2024年第49期技術新聞

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 本週新增了兩個解析器函數。{{#interwikilink}}用於加入跨維基链接、{{#interlanguagelink}}用於加入跨語言链接。這兩個解析器函數可以在命名空間與跨維基前綴相衝突時使用。例如，英語維基百科上以MOS:開頭的链接與莫西語維基百科的mos語言代碼前綴相衝突。
• 從本週開始，維基媒體維基不再支持使用舊式RSA型HTTPS憑證的连接，具體來說是RSA-2048。此舉旨在提高所有使用者的安全性。部分較舊、不受支持的瀏覽器或智慧型行動裝置將無法连接；反之，它們會顯示连接錯誤。詳情請參閱HTTPS瀏覽器建議頁面。所有現代作業系統和瀏覽器始終能夠访问維基媒體維基。 [8]
• 12月16日開始，部分維基的結構式討論頁將自動存檔並設為唯讀模式，這些維基包括：arwiki、​cawiki、​frwiki、​mediawikiwiki、​orwiki、​wawiki、​wawiktionary、​wikidatawiki、​zhwiki。這是結構式討論棄用作業的一部分。如果您需要任何協助來預先存檔您的討論頁，請聯絡Trizek (WMF)。 [9]
• 本月，Chart圖表扩展已部署至生產環境，目前可在共享資源和測試維基使用。隨著安全審查的完成，維基試行部署預計於12月第1週開始。您可以在測試維基查看工作版本，並閱讀11月的项目更新了解更多。
• 查看上週解決的共23個社群提交工單。 例如，「下載為PDF」系統的錯誤現已修復。 [10]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 明年2月下旬，臨時帳號將在至少10個大型維基推出。這項部署將對由社群維護的代码產生重大影響，影響包括Toolforge工具、機器人、小工具，以及使用IP位址数据或可供未登录用户使用的用户腳本。信任與安全產品團隊希望找出這些代码、監控它們，並在部署前協助更新，以盡量減少對工作流程的干擾。團隊懇請技術編輯者和志願開發者們協助找出此類工具，將它們加入此清單。此外，請查閱更新後的文档，了解如何調整此類工具。歡迎到项目討論頁或維基媒體社群Discord伺服器（英文）的專門討論區參與討論，尋求支持並分享意見。

2024年第50期技術新聞

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。

本週要聞

• MediaWiki.org文档中心更新，技術文档貢獻者現在可由此取得最新資源，並了解與社群及維基媒體技術文件團隊的新聯繫方式。該頁面提供以下連結：文档編寫與改進資源、libera.chat上的新IRC頻道#wikimedia-techdocs、過去和即將舉辦的文档相關活動清單、請求文档諮詢或審查的方法。如果您對文档生態系統有任何想法或改進意見，請聯絡技術文档團隊。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

