Images near items - helps to find Wikimedia Commons images near Wikidata items without image. It can load a category tree of Commons images with coodrinates, and then find Wikidata items of a certain P31 with coordinates but without images. Then, it will try to find nearby (<50 meters) pairs. (example link for UK red phone booths)
Top scorer (This property is for the best scorer of a single season of a team sport's competition, or even for the best ever scorer of the history of a competition. The qualifiers to be admitted to this property should be: {{p|54}}; {{p|1532}}; {{p|1013}} (es.: goals / tries / points / etc ).)
EntitySchemas: We expanded the new datatype that is in testing. When a statement links to an EntitySchema it will now show its label when available (phab:T338613). We are also working on showing them by their label in recent changes and similar places (phab:T214885).
mul language code: we are working on improving the termbox to integrate this new language code better (phab:T340644)
Mismatch Finder: We are working on adding a language selector to it so you can switch the language of the tool (phab:T328149)
Wikibase REST API: We completed two new endpoint for the Wikibase REST API:
Retrieve all statements from a Property - /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements
Retrieve a single statement from a Property - /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements/{statement_id}
You can also retrieve a single statement from a Property from the existing /statements/{statement_id} endpoint

최근 변경 사항
동기장치 도구를 사용하여 글로벌 루아 모듈 및 템플릿을 개발하기 위한 업데이트된 문서와 함께 위키미디어 위키에서 루아 모듈을 동기화된 상태로 유지할 수 있습니다.
이제 특수:새문서 및 개정 내역 페이지의 태그 필터를 반전할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어 자동화 도구를 사용하여 편집한 내용을 숨길 수 있습니다. [1][2]
위키백과 ChatGPT 플러그인 실험은 이제 플러그인을 사용할 수 있는 ChatGPT 사용자가 사용할 수 있습니다. 이 실험이나 유사한 작업에 대해 이야기하고 싶다면 화상 통화에 참여할 수 있습니다. [3]
문제점
지난 2주 동안 제목에 비라틴 문자가 포함된 페이지의 PDF를 생성할 수 없었습니다. 이제 이 문제가 해결되었습니다. [4]
이번 주 이후의 변경 사항
새 버전의 미디어위키는 8월 1일부터 테스트 위키와 MediaWiki.org에서 사용할 수 있습니다. 8월 2일부터 위키백과가 아닌 위키와 일부 위키백과에 있을 것입니다. 8월 3일(달력)부터 매주 진행됩니다.

We shared our annual plan, for the period July 2023 - June 2024.
Our first project of the year will be Community configuration 2.0, which helps editors with extended rights transparently and easily configure important on-wiki functionality.
After we finish work on Community configuration 2.0, we will hope to fit in one of the following projects:
Article creation: This project aims to provide new editors with better guidance and guardrails in the article creation process, with the intention of lightening the load of new page reviewers.
Non-editing participation: This project aims to create low-risk ways for readers to participate in Wikipedia with the intention of funneling more readers into contributing to the Wikimedia movement.
Suggested Edits are now receiving topic predictions via the new Language-Agnostic Topic Classification. This change affects non-English Wikipedia wikis. It will ensure newcomers receive a greater diversity of task recommendations. Before, as this feature was a test, English Wikipedia was used to select topics. The change is gradual as lists of topics are refreshed when they become empty. The Research team will evaluate the impact in a few months. [6]
Starting on August 1, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link": Georgian Wikipedia, Kara-Kalpak Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Kabardian Wikipedia, Kabiyè Wikipedia, Kikuyu Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Khmer Wikipedia, Kannada Wikipedia, Kashmiri Wikipedia, Colognian Wikipedia, Kurdish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia.
The Growth team provides dedicated features to establish a mentorship program for newcomers. Every newcomer gets a volunteer mentor who provides encouragement and answers questions. Communities can set up or join this mentorship system by visiting Special:ManageMentors. This mentorship system is configurable by the community at Special:EditGrowthConfig.
More communities have implemented mentorship. A Wikimedia Foundation data scientist will be looking at the impact of Mentorship. We will look at the impact on Spanish and English Wikipedia. [7]
The Growth team will also host a Mentoring new editors on Wikipedia session at Wikimania 2023 in Singapore. Workshop attendees will help brainstorm improvements to Growth’s mentorship features.
We will share more complete experiment analysis for all the three parts of the Positive reinforcement project soon. At the moment, the new Impact module, Leveling up, and Personalized praise are still being A/B tested on the Growth team's pilot wikis.
In the meantime, initial leading indicators for the Personalized praise project have been published. Although this is still a relatively small sample, results seem healthy. They show that Mentors are indeed receiving notifications and clicking through to view their praise-worthy mentees.
The Growth team is currently focusing on IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation. It is a project that touches many different Wikimedia Foundation teams. The Growth team will focus on temporary accounts through two main points:
the user experience of a logged-out user, that switches to a temporary account,
change Growth-owned extensions and features, so that they work as expected with temporary accounts. [8]

Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour August 18, 2023: Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The first Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover creating a bibliography of diverse LIS articles and books. We will generate a spreadsheet of sources ready for use during subsequent Working Hours. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page. Event page

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
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
Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.
Wikidata’s world - map of Wikidata Items with a geocoordinate
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.
List of presents gathered by the community for Wikidata's eleventh birthday
Luthor is a multi-lingual tool for adding usage examples to lexemes on Wikidata, from sentences found on Wikisource in the same language. (by Asaf Bartov)
সংকলক একটি সরঞ্জাম যেটা দিয়ে উইকিসংকলনের লেখাগুলির উইকিউপাত্ত আইটেম অনুসারে সে লেখাগুলিকে উন্নত ভাবে অনুসন্ধান করা যায়। - Sangkalak is a tool with which Wikisource works can be searched more readily, using the Wikidata items for those works. (present from Mahir256) (by মাহির২৫৬-এর উপহার)
Creating new Lexemes? For a lot more languages you now no longer need to provide a spelling variant when creating a new Lexeme, making it even easier to contribute data about words in your language. (present from the development team)
The Mismatch Finder, the tool to help review mismatches between Wikidata and other data sources now also has support for mismatches on qualifiers. This allows it to be useful also for issues that are in the data in qualifiers. (present from the development team)
Upcoming: Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group call October 31, 2023: We will hear from Darnelle Melvin, Cory Lampert, and Andre Hulet, University of Nevada-Las Vegas Libraries, on WireframeVG: A Search and Discovery Application for Wikidata Projects. Agenda

Notable People is a map project by Topi Tjukanov that showing birthplaces of the most "notable people" around the world. It uses the combined data of Wikipedia and Wikidata from the paper's "a cross-verified database of notable people, 3500 BC-2018 AD" by Morgane Laouenan, Palaash Bhargava, Jean-Benoît Eyméoud, Olivier Gergaud, Guillaume Plique & Etienne Wasmer. The data shows only one person for each unique geographic location with the highest notability rank.
Wikimedia Research Fund Update update. "You can apply for research funds (USD 2K-50K) until December 15, 2023. While all research proposals related to Wikimedia projects are welcome, we particularly encourage research studies on medium to small size languages and communities, as well as in low resourced languages and projects."
The Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects team is investigating the different ways Wikidata is used in the sister projects. We would like to speak with you about your experiences integrating or connecting Wikidata, if you'd like to tell us, please sign up for an interview on our project page or on our Registration Form.

The Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving UploadWizard on Commons, made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work (T347590), as well as to the licensing step for own work (T347756).
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [56][57]
Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [58]
Upcoming: Data Modelling Days, November 30-December 2. You can propose a session until November 19. If you are running another event or meetup and would like to connect it to the Data Modelling Days, you can add it to the satellite events section.

Development
Wikibase REST API:
We have implemented the endpoints for PATCH /entities/items/{item_id}/aliases (phab:T337371), PATCH /entities/properties/{property_id}/aliases (phab:T342982) and PATCH /entities/properties/{property_id}/labels (phab:T342980)
We started working on the new endpoints for POST /entities/items/{item_id}/aliases/{language_code} (phab:T335842) and DELETE /entities/items/{item_id}/descriptions/{lang_code} (phab:T342986)
Language codes:
We made Special:NewLexeme more likely to guess the spelling variant for you by changing the Property we use to get the language code. Now you will see the spelling variant input pop up less often. (phab:T349652)
We started work towards allowing many more languages by default for Wikibase Lexeme and monolingual text statements. This will remove the need for a lot of requests for new language codes to be added. (phab:T341409)
Query Service UI: We’ve fixed a small issue in the Query Service UI that was introduced when updating CSS variables. Content of selected cells in the query result should be readable again. (phab:T350153)
EntitySchemas: We are continuing the work on the new data type for linking to EntitySchemas, working on overcoming architectural issues.

The seventh Wikidata Working Hour will cover the Author Disambiguator tool, which helps users assign authors to articles.During the session we will demonstrate how to use the tool on an author who was created during a previous working hour, and another who doesn't exist in Wikidata yet. After the demonstration, participants are encouraged to try the tool themselves during the rest of the working hour. This session will build on the work done in previous Working Hours by connecting authors to the articles they have written. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page

Pages that use the JSON contentmodel will now use tabs instead of spaces for auto-indentation. This will significantly reduce the page size. [106]
Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the requiresES6 option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future. [107]
An update on the status of the Community Wishlist Survey for 2024 has been published. Please read and give your feedback.

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.

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. [157]

Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [192]
The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. 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.
Growth features are currently configurable at Special:EditGrowthConfig. This quarter we are working on making Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.
An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.
In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.
The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:
The likelihood that mobile web newcomers make their first article edit (+17.0% over baseline)
The likelihood that they are retained as newcomers (+24.3% over baseline)
The number of edits they make during their first two weeks on the wiki (+21.8% over baseline)
A lower probability of the newcomers' edits will be reverted (-3.3% over baseline).
This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. (T361763)
As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation (example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. (T352900)
The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. (T361657)
We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

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.

On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word __EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__ to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [215]
If you use the user-preference "페이지를 다시 불러오지 않고 미리 보기 표시", then the template-page feature "이 틀과 함께 문서 미리 보기" will now also work without reloading the page. [216]
Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the alt= attribute. This is identical in usage to the alt= attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [217]
The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [218]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (calendar). [219][220]
The 특수:검색 results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [221]
Future changes
In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [222]
Two columns of the pagelinks database table (pl_namespace and pl_title) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the new linktarget table instead (lt_namespace and lt_title). In your existing SQL queries:
Replace JOIN pagelinks with JOIN linktarget and pl_ with lt_ in the ON statement
Below that add JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id

Camillo Carlo Pellizzari di San Girolamo, Storia della collaborazione tra Wikidata e le biblioteche della Rete URBE nel controllo di autorità. Abstract: "The contribution draws a history of the presence of the identifiers of the authority records of the URBE network libraries in Wikidata, and of the collaboration that has evolved since 2020 between the Wikidata community and the cataloguers of the URBE network libraries, relating to the harmonisation of these authority records with Wikidata and the improvement of the quality of the respective data. The first part of the contribution traces the main stages of collaboration in chronological order, while the second part of the contribution presents the main areas in which the collaboration materialises (or can materialise) in the daily authority work carried out by cataloguers in theme-based groupings".

student count by gender (I think there should be a way to document the number of students at a university by their gender, as data for student counts (at least if they come from GENESIS Online - german universities) contain that data divided in male and female students. I think it would make more sense to implement that as a qualifier for {{P|2196}} than implementing it as a new property as that wouldn't make old data obsolete, but also it could interfere with tools that retrieve that data automated and are then confused by having multiple counts at the same time.)

Recent changes
Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update. [261]
Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [262]
If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [263][264]
Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [265]
Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.

Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both Gerrit and GitLab, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the Migration status page.
The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC).

We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the temporary accounts feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page. [268]
Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.

Feature News
Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system.

Feature news
Editors using the Visual Editor in languages that use non-Latin characters for numbers, such as Hindi, Manipuri and Eastern Arabic, may notice some changes in the formatting of reference numbers. This is a side effect of preparing a new sub-referencing feature, and will also allow fixing some general numbering issues in Visual Editor. If you notice any related problems on your wiki, please share details at the project talkpage.
Bugs status
Some logged-in editors were briefly unable to edit or load pages last week. These errors were mainly due to the addition of new linter rules which led to caching problems. Fixes have been applied and investigations are continuing.
Editors can use the IP Information tool to get information about IP addresses. This tool is available as a Beta Feature in your preferences. The tool was not available for a few days last week, but is now working again. Thank you to Shizhao for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
There are new features and improvements to Phabricator from the Release Engineering and Collaboration Services teams, and some volunteers, including: the search systems, the new task creation system, the login systems, the translation setup which has resulted in support for more languages (thanks to Pppery), and fixes for many edge-case errors.

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.
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.
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.

