Tech News: 2018-02

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

  • On Wikidata, the "save" button when you edit is now called "publish". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "Save page" to "Publish changes". This is to help new editors understand what it does. [1][2]
  • Some edits will get an automatic tag on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways. [3]
  • Special:UnusedFiles shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons only shows files that are not used on any wiki. [4]
  • Structured discussions now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation has been updated. [5][6]

Problems

  • Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work. The developers are looking into the problem. [7]
  • With the new filters in the recent changes, "Exclude selected" in "Namespaces" did not work for "Saved filters" between 13 December and 2 January. When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again. [8]
  • The latest version of Google Chrome broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see #R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9 instead of #Résumé even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March). [9]
  • Some POST requests to the API took longer than usual in parts of December. This affected the Wikidata UI and some gadgets the most. It has now been fixed. [10]

Changes later this week

  • Wikidata will be moved to its own database servers. This is because it is growing and needs more resources. Because of this you will be able to read but not edit Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis. [11]
  • The font size in the editing window will change slightly for some users. It will now look the same on all browsers and operating systems. [12][13]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 January. It will be on all wikis from 11 January (calendar).
  • WikiEditor's ResourceLoader modules have been simplified to one: ext.wikiEditor. All the other modules are now deprecated aliases and should be removed. [14]

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 9 January at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
  • You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Category:Sauria

Hello! Is there a way we could determine if this category is an order or a suborder, and then fit it into the taxonomy links so that it is not confusing? We apparently have it as an order here, but in some of the taxonomy links, it is a suborder. While organizing zoological illustrations, I kept going in circles, such as Sauria (order)--> Gekkota --> Sauria (suborder), yet both Sauria links go to the same page (order). We can't have it both ways or people will run into problems with organization as I did. If I attempt to fix the problem my changes will be reverted, so would you please fix this problem for me? Thanks for your help! Ruff tuff cream puff (talk) 16:18, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello Ruff tuff cream puff
Yes, classification is sometimes a mess.
The solution is to provide a lot of sources and explain the problem.
Then we will take the solution adopted by the majority of sources.
I will help you.
Cheers Liné1 (talk) 06:48, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
I must say that it is a mess.
Most contributors did modifications without sources.
I hate this. Liné1 (talk) 09:18, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Recent changes

  • Bureaucrats on Wikimedia wikis where the Translate extension is installed can now add and remove the translation administrator permission by default. Administrators of wikis where this extension is enabled can add and remove this permission to or from themselves. Wikis that used a different configuration before have not changed. [15]
  • There is a new Discourse test support channel for Wikimedia developers. You can ask questions or answer others questions about MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development. [16]

Problems

  • Last week's MediaWiki update was rolled back. This was because of a bug that changed non-ASCII characters when a page was edited. [17][18]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 16 January at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • A few hundred wikis with less than ten high-priority errors in Linter categories will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 31 January. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [19][20]

wikidata

I understand. Wikidata is the way to go. JMK (talk) 10:57, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

So why does the English name not appear in the VN box in Commons? And where will I add vernacular names in languages that are not provided for in wikidata? JMK (talk) 22:12, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Template error...

Inicialmente, nos desculpe por usar de um tradutor automático para vos falar; como você tem sido o único editor da Template:Incorrect biology template usage/AssertEmpty, que é usada pela Template:Lepidoptera, a mesma vem gerando uma mensagem estranha onde está a ser utilizada, como na Category:Ascalapha. Se possível, pode dar uma corrigida? Grato, André Koehne TALK TO ME 12:25, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Au départ, nous nous excusons d'utiliser un traducteur automatique pour vous parler; comme vous avez été le seul éditeur du Template:Incorrect biology template usage/AssertEmpty, qui est utilisé par Template:Lepidoptera, il a généré un message étrange où il est utilisé, comme dans la Category:Ascalapha. Si possible, pouvez-vous donner un corrigé? Reconnaissant, André Koehne TALK TO ME 12:25, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello André Koehne
The error is wanted.
The template has been badly used.
There are 22 such errors that you can find in Category:Pages with incorrect biology template usage.
Of course, I am correcting them.
Best regards Liné1 (talk) 21:29, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Recent changes

