हाल के बदलाव
- Wikimedia no longer uses visitor statistics from comScore. [१]
- You can make interactive graphs with the Graph extension. There is now a tutorial for how to do this. [२]
समस्यायें
- Some pages do not turn in up in categories where they should be. This is because link tables are sometimes not populated. [३]
इस सप्ताह के परिवर्तन
- The Nuke extension will work with Flow. This will make it easier to handle spam in Flow. [४]
- New file uploads will now be patrollable. [५]
- Internet Explorer 8 will no longer have JavaScript support. You will still be able to browse and edit Wikipedia if you use Internet Explorer 8, but will not be able to use some features. This can be solved by upgrading to a newer version or switching to a different browser. [६][७]
बैठक
-
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 12 January at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.
भविष्य में परिवर्तन
URLs in the recent changes IRC feed will no longer be rewritten to unencrypted HTTP. This could be a breaking change for bots dependent on the IRC feed. [८]- The edit tabs for the wikitext editor and the visual editor will be combined to one single edit tab. You will be able to choose which one you prefer. If you are not logged in, your choice will be saved as a cookie in your browser. You can test the single edit tab. [९][१०]
- There is a beta feature that adds links to the subject on other Wikimedia projects. This works much like the links to for example Wikipedia articles in other languages. It will go out of beta testing and be enabled for everyone in January. Wikis that don't want this can decide to have it disabled. [११][१२]
- The difference between "alerts" and "messages" notifications is unclear to some. The developers want feedback at the Phabricator task or on MediaWiki.org so they can make this better. You can give feedback in your language if you can't write in English.
