Tech News: 2017-39

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

  • Wikitext syntax highlighting is a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. This beta feature is based on CodeMirror. You can now search through the entire article with CTRL+F or cmd+F when you edit. Before it just searched through a part of the article. The developers are also fixing a couple of other bugs. [1][2]
  • Administrators on wikis that use Structured Discussions as a beta feature or by default can now create and move Structured Discussions boards. Structured Discussions was previously called Flow. [3]

Changes later this week

  • You now get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account and fails. If they try from a device or IP address that have logged in to your account before you will be notified after five failed attempts. For security reasons you will soon get an email by default when someone tries to log in to your account and when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address. This can be turned off in your preferences. [4]
  • Users with extremely old browsers (for example Netscape 2–4, released from 1995–1997) which do not support Unicode will no longer be able to edit. They should try to install a new browser. [5]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 September. It will be on all wikis from 28 September. (calendar).

Meetings

Future changes

  • The Wikimedia Foundation Readers department has proposed changing the mobile website. You can read more on mediawiki.org. This would be a big change.
  • You can't use OCG to create PDFs after 1 October. This is because of technical problems. You can still create PDFs. Tech News 2017/37 said the function to create PDFs from books would still work. It is now clear it will not work for the next few months. The developers are working on fixing this. You can read more on mediawiki.org.

User:YiFeiBot

I hope this is the correct contact method for your bot. It is incorrectly marking images with 'no infobox' when there are. Your bot is not recognising infoboxes. Ex: Image:Crookes Cemetery - Chapel 01-05-06.jpg. Captain Scarlet (talk) 08:47, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

@Captain Scarlet: Where is the infobox template on that page? I don't see one. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:13, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
I didn't say infobox template. There is an infobox on the example, not that infobox. Your bot's continuing to mark infoboxed media with the missing infobox tag, can it be stopped? eg: [6], there is an infobox. Captain Scarlet (talk) 10:24, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but using custom infoboxes are not endorsed by standard practice. Using standard infobox templates has many benefits, such as for Commons:Machine-readable data, standard css classes for user customization, and mobile-adjusted font sizes. Using any non-standard infobox template will not be recognized as "infobox" by the bot. You may want to transclude a standard infobox template within your custom infobox template. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 13:52, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Recent changes

  • You can now use preload features in the visual editor. This means you can create links to create new pages and some text will already be in the edit window when someone clicks on it. [7]

Changes later this week

  • If you have turned on "Automatically enable most beta features" you will now get the 2017 wikitext editor. Before this you had to turn it on manually even though it is a beta feature. [8]
  • Special:Block and Special:Unblock will get the OOUI look. [9]
  • The jQuery library will be upgraded to version 3 on all Wiktionary wikis from 2 October. It will be on all non-Wikipedia wikis from 4 October. It will be on all wikis from 5 October. [10]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 October. It will be on all wikis from 5 October (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 3 October at 19:00 (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 4 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • A new feature called Reading Lists are coming to the Wikipedia mobile apps. First it will be in the Android version. Reading Lists are a private user preference where you can see lists of articles on multiple devices. You can give feedback on this feature. [11]
  • The search function has used fallback languages for language analysis. This means a language could be analysed with the grammar of a completely unrelated language to find related words. This will be removed from most wikis the week starting with 9 October. You can read more and give feedback.

Did you ever get this working again? Sorry, just I do want to come back to work with Gallica images, but if there isn't a way to get them... Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:36, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, but I am currently, and in the near future, unable to allocate any time on this project. I think, not 100% certain, Revent and Yann was investigating on some alternatives a while back, so you may want to ask them. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 17:57, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
Right-o. No worries. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:59, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Flickr Review bot

Is the flickrbot marking images a bit slowly in the past day? I notice there are 250+ flickr images needing review. Some are images like this that were tagged for review 1 day ago by Flock...so I marked this one. I assume its just temporary. Just thought its strange that itr marks maybe 15-20 images at one hour and then 1-2 images in the next hour or two, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:47, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Problems

  • You will not be able to edit or upload files to Commons for around 30 minutes on 11 October. This will start at 06:00 UTC. This is because of work to let Commons show 3D models. [14]

Changes later this week

  • The font in the edit window is monospace by default. Today you can change preferences to another font family or use "the browser default" instead of monospace. Switching to the browser default has only changed the font on Macs. The option to use browser default will be removed this week. [15]
  • If you want to print a page or make a PDF of a page you can do so in the side menu. The way the pages look when you do this will change. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 October. It will be on all wikis from 12 October (calendar).

User:Embedded Data Bot

Hi,

in the last days I have uploaded several JPEG images which were unmodified images directly out of my Sony RX100 and which then have been cropped by User:Embedded Data Bot with the message "This file contains embedded data:...". See, e.g., File:Gairloch_02.jpg. Naturally, I asked myself what I had done wrong and went to the Bot description page, where I only saw one line explaining that the bot detects embedded data and reacts accordingly. When I clicked further through the links on the Bot description page I read about file sharers misusing files and speedy deletion tags, which only increased my fear that I had done something wrong inadvertently. Only after wading through several of the links on the Bot page did I put together the theory that there are probably some cameras, my camera being one of them, which produce two JPEGs in one file and that the bot simply deletes the second one to save space. Is my interpretation correct? If so, I would suggest adding some more information to the bot description to, firstly, explain why the bot does what it does and, secondly, assuage the fears of camera JPEG uploaders like me. I would suggest something like the following:

There have been several situations where people misused certain file formats, like JPEGs, by putting embedded data at the end of the file which does not belong there. Furthermore, there are some digital cameras which record two versions of the same image in one JPEG file, also using embedded data, where the second version is redundant and bloats the JPEG. This bot attempts to detect embedded data and act accordingly, limited to file deletion in the cases where a misuse is probable, overwrite with truncated file, e.g. in the cases where a redundant second image is contained in a JPEG, and adding {{Embedded data}} for human verification. See also users with access to the bot.