Problems

  • With the new OOUI look menus and popups can open upwards instead of downwards. This was meant to make long dropdown menus easier to use. Sometimes these menus have been overlapped by other things. This is now fixed. [23]

Changes later this week

  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

Future changes

  • irc.wikimedia.org will be rebooted on 22 February. Some bots use this to get the recent changes feed. They need to be able to reconnect automatically or they will not work until they have been fixed. Most bots can reconnect automatically. [24]

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

  • Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to. [26]
  • The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language. [27]
  • Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded. [28]

Problems

  • Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this. [29]

Changes later this week

  • When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users. [30]
  • When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like gallery widths="150px". You could use em or % instead of px but it would make no difference. You can now only use 150px or nothing (150). If you write something else, instead of treating it like px, it will not work. [31]
  • The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of Yes or No it will say Thank and Cancel. It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public. [32]
  • Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it. [33]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar).

Meetings

  • Recurrent item You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 February at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Hallo Liné1, I answered on my talk page --Llez (talk) 17:21, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-07

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

  • TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator. [36][37][38]
  • Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.

Changes later this week

  • You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages. [39]
  • The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like {{reflist}}, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates. [40]
  • The abuse filter extension has a new feature contains_all that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. [41]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar).

Extinct Caudata

Just wondering why two of the extinct Caudata must be categorised in both Category:Extinct Caudata as well as in the parent category Category:Caudata? Are these in some way special that COM:OVERCAT doesn't apply? - Takeaway (talk) 10:42, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello Takeaway,
I reverted your changes on Category:Karaurus and Category:Albanerpetontidae.
On wikicommons taxon categories must be placed in taxon categories and Category:Extinct Caudata is not considered a taxon category.
In fact Category:Extinct Caudata its parents and children correspond to a separate tree of categories.
Best regards Liné1 (talk) 10:44, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
@Liné1. How about Category:Seminobatrachus? - Takeaway (talk) 10:47, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello Takeaway
There are 3 purposes for putting all direct children of Caudata directly in Category:Caudata (not in Category:Extinct Caudata):
Best regards Liné1 (talk) 13:30, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
About Category:Seminobatrachus, it must be in both Category:Extinct Caudata and Category:Caudata.
Hopefully we will be able to move it from Category:Caudata to [[:Category:<AFamily>]] without having to create [[:Category:Extinct <AFamily>]]
Regards Liné1 (talk) 13:30, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for your extensive reply. I best let you fill in the new Caudata categories that you have created as I'd need to read up on each and every entry first. I'm already happy having categorised Caudata by country. I hope more people will help optimise the category. Regards, - Takeaway (talk) 14:28, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Recent changes

  • The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed. [43][44]
  • You can now see statistics for pageviews per wiki per country. You can see this on maps or in a table. [45]

Problems

  • Linter is reporting estimated counts instead of actual counts for some wikis. This is because of performance problems. You might notice a false higher number in linter counts for some categories. This will be fixed as soon as the performance problem has been fixed. [46]
  • Last week the way that Visual Editor displays references lists was changed. As a result, the references generated by specific templates like {{sfn}} are not visible in the references list whilst editing. [47][48]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 February. It will be on all wikis from 22 February (calendar).