위키미디어 기술 커뮤니티의 최신 기술 소식. 이러한 변경 사항에 대해 다른 사용자에게 알려주십시오. 모든 변경 사항이 여러분에게 영향을 미치는 것은 아닙니다. 번역이 가능합니다.
기능 뉴스
페이지 번호와 같은 다른 세부 정보를 사용하여 참조를 재사용하려는 편집자는 2024년 말까지 새로운 하위 참조 기능을 사용하여 그렇게 할 수 있습니다. 프로젝트에 대한 자세한 내용과 프로토타입 테스트 방법을 읽을 수 있습니다.
추적 범주를 사용하여 특정 확장자를 사용하는 페이지를 식별하는 편집자는 6개의 범주가 더 쉽게 이해하고 일관성을 유지할 수 있도록 이름이 변경되었음을 알 수 있습니다. 이러한 범주는 특수 미디어위키 확장자를 사용하는 페이지에 자동으로 추가됩니다. 영향을 받는 이름은 다음과 같습니다: DynamicPageList, Kartographer, Phonos, RSS, Score, WikiHiero. 로컬에서 분류를 만든 위키는 로컬에서 만든 이름을 일치하도록 변경해야 합니다. 이러한 개선 사항에 대해 Pppery에게 감사드립니다. [277]
모듈을 편집하고 페이지에서 사용된 분류 목록을 얻고자 하는 기술 자원봉사자는 이제 mw.title objects의 categories 속성을 사용하여 이를 수행할 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 위키는 분류별 편집 알림과 같은 워크플로를 구성할 수 있습니다. 이러한 개선 사항에 대해 SD001에게 감사드립니다. [278][279]
버그 상태
이동 또는 삭제해야 할 페이지가 있는지 확인하려면 도움이 필요합니다. 도달할 수 없는 페이지(유니코드 문제 또는 새로운 이름공간/이름공간 별칭 도입으로 인해)를 정리하기 위해 유지 관리 스크립트가 실행되었습니다. 스크립트는 페이지에 적합한 이름을 찾으려고 시도했지만(예: 유니코드 변경 사항을 따르거나 위키백과에서 제목이 Talk:WP:로 시작하는 페이지를 이동하여 제목이 Wikipedia talk:로 시작하도록 함) 일부 페이지에서는 실패하여 대신 Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/로 이동했을 수 있습니다. 커뮤니티에서 해당 페이지에 페이지가 나열되어 있는지 확인하고 올바른 제목으로 이동하거나 더 이상 필요하지 않으면 삭제해야 합니다. 전체 로그(적절한 이름을 찾을 수 있는 페이지 포함)는 phab:P67388에서 제공됩니다.
위키에서 신규 사용자의 멘토로 자원하는 편집자는 도움과 지침을 제공하기 위해 연결할 수 있는 잠재적 멘티 목록에 다시 접근할 수 있습니다. 이 기능은 버그 수정 덕분에 복구되었습니다. 버그 보고서를 제출해 주신 Mbch331에게 감사드립니다. 이 문제와 지난주에 해결된 18개의 다른 커뮤니티 제출 작업에 대해 읽어보실 수 있습니다.

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');

개선 및 유지보수
틀에 관심이 있는 편집자는 최신 위시리스트 초점 영역, 틀 취소 및 찾기를 읽고, 토론페이지에서 피드백을 공유하여 도움을 줄 수 있습니다. 이 입력은 커뮤니티 기술 팀이 빌드할 올바른 기술적 접근 방식을 결정하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 또한 모든 사람이 새로운 희망사항을 계속 추가하는 것이 좋습니다.
새로운 자동화된 특수:이름공간정보 페이지는 편집자가 각 위키에 어떤 이름공간이 있는지, 그리고 어떻게 구성되는지에 대한 세부 정보를 이해하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 개선 사항에 대해 DannyS712에게 감사드립니다. [290]
참조 확인은 편집자가 위키백과 문서에 새 문단을 추가할 때 인용문을 추가하도록 장려하는 기능입니다. 잠시 동안 해당 태그 "편집 검사(출처)를 활성화함"이 기본 이름공간 외부의 일부 편집에 잘못 적용되었습니다. 이 문제는 수정되었습니다. [291]
이제 위키 커뮤니티에서 페이지의 분류가 위키에 표시되는 순서를 변경할 수 있습니다. 기본적으로 분류는 위키 텍스트에 나타나는 순서대로 표시됩니다. 이제 이를 수행하기로 합의한 위키는 환경설정 변경을 요청하여 알파벳순으로 표시할 수 있습니다. [292]
도구 작성자는 이제 Quarry와 Superset에서 ToolsDB의 공개 데이터베이스에 접근할 수 있습니다. 이러한 데이터베이스는 항상 모든 Toolforge 사용자가 접근할 수 있었지만, 이제 Quarry는 위키미디어 계정이 있는 모든 사람이 접근할 수 있으므로 더 광범위하게 접근할 수 있습니다. 또한 Quarry의 내부 데이터베이스는 이제 Quarry 자체에서 쿼리할 수 있습니다. 이 데이터베이스에는 Quarry에서 사용자가 실행하고 별표를 지정한 모든 쿼리에 대한 정보가 들어 있습니다. 이 정보는 이미 웹 인터페이스를 통해 공개되었지만 이제 SQL을 사용하여 쿼리할 수 있습니다. 해당 내용과 지난주에 해결된 20개의 다른 커뮤니티 제출 작업에 대한 자세한 내용을 읽어보세요.
여전히 매우 오래된 CSS 클래스 mw-message-box를 사용하는 모든 페이지나 도구는 업데이트해야 합니다. 이러한 오래된 클래스는 다음 주나 그 직후에 제거됩니다. 편집자는 글로벌 검색을 사용하여 무엇을 변경해야 하는지 확인할 수 있습니다. 새로운 cdx-message 클래스 그룹을 대체 클래스로 사용할 수 있지만(관련 Codex 문서 및 예시 업데이트 참조) 로컬로 정의된 위키 상의 클래스를 사용하는 것이 가장 좋습니다. [293]

코덱스 색상 팔레트가 미디어위키 사용자 인터페이스에 대한 새롭고 개정된 색상으로 업데이트되었습니다. 편집자에게 가장 눈에 띄는 변경 사항은 다음과 같습니다: 링크 및 조용한 버튼(진행형 및 파괴형)에 대한 다크 모드 색상, 밝은 모드와 어두운 모드 모두에 대한 방문 링크 색상, 밝은 모드와 어두운 모드 모두에서 시스템 메시지에 대한 배경색.
이제 클릭 가능한 위키 링크와 외부 링크를 코드 블록 내에 포함할 수 있습니다. 여기에는 <syntaxhighlight> 태그와 코드 페이지(자바스크립트, CSS, Scribunto 및 세니타이즈드 CSS)에서 사용되는 링크가 포함됩니다. 템플릿 구문 {{…}}의 사용도 템플릿 페이지에 링크됩니다. 이러한 개선 사항에 대해 SD0001에게 감사드립니다. [295]
API는 이제 월 5,000개의 주문형 API 요청과 2개월에 한 번씩 HTML 스냅샷을 무료로(무료 및 무료) 제공합니다. 소프트웨어 개발 키트(SDK)의 업데이트 및 개선 사항에 대한 자세한 내용은 프로젝트 블로그 게시물에 설명되어 있습니다. 위키미디어 엔터프라이즈 API는 대량의 상업적 재사용자를 위해 설계되었지만, 이 변경을 통해 더 많은 커뮤니티 사용 사례도 서비스에서 구축할 수 있습니다.
스냅샷 API(html 덤프)는 베타 구조화된 콘텐츠 엔드포인트(해당 블로그 게시물)를 추가하고 해당 엔드포인트에서 두 개의 베타 데이터 세트(영어 및 프랑스어 위키백과)를 허깅 페이스에 공개 사용 및 피드백을 위해 출시했습니다(해당 블로그 게시물). 이러한 사전 구문 분석된 데이터 세트는 연구자, 개발자 및 데이터 과학자가 콘텐츠를 사용하고 연구할 수 있는 새로운 옵션을 제공합니다.

