De
positiekaart van Sint Eustatius
is niet helemaal goed gelukt, want hij zet de plaatsen niet op de juiste coördinaten. Dit valt bij een grotere kaart pas op, zie
Vestingwerken op Sint Eustatius#Kaart
, want aan de oostzijde vallen de vestingwerken in zee en aan de westzijde staat ze te ver landinwaarts. Het kaartje dat gebruikt is, bevat eigenlijk ook te veel tekst, waardoor de namen niet goed uit de verf komen. Is er iemand deze positiekaart kan verbeteren? Als dat met een andere kaart gebeurt, dan vind ik dat geen probleem. Alvast bedankt!

De coördinaten van de vestingwerken zijn niet goed. Als ik het plaatje toevoeg als overlay in Google Earth dan klopt het precies. –

De coördinaten zouden in principe allemaal moeten kloppen. Ik heb ze per artikel nauwkeurig opgezocht en bekeken in Google Maps. Ik heb net een paar steekproeven gedaan en met het overzetten lijkt niets verkeerd te zijn gegaan. Batterij De Windt (meest zuidelijk) is een mooi voorbeeld, omdat hij aan het eind van de weg ligt is die duidelijk te checken, zowel op de positiekaart als via de coördinaten in het artikel, die gelijk zijn aan de kaart in het artikel.

Gefixt. Omdat het eiland zo klein is, komt het heel nauw met de coördinaten van de randen van de kaart. De waarden kunnen waarschijnlijk nog iets beter, maar het is al een hele verbetering. –

Dat ze een klein stukje van de kust staan klopt trouwens, omdat ze vaak op een rots staan van 20-25 meter hoog., met een mini-strandje ervoor.

Weekly highlight
All wikis will be read-only
for a few minutes on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at
15:00 UTC
. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests,
which happen twice a year
. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.
Last week, all wikis had 2 hours of read-only time, and extended unavailability for user-scripts and gadgets. This was due to a security incident which has since been resolved. Work is ongoing to prevent re-occurrences. For current information please see the
post on the Stewards' noticeboard
translations
).
Updates for editors
Users facing multiple blocks on mobile will now see the reasons for each block separately, instead of a generic message. This helps them understand why they are blocked and what steps they can take to resolve the issue. For example, users affected for using common VPNs (such as
iCloud Private Relay
) will receive clearer guidance on what they need to do to start editing again.
Later this week,
Suggestion Mode
will become available as a beta feature within the visual editor at all Wikipedias. This feature proactively suggests various types of actions that people can consider taking to improve Wikipedia articles, and learn about related guidelines. The feature is locally configurable, and can also be locally expanded with custom Suggestions. Current settings can be seen at
Special:EditChecks
and there are
instructions for how administrators can customize
the links to point to local guidelines. The feature is connected to
Edit check
which suggests improvements while someone is writing new content. In the future, the Editing team plans to evaluate the feature's impact with newcomers through a controlled experiment.

This problem specifically affected users who defined a font rule in a custom stylesheet while creating a new topic with DiscussionTools.
Updates for technical contributors
API rate limiting update: To help ensure
fair use of infrastructure
, global API rate limits will be applied this week to requests without a compliant User-Agent that originate from outside Toolforge/WMCS and to unauthenticated requests made from web browsers. Higher limits will be applied to identified traffic in April. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see
Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits
The new GraphQL API has been released. The API was developed as a flexible alternative to select features of the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS), to improve developer experience and foster adaptability, and efficient data access. Try it out and

Updates for editors
The
Verbeterde syntaxiskleuring
beta feature, also known as
CodeMirror 6
, has been used for wikitext syntax highlighting since November 2024. It will be promoted out of beta by May 2026 in order to bring improvements and new
features
to all editors who use the standard syntax highlighter. If you have any questions or concerns about promoting the feature out of beta,
please share
Some changes to local user groups are performed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and logged there only. Now, interwiki rights changes will be logged both on Meta-Wiki and the wiki of the target user to make it easier to access a full record of user's rights changes on a local wiki. Past log entries for such changes will be backfilled in the coming weeks.
On wikis using
Flagged Revisions
, the number of pending changes shown on
Speciaal:PaginasVerouderdeEindredactie
previously counted pages which were no longer pending review, because they have been removed from the system without being reviewed, e.g. due to being deleted, moved to a different namespace, or due to wiki configuration changes. The count will be correct now. On some wikis the number shown will be much smaller than before. There should be no change to the list of pages itself.
Wikifunctions composition language has been rewritten, resulting in a new version of the language. This change aims to increase service stability by reducing the orchestrator's memory consumption. This rewrite also enables substantial latency reduction, code simplification, and better abstractions, which will open the door to later feature additions. Read more about
the changes
Users can now sort search results alphabetically by page title. The update gives an additional option to finding pages more easily and quickly. Previously, results could be sorted by Edit date, Creation date, or Relevance. To use the new option, open 'Advanced Search' on the search results page and select 'Alphabetically' under 'Sorting Order'.

