Tech News: 2023-06

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

• In the Vector 2022 skin, logged-out users using the full-width toggle will be able to see the setting of their choice even after refreshing pages or opening new ones. This only applies to wikis where Vector 2022 is the default. [1]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 February. It will be on all wikis from 9 February (calendar).
• Previously, we announced when some wikis would be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. These switches will not be announced any more, as the read-only time has become non-significant. Switches will continue to happen at 7AM UTC on Tuesdays and Thursdays. [2]
• Across all the wikis, in the Vector 2022 skin, logged-in users will see the page-related links such as "What links here" in a new side menu. It will be displayed on the other side of the screen. This change had previously been made on Czech, English, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. [3]
• Community Wishlist Survey 2023 will stop receiving new proposals on Monday, 6 February 2023, at 18:00 UTC. Proposers should complete any edits by then, to give time for translations and review. Voting will begin on Friday, 10 February.

Future changes

• Gadgets and user scripts will be changing to load on desktop and mobile sites. Previously they would only load on the desktop site. It is recommended that wiki administrators audit the gadget definitions prior to this change, and add skins=… for any gadgets which should not load on mobile. More details are available.

Requested Block

Hello! I saw your name in Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to consider placing self-requested blocks, and I was wondering if you could consider blocking me for a period of one month? I want to enforce staying off-wiki for a while until I get RL stuff in order. Panini! • 🥪 15:15, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Hey Panini!, I note on your user page you have adopted two users (Bumpf and OktaviaMiki) — did you want to let them know you're not going to be around prior to me blocking you for one month? — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 17:44, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Wowza! I forgot about that!

What if as an alternative, I'm blocked for one month with only talk page access? I'm pretty sure that's possible right? Panini! • 🥪 18:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

@Panini!: Do you mean access to your own talk page, or all user talk pages (i.e. a partial block)? It might also be worth considering using the "WikiBreak Enforcer" script, which prevents you from logging in for a specified period of time. — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 19:13, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Access to only my talk page would be alright. Panini! • 🥪 20:10, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