위키데이터 쿼리 서비스(WDQS)는 위키데이터 데이터 집합을 사용하여 질문에 대한 답변을 얻는 데 사용됩니다. 위키데이터가 성장함에 따라 WDQS가 성능을 유지할 수 있도록 주요 아키텍처 변경을 해야 했습니다. WDQS 그래프 분할 프로젝트의 일환으로 위키데이터의 "학술" 및 "기본" 하위 그래프를 제공하기 위한 새로운 SPARQL 엔드포인트가 있습니다. query.wikidata.org 엔드포인트는 2025년 3월까지 전체 위키데이터 그래프를 계속 제공합니다. 이 날짜 이후에는 주요 그래프만 제공합니다. 자세한 내용은 위키데이터 공지 사항을 참조하세요.

Search: The haswbstatement search magic word has been improved by the Search Platform Team. Previously it was limited in which Properties were indexed for it. Going forward haswbstatement:P123 will work for all Properties, regardless of their datatype. This will allow you to filter search results for Items that have a statement with a specific Property. (Searching for a specific complete statement with haswbstatement:P123=xxx will still only work for specific datatypes.) For this to work all Items have to be reindexed and this will take up to 1 month.
Design system migration: We have migrated the Special:NewLexeme page from Wikit to Codex and are working on finishing the migration for the Query Builder.
EntitySchemas: We finished the investigation about how to support search for EntitySchemas by label or alias when linking to an EntitySchema in a statement. (phab:T362005)
Wikibase REST API: We worked on integrating language fallbacks into the API (phab:T371605)

편집자를 위한 업데이트
이제 42개 이상의 위키 독자들이 다크 모드를 사용할 수 있습니다. 위키에서 로그아웃한 사용자가 이 옵션을 아직 사용할 수 없다면, 이는 많은 템플릿이 아직 다크 모드에서 제대로 표시되지 않기 때문일 수 있습니다. 문제 수를 줄이는 데 관심이 있는 경우 야간 모드 검사기 도구를 사용하십시오. 권장 사항 페이지에서는 이에 대한 지침을 제공합니다. 다크 모드는 한 달에 한 번 추가 위키에서 활성화됩니다.
2010년 위키텍스트 편집기를 기본으로 사용하는 편집자는 URL에 ?veaction=editsource을 추가하여 2017년 위키텍스트 편집기의 기능에 액세스할 수 있습니다. 2017년 위키텍스트 편집기를 기본값으로 활성화하려면 환경 설정에서 설정할 수 있습니다. [298]
벡터 2022 스킨을 사용하는 로그아웃된 독자의 경우, "기부" 링크가 콘텐츠 영역 옆의 접을 수 있는 메뉴에서 "계정 만들기" 옆의 더 눈에 띄는 상단 메뉴로 이동되었습니다. 이렇게 하면 링크가 벡터 2010 스킨에서 보였던 수준의 중요성으로 복원됩니다. 기부자 경험과 관련된 변경 사항에 대해 자세히 알아보세요. [299]
위키기술-위키에 계정이 있는 개발자는 계정에 필요한 조치가 있는지 확인해야 합니다. 위키는 단일 사용자 로그인(SUL) 시스템과 기타 구성 변경을 사용하도록 변경되고 있습니다. 이 변경은 모든 위키에서 주간 소프트웨어 업데이트의 전반적인 복잡성을 줄이는 데 도움이 될 것입니다.

Small data, slow data − a SNAIL approach to Wikidata: discusses the value of small, carefully curated datasets in the era of big data. It emphasizes the importance of taking a methodical, "snail-paced" approach to data collection and analysis, which can lead to more meaningful and accurate insights. The blogpost also highlights how this approach can complement the broader trends of big data, ensuring that detailed, high-quality data is not overlooked.

"WoolNet: Finding and Visualising Paths in Knowledge Graphs" given two or more entities requested by a user, the system finds and visualises paths that connect these entities, forming a topical subgraph of Wikidata (Torres Gutiérrez and Hogan)
Dynamic Mapping using Collaborative Knowledge Graphs: Real-Time SKOS Mapping from Wikidata: This presentation introduces a workflow using SPARQL queries to dynamically map live Wikidata data to SKOS concepts, featuring a Python tool that converts CSV outputs into RDF triples for integration into linked data environments and knowledge graphs, emphasizing real-time data retrieval and interoperability.
Could making Wikidata 'human' readable lead to better AI?: Lydia Pintscher (WMDE), Portfolio Lead Product Manager at Wikidata Deutschland, discussed a new project aimed at making Wikidata more 'human' readable for Large Language Models (LLMs), which could improve AI reliability by giving these models access to high-quality, human-curated data from Wikidata.
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 sourcecode 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.

PatternsKilkenny - Patterns were devotional days on the day of the patron saint of a parish or area or at least an annually occurring day when the people of the locality held their personal devotions in a certain pattern (hence the name), i.e. "doing the rounds" around trees or other landmarks at the sacred site. This project tries to collate the records and memories of these patterns for County Kilkenny.
Deprecate P642 - The goal of this project is to prepare for deprecation, and eventual removal, of the property of (P642).
AIDS Walks - This project aims to collaborate with Wiki editors across the globe to highlight AIDS Walks anywhere in the world.
Temples in Roman Britain - The aim of the Wikiproject Temples in Roman Britain is to record and catalog sacred spaces in the Roman province Britannia between 43 to 409 CE. By sacred spaces, we include (for the moment) only built structures such as temples, sanctuaries and shrines.
Nihongo - The goal of this project is to capture the Japanese Language Japanese (Q5287) in its entirety on Wikidata. We aim to give advice and establish standards for representing Japanese words as lexemes.
EntitySchemas: We are continuing the work on making it possible to find an EntitySchema by its label or aliases when linking to an EntitySchema in a statement (phab:T375641)

Updates for editors
The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [311][312]
WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [313]
View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.
Updates for technical contributors
Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [314]
Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a <bdi> element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time. [316]

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.
So9qBot 10 - Add first line (P1922) with the first line of the paper to all scientific papers which has a full text link or where the abstract is available.