Updates for technical contributors
A new special page,
Speciaal:LintTemplateErrors
, has been created to list transcluded pages that are flagged as containing lint errors to help users discover them easily. The list is sorted by the number of transclusions with errors. For example:
Speciaal:LintTemplateErrors/night-mode-unaware-background-color
Users of the
Verbeterde syntaxiskleuring
beta feature have been using
CodeMirror
instead of
CodeEditor
for syntax highlighting when editing JavaScript, CSS, JSON, Vue and Lua content pages, for some time now. Along with promoting CodeMirror 6 out of beta, the plan is to replace CodeEditor as the standard editor for these content models by May 2026.
Feedback or concerns are welcome
The
CodeMirror
JavaScript modules will soon be upgraded to CodeMirror 6. Leading up to the upgrade, loading the
ext.CodeMirror
or
ext.CodeMirror.lib
modules from gadgets and user scripts was deprecated in July 2025. The use of the
ext.CodeMirror.switch
hook was also deprecated in March 2025. Contributors can now make their scripts or gadgets compatible with CodeMirror 6. See the
migration guide
for more information.
The MediaWiki Interfaces team is expanding coverage of REST API module definitions to include
extension APIs
. REST API modules are groups of related endpoints that can be independently managed and versioned. Modules now exist for
GrowthExperiments
and
Wikifunctions
APIs. As we migrate extension APIs to this structure, documentation will move out of the main MediaWiki OpenAPI spec and REST Sandbox view, and will instead be accessible via module-specific options in the dropdown on the
REST Sandbox
(i.e.,
Speciaal:RestSandbox
, available on all wiki projects).
The
Scribunto
extension provides different pieces of information about the wiki where the module is being used via the
mw.site
library. Starting last week, the library also provides a
way
of accessing the
wiki ID
that can be used to facilitate cross-wiki module maintenance.

Request for Comment: VisualEditor automatic reference names
bewerken
brontekst bewerken
Laatste bericht:

Hi, I’m Johannes from
Wikimedia Deutschland
’s
Technical Wishes team
. Apologies for writing in English.
Help met het vertalen in uw taal
! We are considering to work on
Community Wishlist/W17: Improve VE references' automatic names and reuse
. This has been a long-term issue for wikitext editors (see e.g.
en:WP:VisualEditor/Named references
) which has been among the top-voted wishes in several
Community Wishlist Surveys
, e.g.
2017
2019
2022
or
2023
We would like your input on the
solutions
proposed on our project page:
m:WMDE Technical Wishes/References/VisualEditor automatic reference names
. We are considering several options, which can be combined if desired by the community.
Changing the default pattern for automatically generated reference names (currently
":n"
, e.g.
":0"
":1"
...) to use the
reference type
instead (e.g.
"book_reference-1"
).
Providing a simple mechanism for communities to configure a different default name.
Generating automatic reference names based on the
domain name
(if it’s a web citation).
Generating automatic reference names based on template parameters (e.g. "title" or "last"+"first") – defined by the community.
Feedback
bewerken
brontekst bewerken
Visit our project page
to read about our proposal in detail and share your thoughts
on metawiki
Please note
: We will only implement a solution if there’s clear consensus among the global community. Our intention is not to build the perfect solution, but to find a simple and lean one that alleviates the pain caused by auto generated names. We are aware that some experienced VisualEditor users might prefer an option to manually change reference names in VisualEditor, but such a UX intervention is difficult to achieve across reference types and thus out of scope for our team, we can only improve the auto-naming mechanism.
We are happy about suggestions for improving certain details of the proposed solutions. Any other feedback and alternative proposals are also welcome – even though it’s out of scope for us, it might still be relevant for future work on this topic.
Please support us interpreting consensus by clearly indicating your opinion (e.g. by using support/neutral/oppose templates). We are aware of
en:WP:NOTVOTE
, but given that we are facilitating this discussion with users from different wikis, potentially commenting in their native language, clearly indicating your position helps us avoid misunderstandings.
Thank you for participating!