Recent changes

  • Checkusers and stewards can now view private data such as the IP address in the abuse log. This data is removed regularly. [50]

Problems

  • Last week's MediaWiki version was rolled back because of a bug. [51][52]
  • Since the deployment train last week until late evening on 20 February UTC, when you thanked someone for an edit, the thank went to the latest unthanked edit to that page. It didn't matter which edit you tried to give thanks for. This has been fixed. [53]
  • Special:Statistics did not take newly created pages into account since 13 February 2018. Because of this the statistics are recreated. [54][55][56]

Changes later this week

  • Users with version 10 of the Internet Explorer browser will no longer get JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis. If you use this browser on your computer, you can try upgrading to a newer version. [57]
  • Advanced item The Wikinews wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 27 February. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [58][59]

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 make longer edit summaries. [60]

Changes later this week

  • You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. [61]
  • On Special:AbuseLog you can now choose to list only actions that actually made an edit. Other actions are when the filter warned the editor or blocked the edit from being made. There are also more search options. [62][63]
  • Advanced item Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor, but it is complex. The tool will now warn in the JavaScript console if the configuration isn't correct. Soon Citoid will disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [64]

Recent changes

  • 3D models can now be uploaded to Commons. [65]
  • Page Previews has been updated to use HTML for previews. This has fixed many issues. An A/B test was done on English and German Wikipedia to measure how it is used. Other changes were also made. [66]
  • Some edits have to be checked against too many conditions before they can trigger an abuse filter. If that is the reason no filter is triggered the edit will be tagged for review. [67]
  • Auto-saving has been added to the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. Right now it is meant to help if your browser crashes or if you accidentally close a tab. [68]

Problems

  • The abuse filter did not tag all edits that should have been tagged after last week's MediaWiki version had come to the wikis. It was fixed on 9 March (UTC). [69]

Changes later this week

  • You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. This was originally planned to happen last week. [70]
  • It is now possible to specify the block parameters for each filter in Special:AbuseFilter. The parameters include block duration and if the user should be blocked from editing their own talk page. The block duration is separate for anonymous and registered users. [71][72]
  • Advanced item A hundred Wikimedia wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 13 and 14 March. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [73][74][75]

Help needed with new Ordo Enterobacterales

Hello Liné1,

I thought it would be easier to rename the category from Enterobacteriales to Enterobacterales and add the new Familiae as new categories. But actually it wasn't easy and now I've noticed that you undid my actions. Let me please assure that I'm not trying to mess up anything, but only want to help maintainig the categories to the state of the art. To prove this, here are some links:

Kind regards, --A doubt (talk) 20:20, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello Liné1,
thanks again for your help, I tried to follow your example on Category:Enterobacteriaceae, e.g. here: Category:Erwinia. And the “Template LPSN” is very helpful, thank you for that one. Now I have a request: Can you insert a similar template for LPSN as a source on Wikispecies? There is already a “Template NCBI” created by you, which I have used. I don't know how to create a “Template LPSN” and since it would be like the one here on wikicommons, this way would probably generate licence problems?
Thanks in advance, --A doubt (talk) 20:39, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello A doubt
I added wikispecies:Template:LPSN. I still have a problem with the doc, but you can already use it.
Don't hesitate to ask if you want more template copy.
BR 12:39, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello Liné1,
You're fast, thank you! After a look at wikispecies:Category:External link templates I would not think of anything missing. But I have written another request here: wikispecies:Wikispecies talk:Templates. Maybe you can help there, too or do you know someone I could ask for that template?
Kind regards, --A doubt (talk) 16:58, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
Supplement: Actually there is a “Template PMID” “missing” at wikispecies:Category:External link templates, similar to Template:PMID here on wikicommons. Your help would be appreciated. Kind regards, --A doubt (talk) 23:58, 23 March 2018 (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.

Changes later this week

  • Some of the interface icons and text sizes will change slightly, as part of the updates for improved accessibility and consistency. These icons are used in many features, including Notifications, Recent Changes, Beta Features, Visual Editor, 2017 Wikitext Editor, Code Editor, and others. While editor toolbars, dialogs, and menus will appear slightly bigger; elements on special pages will be slightly smaller. Functionality will not change. [79] [80]
  • Advanced item The deprecated #toc and #toctitle CSS ids have been removed. If your wiki was still using these for fake Tables of Content (ToC) then these might lose their styling. They can be replaced with .toc and .toctitle classes where appropriate. [81]

This will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on wiki size. Read more details. [83]
  • Changes are coming to search for Serbian projects. Cyrillic and Latin variants of a word and different grammatical forms of a word will be able to find each other. Read more on MediaWiki in Serbian or English.