위키미디어 사이트 사용자는 이제 새로운 {{#timef:…}} 파서 함수를 사용하여 다양한 언어로 날짜를 더 쉽게 포맷할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, {{#timef:now|date|en}}는 "25 March 2025"으로 표시됩니다. 이전에는 {{#time:…}}를 사용하여 날짜를 포맷할 수 있었지만, 이를 위해서는 시간 및 날짜 구성 요소의 순서와 그 사이에 있는 구두점에 대한 지식이 필요했습니다. #timef(또는 현지 시간의 경우 #timefl)는 미디어위키가 사용자 인터페이스에서 사용하는 표준 날짜 포맷에 대한 접근을 제공합니다. 이를 통해 공용 및 메타와 같은 다국어 위키의 일부 템플릿을 간소화하는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다.

We will add a new module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. 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
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.
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)
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.
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.
Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.

A small project on benchmarking query engine performance on useful Wikidata queries is asking for queries from the Wikidata user community to potentially be part of the benchmark. If you are a user of any Wikidata SPARQL service please send queries that you find useful to Peter F. Patel-Schneider. Say what you used the query for and whether you would like to be noted as the source of the query. Queries that take considerable time or time out are especially welcome, particularly if the query caused you to switch from the official Wikidata Query Service to some other service. More information about the project is available in Wikidata:Scaling_Wikidata/Benchmarking.

위키미디어 기술 커뮤니티의 최신 기술 소식. 이러한 변경 사항에 대해 다른 사용자에게 알려주십시오. 모든 변경 사항이 여러분에게 영향을 미치는 것은 아닙니다. 번역이 가능합니다.
주간 주요 내용
기술 문서 기여자는 MediaWiki.org의 문서 허브에서 업데이트된 리소스와 서로 및 위키미디어 기술 문서 팀과 연결할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 찾을 수 있습니다. 이 페이지는 다음으로 연결됩니다. 문서 작성 및 개선을 위한 리소스, libera.chat의 새로운 #wikimedia-techdocs IRC 채널, 과거 및 다가올 문서 이벤트 목록, 문서 컨설팅 또는 검토 요청 방법. 문서 생태계 개선에 대한 피드백이나 아이디어가 있으면 기술 문서 팀에 문의하세요.
편집자를 위한 업데이트
편집 확인 기능에 대한 레이아웃 변경
이번 주 후반에 편집 확인이 데스크톱의 사이드바로 이전됩니다. 편집 확인은 새로운 편집자가 정책과 지침을 따르도록 돕는 기능입니다. 이 레이아웃 변경은 사람들이 타이핑하는 동안 나타나는 새로운 확인을 제시할 공간을 만듭니다. 초기 결과에 따르면 편집확인을 접한 신규 사용자는 참조를 포함하고 되돌리지 않는 새로운 콘텐츠 편집을 게시할 가능성이 2.2배 더 높습니다.
편집자가 데이터 시각화를 만들 수 있는 차트 확장 기능은 MediaWiki.org와 3개의 파일럿 위키(이탈리아어, 스웨덴어, 히브리어 위키백과)에서 성공적으로 제공되었습니다. 테스트위키에서 작동하는 예제를 볼 수 있으며 자세한 내용은 11월 프로젝트 업데이트를 읽어보세요.
모바일 콘텐츠 번역 경험이 가능한 위키의 번역자는 이제 문서 제안 기능의 "모든 컬렉션" 카테고리에서 관심 있는 위키프로젝트 캠페인의 문서를 찾을 수 있습니다. 위키프로젝트 캠페인 주최자는 이 기능을 사용하여 번역자가 관심 있는 문서를 찾을 수 있도록 도울 수 있으며, 메타위키의 캠페인 문서 목록 페이지에 <page-collection> </page-collection> 태그를 추가할 수 있습니다. 이렇게 하면 해당 문서를 콘텐츠 번역 도구에서 찾을 수 있습니다. 도구와 태그를 사용하는 방법에 대한 자세한 내용은 단계별 가이드를 참조하세요. [355]
관리자가 페이지를 대량 삭제할 수 있는 Nuke 기능에 이제 이름공간 선택을 위한 다중 선택 필터가 추가되었습니다. 이를 통해 사용자는 삭제할 페이지를 가져올 때 하나 또는 전체가 아닌 여러 개의 특정 이름공간을 선택할 수 있습니다.
Nuke 기능은 이제 페이지가 삭제된 사용자의 사용자 페이지와 삭제를 위해 선택되지 않은 페이지로의 링크를 제공하며, 이는 페이지 삭제가 대기열에 들어간 후입니다. 이를 통해 후속 관리자 작업을 보다 쉽게 수행할 수 있습니다. 이 두 가지 개선 사항에 대해 Chlod와 감독자 도구 팀에 감사드립니다. [356]
편집팀은 Citoid 도구(자동으로 채워진 인용문 생성기)를 사용하여 archive.org에서 인용문을 채우기 쉽게 만들기 위해 노력하고 있습니다. 그들은 커뮤니티에 Citoid를 사용하여 각 인용문 템플릿의 archiveUrl과 archiveDate라는 두 개의 매개변수를 사전에 추가하도록 요청하고 있습니다. 템플릿의 변경 예와 모든 관련 템플릿 목록을 볼 수 있습니다. [357]
지난주 모든 위키에서 로그인한 사용자와 일부 로그아웃한 사용자에게 30~45분 동안 페이지를 제공하는 데 문제가 있었습니다. 이는 데이터베이스 문제로 인해 발생했으며 조사가 진행 중입니다. [359]
지난주에 해결된 19 커뮤니티 제출 작업을 모두 확인하세요. 예를 들어, 링크 추가 기능의 버그가 수정되었습니다. 이전에는 링크 추가에서 제외된 섹션 목록이 특정 경우에 부분적으로 무시되었습니다. [360][361]
기술 기여자를 위한 업데이트
위키미디어의 디자인 시스템인 코덱스는 이제 PHP로 초기 단계 구현이 되었습니다. Composer를 통해 미디어위키 확장 프로그램과 Toolforge 앱에서 일반적으로 사용할 수 있으며, 미디어위키 코어에서 곧 사용할 수 있습니다. 자세한 내용은 설명서에서 확인할 수 있습니다. 영감을 주고 라이브러리에 많은 기여를 해준 Doğu에게 감사드립니다. [362]
봇 운영자 및 도구 유지 관리자와 같은 위키미디어 REST API 사용자는 진행 중인 업그레이드의 영향을 받을 수 있습니다. 12월 4일, 미디어위키 인터페이스 팀은 RESTbase에서 비슷한 미디어위키 REST API 엔드포인트로 테스트위키의 페이지/리비전 메타데이터와 렌더링된 HTML 콘텐츠 엔드포인트를 재라우팅하기 시작했습니다. 팀은 이러한 엔드포인트의 활성 사용자에게 올해 말까지 테스트위키에서 도구의 동작을 확인하고 관련 파브리케이터 티켓에 대한 우려 사항을 제기할 것을 권장합니다. 1월 초에 모든 위키미디어 프로젝트에 동일한 변경 사항을 롤아웃할 계획이기 때문입니다. 이러한 변경 사항은 오래된 RESTBase 시스템을 대체하기 위한 작업의 일부입니다.
2024년 개발자 만족도 설문 조사는 위키미디어 개발자 커뮤니티의 의견을 구하고 있습니다. 위키미디어 생태계를 위한 소프트웨어 개발에 어떤 역할이 있다면 설문 조사에 참여해 주세요. 설문 조사는 2025년 1월 3일까지 진행되며, 관련 개인정보 보호 정책이 있습니다.

