기술 소식: 2023년 29주
[편집]위키미디어 기술 커뮤니티의 최신 기술 소식. 이러한 변경 사항에 대해 다른 사용자에게 알려주십시오. 모든 변경 사항이 여러분에게 영향을 미치는 것은 아닙니다. 번역이 가능합니다.
최근 변경 사항
- 이제 우리는 쿠버네티스에서 전체 글로벌 사용자 트래픽의 1%를 제공하고 있습니다(자세한 기술 세부 정보를 읽을 수 있음). 이 비율을 정기적으로 높일 계획입니다. 이 작업의 진행 상황을 확인할 수 있습니다.
이번 주 이후의 변경 사항
- 미디어위키의 새 버전은 7월 18일부터 테스트 위키와 MediaWiki.org에 있을 것입니다. 7월 19일부터 비-위키백과 위키와 일부 위키백과에 있을 것입니다. 7월 20일(달력)부터 모든 위키에 있을 것입니다.
- 미디어위키 시스템 메시지는 이제 항상 소프트웨어에 의해 정의된 기본 폴백을 사용하는 대신 사용 가능한 로컬 폴백을 찾습니다. 이는 위키가 더 이상 대체 체인의 각 언어를 개별적으로 무시할 필요가 없음을 의미합니다. 예를 들어 영어 위키백과에서는 더 이상 기본 페이지를 포함하는
en-ca
및en-gb
하위 페이지를 만들 필요가 없습니다. 이렇게 하면 로컬 재정의를 더 쉽게 유지할 수 있습니다. [1] -
action=growthsetmentorstatus
API는 새 미디어위키 버전에서 더 이상 사용되지 않습니다. 해당 API를 호출하는 봇 또는 스크립트는 이제action=growthmanagementorlist
API를 사용해야 합니다. [2]

For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings. [114][115]

- The mobile visual editor is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis. Research shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits.

- The active link color in Minerva will be changed to provide more consistency with our other platforms and best practices. [143]
- 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. [144]
