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.
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

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.

hover()
or
on()
instead. Examples can be found in the

صفحي جي لحاظ سان گروھي نتيجا

The content attribution tools
Who Wrote That?
XTools Authorship
, and
XTools Blame
now support the Dutch, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Japanese, Polish and Portuguese Wikipedias. This was the
#7 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey
The
Search Preview panel
has been deployed on four Wikipedias (Catalan, Dutch, Hungarian and Norwegian). The panel will show an image related to the article (if existing), the top sections of the article, related images (coming from MediaSearch on Commons), and eventually the sister projects associated with the article.
The
RealMe
extension now allows administrators to verify URLs for any page, for Mastodon and similar software.
The default project license
has been officially upgraded
to CC BY-SA 4.0. The software interface messages have been updated. Communities should feel free to start updating any mentions of the old CC BY-SA 3.0 licensing within policies and related documentation pages.
Problems
For three days last month, some Wikipedia pages edited with VisualEditor or DiscussionTools had an unintended
__TOC__
(or its localized form) added during an edit. There is
a listing of affected pages sorted by wiki
, that may still need to be fixed.
Currently, the "
Sort this page by default as
" feature in VisualEditor is broken. Existing
{{DEFAULTSORT:...}}
keywords incorrectly appear as missing templates in VisualEditor. Developers are exploring how to fix this. In the meantime, those wishing to edit the default sortkey of a page are advised to switch to source editing.
Last week, an update to the delete form may have broken some gadgets or user scripts. If you need to manipulate (empty) the reason field, replace
#wpReason
with
#wpReason > input
. See
an example fix
Changes later this week
The
new version
of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from
13 June
. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from
14 June
. It will be on all wikis from

calendar
).
VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on English Wikipedia on Monday, and all other
large
wikis on Thursday. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here.
Future changes
From 5 June to 17 July, the Foundation's
Security team
is holding a consultation with contributors regarding a draft policy to govern the use of third-party resources in volunteer-developed gadgets and scripts. Feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome at
Third-party resources policy
on meta-wiki.

The Minerva skin now applies more predefined styles to the
.mbox-text
CSS class. This enables support for mbox templates that use divs instead of tables. Please make sure that the new styles won't affect other templates in your wiki.
Gadgets will now load on both desktop and mobile by default. Previously, gadgets loaded only on desktop by default. Changing this default using the
|targets=
parameter is also deprecated and should not be used. You should make gadgets work on mobile or disable them based on the skin (with the
|skins=
parameter in
MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition
) rather than whether the user uses the mobile or the desktop website. Popular gadgets that create errors on mobile will be disabled by developers on the Minerva skin as a temporary solution.
All namespace tabs now have the same browser
access key
by default. Previously, custom and extension-defined namespaces would have to have their access keys set manually on-wiki, but that is no longer necessary.
The review form of the Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standardized
user interface components
Future changes
How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will change in the coming weeks at
group2 wikis

سلام،
حال اي ۾ سنڌي وڪيپيڊيا جي ھر صفحي تي ۲۰,۰۰۰ مضمون پورا ٿيڻ جو بينر لڳايو ويو آھي. پر اھو بينر موبائلن لاءِ برابر طريقي سان ڪنفِگر نہ ٿيل آھي. بينر ڊيسڪٽاپ جي ماپ جو جوئن سبب پيج وڏو ۽ لفظ تمام ننڍا ٿي ٿا وڃن ۽ کسڪي ٿا وڃن. مھرباني ڪري ڪوئي حل ڪڍندا. @JogiAsad
