Your expertise
[edit]Hi Jarekt. Do you mind chipping in here? {{Delete/layout}} is not properly localized, maybe only as a half-working hack, and I'd like it to make full usage of {{date}}. You're my date expert, and someone who can edit the protected template. Thanks, Ponor (talk) 14:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- One last thing: Special:Diff/934628254/934938927 is a set of changes in the sandbox for Module:I18n/complex date that we need for all (or almost all) examples in User_talk:Jarekt/2017#Technical_question to work properly. @MaGa and I thank you very much! Ponor (talk) 17:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Ponor,
Done I updated per your suggestion. Thanks. --Jarekt (talk) 01:21, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Ponor,
Template issue
[edit]Hi, I have this Template:Contact_author_before_editing and in that, at the bottom there is another template for translations. You have made some changes regarding this and right now it doesn't look correct to me. I don't have knowledge for template work so I hope you can look at it, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: I think I fixed it. --Jarekt (talk) 13:05, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Jarekt Looks great, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:55, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-42
[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
- 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. [1][2]
- 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. [3]
- 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. [4]
- Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed. [5]
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. [6]
In depth
- The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes: updates on Wikimedia's authentication system, research to simplify feature development in the MediaWiki platform, updates on Parser Unification and MathML rollout, and more.
- The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition include: research about improving topic suggestions related to countries, improvements to PHPUnit tests, and more.

Bust of Woodrow Wilson in Poznań has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you! |

Adding users to Module:IgenCoa
[edit]Hi JarekT,
After having moved (via igenc id) thousands of files from the root directory to existing users' in here, I eventually looked the source code of Module:IgenCoa;
Do you think that adding a user could be as simple as addig a line in there ?
For an example, inserting:
cvb = { 'I', nil, 'c', 'gf', nil, ':CVB', 'CVB', 'CVB' };
(for user 'CVB' ) - just before the line (59) containing
cy = { 'I', nil, 'c', 'gf', nil, ':Cyygma', 'CY', 'Cyygma' };
…might be an interesting try…
What do you think?
--Kontributor 2K (talk) 12:49, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Kontributor 2K: I added the line, please verify if it works or not. I personally think it is crazy that a LUA code has some per user logic in it, especially related to categories. In the past such categories were very hard to work with resulting in people just removing templates adding them, so I do not like Module:IgenCoa much, but that is what we have. Ideally , moving files to categories should be done by cat-a-lot. --Jarekt (talk) 13:02, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- I have verified, it works, shows the user name and categorizes in right folders
- (I was writing a draft about a minor issue on 1 user)
- If you're ok, I'll work on a relevant user list,
- --Kontributor 2K (talk) 13:11, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Kontributor 2K: If you have more I will be happy to add. --Jarekt (talk) 13:12, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Please use Module:IgenCoa/sandbox--Jarekt (talk) 13:13, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Kontributor 2K: If you have more I will be happy to add. --Jarekt (talk) 13:12, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
@Jarekt: ok I'm done for now, the sandbox may be applied to the module,
If you please --Kontributor 2K (talk) 10:27, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi JarekT,
- I'll be ok for round #2,

Tech News: 2024-43
[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.
Weekly highlight
- The Mobile Apps team has released an update to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the "Donate" button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned navigation refresh to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.
Updates for editors
- Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's Content Discovery Experiments page and subscribe to their newsletter.
- Later this month, logged-out editors of these 12 wikis will start to have temporary accounts created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new type of user account. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available. Read more about the deployment plan across all wikis.
- View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the South Ndebele, Pannonian Rusyn, Obolo, Iban and Tai Nüa Wikipedia languages were created last week. [7][8][9][10][11]
- It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new Wikidata lexeme type launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in the latest Wikifunctions newsletter.
Updates for technical contributors
- Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new
{{#timef:…}}parser function. For example,{{#timef:now|date|en}}will show as "24 October 2024". Previously,{{#time:…}}could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation.#timef(or#timeflfor local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [12][13] - Commons and Meta users can now efficiently retrieve the user's language using
{{USERLANGUAGE}}instead of using{{int:lang}}. [14] - The Product and Tech Advisory Council (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the Movement Strategy's Technology Council initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform. [15]
In depth
- The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: an upcoming Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module, new Community Configuration options, and details on new projects.
- The Wikimedia Foundation is now an official partner of the CVE program, which is an international effort to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This partnership will allow the Security Team to instantly publish common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) records that are affecting MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, along with any other code the Foundation is a steward of.
- The Community Wishlist is now testing machine translations for Wishlist content. Volunteers can now read machine-translated versions of wishes and dive into discussions even before translators arrive to translate content.
Meetings and events
- 24 October - Wiki Education Speaker Series Webinar - Open Source Tech: Building the Wiki Education Dashboard, featuring Wikimedia interns and a Web developer in the panel.
- 20–22 December 2024 - Indic Wikimedia Hackathon Bhubaneswar 2024 in Odisha, India. A hackathon for community members, including developers, designers and content editors, to build technical solutions that improve contributors' experiences.
