Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- You can now search on English, French, Hebrew and Greek wikis and find words even if you forget the diacritics. It also works if you use diacritics in your search but the wiki doesn't. [6]
- When you use the mobile view and click on a link to an article in another language you will see that article in the mobile view. Previously it changed to the desktop view. [7]
Problems
- Some watchlist gadgets didn't work for a period of time last week. This has now been fixed. [8]
- Admins who click on "mass delete" on a user's Special:Contributions will be taken directly to a list pages created by that user. It has worked like this before, but not lately. [9]
Changes this week
- The way you switch between wikitext and the visual editors in the desktop view has changed. It is now a drop-down menu. This is the same as in the mobile view. [10]
- The "flag the edit in the abuse log" checkbox will be removed from the abuse filter interface. This is because the edits are always flagged in the abuse log. [11]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 March. It will be on all wikis from 9 March (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 7 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Clarification
- The AMFformat will be available later.

List of Meet the Press episodes
I just saw your comment from two weeks ago. Thank you for your advice. Can you help me create my article for a list of Meet the Press episodes? Here is the link I have been using to put the episodes on. http://www.digitaldeliftp.com/DigitalDeliToo/dd2jb-Meet-The-Press.html PoliticalBuff (talk) 16:03, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- @WP:LISTN can give you an idea if the list is notable enough to have its own list. If you can find other sources, that should help. If not, the best could do is to redirect it to Meet the Press, because it seems plausible to me. —MRD2014 📞 What I've done16:11, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Changes this week
- You will be able to show references from
<references />
tags in more than one column on your wiki. This is the list of footnotes for the sources in the article. How many columns you see will depend on how big your screen is. On some wikis, some templates already do this. Templates that use<references />
tags will need to be updated, and then later the change can happen for all reference lists. [12][13] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 March. It will be on all wikis from 16 March (calendar).

Future changes
- Some old web browsers will not be able to use JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis in the future. If you have an old web browser on your computer you can upgrade to a newer version. [14]

I screwed up
Thanks again for doing this. For whatever reason, a large amount of users will try to rename themselves like that. Since you're a page mover, do you think you could move User:Vuyyala2 and User talk:Vuyyala2 back to the proper places? I tried to...and failed, and thanks to my bad move I can't even fix the mess I created. I never know where to request these kinds of moves. Sro23 (talk) 16:07, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Recent changes
- The
Save page
button now saysPublish page
orPublish changes
on the Wikimedia wikis except for Wikipedias and Wikinewses. This change will come to Wikipedias later. The point is to make it more clear that the edit will change the page immediately.Publish page
is when you save a new page andPublish changes
when you edit an existing page. [17] - DMOZ no longer works. Templates that use DMOZ can be redirected to archive.org or another mirror. DMOZ has been removed from the RelatedSites extension on Wikivoyage. [18]

Problems
- On 15 March some interwiki links to other languages were not correctly sorted. This has been fixed. If you still see pages where the interwiki links are not sorted as they should be, they should be fixed automatically with time or you can edit the page and save it without changing anything. If this doesn't work, please report it. [22]
Changes this week
- When you edit with the visual editor, you will be able to switch the direction you write in from right-to-left to left-to-right as you are editing. This is especially important for editors who edit in languages that write from right to left. You can do this with a tool in the editing menu. You can also use the keyboard shortcut
Ctrl
+Shift
+X
on PCs orCmd

is when you save a new page andPublish changes

- English Wikipedia now has cookie blocks. It will come to more wikis in the future. This is an extension to the autoblock system so when a user is blocked, the next time they visit the wiki a cookie will be set. This means that even if the user switches accounts and to a new IP address the cookie will block them again. [29]
Problems
- Wikidata descriptions, aliases and labels that used some characters could not be saved. This has now been fixed. [30]
Changes this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 April. It will be on all wikis from 6 April (calendar).