編輯檢查功能的版面調整

• 本週稍晚，桌面版的編輯檢查框將移至側邊欄。編輯檢查功能旨在協助新手編輯者遵循方針與指引。這項版面調整騰出的空間，讓編輯者在輸入文字時，能同時看到新的檢查項目。初步結果顯示，新手在遇到編輯檢查框後，成功發布包含參考資料且未被回退的新內容編輯的可能性提高了2.2倍。
• 数据可视化工具——Chart圖表扩展已順利部署至MediaWiki.org和3個試辦維基（義大利語、瑞典語、希伯來語維基百科）。您可以在測試維基查看範例，並閱讀11月的项目更新了解更多。
• 在提供移动版內容翻譯的維基中，翻譯者現在可以從條目建議功能中的「所有收藏」分類中探索他們感興趣的維基專題活動條目。維基專題的活動籌辦人員可以使用此功能，透過將<page-collection> </page-collection>標籤加入至元維基上的活動條目列表頁面，幫助翻譯者探索感興趣的條目。這將提高這些條目在內容翻譯工具中的能見度。關於如何使用該工具和標籤的詳情，請參閱逐步指南。 [11]
• 「大量刪除」（Nuke）功能現在有了可多選的命名空間篩選。這使得用户在提取要刪除的頁面時，能夠選擇多個特定的命名空間，而不是僅選擇一個或全部。
• 此外，在待刪除頁面進入队列後，大量刪除功能現在會提供以下連結：遭刪除頁面的创建者的用户页，以及其未被選擇刪除的頁面。這使得管理員能更容易進行後續管理操作。感謝Chlod和Moderator Tools團隊所做的這兩項改進。 [12]
• 編輯團隊正在努力讓自動填入引用產生器——Citoid更容易從archive.org填入引用。團隊要求社群在每個使用Citoid的引用模板的TemplateData中預先加入兩個參數archiveUrl和archiveDate。參見模板變更範例，以及所有相關模板的清單。 [13]
• 一個新的維基已创建： 印尼語维基导游 (voy:id:) [14]
• 上週，所有維基網站經歷了持續30至45分鐘的服務中斷，無法順利提供網頁給已登录及部分未登录用户。此事件起因於資料庫異常，調查仍在進行中。 [15]
• 查看上週解決的共19個社群提交工單。 例如，添加链接功能的錯誤現已修復。之前，在某些情況下，從添加链接功能排除的章節清單會被部分忽略。 [16][17]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 維基媒體設計系統——Codex現在有一個早期階段的PHP实现。它可透過Composer在MediaWiki扩展與Toolforge應用程式供一般使用，並即將用於MediaWiki核心。更多詳情請參閱文档。感謝Doğu的靈感以及對函式庫的諸多貢獻。 [18]
• Wikimedia REST API用户，如機器人操作者和工具維護者，可能會受到正在進行的升級更新的影響。12月4日，MediaWiki介面團隊著手將測試維基上的頁面及修訂版本的metadata、渲染後的HTML內容等端點，從RESTbase重編路由至相似的MediaWiki REST API端點。團隊鼓勵這些端點的活躍用户在測試維基驗證其工具的行為，並於年底前將任何疑慮提交至相關的Phabricator工單，團隊打算於1月初在所有維基媒體项目實施相同的變更。這是取代過時的RESTBase系統的作業的一部分。
• 邀請維基媒體開發者社群填寫2024年開發者滿意度調查。如果您在維基媒體生態系統的軟體開發中佔有一角，請填寫此問卷調查。調查開放填寫至2025年1月3日，並請參閱相關隱私聲明。
• 本週沒有MediaWiki的新版本。 [19]

来自Leeyoumi的问题 （2024年12月18日 (三) 10:34）

hello，导师，我想问下，我刚刚编辑了一个新的条目，但是点击跳入上传图片的页面之后，返回就回不到编辑的页面。能否通过什么方式去到草稿箱呢？ --Leeyoumi（留言） 2024年12月18日 (三) 10:34 (UTC)

@Leeyoumi：您好，建議先將草稿編寫到一個段落後，再上傳圖片並插入到條目中，在跳到其他頁面後，請在瀏覽器的網址列中輸入https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions，如此即可看到您編輯過哪些頁面，點擊其中您要前往的頁面即可。--冥王歐西里斯（留言） 2024年12月18日 (三) 11:45 (UTC)

您好，导师。因我这边是第一次加入维基百科编辑，对维基百科的描述方式不是很清楚。在刚刚发表的广州流花服装批发市场的条目中，主要想阐述该地理位置的历史及周边商圈的重要性。但发表后出现快速删除提醒。想请问能否帮忙看看是哪部分的描述不符合规定，我这边进行调整，感谢

@Leeyoumi：您好，建議透過Wikipedia:建立條目精靈的草稿流程編寫，如此可透過草稿的審核流程來協助您熟悉維基百科的編寫規範，至於目前這個條目的問題，請見Wikipedia:格式手冊/不要華而不實。--冥王歐西里斯（留言） 2024年12月19日 (四) 03:38 (UTC)