Library Data in Wikimedia Projects: Case Study from the Czech Republic by Jansová, L., Maixnerová, L., & Š´tastná, P. (2024). "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."

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
The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See the SUL3 project page for more details and a timeline.
Updates for editors
On wikis with PageAssessments installed, you can now filter search results to pages in a given WikiProject by using the inproject: keyword. (These wikis: Arabic Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, English Wikivoyage, French Wikipedia, Hungarian Wikipedia, Nepali Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia) [365]
One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Tigre (w:tig:) [366]
View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed. [367]
Updates for technical contributors
Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the MediaWiki Interfaces Team in Phabricator if they arise.
Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI.
For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 returned a JSON object with an integer in its sub field, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. [368]
Many wikis currently use Cite CSS to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to not clean up your MediaWiki:Common.css until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output. [369]

점검자 및 관리자 - 편집자 또는 사용자에 대한 어떤 정보나 컨텍스트가 점검자 또는 관리자 결정을 보다 빠르고 쉽게 내리는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니까? 위키미디어 재단은 다가오는 연간 계획을 안내하는 데 도움이 되는 여러분의 의견을 듣고 싶습니다. 내년의 기술 방향을 정하기 위해 이 질문과 기타 13가지 질문에 대한 귀하의 생각을 공유해 주시기 바랍니다.
편집자를 위한 업데이트
이제 전 세계 iOS 위키백과 앱 사용자는 위키백과에서 읽고 편집한 기록을 기반으로 통찰력을 제공하는 개인화된 올해 검토 기능에 액세스할 수 있습니다. 이 프로젝트는 새로운 독자가 백과사전적 콘텐츠를 발견하고 상호 작용할 때 이를 환영하도록 돕기 위한 광범위한 노력의 일환입니다.
이제 편집 점검자는 잠재적으로 문제가 있는 새 페이지를 강조 표시할 수 있는 새로운 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다. 이전에 삭제된 페이지와 동일한 제목으로 페이지가 생성되면 이제 태그('Recreated')가 추가되며, 사용자는 이를 특수:최근바뀜 및 특수:새문서으로 필터링할 수 있습니다. [373]
이번 주 후반에는 편집자가 다른 넘겨주기(이중 넘겨주기)으로 연결되는 넘겨주기를 생성하려고 시도할 경우 새로운 경고가 표시됩니다. 이 기능은 두 번째 남겨주기의 대상 페이지로 직접 링크하도록 권장합니다. 이 개선을 위해 SomeRandomDeveloper 사용자에게 감사드립니다. [374]
위키미디어 위키는 로그인 중에 WebAuthn 기반 2차 요소 검사(하드웨어 토큰 등)를 허용하지만, 이 기능은 취약하고 사용자가 매우 적습니다. 미디어위키 플랫폼 팀은 SUL3(단일 사용자 로그인 버전 3)의 출시를 방해하지 않기 위해 새로운 WebAuthn 키 추가를 일시적으로 비활성화합니다. 기존 키는 영향을 받지 않습니다. [375]
미디어위키 기록 덤프를 사용하는 개발자의 경우: 데이터 플랫폼 엔지니어링 팀은 임시 계정 이니셔티브를 지원하기 위해 이러한 덤프에 몇 가지 새로운 필드를 추가했습니다. 이러한 덤프를 읽는 소프트웨어를 유지 관리하는 경우 행의 필드 순서가 변경되므로 코드와 업데이트된 설명서를 검토하세요. 또한 필드 이름이 하나 변경됩니다. mediawiki_user_history 덤프에서 anonymous 필드는 is_anonymous로 이름이 변경됩니다. 이러한 변경 사항은 2월에 덤프가 다음 릴리스될 때 적용됩니다. [376]

⚠️ 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.

편집자를 위한 업데이트
"특수 문자" 편집 도구 모음 메뉴를 사용하는 편집자는 이제 해당 위키의 편집 세션에서 가장 최근에 사용한 32개의 특수 문자를 볼 수 있습니다. 이 변경 사항은 가장 자주 사용하는 문자를 더 쉽게 찾는 데 도움이 될 것입니다. 이 기능은 2010년 위키 텍스트 편집기와 시각편집기에 모두 있습니다. [377]
2010년 위키텍스트 편집기를 사용하는 편집자는 들여쓰기를 원하는 줄을 선택한 다음 도구 모음 버튼을 클릭하여 올바른 들여쓰기로 하위 목록을 만들 수 있습니다.[378] 이제 새 도구 모음 버튼을 사용하여 <code> 태그를 삽입할 수도 있습니다.[379] 이러한 개선 사항에 대해 사용자 stjn에게 감사드립니다.
(1) 관리자는 preprint, standard, dataset에 대한 항목을 포함하도록 페이지 MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json의 로컬 버전을 업데이트해야 합니다. 'preprint'와 'standard' 및 'dataset'에 대해 복제할 수 있는 예시적 차이점이 다음과 같습니다.