Weekly highlight
Wikimedia site users can now log in without a password using passkeys. This is a secure method supported by fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN. With this change, all users who opt for passwordless login will find it easier, faster, and more secure to log in to their accounts using any device. The new passkey login option currently appears as an autofill suggestion in the username field. An additional
"Log in with passkey" button
will soon be available for users who have already registered a passkey. This update will improve security and user experience. The
screen recording
demonstrates the passwordless login process step by step.
All wikis will be read-only
for a few minutes on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at

. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests,
which happen twice a year
. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.
Updates for editors
Wikimedia site users can now export their notifications older than 5 years using a
new Toolforge tool
. This will ensure that users retain their important notifications and avoid them being lost based on the planned change to delete notifications older than 5 years, as previously announced.
Wikipedia editors in Indonesian, Thai, Turkish, and Simple English now have access to Special:PersonalDashboard. This is an
early version of an experience
that introduces newer editors to patrolling workflows, making it easier for them to move from making edits to participating in more advanced moderation work on their project.
The
Special:Block
now has two minor interface changes. Administrators can now easily perform indefinite blocks through a dedicated radio button in the expiry section. Also, choosing an indefinite expiry provides a different set of common reasons to select from, which can be changed at:
MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown
Mobile editors
at several wikis
can now see an improved logged-out edit warning, thanks to the recent updates from the Growth team. These changes released last week are part of ongoing efforts and tests to enhance
account creation experience on mobile
and then increase participation.

Updates for technical contributors
Images built using Toolforge will soon get the upgraded buildpacks version, bringing support for newer language versions and other upstream improvements and fixes. If you use Toolforge Build Service, review the recent
cloud-announce email
and update your build configuration as necessary to ensure your tools are compatible.
The
API Portal
documentation wiki will shut down in June 2026. API keys created on the API Portal will continue to work normally. api.wikimedia.org endpoints will be deprecated gradually starting in July 2026. Documentation on the API Portal is moving to

Weekly highlight
The Beta version of
Abstract Wikipedia
a new Wikimedia project which is language-independent, was launched last week. The project allows communities to build Wikipedia articles in their native language, which can be readily accessed by other users in their own languages. The wiki is powered by instructions from Wikifunctions and also based on structured content from Wikidata.
Updates for editors
The Growth team is running an A/B test to evaluate a clearer, more user-friendly message that promotes account creation on wikis. Currently when logged-out mobile users begin editing, they see a jarring warning message that can feel abrupt and discouraging. This also presents temporary account editing as the default rather than encouraging account creation. The test is running on ten Wikipedias, including Arabic, French, Spanish and German.
The Wikimedia Apps team is inviting feedback on
how editing should work on the Wikipedia mobile apps
. The discussion focuses on improving how users access editing tools when they tap "Edit". This is part of a broader effort to convert readers who develop an interest in editing, to access a more user-friendly pathway to start contributing.

Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226)
bewerken
brontekst bewerken
Laatste bericht:
21 dagen geleden
1 bericht
1 persoon in overleg
Hello everyone,
This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as
Module:Itemgroup/list
).
The Change:
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property
P1846
, combined with the qualifier
P180
Q19571328
We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property:
P14226
What You Need To Do:
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from
P14226
instead of the old
P1846
P180
structure. A
list of pages
was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.
Deadline:
We are temporarily retaining the old data on
P1846
to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old
P1846
statements will be removed after
May 1, 2026
. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help!

Similarly, participants can work toward shared targets and see their collective impact as the event unfolds. The feature is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Learn more in
the documentation
The new
watchlist labels
feature (announced in
Tech News 2026-07
) is now available via VisualEditor, the source editor, and the 'watchstar' (or watch link, for skins that don't have a star icon). Previously it was only possible to assign labels via
EditWatchlist

The
sub-referencing feature
, which lets editors add details to an existing reference without duplicating it, will be gradually rolled out to
more wikis
later this year. Wikis using the
Reference Tooltips
gadget are encouraged to update their version (typically at
MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js
as shown
here
) to ensure compatibility. Other reference-related gadgets may also be affected.
All Wikinews editions will be closed and switched to read-only mode on 4 May 2026. Content will remain accessible, but no new edits or articles can be added. This closure was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation following extended discussions.
The
Action API
has had several formats for requested output. One of them,
format=php
, is being removed soon. Please ensure your scripts or bots use the
JSON format
. This removal should affect very few scripts and bots.
The
Special:NamespaceInfo
page now includes namespace aliases. For example "WP" for the "Project" ("Wikipedia") namespace on the German Wikipedia.

Reading lists
is a feature which allows readers to save articles to a list for reading later. This feature is now in beta on Arabic, French, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Chinese Wikipedias and by default for all new accounts on all Wikipedias.
An experiment which explores extending
Page Previews to mobile web
will be launched in the week of April 20 on Arabic, English, French, Italian, Polish, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. Page Previews are pop-ups that display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and a link to open the full article of a blue link, thereby improving content discovery. The feature is already available on desktop and in the apps.