The new filters include filtering, highlighting and user intent prediction. User intent prediction means the filter tries to help editors determine if the edit was made in good faith or not. Other wikis will get it later. [31]

- New filters for Recent changes will come to Wikidata and Persian, Russian, Turkish and French Wikipedia on 11 April. The schedule has been changed to fix the user intent prediction filters for some wikis.

- RevisionSlider will change how you move between revisions. This will be available on the test wiki from 11 April. It will come to other wikis later if users like the change. You can test it and give feedback.

My Article Newcreationxavier Has Been Marked for Deletion
Hello, please I noticed a deletion marker on my account name. Am I doing something wrongly? I am trying to create an article on the topic "Family Systems Engineering". I want to know if I am doing it wrongly, and to be shown the right way to do the article well. I have read up on the Do's and Don'ts. I didn't know I still made a slip. Thanks for your help. Newcreationxavier (talk) 01:39, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
- @speedy deletion. Another thing I want to say is you should not create articles on your main user page. If you want to create a subpage in your userspace (e.g. User:Newcreationxavier/Family Systems Engineering), that is a better idea. —MRD2014 📞 contribs01:43, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- You can add
?safemode=1
to the end of the URL on Wikimedia wikis to disable your personalCSS and JavaScript. Example:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature?safemode=1
. This means you can test if a problem is because of your user scripts or gadgets without uninstalling them. [36] - You can now see a list of all autoblocks on Special:AutoblockList. [37]
- The Wikiversity and Wikinews logos are now shown directly from the configuration and not from
[[File:Wiki.png]]
. If you want to change logo or have an anniversary logo, see how to request a configuration change. This is how it already works for other projects. They can request logo changes the same way. [38]
Problems
- Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for 20 to 30 minutes on 19 April. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. You can read more about this. This will also happen on 3 May.
Changes this week
- There is no new Mediawiki version this week. This is because of the data centre test.
Meetings

Future changes
- stats.wikimedia.org will be replaced. You can see the new prototype. You can leave feedback on this change.
- Page Previews will be turned on for logged-out users on a large number of wikis in May. It could be postponed and happen later. Page Previews shows readers a short part of a linked article when they rest their mouse pointer on the link. This is to help them understand what it is about without leaving the article they are reading. Page Previews used to be called Hovercards. Users who have tested the feature can give feedback. [39]
- From next week, user scripts using very old deprecated wikibits functions will show errors. These functions have not worked since 2013. You should fix or disable broken scripts. You can see examples of how to upgrade scripts. [40][41]

Recent changes
- New filters for recent changes are now available as a beta feature on most wikis. You can turn it on in your preferences. Remaining wikis will have the new filters on 9 May. [42]
- When administrators, bureaucrats and stewards make a user a member of a user group they can now set an expiry date. A user group is for example "administrators" or "bots". This means that they can give someone user rights for a limited time. This is similar to how blocks and page protections can be limited in time. Special:UserRights will have new options for this. You can read more about user groups. [43]
Problems
- Since the data centre test last week the content translation tool has been disabled. This is because of a database problem. It will be back as soon as the problem has been solved. [44]
Changes this week

My translation for Guia Risari
Hello, This was the first time I've contributed to Wikipedia, at the request of Guia Risari, who wanted me to translate her page and put it on wikipedia. I had no idea how complicated it would be, but I tried copying and pasting the Italian article before cancelling the Italian and writing the text in English in order to keep all the footnotes, references, etc. I did not use google translator since I know it is generally bad quality, unethical, and could be my competitor (I'm a professional translator). Has it improved so much that it provides a translation of quality? I would like the text to be deleted, please, since I wouldn't know how to complete the work. Thank you for your attention Cherylmengle (talk) 08:07, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Sincerest thanks for reviewing my article on the Hamilton song Ten Duel Commandments. I was wondering if you would be in a position to do something similar for The Reynolds Pamphlet (song) and Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down). Thanks a million. Stormy clouds (talk) 17:58, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