주간 주요 내용
제품 및 기술 자문 위원회(PTAC)는 위키미디어 재단의 제품 및 기술 부서에 대한 권장 사항 초안을 발표했습니다. 그들은 모바일 경험, 특히 기여에 집중할 것을 권장했습니다. 그들은 2월 21일까지 토론 페이지에서 커뮤니티 피드백을 요청합니다.
편집자를 위한 업데이트
"특수 페이지" 포틀릿 링크는 기본적으로 "도구 상자"에서 메인 메뉴 사이드바의 "탐색" 섹션으로 이동합니다. 이 변경 사항은 도구 상자가 사이트와 관련된 도구가 아닌 현재 페이지와 관련된 도구를 위한 것이기 때문에 링크가 더 논리적이고 일관되게 배치되기 때문입니다. 이 동작을 수정하고 CSS 스타일을 업데이트하려면 관리자는 T385346의 지침을 따르면 됩니다. [383]
올해 독자들이 위키에서 콘텐츠를 발견하는 방식을 개선하기 위한 작업의 일환으로 웹 팀은 소수의 독자를 대상으로 검색 창에 관련 또는 흥미로운 기사에 대한 몇 가지 제안을 표시하는 실험을 진행할 예정입니다. 자세한 내용은 프로젝트 페이지를 확인하세요.
getDescription 함수는 읽은 모든 위키 페이지에서 호출되었으며 페이지 총 로드 시간의 약 2.5%를 차지합니다. 계산된 값은 이제 캐시되어 위키미디어 서버의 부하가 줄어듭니다. [387]
RESTBase 사용 중단 노력의 일환으로 /page/related 엔드포인트는 2025년 2월 6일부로 차단되었으며 곧 제거될 예정입니다. 이 타임라인은 이전 안드로이드 및 iOS 버전의 사용 중단 일정과 일치하도록 선택되었습니다. 안정적인 대안은 미디어위키의 "morelike" 작업 API이며 마이그레이션 예제를 사용할 수 있습니다. 미디어위키 인터페이스 팀에 문의하면 질문이 있을 경우 연락할 수 있습니다. [388]

강조된 토론 페이지 개선 사항
다음 주부터 이 위키의 토론 페이지(스페인어 위키백과, 프랑스어 위키백과, 이탈리아어 위키백과, 일본어 위키백과)가 새로운 디자인을 갖게 됩니다. 이 변경 사항은 베타 기능으로 광범위하게 테스트되었으며 토론 페이지 개선의 마지막 단계입니다. [389]
이제 히스토리 페이지와 같은 작업 페이지에서 직접 넘겨주기 페이지를 탐색하여 볼 수 있습니다. 이전에는 먼저 넘겨주기 대상으로 이동해야 했습니다. 이 변경 사항은 넘겨주기를 많이 사용하는 편집자에게 도움이 될 것입니다. 이 개선 사항에 대해 사용자 stjn에게 감사드립니다. [390]
Cite 참조가 여러 번 재사용되면 현재 위키는 참조 목록에 "1.23"과 같은 숫자나 "a b c"와 같은 지역화된 알파벳 마커를 표시합니다. 이전에는 재사용이 너무 많아서 알파벳 마커가 모두 사용된 경우 오류 메시지가 표시되었습니다. 인용 사용자 정의를 현대화하는 작업의 일환으로 이러한 오류는 더 이상 표시되지 않으며 대신 알파벳 마커가 모두 사용되면 백링크가 "1.23"과 같은 숫자 마커를 표시하도록 돌아갑니다.
편집자 사용자 그룹의 각 변경 사항에 대한 로그 항목은 이제 단순한 이전 및 이후 목록 대신 정확히 무엇이 변경되었는지 지정하여 더 명확해졌습니다. 번역자는 지역화된 버전을 업데이트하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있습니다. 이러한 개선 사항에 대해 사용자 Msz2001에게 감사드립니다.
특수:문서대량삭제 도구에 새로운 필터가 추가되어 관리자가 페이지를 대량으로 삭제하고, 사용자가 다양한 페이지 크기(바이트)의 페이지를 필터링할 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 예를 들어 특정 크기 이하의 페이지만 삭제할 수 있습니다. [391]
이제 관리자가 아닌 사용자도 특수:문서대량삭제 도구를 사용하여 삭제할 수 있는 페이지를 확인할 수 있습니다. 이 개선 사항과 이전 개선 사항에 대해 사용자 MolecularPilot에게 감사드립니다. [392]

편집자를 위한 업데이트
이제 모바일 보기를 사용하여 로그인한 모든 편집자는 전체 페이지를 편집할 수 있습니다. "전체 문서 편집" 링크는 도구 모음의 "더 보기" 메뉴에서 접근할 수 있습니다. 이전에는 고급 모바일 기여 설정을 사용하는 편집자만 이 기능을 사용할 수 있었습니다. [403]
이제 인터페이스 관리자는 로컬 MediaWiki:Common.css에서 "mw-ref"과 일치하는 더 이상 사용되지 않는 Cite CSS 코드를 제거하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있습니다. 정리가 필요한 위키 목록과 제거할 코드는 이 전역 검색과 이 예제를 통해 찾을 수 있으며, CSS 마이그레이션 프로젝트 페이지에서 도움을 주는 방법에 대해 자세히 알아볼 수 있습니다. 인용 각주 표시("[1]")는 이제 Parsoid에 의해 렌더링되며 더 이상 사용되지 않는 CSS가 필요하지 않습니다. 백링크용 CSS("mw:referencedBy")는 현재 그대로 유지되어야 합니다. 이 정리로 인해 독자가 눈에 띄는 변화는 없을 것으로 예상됩니다. 3월 20일 이전에 이 코드를 제거하도록 도와주세요. 그 이후에는 개발팀에서 제거해 드릴 것입니다.
편집자가 계단식 보호로 보호되는 페이지에 파일(예: [[File:MediaWiki.png]])을 삽입하면 소프트웨어는 더 이상 파일 설명 페이지의 편집을 제한하지 않고 새 파일 업로드만 제한합니다.[404] 반면에 파일 설명 페이지(예: {{:File:MediaWiki.png}})를 삽입하면 이제 페이지 편집이 제한됩니다.[405]

지난주부터 페이지가 완전히 로드될 때까지 일부 인터페이스 아이콘이 검은색 사각형으로 표시되는 버그가 발생했습니다. 이번 주에 수정될 예정입니다. [409]
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
WMDE Blog - Highlights of Data Reuse Days: The post showcases 3 excellent apps: WikiFlix (public domain full-length films), KDE Itinerary (travel assistant app) and Scribe Keyboard (easier writing in secondary languages).