Tech News: 2018-14

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

  • Template Wizard script available for testing. It will show up as a puzzle-piece icon in the 2010 WikiEditor. You can click on the icon to insert a template.
  • Advanced item The Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey is to be sent to participants around the world this week. If you are volunteer developer, and have contributed code to any pieces of MediaWiki, gadgets, or tools, please take 20 to 40 minutes to complete the survey.

Problems

  • MediaWiki deployment train has been rolled back to version 1.31.0-wmf.26 on week 13, due to a multiplication of lost connections during MySQL queries. Some of the recent changes may have not been applied. They will be deployed next week. [84][85][86]
  • The Notifications badge icons were overlapping other links. This has been fixed. [87]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 April. It will be on all wikis from 5 April (calendar).
  • Advanced item User subpages ending in .json will now be protected from other people editing them, like .js and .css pages already are. If you have a tool that stores static configuration, you can now use a subpage like User:Example/mygadget.json to do this without concerns. [88]
  • Advanced item Tidy will be replaced by RemexHtml on the next set of wikis. On April 4, we plan to turn off Tidy on all Wikiquotes (except frwikiquote) and Wikimedia chapters and user groups wikis. 23 wikis will have Tidy replaced this time. [89][90][91]
  • Advanced item AbuseFilter will transition to use OOUI starting April 4, and the rule editor will also be changed to a CodeEditor (ACE) similar to what is found on user JavaScript pages. The move to OOUI will continue over the next few weeks. [92] [93]
  • In Special:Preferences, the preference "Reload the watchlist automatically whenever a filter is changed (JavaScript required)" is now only visible for users who have opt-out the New Filters for the Watchlist. [94]
  • You can see names of individual abuse filters in Special:AbuseLog. Now if the name of an abuse filter contains some wikisyntax like links, it will not change to a link when displayed. [95]
  • You can now search through filter patterns at Special:AbuseFilter. You may specify either a plain string or a regular expression and the matching filters will show a snippet of their pattern with the match highlighted. [96]

Meetings

  • Recurrent item You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 3 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
  • Recurrent item Advanced item You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 4 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • If you're using, creating or improving Lua modules, you can give your feedback to help harmonizing the modules across wikis and add more useful functions.
  • Advanced item On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with less than 50 entries in all high priority linter categories. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml by end of June 2018. Please follow T175706 to monitor progress of Tidy replacement. [97][98]

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

  • Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [99]
  • You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [100]
  • The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [101]
  • Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [102]

Problems

  • The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [103]
  • For a week in March rollbacks got both the rollback and the undo tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [104]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 April. It will be on all wikis from 12 April (calendar).
  • Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. [105]

Changes later this week

  • Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [106]
  • Advanced item Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (=== and !==) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [107][108]

Recent changes

  • The parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [114]

Problems

  • Advanced item We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [115]

Changes later this week

  • You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [116]
  • When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [117]
  • Advanced item You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the Editing section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [118]
  • Advanced item There is a new abuse filter function called equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

Future changes

  • The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jhare@wikimedia.org to leave private feedback.
  • Advanced item All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [119][120][121]

Problems

  • Advanced item The abuse filters had a problem with blocks where you had changed how long they last. It used the default length everywhere. This was in late April.

Léna (talk) 19:20, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Category:Treubia

I've added a category for this genus, and also for its family and order, but have not added all the off-site connections.

This is part of a long-awaited update going on at WikiSpecies for the Marchantiophyta. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:38, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Addendum: The standard source classification I'm following for Wikispecies is Söderström et al., 2016. IT is a collaborative paper like APG. However, there have been some significant changes to Corsiniaceae, Exormothecaceae, and Marchantiaceae; for example, Bucegia romanica and Preissia quadrata are now considered to be species of Marchantia But I have already made the changes to those families at WSpecies, and have cited the papers for the changes in the appropriate places.

