Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 August. It will be on all wikis from 8 August (calendar).
Problems
- A change in RelatedArticles extension accidentally enabled it for everyone, not just for mobile users. This has been fixed. [1][2]
Meetings
-
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 7 August at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- Today everyone can see IP addresses if someone edits without an account. In the future this could be more hidden. This is to protect unregistered editors so fewer can see their IP address. This would only happen after we make sure the tools for vandal fighting can still be effective. You can read more and comment.

Deze Middelnederlandse bron bewerken
Hallo!
Ik kom hier zelden en weet dus niet zo goed wat wel en niet kan en mag en behoort. Ik kwam onlangs op googlebooks een
boek genaamd "De Middelnederlandsche poezie" van H.E. Moltzer uit 1868 tegen dat als "ebook -free" op het internet staat. Er staan een aantal stukken Middelnederlandse literatuur in die ik hier nog niet zie. Kan ik wat daaruit overnemen? Hoe zet ik dat hier het beste neer? Er staan wat "sotternie"-ën in. Misschien moet ik daar een nieuw kopje op het Mnd. portaal zetten?

- Dag @Jcwf, leuk je hier te ontmoeten! Wat hier kan en mag en behoort enzo, dat weet ik ook niet precies. Het is hier zoals op nl-wiki: voel je vrij en ga je gang. Maar..... ik heb je boek even bekeken, en - ondanks het feit dat het auteursrechtelijk geen probleem is - zal het opnemen van dit boek (via de "proofread"-methode) een behoorlijk lastige klus zijn. Het kan zeker. Maar als je niet ervaren bent, denk ik dat het veel te ingewikkeld is. Ik doel dan vooral op dingen als: regelval, paragraaf-indeling, voetnoten, enz. Bovendien is het veeeeeel. Als het vijf bladzijden was, was het nog wel te overzien. Je kunt natuurlijk altijd met enkele bladzijden beginnen. Maar als je hier iets zou willen doen, raad ik je aan om met iets makkelijkers te beginnen. Gewoon recht-toe-recht-aan tekst. Goede kwaliteit "OCR". En niet te veel, om mee te beginnen.
- De gang van zaken is ongeveer als volgt: de pdf uploaden naar IA. Van IA naar Commons met een speciale tool, die er een djvu-bestand van maakt. Van Commons naar Wikisource/index-bestand. Het index-bestand ordenen en alle afzonderlijke pagina's opmaken en proeflezen enzo. Dan in de hoofdnaamruimte brengen. Kijk maar eens bij de projecten-lijst. Dan kun je je wel een indruk vormen. Als je nog vragen hebt: stel ze gerust. Groet, --Dick Bos (overleg) 16 aug 2019 21:22 (CEST)
Update on the consultation about office actions bewerken
Hello all,
Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.
This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.
For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.
Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.
Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 16 aug 2019 10:03 (CEST)

Tech News
- There will be no Tech News issue next week. The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 2 September 2019.
Problems
- Some abuse filters stopped working because of a code change. Only variables for the current action will work. Variables defined inside a branch may not work outside of that branch. You can read more to see how to fix the filters.
- Only six accounts can be created from one IP address per day. Between 12 August and August 15 this was two accounts per day. This was because of a security issue. It is now six accounts per day again. [6]
Changes later this week
- Only a limited number of accounts can be created from one IP address. An IP address can be whitelisted so that it can create as many accounts as needed. This is useful at events where many new persons learn to edit. IP addresses that are whitelisted for this reason will also not show CAPTCHAs when you create accounts. This will happen on Wednesday. [7]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 August. It will be on all wikis from 22 August (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 21 August at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- There is an RFC about creating a new global user group with the right to edit abuse filters. This will be used to fix broken filters and make sure all filters will still work when software changes happen. You can read more and comment.
Special:Contributions/newbieswill no longer be working. This is because of performance reasons. It showed edits by new accounts. You can see this in the recent changes feed instead. [8]

New tools and IP masking bewerken
Hey everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.
We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.
You can post in your language if you can't write in English.