Spike (talk) 22:29, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

@Spike: The intent is not to save space, but anti-abuse. We are constantly receiving files containing malicious / abusive embedded data. There are cases where only additional images are found, which the bot just re-uploads a truncated file, but it is not easily do-able to check if the embedded image is the same as the visible image, and therefore we cannot just say 'the file is okay'; re-uploads ensures if the embedded part are in fact malicious / abusive, any admin can easily delete the original version and keep the visible part.
There are also many cases where the embedded part cannot be identified (a recent example). For those cases, a speedy deletion tag {{Embedded data}} is added.
In any case, you are free to edit the bot's userpage. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 00:37, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Google Art Project

Hello! Previously could download images using this program: http://gigafineart.herokuapp.com/gcidownload But now it does not work. A big request, teach me how to download in manual mode. Please provide detailed instructions on this example: https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/asset/friedrich-der-große/zAG2oXnnMYo6fA?ms=%7B%22x%22%3A0.5%2C%22y%22%3A0.5%2C%22z % 22% 3A8.958443957362226% 2C% 22size% 22% 3A% 7B% 22width% 22% 3A2.6305276072989403% 2C% 22height% 22% 3A1.2374999999999994% 7D% 7D

Thank you in advance--IgorSokol (talk) 16:04, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

I do not know how gigafineart works, nor I have any idea about its maintainer. I can, however, try to download it with some code I wrote a long time ago, but I am unable to allocate any time to make it a public tool. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 16:09, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
File:Friedrich der Große - Johann Georg Ziesenis - Google Cultural Institute.jpg --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 16:58, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
@IgorSokol: For some reason the old script can no longer find the crop data (and I have no time to debug) and used autocrop. Could you crop it to 6312x8470 px? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 17:20, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the photo. But I asked you, teach me, to download images yourself. Need detailed instructions. If it is possible, I would be extremely grateful. I need to get a few dozen images from this resource--IgorSokol (talk) 18:40, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, but I cannot, until far future when I or someone else get the code be production-ready. The script is around 700 lines of unpublished python and javascript code. I can, however, upload one or two images a day (due to limited time) if you want to give me a list of images to upload. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 18:53, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your willingness to help. I will send you a list in the letter--IgorSokol (talk) 19:25, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

This DR

If you understand how Flinfo works, perhaps you can give a brief reply in this DR. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:06, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

I don't think I have any ideas, sorry. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 05:05, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Embbedded Bot

Hi, Is the bot making incorrect edit summaries or failing to do an action? See Page history section of Special:Undelete/File:Jdsñkņñĺok.jpg It says "Protection against re-creation", which clearly it didn't do, as it was recreated twice more. Ronhjones  (Talk) 18:40, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: Those protections have an expiry of one minute, for purely technical reasons. I wouldn't want people to abuse this bot to apply long term semi-protections to arbitrary files. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 18:50, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
OK, I was just curious, the bot has done some excellent work in stopping the abuse. Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:16, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-42

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

  • When you edit a template with the visual editor it follows the template's format configuration on how to save it. You can now change the format in more powerful ways if your wiki wants it. [16][17]
  • The TwoColConflict extension is a new way to solve edit conflicts. It makes it easier to copy and paste the relevant text to the text field. It has been a beta feature for the last five months. You can now try out the new interface on a page where you will actually get simulated edit conflicts. You can give feedback to the developers.

Problems

  • There is a problem with recent changes pages and your watchlist that show a large number of pages. Until it is fixed, Wikidata edits will not be shown on recent changes or in your watchlist on Commons or Russian Wikipedia. If necessary, Wikidata edits will be removed from all wikis. [18]
  • Notifications are not working for some actions. For example some users don't get a notification when they are mentioned. The developers are working on fixing this. [19]
  • Users on some wikis could not change their preferences. This has now been fixed. [20]

Changes later this week

  • Editors and readers who still use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP will not be able to use Wikipedia from 17 October. Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP can't connect securely to the wikis. When we allow them to do so it means that we get less security for everyone else. If you use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP you can install Firefox 52 ESR instead. Around 0.1% of the traffic to the Wikimedia wikis comes from Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP. [21]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 October. It will be on all wikis from 19 October (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 17 October at 19:00 (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 18 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

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 use ccnorm_contains_any when you create an abuse filter. This can be used to look for multiple words or phrases within a string. It will find words where some characters have been replaced. You can read more in the documentation. [22]

Changes later this week

  • When you search in some languages the search function could use specific other languages if the first language didn't work. This is called a fallback language. This didn't work properly and created bad searches. The search index is being fixed to work better. [23]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 October. It will be on all wikis from 26 October (calendar).

Meetings
