Tech News: 2024-40

[edit]

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

Updates for editors

  • Readers of 42 more wikis can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the night-mode-checker tool if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The recommendations page provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month.
  • Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding ?veaction=editsource to the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in your preferences. [1]
  • For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the "donate" link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to "Create an account". This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin. Learn more about the changes related to donor experiences. [2]
  • The CampaignEvents extension provides tools for organizers to more easily manage events, communicate with participants, and promote their events on the wikis. The extension has been enabled on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki. Chinese Wikipedia has decided to enable the extension, and discussions on the extension are in progress on Spanish Wikipedia and on Wikidata. To learn how to enable the extension on your wiki, you can visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-Wiki.
  • View all 22 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should check if any action is required for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis.

In depth

  • The server switch was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of only 2 minutes 46 seconds. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes. [3]

Question from Avemalakoff (13:15, 5 October 2024)

[edit]

Hello: Thanks for your help. There is a new book on the mystery about the Man in the Iron Mask written by me, Sarah Madry, M.Ed. On the Wikipedia page on this topic there is a list of books about this topic. I would like to have my book listed on the list. Since the editors investigate, quite normally and appropriately, the level of accuracy and seriousness of authors and material that appear on Wikipedia (I depend upon you to do that as a regular user of Wikipedia - thank you), I wrote to another editor who responded to me about adding my book to the list about the depth of my research and the new paths covered on the subject. I think that was interpreted as a promotion of my book that I intended to put on the Wikipedia page. I don't want to promote my book, unless putting the book on the list of other books, is promotion. I wanted to show the editor that my book is a serious work that offers dependable new material. I am sorry if that was the wrong thing to do. I have never done this before and I didn't know I was not supposed to do this. I apologize. I hope Wikipedia will be able to list my book as a book on this topic. Sarah Madry --Avemalakoff (talk) 13:15, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
