_history
. Alcune query potrebbero non funzionare più se non vengono aggiornate. [400]
