Wikimedia-yhteisön uusimmat tech-uutiset. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty toisille kielille.

Tuoreet muutokset

• The Wikipedia app for Android now invites users to add Wikidata descriptions to Wikidata objects that have Wikipedia articles but no Wikidata descriptions. It will only invite users who have added a number of Wikidata descriptions in the app without being reverted. This is to avoid spam and bad edits. [9][10]

Ongelmat

• Tech-uutiset lähetettiin myöhässä viime viikolla MassMessagen ongelman vuoksi. Sama ongelma koski myös muita uutiskirjeitä. [11]

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

• Näet koska päivitit viimeksi tuoreet muutokset -sivun. Näin ollen näet kuinka tuoreita muutokset ovat. [12]
• When you write a comment in Structured Discussions but have not posted it yet your web browser will save it in local storage instead of session storage. This means you do not lose them even if you close your web browser. Structured Discussions used to be called Flow. [13]
• Voit ottaa pois käytöstä rajapyykeistä tulevat ilmoitukset. Ne onnittelevat sinua saavutettuasi tietyn muokkausmäärän wikissä. [14]
• MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 30. huhtikuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 1. toukokuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 2. toukokuuta (kalenteri).

Tapaamiset

• Voit osallistua teknisen neuvonnan tapaamiseen IRC:ssä. Tapaamisen aikana vapaaehtoiset kehittäjät voivat kysyä neuvoa. Tapaaminen on 1. toukokuuta klo 15.00 (UTC). Katso miten voit liittyä.

Tulevia muutoksia

• The Wikidata wb_terms table will be dropped. This will affect some Wikidata tools. They need to be updated. The table has become too big which is causing problems. This will happen on 29 May. You can read more. You can ask for help if you need it.
• Wikimedia wikis will soon use a token when you log out. This changes how the API works. Some tools might need to be updated. [15]

Wikimedia-yhteisön uusimmat tech-uutiset. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty toisille kielille.

Tuoreet muutokset

• The report for phase 1 of the talk pages consultation 2019 has been published. Communities are invited to start phase 2 of the consultation on their wikis.

Ongelmat

• File descriptions for files from Commons were not shown properly on other Wikimedia wikis for a few days. For example the image descriptions and license information were missing. This has now been fixed. [17][18]
• Jotkin eroavaisuuslinkit näyttävät virheviestin yrittäessäsi avata linkin. Kehittäjät korjaavat ongelmaa. Se saattaa johtua joistakin muokkauskommenteista. [19][20]

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

• MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 21. toukokuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 22. toukokuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 23. toukokuuta (kalenteri).

• Voit osallistua teknisen neuvonnan tapaamiseen IRC:ssä. Tapaamisen aikana vapaaehtoiset kehittäjät voivat kysyä neuvoa. Tapaaminen on 22. toukokuuta klo 15.00 (UTC). Katso miten voit liittyä.

Tulevia muutoksia

• Wikipedian käännöstyökalu voi käyttää konekääntämistä. Siinä on järjestelmä, joka pysäyttää käännöksen julkaisemisen, jos muokkaaja ei korjaa konekäännöksen virheitä. Järjestelmä joko varoittaa tai pysäyttää muokkaajan, jos hän vaikuttaa vain kopioivan konekääntäjän antaman tuloksen. Jos tämä on liian tiukka tai liian heikko, kerro kielitiimille. [21]
• The Wikidata wbeditentity API endpoint will remove all aliases if the request includes an empty alias. This is how it supposed to work. It has not been working this way because of a bug. This will start on 12 June. [22]

Wikimedia-yhteisön uusimmat tech-uutiset. Toivomme sinun jakavan tietoa näistä muutoksista yhteisössäsi. Uutiset on käännetty toisille kielille.

Tuoreet muutokset

• You can now write all special letters in all African Wikipedia languages. This works in the desktop version. [25]
• There is now a field called depicts on Commons. This is a way to show what is in a picture with the help of Wikidata. It is still in development. [26]
• Jotkin Toolforgen työkalut saattavat hajota 3. kesäkuuta tietokantamuutosten vuoksi. Ylläpitäjien pitäisi päivittää heidän työkalunsa käyttämään uutta mallia. [27][28]

Ongelmat

• Wikimedia Commonsin muokkaaminen ei onnistu 30 minuutin ajan 19. kesäkuuta klo 5.00 (UTC). Tämän syynä on laitteisto-ongelma. [29]

Muutokset myöhemmin tällä viikolla

• Joissakin wikeissä on yksi välilehti visuaaliselle muokkaimelle ja yksi välilehti wikiteksti-muokkaimelle. Toisissa wikeissä on vain yksi välilehti. Jos wikissäsi on kaksi välilehteä, niin punalinkin painaminen on avannut aina wikiteksti-muokkaimen. Jatkossa avautuu muokkain, jota olet viimeksi käyttänyt muokatessasi. [30]
• MediaWikin uusi versio otetaan käyttöön testiwikeissä ja MediaWiki.orgissa 4. kesäkuuta. Se otetaan käyttöön kaikissa ei-Wikipedia-wikeissä ja joissakin Wikipedioissa 5. kesäkuuta. Se on käytössä kaikissa wikeissä 6. kesäkuuta (kalenteri).

Tapaamiset

Tuoreet muutokset

• When you create a PDF from a page on the wiki this is now done by Proton. Before this we used Electron. It should look the same but work better. Both use Chromium. This is a different system from when you collect several articles into a book and make a PDF from them. [31][32]
• Merkityt versiot (FlaggedRevs) -laajennos käyttää nyt standardinmukaisia OOUI-kuvakkeita. Seuraavassa päivityksessä on pieniä korjauksia sijoitukseen. [33]
• Bots and other scripts that do not set an identifiable User-Agent may find their requests strictly rate-limited until they identify themselves properly. [34]

Ongelmat

• Please check if the Flagged Revisions configuration on your wiki is as you expect (or as it was a few weeks ago). If not, please report it. [35]
