Tech News: 2024-39

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

  • All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday September 25 at 15:00 UTC. Reading the wikis will not be interrupted, but editing will be paused. These twice-yearly processes allow WMF's site reliability engineering teams to remain prepared to keep the wikis functioning even in the event of a major interruption to one of our data centers.

Updates for editors

  • Editors who use the iOS Wik.ipedia.Pro app in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Chinese, may see the after editing an article, or completing a suggested edit using "". Alt-text helps people with visual impairments to read Wik.ipedia.Pro articles. The team aims to learn if adding alt-text to images is a task that editors can be successful with. Please share any feedback on .
  • The Codex color palette has been updated with new and revised colors for the MediaWiki user interfaces. The most noticeable changes for editors include updates for: dark mode colors for Links and for quiet Buttons (progressive and destructive), visited Link colors for both light and dark modes, and background colors for system-messages in both light and dark modes.
  • Advanced item It is now possible to include clickable wikilinks and external links inside code blocks. This includes links that are used within <syntaxhighlight> tags and on code pages (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto and Sanitized CSS). Uses of template syntax {{…}} are also linked to the template page. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [1]
  • Two bugs were fixed in the GlobalVanishRequest system by improving the logging and by removing an incorrect placeholder message. [2][3]
  • View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item From Wikimedia Enterprise:
    • The API now enables 5,000 on-demand API requests per month and twice-monthly HTML snapshots freely (gratis and libre). More information on the updates and also improvements to the software development kits (SDK) are explained on the project's blog post. While Wikimedia Enterprise APIs are designed for high-volume commercial reusers, this change enables many more community use-cases to be built on the service too.
    • The Snapshot API (html dumps) have added beta Structured Contents endpoints (blog post on that) as well as released two beta datasets (English and French Wik.ipedia.Pro) from that endpoint to Hugging Face for public use and feedback (blog post on that). These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.

In depth

  • Advanced item The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) is used to get answers to questions using the Wikidata data set. As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the WDQS Graph Split project, we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the "scholarly" and "main" subgraphs of Wikidata. The query.wikidata.org endpoint will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph. For more information, please see the announcement on Wikidata.

signature lints

Hello. I hope you are doing well. After Qwerfjkl (bot) 31, I am wondering, how do you create page list for pywikibot script? —usernamekiran (talk) 16:23, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usernamekiran, for that I used:
parsed_data = parse_text_file(file_path)
titles=[]

for entry in parsed_data:
    gen = pagegenerators.SearchPageGenerator(entry['search_url'], site=site)
    print(f"Searching for {entry['search_url']}")
    for title in gen:
        titles.append(title)
titles = list(set(titles))
print(len(titles))
Using a text file that I created manually — Qwerfjkltalk 17:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thanks, this is appreciated a lot. One more silly question: how many cases are you going to handle? The list at Wik.ipedia.Pro:Linter/Signature submissions looks pretty big. I am happy to help. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:32, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Usernamekiran, I just copy & pasted all the ones that hand replacements into a text file (about 40, I think). — Qwerfjkltalk 06:17, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
dang. Let me know if some task comes up. I would be happy to help. —usernamekiran (talk) 14:13, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Usernamekiran, I was thinking of making a website to make submissions easier. A lot of linter errors are repeated, and we can use parsoid to verify the output text has no lint errors.
Currently I'm working on something like toolforge:yabbr but for bare URLs. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:02, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
that sounds interesting. let me know if I can contribute in some way. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Usernamekiran, For the latter, I have a not-so-working demo at https://abba.toolforge.org/. I'm probably going to be busy in real life for the next few weeks, so I'm more than happy to share the code if you want to play around with it (I should probably publish the code anyway, but oh well). — Qwerfjkltalk 20:23, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Jhendy97 (21:37, 25 September 2024)

Is my Wik.ipedia.Pro page up for review right now? I’m not to sure if I submitted properly. I am a professional hockey player and I would like to have mine available for the public to see --Jhendy97 (talk) 21:37, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jhendy97, I suggest reading Wik.ipedia.Pro:Autobiography. It is strongly discouraged here to write about yourself. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:56, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mass RM CfD

How do users mass rename CfD properly? Because when nominating, it lacks the title I want to change them into. --MikutoH talk! 01:21, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MikutoH, when you're listing the titles, use | followed by the title you want to rename them to, e.g. Category:Example|Category:Target — Qwerfjkltalk 17:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
