Recent changes
- RelatedSites extension has been undeployed. It was used to create interwiki links on Wikivoyage, now handled by Wikidata. [1]
MediaWiki logstash logging is moving to a new infrastructure. This is an ongoing deployment. [2]- codesearch.wmflabs.org has been updated, with new and updated repositories and a new search options for code. [3]
- On several wikis, an account named "Abuse filter" has been created on December 17 to perform some technical maintenance on AbuseFilter. This account has sysop rights but it's a system user and no human can use it. The account already existed on wikis where AbuseFilter can perform blocks, which are issued using this account. See T212268 for more information and future plans.
Problems
- In AbuseFilter, the "Throttle" action takes three parameters: count, period and groups. They must now strictly respect the requirements listed on mediawiki.org. A list of broken filters is on Phabricator. If you're familiar with AbuseFilter, please take a look and fix them. [4]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 8. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from January 9. It will be on all wikis from January 10 (calendar).
Meetings
- Search Platform Office Hours is rescheduled to January 9. Check the details for time and date.

Recent changes
- You can now use Google Translate in the content translation tool. [5][6]
- You can now add captions to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup.
- Earlier a quoted HTML attribute had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [7][8]
- Templates with <templatestyles> could not show the difference between the live template and the sandbox version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. <templatestyles> has a new
wrapperparameter now. You can use it for selectors like.mw-parser-output <wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page>. [9]
Problems
- When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have tags. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [10]
Changes later this week
- You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new FileExporter. It will be a beta feature on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you activate it and check your wiki's configuration file.
- Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [11]
- The AbuseFilter variable
minor_edithas been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on Special:AbuseFilter. - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 15 17:55, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Nap.Wikisource
Hola, estoy seguiendo el desarollo de nap.source (como habrás notado ya) y tenía unas preguntas para ti, porque no tengo idea de cuales son los próximos pasos para el lanzamiento del proyecto. Espero que puedas ayudarme en aclararme.
Sé que en las primeras fases habrá que importar gadgets y modelos. Estoy mirando un poco con los colegas de it.source qué se puede importar desde allì. ¿Y luego? ¿Qué me aconsejas preparar para los primeros tiempos en terminos de pàginas, traducciones, etc...?
Además, ¿sabes cuando se lanzará la plataforma concretamente?
Perdone todas estas preguntas, es sólo que me siento un poco nervioso frente a una obra tan compleja. Gracias! --Ruthven (msg) 16:45, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Buenas tardes, Ruthven. Gracias por tu mensaje. Hasta donde yo recuerdo, una vez la wiki ha sido creada y está operativa la importación del contenido de la wiki "test" (en este caso supongo que wikisource.org) la han llevado a cabo MF-Warburg y/o SPQRobin. Una vez dicho contenido ha sido importado, el wiki se puede editar con total normalidad. Desde mi punto de vista lo primero que deberíais hacer sería votar unos administradores, aunque viene siendo habitual que se le otorguen permisos temporales a un par de usuarios activos en el proyecto "test" para que ayuden con los primeros pasos. Sería conveniente también poner en marcha la redacción y aprobación de políticas del día a día (políticas de votaciones, nombramiento y remoción de administradores, borrados, bloqueos, etc.). Nosotros en es.wikibooks hicimos una cosa que a mí me parece curiosa y útil a la vez y es declarar como aplicables al proyecto las políticas de es.wikipedia en ciertos casos (cfr. b:es:Wikilibros:Aplicación analógica de las políticas de Wikipedia en español) para colmar lagunas normativas al estilo del Código Civil. Respecto a la creación, hubiese sido posible la pasada semana, pero hubo unos problemas técnicos con el script que usan para crear los wikis y hubo que abortar. No te sabría decir cuándo se creará el wiki, pues en la actualidad solo una persona se está encargando de este tipo de solicitudes (Reedy). Quizá le puedas preguntar en Phabricator. Espero haber sido de utilidad. Un saludo, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 17:18, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Gracias por toda esta información. Si la wiki de test es mul.source, ya están muchos libros importados (tenemos como 10.000 páginas ya y solo como 3000 leidas). Ahora me pongo en el tema de votar unos administradores (normales y de interfaz). Donde lo hacemos? En mul.source? Por el resto, supongo que, como es un proyecto pequeño, podemos adoptar las reglas de it.source. Ahora veremos... Muchas gracias! --Ruthven (msg) 17:32, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Buenas de nuevo. Yo personalmente lo haría en nap.wikisource para que quedase todo en un mismo lugar. Cualquier duda, a tu disposición quedo. Un saludo, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 22:00, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Tech News
- Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta. [12]
Recent changes
- The content translation tool can now use version 2 as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature. For example it adds the tracking category
Pages with unreviewed translationsto translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category inSpecial:TrackingCategorieson Wikipedias. - https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF, EPUB or ODT. Previously this was 200 pages.
Problems
- When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [13]
- MassMessage is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [14][15]
- Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [16]
Changes later this week
- You will be able to use template styles in the
Modulenamespace. [17] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (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 23 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Hilo en RFH
Hola Marco, no pensaba que fuese el propio vándalo el que solicitaba la protección ya que esa IP estaba traduciendo páginas. En cualquier caso yo no tengo tiempo y lo tengo que dejar, lo dejo en tus expertas manos. Por cierto, no tienes que disculparte por retirar el hilo, has hecho lo que tenías que hacer. Un saludo.--Syum90 (talk) 13:02, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hola. Este es el típico "majete" que trata de camuflar buenas ediciones[citation needed] con troleo y confusión posterior. No lo sabías, así que no tienes de qué preocuparte. Muchas gracias por todo. Un saludo, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:26, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- Me parece increíble que haya gente que llegue al punto de idear estrategias sólo para hacer el payaso un rato, pero bueno eso es lo que tenemos por aquí a veces. Un saludo y gracias por la aclaración.--Syum90 (talk) 11:08, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Recent changes
- The Wikimedia servers use HHVM to run the PHP code. They are going to use PHP7 and stop using HHVM. You can test PHP7 with a new beta feature. That way you can help find and report problems.
Problems
- When someone moves a page to a name that already exists that page that had the name the article is moved to is deleted. For a couple of months this didn't always work. Some users saw an error message instead. This has now been fixed. [18]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 30 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