You can find the full citation to the Söderström article, and a link to all 800 pages of the article from the References section of species:Jungermanniopsida. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:50, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Addendum: All pages on Wikispecies for families and higher-ranked taxa of Marchantiophyta have now been added. The family pages on Wikispecies list the current genera (all except Lejeuneaceae, which is a very large family). --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:55, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Request for help

Salu Liné1,
Today two points for your help again:
1. Yesterday I changed the templates {{Tysp}} and {{Typegenus}}. With the green color in the background we could not read the text anymore. Can you please check, if my work is ok?
2. In {{VN}} is no more a blank line between the language and name. I think, it is not a good look. Can you help?
Cheers. Orchi (talk) 17:08, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Orchi
I corrected point 2
For point 1, I don't see the difference. In fact, I don't see background colors of {{VN}}, {{SN}}, {{Tysp}}, {{Typegenus}}...
Cheers Liné1 (talk) 07:27, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
Salu Liné1,
...point 1: the green background was in categories only.
...do you have time, to solve a (I think) a greater problem for Commons and Wikispecies?
Thanks for your help!! Cheers. Orchi (talk) 10:27, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello Orchi
You know that I have always time to help you.
Cheers Liné1 (talk) 12:41, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Salu Liné1,
First of all thank you very much for your very kind words!!
I'll try to explain the theme in short sentences:

  • KEW has changed „Emonocot“ total.
  • in the past the link for e.g. Anacamptis was: Anacamptis
  • now the first page is: [132]
  • the next following link is: [133]
  • in the past was used the id number of KEW by Emonocot.
  • now is the id number of IPNI in use.
  • Therefore the "Templates:EMonocot" in Commons and Wikispecies are not in function more.

Can you find a way to connect the names of a genus or a species by ignoring the old ID number of KEW in the tempates? e.g. ({Emocotdir|2013|May|20|8565})

I hope, you understand my explanations. Cheers. Orchi (talk) 16:47, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Salu Liné1,
...it is a great thing to have a lot of knowledge. Super!!! I have copied your work in Wikispecies also and all is in function again. Merci beaucoup. Cheers. Orchi (talk) 10:31, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello I will show you. Cheers Liné1 (talk) 07:00, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello EncycloPetey,
The syntax is a bit boring: see here
But it allows to copy it to all genera list without thinking: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category%3ARiellaceae&type=revision&diff=316922130&oldid=316922122
Also in a few years, when we will update the list, the disamb well be easely kept.

Category:Anthus ruficollis

Hi Liné1 - I've changed this back again, as the BioLib source is full of errors (e.g. IOC do NOT use the non-existent name "rufogularis", and Anthus cervinus is a completely different species). I'd strongly advise rejecting this source as unreliable. Also the SN template you've been using is not good, it shows a lack of awareness of nomenclatural structure, omitting some important information, while duplicating other information unnecessarily. Simple point: for birds, just stick to IOC and optionally IUCN for conservation status; other sources should be moved to wikidata, and not listed in Commons (long lists of sources are out of Commons scope!). Hope this helps! - MPF (talk) 11:02, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

So you admit you reverted the change without correcting the problem, without even telling there is a problem...
Great job, excellent respect to other contributors.

Not sure what you mean there? I was the one who originally created the category and maintained it, and then updated it with the genus transfer; you just added "itis" spam, BioLib errors, and other such nuisances without any respect for my contributions! Why do you have to add all this irrelevant extra stuff from other sources?? I'm sorry, but your version is much more complicated without adding anything useful, including the patent nonsense of listing the current name as just a synonym, which of course it isn't. And why clutter the page up with adding avibase? They're not our avian taxonomic authority, IOC is. Put the avibase stuff in Wikidata where it belongs, not here: Commons is a file store, not a taxonomic database! - MPF (talk) 15:15, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