1년에 두 번, 춘분과 추분 무렵에 위키미디어 재단의 사이트 안정성 엔지니어링(SRE) 팀은 데이터센터 서버 전환을 수행하여 모든 트래픽을 한 기본 서버에서 백업 서버로 리디렉션합니다. 이렇게 하면 위기 상황에서도 안정성을 유지할 수 있는데, 항상 다른 데이터센터로 돌아갈 수 있기 때문입니다. 위키백과를 들어보세요 도구 덕분에 전환이 진행되는 소리를 들을 수 있습니다. 전환이 시작되기 전에 꾸준한 편집 스트림을 들을 수 있습니다. 그런 다음 시스템이 잠깐 읽기 전용 단계로 전환되면서 전환 후 다시 시작되기 전에 몇 분간 소리가 멈춥니다. 이 프로세스의 배경과 세부 정보에 대한 자세한 내용은 Diff 블로그에서 확인할 수 있습니다. 다음 서버 전환을 주시하려면 3월 19일 14:00 UTC에 위키를 들어보세요.
편집자를 위한 업데이트
개선된 콘텐츠 번역 도구 대시보드는 이제 10개의 위키백과에서 사용할 수 있으며 곧 모든 위키백과에서 사용할 수 있습니다. 통합 대시보드를 사용하면 데스크톱 사용자는 이제 다음을 수행할 수 있습니다. 문서의 새 섹션 번역; 주제 기반 문서 제안 필터 검색 및 액세스(처음에는 모바일 기기 사용자만 사용 가능); 위키 프로젝트 및 캠페인에서 "컬렉션"이라고도 하는 커뮤니티 정의 목록 필터 검색 및 액세스.
위키미디어 공용에서 적절한 파일 카테고리를 선택하는 새로운 시스템이 도입되었습니다. 카테고리에 하나 이상의 하위 카테고리가 있는 경우 사용자는 화살표를 클릭하여 양식 내에서 하위 카테고리를 직접 열고 올바른 카테고리를 선택할 수 있습니다. 상위 카테고리 이름은 항상 맨 위에 표시되며 항상 다시 돌아올 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 자원봉사자가 새로운 카테고리를 수정/생성하는 데 드는 작업량이 줄어들 것입니다. 이 변경 사항은 모바일에서도 사용할 수 있습니다. 이러한 변경 사항은 업로드마법사에 대한 계획된 개선 사항의 일부입니다.
커뮤니티 기술팀은 3월 말에 멀티차단 기능과 새로 고침된 특수:차단 페이지에 대한 파일럿에 참여할 위키를 찾고 있습니다. 멀티차단을 사용하면 관리자가 동일한 사용자에게 동시에 여러 유형의 차단을 부과할 수 있습니다. 관리자 또는 관리자이고 커뮤니티와 파일럿 참여에 대해 논의하기를 원하시면 프로젝트 토론 페이지에 메시지를 남겨주세요.
3월 25일부터 편집팀은 12개 위키백과에서 편집 확인의 새로운 기능인 다중 확인을 테스트할 예정입니다. 이 위키의 신규 사용자 중 절반은 편집 세션 동안 모든 참조 확인을 볼 수 있고, 나머지 절반은 계속해서 하나만 볼 수 있습니다. 이 테스트의 목표는 단일 편집 세션 내에서 여러 참조 확인(해당되는 경우)이 표시될 때 사용자가 혼란스러워하거나 낙담하는지 확인하는 것입니다. 이 위키에서는 참조 확인을 표시하는 편집에 사용되는 태그가 간소화될 것입니다. 단일 편집 내에서 여러 태그를 표시할 수 있기 때문입니다. 태그의 변경 사항은 파브리케이터에 기록되어 있습니다. [414]
사용자에게 임시 사용자 권한이 만료될 것임을 알리는 서비스인 전역 리마인더 봇은 이제 메시지 제목에 사용 권한 그룹의 지역화된 이름을 사용하는 것을 지원합니다. 번역자는 기존 번역 및 문서 목록을 보고 언어를 업데이트하거나 만들어야 하는지 확인할 수 있습니다.
소프트웨어가 인터페이스 메시지에서 사용자를 지칭하는 방법에 사용되는 전역환경설정 성별 설정이 이제 로컬 기본값을 재정의하여 예상대로 작동합니다. [415]
지난주에 해결된 26 커뮤니티 제출 작업을 모두 확인하세요. 예를 들어, 안드로이드용 위키백과 앱에서는 사용자가 여러 언어로 탐색하고 검색할 때 발생하는 버그가 수정되었습니다. [416]
기술 기여자를 위한 업데이트
이번 주 후반에 Codex 스타일이 로드되는 방식이 변경됩니다. 이로 인해 특정 페이지에 스타일이 지정되지 않은 인터페이스 메시지 상자가 나타날 수 있는 약간의 위험이 있습니다. 사용자가 생성한 콘텐츠(예: 템플릿)는 영향을 받지 않습니다. 가젯은 영향을 받을 수 있습니다. 문제가 있으면 신고해 주세요. 영향을 받는 소도구를 수정하는 방법에 대한 자세한 내용, 스크린샷 및 설명서는 링크된 작업을 참조하세요.

The CampaignEvents extension will be released to multiple wikis (see deployment plan for details) in April 2025, and the team has begun the process of engaging communities on the identified wikis. The extension provides tools to organize, manage, and promote collaborative activities (like events, edit-a-thons, and WikiProjects) on the wikis. The extension has three tools: Event Registration, Collaboration List, and Invitation Lists. It is currently on 13 Wikipedias, including English Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, and Spanish Wikipedia, as well as Wikidata. Questions or requests can be directed to the extension talk page or in Phabricator (with #campaigns-product-team tag).
Starting the week of March 31st, wikis will be able to set which user groups can view private registrants in Event Registration, as part of the CampaignEvents extension. By default, event organizers and the local wiki admins will be able to see private registrants. This is a change from the current behavior, in which only event organizers can see private registrants. Wikis can change the default setup by requesting a configuration change in Phabricator (and adding the #campaigns-product-team tag). Participants of past events can cancel their registration at any time.
Administrators at wikis that have a customized MediaWiki:Sidebar should check that it contains an entry for the 특수 문서 목록 listing. If it does not, they should add it using * specialpages-url|specialpages. Wikis with a default sidebar will see the link moved from the page toolbox into the sidebar menu in April.[417]
The Minerva skin (mobile web) combines both Notice and Alert notifications within the bell icon (). There was a long-standing bug where an indication for new notifications was only shown if you had unseen Alerts. This bug is now fixed. In the future, Minerva users will notice a counter atop the bell icon when you have 1 or more unseen Notices and/or Alerts.[418]
VisualEditor has introduced a new client-side hook for developers to use when integrating with the VisualEditor target lifecycle. This hook should replace the existing lifecycle-related hooks, and be more consistent between different platforms. In addition, the new hook will apply to uses of VisualEditor outside of just full article editing, allowing gadgets to interact with the editor in DiscussionTools as well. The Editing Team intends to deprecate and eventually remove the old lifecycle hooks, so any use cases that this new hook does not cover would be of interest to them and can be shared in the task.
Developers who use the mw.Api JavaScript library, can now identify the tool using it with the userAgent parameter: var api = new mw.Api( { userAgent: 'GadgetNameHere/1.0.1' } );. If you maintain a gadget or user script, please set a user agent, because it helps with library and server maintenance and with differentiating between legitimate and illegitimate traffic.[419][420]
