Brugerdiskussion:Palnatoke/Automatarkiv 74
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
- Files on Wikimedia Commons can now be 2 GB big. The old limit was 1 GB. [1]
- Welcome notifications now have a different symbol. English Wikipedia already had this one. [2]
- The Wikimedia memory cache servers in the Eqiad cluster have now been upgraded to Debian 8 (Jessie). Some users might have had to log in again because of this. [3]
- It is now easier to categorize images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in the Commons Android app. [4]
Bare attributes in tags now parse according to the HTML5 specifications.
<pages from= to= section=1>
will parse as<pages from="to=" section="1">
instead of<pages from="" to="" section="1">
as it used to. Please use<pages from="" to="" section=1>
or<pages section=1>
instead. This is mostly likely to affect pages on Wikisource projects. [5]
Problems
- Phabricator has been a bit unstable lately. This should be fixed now. [6]
- The PageView API shows wrong data between 23 February and 29 February for pages with special characters in their title. [7]
- The parsing change mentioned above caused a large number of pages to break, especially on Wikisource. [8]
- You may see falsely formatted edit links on both mobile and desktop devices. Mobile devices can also show incorrect formatted table of contents. This should be fixed soon. [9]
- Templates using TemplateData that were edited with the visual editor might have some problems in wikitext mode. This can be fixed by editing and saving the page by using the visual editor without making any changes. [10]
Changes this week
- Cross-wiki notifications will be enabled as a beta feature on all wikis on 10 March. You will be able to get notifications when something happens on another Wikimedia wiki. [11]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 March. It will be on all wikis from 10 March (calendar).
- Wikivoyages will get the Kartographer extension. Kartographer will allow
<mapframe>
and<maplink>
tags in an article to insert an interactive map and overlay it with different markers. You can add ideas and suggestions to the Maps talk page. If you find any bugs, you can report them in Phabricator. [12]
Meetings
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 8 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones. [13]
- The Wikimedia technical operations team plans to do some server work on 22 March. This could cause some problems, for example make it possible to read but not edit the Wikimedia wikis for a short period of time. The date for this might change. [14]

- Well, we almost have the former offices of the Danish Maritime Authority on File:Miljømin Haraldsgade.jpg - Vermundsgade is the road to the left in the image. In fact, the Maritime Authority and the Nature Agency had a shared workplace cafeteria. As can be seen on OpenStreetMap, their main entrance was on the other side of the house (the photo was taken from approximately here). --Palnatoke (diskussion) 7. mar 2016, 14:39 (CET)
- Thanks for pointing it out! I'll add the photo to the English page about the ministry of the environment WhisperToMe (diskussion) 8. mar 2016, 05:55 (CET)

Several of these have been done by another user: (See Commons:User_talk:Jebulon#Photo_requests) but if you want to take more angles of some of these (such as Sankt Petri Schule) you are welcome to do so if you like :) - I marked the ones done, and added a few more WhisperToMe (diskussion) 11. mar 2016, 07:47 (CET)

Amping - forslag om sletning
[rediger kildetekst]Hej Palnatoke, Den foreslåede sletning bunder netop i at turneringssejrene er inferiøre (som andre diskussionsdeltagere ser ud til også at mene). Hvis Auping skal stå i Wiki DK, så skulle snesevis, nej HUNDREDEVIS, af andre tennisspillere nævnes. Derfor den manglende notabilitet..! At hendes data på Wiki ikke er opdateret siden 2010 (og personen er stadig kun 22-23 år!) tyder på en 'karriere', der er gået helt i stå. Og som aldrig har haft Wiki-notabilitet. At Ampings biografi overhovedet er kommet ind, forekommer ganske uforståeligt. Det ligner en forældres eller træners overambitiøse forsøg på at føre den omtalte person (som jeg ikke kender) fremad til et niveau, der overhovedet ikke matches af frk. Ampings resultater. - - - Når jeg skriver her på siden til dig, er det fordi der på den side, hvor dine spørgsmål (og fire andre personers kommentarer) figurerer, ikke ses et oplagt link til at skrive yderligere ind (jeg har prøvet 'diskussion', men gik så via 'Palnatoke'). Måske kommer disse linjer alligevel ind på dén side, men det virker ikke logisk... Du er meget velkommen til at KOPIERe denne 'skrivelse' ind på diskussions-siden (hvis den altså ikke automatisk dirigeres derhen)! Med venlig hilsen, Jørgen Schouboe14. mar 2016, 02:06 (CET)14. mar 2016, 02:06 (CET)~~
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
- The mobile web interface no longer suggests HiDPI thumbnails. This is to take up less bandwidth on slow or expensive connections. [15]
- The search engine on wikipedia.org has been updated. [16]
Changes this week
- Wikimedia has a new backup data center in Dallas. Because of planned work on this, you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for a short period of time on both 22 March and 24 March. This could be postponed to April 18. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. Because of a test, there will also be a couple of minutes where you can't edit the wikis on 15 March starting 07:00 UTC. You can read more about the server work. There will be more notifications and updates about this.
- Administrators and other users with advanced permissions will need to have an 8-byte long passwords. This change takes place on 15 March. Users with too short passwords will be asked to change password the next time they log in. This was decided in a discussion on Meta and is because they can use tools that can hurt the wikis. [17]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 March. It will be on all wikis from 17 March (calendar).
- The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones. [18]
Meetings
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 15 March at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
You can join the next meeting with the Architecture committee. The topics this week are backlog and thumb API. The meeting will be on 16 March at 21:00 (UTC). See how to join.