A/B-test van de Voorgestelde-bewerkingen-modus met nieuwkomers
bewerken
brontekst bewerken
Laatste bericht:

De
Voorgestelde-bewerkingen-modus
is een nieuwe functie voor de Visuele Editor. De functie geeft proactief suggesties om Wikipedia-artikelen te verbeteren. Suggesties die gedaan worden zijn "voeg een bronvermelding toe", "verbeter de toon" of "repareer een link naar een doorverwijspagina." De functie kan lokaal geconfigureerd worden (zie
Speciaal:EditChecks
) en kan - en moet - lokaal worden aangepast (zie
mw:Help:Suggestion mode#For administrators – local customization
). De functie was beschikbaar als globale
Beta functie
sinds begin maart en op de Engelse Wikipedia sinds begin februari.
Na twee maanden van
feedback
, duizenden
bewerkingen
op de Wikipedia-versies, en voortdurende
verbeteringen van de functie
, denken we dat de functie
bijna
klaar is, zodat jullie allemaal (vrijwilligers) en wij (de staf) de impact kunnen evalueren via een kort gecontroleerd experiment. Dit experiment zal vier weken lopen en zal de functie beschikbaar stellen aan 50% van de nieuwkomers (accounts met minder dan 100 edits op die wiki) op
ca. 20 wikis
Voordat de test kan beginnen, hebben we jullie hulp nodig. Kan je alsjeblieft de punten in de paragraaf hieronder "Verzoek om hulp en feedback" opvolgen om ervoor te zorgen dat de functie is vertaald en geconfigureerd op een manier die overeenstemt met de voorkeuren in jouw wiki?
Waarom een Voorgestelde-bewerkingen-modus?
Deze Voorgestelde-bewerkingen-modus is bedoeld als hulp voor twee doelgroepen:
[In de eerste plaats:] Nieuwkomers die graag willen bewerken, maar die worstelen met hoe ze dat op een constructieve manier kunnen doen. Daarbij stimuleert het hen om het beleid en de richtlijnen op Wikipedia te bekijken.
N.B.: iedere dag zijn er 150.000–200.000 bewerkingssessies die minstens twee seconden duren, maar die ermee eindigen dat iemand het bewerkingsvenster verlaat zonder wijzigingen op te slaan.
[In de tweede plaats:] Ervaren gebruikers die een betere manier zoeken om uit te vinden wat er misschien gefixt moet worden, en die daarbij bredere informatie zoeken om te besluiten of actie nodig is, en indien ja, hoe dan gehandeld moet worden.
N.B.: vrijwilligers hebben vele hulpmiddelen, gadgets en scripts gemaakt die met het bovenstaande kunnen helpen. (zie
deze voorbeelden
of
deze andere voorbeelden
). De Voorgestelde-bewerkingen-modus streeft ernaar om de functionaliteit die deze hulpmiddelen hebben beter toegankelijk te maken voor meer mensen en in meer talen.
Verzoek om hulp en feedback
Moderatoren:
Controleer alsjeblieft het lokale bestand
MediaWiki:Editcheck-config.json
en zorg ervoor dat dit de belangrijkste voorbeelden behandelt die op
de helppagina
staan.
Controleer alsjeblieft of jouw wiki lokale documentatie heeft over een van de soorten "Voorgestelde bewerkingen" (suggesties), en zo ja, overschrijf dan de standaardlinks naar de pagina's in jouw wiki. Bekijk de huidige links in
Speciaal:EditChecks
en de locaties om die links te overschrijven in de lijst op
de helppagina
Vertalers: Controleer alsjeblieft voor jouw taal de
status van de voltooiing op Translatewiki
van de berichten voor de gebruikersinterface.
Bewerkers: Laat het ons alsjeblieft weten als je ideeën hebt hoe deze functies verder verbeterd kunnen worden. Vertel ons ook over jouw zorgen en deel eventuele foutmeldingen. Je kan dat doen op deze pagina of op
de overlegpagina voor de feedback over het project
We zijn van plan het experiment volgende week te starten, nadat we bevestigd hebben gezien dat jouw wiki de lokale
MediaWiki:Editcheck-config.json
heeft gemaakt of heeft geüpdatet en op het moment dat ook de vertalingen van de interface voor 85% zijn voltooid. Ook mogen er op dat moment geen ernstige bezwaren meer zijn tegen het experiment. Het experiment zal het effect van de Voorgestelde-bewerkingen-modus meten op het aantal mobiele bewerkingen door nieuwkomers, mits deze constructief blijken (en niet zijn teruggedraaid). Het experiment zal ook de impact van de functie meten op het behoud van nieuwe medewerkers en op het aantal terugdraaiingen en het aantal blokkades.
Bedankt!
